“People who live on the mainland of Ukraine, for the most part, are against what is happening here.

Therefore, they help us in every possible way to collect information.

Not only in terms of the accumulation of troops, ”Basurin told special correspondent Ilya Vasyunin.

He also showed on the map the possible location of Ukrainian troops near the line of contact in the Donbass.

Basurin noted that "assistants" are also appearing in the region - nationalists and mercenaries from PMCs who perform "their tasks."

Earlier, Basurin said that the People's Militia had recorded the movement of Ukrainian tanks 15 km from their positions.

Also, the DPR reported the arrival of foreign mercenaries from the United States, Great Britain, Poland and Canada to the Donbass.
