Головним інструментом нинішніх олігархів є безправний люмпен, який живе на подачках від держави, на грані фізичного виживання. Ось чому значна частина пенсіонерів є найкращим їх електоратом, який і допомагає часто приводити до влади їх ставлеників. Для малого і середнього бізнесу сьогодні закриті економічні ліфти у цілих галузях економіки, бо з кожним роком сфери зацікавленості олігархії збільшуються, перекриваючи кисень усім іншим.

Numerous armed clashes occurred between national law-enforcement units and so-called "Cossacks" lying in ambush near Sokolnyky on the outskirts of Krymske on Tuesday evening and overnight. The suburbs of Troitske, Popasna district, and strongholds of Ukrainian military situated nearby were shelled with mortars.

In addition, blasts resulting from the detonation of artillery shells and mines could be heard on the Bakhmutka highway near the 29-th roadblock. No civilians were killed or wounded, infrastructure and residential houses were not hit, the regional state administration said.

IRG: Militants attempt attacks on Mayorske and try to advance near Sokolnyky

Militants carried out a number of unsuccessful attacks on the village of Mayorske in the Artemivsk direction, and tried to get closer to ATO positions near Sokolnyky in the Lugansk direction.

Also, rebels made attempts to scout near river crossings across the river Siversky Donets, the organizer of the Information Resistance Group, Dmitry Tymchuk posted in  Facebook on March 25.

According to him, the most intense enemy fire occurred at the Prymorske direction.

"Militants and Russian mercenaries used 120-mm mortars and grenade launchers to fire at army positions near Shyrokine, Staromarivka, Novosellivka, and Mykolayivka. Positions of Ukrainian troops near Pisky, Granitne, and Avdiivka also came under rebel fire," Tymchuk wrote.

"As a result, Ukrainian troops repelled the rebel attack, and forced them back to the kick-off line."

Separatists make efforts to subordinate unruly factions; convoys keep coming from the Russian Federation

Militants continue to improve fighting efficiency of their forces, and have almost completed the process of incorporation of different illegal armed formations into their so-called "armed forces", the head of the Information Resistance Group, Dmytro Tymchuk, posted in  Facebook on March 25.

According to the IRG, the efforts of rebel commanders are focused now on several activities: consolidating the organizational and staff structure, making up deficiency in manpower and military equipment, setting up a subordination vertical line, improving rebels' fighting skills, building up material and technical resources for further operations.
