You're reading: Ukraine declares tanks’ withdrawal in Luhansk region

Militants fully complied with the ceasefire regime on Oct. 6, the anti-terrorist operation press center wrote on Facebook on Oct. 7 morning.

“The truce along the frontline has allowed completing the withdrawal of tanks in Luhansk region within the first stage,” the report said.

Once the Ukrainian side has declared the relocation of a certain quantity of weapons, OSCE representatives will be verifying these reports for several days. The observers will check individual factory numbers and places where the tanks have been moved at a distance of at least 15 kilometers from the contact line.

The lull in the army operation zone makes it possible to bolster aid to Donbas residents on a daily basis, the staff said. More than 250 meters of a truck gas pipeline have been repaired between Maryinka and Krasnohorivka. High-voltage power lines are being restored in Maryinka.
