The text of the interview:
"They attacked Marinovka, tried to cut the corridor that connects the southern group of the enemy with their main forces. They took three skyscrapers and one village, but could not advance to the border. During the fighting, two people were killed and no less than 15 were wounded. One was also wounded BTR, one BMP and one armor captured.
Another mortar battery was found that shot at us. We must deal with her too. Several pieces of equipment escaped from us from the village. One of the heights was defended by three enemy tanks, in the village itself there were four infantry fighting vehicles, one Hammer and an armored troop-carrier. Most have gone.
Every few minutes, Marinovka is bombarded by the Ukrainian military, who throw heavy shells at her. In response, the militia strikes at enemy positions. "
During the conversation, which took place right on the battlefield, Strelkov gave commands to his subordinates to surround and destroy the enemy, sending a sabotage group to the intended area.

Message from the militia
"Local residents of Avdiivka in the Vineyards area noticed a small group of shabby people in green camouflage who were interested in safe exits from the DPR. Obviously airport occupants, another group of deserters. Regarding how much they let go, I explain that the airport’s perimeter is quite large and the airport borders they adjoin a deserted area, there is a plantation next to each other.In the account of the destruction of the radar tower - in fact, an operation was carried out to destroy the tower’s communication (the tower itself will be useful to us after the victory), and not structure lines. Damaged power cable lines. Dill will not be able to restore them, because the territory in this, and not only there, place is well shot through. For security reasons, the militia drugs take preventive measures to remove the enemy from the state of combat and psychological readiness ".

True, accounts in Canada are blocked. I did not know that I had them, but it would have taken a little on good writing matters. Well, in Canada itself, I no more. Wow! Maybe there is some special snow? Then oh!
I will cry, because I didn’t watch snow at all on Amur. So it goes".

Summary of the LC militia for the first half of July 16
"The last evening and night in the Luhansk region were relatively quiet. The enemy continued to retreat from Provaglia and Marinovka, suffering heavy losses, towards Biryukovo, where he was also met by LC units and suffered losses.

Messages from the militia
"Drying over Gorlovka worked, went towards Mirgorod with a thick black tail. We think that it is unlikely that it will reach the airfield with such damage."
"Near the checkpoint" Marinovka "on the former Russian-Ukrainian border there is a clash between the punishers and our assault group.
The checkpoint, controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was attacked by 10 tanks, five armored personnel carriers and 2 by hundreds of militiamen. From the side of ukrov in the first minutes of the battle two soldiers were killed. "

Message from the militia Prokhorov
“I want to inform that the retreat of ukrov from Izvarino’s 72, 79 airborne and 24 mechanized divisions is gradually turning to flight. Panic sentiments by telephones and other means of communication are distributed by the mass media from relatives in the media.
So the "air offensive" ukrov - it's just a loud bunch in a puddle.
At the Ukrainian checkpoint Izvarino, the word "Ukraine" has been converted into a "ruin", the flags of "LNR" and the USSR hang.
14: 40 (MSK) Fighting began in the Metallist area (a suburb of Lugansk).
From the city of Happiness, the National Assembly has taken most of the armored vehicles to New Aydar.
Another wave is coming to Saur-Grave. And when ukrov Su-24 run out? According to them, anti-aircraft guns in Snezhniy (+ MANPADS) have already worked, before that at least one Dryer had seriously undermined health during previous raids.
The fact that an attempt was made on the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov is a fake. In Slavyansk he is alive and well. Stuffing to delay the attention of citizens from the defeat of the Ukrainian army in the southern "gut."

