UAF Tortured Own Soldier After Telephone Conversation With Relatives From DPR
Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ
7th June, 2016
According to intelligence reports, in Avdeevka, a fighter from the 16th punitive Ukrainian battalion was subjected to severe torture for talking on a cell phone with relatives living in the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, said Eduard Basurin to reporters.
"We have established that on the territory of a concrete structure plant in Avdeevka, a soldier from the 16th battalion of the 58th UAF brigade - Sergey Vyacheslavovich Kondratyuk - was illegally detained, who is suspected of cooperating with the DPR, just because he was speaking by phone with relatives from the territory of the Donetsk Republic. The detainee was brutally tortured – his fingers were heavily damaged by a hammer," said Basurin.
According to him, this case is not the first one in the ranks of the 16th battalion, but the 58th brigade command just recently became aware of numerous cases of ill-treatment by commanders towards their subordinates. Currently, internal closed proceedings are being conducted in the brigade, but its leadership doesn't want to report the incident to higher headquarters, and especially to let this outrageous behaviour to be highlighted in the press.
"If they so sadistically torture their subordinates, then what can we say about the shelling under their orders of residential areas of settlements of the Republic and the killing of peaceful civilians in the DPR. It is exactly because of these kinds of flayers that the war doesn't stop on the land of Donbass," stressed the representative of the operational command.

Zakharchenko: DPR can mobilize 40,000 experienced volunteers for offensive
June 7, 2016 -

Translated by J. Arnoldski
The Ukrainian force in Donbass now exceeds the size of the armed forces of the People’s Republics. However, the enemy should know that Donetsk has up to 40,000 experienced fighters in reserve on the territory of the DPR. This was stated by the head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharenko, at a press conference in commenting on the threat of the Ukrainian side going on an offensive.
According to him, the bet is put on volunteers who have combat experience.
“If mobilization is necessary, then of course. The enemy exceeds us in number and significantly exceeds our number of military vehicles and weapons. But as for mobilization…I don’t feel right about calling to the army 18 year-old boys with no preparation or training. I think that a call for volunteers would be announced. This could yield between 30,000 to 40,000 on our territory alone. These are those people who have already experienced combat. Well, if it will be necessary, then we will announce a mobilization,” Zakharchenko stated.

Kiev's loose cannon: Savchenko calls to drop Minsk, hold direct dialogue with DPR/LPR
June 7, 2016 -
Maksim Karpenko, PolitNavigator -
Translated by J. Arnoldski
The newfound people’s deputy and ex-Aidar fighter, Nadezhda Savchenko, has called for direct negotiations between deputies of the Verkhovna Rada and deputies from the DPR and LPR. She stated this live on “Radio Era” while in the area of the ATO as she called in and suggested three steps for “returning Donbass.”
“There are three steps. The first is extending sanctions against Russia, because Russia has not yet realized that it has to leave. The second is opting for direct communication with the DPR and LPR, as they position themselves, without the Minsk Agreements in order to gain access to a direct inner connection without third and fourth parties…Let Mr. Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky be positioned as people’s deputies of the LPR and DPR. As a deputy, I am ready to talk with them. The third step - let’s have some fun together and everything will go over. There is your third step,” Savchenko stated.
Earlier, the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, Vadim Rabinovich, claimed that the Nadezhda Savchenko had been pardoned by Russia in the hope that she could be handed off by the Kremlin to start a coup in Ukraine. “Putin has slipped us a coup in Ukraine for the holidays….Some kind of unique woman who maintained a hunger strike for two years and did not lose weight. The level of her oratory skills is unique and I don’t understand where this could have come from,” Rabinovich.

