JCCC, like our SCC, operates in extremely difficult conditions.
Despite the fact that the members of the JCC from South Ossetia enjoyed the internationally recognized right of unhindered movement in the conflict zone and international diplomatic immunity, the Georgian side often limited their right of unhindered movement in the conflict zone, and there was also a case of the capture of a member of the JCC from the South Ossetian side and his beating ...

Earlier, the head of the LPR representative office in the JCCC Mikhail Filiponenko also accused Kiev of exerting psychological pressure on Kosyak.
“We are addressing the head of the United Nations Human Rights Mission in Ukraine with an appeal to ensure the observance of the rights of Andrey Kosyak, a representative of the LPR in the JCCC kidnapped by the Ukrainian special service,” Filiponenko told reporters.

The LPR office in the Joint Center for the Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime (JCCC) told RIA-Novosti that there had been a relative calm on the line of contact in the LPR since October 22, since the Ukrainian security forces did not open fire on the territory of the republic, but on October 27, Ukrainian the security forces fired at the territory of the people's republic four times a day.

The Joint Forces Operation is a complex of military and special organizational and legal measures of the Ukrainian power structures aimed at countering the Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics. It is actually a reformatting of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) with the introduction of martial law or a state of emergency, the transfer of control from the SBU, which formally led the ATO, to the Joint Operational Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As you can see, the dialogue on a ceasefire and the settlement of the conflict is being conducted in difficult conditions. However, it is necessary to develop it in order to save people's lives. The military-political conflict between South Ossetia and Georgia lasted 18 years, and all this time there was a negotiation process that made it possible to largely smooth out its consequences for ordinary citizens living on both sides of the break line. Russia is interested in an early settlement of the conflict in Donbass. For this it is necessary, despite the difficulties, to develop the negotiation process within the framework of the Normandy format.
