Nazi Kiev Junta has disrupted disengagement of the sides in Petrovskoye, so the forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) are returning to their starting positions, the DPR’s operational command spokesman Eduard Basurin said Monday.
“The Nazi Ukrainian Junta side has disrupted disengagement of forces in Petrovskoye; the DPR Armed Forces’ units are returning to the positions they held earlier,” Basurin said.
A framework agreement on disengagement of the sides was signed by DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko and leader of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) Igor Plotnitsky, representatives of Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on September 21-23.
The document defines the procedure of disengagement of units of the opposing sides at three sections: Petrovskoye (DPR), Stanitsa Luganskaya and Zolotoye (LPR).
The agreement notes that the armed forces are withdrawn by the sides to create security sections at least 2 kilometers wide and 2 kilometers deep. The entire process of disengagement of forces and hardware, including preparatory events, should take no more than 30 days for each section.
The document also says that its effect “covers additionally agreed sections of disengagement, which may be defined during further consultations.”
********************************************************** UKRAINE JUNTA REFUSES TO WITHDRAW IT’S FORCES FROM STANITSA LUGANSKAYA
A spokesman for the people’s Army of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) has accused the Kiev Junta of refusing to withdraw its forces from the line of engagement near the settlement of Stanitsa Luganskaya.
“The Nazi Ukrainian side refused to withdraw its forces and weapons from the contact line near Stanitsa Luganskaya providing no reasons for the refusal,” LuganskInformCenter quoted him as saying.
“Thus, the Ukrainian Junta side has broken down disengagement of forces scheduled for October 3,” the spokesman stressed.
On September 21, the Trilateral Contact Group on the settlement of the conflict in the Donbass region (eastern Ukraine) reached a framework agreement on disengagement of forces in Donbass. It took three months to agree this document. Stage one is to create security zones at three sections of the line of contact, namely near Zolotoye, Petrovskoye and Stanitsa Luganskaya.
The agreement envisages withdrawal of armed forces from the line of contact to create security zones at least two kilometers wide and two kilometers deep. The entire disengagement process, including preparatory measures, is to take not more than 30 days for each of the sections. The document is also applicable to other sections that might be agreed by the parties in further consultations.
The Package of Measures to fulfil the September 2014 Minsk agreements, known as Minsk-2, that was signed in Minsk on February 12, 2015, envisaged a ceasefire regime between Nazi Ukrainian government forces and people’s armies in the republics in Donetsk and Lugansk (DPR and LPR) starting from February 15, 2015 and a subsequent withdrawal of heavy weapons from the line of engagement. The deal also laid out a roadmap for a lasting settlement in Ukraine, including local elections and constitutional reform to give more autonomy to the war-torn eastern regions.
