The situation in Luhansk remains calm and the city has started rebuilding its infrastructure, the Luhansk City Council said Sunday.

KIEV, September 7 (RIA Novosti) – The situation in Luhansk remains calm and the city has started rebuilding its infrastructure, the Luhansk City Council said Sunday.

“The city services have started rebuilding the Luhansk infrastructure, additional prep work is being done on fixing the damaged power lines and resuming electricity supplies,” a statement released on the Luhansk City Council website said.

Luhansk has suffered significantly as a result of the Kiev military operation launched in mid-April against independence supporters in the region, who refused to recognize the new Ukrainian government, which came to power as a result of the February 22 coup.

In August, Russia delivered a convoy with about 2,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Luhansk, which was on the verge of a humanitarian disaster.

On Friday, during the meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine in Minsk, representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) agreed to a ceasefire between Kiev and independence supporters in southeastern Ukraine that started at 15:00 GMT the same day.
