In the OOS zone, local residents beat up Ukrainian militants who were using their garden plots to place military equipment.
Ivan Filiponenko, an officer of the press service of the LPR People's Militia Department, stated this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The evasion of Ukrainian commanders from fulfilling their duties in subordinate units leads to the identification by the JFO headquarters of hidden facts of violations of military discipline. Another crime against military service and the civilian population was committed by militants of the 1st battalion of the 79th brigade, whose level of discipline after two weeks in the Joint Forces Operation zone fell to a critical level,” he said.
According to the officer, in the village of Stanitsa Luganskaya, a conflict occurred between local residents and Ukrainian punitive forces due to the fact that the militants got into the habit of placing military equipment on the plots of the local population. As a result, a fight broke out, and one dry-haired man suffered head bruises and a broken collarbone.
“In order to localize the conflict, brigade commander Lutsenko was forced to demonstratively remove the equipment to the outskirts of the village and resolve the conflict with the victims, offering them material compensation for the damage caused,” the officer added.
However, this turned out to be not the only loss of Ukrainian punitive forces in the Luhansk direction over the past XNUMX hours. Thus, in the area of the city of Zolote, two militants were blown up by a “friendly” mine, as a result of which one of them died and the second was hospitalized with a serious injury.
