Along with the DPR checkpoints, there are also Russian military personnel stationed in the capital of the Republic.
This information was reported by Deputy Minister for the Affairs of “Occupied Territories” Georgy Tuka during a press conference in Kyiv dedicated to the results of the “reintegration of Donbass,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The official said that he had recently communicated with a pro-Ukrainian Donetsk resident who told him an interesting story.
“A wonderful man, he is 60 years old. The older brother is visually impaired, their mother is 94 years old, she is in such a condition that it is already dangerous to move.
This man, unlike many, took up arms and defended you and me. In fact, risking his life, he constantly visits his mother and brother in the occupied territory.
He told me how a minibus that was driving through Donetsk passed a patrol of “little green men.”
By the way, local residents there perfectly distinguish “their” armed forces from the Russians. The minibus passed just past a Russian patrol on the territory of Donetsk.
There was a quarrel in the minibus, which barely escalated into a fight - about the role of these people in general in modern events. Many of the passengers on the minibus expressed great irritation towards these Russian servicemen.
This indicates that the level of discontent and rejection of what is happening among the civilian population is growing,” said Tuka.
