Amnesty for “ATO" punitive forces
Poroshenko has signed a decree entitled "On the 2016 Amnesty” which grants amnesty to convicted fighters of the so-called “Anti-Terrorist Operation Zone” in Donbass, freeing them of accountability on the grounds that they “have not committed any serious crimes.” This resolution was announced by the President of Ukraine after meeting with churches leaders and Heroes of Ukraine on September 2nd, 2017.
The law on amnesty was adopted in 2016, but Poroshenko refused to sign and enact it for almost a whole year. Now the situation has changed dramatically. At the moment, opposing forces in Ukraine leadership headed by Turchynov and Avakov with the support of Tymoshenko are clearly preparing to remove Poroshenko from power. As they intend to use ATO veterans as the foot soldiers for a new Maidan or a coup, Poroshenko is forced to lend the Nazis a hand, appeasing them and releasing them from prison sentences for crimes committed in Donbass.
This move will only encourage the feeling of permissiveness and impunity for those punitive forces who continue to commit crimes against civilians in the "ATO" zone, reports of which come in every day. At the same time, official Kiev authorities are flatly refusing to apply the general amnesty provided for by the Minsk Agreements to Donbass militiamen, instead insisting that the issue should be decided on an individual case basis.
Ukrainian saboteurs lure LPR servicemen into mine traps
Three servicemen of the People's Militia of the Lugansk People’s Republic were killed and another one was wounded as a result of a mine explosion during the extinguishing of a fire. This trap was organized by Kiev saboteurs near the village of Sokolniki (Slavyano-Serbsk region), as has been reported by the official spokesman of the Ministry of Defense of the LPR, Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko.
"On September 4th, the enemy mined a field near the village of Sokolniki. Afterwards, in order to attract servicemen of the People's Militia to the mined area, they set fire to dry grass. During the extinguishing of the fire, the mine exploded," Marochko added.
