Donbass Indians
Debaltseve was taken by former Russian contractors: Kommersant
The war continues in Ukraine. The other day, the forces of the self -proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic completed the storm of Debaltseve - an important transport hub. The Ukrainian army retreated; The authorities assure that this was a planned retreat, although the Ukrainian soldiers themselves say that the departure was random. The special corner of Kommersant Ilya Barabanov talks about Russian contractors who are fighting near Debaltseve.
Ilya Barabanov found four Russian contractors who are fighting in the Donbass. They are only 20 to 23 years old, they all served in one part. They fell into war after January 20, when fights began with renewed vigor - the DPR forces began an offensive on Debaltseve. Barabanov writes that in Ukraine “they are like on an unlimited business trip,” but he notes that all four wrote reports about dismissal.
As the correspondent of Kommersant notes, as a rule, prepared military people go on the attack, and then the “militias” are occupied by settlements and checkpoints. According to Barabanov, near Debaltseve there is a certain connection from Buryatia.
The journalist retells the dialogue with the locals:
- Behind the Terrikon, the Buryats are standing.
- And what kind of Buryats?
- Well ... the Donbass Indians.
Everyone smiles, everyone understands everything. In the last days, before the final assault, Debaltsevo, in order not to shine the “Buryats” once again, journalists tried to close the entrance to Uglegorsk as much as possible, from where the offensive developed inside the boiler. A couple of days after the assault, when Debaltsevo is finally “cleaned up”, the checkpoints will put miners to the checkpoints, and the road will be opened again.