Interview with the commander of Gorlovka Igor Bezler
Igor Bezler with the call sign "Bes" is the commandant of the city of Gorlovka and the most mysterious of the field commanders of the DPR militia. Despite the scandalous image, Bezler's units enjoy the reputation of being the most disciplined in the Donbass militia. The legendary commander correspondents found on the threshold of the former Gorlovka OBOP. On the shoulder is a badge of “Berkut” with the motto “Russians don't abandon theirs”. Bezler, however, never served in the "Berkut". "This is the memory of those guys who were burned on the Maidan. They did their duty, and they were made extreme," explains Bezler.
- In what places are your subordinates fighting now?
- Near Artemovsk and Karlovka we are trying to stop the Ukrainian troops from advancing to Donetsk. We are also helping the Luhansk militia.
- What are your losses?
- During all the fights, my squad lost to the "two hundred" 5 people. During the heavy fighting near Karlovka, we have 2 dead in total. They have a lot. There is such a commander of military idiots - Semen Semenchenko. He loves to report on his Facebook, as in the battles near Karlovka he shot "partridges" (snipers), "Grad" destroyed, tanks, armored personnel carriers ... In fact, the tank is the cow that they burned in the barn. The armored personnel carriers and armored personnel carriers that they destroyed are the pig and the 2 pig. It is true, I really say. On another occasion, Semenchenko wrote that the Donbass battalion had destroyed an 7 man and an armored group in a battle, had captured an 11 man. But in fact, all armored vehicles are BMW H5, and the whole "squad" is 2 man. Our people arrived at the center of Artyomovsk, found where the “national gadgets” were sitting, fired two grenade launchers at the building and in the armored personnel carrier, and left. But Semenchenko writes that they "fought back from the superior forces of the enemy." Our "beha" suffered a little, is now being repaired. That's the whole armored group.
On the 2 day, our group of 3's cars attacked their roadblock. They burned 2 BTR, patted their infantry heavily. That's where our boy died, Umka. And 2 injured. This is a real loss. And what Semenchenko scribbling on his Facebook is a keyboard hero, I would advise him to buy brains at the market, they are being sold there now. And fighting - no way. Wherever I meet him, I constantly beat him.
A little later, Umka, who was killed near Artyomovsky, was brought to the yard of the OBOP. From the grief of the militias, from the depressed mood prevailing, it is clearly seen that each death for them is still not a statistic, but a tragedy. The militia’s wife and his two little sons come, they are sobbing over the coffin.
- Gorlovka was attacked by Ukrainian airplanes several times. Many dead? And how many planes shot down?
- Two dead: one civilian, in the village. Golmovsky, and one in the attack on the city police department - just came to our militia to sign up, even the weapon did not get yet. Kiev uses cluster bombs, I have fragments. Let the UN come here, I will give them.
How many planes shot down? Four. Not everyone can find the downed ones, because they are falling on the Ukrainian side. But we laid out photos of exhaust parachutes, 6 pieces found.
- In general, the Ukrainian army has big losses?
- Very big. We broke their checkpoint near Umansky (village in 20 km north-west of Donetsk). Attacked with a tank, BMP, BTR, anti-aircraft installations, a platoon of personnel. I participated in this attack. They said that they have a dead 4 person, this is an absolute lie. The road was littered with the corpses of soldiers. My tank crews said that they wouldn’t go further on the corpses. If it were alive, we would suppress them. And to fight the dead is stupid. And on the radio, we heard: "Clap, tick, go Russian tanks." Although there was only one tank. And in our battle there was only a wounded person - the commander of the group with the call sign "North".
- How is it that such serious battles take place, do you report on the losses of the enemy and their burned equipment, and do you have such losses so low?
- Our commanders on Karlovka are very literate, in particular the same North. Trenches were dug, mined areas to which the Ukrainian part. Some lowlands were even intentionally flooded, so that it was difficult to pass through them. We are a whole of their battalion led to the ambush. And they hit the flank with heavy machine guns, extinguished all their offensive. They have big losses. They do not enter into a direct clash - they are afraid. Work out "Gradami". At the time of the "Gradov" division or buried in the ground (in the trenches), goes into the cracks, or moves away from the position. (He greets the rewound fighter: “Handsome. This is our baseball player. Grenades are beaten off by hand.” “Oh, sorry, there was no stick!” - he laughs off).
“Do you feel sorry for the dead Ukrainian soldiers?” There are also many conscripts.
- Not. Nobody called them here. Everyone chooses for themselves - a woman, fate, the road. They chose. Although I had cases when I did not allow to beat a convoy of conscripts, 18-year-old boys. He talked with the prisoners - no training, they are thrown into this meat grinder. On our side, people are fighting for their land. There - it is not clear why. There were prisoners whom we simply fattened because they are hungry and cold. All this rag, their form, I burned, because I was afraid of unsanitary conditions. Laundered them in the bath, dressed in their own Ukrainian form, only new - we captured the car with the form.
Talk to the prisoners of Kirovohrad, they will tell you how, when they arrive, the soldiers ’generals build on the parade ground in a new uniform, as soon as the general leaves - change clothes back, and they go for money and buy it.
If they surrender - no questions, calmly send to the mothers. Here you are, a prisoner of war of the Ukrainian army (pointing to a man who washes the floor) - they walk quietly and live in normal conditions. But only the first shot is heard - the National Guard, Right Sector, Dnipro, Donbass and other riffraff ... We do not take the Natsik into law. The Armed Forces of Ukraine - no problem.
- Do you have many prisoners now and are you changing them for your own?
- 14 people. In particular, the 2 paratrooper of the 25 th Novomoskovsk brigade, the 6 man - the 72 th separate mechanized and 3 special forces Kirovograd with the commander of the group.
We gave alfovtsev for Gubarev. Then I gave Lieutenant-Colonel Roman Svitan, an "Afghan" pilot and assistant to the governor of Taruta, just because Mr. Ruban asked me about it. This is his friend, with whom they studied together. Then I released 8 militiamen and 6 border guards. I want to change the rest for the wife of our fighter Olga Kulygin, whose only fault is that she is the wife of the militia. So, if the Ukrainian government remembers that they have soldiers and officers, and not meat, which they send here for slaughter, then I will give these 14 people.
- Another video appeared in the network, where you shoot two prisoners of war. Allegedly you will shoot until you give Kulygin. Was it a real shot?
- Well, one of those shot in front of you (displays Vasily Budik, a journalist from Gorlovka taken prisoner for connections with the Right Sector). The second was a local colonel of the SBU, also our prisoner. Blank cartridges. Purpose of the video? Motivate the Ukrainian government to fulfill its obligations. Show them how it really can be.
- Has it happened that the prisoners went to fight on your side?
- Yes, 2 commandos from Kirovograd are fighting. There are guys from the 95 airborne brigade, who came out with a weapon at the checkpoint and are also fighting now. There are even from the so-called National Guard under, who switched to Karlovka. With weapons and military cards.
- You say: "We do not take Natsik prisoners." And who in the National Guard under more? Ideological nationalists or mobilized reservists?
“There are a lot of people who come to their homes: either 3, years in prison, or weapons, and you go to war.” To protect their families, they go to war. Their morale is not very. There is no desire to fight. The national guard is the battalion of the rabble. We encountered Donbas more than once. So-so. "Dnieper"? Also beat. Who do these battalions submit to? Yes to anyone. Nobody commands them, they alone. Collection of thieves and a gang of beggars. The Minister of the Interior is constantly denying them.
- Generally, on the other side there are some combat-ready parts?
- Of course have. There are those who professionally fight, there are no questions, worthy opponents, it is pleasant to fight with them. Cadre military. But in general, the army collapsed. It is compared with the Russian 1990-x beginning, when Chechnya began, but this is nonsense. If the deputy chief of staff, who is in my captivity, the maximum that can be done is to glue the cards together. If the battalion deputy commander does not know what an odometer is ... And how are officers appointed in the military registration and enlistment office among reservists? Built Is there a higher education? All you are an officer. All preparation - 3 shot at the shooting range. The degradation of officers of the Ukrainian army rolls over. They are unable to fulfill the given word. They do not understand what “officer honor” is, for them it is an empty sound. The headquarters do not understand who goes into what attacks, who obeys whom. Do not own the information.
“Are foreign mercenaries fighting against you?”
- Of course. In the attack on Artyomovsk, we removed the sign of the French Foreign Legion from the corpse. The face is not of Slavic nationality. And he moaned before he was finished off, not in Russian. Arab. The group that fought on Semenovka, the famous battle "450 against thirty" - there was English speech, it was a foreign weapon. We got into the hands of a GSG machine gun, which is not in service with Ukraine.
- Negotiations with Kiev are possible? Several times they started, but all the time unsuccessfully.
- Let's take the first step - we will change the prisoners of war. Then we will talk about something.
- Who is fighting with you? Are there many volunteers from Russia?
- The survivors of the massacre at the airport 26 in May, the Russians came to me - they are. From the Caucasus there. And so, on 90% - miners, workers. Gorlovka residents, Makeevka residents, Yenakiyevites, there are several local Chechens, I will not deny. There are Assyrians, there is even a Pakistani. While we form on a voluntary basis. Mobilization is not carried out.
- Do you coordinate your actions with Igor Strelkov? He created a military council.
- Completely.
- Is Alexander Khodakovsky on the board?
- Enters. With him is absolutely normal, good relationship. His people helped us in the battle of Karlovka. They came to the rescue, fought side by side with my people, for which I am very grateful to him. Brought ammunition. People follow him, they believe him. So there is preparation, authority.
- You are unflattering about the Ukrainian army. But why in this case the militia does not develop its success, does not occupy new cities? On the contrary, it is the enemy who is pushing you from the north of the Donetsk region, they are occupied by Krasny Liman, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka and Artyomovsk.
- There is a point of no return, after which you can start to do something. That's when the enemy begins to run out of steam and burrow, then you can attack. At the moment they are trying to attack. For the time being, it is time for us to knock out their living force. Bleed in terms of ammunition. Under Karlovka, every day for a month they threshed our positions with Grads, mortars, howitzers. What money did they throw out to plow up potato fields and a dam? How many they threw there personnel, who left the "two hundred" and wounded?
- And when will this point come? In a week, month, half a year?
- I do not know. I am not a prophet. When it will be seen that they cease to conduct active actions, they begin to dig in. When will freeze. There was no planting season in Ukraine, there will be no harvesting. The country owes billions for gas. The tractor drivers, who must plow the fields, are currently burning in tanks. Combines are dying under Karlovka. Ukraine’s resources are running out.
- Tell me something about yourself. Is it true that you fought in hot spots, particularly in Afghanistan and Chechnya?
- These are the affairs of bygone days, the allegiance of old times deep. I will not talk about it. After resigning from the Armed Forces of Russia, I returned to Ukraine, here is my homeland. I myself a Simferopol citizen, was born there, grew up, finished school. My father was born in the Crimea, in the Russian Crimea, in 1937, the Crimea was always Russian territory. Got to Ukraine, because Khrushchev decided to do so. No one asked the people of Crimea. And after the ideology that Kiev is currently preaching, living with the fascists in one country is not at all interesting.
My grandfather fought with the Nazis. My grandfather’s brother Bandera was killed in the Kirovograd region, where my mother is from. So I have personal bills with them.
Last year, he retired from the security holding, went home to the Crimea. When the events began, he was there from the beginning. Commanded a company of militia. The tasks were different, including taking by storm Ukrainian military units. Recently I received a medal for the Crimea and the cross.
- How did you get to Gorlovka?
- I have been in Gorlovka for a long time. He worked as a security chief at the Gorlovsky Kirov Machine-Building Plant. By the way, many of the guys who worked in my submission, now in the militia. There are many interesting things on the Internet that tell about trading with some kind of fence. This is nonsense complete nonsense. I headed the funeral services of Gorlovka in the entire 4 month. My friend asked me to restore order, because there theft and nepotism flourished. I headed. Over the month of 4, which I managed, the company's profit exceeded the annual income for the previous year. But it seemed to Mr. Klep (the mayor of Gorlovka) and his first deputy chairman, Vadim Isakov, that the money was not going there, in the wrong pocket. Every month I was offered 20 thousand hryvnia to bring in a specific room. According to 10 thousands from each cemetery, from grief of people. Now the mayor of the city is sitting with me. Nagolo shaved, dressed in military uniform. And returns the debts that he stole. That's when the roads in Gorlovka for the money that he stole, will be made so that you can drive a Mercedes and a glass of water does not stir, let it go. Only first I make asphalt throw under the rink. And at the moment the thief should be in prison.
- That is, formally, Eugene Klep remains the mayor of Gorlovka?
- He has the right to sign, stamp. He makes all the important decisions. He is elected to this post and works for the good of the city. All banks work in the city, even PrivatBank, which announced awards for our heads. All pensions and social benefits go through PrivatBank. Therefore, no one burned it. Everything is working. Only pharmacies that produced amphetamine stopped working. People who produced drugs - they are not in the city. All taxes remain in the city, in Kiev, we do not list anything. For the militiamen who left the enterprises in the militia, wages remain. In the market "Alexandria" for merchants, the rent is 1 hryvnia per month. Let people work. Time is hard, and it is simply impossible to pay at prices set by the mayoralty - 3500 hryvnias from a seat.
- And this story with the local deputy Vladimir Rybak, who disappeared here and then was found in Slavyansk with a ripped belly?
“If I wanted Rybak to disappear, I would make sure that no one ever finds him.” Secondly, I personally knew Volodya Rybak, very often he turned to him as a deputy. We worked with him together. Our only task was (on the day of his disappearance) - not to give him the flag, and no more. The flag did not give him a break. And then ... The fisherman was harmless. Except for making some noise and tearing flags ... That's it. Why should I kill him? He did not bother us. So this is a provocation to cast a shadow on us. They throw a body in Slavyansk, start making noise on all Ukrainian channels. And further. How was he kidnapped? Witnesses saw: he got into an unknown car with only two people. We draw conclusions - he knew these people, and secondly, he did not feel fear. You can see another video where he calls the bastards wearing three-thousand-dollar crocodile-leather shoes from the “Batkivschyna” gentlemen. Fisherman has always been against all. As in that cartoon - "Baba Yaga against." Here he was always opposed.
- You became famous when a video appeared about the seizure of the Gorel militia. There you build all the policemen in front of you and present yourself as a lieutenant colonel of the Russian army. Why was this done?
- The video was posted with bills. I told them: "The retired lieutenant colonel of the Russian army". The word "retired" was cut out. Why did I say that? I did not want people to be put on their knees, as they wanted to do. So that the corridor of shame for the police was not. The people wanted to do it, but did not. Therefore, the police are now with us. Berkutov people are fighting, and not one. And in the city and the police, and traffic police work.

