Local public reports that leaflets in large numbers are hanged and just spreaded in the center of Luhansk.
The text of the leaflets says that mercenaries from Donetsk and Russia criminally seized power in Luhansk, having overthrow "lawfully elected head" Igor Plotnitsky. It is clarified that someone want to kill Plotnitsky “like Valery Bolotov, Alexei Mozgovoy, Alexei Bednov, Pasha Dremov”.
Luhansk residents are called upon to take up arms and stand on side of Igor Plotnitsky, the leader of the Luhansk militia.
The rebellion in occupied Luhansk occurred on Tuesday as a result of a conflict between the leader of the Luhansk militants Igor Plotnitsky and the so-called "Minister of the Interior Ministry of the “LNR”, Igor Cornet. Part of the militants went over to the side of the "minister" and, by his order, blocked the center of Luhansk and seized some administrative buildings. Also columns of military equipment and militants entered in the city, according to local residents it was "military assistance from the “DNR”.
At the same time, Igor Plotnitsky himself remains in Luhansk and even according to him, controls the situation. Last night he gave an interview to local journalists, saying that he would not use weapons against rebel fighters who had gone over to the side of the rebel "minister" and promised that "this conflict will be decided only by law".
