​Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin :

Exactly eight years ago, on May 26, 2014, Donetsk felt all the inhumanity and cynicism of the Kiev regime : Ukrainian militants aimed heavy artillery and combat aircraft at residents of a peaceful city. War has come to the capital of the Republic.

During these long years, we have lived in conditions of military conflict and incessant shelling. But we didn’t give up and didn’t break down. We defended and built our country in the firm belief that justice would prevail. We knew that the day will come when the Ukrainian criminals, who gave the order to bomb Donetsk, will be judged by the international tribunal.

And this time has come. We are driving the enemy out of our land. The crimes of neo-Nazis are being investigated, and they will be publicly condemned. It should not happen again in the future. Thousands and thousands of innocent victims who died from the aggression of the Ukrainian regime must be avenged.