Overview of the combat situation of the militia
“In the Amvrosiyivka region, a cluster of scattered pieces of dill is observed - the result of Marinovka’s morning release.
There is evidence that the separate divisions of the junta, in an attempt to escape from the Saurovsky boiler, run, throwing off camouflage and personal weapons, almost in their underpants. Who has civilian clothes - dress up in the hope of being lost among the civilian population. In Lugansk, the enemy spotter is still strained, swaddled and eliminated.

Message from the militia
“Two Russian paratroopers were indeed killed. Moreover, it was not a shelling from abroad. A group of Ukrainian militants (presumably the Right Sector or the National Guard) turned out to be on the territory of the Russian Federation (unknown or by accident) 2 of which were killed. Militias worked for the attackers after leaving the Russian territory, most of the attackers were eliminated. Some details have been asked not to divulge, but in general, the guilty have been punished and are already warming the land.
In the Gukovo region, the Russian side again came under fire (mortars and allegedly incomplete packages of the MLRS), while there is no information about the victims, some people were evacuated (there is a refugee camp near the border), observers point out that assumes the presence of victims. Of course, these attacks have no military significance, the impotent rage of punishers suffering defeat is understandable, given the fact that they did not have long to be near the border. "

He himself with his shoulder crushed by SVD, but commands without fail. Appeal is read out by another person. He will introduce himself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-fx83vw8KU

Militiamen from Slavyansk report
"On Monday, some of the ukrov punishers began to leave Slavyansk. As we understand, their position on the approaches to the capital of the DPR is really bad if they are sent to Donetsk even from Slavyansk. But this is only a part - the main fascists remain. It’s hard to quantify them in the city calculate, since all of them are predominantly located in the area of SATU (Slavic Aerotechnical School), where the territory is not equipped for prying eyes ...
As if we hint to our militiamen who have already had a saving and rapid "drying": hit, guys, only with a SUPERFLAST ingress, around residential areas ... Let the city donate several high-rise dormitory buildings (there are no local residents in them now ), but freed from this evil ... Dill aktivnichayut and at checkpoints.
Happy They check everything: the documents, the contents of the trunk, the salons ... Some are trying to search. After 19-00 there is a curfew in the city, at this time there’s nothing to do with it, Slavyansk is empty, there are gate-and-doors "locked". Monkeys with grenades and ukroshevrons drink vodka, pardon, vodka at the posts ... After that, our partisans visit them "for a visit" ... Well, you know, the meetings are unfriendly, and in our favor ... At night, we regularly shoot enemy positions. Last night such wonderful sounds were heard - the ears rejoiced!
Our understanding that the junta is doing everything so that the residents of Slavyansk do not return to their homeland is again confirmed. That was the case the other day. Men-Slavs come to the city council. And there already work "imported" (although some local work). So, the men say, they say, is it possible to get a job to rebuild the city? There is a lot to rebuild, repair, raise from the ashes ... They are told: yes, of course, the work - with a shaft. Come. A bowl of soup we will give you. But the salary and employment - no. We have our own experts! In the same way, ukry is “settled” and workers of the state seat are “imported specialists”. That is, local residents are dismissed, denying the right to work !!!
On Monday, the chastisers brought humanitarian aid - sugar and flour to the neighboring Bylbasovka. Wholesale, so to speak. Left in the village council. They said, they say, it should be distributed among all the inhabitants of the village. Residents calculated: in order to share the "present" among all those currently living in the village, each should be given 250 grams of flour and 250 grams of sugar. These are the "ukrovskie rations". And near the railway station the "sculptors" erected something similar to a defensive barricade: a platform with a hole for a machine gun. It is not clear where and at whom they are going to shoot here ... On the trains? Anything can be ... You look, one of these days we will hear in the newshow Russian troops fired at the Slavyansk-Kharkov train from the territory of the railway station of Slavyansk itself) But on the whole we hold on.

Explanation from Strelkov Igor Ivanovich
Ukrainian servicemen who do not want to fight for the junta:
"We must contact the commandant's office of the militia. If the prisoners voluntarily surrender, they will be provided accommodation and food according to the norms of the militia after the reconnaissance survey. After that, they will be able to decide for themselves whether to go home or stay in the accommodation centers until the end of hostilities. Forcing them to join no one will be in the militia. "

Large review of the combat situation in all the most significant battlegrounds for the past day
"DNR. South of Donetsk-Saur-Grave (now it is one operation). After taking Marinovka, the militia virtually blocked the neck of the Southern boiler. Violent battles went on all night, all day, and continue now. It is almost impossible to slip through the day by punitive remnants. If there is a chance, then only at night and then, if lucky not to run into a mine or militiamen. Seeing the hopelessness of the situation, some of the junta’s soldiers began to cross the border with Russia and surrender. The remaining parts of the boiler were cut into several small boilers. Iryukovo. Their fate is predetermined. Others have accumulated near Kozhevny. They may try to break through at night, or surrender. Punishers today threw all they had on hand to help the cauldron. Aviation (with the loss of two Su-25) struck Saur. Despite this, the militiamen have difficulty, but compress the ring of the environment.
A very alarming bell for the junta sounded south of Donetsk. For two days already, the militia have advanced in this direction, testing the punitive defenses (which has now weakened in this area). This morning a blow was struck at the checkpoint in sec. Light. The DRG militia unexpectedly attacked this roadblock. As a result, the checkpoint punitive left. Losses to 50 people and a few pieces of equipment. Now the junta must decide: either try to save the remnants of the southern boiler or .... get a new boiler. A strike through Starobeshevo (and the village of Svetloye is located a few kilometers from this district center) on Komsomolskoye will cut Amvrosiyivka from the main forces. And what will be saved again, will be in the boiler with "appendage."
Karlovka. Attacks punitive clearly exhausted. Suspended reinforcements of the militia are fully capable of not only successfully repelling all attacks, but can also counterattack on occasion.
Lysychansk-Rubizhne-Sverdlovsk. Apparently, the punitive attacks are running out here. But so far it is impossible to say this with confidence. As usual, the garrison performs the tasks of constricting parts of the punishers and sending the DRG over the enemy’s rear.
Lnr
Lugansk. Punishers are slowly but surely retreating to their initial (before the July offensive) positions. They hold Metalist as a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Donets and pull up reserves (either from Slavyansk or from near Severodonetsk) to the Happiness region, where strong battles take place. Apparently, the maximum task that is put to the parts of the junta is to hold these two key points (for the shelling of Lugansk). The airport is left to itself. The likelihood of his deblockade is rapidly heading towards zero. But counterattacks of punishers in some areas (they actually pulled their grouping back into a fist, except for the column that went south and .... did not return) are quite possible.
Krasnodon. Residents enjoy silence. Finally, punitive rejected and crushed. "Humanitarian Aid" can now go quietly and in ever-increasing numbers.
Findings. Southern boiler in fact did them. Part of the punitive forces at night and in the morning was able to escape. True, they are no longer military units. Most of the equipment and drugs remained in the boiler forever. Those who did not have time to slip, I sympathize. It's time to think about surrender (Strelkov set the conditions) before it is too late. Looks like all the reserves of the militia are thrown south. The quickest destruction of the southern group is a priority. Therefore, the airports are left to themselves. They are task number two (or three). The configuration of the front line makes you think more about the new boiler (in the Amvrosiivka area). The next couple of days will show how realistic this is. Punishers in this area urgently need a regrouping, but due to constant roundabout maneuvers and strikes by the militia, it cannot do this, so in any case it will have to roll back to the west, losing soldiers, equipment and equipment. At the northern section while calm. The punishers have no forces for a powerful strike, the militias have not yet (all in the south). But after the stripping of the southern group, the militias have options, and the punishers have another problem. "

Today was a very quiet night, compared with what was happening earlier in Lugansk. But the retreated ukrovoyaki beat at Metallist settlement from the region of the city of Happiness, or where they are still stuck there. In the village of something burning, visible clouds of smoke.

