The situation in the responsibility zone of the LPR People’s Militia hasn’t changed much and remains tense.
In the last 24 hours the enemy committedsix occasions of the ceasefire violations.
Our positions in the area of Zhelobok, Frunse, Kalinovo, Kalinovka and Sokolniki localities underwent fire. During the shelling, the Ukrainian Armed Forces applied 120-mm and 82-mm mortars, antiaircraft guns, automatic grenade launchers and small arms. In total, 75 rounds and grenades were engaged on the republic’s territory.
By such actions, the Ukrainian criminal authorities openly makes it clear both the OSCE SMM and the world community that it does not intend to implement the agreements signed in Minsk.
In turn, I want to say that it is very unpleasant for us to hear that the representatives of the OSCE SMM in their daily reports absolutely do not see the efforts of the LPR People's Militia to adhere to the Minsk Agreements, such as mine clearance of the territories, the repeated attempts of our side to withdraw forces and means in the bridge area of Stanitsa Luganskaya, prohibiting our troops from using UAVs, removing our heavy armament to storage facilities, ensuring unimpeded movement of the OSCE mission, as well as facilitating the return of two lost UAVs of the OSCE.
