July 14, 2014 – Notes from a Lugansk Militiaman
Over the past two weeks (starting with the 1st of July) LPR [Lugansk People’s Republic] militiamen inflicted substantial losses on the enemy, eliminating over 800 men, with 4 militiamen killed. In addition, over 50 armoured vehicles were destroyed (just over the last twenty-four hour period, 3 tanks and 1 APC were destroyed in the area of the Uralo-Kavkaz settlement). Ukrainian army buries its fighters with excavators, right on the hills beyond the Porechye settlement, where they have their deployment camp. Those people who will never see their sons or their husbands come back to them [should know] that their loved ones may be on one of the hills of the Krasnodon region. It is perplexing that the Kiev government is covering this up, as if it will not become known, sooner or later. These numbers were determined by asking various units (artillery, reconnaissance), and only that which they saw with their own eyes was added.
With respect to the settlement of Izvarino – what the Ukrainian mass media writes is pure nonsense. After all this time, we have no dead, and only several have been lightly wounded. The city of Krasnodon continues its tradition of being a hero city.
I want to say a few words about those Ukrainian soldiers who were allegedly forced to fight, and were told it’s either prison or the army. If you are given a choice between killing your own compatriots and being imprisoned, and you preferred to go and kill your compatriots, then you don’t deserve to be called human. The western regions twice overthrew the government, without consulting us; and so we thought – live however you like, and we will build our life the way we like. And that’s when you came and started killing us.
The only chance to keep a unitary state (and even then it’s science fiction), is to: prosecute the Junta, prohibit nationalist organization and to prosecute their leaders, refuse the association with the EU, join the Customs Union, and make Russian the second state language.
But I will tell you what’s really going to happen: Novorossiy will free DPR [Donetsk People’s Republic] and LPR and then arm volunteers in Kharkov, Zaporozhia, Odessa, Nikolayev, Dneptropetrovsk, Kherson, and Zakarpattia regions. And then there is no chance that the oligarchs and the nationalists will trial. I think that they understand this and will continue sending ever greater numbers of people to their death, all the while concealing the real statistics of the dead and the wounded.
02:04 – July 15, 2014 – Briefing from Igor Strelkov
Just now, in the area of Amvrosievka, we paid back Ukies for the shelling of Dmitrievka. A Ukrainian division of “Grad” systems returned back to base camp peart and upbeat (they got the job done! there will be bonuses!). And that’s when they were got their comeuppance, a hundred-fold! Right there and then.
July 15, 2014 – Commentary by a Militiaman Regarding the Ukie Army
So you say: “Ukraine will claim victory.” But what is Ukraine? Ukraine is a colony, a marionette controlled from without. And her defenders are essentially the defenders of that parasitic, oligarchic and slaveholding system, for which the majority of people are a biomass, consumable material …
With respect to claims that we hide behind the backs of women and children … This a complete falsehood. The positions of the militiamen are will known to Ukrainian intelligence. And the Ukrainian forces have plentiful opportunities specifically to attack the firing positions of the militiamen. As well as to engage with us in direct combat. However, you, the Ukrainian forces, were always pathologically afraid and remain afraid of doing this. And, guided by American advisors, you are using their tactical instructions.
Unlike you, however, Americans hit strangers with direct fir, which you are lobbing shells at those whom you call your own, you shell residential districts, children, you fire artillery knowing full well through drones and your reconnaissance that there is no Militia there.
Like Nazis, intentionally and calculatingly, you kill children, women, defenceless civilians, and the elderly, most of whom have no relation to the Militia whatsoever and are simple laymen. Those very laymen, the majority of whom do not care where to live – in Ukraine or in Novorossiya. In other words, you kill them because they do not care. You only need those who are like you, who are ready to be slaves to the West. And contrary to all common sense, for some reason you call yourself independent Ukrainians.
Regarding belief in God. The Blessed Virgin Mary has two worldly abodes: the Holy Mount Afon and Russia. Through your hatred toward Russia, toward Novorossiya, you demonstrate to the Orthodox faith that you are, in essence, Satanists. While we defend the faith of Christ. We are ontological enemies … We do not betray our guys because they simply are not afraid of you and do not conceal themselves. You understand the reason why. Our fighters are certain of our victory. Novorossiya will exist, Glory be to Christ and to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
By the way, Motorola’s fighters had a good and long laugh after reading your post, particularly the part where you describe how close you got to our checkpoints …
July 15, 2014 – Excerpt from a Militiaman’s Letter
Hello. Right now I am in Krasnodon … Just got back from Izvarino. Yesterday our guys shot down the Su jets. During the day, Ukies were targeting their SAU-Nonas and mortars at our checkpoints, so we changed our deployment position. Ukies got everything got completely murdered, suffering large losses in their armoured corps. While I was there, we totaled one of there T-64s and a BTR-70. Our APC, in which we came there, was also destroyed. We have insignificant losses, by the commander forbid me to publish the numbers – it’s a military secret. Our group, specifically, did not sustain any casualties. The battles were difficult, so now I am catching up on sleep …
09:46 – July 15, 2014 – Briefing from Igor Strelkov
- regarding Ukrainian airstrikes on the city of Snezhnoye at 06:30 this morning:
Igor Strelkov: Several civilians died. Not one militiaman was harmed. Altogether, there were either 4 or 5 heavy shells. Looks like the lesson we taught the commanders of Ukie artillery last night fell on deaf ears … I received reports of a shelling. Perhaps an airstrike also took place.
- regarding Kurginyan:
Igor Strelkov: Jeez, I did not read or listen to him at all. All this hysteria around his statements left me completely indifferent. I am being serious! Understand this, comrades: my judgment criteria regarding this media attack are very different from yours! You think of me as some sort of political figure who can be harmed in his POLITICAL pursuits by Kurginyan’s hysteria. But I DON’T DEAL IN POLITICS. And don’t intend to (certainly not in the nearest future, and, in general, I have very little desire to). I am fighting. To the best of my ability, I command our brigade and all the attached units and detachments, deal with supply and coordination matters, etc. They have to drag me to all these press-conferences on a rope – almost like a “trained bear.” Pretty categorical: “We need you and that’s it!” In reality, they annoy the hell out of me, equally as the cobbled-together “image of the indomitable hero.”
That’s why I took Kurginyan’s libel calmly and indifferently. These days, our fighters don’t watch TV, don’t spend their time on the Internet, and have no clue who this Kurginyan is or what he blurted out. And if someone were to tell them, they know anyways that it’s all a lie. Kurginyan’s statement is like a mosquito bite – yes, it’s unpleasant, but you scratch it away and forget about it.
July 15, 2014 – Information from the Residents of Snezhnoye
As a result of an airstrike by the Ukrainian army at 06:30 in the morning, the building of the taxation department was blown up, along with one entire section of an apartment building at 14 Lenin street. The city has been cordoned off by police and firefighters. Ambulances are at the scene. Several civilians were killed, and there are many wounded. A city hospital doctor reports that “the exact number of casualties is still unknown; the clearing of debris has just begun – it was early morning and people were still at home.”
Eyewitnesses reported the following: “Around 06:30 in the morning, we heard aircraft approach, they fired rockets, which hit a five-storey residential building; one of its sections completely collapsed.”
