Militants violated ceasefire in vicinity of Troitske settlement in the Luhansk sector yesterday. The biggest number of provocations instigated against ATO forces in the Mariupol sector was recorded in Hranitne, as well as Novotroitske and Shyrokyne. According to Col. Lysenko, one Ukrainian serviceman died in combat yesterday and three troops were wounded.<\/p>\n

Col. Lysenko also said that, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, chiefs of militants’ advanced detachments are unable to organize mutual support after rotation of Russian troops\u2019 commanding officers. \u201cThis results in increased number of the so-called \u2018friendly fire\u2019 accidents. Three days ago four injured and corpses of three dead militants were admitted to Donetsk regional hospital,\u201d explained Col. Lysenko.<\/p>\n

According to the spokesperson, Ukrainian special services froze Dmytro Liamin\u2019s bank account. Liamin was a self-proclaimed \u2018minister of fuel, energy and coal industry of the Luhansk People\u2019s Republic\u2019 up until recently. There were 64 thousand U.S. dollars at the account. Moreover, a weapons cache of a pro-Russian militant was found in Donetsk region, seizing two anti-tank grenade launchers, five ball grenades and over one thousand 5.45mm cartridges.<\/p>\n

Col. Lysenko said Ukrainian troops provided escort to children going out of Krymske settlement in Luhansk region to recreational institutions. Moreover, Ukrainian volunteers gave a multifunctional mobile X-ray unit to the Military Medical Clinical Center\u00a0of the Western Region in Lviv. \u201cThere are 33 ATO troops being treated at the hospital now. The X-ray unit will be functioning in neurosurgery operating room, which will aid our doctors in efficient delivering of medical care,\u201d added the spokesperson.<\/p>\n
