The Delivery company has ceased operations in Donetsk due to the actions of the so-called "DPR," the company's press service reported.
"Between December 2, 2014, and December 4, 2014, armed individuals claiming to be employees of the Ministry of State Security of the "DPR" (hereinafter referred to as MGB) detained eight vehicles belonging to Delivery LLC, which were carrying cargo, as they were leaving Donetsk. More than 2.000 customers (!) lost their shipments. The vehicles were detained without any documentation or stated reasons. After the detention, the vehicles carrying the cargo were transported and stored at the MGB base at 3 Svetloho Puti Street in Donetsk," the statement reads.
The company's press service notes that after three days, the transport with the cargo was handed over to "Cossack units."
"During the parking lot, GPS sensors were removed from all the trucks, after which the vehicles carrying their cargo were moved to the territory where the Cossacks are based. All cargo from the trucks was unloaded into hangars and simply appropriated. Repeated appeals by Delivery's security service to the authorities of the so-called 'DPR' – the police, the prosecutor's office, the military prosecutor's office, the military police, and the Ministry of State Security – have yielded no results," Delivery claims.
Given that the authorities of the so-called "DPR" are currently not taking any real action to return the confiscated cargo, "there is every reason to believe that this incident is a planned action aimed at intimidating business representatives and completely cutting off supplies to residents and the movement of goods (including food, medicine, personal belongings, and other goods of social importance)."
"Given the current situation and the impossibility of ensuring the safety of customer cargo during transportation to the territory of the so-called 'DPR,' Delivery management has made the responsible decision to cease operations in Donetsk until the property is fully returned," the statement reads.
