Kiev government's statements that the Ukrainian forces have allegedly captured the DPR fighters and liberated Maryinka are false, the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko said today.
“I’m honestly amazed at Ukrainian media allegations about the number of POWs that they took and their boasts that we withdrew from Maryinka. You know, sometimes, they indulge in wishful thinking. Today, we’ve held all our positions in Maryinka, in the centre of the village. We hold the strategically important crossroads in Krasnogorovka. I believe that we haven’t broken any stipulation of the Minsk agreement,” – Alexander Zakharchenko said.
Today, Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko said that the Ukrainian forces had completely liberated Maryinka from the DPR army and captured 12 people, including the Russian citizens.
3. The first issue of the magazine “The gold stars of the heroes” was presented in the Donetsk People’s Republic on the 29th of May. The first issue is dedicated to outstanding commanders of the DPR army and the DPR officials: the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko, the DPR Defense Minister Vladimir Kononov, Arseniy Pavlov (“Motorola”), Mikhail Tolstykh (“Givi”), Akhra Avidzba (“Abkhaz”), and others.
“People should know their heroes and those who should be a hero. I’m sitting next to the people who do their best so that the residents of Donetsk could be calm. This magazine is a tribute to the people, whose actions speak louder than words,” – the DPR Defense Ministry spokesperson Eduard Basurin said.
Answering to the question, whether they consider themselves as heroes or not, Givi said “no”. Akhra Avidzba, the commander of the DPR international brigade “Pyatnashka”, said that he follows his mother’s brother’s example, who defended the freedom of his homeland.
“I don’t even consider myself as a warrior. I’m a civilian who had to take up arms. Drawing on the example of my uncle and my people, I know what the fight for the independence is like,” – Akhra Avidzba said.
The DPR Ministry of Information said that the next issues would contain the information about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, as well as homefront workers of 1941-1945 and 2014-2015.
