[Donetsk (Ukraine) 7th Archyde.com]–Dennis Psylin, who claims to be the leader of the pro-Russian faction in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, said in an interview with Archyde.com on the 7th that a full-scale war could break out at any moment. He said that once the war began, it would be necessary to ask Russia for help.
Mr. Psylin, who heads the pro-Russian “Donetsk People’s Republic,” warned that a war could break out and cause a large number of casualties. “If Ukraine crosses the line with the support of Western countries, it will not rule out requests for assistance to Russia,” he said.
He said last month in the Russian parliament that he needed to donate weapons to Donets’k and nearby Lugansk, even though he was not in contact with Russia over the provision of weapons. He said that there was always a “threat of military action” by Ukraine, without giving any evidence, and that a large-scale war could start at any moment.
Separately, Archyde.com also conducted an interview with Alexander Hodakowski, a former political leader of the Donetsk People’s Republic, who now oversees the military sector. In it, Mr. Hodakowski called on Russia to send 30,000 soldiers to Donets’k.
According to Hodakowski, Donetsk’s pro-Russian faction has 30,000 soldiers, but 10,000 are ready to fight on the front lines. “We need at least 40,000 soldiers with rifles on the front lines,” he said, revealing a request for 30,000 troops to be sent to Russia.
