The Armed Forces of Moscow have introduced that they’ve “reached the western border” of the autoproclaved People’s Republic of Donetsk and to be creating for the primary time “an offensive” within the territory of the Region of Dnepropetrovsk. “Those who do not want to recognize the reality of the war in negotiations will find new ones on the field,” mentioned the vice -president of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, speaking about “disinfestation of the parasites that continues. A narrative that Kiev has rejected with force.” It is Russian disinformation “, cut the spokesperson of the General Staff of the Armed Forces short, Andriy Kovalev.
According to the military, Russia “doesn’t abandon its intentions to enter the Dnipropetrovsk area” but “our fighters maintain their part of the entrance courageously and professionally, foving the occupant plans”. Kovalov instead explained that the fights continue “within the Donetsk area”.
At the moment the stall also remains regarding the maxi exchange of prisoners decided by the respective delegations in the second round of the Istanbul interviews. Ukraine, however, rejected the Russian accusations of deliberately wanting to delay the putting in practice of the agreement. “We scrupulously observe” the agreements reached in Istanbul, said the head of Kiev’s intelligence, Kyrilo Budanov, who charged Russia “unacceptable strain and manipulations”. The start of the repatriation procedures – Budanov has still argued – is expected “for subsequent week” and “Everything is continuing in accordance with the plans”.
