Trips of “retirement tourists” from Donetsk and Lugansk are tracked using an automated system
Can you imagine, I’ve been riding to Mariupol for four months in a row to renew my pension, everything is useless, - Alla Demidovna, a friend from Khartsy, told me. Same story with my husband. He worked at the Khartsyzskaya mine, then at the Kommunist.
Now in Ukraine, the pensions of miners have almost doubled. We really hoped for this increase. Think not for yourself. After all, we constantly help our daughter - she works in the housing office, the salary is cheap, and she is raising two children.
Sudden loss of payments
Alla Demidovna and her husband stopped receiving pensions from October 1 - pension reform has just started in Ukraine. At first, the couple thought that this was a simple delay associated with the recalculation. Moreover, they said right away that migrants from Donbass would receive later than other citizens of Ukraine.
They told us in the Pension Fund: wait, your turn will come, - said Alla Demidovna. - My husband and I immediately went to Mariupol in October to find out if some documents might be needed for recalculation.
And in December, a security check came to the apartment where we are listed as migrants. I had to go quickly and explain. Made it within three days. Previously, after such checks, we continued to pay pensions. And then silence.
We went to the Pension Fund in January, and there we were dumbfounded: you, they say, permanently live in the DPR, you are not displaced people, we received lists from the border service, your names are there.
The story of Alla Demidovna and her husband is far from unique. I heard from many acquaintances that after going through all the procedures with checks, they were never renewed payments. And the lists referred to in the Pension Fund do exist and are updated almost every week.
Donetsk equated to foreign countries
Recently, employees of the Ukrainian organization "Right to Protection" conducted a large study. They talked with representatives of 101 departments of the Pension Fund of Ukraine (UPFU) and 112 departments of social protection of the population (UTSP). And almost all bodies of these social services confirmed that they receive lists of migrants through the Arkan system.
In everyday life, this word means a rope with a loop at the end for catching a victim. And this is also the name of the Hutsul ritual dance. Who first came up with the idea to call the system that way is unknown. And it doesn't matter - the main thing is that the Ukrainian authorities agreed with this. But human rights activists in Kyiv, Europe and the United States were not outraged.
And now in all the social services of the independent they know what it is automated system exchange of information on the control of persons, Vehicle and cargo crossing state border, including the line of contact in the Donbass. The border service of Ukraine manages the system.
From the lists, you can learn about the excess of the allowable period of absence of a migrant in the controlled territory at the place of registration (more than 60 days), which may lead to the suspension of payments and the cancellation of the migrant's certificate, the human rights organization said.
Information from the State Border Service in general can become the basis for the termination of social and pension payments. Actually, the lists from "Arkan" carry a big risk for migrants who receive any payments.
Human factor
Social services respond differently to these lists. In the vast majority of UPFUs (88%), they first send them to the UTSP for additional verification of the actual residence of the migrants. And the rest of the departments immediately suspend the payment of pensions to the "lassoed".
So, in the Voznesenovsky district of Zaporozhye (the former Ordzhonikidzevsky district is located in the center of the city, pensioners arriving from the DPR are most often registered here. - ed.), based on the data of the Arkan system, 700 IDP certificates were canceled in six months without additional checks, respectively, pension and social payments were suspended. Although at the same time, the employees of the UTSP and UPFU themselves complain that there is a lot of inaccurate and outdated information in the lists, human rights activists noted.
By the way, there are pleasant exceptions. A pensioner friend of mine (for obvious reasons, he asked not to be named) boasted that he only occasionally travels to Ukraine - once every 4-5 months. And at the same time regularly receives a pension.
In the same social services of Mariupol, they treat pensioners from the DPR differently. Someone sympathizes with the people of Donetsk and does not respond to information from Arkan. And there are those who simply have no time to check the migrants. Here's how lucky anyone is.
Alla Demidovna and her husband were not lucky. And now the couple do not know how to survive further. The DPR pension will hardly be enough for them. But it is necessary to raise grandchildren.
Examination
70 percent of migrants are suspected of "tourism". Such data are contained in the report of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.
In the "Donetsk region" many IDPs come to receive a Ukrainian pension, and then return to the uncontrolled territory. This is stated in the report of advisers on internally displaced persons (IDPs) of the Ministry who visited the "region" social policy Ukraine.
