The LPR official has
warned about the risk of crossing the contact line.
LUGANSK, September
29. /TASS/. Ukraine’s authorities have tightened the rules of crossing the
contact line in Donbass, a spokesperson for the self-proclaimed Lugansk
People’s Republic in the Contact Group’s humanitarian subgroup and head of a
working group on a prisoner swap Olga Kobtseva said on Sunday.
"Before crossing
the contact line, the LPR’s citizens should familiarize themselves with the
latest changes in Ukraine’s legislation and take a well-considered decision in
order not to put themselves and their relatives in jeopardy," Kobtseva
said, according to the LuganskInformCenter.
Starting from October
29, 2019, the citizens of Donbass, who are under 16 years of age, won’t be able
to cross the contact line upon their birth certificate. The new rules were
introduced by the Ukrainian cabinet in mid-July, she explained.
The LPR official has
warned about the risk of crossing the contact line, stressing that the
Ukrainian side could use any pretext for detaining Donbass citizens in order to
bring far-fetched accusations against them.
According to
Kobtseva, the tightened rules of crossing the contact line are part and parcel
of the so-called Zelensky formula on resolving the conflict in Donbass.
"There is only point of the Zelensky formula is to ensure that everyone
around talks about the Zelensky formula. Maximum noise and minimum content,"
she emphasized.