When I asked what he was going to do, he received the answer" ticking. "Everything would be fine, the usual situation. You can’t be surprised by such letters or such answers. Only one “but.” March 1 at the rally he argued with foaming at the mouth that he had to go to defend the country (understandably from Russia). And he would volunteer if necessary (there’s a chance and ...). 4.5 month has passed. The result is obvious.
This I do not "banter". They just ask me a lot about how the mood has changed in the city. This shtrishok. And such small strishkov I already collected a whole car. Svidomye all the time I am convinced that nothing has changed, that all Ukrainian citizens are just waiting for the opportunity to serve Nazism.

Another mortar battery was found that shot at us. We must deal with her too. Several pieces of equipment escaped from us from the village. One of the heights was defended by three enemy tanks, in the village itself there were four infantry fighting vehicles, one Hammer and an armored troop-carrier. Most have gone.

“I want to inform that the retreat of ukrov from Izvarino’s 72, 79 airborne and 24 mechanized divisions is gradually turning to flight. Panic sentiments by telephones and other means of communication are distributed by the mass media from relatives in the media.
So the "air offensive" ukrov - it's just a loud bunch in a puddle.
At the Ukrainian checkpoint Izvarino, the word "Ukraine" has been converted into a "ruin", the flags of "LNR" and the USSR hang.
14: 40 (MSK) Fighting began in the Metallist area (a suburb of Lugansk).
From the city of Happiness, the National Assembly has taken most of the armored vehicles to New Aydar.
Another wave is coming to Saur-Grave. And when ukrov Su-24 run out? According to them, anti-aircraft guns in Snezhniy (+ MANPADS) have already worked, before that at least one Dryer had seriously undermined health during previous raids.
The fact that an attempt was made on the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov is a fake. In Slavyansk he is alive and well. Stuffing to delay the attention of citizens from the defeat of the Ukrainian army in the southern "gut."

