Summary • Compared with the previous reporting period, the SMM recorded more ceasefire violations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. • The Mission saw fresh damage from gunfire to a functioning school in non-government- controlled Zolote-5/Mykhailivka. • The SMM recorded ceasefire violations near the Zolote disengagement area. • The Mission saw the body of a deceased man at the entry-exit checkpoint in Marinka. • The SMM observed weapons in violation of withdrawal lines on both sides of the contact line. • The Mission facilitated and monitored adherence to the ceasefire to enable repairs to critical civilian infrastructure as well as to enable demining in Luhansk region. • The SMM observed events commemorating Victory Day in Odessa, Kharkiv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Uzhhorod. • Restrictions of the Mission’s access continued in all three disengagement areas and elsewhere. The SMM’s freedom of movement was also restricted in non-government- controlled areas at checkpoints near Verkhnoshyrokivske and Shevchenko, as well as at a checkpoint near Siedove, close to the border with the Russian Federation.* Ceasefire violations[1] In Donetsk region, the SMM recorded more ceasefire violations, including, however, fewer explosions (about 120), compared with the previous reporting period (about 450 explosions). The majority of ceasefire violations were recorded in areas north-east and south of Pyshchevyk (government- controlled, 25km north-east of Mariupol). In Luhansk region, the Mission recorded more ceasefire violations, including about 725 explosions, compared with the previous reporting period (about 30 explosions). About 90 per cent of them, including about 630 explosions of outgoing artillery and mortar rounds as well as impacts of artillery rounds, were recorded in areas east, south and south-west of Popasna (government-controlled, 69km west of Luhansk) and areas west and west-south-west of Kadiivka (formerly Stakhanov, non- government-controlled, 50km west of Luhansk). Fresh damage from gunfire to a functioning school in Zolote-5/Mykhailivka On 8 May, at 4 Myru Street, on the south-eastern edge of Zolote-5/Mykhailivka (non-government- controlled, 58km west of Luhansk), the SMM observed damage to a functioning school building. It saw two partially shattered first-floor windows in two of the building’s north-north-east-facing walls, one of which also had a hole in the remaining glass; one first-floor north-north-east-facing window with a hole in the glass; two first-floor west-north-west-facing windows with holes in the glass; and a second-floor west-north-west-facing window with a hole in the glass as well as a hole in the wall plaster inside of the window pane. All of the damage was assessed as fresh and caused by shrapnel or small-arms fire. A school representative (woman in her forties) told the Mission that the damage had been discovered on the morning of 8 May and that no one had been present at the school at the time. The same school has sustained damage nine times since December 2018 (for previous observations, see SMM Daily Report of 17 April 2019). Fresh crater in Troitske On 9 May, the SMM saw a crater on the south-eastern side of Lermontova Street in Troitske, about 160m south-east of a recently damaged school building on Kvitkova Street (see SMM Daily Report 10 May 2019). The Mission assessed the crater as recent and probably caused by an 82mm round fired from a south-easterly direction. The director of the school and a resident of Troitske (a woman in her fifties) separately told the SMM that there had been shelling in the area on the morning of 6 May. The director added that there had been classes at the school at the time when shelling had occurred. Man died at the entry-exit checkpoint in Marinka On 10 May at the entry-exit checkpoint in Marinka (government-controlled, 23km south-west of Donetsk), the SMM saw the body of a deceased man covered with a blanket. Earlier that day, at the same place the Mission had seen paramedics attending to a man (in his sixties) lying on the ground. An officer of the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service told the SMM that the man had fallen unconscious soon after he had stepped of out the car in which he and his wife had been travelling to non-government-controlled areas. Disengagement areas[2] On the evening of 9 May, the SMM camera in Zolote (government-controlled, 60km west of Luhansk) recorded six undetermined explosions at an assessed range of 4-6km south, two undetermined explosions at an assessed range of 1-2km east-south-east, an undetermined explosion at an assessed range of 2-4km east and two undetermined explosions at an assessed range of 2-4km east-north-east (all assessed as outside the disengagement area). Positioned inside the disengagement area near Stanytsia Luhanska (government-controlled, 16km north-east of Luhansk) and close to the disengagement area near Petrivske (non-government- controlled, 41km south of Donetsk), the Mission observed a calm situation.[3] Withdrawal of weapons The SMM continued to monitor the withdrawal of weapons in implementation of the Memorandum and the Package of Measures and its Addendum.

The UAV also spotted five recently dug 5m-long trenches in a field about 1.5km north-east of Novohryhorivka (33km west of Luhansk). 10 May The SMM saw an APC (MT-LB) in Nova Marivka (64km south of Donetsk). UAV seen flying in the security zone The SMM saw an unidentified UAV (assessed as a fixed-wing type) flying in a north-westerly direction at an altitude of about 200-300m about 2km south of Zaichenko (non-government-controlled, 26km north-east of Mariupol).
