Lugansk Defense: Situation Report, 26.05.2016

The situation in the zone of responsibility of the People's Militia remains tense and over the past day has aggravated.

Yesterday, the Ukrainian punishers from the 54th separate mechanized brigade, and also from the 59th separate motor-infantry brigade by order of the command, 12 times subjected to shelling our positions in the areas of the localities of Kalinovo, Kalinovka and Lozovoye. The punishers fired from IFV (more than 10 shots), mortar of 82mm caliber (more than 15 shots), the automatic grenade launcher (more than 40 shots), and also small arms of various caliber. As a result of firing by the Ukrainian punishers one serviceman has got a shrapnel wound.

The military-political leadership of Ukraine continues to carry out propaganda activities in the localities near the line of contact. So, according to our investigation, in the locality of Luganskoye the leadership of the LPR is being discredited. In mass populated places there are distributed leaflets with information that allegedly the officers of the Russian army are in the People's Militia decision-making positions. Also the LPR economic situation and the welfare of citizens is described in a negative way, the slogan: "Salaries - as in Ukraine, the prices - as in Russia" is used. Also, in the locality of Lisichansk the Ukrainian punishers carry out the propaganda work aimed at creation of a negative image towards the leadership of the LPR and propaganda of local population in favor of Ukraine.

The command of anti-terrorist operation continues using the ceasefire regime for the equipping of new positions on the line of contact. According to our data in the areas of the locality of Rassadky the equipping of three platoon strong points is recorded, on the positions there continue the engineering works with the use of heavy construction equipment. Near the locality of Dmitrovka the company strong point is placed and equipped in the engineering way.

Thus, the Ukrainian punishers continue to consider the solution of the conflict in Donbass by using force as they the main one, and also use the ceasefire regime for accumulation of the military potential, actively applying the help of foreign partners.

In its turn, the People's Militia plays a crucial role in ensuring protection and safety. Strictly observing the Minsk Agreements, not reacting to military, political, information and other provocations by Ukraine, our units steadily continue to improve fighting skill.
