A Pervomaisk Town Hall commission has approved compensations for essential property lost as a result of hostilities to 780 residents of the town and satellite Popasnaya district, an official said.   “Over the first two work weeks of the new year, the Town Hall Commission <...> reviewed and approved 108 applications for lumpsum compensations in connection with the loss of essential property,” Pervomaisk mayor Sergey Kolyagin wrote on Telegram. “The number of approved applications amounts to 780 including 201 applications from the Popasnaya district.”   The authorities transferred 48.8 million rubles to the accounts of 488 recipients, he added.   In 2022, LPR authorities began to pay compensations to residents for lost or damaged homes and essential property, and launched a dedicated hotline for consultations.   The Ukrainian government started the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014.  The peace talks that began soon thereafter failed to reach tangible results due to Kiev’s position to settle the conflict by force.   The Lugansk People’s Republic acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referendum.*i*v
