The situation in settlements within the
ATO zone
On June 27,terrorists kidnapped a journalist, the chief editor of the local civic-political newspaper “Druzhkivskyi robochiy” in Donetsk Oblast. His location at this point is unknown.
A forced recruitment of the locals to terrorist gangs is being continued in the Eastern Ukraine. It is being especially actively conducted in Luhansk Oblast. Herewith, the voters’ register that was formed during the so called referendum in Luhansk on May 11, is used. First of all, the armed terrorists take into consideration young men of the military age that voted for the independence of Luhansk Oblast. Also, they are patroling the city, including the railway station, in order to forcefully mobilize men who are capable of bearing arms.
On June 27, as a result of repairs, the canal “Siverskyi Donets-Donbas” went back to operation. Water supply for all cities of Donetsk Oblast has been provided. However, due to terrorist actions, there could be problems with water intake in the cities themselves.
