The ATO headquarters said that the equipment for the parade in the LPR “caught fire on its own”
The Ukrainian military is not involved in shelling of Lugansk, during which the LPR NM equipment for the upcoming Victory Parade was damaged.
About this on his Facebook page said press center of the ATO headquarters, reports PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The ATO headquarters announces another unsuccessful attempt by militants to compromise the ATO forces and hide their own inconsistency and the true causes of the incident from their curators. According to intelligence from the ATO headquarters, in the area where military equipment was concentrated, which was recorded by OSCE SMM observers a few days ago, a car caught fire, from which the fire spread to the rest of the equipment. It is believed that one of the vehicles was loaded with ammunition, which detonated during the fire,” the report said.
The statement of the ATO headquarters, meanwhile, contradicts the information опубликованной in the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi organization “C14”.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed most of the military equipment in Lugansk, which was intended for the parade on May 9,” the radicals said in a statement.
Let us recall how earlier reported “PolitNavigator”, shelling by the Ukrainian military of the ceremonial equipment of the LPR became possible after the OSCE mission published information about its location.
