\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week the situation in the combat zone tended to stabilize and stayed fully controlled by the Joint Forces. Russia-backed militants decreased the number of attacks though not ceasing them completely for the time of the so-called \u201cschool-time\u201d ceasefire. Russia\u2019s proxies were firing upon the Joint Forces\u2019 positions in the area of Stanytsia Luhanska, Krymske, Novotoshkivske, Troitske, Svitlodarsk, Pivdenne, Novhorodske, Novomykhailivka, Pavlopil, Hnutove, Talakivka, Lebedynske and Vodiane. At the Horlivka direction militants used mortars in the area of Novhorodske.<\/p>\n

YouTube blocked the livestream of the Russian TV channel \u201cTsargorod\u201d and of the separatist channel \u201cOplot TV\u201d of the funeral of Donetsk militant leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko. According to \u201cNovosti Donbassa\u201d news web site the message on the livestream was saying that it was blocked at the request of the Universal Music Group (UMG).<\/p>\n

Last goodbyes to Zakharchenko were paid on September 2 at the Donetsk Opera and Ballet Theatre. Public sector employees and students were brought by the \u201cDPR\u201d to attend Zakharchenko\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

Russian media reported that suspects who had attempted the life of Zakharchenko were arrested in Donetsk<\/a>. They said the detained were \u201cUkrainian subversives and the persons linked to them.\u201d Acting \u201cDPR\u201d head Dmytro Trapeznikov said<\/a>\u00a0that the suspects in Zakharchenko\u2019s murder had confirmed Ukraine\u2019s involvement in the incident.<\/p>\n
