On the occupied territory of the Lugansk region illegal organization “LPR” will import medicine only from Russia. “Now we orientate only for the Russian Federation, and the import is made only through the Russian Federation.

The state has given 20 million for us to import the medicine”, - a member of the illegal organization “LPR” Larissa Hayrapetyan said. Residents of occupied Donetsk are outraged because of the actions of militants, they are against the attacks, that is why the terorrists intimidate people with stories about “punitive operations” of the Ukrainian military men. “Women who come to the meetings cannot stand up for themselves. But the men who came to the meetings, as for me it is wrong. Join the army of “DPR “, take weapons and protect the city. We will not go away from here. We will fight to the end” – a separatist said. According to his words, all who remained in Donetsk considered terrorists and separatists, and therefore for these people it will be more comfortable in the “DPR”. Illegal organization “DPR” made an “audit” of the capacity of mobile operator “Kyivstar”. Members of the organization say that Ukrainian mobile operator voluntarily left the occupied territory. “The problem was the total wiretapping of citizens phones of the republics. Operator Kyivstar voluntarily went away from the territory of “DPR”. Control over “Kyivstar” was ended in September 2014. The agreements ended. We have been audited the thrown heritage. They started selling of own operator of “DPR” - “Phenix”. Sim card are sold demanding passports. Russian “humanitarian aid” is used to restore Snizhnyanska printing house, which in turn they use for printing separatist propaganda campaign. On the basis of the newspaper company they make a newspaper “Snizhnyanska news.” The head of the illegal organization “DPR” Olexandr Zakharchenko said he did not want to “be friends with Catholics.” “Thousand years ago we chose Orthodox faith. We are friends with people that are closest to us in faith and language. It is Russia. I do not want to be friends with Catholics, I can communicate with them, but not to be friends,” - a member of the group “DPR” said. He also said that Ukraine should communicate with Europe and Asia, as a transit country.
