People's militia self-proclaimed Luhansk People's the republic informed about the abduction of its employee by Ukrainian saboteurs. This is stated in his statement by the official representative of the department Ivan Filiponenko.
“On December 27, a Ukrainian sabotage group abducted special operations forces in violation of the current agreements of the People's Militia soldier of the People's Republic of Lugano,” the publication states on the People's Militia website.
It should be noted that there were traces of fighting and blood at the place where the soldier was abducted. The department is convinced that physical violence is currently being used against employees in order to force them to testify. Filipnonenko recalled that Ukraine's special services had previously abducted another LPR soldier as well as observers from the republic at the Andrey Kosjak Ceasefire Joint Control and Coordination Center. A representative of the department noted that the incidents were the result of OSCE inaction and a lack of response to Ukraine's violations. He called on international mission observers to respond to the abduction of the fighter and to make every effort to release him.