Interview with the commander of Gorlovka Igor Bezler
Igor Bezler with the call sign "Bes" is the commandant of the city of Gorlovka and the most mysterious of the field commanders of the DPR militia. Despite the scandalous image, Bezler's units enjoy the reputation of being the most disciplined in the Donbass militia. The legendary commander correspondents found on the threshold of the former Gorlovka OBOP. On the shoulder is a badge of “Berkut” with the motto “Russians don't abandon theirs”. Bezler, however, never served in the "Berkut". "This is the memory of those guys who were burned on the Maidan. They did their duty, and they were made extreme," explains Bezler.
- In what places are your subordinates fighting now?
- Near Artemovsk and Karlovka we are trying to stop the Ukrainian troops from advancing to Donetsk. We are also helping the Luhansk militia.
- What are your losses?
- During all the fights, my squad lost to the "two hundred" 5 people. During the heavy fighting near Karlovka, we have 2 dead in total. They have a lot. There is such a commander of military idiots - Semen Semenchenko. He loves to report on his Facebook, as in the battles near Karlovka he shot "partridges" (snipers), "Grad" destroyed, tanks, armored personnel carriers ... In fact, the tank is the cow that they burned in the barn. The armored personnel carriers and armored personnel carriers that they destroyed are the pig and the 2 pig. It is true, I really say. On another occasion, Semenchenko wrote that the Donbass battalion had destroyed an 7 man and an armored group in a battle, had captured an 11 man. But in fact, all armored vehicles are BMW H5, and the whole "squad" is 2 man. Our people arrived at the center of Artyomovsk, found where the “national gadgets” were sitting, fired two grenade launchers at the building and in the armored personnel carrier, and left. But Semenchenko writes that they "fought back from the superior forces of the enemy." Our "beha" suffered a little, is now being repaired. That's the whole armored group.
On the 2 day, our group of 3's cars attacked their roadblock. They burned 2 BTR, patted their infantry heavily. That's where our boy died, Umka. And 2 injured. This is a real loss. And what Semenchenko scribbling on his Facebook is a keyboard hero, I would advise him to buy brains at the market, they are being sold there now. And fighting - no way. Wherever I meet him, I constantly beat him.
A little later, Umka, who was killed near Artyomovsky, was brought to the yard of the OBOP. From the grief of the militias, from the depressed mood prevailing, it is clearly seen that each death for them is still not a statistic, but a tragedy. The militia’s wife and his two little sons come, they are sobbing over the coffin.
- Gorlovka was attacked by Ukrainian airplanes several times. Many dead? And how many planes shot down?
- Two dead: one civilian, in the village. Golmovsky, and one in the attack on the city police department - just came to our militia to sign up, even the weapon did not get yet. Kiev uses cluster bombs, I have fragments. Let the UN come here, I will give them.
How many planes shot down? Four. Not everyone can find the downed ones, because they are falling on the Ukrainian side. But we laid out photos of exhaust parachutes, 6 pieces found.
- In general, the Ukrainian army has big losses?
- Very big. We broke their checkpoint near Umansky (village in 20 km north-west of Donetsk). Attacked with a tank, BMP, BTR, anti-aircraft installations, a platoon of personnel. I participated in this attack. They said that they have a dead 4 person, this is an absolute lie. The road was littered with the corpses of soldiers. My tank crews said that they wouldn’t go further on the corpses. If it were alive, we would suppress them. And to fight the dead is stupid. And on the radio, we heard: "Clap, tick, go Russian tanks." Although there was only one tank. And in our battle there was only a wounded person - the commander of the group with the call sign "North".
- How is it that such serious battles take place, do you report on the losses of the enemy and their burned equipment, and do you have such losses so low?
- Our commanders on Karlovka are very literate, in particular the same North. Trenches were dug, mined areas to which the Ukrainian part. Some lowlands were even intentionally flooded, so that it was difficult to pass through them. We are a whole of their battalion led to the ambush. And they hit the flank with heavy machine guns, extinguished all their offensive. They have big losses. They do not enter into a direct clash - they are afraid. Work out "Gradami". At the time of the "Gradov" division or buried in the ground (in the trenches), goes into the cracks, or moves away from the position. (He greets the rewound fighter: “Handsome. This is our baseball player. Grenades are beaten off by hand.” “Oh, sorry, there was no stick!” - he laughs off).
“Do you feel sorry for the dead Ukrainian soldiers?” There are also many conscripts.
- Not. Nobody called them here. Everyone chooses for themselves - a woman, fate, the road. They chose. Although I had cases when I did not allow to beat a convoy of conscripts, 18-year-old boys. He talked with the prisoners - no training, they are thrown into this meat grinder. On our side, people are fighting for their land. There - it is not clear why. There were prisoners whom we simply fattened because they are hungry and cold. All this rag, their form, I burned, because I was afraid of unsanitary conditions. Laundered them in the bath, dressed in their own Ukrainian form, only new - we captured the car with the form.
Talk to the prisoners of Kirovohrad, they will tell you how, when they arrive, the soldiers ’generals build on the parade ground in a new uniform, as soon as the general leaves - change clothes back, and they go for money and buy it.
If they surrender - no questions, calmly send to the mothers. Here you are, a prisoner of war of the Ukrainian army (pointing to a man who washes the floor) - they walk quietly and live in normal conditions. But only the first shot is heard - the National Guard, Right Sector, Dnipro, Donbass and other riffraff ... We do not take the Natsik into law. The Armed Forces of Ukraine - no problem.
- Do you have many prisoners now and are you changing them for your own?
- 14 people. In particular, the 2 paratrooper of the 25 th Novomoskovsk brigade, the 6 man - the 72 th separate mechanized and 3 special forces Kirovograd with the commander of the group.
We gave alfovtsev for Gubarev. Then I gave Lieutenant-Colonel Roman Svitan, an "Afghan" pilot and assistant to the governor of Taruta, just because Mr. Ruban asked me about it. This is his friend, with whom they studied together. Then I released 8 militiamen and 6 border guards. I want to change the rest for the wife of our fighter Olga Kulygin, whose only fault is that she is the wife of the militia. So, if the Ukrainian government remembers that they have soldiers and officers, and not meat, which they send here for slaughter, then I will give these 14 people.
- Another video appeared in the network, where you shoot two prisoners of war. Allegedly you will shoot until you give Kulygin. Was it a real shot?
- Well, one of those shot in front of you (displays Vasily Budik, a journalist from Gorlovka taken prisoner for connections with the Right Sector). The second was a local colonel of the SBU, also our prisoner. Blank cartridges. Purpose of the video? Motivate the Ukrainian government to fulfill its obligations. Show them how it really can be.
- Has it happened that the prisoners went to fight on your side?
- Yes, 2 commandos from Kirovograd are fighting. There are guys from the 95 airborne brigade, who came out with a weapon at the checkpoint and are also fighting now. There are even from the so-called National Guard under, who switched to Karlovka. With weapons and military cards.
- You say: "We do not take Natsik prisoners." And who in the National Guard under more? Ideological nationalists or mobilized reservists?
“There are a lot of people who come to their homes: either 3, years in prison, or weapons, and you go to war.” To protect their families, they go to war. Their morale is not very. There is no desire to fight. The national guard is the battalion of the rabble. We encountered Donbas more than once. So-so. "Dnieper"? Also beat. Who do these battalions submit to? Yes to anyone. Nobody commands them, they alone. Collection of thieves and a gang of beggars. The Minister of the Interior is constantly denying them.
- Generally, on the other side there are some combat-ready parts?
