The Lugansk People’s Republic (LNR) government declared a state of emergency as junta forces began shelling the city, turning on civil defence alarms. At the moment, junta forces are shelling the village of Metallist. No information about casualties is available.
******
Late on Monday, a opolchenie source told ITAR-TASS about the latest shelling in Kramatorsk, “Ten civilians are dead, and more than ten more injured, the enemy shelling seriously damaged the driver training centre, and concussion smashed windows in nearby houses. The shelling damaged a transformer substation, and a tuberculosis dispensary and a food warehouse came under fire as well”.
******
At a news conference at ITAR-TASS on Tuesday, Denis Pushilin, Chairman of the Presidium of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Supreme Soviet, said, “The DNR has adopted a course towards liberating the people from the Kiev junta’s armed gangs”. He outlined practical moves to normalise the situation, which local authorities would implement after the end of hostilities. He said that the republic would form a close alliance with the LNR and coöperate with international bodies in the post-Soviet space. Pushilin said, “Many DNR and LNR ministries would operate jointly, as we’ve signed a union treaty and have similar action programmes. We’re looking to Russia, the TS EvrAsES and the Eurasian Economic Community. We’ll handle problems when the genocide is over”.
He identified the main tasks as industrial resurgence and restoration of abandoned oligarch-stolen production facilities. Pushilin emphasised that the DNR would raise wages and welfare payments by nationalising companies that refused to recognise the DNR. In 2013, the then-Donetsk Oblast transferred about 14 billion gryvnias (41.2 billion Roubles. 1.19 billion USD. 1.3 billion CAD. 1.28 billion AUD. 878 million Euros. 703 million UK Pounds) to Kiev, of which just half returned. Pushilin said, “Huge (money) flows went into pockets of unscrupulous people. At present, talks with Kiev are out of the question. We’ve learnt from sad experience that when they negotiate a ceasefire, they violate it and continue to fire on us”.
The DNR intends to respond with reinforced checkpoints, new armed units, and warning strikes by miners. Pushilin said that Kiev’s statement about humanitarian corridors was “a downright lie”, because buses with white flags carrying children, women, and old people came under fire shortly afterwards. He called for bringing in a peacekeeping contingent to the zone of the junta’s repression operation to create humanitarian corridors. When asked about casualty figures, Pushilin noted that no precise information was available because people died and went missing every day. He said the junta concealed huge losses amongst their forces.
Editor:
As the main force available to the junta is the so-called “National Guard” (sic), an untrained and unmilitary rabble of Euromaidan Galician Uniate terrorists, it stands to reason that losses were similar to those of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Iran-Iraq War. That is, casualties are far higher than those claimed, as the fighting has been in built-up areas, not in open countryside. Look at the good side of it… the Galician Uniate fanatics are dying in Novorossiya. That may well hasten the fall of the junta. Also note that the oligarchs milked Novorossiya, as did the Galician Uniate hillbillies (their dirt-poor backwoods region in the sticks didn’t have the resources to fund some of their more noisome projects). Now, the cash cow is GONE. It’s why they’re trying so hard to seize it… without Novorossiya, the “Ukraine” is an economic basket case worse than Greece is.

Igor Kornelyuk, a VGTRK correspondent, injured during the shelling of Mirny, near Lugansk, died in hospital. Meanwhile, his colleague is missing. VGTRK confirmed the death of Kornelyuk as a result of an injury sustained near Lugansk. The LNR media centre told Interfax that Anton Voloshin, a VGTRK sound operator, went missing following a mortar attack in Metallist near Lugansk. “We’ll consider [Voloshin] missing until we find his body or until he’s found alive. It’s impossible to get [to Metallist], there’s heavy mortar fire going on there. The VGTRK operator managed to leave because he was filming everything from some distance”. On Tuesday, a VGTRK spokesperson told Interfax, “We’ve just confirmed Igor’s death in hospital in Lugansk. The fate of the TV crew’s sound operator, Anton Voloshin, is still unknown; now, we consider him to be missing”. Earlier, the deputy chief doctor at the Lugansk regional hospital, Sergei Babenko, told Interfax about Kornelyuk’s death. Vladimir Inogorodskikh, the head of the LNR media centre, said earlier on Tuesday, “A mortar attack in Mirny wounded a VGTRK correspondent”.

