“To a greater extent, this concerns weapons ... There is already an understanding that additional capabilities of the allied forces will be used,” he said in an interview with TASS.

Pushilin stressed that he did not request additional assistance, but "stated the fact of the agreement."

Earlier, Pushilin announced the need to use additional allied forces in connection with the increased shelling of settlements in the republic.

Eduard Basurin, deputy head of the People's Militia Department of the Donetsk People's Republic, said that the DPR expects more active use of missiles and artillery from the Russian military.

Pushilin expressed confidence that the special military operation would end in a "complete victory" for the allied forces.
