Officials in the breakaway Ukrainian region of Donetsk have called on Moscow to send assistance amid a worsening standoff across the contact line, with Kiev’s troops and those loyal to the two self-declared republic accusing each other of heavy shelling.
Speaking to the Solovyov Live YouTube channel on Monday, Eduard Basurin, the spokesman for the Donetsk People’s Militia said that Moscow should provide moral support “first of all,” but that “I would not refuse any - military assistance is also needed, in different directions.”
The official also claimed that there is a war taking place in Donbass, adding, “the situation isn’t just difficult, it is genuinely critical.”