- Of course have. There are those who professionally fight, there are no questions, worthy opponents, it is pleasant to fight with them. Cadre military. But in general, the army collapsed. It is compared with the Russian 1990-x beginning, when Chechnya began, but this is nonsense. If the deputy chief of staff, who is in my captivity, the maximum that can be done is to glue the cards together. If the battalion deputy commander does not know what an odometer is ... And how are officers appointed in the military registration and enlistment office among reservists? Built Is there a higher education? All you are an officer. All preparation - 3 shot at the shooting range. The degradation of officers of the Ukrainian army rolls over. They are unable to fulfill the given word. They do not understand what “officer honor” is, for them it is an empty sound. The headquarters do not understand who goes into what attacks, who obeys whom. Do not own the information.
“Are foreign mercenaries fighting against you?”
- Of course. In the attack on Artyomovsk, we removed the sign of the French Foreign Legion from the corpse. The face is not of Slavic nationality. And he moaned before he was finished off, not in Russian. Arab. The group that fought on Semenovka, the famous battle "450 against thirty" - there was English speech, it was a foreign weapon. We got into the hands of a GSG machine gun, which is not in service with Ukraine.
- Negotiations with Kiev are possible? Several times they started, but all the time unsuccessfully.
- Let's take the first step - we will change the prisoners of war. Then we will talk about something.
- Who is fighting with you? Are there many volunteers from Russia?
- The survivors of the massacre at the airport 26 in May, the Russians came to me - they are. From the Caucasus there. And so, on 90% - miners, workers. Gorlovka residents, Makeevka residents, Yenakiyevites, there are several local Chechens, I will not deny. There are Assyrians, there is even a Pakistani. While we form on a voluntary basis. Mobilization is not carried out.
- Do you coordinate your actions with Igor Strelkov? He created a military council.
- Completely.
- Is Alexander Khodakovsky on the board?
- Enters. With him is absolutely normal, good relationship. His people helped us in the battle of Karlovka. They came to the rescue, fought side by side with my people, for which I am very grateful to him. Brought ammunition. People follow him, they believe him. So there is preparation, authority.
- You are unflattering about the Ukrainian army. But why in this case the militia does not develop its success, does not occupy new cities? On the contrary, it is the enemy who is pushing you from the north of the Donetsk region, they are occupied by Krasny Liman, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka and Artyomovsk.
- There is a point of no return, after which you can start to do something. That's when the enemy begins to run out of steam and burrow, then you can attack. At the moment they are trying to attack. For the time being, it is time for us to knock out their living force. Bleed in terms of ammunition. Under Karlovka, every day for a month they threshed our positions with Grads, mortars, howitzers. What money did they throw out to plow up potato fields and a dam? How many they threw there personnel, who left the "two hundred" and wounded?
- And when will this point come? In a week, month, half a year?
- I do not know. I am not a prophet. When it will be seen that they cease to conduct active actions, they begin to dig in. When will freeze. There was no planting season in Ukraine, there will be no harvesting. The country owes billions for gas. The tractor drivers, who must plow the fields, are currently burning in tanks. Combines are dying under Karlovka. Ukraine’s resources are running out.
- Tell me something about yourself. Is it true that you fought in hot spots, particularly in Afghanistan and Chechnya?
- These are the affairs of bygone days, the allegiance of old times deep. I will not talk about it. After resigning from the Armed Forces of Russia, I returned to Ukraine, here is my homeland. I myself a Simferopol citizen, was born there, grew up, finished school. My father was born in the Crimea, in the Russian Crimea, in 1937, the Crimea was always Russian territory. Got to Ukraine, because Khrushchev decided to do so. No one asked the people of Crimea. And after the ideology that Kiev is currently preaching, living with the fascists in one country is not at all interesting.
My grandfather fought with the Nazis. My grandfather’s brother Bandera was killed in the Kirovograd region, where my mother is from. So I have personal bills with them.
Last year, he retired from the security holding, went home to the Crimea. When the events began, he was there from the beginning. Commanded a company of militia. The tasks were different, including taking by storm Ukrainian military units. Recently I received a medal for the Crimea and the cross.
- How did you get to Gorlovka?
- I have been in Gorlovka for a long time. He worked as a security chief at the Gorlovsky Kirov Machine-Building Plant. By the way, many of the guys who worked in my submission, now in the militia. There are many interesting things on the Internet that tell about trading with some kind of fence. This is nonsense complete nonsense. I headed the funeral services of Gorlovka in the entire 4 month. My friend asked me to restore order, because there theft and nepotism flourished. I headed. Over the month of 4, which I managed, the company's profit exceeded the annual income for the previous year. But it seemed to Mr. Klep (the mayor of Gorlovka) and his first deputy chairman, Vadim Isakov, that the money was not going there, in the wrong pocket. Every month I was offered 20 thousand hryvnia to bring in a specific room. According to 10 thousands from each cemetery, from grief of people. Now the mayor of the city is sitting with me. Nagolo shaved, dressed in military uniform. And returns the debts that he stole. That's when the roads in Gorlovka for the money that he stole, will be made so that you can drive a Mercedes and a glass of water does not stir, let it go. Only first I make asphalt throw under the rink. And at the moment the thief should be in prison.
- That is, formally, Eugene Klep remains the mayor of Gorlovka?
- He has the right to sign, stamp. He makes all the important decisions. He is elected to this post and works for the good of the city. All banks work in the city, even PrivatBank, which announced awards for our heads. All pensions and social benefits go through PrivatBank. Therefore, no one burned it. Everything is working. Only pharmacies that produced amphetamine stopped working. People who produced drugs - they are not in the city. All taxes remain in the city, in Kiev, we do not list anything. For the militiamen who left the enterprises in the militia, wages remain. In the market "Alexandria" for merchants, the rent is 1 hryvnia per month. Let people work. Time is hard, and it is simply impossible to pay at prices set by the mayoralty - 3500 hryvnias from a seat.
- And this story with the local deputy Vladimir Rybak, who disappeared here and then was found in Slavyansk with a ripped belly?
“If I wanted Rybak to disappear, I would make sure that no one ever finds him.” Secondly, I personally knew Volodya Rybak, very often he turned to him as a deputy. We worked with him together. Our only task was (on the day of his disappearance) - not to give him the flag, and no more. The flag did not give him a break. And then ... The fisherman was harmless. Except for making some noise and tearing flags ... That's it. Why should I kill him? He did not bother us. So this is a provocation to cast a shadow on us. They throw a body in Slavyansk, start making noise on all Ukrainian channels. And further. How was he kidnapped? Witnesses saw: he got into an unknown car with only two people. We draw conclusions - he knew these people, and secondly, he did not feel fear. You can see another video where he calls the bastards wearing three-thousand-dollar crocodile-leather shoes from the “Batkivschyna” gentlemen. Fisherman has always been against all. As in that cartoon - "Baba Yaga against." Here he was always opposed.
- You became famous when a video appeared about the seizure of the Gorel militia. There you build all the policemen in front of you and present yourself as a lieutenant colonel of the Russian army. Why was this done?
- The video was posted with bills. I told them: "The retired lieutenant colonel of the Russian army". The word "retired" was cut out. Why did I say that? I did not want people to be put on their knees, as they wanted to do. So that the corridor of shame for the police was not. The people wanted to do it, but did not. Therefore, the police are now with us. Berkutov people are fighting, and not one. And in the city and the police, and traffic police work.

