LPR reports Ukrainian army's plotting of terror attack on water treatment plants fraught with ecological catastrophe
LUHANSK. Nov 29 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian army is preparing to blow up Donbas water treatment plants, which are storing large quantities of chlorine, head of the public relations center of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) State Security Ministry Yevgenia Lyubenko said.
"The State Security Ministry of the Luhansk People's Republic has operative information about acts of sabotage being plotted in Donbas. To our knowledge, Ukrainian security services are preparing to blow up water treatment plants, which are storing large quantities of chlorine, in the near future. This terror attack will unavoidably lead to a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe in territory of the people's republics," Lyubenko said.
The act of sabotage is being prepared by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Directorate of Intelligence jointly with the so-called ATO staff, she said, adding that the LPR State Security Ministry had established the identity of perpetrators of the prospective act of sabotage and their superiors who were giving 'criminal orders'.
"For instance, ATO supervisor Khomchak Ruslan Borysovych, aviation task force head Kotov Oleksiy Vasylievych, chief of staff Fyodorov Ihor Vasylievych and his deputy Berezovsky Serhiy Yevgenievych are planning to launch the terror attack for blowing up critical infrastructures in Donbas," she said.
"Thereby, the Kyiv authorities are daily demonstrating their unwillingness to meet the Minsk agreements and are carrying on the policy of terror and genocide of the Russian-speaking population of Donbas," Lyubenko said.
