Lugansk Defense: Situation Report, 19.05.2016





Thursday, May 19, 2016 - 16:30


The situation in the zone of the People's Militia responsibility hasn't changed significantly over the last day, remains tense, tends to aggravation and escalation of the conflict.

Yesterday, the Ukrainian punishers from the AFU 54th separate motorized brigade and the 59th separate motor-infantry brigade by the order of the command four times violated the ceasefire regime. The firing was applied onto the units of the People's Militia in the areas of the localities of Kalinovka and Kalinovo from the automatic grenade launcher (more than 110 shots), grenade launchers (more than 15 shots), and also from small arms of various caliber.

The military-political leadership of Ukraine continues violating conditions of presence of heavy military equipment on the contact line provided by the Minsk agreements.

According to our data, at the Kharkov armor plant which is under protection of the national guard of Ukraine there are the T-64 tanks which have been fully repaired. At the moment the T-64 tanks and also the staff from the Desna training center which location is in Chernigov are being uploaded on platforms. The destination of these military echelons are the railway stations Schast'ye and Olkhovaya.

Our reconnaissance elicited the new facts proving the engineering works of engineer installations near the line of contact by the AFU military personnel. Near the locality of Nizhnyaya Olkhovaya there was detected the location of the equipped platoon strong point of the 2d motorized battalion of the 28 separate motorized brigade. In the area of the locality of Zhyoltoye there was also detected the platoon strong point where there are 3 disguised IFVs. Near the locality of Novozvanovka, the engineering works on the equipping of firing positions and dugouts are being conducted by the AFU personnel.

Thus, despite the agreements on withdrawal of heavy arms and ceasefire reached in Minsk, the leadership of Ukraine continues accumulating military potential to solve the conflict in Donbass by force.

In my turn, I want to notice that the People's Militia observes the peace agreements reached in Minsk despite the provocations by the Ukrainian security officers which became more frequent. This fact and the similar ones give the grounds to the leaders of the republic and the People's Militia not to weaken vigilance and insistence on high standards, paying special attention to the protection and safety of the LPR within which the program of combat training of units will be boosted and their fighting power will be increased.
