[RIA Novosti] The Ukrainian military mined containers with hazardous chemicals at the rare gases plant in Lysychansk in order to carry out a provocation and accuse Russia of indiscriminate shelling, Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center, said.
"In Lisichansk, Luhansk People's Republic, in the building and hangars of a rare gas plant, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine placed cannon artillery and MLRS, mined containers with chemically hazardous substances, and employees of the plant and local residents are forcibly detained in underground structures.
At the same time, nationalists systematically fire from MLRS positions of the Armed Forces Russia and the formations of the Lugansk People's Republic , thereby provoking them to retaliate in order to further accuse them of killing civilians and creating a man-made disaster in the city," he said.

The general also spoke about another upcoming action: according to him, in Putivl, Sumy region , Ukrainian neo-Nazis mined bridges across the Seim and Lyubka rivers, which they plan to blow up and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of supposedly indiscriminate strikes on vital civilian infrastructure facilities.
Mizintsev stressed that such facts once again demonstrate the complete disregard of the Ukrainian authorities for the norms of morality and the provisions of international humanitarian law.
