The situation in Ukraine’s struggling Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, which for more than two months have had parts of their territory controlled by groups of Russia-backed armed separatists is likely to turn from bad to worse, as early in the morning on May 24 seven vehicles with armed people inside illegally managed to cross Ukrainian border in Donetsk region, the press-service of Ukraine’s border guard service says.
Evhen Perebiynis, the foreign ministry’s spokesman says that five trucks and two cars with armed people inside crossed the border using side roads not far from Dibrivka border checkpoint.
The Ministry says that despite multiple affirmations of Russian side that Russian Federation does not support terrorist groups in eastern Ukraine “Russian forces keep destabilizing the situation in the country’s East,” the report reads.
“Russia’s main task is to disrupt Ukrainian presidential elections by threatening and killing local people, capturing hostages and enabling the work of local election commissions,” it adds.
