KYIV. Feb 18 (Interfax) - Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander Valeriy Zaluzhny has called on the people living in the parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions not controlled by Kyiv not to believe rumors that Ukrainian forces are planning an offensive.
"I am addressing the residents of the temporarily occupied territories: don't believe the falsehoods circulated by the occupation authorities! You're being used for escalating the situation [...] The allegation that sabotage groups from the [Ukrainian] Joint Forces planned to blow up chlorine at sewerage facilities in Horlivka are absolutely untrue," Zaluzhny wrote on Facebook.
