Anti-aircraft units of the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic have the right and will destroy Ukrainian aviation, fixed in radius 30 kilometers near the contact line in Donbass. This was stated by the official representative of the defense department of the republic Andrei Marochko.
According to Marochko's statement, Ukraine's use of military aviation in the area of the contact line is a flagrant violation of the Minsk agreements and the People's Militia of the LPR is always ready to use the right to shoot down Ukrainian aircraft to protect civilians. He added, that hopes, that Kiev has enough prudence not to use aircraft in the conflict area, otherwise Kiev will face big losses.
Marochko informed, that, in his opinion, the flights of Ukrainian aviation in the zone of the contact line are nothing more, like a PR move, aimed at raising the spirits of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the command of the Ukrainian security forces must be aware of all the risks of using aviation in the conflict zone.
Earlier in the Ukrainian media there were reports about the conduct of training flights of fighter aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force in the area of the demarcation line in Donbass.