Pushilin: Elections are our defense against Kiev's new strategy of sabotage
June 6, 2016 -
Sergey Stepanov, PolitNavigator -
Translated by J. Arnoldski
The Ukrainian oligarchs have realized that Donbass cannot be taken by military force, so they’ve changed their strategy to sending in their agents. The Donetsk People’s Republic has decided to hold primaries in order to exclude a victory of Kiev’s henchmen in upcoming elections. This and more was discussed by the speaker of the People’s Council of the DPR, Denis Pushilin in an interview with PolitNavigator.
PolitNavigator: Alexander Zakharchenko has stated that primaries will be held in Donbass. What does this mean for the DPR?
Denis Pushilin: Preliminary voting will offer us the opportunity to identify the best and brightest candidates who will represent the republic in potential elections. They should take place insofar as the Minsk Agreements are fulfilled.
[On the other hand], we perfectly understand that in order to win on the battlefield, soldiers need to train.
PN: And who is going to be defeated?
DP: There are various threats in the political arena. The elections will be held on a majority system and candidates can be self-nominated. It is impossible to foresee everything, but we need to get ourselves in order so that representatives of the oligarchy or veiled represents of the parties on the other side of the contact line do not get in.
We know that, as is happening now, a fifth column has infiltrated us.
PN: Are representatives of the Ukrainian oligarchs trying to infiltrate the DPR?
DP: Insofar as it is becoming clear that Donetsk and Lugansk cannot be taken by force, and that all that is necessary is the fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements, the oligarchs are attempting to penetrate the existing organs of power in the republic.
This has been recorded, detected, and now the Ministry of State Security is at work.
PN: And what happens to such people?
DP: As a minimum, they are dismissed if nothing else is decided. You have to understand that they don’t have to do anything now. Perhaps this is a “long-term” game in which the priorities of the republic will be distorted and the realization of national projects will be sabotaged.
We need to fight corruption now. We have already managed to handle this to a certain extent, but it will return depending on whether the old elite will worm its way into the new government.
PN: Literally just the other day the Verkhovna Rada amended the Constitution and held a “judicial reform.” Why were voices in favor of this able to be found in the Ukrainian parliament while Poroshenko can’t even find the needed number of deputies to support the realization of the Minsk Agreements?
DP: Ukraine has not been a subject of decision-making for a long time already. We perfectly understand that if the West wanted to, then it would find levers of influence in order to make Kiev vote. If it was so demanded, then Kiev would vote for everything needed in the Verkhovna Rada, even in violation of the rules and ignoring the views and interests of the citizens of former Ukraine.
PN: Is there hope that in 2016 Ukraine will take all the necessary decisions in regards to elections in Donbass?
DP: The chances are virtually close to zero. I don’t see any intentions on the part of Kiev to reconcile positions with Donbass. In the framework of the subgroup on political issues, we are largely on the same levels of agreement as we were a year ago.
PN: So the Minsk Agreements could be extended again?
DP: This is quite likely.
PN: Have there been any changes to the positions of the Ukrainian side at the negotiations in Minsk?
DP: There have been no changes either for better or for worse. We are in a period of stagnation. The Ukrainian side has chosen a strategy of delay. And the frequent replacement of Kiev’s representatives at negotiations is connected with this.
PN: Alexander Zakharchenko is currently holding a whole series of conferences with the regions of the South-East. Does this yield positive effects?
DP: There is a huge demand for this. We see that with each new conference the number of questions increases. We are learning to model certain situations. For example, the SBU is raising noise that we are actually unknowingly helping to spread information about the upcoming “hot line.”
Dialogue is important. People are interested in what’s happening in the republics because the picture which is painted by Ukrainian media differs strongly from reality.
PN: It has already been announced that the next conference with Alexander Zakharchenko will be held with Zaporozhye. Why is this city important?
DP: All cities are important, but, in first place of course are those of Greater Novorossiya. But other regions are also important. I think that Alexander Vladimirovich Zakharchenko will hold “hot lines” with all of them.

Pushilin: Ukraine will rejoin Russia soon enough
May 31, 2016 -
Translated by J. Arnoldski
Ukraine’s regions will soon re-unify with Russia, stated the head of the National Council of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin.
“I am sure that the regions of Ukraine, in the near future, will have to think over what is more important for them - the idea of rabid nationalism, or the safety and welfare of their people. I think that first and foremost such questions should be put forth in Zaporozhya and Kharkov. It is logical that if they reject the ideas of rabid nationalism, then Ukraine will rejoin Russia,” Pushilin said in an interview with lenta.ru.
He added that the longer that Kiev fails to fulfill the Minsk Agreements, the more realistic this scenario will become.
According to Pushilin, the Ukrainian government is refraining from a large-scale offensive in Donbass because it fears resistance from the DPR and LPR.
“These are no longer disparate militia groups. The republics now have a fully-fledged army. Kiev knows that they will be be met with resistance, so it becomes smoother and easier to justify their hesitation with the claim that Russia could intervene,” he remarked and added that the republics are now discussing the fulfillment of the Minsk Agreements with Moscow.

