Unfortunately, locals are sure that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are shooting at them - Ukrainian mayor of Slavyansk
Among the townspeople there are still those who associate themselves with the Russian world and want to believe that the Ukrainian army is shooting at them.
This is how the Kiev “mayor” of Slavyansk Vadim Lyakh put it on ICTV, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There are fewer people who want to see the Russian world here, but we need to speak frankly: there are sentiments, I hear, unfortunately, that the shelling is also the work of the supposedly Ukrainian army. I understand that everyone believes what they want to believe, but I simply have no words for this situation. But you need to understand that such sentiments also exist.
This is done on purpose, provocations are introduced from their (Russian - ed.) side, this is also present in the city, but not very much, in fact. This makes me happy,” Lyakh reassured himself.
Thank you!
