A/HRC/40/CRP.3 III. Impact of hostilities I have already forgotten when I slept in a night robe. We go to bed in sports pants and sports jumpers so we don’t have to run naked when the shelling starts. We go to sleep and wonder if we are going to wake up or not. I wish I could have a good night rest at least once. - Resident in Kamianka, a village near the contact line. 18. During the reporting period, hostilities continued to affect the civilian population in the conflict zone of eastern Ukraine. Against the backdrop of a decreasing number of ceasefire violations as reported by the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine,13 exchanges of fire across the contact line continued to impact residential areas and result in civilian casualties and damage to civilian property and infrastructure, including water facilities and electricity lines. Deteriorating factor was the continued placing of military positions in immediate proximity to residential areas and decreasing distances between the positions of Ukrainian forces and armed groups.
