Disengagement near Stanytsia Luhanska frozen due to continuing attacks on Ukrainian army positions
The Ukrainian military is ready to withdraw its forces and equipment from the site in the Stanytsia Luhanska area determined by the Trilateral Contact Group, but the enemy is not fulfilling the conditions needed for the withdrawal, Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Lysenko said.
"Ukraine is fulfilling its obligations. As far as we are concerned, everything is ready, the routes and sites for withdrawal of forces and equipment are ready. But the withdrawal process is frozen because the enemy regularly breaches the ceasefire regime, attacks are going on," he told a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
Lysenko also said the enemy is not clearing Donbas of mines because "they have placed a lot of mines, but they did not mark them on maps."
This is hurting both local residents and the enemy's troops, he said.
