He said that while serving his sentence in a penal colony in Russia, he was recruited by the [Russian] FSB to participate in the fighting on the side of the terrorists, "DNR".
===
He said Russia controlling things more and more, adjusting fire, and the like. Also said of
low morale of terrorists, the lack of prospects for the self-proclaimed republic, Russian media outright lies about the real situation in the Donbass, so he has decided to surrender .

What was he in jail for? Donbass must be swimming now with Russian criminals, rapists, drug-adicts, alcoholics, and other Russian military.

Ok. Not brilliant. More about architecture and women's rights - or lack of them now. Talks about the New Medieval epoch
No mention of Ukraine.

You might remember that there was a fairly serious meeting of the "DNR Parliament" - Friday, I think - when Pushilin was appointed.
This Russian soldier was clearly part of the guard at this location. Hence his bragging selfie - "yzdum Zakharchenko".
Although Z did not actually attend. Probably either a) too scared, or b) too drunk. Both a) and b) possible of course.
Selfie and account on facebook of soldier Lomaev now deleted )) What a surprise.
Looks like the Russians are in full control now in Donetsk, really in all the occupied territories.
No longer playing games with stories of "volunteers". Except according to Lavrov's mouth for the Shaun Walker school of journalists.
===
Walker, incidentally, has travelled close to Japan. I would guess for another occupation story. - Russia occupying Japanese islands now.

There may be more Ukrainians in Russian custody than officially confirmed. Ukraine has requested information on another 30 to 40 of its citizens who have gone missing and are possibly being held in Russia, said Ukrainian consul in Moscow, Gennady Breskalenko.
Russia has never replied, and has in general been very reluctant to release any details of most cases or let Ukrainian diplomats meet with their citizens, he told NBC News.

Lots and lots and lots of stories now of fake charges, fabrications in Russia.
If you are a foreigner absolutely DO NOT go to Russia now. Very very dangerous.

The instrument of this war is not a small group of marginals, but, unfortunately, military personnel of the Russian army. The strangest thing about it is that, in general, evidence is mostly provided not by investigators or experts, but by Russian military themselves.

Censor.NET reports citing InformNapalm. The team of the website has been gathering evidence of the aggression of the Russian Federation in Ukraine over more than a year now.

A psychically healthy person looks for explanation for his or her actions, even if they are as terrible as killing of his own kind. That may be the most likely explanation for the extraordinary activity of the Russian military in Ukraine in social networks. Being aware of the abyss of the Kremlin propaganda, these people publish photos of themselves, their weapons, and colleagues, as well as of local residents hoping to acquit themselves in their own eyes and to find support from online friends.

All that remains to the activists is hard work of finding, documenting, sorting, identification and geolocation of images, as well as reporting of the truth around the world in different languages.

The starting point of each curve is the point of permanent deployment of a military unit in the territory of the Russian Federation (Units tab). The final point is the location of the incident involving the military from that unit on the territory of Ukraine (Incidents tab). Now we offer you to see the Bezier curves of this war, and then look at our database and reflect on the ways to victory.

The graphics for the database was created by InformNapalm volunteer Yaroslav Dobrianskiy.

Decentralization doesn't mean special status. He clearly specified dentralization. He's doing this on Ukraine's timeline, not Donetsk or Lugansk terrorists timeline.

He knows as much as everyone else in Ukraine that if he would to give ANY kind of special status to the terrorists, his tenure as president will end and Ukraine will have another Maidan which nobody wants.

Nobody should read into this that he's giving the house away as some WILL TRY, for the sake of argument. He's kept Ukraine above water. Does anyone think he's going to ruin his reputation by giving into terrorists and Putin? I can hear the naysayers coming up with all kinds of dreams and fantasies as I write this. So think about this intelligently, not with ignorance.
