“As of this morning, Donetsk is surrounded by the forces of the punitive army and the National Guard. However, the people's militia units are in perfect order and are ready to defend the capital of the republic. This is not the first time that the punitive forces have announced the encirclement, cleansing and almost capture of parts of Donetsk.
However, in reality they never succeeded. The DPR government is still confident of victory. However, in the surrounded city there is a humanitarian catastrophe. Civilians are killed during shelling. If the city is stormed, the number of victims will increase by orders of magnitude,” says Zakharchenko’s appeal posted on the DPR website.
The DPR stated that there are absolutely no humanitarian corridors today: supplies of medicines for the population cannot reach the city, food is running out, and due to the blockade and shelling it is impossible to repair destroyed utility networks.
“We continue to hope that the world community will influence the bloodthirsty Kyiv authorities, and Donetsk will not repeat the fate of Stalingrad. We are ready for a ceasefire to prevent the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe in Donbass from growing. But if the aggression of the Ukrainian army continues, our people’s militia will fight in any balance of forces and in any conditions. Kyiv needs to remember how Stalingrad ended for the Nazis, and that a couple of years after it Berlin was taken,” Zakharchenko said.
“The fight will be waged for every street, for every house, for every meter of our land,” he emphasized.
As Navigator reported, earlier the LPR and DPR have repeatedly made appeals to the international community and Russia, in particular, about the introduction of peacekeepers.
