If You Want Peace, Prepare For War ! ( Lugansk People’s Army Maj. Marochko ~ Military Report/Video)

(FULL MILITARY SITUATION REPORT/VIDEO FROM HIGH COMMAND LPR PEOPLE’S ARMY MAJ. MAROCHKO) ‘We continue to count on a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass, but follow the words of the Roman historian Cornelius Nepos, ‘If you want peace, prepare for a war!’.

Despite the decrease in the number of bombardments, the situation on the contact line has not changed significantly and remains under control.

Over the past day, the Nazi Ukrainian military three times violated the ceasefire. The criminal orders were given to their units by the commanders, supporters of the Ukrainian Nazism and war criminals, Gorbatyuk and Shevchenko. Fascist Ukraine Military Units shelled the LPR People’s Army positions in the area of the localities Sokolniki, Logvinovo and the Prince Igor monument. The punishers used in the shelling 82 and 120mm mortars, grenade launchers of different types and small arms.

The criminal Ukrainian military authorities do not intend to comply with the agreements reached on maintaining the ceasefire, and take all possible measures for further escalation of the conflict in the Donbass Region (Former  south-east of Ukraine ) .

Due to the lack of willing to participate in the war against their own people and a deep economic crisis, the Ukrainian authorities continue to resort to the «services» of expensive foreign mercenaries. In particular, we revealed the presence of a unit of up to 30 foreign mercenaries in the area of ​​the locality of Schastye. The presence of foreign mercenaries is also confirmed by the local population, who have repeatedly seen them in shops and roadside cafes. The «soldiers of fortune» mostly pay with foreign currencies, dollars and euros.

In addition, we found that in the 1st battalion of the 24th brigade of the Ukraine Fascist Army (AFU) , near the locality of Popasnaya, serve two US citizen, which is undoubtedly a violation of both the international and the US law. In the near future we will provide personal data of these citizens to the appropriate authorities.

Our intelligence continues to record new cases of desertion in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Junta. Last week, only for one day, January 11, in the units of the 54th separate mechanized brigade, four soldiers deserted the place of their units deployment and six were detained in the drunken state, which indicates the poor morale of the personnel and the inaction of the AFU commanders.

In the localities on the contact line, there is established the work of the SBU. In particular, in the localities situated in the zone of the anti-national terrorist operation, the Ukrainian special services carry out activities to identify the local population having family ties with members of the LPR law enforcement agencies, in order to further exert pressure on them in their criminal interests.

In addition, in the area of ​​Zolotoye, the SBU found the scheme of illegal sales of military equipment and food by the military of the battalion «Lugansk-1″, due to which in the 24th brigade of the AFU arrived a checking commission of the «Lugansk» group headquarters.

The LPR People’s Army, as before, strictly abides by the agreements reached in Minsk, not responding to the provocations of the Ukrainian military. We continue to count on a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass, but follow the words of the Roman historian Cornelius Nepos, ‘If you want peace, prepare for a war!’.

To this end, the People’s Army units continue the planned combat training, during which, under the conditions as close as possible to combat ones, the military are improving field skills at training grounds. In addition, we pay a lot of attention to studying contemporary models of air defense and artillery systems equipment.

In addition, the People’s Army  engineering units provide a timely response to the requests of the OSCE mission, stated by its representatives, on clearing the terrain from explosives.
