The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC), Oleksiy Danilov, said on the air of a talk show that the deputies of the Opposition Platform – For Life (OPZZH) party “feed the Russian tanks and the armored personnel carriers (APCs) found in Donbass. ” This is reported by the “Observer”.
In his opinion, the named process is carried out through the use of the Novoshakhtinsky refinery, which is located in the Rostov region.
“To stop killing in Donbas, you need to do something very simple. Let Russia take his property and leave the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. I took my tanks, my armored personnel carriers, which are powered by members of their faction through the Novoshakhtinsky plant, and I left Ukraine, “said Danilov, addressing Yuriy Boyko, president of the HLP.
He replied that the Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment has been fueled with diesel fuel from Russia since 2014. Boyko explained that Russian oil goes to Belarusian oil refineries, and finished fuel from there goes to Ukraine.
As for the agents “running the Russian team,” Boyko said he knew nothing, and if there are any, law enforcement agencies should investigate.
On April 1, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of “showing its muscles” at the border. “In this way, it seeks to create a climate of threat and, at the same time, pressure during the negotiations on a ceasefire and on peace as our value,” he said. Prior to this, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine warned about Russia’s readiness to introduce regular units of the armed forces into the territory of the DPR and DPR.
Relations between Kiev and Moscow deteriorated dramatically after the reunification of Crimea with Russia in March 2014 and the outbreak of conflict in Donbass in April of the same year. Part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions declared their independence. Kiev tried to return them by force, but to no avail. Ukraine accuses Russia of armed aggression and occupation of the Crimea and Donbass regions. The Kremlin rejects the claim.
