Lugansk People’s Republic State Security Ministry (MGB) officers have detained another member of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission Lugansk team on suspicion of high treason, the MGB press service reported.
“The LPR MGB detained an OSCE Lugansk team employee who had regularly passed sensitive information to foreign secret service representatives acting from the OSCE legal position,” the report said.
“The detainee is making a confession,” the MGB added.
Earlier, MGB officers detained an OSCE SMM Lugansk team member suspected of high treason.
The OSCE SMM delegation moved out of the Hotel Slavyanskaya in Lugansk and left in an unknown direction on March 1, 2022.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation to protect Donbass residents from Ukrainian aggression. Earlier, LPR and DPR Heads Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin asked the Russian leader to provide military assistance. As of now, some 80 percent of the LPR territory has been liberated.
The Ukrainian government launched the so-called anti-terrorist operation against Donbass in April 2014. The peace talks participants have announced ceasefire more than 20 times since the autumn of 2014. Kiev forces regularly violated the truce opening fire with large caliber artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn from the contact line under the accords. *i*s
