Residents of Donbass demand that the Ukrainian Armed Forces not use them as cover during shelling of the DPR

Residents of the Donbass territories controlled by Kyiv are increasingly taking to the streets to protest against the arbitrariness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In response to this, the Ukrainian military is sowing panic and preparing armed provocations against them.

This information was announced during the briefing by the official representative of the DPR defense department, Eduard Basurin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

Massive losses of militants and the disruption of the enemy’s plans to enter Gorlovka caused panic in the command of the 24th brigade and the Joint Forces Operation as a whole.

“Together with the local administration of Dzerzhinsk, the terrorists began a hasty evacuation of the local population, fearing a powerful counterattack from our side and preparing to leave their positions. It is important to note that the enemy spread his panic not only to the residents of Dzerzhinsk, but also to the residents of Gorlovka, trying to instill fear in them. For this purpose, leaflets were distributed in Dzerzhinsk, with the help of which the OOS command called on city residents to evacuate. At the same time, the Ukrainian punitive forces did not make similar efforts against the residents of the village of Yuzhnoye and Chigarskaya Balka, who are closer to the contact line, which proves the fact that Naev used civilians as human shields,” Basurin noted.

It is worth noting the fact that there are no civilian casualties in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“The return fire of the DPR Armed Forces was targeted, accurate and destructive, exclusively against military equipment and militants who were firing at our civilians. The enemy, in turn, due to panic, hit in all directions, including his own. Only civilian infrastructure and peaceful houses came under fire from the Nazis. Naev once again proved that he is a hypocrite, a liar and not worthy of the officer rank. He can only promote himself on camera and beg journalists for good comments about himself. But in order to earn respect, we first of all recommend that this fascist learn to manage his gang in order to force it not to specifically shoot at civilians, whom they call citizens of Ukraine.

In connection with the intensification of the criminal activities of Naev’s terrorist forces, mass protests of civilians took place yesterday and earlier in cities and towns occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In relation to some, the Ukrainian “liberators” used force to disperse them and prevent them from telling the truth. Residents of settlements such as Svetlodarsk, Avdeevka, Verkhnetoretskoye and Dzerzhinsk took to the streets and accused the Ukrainian occupiers of shelling their cities and towns. They protested the actions of the Ukrainian command, and also called on them to leave the cities and not use them as cover when shelling the territory of the DPR.

Naev ordered to hide these facts. At the same time, there is information from our intelligence about preparations, on the initiative of Zhebrivsky, for shelling of protesters in cities from the positions of Ukrainian punitive forces, in order to once again blame the DPR Armed Forces for this, and to discourage those dissatisfied with the authorities from gathering for spontaneous rallies and protests,” said Eduard Basurin.
