MOSCOW, May 5. /TASS/. Kiev-controlled law enforces have violated the ceasefire regime on the contact line with the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) at least 115 times since the armistice in eastern Ukraine began, the press center of the LPR militia said on Tuesday.
"A total of 115 violations of ceasefire by Kiev-controlled units have been registered since the beginning of ceasefire," the LuganskInformTsentr news agency quotes the LPR People’s Militia’s statement as saying.
Two violations were registered on May 4, and one on May 5. "The shelling was carried out with the use of an AGS automatic grenade launcher and a 82-mm calibre mortar launcher," the LPR People's Militia said.
The ceasefire regime in the Donbas region formally came into force on February 15. The demand to halt the hostilities was envisaged by the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements adopted on February 12.
