Putin called Ukraine's actions against Donbass a genocide
[REGNUM] The way Ukraine behaves towards the republics of Donbass is genocide, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on February 15 following a meeting with German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz .

"Let me just add that, according to our estimates, what is happening in the Donbass today is genocide."

Regarding the initiative of the State Duma deputies to recognize the DPR and LPR, the President noted the following:

"Deputies of parliament, just like in any country, in Russia are guided by public opinion. They are guided by the opinion of their voters, and they subtly feel it. And in this regard, it is quite obvious: in our country, the vast majority of people sympathize with the inhabitants of Donbass, support them and hope that the situation there will radically change for the better for them.

"I will proceed from the premise that we must do everything to solve the problems of Donbass, but to do this, as Mr. Federal Chancellor also said, primarily based on the opportunities for implementing the Minsk agreements that have not been fully realized. And we very much hope that our partners - both overseas and in Europe, primarily the Federal Republic and France - will have a corresponding influence on the current Kiev authorities, and this solution will be found."

Soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine got drunk and wounded a colleague from a machine gun
[NewsFrontInfo] Ukrainian miliary continue to reduce the size of their own army with their own hands. A drunken fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine started a fight with a colleague and eventually shot him with a machine gun.

Anton Mikuzhis, an officer of the press service of the LPR People's Militia, told about this at a briefing.

"On February 14, at the positions of the 57th brigade near the settlement of Trekhizbenka, a verbal conflict between militants of the 34th Motorized Rifle Battalion, who were in a state of intoxication, escalated into a fight, during which one of them opened fire from his machine gun.

As a result of the incident, one militant of the 57th brigade received gunshot wounds and was taken to a hospital in the village of Severodonetsk," he said.

The brigade command traditionally tries to hide information about such incidents. It agreed with the Ukrainian observers at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC) in the credentials of a fictitious shelling. They provided a summary in which they drew shelling from the LPR.

Now the wounded soldier has become a "hero" who suffered while defending the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
