The LPR accused Kiev of increasing the number of shelling in the Donbass

RIA Novosti reports.

“Traditionally, on the eve of the talks of the trilateral contact group on the settlement of the conflict, the command of the Joint Forces Operation (JF) is stepping up shelling of the territory of our republic, trying to destabilize the situation on the line of contact,” he said.

Filiponenko added that over the past day, the Ukrainian military fired at the territory of the LPR five times.

It is noted that the next meeting of the contact group is scheduled for March 3.

Earlier, the LPR accused the Armed Forces of deploying equipment near the disengagement area.