On Tuesday, Aleksandr Borodai, the Chairman of the DNR Government, said at a meeting of the Russian Federation Council’s provisional commission for Ukraine situation monitoring, “The situation is close to a humanitarian catastrophe. We’re facing a critical situation, close to a humanitarian catastrophe. There are serious problems with water supplies. As a matter of fact, many towns and villages are already in a state of humanitarian catastrophe. That’s true of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. The junta is trying to crush the will of the people in the Donbass. They want to crush our will for self-determination, our aspiration to unite with Russia. We’re grateful to Russia for the humanitarian aid that you’ve sent to us. We’re grateful for any assistance and support. We’re looking forward to it. We hope that this aid won’t stop. For, with it, we’ll be able to defeat the invader.
For his part, Oleg Tsaryov, a co-chairman of the People’s Front social and political movement, who also attended the meeting, said, “This war will not stop in Donetsk and Lugansk. The ‘[National] Guard’ is able to mobilise up to 500,000 people; today, they’re randomly seizing people, even in the central Ukraine, threatening to arrest them and put them in prison. I’m aware of several dozen situations where the ‘National Guard’ (sic) killed soldiers who refused to fight against their own people. This conveyor of death will keep rolling, and the situation is fraught with widespread war, which will play into Kiev’s hands amidst the deteriorating economic situation. We need to be prepared for that”.
Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vitaly Churkin stated after Valerie Amos, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Coordination, held a closed-door briefing on Ukraine at the UN Security Council, “Moscow found ways to deliver humanitarian aid to people in [Novorossiya] without going through Kiev. We tried to work it out with the Ukrainian authorities; we sent them an official note in late May. They replied negatively in an official note. We found means to deliver humanitarian assistance to people in need. People are coming across the border, taking humanitarian assistance and bringing it home”. The MID posted his speech on its official Facebook page. As to whether the UN or third countries could use the same technique to deliver humanitarian aid to Syria, Churkin said, “They could, but the people who could conceivably have done it keep asking questions”.
Editor:
Tsaryov’s figure isn’t fantasy… it’s the number of fanatic military-age Uniate and schismatic men in the country. However, even though such a large group would be violent, brutal, and thuggish, it’d lack training and cohesion, and it’d be militarily useless against even the opolchenie. However, it COULD re-enact a Rwandan Massacre in the Ukraine. You don’t need training to brutalise the helpless, sadly enough. I’d ask all my readers to notice the silence of the Uniate hierarchy on the enormities committed by Uniate terrorists. I’d mention that the so-called “Ukrainian Orthodox” in the diaspora are similarly silent. They’re not fit company for decent folk, I’d say…

Interfax reported that Sergei Donich, Republic of the Crimea Deputy Chairman of the Government, said, “People arriving in the Crimea from the war zone are staying in 33 shelters, health resorts, children’s and tourist camps. Over 2,000 children and almost 1,700 accompanying adults are staying at Crimean health resorts, with assistance from the Republic of Crimea Council of Ministers. The total number of people who fled to the Crimea because of the Ukrainian situation is much larger. We held a conference yesterday. Someone said that over 5,000 people needed temporary asylum. Therefore, we decided to grant free accommodation to residents of the conflict-ridden regions”.

EU Ambassador to the Ukraine Jan Tombinski said that the Kiev junta wasted tens of millions of euros allocated earlier by the EU for bolstering border security. On Tuesday, Tombinski said at a forum titled From Revolution to a New Country in Kiev, “With regard to the border with Russia, we, the EU, provided tens of millions of euros to help Ukrainian border guards. What did we get? Ukrainian border guards are asking for money to buy things. Where did the EU money go? The Ukraine needs to sort out its corruption and introduce transparency, given the wasteful use of these funds”.
Editor:
The money went to Poroshenko, Yatsenyuk, Turchinov, Darlin’ Yuliya, and their underlings… they’re WORSE than V F Yanukovich ever was. The Maidan gave birth to an amoral greedster junta that makes Yanukovich look utterly impeccable and spotless! I dare any of you to attack V F Yanukovich now. In an imperfect world, he was the best choice. He was the least dishonest of the available lot… and that’s good enough for me (he was less dishonest than Rick Perry or Sarah Palin are, for instance). Perfection wasn’t on offer… it never is.

On Tuesday Svetlana Rybalko, a spokesman for the State Emergency Situations Service, told Interfax that an explosion on the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline in Poltava Oblast was caused by a loss of pressure. She said, “Specialists found that a loss of pressure occurred. At this moment, the main gas authority is doing repair work, they’re closing the caps to stop gas flow. Eleven emergency vehicles and 46 rescuers are working at the scene, but populated areas weren’t cut off from gas supply”. Meanwhile, a law enforcement source told Interfax that the gas pipeline explosion (in Pestichevskoy (Lokhvitsa Raion), Poltava Oblast) might have been sabotage, saying, “The area covered by the fire is nearly one kilometre. The preliminary theory is sabotage”. In a statement, Ukrtransgas said, “The explosion won’t affect gas transportation to Europe”.

They organised a safari there. Witnesses, who escaped from there, said that atrocities, shootings, are under way there, and the ‘National Guard’ (sic) perpetrates them. Unfortunately, we can’t take away our dead. We’ve tried to negotiate several times, but they shot at our negotiators. About 11 dead bodies laid in the street for a few days”.

The Slavyansk Gorkom informed RIA-Novosti that junta shelling continues, causing civilian casualties, saying, “The shelling started at night, and continued during the day”. Three civilians died in Vostochny on the outskirts of Slavyansk, Raisa Gulak (72), and a married couple, Vladimir and Olga Chernikov. The Gorkom said that shelling wounded two opolchenie and five civilians during shelling near Solzavod and Semyonovka. One of the wounded is severely injured. During the shelling of Yampol, the junta forces used Uragan multiple rocket launchers.

LNR and DNR leaders aren’t ready in current conditions to have any contacts with Irina Gerashchenko, the so-called “Presidential Envoy for Conflict Settlement”. Denis Pushilin, Chairman of the Presidium of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) Supreme Soviet, told ITAR-TASS over the phone that contacts were possible only with mediation, saying, “I doubt very much that she’d be able to do anything, given that Poroshenko doesn’t control the situation”. Meanwhile, Valery Bolotov, the head of the LNR, said that he wasn’t going to have any contacts with Gerashchenko, “I’d speak to her only when the Ukraine withdraws its troops from our territory. The Ukrainian side is only building up its forces; in fact, they don’t want any talks at all”. Earlier on Tuesday, Poroshenko appointed Irina Gerashchenko, a UDAR politician, his envoy for peace settlement of the conflict in the DNR and LNR. Some of her tasks are “the organisation and participation in consultations, roundtable meetings, and conferences”.
