According to RIA Novosti, Aigisov claims that the Armed Forces of Ukraine simulated mortar shelling in the area of ​​the settlement of Novoluganskoye, which is under the control of Kiev, as a result of which one Ukrainian explosive fighter was wounded.

“In order to conceal violations of security requirements by a wounded fighter during such“ theater performances ”, the headquarters of the invaders reported mortar shelling from our side,” he said.

The representative of the DPR clarified that the explosions of ammunition near the contact line are made to simulate militia attacks by the Ukrainian media that arrived in Donbass.

On July 17, members of the Donbass contact group agreed on a new indefinite truce, which began on the 21st.

Ukrainian political scientist Vadim Karasev in an interview with the NSN assessed the likelihood of progress in the Minsk process from Kiev.
