Subtitle language:
00:00 → 00:07
After 14 years, from 14 to 22, Donbass was all cut up.
00:07 → 00:10
Donbass was looted by different people.
00:10 → 00:19
Some of them were from the presidential administration, some from the FSB, some were recruited oligarchs like Kurchenko.
00:19 → 00:31
These are people who stole money from the residents of Donbass, who were in the unrecognized republics of the LPR and the DPR.
00:31 → 00:42
In this LNR and DNR there were corps of the people's militia, which in case of attack of Ukrainians had to give a worthy response.
00:42 → 00:56
However, these corps did not exist in fact, there was a minimum number of fighters and a certain number of generals just saw this money.
00:56 → 01:07
With a salary of 40 thousand, 20 thousand was left in the caste, 20 thousand was given to the one who signed, if the fighter existed and sat at home, no preparation was carried out.
01:07 → 01:17
And the dead souls just got this money, the generals got this money for the dead souls and the budgets were being squeezed.
01:17 → 01:24
Donbass was a great place to get money, like the President's staff.
01:24 → 01:32
First it was Surkov, then it was Khazars, the FSB also had a perfectly understandable hierarchy of generals.
01:33 → 01:39
Now, why did the special operation begin?
01:39 → 01:50
The Ukrainians had a group that was on the border with the territory of Donbass, which we ran from Popasnaya to Artemovsk.
01:50 → 02:07
This grouping consisted of various volunteer, let's say, nationalist formations, and also consisted of the active army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
02:07 → 02:22
This group has been exchanging gunfire. We beat them, they beat us, and that went on for eight long years, from 14 to 22
02:22 → 02:34
Sometimes the number of different shootings increased, roughly speaking, the exchange of ammunition, the exchange of shots, sometimes decreased.
02:35 → 02:40
There was nothing extraordinary on February 24th.
02:40 → 02:57
Now the Department of Defense is trying to deceive the public, trying to deceive the president and tell the story that there was a crazy aggression on the part of Ukraine and they were going to join with the entire NATO bloc to attack Nastya.
A former official claims that Donbass was looted by various individuals, including government officials and oligarchs, while the militia was poorly equipped and underfunded. The speaker also discusses the ongoing conflict with Ukraine and disputes the Ukrainian government's claims of aggression.
