The shaft of articles and versions about the DPR and the LPR is already so great that it is already more decent to act at a minimum and this shaft cannot be increased. It is impossible to understand what exactly is happening there. Fiction your versions is not good. So we are waiting and setting out the news, set out and waiting.

Here is an example of how everything is incomprehensible there. "Ligaonline" said :
“ Yesterday, on May 29, a convoy of the militants of the Chechen battalion of the East arrived at the Donetsk Region’s building - the Donetsk Regional Staff - the headquarters of the Donetsk Republic. The arrivals took control, and all the supporters of the DPR were pushed over the perimeter, having previously searched. Then the work on the dismantling of the barricades began, reports 62.ua. ”

With the barricades a little later - there is curious there. It is more interesting here that the “Chechen battalion” was not mentioned at all the source at all, but already “Ligaonline” (yes, she entered the Chechen “Chechen” quote, as it were, as it were, it is even listed as respectable and objective). There is nothing like that in the original. http://www.62.ua/news/545317 :
“ Today, on May 29, after the visit of the fighters of the Vostok battalion to the Donetsk Regional State Administration to identify and suppress looting, the work of dismantling the barricades began .” This fact of improvement of the material is not mentioned then to take the “league” (in fact that it is to us), but in order to demonstrate how it is not easy there. Yes, “looting” are representatives of the DPR on the eve of plundered the metro supermarket.

In the presentation of the original: “ Previously, all its current inhabitants were withdrawn from the building. Each of them was inspected to detect stolen ones in either the Regional State Administration, or in the shops of the city of things. Unexpected for all manipulations with the barricades were explained by the fact that at this stage of the military situation, the rubble from the tires, in the event of their arson, can become a trap for people in the Regional State Administration. People who did not believe in such a theory said among themselves: "This is not the" East ", but some kind of National Guard ." Yes, in the photo in the heading - this is the same subbotnik.

In general, the topic remains open - what came, for what purpose. As well as the question of what the “Chechen battalion“ Vostok ”” is. In fact, the “east” was originally in the DPR, then when information appeared about the presence of persons from the North of the Caucasus in it-they remembered the Chechen (the old “east” and “west”) and decided that it was the same “east”. In general, some other “east”, but what does it have to do with the DPR and why did he drive them all out into the street? However, there is hardly conflict there.

Actually, now this is almost a basic case - it is fresh and it is especially not clear who is for whom and what is meant. The extensible question is what the DPR and LPR are now, as well as in what connection with the Russian Federation they are. Well, yes, that, nevertheless, is such an “east”. At the same time, there is also a battalion of Donbass, which certainly Prokievsky and has already become part of the National Guard.

At the same , the commander is quite energetic. On the air of Gromadskutv, Semenchenko described his structure as follows : “ This is a continuation of what was on the Maidan. If there are now volunteers, the will to action, then they are much more effective than those astronauts hung with weapons that abandon the parts. In this regard, I want to turn to those who are now on the Maidan, do not suffer from nonsense and go with us. If you need to return, then we will return all the VM . ”

Now a certain number of news.

" The border guards repelled the next attack of the terrorists at the Stanichno -Luganskoye point and detained cars with weapons and ammunition," the State Border Service of Ukraine said. " In general, this is still an open border. Previously, cars with weapons and fighters drove back and forth-they were released from Russia, they were let into Ukraine-because they could not let them go: the border service was built there not for defense, weak. Now it began to change, the army began to throw units to them. Here is a selection of the situation on the border. Very diverse.

At a h , it arose and vice versa :
“ The militants subordinate to the terrorist Igor“ Strelka ”Girkin, who heads the so -called“ Donetsk People’s Republic ”, did not let the Russian border guards through the border. This is stated in the plot of "News 2+2". The message of this information was not released by the page on Facebook, an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Stanislav Rechinsky. He gives two explanations for this fact: “Firstly, Putin hopes that in despair terrorists can shoot many more our military, and secondly, he does not need angry militants in Russia .”

Of course, we still need to estimate how such plots are produced and all that. In general, Facebook is the best place for messages of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. They love it from Minister Avakov.

But the fact is a fact - Russia, at least, releases everyone in the direction of Ukraine and with all their property (including the military). You can give a lot of explanations to this phenomenon - from local to geopolitical. And, in fact, this is the situation of the DPR-that is what is it at what level is located? And when it is incomprehensible, then hypotheses can be built any level.

It would be better, of course, not to build, but it is a very hunt to speculate, for example, on the topic of the DPR in the context of pressure on Kyiv in order to introduce federalization, fix certain privileges of Russia in the southeastern regions, etc. All this is quite possible, from the point of view of geopolitics. But trucks, with weapons that either skip, do not skip into the territory of Ukraine, then this is probably a different level. However, there is a connection with geopolitics, because a) Russia produces them and b) the support of the DPR clearly exists. But all this may mean a lot of something else.

Well, most likely, there is no question of recognizing the DPR and their outpossed referenda by Russia. But you can add geopolitics, remembering that on June 6, V. Putin will go to Normandy, about the Second World War and there is a question of how it will react to him there. You can’t invite Russia, but how to treat? In what form and all that is? And it will also be strange in negotiations (not necessarily in Normandy) to use the topic of the presence of a resource that the second month allows you to maintain a mess to parts of a neighboring country. No, it is very possible humanly, but in negotiations with the West-somehow not very.
