The law on the provision of humanitarian assistance by Russia to the population of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) is exacerbating the conflict in southeastern Ukraine. This on Wednesday, November 24, is stated in a statement the foreign policy service of the European Union (EU).
“The EU regrets the [России Владимиром] Putin’s November 15 decree <...> The decree is aimed at further secession of the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk temporarily not controlled by the Ukrainian government, “the statement says.
At the same time, according to the text of the document, such actions of Russia inflict damage on the sovereignty and territory of Ukraine, adds “Gazeta.Ru“.
This is a decree dated November 15th. Putin instructed the Russian government to take a number of measures within a month that will soften the conditions for admitting goods from the DPR and LPR to the Russian markets. The decree specifies that we are talking, among other things, about the participation of such goods in public procurement on a par with Russian ones.
On the same day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia will do everything possible in terms of humanitarian assistance to Donbass. At the same time, he confirmed the presence of difficulties in providing Donbass with coronavirus vaccines.
At the same time, on November 21, Kirill Budanov, head of the main intelligence directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, announced the first use of the Javelin ATGM system in Donbass. On the same day, information about the alleged first use of Javelin in the south-east of Ukraine was commented on in the State Duma. They said that with such statements Kiev shows that it is following the instructions of its masters at the Pentagon.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on November 24 that at the moment the Kremlin does not have information confirming the military use of Javelin in Donbass. But such systems, according to Peskov, do exist in Ukraine.
Since 2014, the Kiev authorities have been conducting a military operation against the residents of Donbass, who refused to recognize the results of the coup d’etat and the new government in Ukraine. At the same time, Kiev blames Moscow for the current situation. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not a party to the internal Ukrainian conflict.
