Systematic shelling by militants does not allow to carry out the disengagement of forces and means in Stanytsia Luhanska (Luhansk region), Darka Olifer, a spokesperson for Leonid Kuchma, Ukraine's envoy to the Trilateral Contact Group, said following the group's meeting in Minsk.

"Donbas continues to be shelled; violations of the cease fire regime on the part of the ORDLO (separate areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions) are systematic. Ukraine is ready for the disengagement of forces and means in Stanytsia Luhanska, which can take place only after seven days of the cease fire regime, as stipulated in the framework decision of the Trilateral Contact Group. The last shelling took place there on March 13, 2017, so the actions of the ORDLO do not yet allow the disengagement at this site," Olifer wrote on her Facebook page on Wednesday.
