In the area of the Joint Forces Operation on June 24, armed formations of the Russian Federation violated the ceasefire 3 times, - the JFO headquarters reported. Retaining the defense and control over the situation, the Ukrainian military acted decisively and harshly responded to the enemy units, forcing the occupation forces to cease their aggressive actions.

Militants of the "DNR", who opposed Ukraine on the side of Russian occupiers in 2014 with arms in their hands, cannot rely on any financial assistance from the "republic". This was stated by calling himself deputy head of the department of the "people's police of the DNR" Eduard Basurin on the air of one of the separatist channels. When asked how the "volunteers" who stood up for the "defense" of Donbass in 2014 will be marked and whether any fund will be created to provide real assistance to them, the "DNR" propagandist reported that the "state", of course, could assist, but "people should create these funds themselves". "The man who took arms in 2014 to protect his family, homeland and religion… Do we (the occupation authorities - OstroV), the authorities, now owe him for taking weapons? Then why did he take it for? There is a concept of duty and honor, he did what he had to do! And if you ask for a material consideration for this, then what for you came at all!", - one of the militant leaders explained his position indignantly.
Leader of the "LNR" Leonid Pasechnik admitted that the MTS (Vodafone) cell towers were shut down just in the occupied territory of Luhansk oblast and instructed to resume their operation. This follows from his statement. Pasechnik admitted that "there are a lot of applications for the hotline" regarding the restoration of communication of MTS (Vodafone). "The connection is really damaged, there are, among other things, our shortcomings, there are engineering matters, they are being finalized now. I ordered that there would be an excellent communication on Monday, but starting from Thursday, they will start gradually turning on the cell towers", - Pasechnik said. He also promised to restore access to the VKontakte social network, which is banned in Ukraine and was blocked in the territory of CALO with the onset of mining strikes.
CADLO residents with passports of the Russian Federation will be transported to Russia by special buses to vote for Putin's constitutional amendments. This was said in the message of the so-called "Ministry of Transport of the DNR". The ticket price was not indicated, but earlier, the occupation authorities reported that the residents of occupied Donbass would pay for the voting trips. They were promised that they would not undergo an obligatory observation after returning to the "DNR". Similar "voting" buses will carry "voters" from the occupied Luhansk region.
Eight people waiting in line to leave the occupied territory were taken to the hospital of occupied Dokuchaievsk from the Olenivka checkpoint. This was reported by local residents on social networks with reference to a source in the OSCE SMM. It was noted that 8 people were delivered today to the Dokuchaievsk hospital from the Olenivka checkpoint. "The diagnosis is different: from a preinfarction angina to sunstroke", - the report said. It was noted that people continue to arrive to the checkpoint, although the passage of citizens is carried out "as difficult as possible".

Occupation authorities of the "DNR" warned that water supply would be reduced in a number of cities in the occupied part of Donetsk region. This was reported by the press service of the fake "Ministry of Construction of the DNR".
