The 'ceasefire' was declared officially over, even though it seems it was never honoured or respected in the first place.
Putin has accused the West of seeking to use the crisis in Ukraine to destabilize the whole region.
According to the Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) of the OSCE in Ukraine:
In Kharkiv the situation remained calm. The SMM was informed about a donation from supporters of Ukraine’s unity to Ukrainian forces. Namely, supporters of Ukraine’s unity from Lviv went to Chuhuiev to supply Ukrainian armed forces serving in the Kharkiv Region with 150 flak jackets and 200 helmets. At the same time, wounded soldiers in Kharkiv’s hospitals were visited by Catholic priests, also from Lviv.
In Luhansk in the night from 29 to 30 June, the SMM heard, from an unidentified direction, five explosions.
On June 30 at around 13.00, 15.20 and 18.30, artillery and mortar fire was heard by the SMM, all coming from the northern part of Luhansk city.
There were no incidents in the past 24 hours at two checkpoints the SMM visited. Traffic was allowed through at both checkpoints and Ukrainian soldiers manning the checkpoints were thorough when searching cars.
The SMM met with Valery Bolotov, “president” of the so-called ’Luhansk People’s Republic’ (LPR), who claimed that the ceasefire was never respected by the Ukrainian forces.
