“While the Lugansk People’s Republic was conducting mine clearance at the site of the separation of forces and assets near the Village of Lugansk, the Ukrainian invaders intensified the chaotic mining of territories near the settlements of Happiness and Zolotoye,” RIA Novosti quoted as saying.

At the same time, he noted that the Ukrainian security forces “do not establish signs of mine danger and do not even draw up detailed maps of minefields, as a result of which the militants of the VFU (Ukrainian armed forces) are regularly blown up on their own mines”.

Earlier in the self-proclaimed DNI, they said that Ukrainian security forces deployed military equipment near the Donetsk filter station.
