A framework agreement on disengagement of the sides was
signed by militia leaders and representatives of OSCE, Russia and Ukraine on
September 21-23.
DONETSK, October 3. /TASS/. Kiev has disrupted disengagement of the sides in Petrovskoye, so the forces of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) are returning to their starting positions, the DPR’s operational command spokesman Eduard Basurin said Monday.
"The Ukrainian side has disrupted disengagement of
forces in Petrovskoye; the DPR Armed Forces’ units are returning to the
positions they held earlier," Basurin said.
A framework agreement on disengagement of the sides was
signed by DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko and leader of the Lugansk People’s
Republic (LPR) Igor Plotnitsky, representatives of Ukraine, Russia and the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on September 21-23.
The document defines the procedure of disengagement of
units of the opposing sides at three sections: Petrovskoye (DPR), Stanitsa
Luganskaya and Zolotoye (LPR).
The agreement notes that the armed forces are withdrawn
by the sides to create security sections at least 2 kilometers wide and 2
kilometers deep. The entire process of disengagement of forces and hardware,
including preparatory events, should take no more than 30 days for each
section.
The document also says that its effect "covers
additionally agreed sections of disengagement, which may be defined during
further consultations."
