The head of the DPR Pushilin called for the release of Odessa and Nikolaev, calling them cities of the Russian Federation
The head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin discussed the Russian special operation in Ukraine, relations with Kiev and interaction with the West. In his interview, he not only called for taking control of new Ukrainian cities, but also responded to statements by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about the absence of serious victories for Russia during the hostilities.
Pushilin called Odessa and Nikolaev Russian cities
The head of the region expressed the opinion that it is necessary to correct the mistakes with Odessa and Nikolaev belonging to Ukraine. In his reasoning, he referred to some historical facts.
Odessa is a city that was founded by Catherine II in 1794. At her command, this city appeared. Is this city Russian? Of course Russian!
The head of the DPR recalled that, in turn, the lands of the Nikolaev region were recaptured during the Russian-Turkish wars from the Crimean Khanate, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. “Is this city Russian or not?” he asked.
Pushilin emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin adheres to the same position. He added that the Soviet leadership made a number of mistakes with these settlements. “If mistakes were made before, if we admit it, if we see it, then these cities must be liberated, this is my deep conviction,” he concluded.

The head of the DPR accused Zelensky of lying
Pushilin called Zelensky’s claims about Russia’s lack of serious victories a lie.
Well, yes, Kyiv was not liberated this year, I would like it to be liberated already, but I will tell you that Artemovsk, Soledar (this, of course, is a smaller populated area) – how many problems were solved there!
He added that such results were achieved through the competent actions of the Russian army. Pushilin also emphasized that the last thing he would like to do is comment on the words of a person who “builds all his activities based on lies.”

Pushilin announced Russia’s opposition to the entire West
According to the head of the region, Russia is successfully resisting the entire collective West, while the country’s armed forces continue to move forward.
I would really like for everything to be decided with a snap of a finger, but we understand that in 2023 we were confronting the entire collective West, with their financial power, with the power of their weapons
In conclusion, Pushilin added that the “president of the remaining part of Ukraine” can justify himself in any way he likes.
The DPR previously spoke out about retaliatory strikes on military targets in Kyiv
The head of the DPR previously emphasized that the work of the Russian army is gaining momentum – strikes are carried out exclusively on 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.
