The divisions of the People’s Militia of the self-proclaimed “Lugansk People’s Republic” began the storming of the city, which is located about 30 kilometers from Lugansk and is controlled by Kiev. It is reported by Interfax with reference to the “Advisor of the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LNR” Vitaly Kiseleva.
