The situation in the area of the People's Militia responsibility has not changed significantly over the past day and is characterized as stably tense and keeps a tendency to aggravation and escalation of the conflict in Donbass.
Though there was not registered any facts of shellings by the AFU today, but the Ukrainian gunmen continue the provocations directed to failure of the peaceful settlement of the conflict. There is continued the AFU's forces and means build-up along the line of contact.
The LPR People's Militia intelligence registered the movement of seven units of howitzers D-30 in the direction of the locality of Petrovka of the Stanitsa Luganskaya district the day before. The units of the nationalist Crimean Tatar battalion 'Crimea' consisting of members of the Turkish organization 'Grey Wolves' came to the locality of Stanitsa Luganskaya for the strengthening of the checkpoints during holidays. For the accommodation of this unit's military staff there were evicted several families from their own houses down the Lomonosovav Street of the locality of Stanitsa Luganskaya.
These facts once again confirm that the Ukrainian government doesn't intend to solve the long-running conflict in a peaceful way, and continues conducting aggressive and violent policy against the citizens living on the line of contact of the parties.
In turn, on behalf of the People's Militia command, I want to congratulate all citizens of the republic on 71 anniversaries of the Soviet people Victory in the Great Patriotic War against the German-fascist invaders and to wish peace and happiness for everyone!
