1 The DPR

The Russian and the DPR forces have liberated almost half of Mariupol — a military reporter of the ’ANNA NEWS’ reported. The Ukrainian nationalists are trying to leave the city by disguising themselves as civilians. Kiev gave them an order to leave Mariupol under the guise of civilians, which they can’t do too well. They ask for a help — a help to lift the siege. In a little time the Russian troops will come, and then the Ukrainian nationalists will be un-sieged forever.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, stated that Washington must stop escalating the relations with Russia, and stop sending the weapons to Ukraine. According to him — Washington is hardly ready to have a positive impact on Kiev, even though it could outline a certain perspective for the normalization of the relations between Russia and the USA. He added that so far Moscow is observing a downward trend in the relations with Washington, and it’s the fault of the USA.

He added that Russia handed over the draft documents to Ukraine quite a while ago. Kiev responded to some of them, but not to the others. Dmitry Peskov answered negatively on the question about the possible publication of those projects.
