Comment: Donetsk is acting impeccably during this crisis - it needs to, in order to counter the propaganda barrage being directed against it and Russia by the West. This way, anyone paying attention can see who is the superior party in this conflict.
"At the moment, the ceasefire agreement is not fully complied with. It is too early to talk about a complete ceasefire," Zakharchenko said.
"The transfer of prisoners of war will be held today on our part. We hope that on Monday, the Ukrainian side will hold their transfer," he said.
Comment: Good move. By fulfilling their obligations in full and before Kiev, Donetsk puts Kiev in the position of having to comply, or looking like a total monster when they don't. Donetsk holds the cards here. Even if Kiev doesn't follow through, the NAF can always just re-capture any troops that get sent back into the conflict.
Zakharchenko made the statement in lieu of two shelling attacks in Amvrosiivka, within the Donetsk Region, early Saturday.
Comment: The West accuses Russia of attacking Ukraine, yet Russia is the only country protecting Ukrainian people and offering them hope:
- Global Pathocracy, Authoritarian Followers, and the Hope of the World
- Russia sends 300 trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Eastern Ukraine
- Putin urges to open humanitarian corridors to rebuild infrastructure in Eastern Ukraine
Also, compare the open-arm immigration policy of Russia with that of the EU, where the governments and the right sector are screaming about every new immigrants. The difference is like day and night.
