Ukraine is not conducting an ATO in Donbass, but an operation to develop a new border. This was stated on TV channel 112 by politician and businessman Gennady Balashov (against whom a criminal case has been opened in the Russian Federation for calls to kill “Colorados” voiced from the Euromaidan stage).
According to him, this is evidenced only by recording the number of attacks on Ukrainian troops, and not by information about their victories.

“It can no longer be called ATO. When an ATO (anti-terrorism operation) is underway, it means terrorists are being caught. Accordingly, messages should go like: “they killed two terrorists, caught four” and so on. In our country, rather, the construction of a new border is underway, but we call it ATO. This means that our troops stand and do nothing. They don’t shoot at anyone, they have withdrawn their weapons. That is, there is no anti-terrorist operation, there is border development,” Balashov said.
