Over the past day, the militants violated the ceasefire in Donbas on one occasion, the press centre of the antiterrorist operation (ATO) said in a Facebook report on Tuesday, 30 January.

"All of the yesterday and evening passed without violations of the ceasefire regime along the contact line in Donbas. The only shelling by the Russian occupying groups took place in the early hours of Tuesday," the report said.

In the Donetsk sector, the enemy at about three o'clock in the morning for forty-five minutes shelled the positions of Ukrainian defenders of the village of Kamyanka from grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms.

Ukrainian troops sustained no casualties in the shelling.

"No ceasefire violations were registered in other areas of our defence. The situation is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the headquarters said.

US Special Representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker said that the hostilities in eastern Ukraine can be ended in a year.
