Luhansk Accuses Ukraine Of Using Electronic Warfare Against OSCE Drones In Donbas

LUHANSK (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 13th June, 2021) Ukraine's armed forces wage electronic warfare aimed at hindering the work of OSCE monitoring drones at the contact line in Donbas, a spokesperson for the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) said on Sunday.
The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) told Sputnik in April that one of its monitoring drones was lost in eastern Ukraine in a non-government-controlled area as a result of a targeted attack. LPR leader Leonid Pasechnik has told Sputnik that Luhansk forces never targeted SMM drones.
"Ukrainian militants continue to hamper the work of the OSCE observers," the LPR official told reporters, adding that the republic's intelligence has found weapons and equipment of the Ukrainian security forces in residential areas of 11 settlements of the contact line controlled by Kiev.
According to the spokesperson, the Bukovel-AD electronic warfare system belonging to the Ukrainian security forces was discovered in the Kiev-controlled settlement of Novoaleksandrovka. It was used for the signal interference of the OSCE SMM drones.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are also said to be deploying armored vehicles and anti-aircraft warfare near the contact line.
"Despite the absence of fire provocations, the enemy continues to violate their obligations," the official said.
Kiev launched a military operation against Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014. There have been many attempts to resolve the conflict or, at the very least, end hostilities. Prospects for peace have been discussed on various platforms, including the Trilateral Contact Group, which, since September 2014, has already adopted three documents containing steps to de-escalate the conflict.
