Our Sister Republic Attacked And Bombed By The Ukraine Junta, Civilian Areas Targeted, Also Discontent Rising In The Nazi Ukraine Ranks ~ LPR Major Marochko

The situation in the zone of responsibility of the People’s Army has deteriorated.

The Ukrainian Junta military continue to provoke the LPR People’s Army units to respond fire. Yesterday, on the order of the commander of the 44th artillery brigade, Baranov, the Nazi Ukrainian punishers two times shelled our positions in the area of the localities Zhyoltoye and Kalinovo with 152mm artillery, having launched 17 artillery shells. In addition, from the positions of the 24th brigade under command of Colonel Shebchenko, the shelling was carried out with infantry fighting vehicles, grenade launchers and small arms.

The Ukrainian Junta command continues to consider the military option to resolve the conflict in the east of the country as the main one, due to which the equipment is being amassed near the contact line.

In particular, in the locality of Lisichansk arrived a convoy of military equipment, including 15 sand-colored «Hammer» vehicles and 6 armored personnel carriers BTR-80. It is possible that it is another group of foreign mercenaries who arrived to subsequently carry out a provocation.

Along with this, a new wave of discontent is rising in the ranks of the AFU against their command. According to our data, in the 14th brigade of the AFU, stationed near the locality of Schastye, bonuses for participation in the hostilities has not been paid for two months. Due to this fact, in the brigade units there is growing discontent among the military with their command, and this fact negatively affects their morale and desire to carry on duty on the forefront.

In addition, in the brigade units there were found faults with deliveries of petroleum products, with the supply of fuel in the units critically low currently. It is possible that the fuel is sold out for the purchase of warm clothing, food and alcohol.

The Ukrainian side continues to ignore the Minsk Agreements and fail to fulfill its international obligations.

In our turn, the People’s Army remains in compliance with the peace agreements reached in Minsk, despite repeated provocation from the Nazi Ukrainian military. Our units are continuously alert, carry out activities of combat training to maintain high alert in order to repel any provocations and aggressions by the Ukrainian punishers.

We also continue to provide full assistance to the population of the Republic. Yesterday, soldiers of the LPR People’s Army, together with the project «Volunteer» of the public movement «Peace to Lugansk», delivered humanitarian aid to a state budgetary educational institution of the LPR, the Irminsky special boarding school, located directly on the contact line. Two tons of food were passed to pupils of the educational institution.
