"The start of convoy's movement is at 10 a.m. [7:00 GMT]," Basurin said.
Earlier, the DPR stated that Sunday would be the last day of the militia's heavy weapons withdrawal from the line of contact in Donbas.
The breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine and Kiev forces agreed to withdraw heavy arms from the line of contact back in September 2014, when the first ceasefire deal was reached in Minsk, Belarus. However, the warring sides failed to observe the ceasefire, continuing hostilities.
Apart from the ceasefire, the deal stipulates the withdrawal of heavy artillery from the line of contact. On Thursday, Kiev began to pull back heavy weapons, while Donetsk militia said it had withdrawn 90 percent of its heavy weaponry by that time.
