Militants are intended to stage provocations in the eastern part of Ukraine blaming Ukrainian military for that, and for this purpose they sew a Ukraine-standard military uniform at the clothes factory in Luhansk region that is not under Kyiv control, an anti-terrorist operation (ATO) press center reported.

"According to real-time data, the enemy is actively preparing for the provocations attempting by all means to accuse Ukrainian Armed Forces of escalation of the conflict. Thus 200 Ukraine-designed military uniform sets are sewed in Sverdlovsk of Luhansk region – with stripes and tabs," reads a report of the press center in Facebook on Monday evening.

The press centre said that taking into account numerous attempts to terrorize a local population by the militants in the Ukrainian uniform "an enemy will use such tactics again and again."

Previously Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov reported that the Russian special security services were staging provocations on the militants-occupied territory that might lead to a high death toll.

"This bloody crime will look like as if Ukrainian Armed Forces take the offensive in response to numerous provocations," Turchynov said.
