He stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering losses on the line of contact and are trying to win back by shelling civilians.

Pushilin also added that Kyiv takes advantage of the fact that Washington encourages this. 

“More recently, the United States has given approval.

In fact, they said they were satisfied with how NATO weapons are used directly by the Ukrainian regime,” he said.

Pushilin also said that more than 50% of the territory of the DPR has already been liberated.
