Advisor to Strelkov: We left Slavyansk to return to Kyiv
Donetsk - Kyiv, July 06 (Navigator, Igor Druz) - The operation to withdraw militia forces from Slavyansk, surrounded by Ukrainian troops, was a brilliant success for Igor Strelkov - all data on large losses among the rebels is propaganda of the Ukrainian side.

...The militia was forced to leave Slavyansk. Of course, we were ready to stand to the end, and were ready to carry out such an order from the commander-in-chief. We have all already left a will and said goodbye to our families. But we are military people, and we will carry out another order. Moreover, we absolutely trust both Igor Strelkov’s integrity and his military experience. After all, this man has already gone through 4 wars, and as a volunteer.
What would have happened if the Russian army had decided to defend Moscow to the end in 1812, or Kyiv in 41? There would have been no capture of Paris and, accordingly, Berlin, but there would have been a vain death of the army - “Russia’s only ally.” I am absolutely convinced of our victory, that we will liberate Kyiv. Although it is unknown with what blood and for how long.
Therefore, it is very strange to read now the speculation from some, supposedly patriots, that Igor Strelkov is simply to blame for “everything in the world.” Including the surrender of the city. It would be better to remember that he and his fighters heroically stopped the advance of an entire army for months, although there were only hundreds of them, in the end - a couple of thousand. Armed almost exclusively with small arms, they held off the advance of fifteen thousand professional soldiers.
At the same time, Igor Strelkov asked for help and spoke about the need to introduce peacekeeping troops, or at least massive supplies of heavy weapons from Russia. But no one listened to him. Moreover, in recent days there has been a betrayal of several commanders who exposed the flank of Slavyansk’s defense from the suburb of Nikolaevka. Further defense by the forces of small militias against the regular army, without hope of help from Russia, would mean the vain death of practically the only combat-ready, fired units of the Donbass People's Militia.
And also the complete destruction of the city and its civilians. After all, the tactics of the Ukrainian army are a kind of artillery genocide. They are very afraid of losing their manpower, so they simply pull howitzers and Grads to our populated areas, and then hit them, methodically destroying them block by block. Interestingly, the “dill” almost completely demolished Russkaya Street in Slavyansk. I think the battery commander looked at the navigator, at the map of the city, saw the hated name, and decided to destroy Russian Street. However, there was plenty of destruction on other streets as well.
The scenes that I saw are indescribable ... The contused three-year-old child, who is going crazy in your eyes, shouts not with his voice ... The priests who read the whole entrance at once, bypassing a dozen coffins exhibited near the home of the deceased ...
Here in order to stop this monstrous ukrovsky "peacekeeping" and decided to withdraw the troops commander of the Strelkov militia.
But then there was already speculation that the militia units allegedly left along some special “corridor” that Poroshenko had arranged for them. This is complete nonsense. The fact is that the blockade of Slavyansk was not complete. And it was still possible to get out on country roads. Another thing is that these roads were also shelled by artillery, most of all from Karachun. Therefore, Igor Ivanovich ordered a diversionary maneuver - an attack by our small armored vehicles on the position of the Ukrainian Army.
Our “Nona” and tanks began to strike at them, and at this time the militia in “Urals”, “Kamaz”, minibuses and cars drove towards Kramatorsk. Some tankers died heroically, their list is being specified, they will be presented to the St. George Crosses of New Russia posthumously.
Of course, the confusion that was unavoidable with such a rather large-scale operation was not without. Part of the drivers, having forgotten about the order to observe the blackout, drove off with the headlights on, forgot to glue the “dimensions”. And the enemy launched his drones, lighting missiles. They have a huge number of drones, as I personally have seen before, participating in a night outing. Therefore, the enemy finally managed to find us, and the tail of our convoy nevertheless came under fire from the Grad.
We were personally lucky, I and my people hit the head of the column, and did not suffer. Although initially just our car was driving in the tail, but then, due to the mistake of the local conductor, we had to deploy a convoy, and we were the first of the latter. In this shelling, alas, the families of the militia suffered, which they took out to save from the punishers. A woman and a girl were injured, and vehicles were damaged. Our exact losses upon exiting from Slavyansk are being specified.
But it is especially insulting to listen to the criticism “right” and “left”. After all, about any "conspiracy" with the authorities, who tried to once again destroy us during the withdrawal of troops, and there could be no question. Also, there can be no talk about our "terrible losses" during the withdrawal of troops. Well, why repeat ukrov lies?
Indeed, in general, Strelkov’s operation was a brilliant success, and, despite the inevitable complications in such situations, he managed to successfully withdraw almost all of the personnel, more than 90%. And almost all weapons. This greatly strengthens the defense of Donetsk, which is now most important.
And for office patriots who have criticized Strelkov from afar, I can say one thing: come here and show your talents here if you think that you are smarter and braver than him. We need volunteers.
Sorry that we did not die under Slavic. We have every chance of dying near Donetsk, if Russia does not help us.
