Workers from Russia who came to help restore the "LPR" have been lied to, and not paid. As usual, the only way to resolve this is to appeal directly to putin:
"We are the working crew from Russia, currently on an assignment from the Mosvodokanal Corporation in Luhansk Oblast, Shchastia city. We appeal to the president of the Russian Federation to help solve the problem with our payment.
Upon making a decision to come here to restore the Luhansk People’s Republic, we did not even suspect that we could be lied to, considering how much social attention is paid to this problem. We work without an employment contract.
Our demands in the conditions agreed with us have not been satisfied. We do a communal effort, working for the good of the people. We’re asking for your help."

Battlefield update for 14 August, Kyiv time - noon.
Russian forces activated offensive operations in a number of directions, including the “sleeping” direction such as Zaporizhye, and aviation reconnaissance in search of weak points in the Ukrainian defence.
Continued strikes at command points, weapon caches, personnel groups of the adversary along the whole depth of the occupied territories.
The "LPR" blogger and volunteer Murz describes the shocking manner in which the Russian propagandists are slamming the "forced mobilisation" in Ukraine, meanwhile in the Donbas shops lack basic products due to the delivery drivers being afraid to drive: wartranslated.com/lpr-volunteer-…
Murz predicts mutiny in Russia as a result of this blatant mismanagement of resources by leadership and their inability to leave the fantasy world:
[Quote] It would be funny if it wasn't so sad...
Tonight, a civilian colleague, a telecommunications worker, a local, a Donbassian, in the process of discussing the next round of "mobilisation" in the LPR, showed me a video which the locals are laughing their as*es about in their group somewhere on social networks.
The Ukrainian general staff said today that the enemy had partial success on the Bakhmut direction.
This means that they pushed back our forces closer to the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut. This advance is about 1.5km. Arestovych calls for people to not "lose their heads" over this advance.
The tempo and the scale of this advance are such that they will not allow the Russians to take Bakhmut, Siversk or other towns. There will not be a repeat of Lysychansk and Severodonetsk.
The "LPR" battalion staff commander is seen complaining about the state in which his mobilised reservist forces are taking part in the "liberation" of the Donbass.
According to him, apart for fuel and provisions they have almost no supplies, including medicines, which have to be crowdsources. Many of the mobilised reservists come with serious diseases and comorbidities.
"- One battalion, were given 18 armoured vests.
18 armoured vests, and for your understanding, these are the people who couldn’t run away from commandant patrol when mobilisation was announced. These are people with chronic diseases, these are miners, everyone with professional diseases, they are asked to do the impossible.
The so-called “LPR” blogger and volunteer Murz, a long-standing character from the made-up “Novorossiya” kingdom whom we featured on a number of occasions here at WarTranslated, published on 11 August a text titled “Why is everything so slow and difficult?”, explaining the…
…painful advance of the Russian forces in the east of Ukraine.
