Ukrainian security forces fired on the territory of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic three times a day, RIA Novosti was told at the LPR office in the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime (JCCC).
Earlier, the LPR stated that on January 12, the Ukrainian security forces also opened fire three times on the territory of the republic.
“Over the past 24 hours, three violations of the ceasefire regime have been recorded by the armed formations of Ukraine,” said an officer of the LPR representation in the JCCC.
According to him, the Ukrainian security forces opened fire on the republic-controlled village of Krasny Yar and the village of Zholobok from infantry fighting vehicles, 120-mm mortars, grenade launchers and small arms.
In the summer of 2020, additional ceasefire measures came into force in Donbass. They imply a complete ban on firing, placing weapons in and near populated areas, offensive and reconnaissance and sabotage operations. In addition, they provide for disciplinary liability for violation of the ceasefire regime. Ceasefire orders, containing measures to maintain it, must remain in effect until the conflict is fully resolved.
