Head of the DPR Denis PushilinMOSCOW, February 26 said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin. «As for the situation as a whole, we are moving forward. Of course, everyone would like it to be faster, but we are aware that the fortifications were built by the armed formations of Ukraine for 7-8 years. They strengthened great, but It is unlikely that this will help them and does not help them, because in many sectors of the front the defense in depth has been overcome by our units. But so far there is a struggle for every 100 meters,» Pushilin said on the air of the Soloviev Live Youtube channel.The Ministry of Defense accused the Kiev authorities of using terrorist methods «The most terrible and cynical thing on the part of the Ukrainian units is that they heard that Russia does not shoot at cities, at residential areas and our position is the same, and like bugs are now pressing against residential areas with their weapons , a human shield from the population,» Pushilin added. He noted that yesterday 5 civilians were killed, eleven were injured. On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, which declared their independence back in 2014 from Kyiv, and early in the morning on February 24, Russia launched a military operation to demilitarize Ukraine. In a televised address to fellow citizens, Putin said that circumstances “require decisive and immediate action,” as the Donbass republics asked for help. According to the Russian leader, the entire responsibility for the bloodshed will be on the conscience of the ruling regime in Ukraine. Later, the Russian Defense Ministry emphasized that the Russian Armed Forces do not inflict any strikes on the cities of Ukraine: military infrastructure is disabled by high-precision means. The civilian population, according to the department, is not in danger. The Ministry of Defense added that the Ukrainian border guards «do not offer any resistance», in some cases the Ukrainian military surrenders and after that they have the opportunity to return to their families.Situation development — in the online report >> «/wp-content/uploads/f692952dc5c7f05dda9095cd7bd41b61.jpg» />Third day of operation: Luhansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic advance, Kyiv refuses to negotiatePosted by: Petr Popadyuk
