More than 11,000 customers in the Lugansk People’s Republic were left without electricity because of Ukrainian army strikes, the LPR Office at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination reported. “Power outages in the Slavyanoserbsk district affected over 10,000 customers as a 110 kW transmission line was damaged,” the report said. The damage to the transmission line in the Golubovskoye settlement area cut off power supply to 1,000 customers in Golubovskoye and the Donetsky township. Kiev forces violated the ceasefire 177 times on February 23, 144 times on February 22, 65 times on February 21, 63 times on February 20, 49 times on February 19, 31 times on February 18 and 29 times on February 17.

Kiev forces regularly violated the truce, opening fire with large calibre artillery, mortars and tank guns which were to have been withdrawn in accordance with the accords. *i*t
