Amid the ban on movement across the delimitation line due to the threat of coronavirus proliferation,Ukrainian militants from 128th brigade carried out a provocation, trying to check how defenders of the Republic would act if they find a civilian in the interpositional zone, the DPR PMD reports.

“A.A Kryazheva born 1985 living in Ukraine-controlled territory, who had to get to the Donetsk People’s Republic, was chosen as the target.

According to our information, the Ukrainian militants offered the civilian to lead her for a certain fee across the delimitation line outside the established crossing points in the area of Novotroitskoye. Thus, the AFU planned to record on video our actions towards the found violator for possible further publication on the media.

However, on May 14 at 16:40, while still moving through the Ukrainian positions, the civilian stepped on a PMN-2 antipersonnel mine planted by the occupiers, her leg was injured,” the statement reads.
