“We don’t record shelling,” says the Ukrainian side and covers Gorlovka with fire
Despite the fact that Gorlovka residents live under the sound of shelling, which in turn is recorded by the JCCC, the Ukrainian military command does not want to hear anything about it, much less react in any way.
VGTRK military correspondent Grigory Vdovin stated this via video link from Gorlovka on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It is important that the residents of Donbass understand perfectly well that they, of course, will not become a bargaining chip in potential negotiations between Biden and Putin, which are likely to have not yet taken place,” host Olga Skabeeva said during the program. “And no matter what happens, of course, no one is going to give them up as soon as Biden unexpectedly called.”
Grigory Vdovin echoed her words and told how the residents of Donbass feel about support from Russia.
“You can cite a small slogan that is written on the car of the mayor of Gorlovka, Ivan Prikhodko. It’s written on his car: it’s not who’s opposite you that’s important, but who’s next to you is important. This expresses very well the thoughts that people here have about what is happening.
That is, everyone feels involved in the general situation, that Russia will never abandon the people who are now here, and who are now, in general, frozen in anticipation of what will happen. Because the situation is really very tense, and Gorlovka, since it is located in a semi-circle of Ukrainian troops, actually appears daily in the reports of the JCCC on shelling.
Just over the past 120 hours in the Gorlovka direction, 6 arrivals were recorded today from 7-mm mortars, XNUMX grenades from RPGs, a machine gun and small arms, although this is a violation, here it is considered significant, it happens so often here and everyone got used to it,” told the military correspondent.
At the same time, he noted the observation recorded in the JCCC report that the Ukrainian side completely ignores the facts of shelling.
“You can also quote the phrase that ends the JCCC report: any attempts through the existing mechanism to reach the Ukrainian command and somehow report this shelling, stop it, are met with a reaction from the Ukrainian side - we do not record any shelling. That is, even what is heard here in the city is inaudible to them,” summed up Vdovin.
