Ukrainian forces mined railways facilities

Kiev, (ST) –   RIA Novosti Agency reported that the Ukrainian forces, while withdrawing from the population centers in Donbass, booby-trapped and mined the railways and the intersection stations of these railways, as well as the roads adjacent to them, with the aim of preventing the advance of the forces of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.

The agency stated that the engineering elements of the Luhansk forces are currently working on removing the mines that the Ukrainian forces have planted on the railway leading to Slaviansk on the border between Luhansk People’s Republic and Kharkov Province. The Ukrainian army, while withdrawing, destroyed some parts of the railway and booby-trapped some places and disguised it. Many unexploded anti-armor shells and mines were found in the area.

A source in the Russian Security Service Body announced that the body revealed the activities of a closed conversation network of the Ukrainian intelligence in the territories from which Kiev forces withdrew to direct the bombing on the Russian military.

The source pointed out that “in small cities such as Novaya Kakhovka, which were liberated from the Ukrainian forces, security personnel directly recruited agents from social networks,  where the Ukrainian intelligence cared for the active users who wrote emotionally about Ukraine, and then received a message on social media inviting them to cooperate to create a spy network.”

Confessions of one of the detainees participants in these activities revealed that the work of the group members being recruited was about collecting intelligence information on the movements of the Russian forces units, the Donetsk Republic and the locations of the individuals that were subjected to artillery and missile shelling. He said that, the representatives of the neo-Nazi “Right Sector” organization often act as responsible for such groups.

A member of the Ukraine parliament, Marianna Bezuglaya, submitted a legal project suggesting allowing Ukrainian officers to kill soldiers that evade service or refuse to obey orders.