In total, there are 1,493,000 migrants in Ukraine in the square. This figure was announced in the social department at the end of January. Moreover, it was noted that the number of IDPs is constantly growing. Therefore, it was not in vain that the Kyiv specialists of the Ministry of Social Policy worked in the "Donetsk region" all December.
Now in the capital of Ukraine they know that growth comes at the expense of “retirement tourists”. This means that in the near future we should expect decisive actions by the Ukrainian authorities to tighten the Arkan around the necks of Donetsk old people.
The fact that such a scenario is possible has been repeatedly stated by the Minister of Social Policy Andrey Reva. Real immigrants, in his opinion, only 300 thousand. They are the ones who can get paid. The rest - after the "liberation" of Donbass.

Vice Chairman of the Committee
About the fate of prisoners of war Garmash Maxim
and Babich Sergei
who ended up in the republic as a result of the exchange of prisoners of war on December 27, 2017 and arrested by the MGB officers on January 6, 2018, nothing has been known for two weeks now. Those who are close to the topic are asked not to interfere and keep quiet, openly threatening problems.
For thousands of those who are not indifferent, fake evidence of guilt is being concocted. Information about Garmash's cooperation with the SBU is clearly "thrown" into the network. True, the trolls who fulfill the order are chosen hastily and they fire the entire office. One completely frostbitten person uploads screenshots of, allegedly, Garmash’s correspondence, with data from employees of the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs, along the way accusing Maxim of leaking this list to the SBU…
And it doesn't matter that the list for verification turns out to be a list of volunteers from the punitive battalion "Storm" ... It is not clear where such "storytellers" are taken to carry out stuffing. The video of Medinsky and Lotov, in which Denis accuses Maksim Garmash of collaborating with the SBU, has gained some fame, in fact, without evidence, although Daria Morozova also got “nuts” there, but as a basis for accusations of anything, the conversation in the video does not pull.
Why is the leader of the “Union of Prisoners of War and Political Prisoners of Donbass” Maxim Garmash so objectionable?! Why do they not disdain any means used to denigrate the activities of the Union?! The JCPOA was created by the forces of the prisoners of war and political prisoners themselves to help themselves. Its founder is Maxim Garmash.
The person thanks to whom dozens of prisoners of war and political prisoners were found and included in the exchange lists. Thanks to which, in cooperation with Viktoria Shilova, the lists were constantly updated, the missing persons were systematized, the data was sent to international humanitarian organizations, including the Trilateral Contact Group.
Lists of people in need of emergency medical care were systematized, assistance was sent to those most in need ... Maybe Maxim Garmash was objectionable, it turned out that the activities of the Union could compete in the exchange of prisoners of war. Involuntarily, the suspicion arises that a structure directly related to the exchanges was involved in the neutralization of Maxim Garmash, namely, the office of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the DPR and its permanent boss Morozova D.V.
I would like to clarify with the Ombudsman of the Republic, where are the lists of people who were exchanged? Why, instead of people in need of emergency medical care, people with a criminal past got into the exchange?! The opportunity to get an appointment with the Ombudsman for relatives of prisoners of war has become a talk of the tongues. At his own discretion, the Ombudsman includes people in the lists, pursuing his own interests.
One way or another, the current situation significantly undermines the authority of both the Head of the Republic and the Ministry of State Security of the DPR. From unofficial sources, it became known that some prisoners of war, having learned about the arrest of Maxim Garmash and Sergey Babich, begin to refuse the upcoming exchange. For the most part, these are members of the Union of Prisoners of War and Political Prisoners of Donbass.
No one wants to perish in the cellars of "their own" for selfless work in the release of our prisoners of war and political prisoners. Activity verification needs to be initiated
Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the DPR, namely Morozova D.V.!
From a letter from Lyubov Babich, mother of Sergei Babich:
“Please, help! My son Sergei Babich, born in 1982, as well as Maxim Garmash on January 6, 2018, after the exchange, was taken out of the hospital in Donetsk. Where he is and what happened to him I do not know. In response to repeated inquiries about his stay in the Office of the Commissioner, in the commission for prisoners of war on 9.01.10.01. After serving in a pre-trial detention center for almost 3 years for the DPR, it turns out that now he is being destroyed at home. For what?!!
