It is reported by TASS.
“18 years ago, in November 2004, when the Maidan was raging in Kyiv - pro-Western, pro-orange - here (in the Severodonetsk ice palace. - RT ) deputies from all over the southeast (Ukraine. - RT ) gathered to say: “No, we do not agree, we have a different point of view,” he said.
According to the ambassador, in this way the ice palace became a symbol of separatism.
“Leaving Severodonetsk, they could not leave this symbol,” the diplomat believes.
Earlier it was reported that the liberated Azot plant in Severodonetsk was subject to restoration and did not receive significant damage during the shelling.
