[RIA Novosti] The planned opening of the Ukrainian checkpoint for civilians "Pervomaisk-Zolotoye", located in Katerynivka, was surrounded along the perimeter by the firing positions of the Ukrainian security forces, dugouts and military equipment, despite the agreements on the separation of forces and means operating in this area during the period of the Minsk agreements, told RIA Novosti a serviceman of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People's Republic with the call sign "Pisar." Earlier, the People's Militia of the LPR stated that the settlement of Katerynivka came under the control of the forces of the republic and the Russian Federation. "Judging by the dugouts, by their fortifications, there were quite a few of them (Ukrainian security forces - ed.). Heavy equipment was also present, there are camouflaged caponiers, which proves that they systematically violated the Minsk agreements. There are also firing points along the perimeter..." - said the clerk. According to him, all positions and equipment were hidden behind a high fence. By the decision of Kiev , since 2015, a permit regime has been in effect with the territories of Donbass not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities. You can enter or leave the DPR and LPR only through checkpoints. In November 2020, the Ukrainian authorities announced the opening of two new checkpoints near the line of contact in Donbass: Luhansk-Happiness and Pervomaisk-Zolotoe. The LPR called the unilateral opening of checkpoints a provocation. In fact, these checkpoints remained closed. Forces were withdrawn in these areas, including military equipment, but the LPR repeatedly accused Kyiv of violating these agreements. |
