"The President of the Russian Federation VV Putin of workers Lugansk utility" Luhanskelektrotrans "FSC
Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, we have to turn to you for help. FSC Since we have appealed to all authorities, including our problems head of the republic knows carpentry, chairman of the Council of Ministers Kozlov. But none of them are making an effort to solve the problems of enterprises and workers. Even the chairman of the trade union republics Akimov, which inherently should protect the interests of employees, never met with the workforce, not listened to their problems and took no steps to address them.

A core question is - are employees of the company within 8 months of not receiving current fee, despite the fact that total debt is 25 months. Moreover, the issue of wages and debt added another concerning the closure of the tram traffic in the capital of the Republic of Luhansk. All this is done via the head of administration Pilavova MV and director of the company Lordkipanidze I. through nominees who own taxis and their competitors in the form of tram traffic not needed. Therefore, they practically destroyed the tram fleet and infrastructure. Moreover, the orders Pilavova MV contact wire removed from almost all tram traffic routes, and Lordkipanidze I. it passed in Chermet. What caused the company losses of about 60 mln. Rubles. Even before the fighting Pilavov always said that zakataye tram lines in the city center to break up the company and remove competition. Therefore, we ask you to help us in solving the problems that have arisen because they ignore the level of the republic. Employees of the company have simply lost faith in justice and the rule of law. Therefore appealed to you as the only hope for you.
Sincerely, employees of the company "Luhanskelektrotrans" FSC ".

"It's certainly funny, but at the Donbass still believe Putin and hope that Russia their rescue. Accidents l * chi, which cynically lit and framed, unwilling to believe that what happened to them, still clinging to the hope that Putin where Moscow has no idea what is happening in Donetsk and Luhansk. what if properly ask him for help, he heard "- commented the letter blogger.

However, as noted Kazan, do not have to wonder - could be different in a city where tram depot workers run the machines on rails?



"I can imagine how bellow the administration of Putin when reading a message. Just think, even trade union leader Akimov does nothing! Ahahaha. That staff tramparku REALLY LED and think that they have a genuine trade union leader, who must protect the interests of employees. They really write it without emoticons without quotation marks, "- he added.

As reported by the "Observer", formerly a journalist Roman Bochkala told about life in the "FSC" in terms of absolute lawlessness.

Censor.NET reports citing U.S. Department of State press service.

"The focus right now is on restoring the ceasefire and getting a stable, sustained ceasefire because that is a precondition for everything else I think once there's a ceasefire on the Line of Contact, once there's a sustained ceasefire on the Line of Contact, it will be necessary to assess what further enhancement to security is necessary in order to have free and fair elections. But the first step, no matter what, is a ceasefire," Baer said.

The official has also mentioned that the current OSCE SMM is a civilian monitoring mission with unarmed monitors. At the same time, police mission may be necessary but only after establishment of sustained cease-fire.

Moreover, Daniel Baer stressed that the situation has gotten dramatically worse in the last weeks.

At the same time, Geoffrey Pyatt, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, added that Russia is completely responsible for destabilization of the situation in the Donbas.

"Ukraine has passed an amnesty law. Ukraine has had the first reading of a constitutional amendment. Ukraine has passed a special status law. But it's very clear that Russia has not discharged its obligations. The troops and equipment have not been withdrawn. A ceasefire has not been implemented. All hostages have not been released," Pyatt added.

The prisoner swap lists offered by militants include people who have never been captured by Ukrainian defense and security authorities as well as mere criminals.

Adviser to the chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine YuriI Tandit said on air of Hromadske Radіo, Censor.NET reports.

According to him, last year in Minsk, the Ukrainian side received a list of people who the self-proclaimed republics wanted to exchange. It contained 1,102 names.

According to Yurii Tandit, more than 300 people from the list have never been detained by Ukrainian law enforcers, while more than 180 are reluctant to return to the occupied territory.

"100 people could not be identified at all. There are some nicknames, some strange aliases, confused names. The interesting thing is that more than 40 people have nothing to do with the anti-terrorist operation and the contact line. They didn't defend any principles. Some of them are sentenced to different terms. For example, one man is jailed for dodging alimony," he said.

Now, this list has been shrunk to 602 people. And terrorists insist on the "all-for-all" formula.

Tandit calls it "delaying tactics."

"The neighboring country employs delaying tactics... They have already announced the postponement of elections until November. They are putting pressure and trying to lobby their interests in the West in order to legalize those criminal authorities and leave everything as is," the adviser noted.

Tandit also added that militants had disrupted the previously announced exchange of 25 Ukrainian hostages for 50 people from the militants' swap list.
