TOPIC OF THE ISSUE “EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WAR” When the opposition Russian politician Boris Nemtsov prepared the report “Putin. War”, he wanted it to be a huge circulation and be distributed on the streets. He wrote it for people to know how Putin unleashed the war with Ukraine. He believed that it is the only way to overcome the Putin’s propaganda. Although the report “Putin. War” is posted for free access in Internet, such as on the site of the public organization “Euroleader” www. euroleader.in.ua, we consider it very important when the report is read by those people, who are not accustomed to use Internet as a source of information. These people often become the victims of lies of the Russian state propaganda, and they form the core support of Putin in the East of Ukraine. With such people you should talk in person and give them a printed version of this report and this work is now being done by the human rights defenders, who work on the temporarily occupied by the Russian terrorist forces territories. This public campaign is supported by the Slavyansk human rights resource centre. Human rights defender of the NGO “Euroleader” Anna, who works together with like-minded people with the illegal status in the occupied by the terrorists city Debaltsevo told us the following: “We are distributing Boris Nemtsov report ”Putin. War“ on the occupied by the Russian terrorist forces territories, because these facts help us to tell the residents of the eastern Ukraine the truth about the war in the Donbas, which Russia leads directly there. This war led to the total violations of the human rights, representatives of LGBT community and the persecution of all people, who disagree in our city. In Debal’tsevo practically there is not a single house that would not have been destroyed or damaged by the Russian terrorist forces”.

EUROLEADER 2014 AFTER THE OCCUPATION OF THE CRIMEA MORE THAN 10 THOUSAND CRIMEAN TATARS LEFT THE PENINSULA.
It is difficult to give an exact figure, because those numbers that had been voiced officially by the executive bodies are not up to date already. It is known, that 20,000 people left the Crimean peninsula, of which about a half is the Crimean Tatars. But studies guess that this figure is higher. Currently, the work continues with a detailed count of people, who had left the Crimea, including the Crimean Tatars.
IN THE CRIMEA THEY CONTINUE THE INTIMIDATION OF THE CRIMEAN TATARS. In the Crimea, they continue to violate the rights of the Crimean Tatars and intimidate them. The deportation of the Crimean Tatars, which occurred in May 18th in 1944, was a tragic turning point in their history. In this anniversary it is sad to see that the public celebration was banned in Simferopol. It is the latest example of the restrictions and intimidations, which the Crimean Tatars face now. The EU continues to stress its concern on the
deteriorating of the human rights situation on the peninsula after the illegal annexation of the Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, including the rights of persons, who belong to minorities. Freedom of movement, expression of thoughts and freedom of speech must be respected. International human rights organizations should be provided with full, free and unrestricted access to the entire territory of Ukraine, including the Crimea and Sevastopol.
THE “COMMANDANT’S OFFICES” OF THE “DONETSK PEOPLE REPUBLIC” CANNOT COPE WITH THE GANGS OF MARAUDING TERRORISTS. In cities Torez, Shakhtarsk and Zuhres the number of the terrorists – looters from the disbanded or “cleaned” formations significantly increased. Without a centralized management and means to leave the area of ATO, such looters form their gangs, robbing and marauding. The “local commandant’s offices” of the terrorists repeatedly tried to conduct a “cleansing”, but without any result.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development of France has a reliable information that among the snipers, who in winter 2014 shot people on Maidan in Kyiv, were the “agents of the Russian intelligence services”. Director of the continental Europe Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France Eric Fournier told about it in a documentary film of a French journalist and writer Serge Moaty (Serge Moati) for France-3 television channel. “When we with Laurent Fabius were in the official buildings (on the street Bankova in Kyiv), snipers shot into the crowd, we know that among these elite shooters there were the agents of the Russian special services and (there were) 70 - 80 dead during a day, we were there (in the building) and negotiated with Yanukovych on a political solution ... “- Fournier said on 38th minute of the film, talking about the last year’s February events.
ON THE BORDER WITH UKRAINE THERE ARE NOW ABOUT 50 THOUSAND MILITARY MEN OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. On the border of Ukraine with Russia there are about 50 thousand military men of the Russian Federation. Russian troops are divided into separate battalion tactical groups that can independently solve combat tasks and act in other groups of the Russian armed forces. Concentrated there, the Russian troops play the role of a psychological factor, because the Kremlin would not dare to start an open military invasion on the Ukraine-controlled border area.
RUSSIA ABANDONED ITS CAPTIVE MILITARY MEN OF THE SPECIAL RUSSIAN TROOPS, SAYING THAT “THEY ARE LOCAL HOMEGUARDSMEN”. Detained in Ukraine Russian military men from Russian special troops Yevgeniy Yerofeyev and Olexandr Alexandrov, according to the pro-Russian separatists of the “Luhansk People Republic” were “people’s militiya fighters”. This statement was made by the first deputy of the people’s militia commander of the “LPR” Sergei Kozlov. “During the battle, two of our soldiers - Yevgeniy Yerofeyev and Olexandr Alexandrov were injured and taken as prisoners by the Ukrainian saboteurs” – Kozlov said. We remind, that as a result of questioning of the taken captive Russian soldiers they established their belonging to the staff of the 3rd Guards Brigade of the special purpose GRU General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (3rd separate Guards Warsaw-Berlin Red Banner Order of Suvorov of III level special purpose brigade in / h 21208 , c.Toliyatti, brigade commander - Colonel Guard Shchepin S.A.). When the Russians realized that their soldiers had been captured by the Ukrainian military troops, they tried to kill their soldiers. www.euroleader.in.ua
