Those who persistently spread the myth of the “drain of Donbass” are traitors. DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko announced this at a press conference in Debaltsevo.

“These conversations irritate me. Those who say this do not see Donbass’s own will, do not see the opportunity to make decisions in Donetsk. They think that the fate of Donbass is being decided somewhere outside its borders - in Moscow, Washington, Berlin and Paris.
Do you yourself agree with this? We expressed our will at the referendum. And they confirmed this will in the elections a year ago. We defended our right to decide our own destiny with arms in hand.
I personally do not intend to be a puppet in someone's hands. I hope that my fellow countrymen and comrades in arms and labor will not want to become puppets whose strings are pulled by other people’s “uncles.”
This will be my answer to all those who whine about the “drain” of Donbass. Can't wait!
All these “leakers” and “ever-suckers” are not only defeatists, but also traitors to the entire great Russian World. They have already given up and given up. And, sitting in spiritual captivity, they whine. Let be. But we have to get things done – there’s a lot of work to do!” – said the head of the DPR.