He is a miner, survived 2 accidents at the mine. Zasyadko, honestly earned his own bread himself, grew up without a father. I am disabled and do not want my only son to perish. I pray very much for help in the release of Sergei Babich and Maxim Harmash!!!”
We also recall that Maxim Garmash has a young daughter and a blind mother, who is in the Yenakiyevo Territorial Center for the Disabled. Maxim's mother's phone is not answered, which also causes some concern.
In the name of the leader of the DPR Zakharchenko A.V. an application will be submitted to search for Maxim Garmash, Sergey Babich and Sergey Sirenko.
Sirenko Sergey, who was also exchanged on December 27, 2018, disappeared from the hostel a little earlier.
These persons were transferred to the DPR by Ukraine under the guarantees of the head of the Republic Zakharchenko A.V., President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin. and Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR is obliged to open a criminal case into the disappearance of Maxim Garmash, Sergey Babich and Sergey Sirenko.
Responsibility for the life and health of these persons lies entirely with the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights of the DPR, which is responsible for them within the framework of the exchange.
In order to avoid aggravating the situation, we demand that Garmash and Babich be provided alive and well, for example, by filming a video and posting it to the media! We demand that the accusations against Maxim Garmash and Sergei Babich be made public, or that the guys be released! Is there really a "witch hunt" going on in the republic, the victims of which are absolutely innocent people?

Video from local residents and a review of current and combat information from military correspondent "John Hughes".
Video from locals:
« locals The Bryanki filmed a video with unidentified flashes on the horizon, which were quite close to the shooting location. Residents of Donbass will understand that when flashes are seen, it does not bode well. We're trying to figure out what it was. Although bad experience past years suggests that these outbreaks do not mean anything good.
Review:“Donbass today: Kyiv is building up a strike force, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are faking shelling. Another failure of the truce in the LPR. Donetsk fears provocations by Ukrainian special forces against foreign journalists. APU fake shelling. Last news Novorossiya - in review federal agency news.
"Absolute" truce in action
In the Lugansk People's Republic, they announced another disruption of the truce due to the fault of the armed forces of Ukraine. The day before, at 16:00, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire on the positions of the LPR army near the village of Lozovoe. During the attack, the Ukrainian security forces used heavy machine guns and automatic heavy grenade launchers.
DPR fears provocations
According to the press service of the armed forces of the Donetsk People's Republic, film crews of foreign journalists are working southwest of the capital of the DPR, as well as in the area controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine Avdiivka (north of Donetsk). Among the media represented, there are correspondents from the American television channel NBC News. In addition, the command of the Kyiv Army previously transferred reconnaissance groups from the Special Operations Forces of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the above areas. These divisions of the Ukrainian authorities are used, as a rule, to perform specific tasks: carrying out terrorist attacks, sabotage, assassinations, operations to whip up military hysteria. AT this case The operational command of the DPR assumes probable provocations on the part of these forces, aimed at accusing the authorities and the military of the DPR of disrupting the truce.
Kyiv is building up a strike force
Local residents controlled Ukrainian army districts of the Luhansk region report the concentration of heavy equipment in the area of the village of Makarovo (area of \u200b\u200bresponsibility of the 80th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine). Moreover, the ATO command deployed several tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and landing vehicles with personnel to the area of the village of Valuyskoe. In the Stanichno-Lugansk district of the Luhansk region, on the territory of the psycho-neurological dispensary in the village of Teploe, LPR intelligence spotted several infantry fighting vehicles and discovered a fuel depot. The premises of the medical institution itself are used to house the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Falsifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: part one
In all key operational areas, according to the intelligence of the Novorossiya army, there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups of Ukrainian security forces. Their work is aimed at disrupting the truce. At the same time, the Ukrainian media, citing the ATO headquarters, blamed the republic's people's militia for the planned disengagement of forces and assets near Stanitsa Luganskaya, north of the capital of the LPR. Recall that the disengagement of forces was supposed to take place on March 5, but it was disrupted due to shelling. The absurdity of the accusations of the Ukrainian side is confirmed by the data from the reports international mission OSCE. Thus, the last published report (dated March 6) says that within the area, the patrol officers heard explosions and shots. At the same time, mission staff indicate that the sounds of war were heard from the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Falsifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: part two
Last Tuesday, the Ukrainian "mass media", citing the headquarters of the military operation, announced that "LPR militants" were shelling the village of Luganskoye, where the Ukrainian military is stationed.
