Moscow has declared that it wants to gain control of the Donbass region. In the eyes of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, this goes hand in hand with the tactic of dividing Ukraine. “In fact, this is an attempt to create North and South Korea in Ukraine,” says its boss Budanov.
Ukraine accuses Russia of trying to partition the country. “In fact, this is an attempt to create North and South Korea in Ukraine,” said the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence service, Kyrylo Budanov. After more than a month of war Moscow was not able to conquer the whole country. Therefore, attempts are now being made to create a region controlled by Russia. Budanov announced that Ukraine would soon start a guerrilla war in the Russian-occupied territories.
The Moscow-backed self-proclaimed “People’s Republic” of Luhansk in eastern Ukraine is considering an early referendum on joining Russia. “I think that in the near future a referendum will be held on the territory of the republic,” said local separatist leader Leonid Pasechnik, according to local media. “People will exercise their ultimate constitutional right and express their opinions about joining the Russian Federation.”
Shortly before invading Ukraine on February 24, Russia recognized the self-proclaimed “People’s Republics” of Luhansk and Donetsk in the eastern Ukrainian separatist region as independent. However, these did not cover the entire respective region, but only small parts of it. The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Friday that the army now controls 93 percent of the Luhansk region and 54 percent of the Donetsk region. One can now focus on control of the Donbass region.
The General Staff of Ukraine’s military said Russia continued its “full-scale armed aggression”. However, the Ukrainian armed forces repulsed seven attacks in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. She would have destroyed several tanks and armored vehicles. The information about the fighting in Ukraine cannot be independently verified.
