Heroic defenders of Novorossia win victory over Ukrainian neo-Nazi junta, says Putin

According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, militiamen from the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics who are former coal miners and tractor drivers win a convincing victory over a neo-Nazi junta in Kiev. He told the press that although weapons shipments from the West including the United States to the puppet regime in this country took place, nothing would result from these efforts.

Mr. Putin is sure that most Ukrainian servicemen do not want to take part in a fratricidal war, whereas the Donbas militiamen are highly motivated to defend their families on their native land.

In fact, Anatoliy Matios, chief military prosecutor of Ukraine, revealed that 10,000 Ukrainian servicemen were suspected of desertion. Besides, thousands of Ukrainian servicemen are prosecuted for evasion of military service. In the Kherson region alone 2,813 reservists evade service. More than 15,000 former Ukrainian servicemen have decided to go over to the Russian army after the reunification of Crimea with Russia.

Recently, Vladimir Putin stated that the foreign NATO legion made a criminal war against heroic defenders of the Donbas region, or Novorossia (New Russia). Together with the Ukrainian neo-Nazi military, the foreign legion acts in the interests of the hostile Western alliance. Observers say mercenaries have been captured in the east Ukraine with the thick London accent.

However, few in the West seem to recognize that it is the NATO rather than Russia, which has been spreading expansionary tentacles beyond traditional boundaries. Since the early 1990s, Western aims have been to draw countries out of the Soviet sphere of influence and into the aggressive NATO. Ukraine has always been seen as the ultimate test as to where the balance lies.

According to Mr. Putin, the civil war in Donbas serves the geopolitical purposes of deterring Russia, whereas that does not respond to the basic interests of citizens of Ukraine. He promised to grant political asylum to all Ukrainians who do not want to be summoned to the criminal war.

Data from the sociological group Rating show that 77% of citizens of Ukraine fear greatly the fratricidal war. Importantly, only 7% of respondents are concerned about secession of the Russian-speaking Donbas from this country.
