россия ворует в Украине уголь The OM continued to observe high numbers of dumper trucks transporting coal from the Luhansk region to the Russian Federation. As reported previously, the observers saw Russian Federation customs officers verifying that the trucks were empty while leaving the Russian Federation. On two occasions the OTs heard a number of assault rifle shots fired from a nearby shooting range, which is located on the Ukrainian side of the border as described in OM’s previous reports. The OT observed an armoured personnel carrier (APC), identified as BTR-90, being installed at the BCP. BCP officials explained that this was a routine BCP reinforcement in anticipation of the holiday season. The OTs picked up a sound of a train passing by the BCP on twelve occasions during the reporting week; the OTs were able to visually observe the trains on three different occasions. Observation on other occasions was impaired by the trees that are between the BCP and the train tracks. In all twelve cases, the OTs were able to estimate the direction of the trains: six went in the direction of Ukraine and six went towards the Russian Federation. On four occasions the OTs were able to recognize the noise of cargo wagons.
