Donbass war broke out again
On June 12, 2019, the pro-Russian militia of the Donbass theater said that the Azov regiment under the pro-Russian militia defeated Ukrainian soldiers to try to bombard and attack the Donbass region. The pro-Russian militia in the Donbas Theater said that the Azov defeated the attack of the 36th Brigade of the Ukrainian Marine Corps and countered the artillery fire of the Ukrainian army. The pro-Russian militia of the Donbass War Zone said that during the counterattack, soldiers of the Azov War Group repelled a company of the 36th Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Marines, captured a senior lieutenant, and a soldier of the pro-Russian militia died as he was trying to stop Ukrainian mortars from attacking the Donbass War Zone.
Both sides launched shelling
and were bombarded. The victim of the severely ill pro-Russian militia was taken to the hospital in Mariupol in the Donbass region. Faced with Ukrainian attacks, pro-Russian militia in the Donbas Theater accused the Ukrainian army of sabotage, and Ukrainian President Zelensky said that the Ukrainian civil war was demanding a ceasefire in the Donbas Theater. In response to this, the pro-Russian militia in the Donbas Theater hopes that the Ukrainian army will abide by the ceasefire agreement. Russia also expressed its willingness to mediate the Ukrainian civil war and expressed negotiations with Ukrainian new President Zelensky.
Ukraine continues to create friction and does not want to cease fire
However, Ukraine has not responded to the statements of the Russian top leaders and pro-Russian militias. Even the Ukrainian army said that it directly rejected the peace talks between the Russian top leaders and pro-Russian militias, which made the Russian top leaders and pro-Russian militias "turned away". This time, the Ukrainian army completely controlled the situation in Ukraine, especially as the new Ukrainian President Zelensky has stated a ceasefire, the Ukrainian army still did not comply with the order to stop the offensive.
Continuously the president’s instructions?
In this regard, the United States and NATO have questioned whether Zelensky is capable of leading the Ukrainian army, especially the Ukrainian president's ceasefire against Russia, which is like treason. Because the Ukrainian army is in a boycott of the Ukrainian ceasefire. The Ukrainian army was supported by the United States and NATO throughout the whole process, so naturally they did not listen to President Zelensky's words.
Want to have a peace talk?
Regarding the news that Ukrainian new President Zelensky said that Russia and Ukraine had peace talks, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, it is impossible to talk about organizing a meeting between Russia and Ukrainian presidents: "We still don't know what Ukraine's new leadership will think about the direction of the Minsk agreement and the overall direction of the Ukrainian team's Russian direction. Ukraine has sent a rather vague signal." "So far, there are no real prerequisites." The Russian Foreign Minister said.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's position is more optimistic: "Ukrainian new President Vladimir Zelensky has not taken any measures to restore relations with Russia, so it needs to be patient." "If they want to take some measures, they will make it. The statements heard from Ukraine are very contradictory. But we have not seen any actual actions in Ukraine." Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.
Can the Ukrainian civil war end as soon as possible?
The Russian Prime Minister also pointed out that he has no illusions about the remarks and the "formed trends". Russian top leaders have always hoped to make some adjustments to Ukraine's foreign policy, and the Ukrainian civil war has been outbreak for nearly five years. Ukraine has no army and is unable to take over the place occupied by pro-Russian militias, but its own army's strength is getting lower and lower day by day. In response, Russia said, "One thing is clear: Ukraine's urgent problem was promised by Zelensky in the presidential election and won the victory." "If he does not keep his promise, he will always remain silent and not take major actions to the Ukrainian country's most important war issue, which will lead to Zelensky losing the support of most people. The Ukrainian army still needs to fall into a hard battle."
