During the ceasefire in Oleshky, the sides monitored each other using drones, – Arakhamia

In the first 24 hours of the ceasefire regime in temporarily occupied Oleshky, the parties did not have an incident reporting procedure. David Arakhamia said that to verify reports of troop movements, drones from each side were allowed to fly 2.

The head of the Servant of the People faction and a member of the Ukrainian negotiating group told reporters at the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States in Washington that initially there were numerous reports of the deployment of personnel and the delivery of ammunition. According to the politician, before making any accusations against the other side, he personally demanded video confirmation.

How the ceasefire violations were tracked

“When we began the ceasefire in the first 24 hours, we really forgot to implement an incident-control mechanism,” Arakhamia said.

According to him, at that time both sides claimed, referring to intelligence data, about ammunition movements.

Thus everyone was gathered and it was proposed to allow each side to launch two drones at all times to conduct objective monitoring of incidents, in order to have video to confirm and for possible later accusation of the other side for violations.

At the same time, in his view, “likely the truth lies somewhere in the middle.”

Arakhamia suggested that some regroupings on the ground could have taken place, but, in his assessment, they did not worsen the positions of the Ukrainian defenders.

Perhaps someone used this, you know, to regroup in a certain way on a smaller scale, but this is definitely not something dramatic that would have harmed the positions of the Ukrainian army. This is exactly

— he noted.

Earlier, Ukrainian military officials reported that the enemy tried to use the ceasefire to strengthen its lines.

In particular, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that Russian units used the lull for force rotation and strengthening logistics. At the same time, the sides officially agreed to a ban on movement of equipment during the evacuation of civilians.

And 8 on November, President Zelenskiy confirmed that under the cover of a humanitarian operation in Oleshky the Russians carried out a significant rotation.
