MOSCOW. Sept 12 (Interfax) - The security subgroup of the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine will discuss the situation surrounding the "school truce" in Donbas during a video conference on Wednesday, LPR negotiator and acting foreign minister Vladislav Deinego told Interfax on Tuesday.
"A video conference of the working group on security is scheduled for Wednesday. It will analyze the situation concerning compliance with the ceasefire," Deinego said.
The number of truce breaches by Ukraine has risen in the past two days, he said. "Over the past couple of days, there has been an increase in the number of violations on the Ukrainian side, some of which are reflected in the reports of the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] Special Monitoring Mission. The situation is most complicated in the Pervomaisk-Popasna sector and near the Svitlodarsk Arc," Deinego said.
Ukrainian troops are using small arms and mortars, as well as grenade launchers with calibers up to 82 mm, but no heavy weapons, he said.
Meanwhile, Kyiv has confirmed that a security subgroup videoconference is slated for Wednesday. "Tomorrow, September 13, the security subgroup is due to hold a video conference. The Skype meeting will take place in continuation of the Trilateral Contact Group's arrangements to monitor compliance with the ceasefire," Darka Olifer, a spokeswoman for Leonid Kuchma, Ukraine's second president and TCG representative, wrote on her Facebook page on Tuesday.
