MOSCOW, May 10. /TASS/. A militia source has reported three cases of shelling of the militia positions of the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) over the past 24 hours.

Members of the Contact Group on the settlement in eastern Ukraine reached an agreement on a full ceasefire in the Donbass region for the eighth time on April 29.
