ATO veterans want to weld a train to the rails to blockade the occupied territories
In Luhansk region, in the Popasnyansky district, ATO veterans are blocking trains heading to the territory controlled by the terrorists.
Reported by the ANTI-COR portal with reference to the media.
On the section between Svitlanove and Shepilove stations, activists together with deputies are blocking the railway track.
“In the area of the railway line there are about 30 people in camouflage, among whom are members of the Ukrainian Parliament — Semenchenko Semen Ihorovych, Kostenko Pavlo Petrovych, Pastukh Taras Tymofiyovych, Parasiuk Volodymyr Zinoviyovych, as well as the assistant to Member of Parliament Vynogradskyi Anatoliy. They placed three wooden sleepers on the railway and announced the start of an open-ended civil act of defiance to prevent rail transport of cargo to the territory not under Ukrainian government control and in the opposite direction. A tent for the participants of the action was set up next to the track,” said Tetyana Pogukay.
Member of Parliament Semen Semenchenko stated that the freight train was specifically directed at the group of people on the rails.
“Knowing that the railway is blocked, the train was directed straight to the checkpoint. Everyone had to come out onto the rails. The train is heading to the occupied territory (54 cars) stopped,” wrote the deputy.
According to him, a investigative-operative group arrived, which is “studying the circumstances of an attempt on the lives of a group of people.” “The veterans called in a welding device. The train involved in financing terrorism will be welded to the rails near Reduta Bohdana and will become a monument to smuggling and blood trading,” he added.
As a reminder, in Donbas, demobilized ATO participants have begun an economic blockade of Donbas. They pledge to block railway traffic to temporarily non-government-controlled territories. The organizers and participants of the blockade demand that the terrorists release all Ukrainian hostages.
