Since Tuesday, Azerbaijan has launched a large-scale attack along the line of contact with Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), simultaneously with carrying out massive missile, artillery, and air strikes.

The analysis of the actions by the Azerbaijan armed forces shows that their task is to divide Artsakh and cause irreparable damage to its vitality. During two days of fierce battles, the units of the Artsakh armed forces are heroically defending against the enemy, which was several times superior in manpower and military equipment, causing it the greatest losses.

Unfortunately, the Artsakh side also has casualties and wounded. And in some areas, the enemy has managed to penetrate into the combat positions of the Artsakh Defense Army, and take control of a number of heights and strategic road junctions.

In the current situation, the actions of the international community, in terms of stopping the war and resolving the situation, are insufficient.

Taking into account all this, the Artsakh authorities accept the proposal of the command of the contingent carrying out Russian peacekeeping mission in Artsakh regarding the cessation of fire.
