The head of Lugansk Region Hennadiy Moskal signed an order that forbids to cross the demarcation line in Lugansk Region starting from May 13 2015. No transport is allowed to pass including cars. The only exception is for cyclists, pedestrians and transport of international humanitarian organizations.

Today there is only one active checkpoint on a demarcation line in Lugansk Region, from Lysychansk to Hirske and Zolote in the direction of occupied Pervomaisk. The ban will continue until the Parliament and Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine legally regulate all details regarding transportation of cargo to occupied territories.

Here is a copy of the order singed by Moskal yesterday.
