Today, the leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics announced the evacuation of the population to Russia. The difficult decision was made after a two-day escalation of the situation on the line of demarcation, which coincided with President Zelensky's visit to the Donbass, and attempts by Ukrainian saboteurs to make attacks on strategic life-support facilities, and worse, to arrange provocations fraught with mass casualties among the civilian population.

So, according to the information of the people's militia of the DPR, today, on the outskirts of Gorlovka, in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Zheleznaya Balka, two sabotage groups were discovered - 10 and 12 people, on which fire was opened. At least two saboteurs were killed. "According to our intelligence, they planned to blow up a tank with chlorine on the territory of a sewage treatment plant in the Gorlovka region. Personal protective equipment and foreign-made ammunition, as well as a camera mounted on a bulletproof vest, were found at the site of the clash," the report says. Recordings from the found camera were made public. Also, the defenders of the republic intercepted the conversations of saboteurs in Polish. Earlier, DPR intelligence reported the arrival of Polish mercenaries at the line of demarcation.

Also, early in the morning, saboteurs attempted to blow up an ammonia storage tank at the Stirol chemical plant in Gorlovka, which, fortunately, was prevented by security. In addition, an attempt was also recorded to blow up an oil storage facility in the village of Yelenovka, and as a result of the shelling, two transformer stations were put out of action. These alarming reports are superimposed by the incessant indiscriminate shelling of border settlements and the Gorlovka-Donetsk road. The accumulation of Ukrainian manpower and armored vehicles on the first line, which is recorded by intelligence, has not stopped either.

Recall that in anticipation of bloody provocations that could become a reason for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, or would not leave a choice to Donetsk and Lugansk, both republics have been living for more than a month. And all signs that something similar is being prepared in Kiev - according to Western patterns, and with the involvement of Western media - appear every day. Suffice it to recall yesterday's attempt to pass off photographs of a breach of uncertain origin in the wall of a kindergarten located eight kilometers from the demarcation line as shelling by "separatists." And although this plot of the Ukrainian media was immediately identified by many as a fake, even within the country, it was enough for the hysteria of the US embassy in Ukraine. But if in this case the hand of the writers of the "95th quarter" was felt, then no one, and primarily the intelligence of the republics, has no doubts that both in Kiev and in the Donbass there are foreign specialists in provocations of a much higher class, measuring the effect of their "staging" hundreds of lives.

In this situation, the leadership of the republics could not maintain complacency and make civilians, their elderly, women and children, hostages of an inhuman enemy. In the end, it is better to meet the team of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and foreign mercenaries fully armed, knowing that your relatives are safe. Actually, this logic is contained in the appeals of Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik: men must be ready for battle, their relatives and friends must be evacuated so as not to fall as victims of "Russian aggression" or "false flag operations" in CNN stories and Bloombe.

In the evening, when the evacuation began, the residents received the appropriate SMS and the first buses arrived at the border with Russia, in the center of Donetsk, a car exploded in the parking lot near the republican administration. And this confirms the intelligence data on the infiltration of sabotage groups into the territory of the DPR. In this situation, the republics rejected the initiative of the Ukrainian side to urgently convene an extraordinary meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group.

"Kyiv is proposing an urgent extraordinary meeting of the Contact and Working Group on Security Issues, traditionally not backed up by any specific practical measures to prevent fire. The sequence of actions of the Ukrainian side makes obvious the scenario it has thought out in advance: arrange an escalation and blame us for it. In this "We consider it absolutely pointless to support the Ukrainian militaristic PR campaign fueled by the West. If you want silence and peace, don't shoot!", said Natalia Nikanorova, Ombudsman of the DPR and representative of the republic in the TCG. In turn, LPR Foreign Minister Vladislav Dainego also believes that "Kyiv is provoking a military conflict for the sake of PR," and therefore representatives of Lugansk do not intend to participate in his scenario.
