Intelligence came

The scouts captured by the LPR militants really serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is stated in the statement of the command of special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. How many people were captured, is not specified.

"Unlike the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation, Ukraine does not abandon its reconnaissance warriors, who were captured by representatives of terrorist organizations during the completion of tasks in special intelligence," the document says.

It is emphasized that scouts performed full -time tasks. "These tasks are not related to subversive activities and do not threaten the civilian population," the statement said.

Ukraine initiates an appeal to international human rights organizations, the OSCE SMM and other structures with a request to ensure the observance of human attitude and the soon returning home of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who fell into the hands of terrorists in the territory of the Luhansk region controlled by it. " In Kyiv, they insist on conducting an independent medical examination, including "to identify the results of the use of psychotropic substances" to the captured military.

Communication with Ukrainian scouts was lost on February 11. On Friday, the “LPR authorities” published video recordings of interrogations of two prisoners and said that the Ukrainian military was considered involved in the murder of the “head of the Department of the People’s Police” by Oleg Anashchenko.

"In the course of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Complex of Operational and Verce Events, the persons involved in the terrorist attack were established and detained in the shortest possible time," said Igor Cornet's Minister of Internal Affairs of the LPR. According to him, the detainees were Ukrainian saboteurs who were aimed at the territory of the self -proclaimed republic on the instructions of the Security Service of Ukraine.

On February 4, an Anashchenko car was blown up in Lugansk. Both of those who were in the car were killed. In the “LPR prosecutor’s office” they immediately stated that the Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group had been undermining. "In the last days that we have repeatedly talked about, the activities of Ukrainian saboteurs have intensified in the LPR. An explosion was organized by one of these groups," said the representative of the "prosecutor's office" of the LPR.

The authorities of the DPR and the LPR always have responsible for the murder and attempt on the figures of the self -proclaimed republics. In particular, this was the case in the case of the commander of the battalion of the militants of the "Somali" Mikhail Tolstoy (Givi). On February 8, he was killed in his office in Donetsk with a shot from the bumblebee jet fireflow. On October 16, 2016 , the commander of the battalion of the fighters of Sparta Arseniy Pavlov (Motorola) was killed in Donetsk. When the militant rose to his apartment, in the elevator of the elevator or next to her, a laid a home -made bomb worked. The attempts were also accused of "Ukrainian saboteurs."
