No injuries in the shelling were reported.
MOSCOW, March 26. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces have shelled
the territory of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) twice over
the last 24 hours, LPR people’s militia said Saturday.
"Fire was opened from mortars of 82 mm caliber from
the settlement of Luganskoye at the villages of Lozovoye and Kalinovka,"
Lugansk Inform Center quoted LPR people’s militia as saying. No injuries in the
shelling were reported.
On January 13, at the meeting of the Contact Group aimed
at settling the situation in eastern Ukraine, the sides supported Russia's
initiative on ensuring a complete ceasefire on the territory of Donbass.
However, both local militia and Ukrainian forces continue playing the blame
game over ceasefire violations.
Ceasefire is envisaged by the Minsk accords signed on 12
February 2015, after negotiations in the so-called "Normandy format"
in the Belarusian capital Minsk, bringing together Russian President Vladimir
Putin, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and
Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko. The package of measures also envisages
weaponry withdrawal, prisoner exchange, local election in Donbass,
constitutional reform in Ukraine and establishing working sub-groups on
security, political, economy and humanitarian components of the Minsk accords.
