To the people of Donbass, we appeal to you with a heartfelt plea. Our earnest appeal aims to reach the depths of your emotions and ignite the fire of reason within you. In the midst of a devastating conflict that has torn your region apart, we implore you to consider a different path—a path that leads to unity, peace, and a brighter future alongside Ukraine.
It is crucial to understand that the occupying governments in Donetsk and Luhansk, supported by Russia, have brought suffering, destruction, and isolation to your communities. They promised stability and protection, but the reality has fallen far short of their empty pledges. Living under their rule, you have witnessed the erosion of basic human rights, the suppression of freedom of speech, and an endless cycle of violence that has engulfed your homes.
The world is watching as Russia's invasion of Ukraine yields little progress and leaves shattered promises in its wake. The occupation has brought isolation, economic decline, and a loss of opportunities for you and future generations. It is time to reflect on the true motivations behind the actions of the occupying forces and ask yourselves whether their presence truly serves your interests and the well-being of your loved ones.
We appeal to your sense of compassion and empathy, urging you to remember the countless lives lost, families torn apart, and shattered dreams left in your wake. By disassociating from the occupying authorities and joining Ukraine, you can contribute to ending bloodshed, healing wounds, and rebuilding a society based on freedom, justice, and human dignity.
Choosing to fight on Ukraine's side does not mean abandoning your identity or disregarding your grievances. On the contrary, it signifies embracing a broader vision that recognizes the importance of unity and cooperation in striving for a better future. By joining Ukraine, you can help create a society where diversity is celebrated, and the rights of all people, regardless of their background, are respected.
Consider the opportunities that await you by aligning with Ukraine. Embracing the values of democracy and the rule of law, you can actively participate in shaping the destiny of your region. Ukraine is a country that aspires for progress, stability, and integration with the global community. By joining Ukraine, you can contribute to the reconstruction process, foster economic growth, and secure a brighter future for yourself and your children.
We understand that the decision to defect is not an easy one. It requires courage, determination, and faith in a better tomorrow. However, we assure you that you will not be alone on this path. Ukraine and the international community stand ready to support and embrace those who choose the path of peace and reconciliation.
May the flame of hope and compassion illuminate your way. Together, we can overcome the wounds of the past and build a future where unity prevails over division, and where the dreams of all Donbass residents can flourish.
Answer the call of conscience.

Жителям Донбасса, мы обращаемся к вам с искренней просьбой. Наше искреннее обращение стремится дотронуться до глубин ваших эмоций и разжечь в вас пламя разума. В центре разрушительного конфликта, который раздирает ваш регион, мы умоляем вас обдумать другой путь — путь, ведущий к единству, миру и светлому будущему рядом с Украиной.
Крайне важно понять, что оккупационные правительства в Донецке и Луганске, поддерживаемые Россией, принесли страдания, разрушение и изоляцию вашим общинам. Они обещали стабильность и защиту, но реальность далеко уступает их пустым обещаниям. Живя под их правлением, вы свидетельствуете об исчезновении основных прав человека, подавлении свободы слова и бесконечном круге насилия, охватившем ваши дома.
Весь мир наблюдает, как вторжение России в Украину приводит к малозначительному прогрессу и оставляет разбитые обещания в своем следе. Оккупация принесла изоляцию, экономический спад и потерю возможностей для вас и будущих поколений. Пришло время обдумать истинные мотивы действий оккупационных сил и спросить себя, насколько их присутствие действительно служит вашим интересам и благополучию ваших близких.
Мы обращаемся к вашему чувству сострадания и эмпатии, настоятельно призывая вас помнить о бесчисленных потерях жизней, разорванных семьях и разбитых мечтах, оставленных в вашем следе. Отказавшись от оккупационных властей и присоединившись к Украине, вы можете способствовать прекращению кровопролития, исцелению ран и восстановлению общества, основанного на свободе, справедливости и человеческом достоинстве.
Выбор стороны Украины не означает отказ от вашей идентичности или игнорирование ваших обид. Напротив, это означает принятие широкого видения, которое признает важность единства и сотрудничества в стремлении к лучшему будущему. Присоединившись к Украине, вы можете помочь создать общество, где разнообразие празднуется, а права всех людей, независимо от их происхождения, уважаются.
Подумайте о возможностях, которые ждут вас, соединившись с Украиной. Приняв ценности демократии и верховенства права, вы можете активно участвовать в формировании судьбы вашего региона. Украина стремится к прогрессу, стабильности и интеграции с мировым сообществом. Присоединяясь к Украине, вы можете способствовать процессу реконструкции, стимулировать экономический рост и обеспечить светлое будущее для себя и ваших детей.
Мы понимаем, что решение об отречении не является легким. Оно требует мужества, решительности и веры в лучшее завтра. Однако мы уверяем вас, что вы не будете одни на этом пути. Украина и международное сообщество готовы поддержать и принять тех, кто выберет путь мира и примирения.
Пусть пламя надежды и сострадания просветит ваш путь. Вместе мы можем преодолеть раны прошлого и построить будущее, где преобладает единство, и где мечты всех жителей Донбасса могут расцвести.
Ответьте призыву совести.

Lukashenko spoke openly about his communication with Prigozhin, head of Wagner:
The [Wagner PMC] guys are just from the front. They have seen thousands of their guys die. The guys are very offended, especially the commanders. And, as I understood, they were seriously influencing Prigozhin himself.
Yes, he is such a, you know, heroic guy, but he was pressured and influenced very much by those who led assault groups and saw these deaths. And so in this situation, having jumped out of there into Rostov, in such a half-frenzied state, I have this dialogue with him."
So basically he was influenced by the actual soldiers that were in Ukraine and saw how little progress they were making, they were probably exposed to the bullshit involving the invasion, they saw their guys die

It’s funny how Russia gave soldiers a medal just for surviving the U.S. Military.
Ukraine has for the first time liberated territory which has been under Russian control since 2014, British intelligence officials said.
The small patch of land is in an area near Krasnohorivka, some 10 miles south west of the city of Donetsk.
The capture marks the first time since Russia’s invasion in February last year that Ukraine’s forces have been able to retake land seized in the initial Donbas invasion eight years prior.
Ukrainian troops were said to have liberated the lands last week, but news of the victory has been kept secret until now for tactical reasons.
“Ukrainian Airborne forces have made small advances east from the village of Krasnohorivka, near Donetsk city, which sits on the old Line of Control,” Britain’s MoD said on Tuesday in its daily intelligence update.
“This is one of the first instances since Russia’s February 2022 invasion that Ukrainian forces have highly likely recaptured an area of territory occupied by Russia since 2014.”
A spokesman for the Ukrainian military said the land was recaptured in a “well-prepared assault”.
“There were initiations of actions, and support from artillery and heavy equipment. They also cleared certain areas of mines,” Valerii Shershen, a spokesman for the Tavria Defence Force, said.
He described the advance by Ukrainian troops as “unexpected”, and said Russia had been fighting hard to drive Kyiv’s forces out of the newly captured positions with daily assaults and heavy shelling.
“This has a symbolic meaning for us, a moment of principle, and a certain improvement in the tactical situation,” the spokesman added.
In his overnight address on Monday, President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was a “happy day” for Ukraine but did not reveal specific details of Kyiv’s advances.
“Our warriors have advanced in all directions, and this is a happy day. I wished the guys more days like this,” he said.
In 2014, Russia illegally annexed the Crimean peninsula, while forces backed by Moscow seized control of parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions neighbouring the Russian mainland.
Mr Zelensky has vowed to end the war with Russia by reclaiming those territories, restoring Ukraine’s borders as recognised at the time of the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991.