To refute this "information", the LPR representative office in the Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire provided the data recorded by the officer of the Center in the specified area. So, at about 12.30, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at the locality, thereby simulating an attack by the LPR military and filming the incident on video. The defense department of the republic and the representative office of the LPR in the Center urgently brought these facts to the attention of the OSCE SMM team. The republic expresses hope for an objective fixation and reflection of information by an international organization.”
Official morning reports from the Ministry of Defense of the DPR and the NM of the LPR.
MO DPR:“Over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine violated the ceasefire TWO times. The areas of TWO settlements of the Republic were subjected to shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on which mortars of 120-mm caliber, grenade launchers and small arms were used.

The following weapons were used on the territory of the DPR.
Donetsk direction: 120 mm mortars - 1 time (4 mines), AGS - 1 time (15 grenades); light small arms - 1 time.
The following districts/settlements were in the shelling zone from the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Yasinovataya, Staromikhaylovka
The total number of ammunition used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine is 20 units.
Damaged as a result of the shelling freight car ZIL, heading to the Donetsk filtering station along the H-20 highway, in the back of which there were gasoline, cables and other materials for the operation of the DFS. The driver was not injured.
No violations of the ceasefire regime by the Armed Forces of Ukraine were recorded on the previous day.
Recall that the current truce came into force from 01:00 (Moscow time) on March 5, 2018.”
NM LPR:“Over the past day, the Kyiv security forces once fired at the positions of the People's Militia of the LPR. This was reported in the defense department of the Republic.
Fire in the area of the village of Logvinovo was fired from the armament of infantry fighting vehicles and small arms from the direction of the urban-type settlement of Luganskoye.
Previously authorized representative of the LPR at the Minsk talks, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Vladislav Deinego, following the meeting of the Contact Group participants held in the Belarusian capital on February 28, announced that the parties had agreed on an "absolute truce" from midnight (Kyiv time, 01.00 Luhansk time) on March 5. The Kyiv security forces disrupted the truce on March 6 by opening fire on the area of the village of Lozovoe.”
Official reports from the ILO DPR (Eduard Basurin) and NM LPR (Andrey Marochko).
MO DPR:“After a short relative calm, the Ukrainian invaders again violated the agreements, in again, jeopardizing the establishment of peace in the Donbass.
In the Donetsk direction, in the areas of the settlements of STAROMIKHAILOVKA and YASINOVATAYA, the enemy fired FOUR mines with a caliber of 120 mm, grenade launchers and small arms were also used.
Yesterday, Ukrainian militants again committed an act of aggression against civilian objects. Civilian truck owned utility company"Water of Donbass" transported property through the town of Yasinovataya towards the Donetsk filtration station. At 11:40 a.m., the car was fired at accurately from small arms from the positions of Ukrainian militants. The body of the truck was damaged as a result of the shelling. Fortunately, the driver was not hurt. As has happened more than once, the Ukrainian terrorists saw what they wanted to see, and instead of a civilian truck, they again imagined a car with ammunition.
In total, TWO violations of the ceasefire regime by the Ukrainian occupiers were recorded over the past day.
***
As we have repeatedly noted, the anti-constitutional law "On the reintegration of Donbass" completely "untied the hands" of Ukrainian militants. We constantly receive information from residents of the territories occupied by Kyiv about crimes against civilians. Per recent times their number is only growing.
In the settlements of Bogdanovka, Krasnogorovka, Verkhnee Zaytsevo, Gladosovo and Travneve, the Ukrainian invaders are actively dismantling the houses left by the residents and using the stolen property to improve their living conditions in dugouts as firewood and building materials.
***
And now about the pleasant. On behalf of the command of the Armed Forces of the Donetsk People's Republic, I want to congratulate all the women of Donbass on International Women's Day! In particular, female military personnel who, in difficult times, took up the defense of their land. Dear women! I wish you more smiles, always feel loved, happy, most needed and inspire us to do great things. And raise children under a peaceful sky!

"At the same time, the Kyiv nationalists beat two watchmen at the base and took out valuables," a representative of the People's Militia specified.
"Such facts are far from isolated cases and are carefully concealed by the command of the so-called ATO," he stressed.
