Information Resistance group’s operational data as of April 27th AM:

Sloviansk. Last night, Ukrainian security forces unblocked the newly built checkpoint of separatists near Sloviansk. A mobile SBU special ops group conducted the targeted operation. One of the captured extremists is a representative of the Donetsk Cossacks.

Artemivsk. Last night, around 100 separatists, some of them armed, arrived at an armory in Artemivsk, which was being protected by Ukrainian servicemen. Within 2 hours, there were approximately 1,000 separatists, and vehicles with Kharkiv Oblast [region] plates were identified. Serious attempts to storm the armory have not been initiated, the action was more a matter of psychological pressure. Separatists chanted, “Army with the people!” By morning, the separatists had retreated.

Stakhanov. After a short period of activity at night, a crowd of pro-Russian citizens that had gathered in the downtown area of the city, dispersed. Luhansk extremists that initiated the activity have left the city (in the direction of Luhansk). Stakhanov residents who participated in the seizure of the SBU building in Luhansk, and who, until recently, remained in the captured building, have been identified amongst the latter.

We, the Information Resistance group, will not comment on the detention of SBU operatives by Donetsk extremists (as reported by the media tonight) . We believe that this is solely within the purview of the SBU.
