The situation in the responsibility zone of the LPR People's Militia underwent no essential changes and remains tense. Over the past day, the enemy committed three violations of the ceasefire.
Our units' positions near the localities of Frunze, Molodyozhnoye and Smeloye were shelled. When attacking, the Armed Forces of Ukraine applied 120mm and 82mm mortars, IFV cannons, and small arms. In total, 16 projectiles and shells were launched onto the Republic's territory.
Our reconnaissance established that the 24th separate mechanized brigade began rotating for units of the 128th separate mountain-infantry brigade. The rotation was chiefly caused by the low manning level of the 24th brigades' units, which makes 50-60% due to massive desertion. Soldiers flee from from the brigade because of the bribes demanded by the command officers, as well as unsatisfactory service conditions.
We also detected another non-combat AFU losses in the 'ATO' zone. Thus, on May 25, two soldiers were wounded during a fire training session of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade's military personnel at a proving range in the vicinity of Nikolayevka locality due to poor preparation for the training, insufficient experience of the shooting commanders, as well as negligent performance of duties by the brigade's Vice-Commander.
In addition, yesterday, several IFVs pulled off the railway platforms and crushed three soldiers as a result of safety requirements' violations during the loading of military equipment in the 1st battalion of the 24th separate mechanized brigade under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Steshko.
The feud between units of the National Guard and the AFU has reached an unprecedented scale. Yesterday, Ukrainian media reported that the military prosecutor of Ukraine A. Matios said that the department had initiated several criminal cases against soldiers of the Azov regiment for deliberate murders. The Chief Prosecutor was not sincere in his statement, he did not say that, for the record, the military prosecutor's office had also initiated a number of criminal cases against fighters from the Right Sector radical fascist organization located in the villages of Zolotoye and Stanitsa Luganskaya. The fighters were charged under the Criminal Code articles for rapes, kidnapping, and arms trafficking.
We, in our turn, adhere to the 'silence regime' and observe the Minsk Agreements. Our actions are aimed at solving the conflict in Donbass peacefully.
