Kiev forces violated the ceasefire in the responsibility zone of the Lugansk People’s Republic 15 times over the past week, LPR People’s Militia spokesman Ivan Filiponenko said at a press briefing.

“Over the past week, Ukrainian armed formations violated the ceasefire 15 times,” Filiponenko said, adding that that strikes targeted nine townships.

On October 2, Kiev forces used UAVs to drop eight improvised explosive devices on a pumping station in Slavyanoserbsk, cutting power supply and water to thousands of customers.
LPR finished the repairs on October 5.
Ukrainian army attempted a similar attack on Zolotoye-5, this time the operation was curbed by the LPR Defense.

The members of the Contact Group have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn in accordance with the Minsk agreements.

The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. Conflict settlement relies on the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements, signed on February 12, 2015 in the Belarussian capital by the Contact Group members and coordinated by the Normandy Four heads of states (Russia, Germany, France and Ukraine). The document provides for ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons from the contact line. *t