Overview of the combat situation of the militia
“In the Amvrosiyivka region, a cluster of scattered pieces of dill is observed - the result of Marinovka’s morning release.
There is evidence that the separate divisions of the junta, in an attempt to escape from the Saurovsky boiler, run, throwing off camouflage and personal weapons, almost in their underpants. Who has civilian clothes - dress up in the hope of being lost among the civilian population. In Lugansk, the enemy spotter is still strained, swaddled and eliminated.

Message from the militia
“Two Russian paratroopers were indeed killed. Moreover, it was not a shelling from abroad. A group of Ukrainian militants (presumably the Right Sector or the National Guard) turned out to be on the territory of the Russian Federation (unknown or by accident) 2 of which were killed. Militias worked for the attackers after leaving the Russian territory, most of the attackers were eliminated. Some details have been asked not to divulge, but in general, the guilty have been punished and are already warming the land.
In the Gukovo region, the Russian side again came under fire (mortars and allegedly incomplete packages of the MLRS), while there is no information about the victims, some people were evacuated (there is a refugee camp near the border), observers point out that assumes the presence of victims. Of course, these attacks have no military significance, the impotent rage of punishers suffering defeat is understandable, given the fact that they did not have long to be near the border. "

Militiamen from Slavyansk report
"On Monday, some of the ukrov punishers began to leave Slavyansk. As we understand, their position on the approaches to the capital of the DPR is really bad if they are sent to Donetsk even from Slavyansk. But this is only a part - the main fascists remain. It’s hard to quantify them in the city calculate, since all of them are predominantly located in the area of SATU (Slavic Aerotechnical School), where the territory is not equipped for prying eyes ...
As if we hint to our militiamen who have already had a saving and rapid "drying": hit, guys, only with a SUPERFLAST ingress, around residential areas ... Let the city donate several high-rise dormitory buildings (there are no local residents in them now ), but freed from this evil ... Dill aktivnichayut and at checkpoints.
Happy They check everything: the documents, the contents of the trunk, the salons ... Some are trying to search. After 19-00 there is a curfew in the city, at this time there’s nothing to do with it, Slavyansk is empty, there are gate-and-doors "locked". Monkeys with grenades and ukroshevrons drink vodka, pardon, vodka at the posts ... After that, our partisans visit them "for a visit" ... Well, you know, the meetings are unfriendly, and in our favor ... At night, we regularly shoot enemy positions. Last night such wonderful sounds were heard - the ears rejoiced!
Our understanding that the junta is doing everything so that the residents of Slavyansk do not return to their homeland is again confirmed. That was the case the other day. Men-Slavs come to the city council. And there already work "imported" (although some local work). So, the men say, they say, is it possible to get a job to rebuild the city? There is a lot to rebuild, repair, raise from the ashes ... They are told: yes, of course, the work - with a shaft. Come. A bowl of soup we will give you. But the salary and employment - no. We have our own experts! In the same way, ukry is “settled” and workers of the state seat are “imported specialists”. That is, local residents are dismissed, denying the right to work !!!
On Monday, the chastisers brought humanitarian aid - sugar and flour to the neighboring Bylbasovka. Wholesale, so to speak. Left in the village council. They said, they say, it should be distributed among all the inhabitants of the village. Residents calculated: in order to share the "present" among all those currently living in the village, each should be given 250 grams of flour and 250 grams of sugar. These are the "ukrovskie rations". And near the railway station the "sculptors" erected something similar to a defensive barricade: a platform with a hole for a machine gun. It is not clear where and at whom they are going to shoot here ... On the trains? Anything can be ... You look, one of these days we will hear in the newshow Russian troops fired at the Slavyansk-Kharkov train from the territory of the railway station of Slavyansk itself) But on the whole we hold on.

