Officially the ceasefire regimen took effect in Donbas on February 15. The cessation of hostilities was part of the package of measures for implementing the Minsk Accords. The Contact Group (of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, the OSCE, Russia and Ukraine) signed the document on February 12. The Donetsk Republic has said more than once that the observance of truce depends entirely on Kiev.
Under the package of measures all artillery pieces with calibers of 100 mm and more should be pulled back 50 kilometers away from the disengagement line, multiple rocket launchers, 70 kilometers, Tornado, Uragan and Smerch launchers and also Tochka missiles, 140 away kilometers. The conflicting parties are to move their weapons back to an equal distance: Kiev, from the current line of engagement, and the Donetsk and Luhansk republics, from the line drawn under the Minsk memorandum of September 19.
