The football championship taking place in Russia has brought big problems to the defenders of the Donbass republics - the Ukrainians are provoking at the front, and the LDPR military is prohibited from suppressing enemy firing points.
Journalist Daria Aslamova, who returned from Donbass, spoke about this on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
“The World Cup brought big problems to Donbass. It is forbidden to return shots. It is forbidden to give in to provocations. On the day when we saw the match with Saudi Arabia, Donbass was given a “heavenly life”. There was artillery blasting on all fronts... And they had no right to respond. At absolutely every position there is a poster: “Warrior, do not give in to provocations!” I can’t say that people are happy about this,” she said, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“These are our victories, and they have only defeats. Because football victories bring them problems, killed people and the lack of the right to answer,” added Aslamova.
“This is horror and shame. Any provocation should be responded to with a massive firework using all the means that Donbass has,” commented columnist Yegor Kholmogorov in the studio.