Explanation from Strelkov Igor Ivanovich
Ukrainian servicemen who do not want to fight for the junta:
"We must contact the commandant's office of the militia. If the prisoners voluntarily surrender, they will be provided accommodation and food according to the norms of the militia after the reconnaissance survey. After that, they will be able to decide for themselves whether to go home or stay in the accommodation centers until the end of hostilities. Forcing them to join no one will be in the militia. "

Large review of the combat situation in all the most significant battlegrounds for the past day
"DNR. South of Donetsk-Saur-Grave (now it is one operation). After taking Marinovka, the militia virtually blocked the neck of the Southern boiler. Violent battles went on all night, all day, and continue now. It is almost impossible to slip through the day by punitive remnants. If there is a chance, then only at night and then, if lucky not to run into a mine or militiamen. Seeing the hopelessness of the situation, some of the junta’s soldiers began to cross the border with Russia and surrender. The remaining parts of the boiler were cut into several small boilers. Iryukovo. Their fate is predetermined. Others have accumulated near Kozhevny. They may try to break through at night, or surrender. Punishers today threw all they had on hand to help the cauldron. Aviation (with the loss of two Su-25) struck Saur. Despite this, the militiamen have difficulty, but compress the ring of the environment.
A very alarming bell for the junta sounded south of Donetsk. For two days already, the militia have advanced in this direction, testing the punitive defenses (which has now weakened in this area). This morning a blow was struck at the checkpoint in sec. Light. The DRG militia unexpectedly attacked this roadblock. As a result, the checkpoint punitive left. Losses to 50 people and a few pieces of equipment. Now the junta must decide: either try to save the remnants of the southern boiler or .... get a new boiler. A strike through Starobeshevo (and the village of Svetloye is located a few kilometers from this district center) on Komsomolskoye will cut Amvrosiyivka from the main forces. And what will be saved again, will be in the boiler with "appendage."
Karlovka. Attacks punitive clearly exhausted. Suspended reinforcements of the militia are fully capable of not only successfully repelling all attacks, but can also counterattack on occasion.
Lysychansk-Rubizhne-Sverdlovsk. Apparently, the punitive attacks are running out here. But so far it is impossible to say this with confidence. As usual, the garrison performs the tasks of constricting parts of the punishers and sending the DRG over the enemy’s rear.
Lnr
Lugansk. Punishers are slowly but surely retreating to their initial (before the July offensive) positions. They hold Metalist as a bridgehead on the southern bank of the Donets and pull up reserves (either from Slavyansk or from near Severodonetsk) to the Happiness region, where strong battles take place. Apparently, the maximum task that is put to the parts of the junta is to hold these two key points (for the shelling of Lugansk). The airport is left to itself. The likelihood of his deblockade is rapidly heading towards zero. But counterattacks of punishers in some areas (they actually pulled their grouping back into a fist, except for the column that went south and .... did not return) are quite possible.
Krasnodon. Residents enjoy silence. Finally, punitive rejected and crushed. "Humanitarian Aid" can now go quietly and in ever-increasing numbers.
Findings. Southern boiler in fact did them. Part of the punitive forces at night and in the morning was able to escape. True, they are no longer military units. Most of the equipment and drugs remained in the boiler forever. Those who did not have time to slip, I sympathize. It's time to think about surrender (Strelkov set the conditions) before it is too late. Looks like all the reserves of the militia are thrown south. The quickest destruction of the southern group is a priority. Therefore, the airports are left to themselves. They are task number two (or three). The configuration of the front line makes you think more about the new boiler (in the Amvrosiivka area). The next couple of days will show how realistic this is. Punishers in this area urgently need a regrouping, but due to constant roundabout maneuvers and strikes by the militia, it cannot do this, so in any case it will have to roll back to the west, losing soldiers, equipment and equipment. At the northern section while calm. The punishers have no forces for a powerful strike, the militias have not yet (all in the south). But after the stripping of the southern group, the militias have options, and the punishers have another problem. "

"On the territory occupied by the Ukrainians in the villages of Zheltoye, Veselaya Gora, Stukalova Balka, they punished so many bodies that it stinks for kilometers. Nobody is going to take them away. They said we don’t need them, we don’t have them according to the documents."
Today was a very quiet night, compared with what was happening earlier in Lugansk. But the retreated ukrovoyaki beat at Metallist settlement from the region of the city of Happiness, or where they are still stuck there. In the village of something burning, visible clouds of smoke. And the most amazing thing: as soon as these hroi retreated, the shooting stopped in the quarters of Lugansk ".

A letter from a resident of Sumy
"I meet one friend today (38 years. Served in parts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). He received a letter of happiness from the military registration and enlistment office. When I asked what he was going to do, he received the answer" ticking. "Everything would be fine, the usual situation. You can’t be surprised by such letters or such answers. Only one “but.” March 1 at the rally he argued with foaming at the mouth that he had to go to defend the country (understandably from Russia). And he would volunteer if necessary (there’s a chance and ...). 4.5 month has passed. The result is obvious.
This I do not "banter". They just ask me a lot about how the mood has changed in the city. This shtrishok. And such small strishkov I already collected a whole car. Svidomye all the time I am convinced that nothing has changed, that all Ukrainian citizens are just waiting for the opportunity to serve Nazism. I usually do not enter into an argument with them (on this issue). What for. I understand perfectly well that it is they who do not convince me .... but themselves. The time will come and everything will fall into place. "
