The withdrawal of military hardware of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) from the contact line in the conflict zone in Donbass will be conducted in two stages the first of which will begin on October 3, deputy chief of staff of the LPR People’s Militia corps Colonel Igor Yashchenko told a briefing at the LuganskInformCenter on Thursday.
“The hardware withdrawal will be organized in two stages in the period from October 3 to 17 — the first stage, and from October 18 to November 10 — the second stage,” Yashchenko said.
He added that in accordance with the corresponding document, the hardware will be pulled out at a distance of 15 kilometers from the contact line.
“However, our side is withdrawing from the contact line that existed on September 19, 2014 and the Ukrainian side is withdrawing from the current contact line. So there will be areas in which the security zone will be more than 30 km wide,” Yashchenko said.
“It’s the final stage of the hardware withdrawal measures within the framework of the Minsk agreements that will ensure peace and security for our citizens,” he said.
According to Yashchenko, LPR intends to strictly comply with all the assumed obligations.
“Our side will comply without fail — we have always complied with all the agreements signed by our political leadership,” he said.