Lavrov explains why Russia has not recognized DPR/LPR
May 31, 2016 -
Translated by J. Arnoldski
Behind closed doors, the West is now putting pressure on Kiev to fulfill the Minsk Agreements. If Russia “slams the door” and decides to recognize the DPR and LPR as separate states, then the Minsk Agreements could be forgotten. This opinion was expressed by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“The door could be slammed and an example could be taken from those who are behind such an ineptitude [to fulfill the Minsk Agreements] and use diplomatic and political instruments to start to threaten that we will recognize them, and that we will introduce sanctions,” Lavrov remarked.
“I am convinced that this would be counterproductive which, as a minimum, would mean losing the current, albeit “delicate” position of pressuring Kiev,” he continued.
The minister emphasized: “Now no one can oppose this document (Minsk 2) in any way, and it is impossible to doubt.”
“If we were to now say that ‘we have lost patience; we are going the other way,’ then they’ll say: ‘Wonderful,’ now the West does not have to put any pressure on the current Ukrainian government whatsoever.”

Minsk Violations - the Proof
Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ
11th April, 2016
While Ukrainian politicians and generals talk about how the DPR is violating the truce, look for phantom Grads from the army of the Russian Federation, and pin their own violations on uncontrolled battalions, ghosts and super natural phenomena, the proof of what is really going on started to appear. In this age of phones it's hard to hide something. This photo is of Ukrainian Grads firing on the territory of DPR from this past winter.
But maybe this is a training exercise? No, it's not.
Expect stories about it being filmed at Mosfilm, that it is not Ukrainians, or that volunteers simply brought Grads to volunteer's battalions But, of course, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the government of Ukraine do not have anything to do with it. They can't blatantly deceive the whole world, right?

DPR lieutenant: Mariupol, Zaporozhye, and Dnepropetrovsk are ready for us
December 1, 2015 -
Yurii Kovalchuk, PolitNavigator -
Translated for Fort Russ by J. Arnoldski
"Militaman: we will hold our own elections in Mariupol"
While Ukrainian nationalists in Kiev are grieving over the results of elections in Mariupol, militiamen in Donetsk are convinced that this is a strategically important city of the DPR which will soon come back under the control of the republic, reports a correspondent of “PolitNavigator.”
"In essence, people were given no alternative, and they were forced either to ignore elections or vote for the lesser of two evils. Although I’m sure that if the residents of Mariupol had an opportunity to vote for the republic, many would speak in support of Novorossiya,” a lieutenant of the first army corps of the DPR with the call-sign “Danila” claims.
“People are tired of war. Here in Donetsk many are already dreaming about reaching peace as soon as possible. But those who live in Mariupol, and we continue to communicate very closely with supporters of Novorossiya in this city, understand that there will be no peace in Ukraine. They understand that the militia will return to this city because it is part of Donbass and is a strategic and industrial point. And they understand that the residents of Novorossiya will already live a peaceful life and restore their land while Ukraine will gradually sink into more chaos and civil war,” the fighter says.
Danila believes that Mariupol can be liberated during the next campaign: “No one can tell you the exact date, but you see how rapidly and dramatically everything happens in this war. Now we are engaged in strengthening the armed forces in anticipation of when will we have an opportunity to kick out the invaders from Donbass. But Kiev is clearly preparing for a another round of war. This is evidenced by the amount of equipment which they are now deploying to the demarcation line. Our intelligence reports that columns of Grad’s, tanks, and other equipment arrive in Mariupol every day. Clearly, this has a purpose.
I dont’ believe that this war, at least in its hottest part, can last a long time. Kiev simply has no resources for this. Last year, before the winter, mass defections began in Ukraine. this year, the situation is even worse. At home they have hungry wives and children and have two lost campaigns with enormous casualties under their belt as well as a long winter ahead of them which they could spend in an open field. That what is possible to loot has already been looted. If Kiev does not throw them into battle, then soldiers will start to flee en masse to Russia or move to our side.
Therefore, there is everything that we need for Kiev to violate the conditions of Minsk. Our army is fully ready, our fights are eagerly waiting to meet the “liberators” so as to firstly keep the pressure on them, and then we’ll drive them all the way to Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk. And then we will hold our elections. People are already not letting gunpoint force them to give up their votes, and they don’t fear that tomorrow they will be accused of separatism,” Danila says.
