Pushilin said that Kyiv received a very tough response to the attack on Belgorod
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) went beyond all limits, shelling the civilian population of Belgorod and Donetsk, and thereby dehumanized themselves. This opinion was expressed by the head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin.
He emphasized that Russia, in responding to attacks, should not become like an enemy and attack civilians.
Pushilin spoke about retaliatory strikes on military targets in Kyiv
The head of the DPR emphasized that the work of the Russian army is gaining momentum – strikes are carried out exclusively against military targets and with military expediency. “We are working, we are working very hard,” he explained, adding that military operations should not affect the civilian population in any way.
If we act using the methods of our enemy, how is this better than our enemy, what are we fighting against then?
Pushilin noted that the region has been subjected to shelling by Ukraine since 2014, which gives the republic “the moral right to act emotionally.” However, according to him, local residents have not ceased to be people. The head of the DPR expressed the opinion that the loss of humanity could become a greater tragedy for Russia than the losses it suffers on the battlefield.
