Ukraine Junta Military Stalling On Disengagement, The Pullback Of It’s Nazi Forces From Stanitsa Luganskaya

LPR People’s Army has not received any confirmation from the Ukranian Junta  side of its readiness to start the disengagement of forces and military hardware in Stanitsa Luganskaya area.

“LPR People’s Army has not received yet any confirmation from the Ukranian Junta side of their readiness to start the disengagement in Stanitsa Luganskaya area on October, 3d,” People’s Army representative major Andrey Marochko told Lugansk Media Center today referring to some mass media claims that the disengagement was rescheduled for tomorrow.

He reiterated the LPR is completely ready to start the disengagement and is waiting for Ukraine’s decision.

On Saturday, October 1^st, just before the disengagement was to begin in accordance with the Framework Agreement, Ukraine’s reps reported via the JCCC their unpreparedness to pullback troops in Stanitsa Luganskaya area.

During the disengagement in the second zone – Zolotoye village – Ukranian reps were not available on the phone, and the communication was reestablished via JCCC. As the result, a signal for pullback was given after a five-minute delay.

Earlier Marochko reported that LPR militia has finalized preparations for the disengagement and waits for the Ukranian side to “fulfill assumed responsibilities and obligations in its turn.” He reminded that the forces are to be withdrawn “simultaneously and symmetrically.”

LPR and DPR representatives at a meeting in Minsk on September, 21 initialed a framework agreement on partial pullback of forces in Donbass, that was also signed by representatives of Ukraine, Russia and OSCE. The document provides for three disengagement areas around Zolotoye, Stanitsa Lugaskaya and Petrovskoe (DPR territory). Heads of LPR and DPR Igor Plotnitskiy and Aleksandr Zakharchenko signed the agreement on September 22 and 23, respectively.
