On June 24, from
4 to 6 o’clock there took place clashes and bombardment of roadblocks and
strongholds on the state border line in the area of Biriukovo
and Dyakove of Luhansk region. The borderguards were attacked with use of small arms and
weapons as well as mortar fire. There were not fixed losses from the side of
border officers. The State Border
Service ascertains the presence in the border area of illegal armed groups
and movement of military equipment and subdivisions of the Armed Forces of
Russia in the vicinity of Ukrainian border. Despite the fact
that the international border checkpoint Izvaryne
of Luhansk region was temporarily closed by the Government of Ukraine, the
terrorists backed by the Russian side carry out the admission of persons
through the border. In this connection protection of the border line is
intensified by the checkpoints of the AFU and the State Border Service which were
deployed several kilometres afar from the border crossing point targeting to exercise
control. Besides, patrol
aircrafts of the State Border Service conducted examination of surface
conditions in the exclusive (maritime) economic zone of Ukraine on the area
of 5670 square kilometres. Moreover, there was held monitoring of the
situation on the border section in Sumy and Chernihiv
regions. The examination didn’t reveal any violations of navigation regime
and illegal border crossing in the mentioned directions. |
