Lugansk People’s Republic engineers have demined more than seven hectares of territory next to the Khvorostyanoye and Ikovo villages in the Novopskov district over the past 24 hours, LPR People’s Militia spokesman Ivan Filiponenko said.
“LPR militia engineer units continue mine clearance in the Republic,” Filiponenko said. “On November 21, they cleared more than seven hectares of territory of the explosive hazards left by Ukrainian nationalists in the Khvorostyanoye and Ikovo settlement areas.”
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.
The Lugansk People’s Republic became a part of Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum.*i*ie
