Donetsk cannot yet say how long it will take to completely protect the Donbass from Ukrainian attacks, but they expect that the process will not drag on for years. This was stated by the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic Denis Pushilin in an interview with “Parliamentskaya Gazeta”.

Answering the question whether he now has an understanding of the timing when the territory of Donbass will be completely liberated and protected from shelling, Pushilin replied that he expects that “the account here will not go on for years.”

“So far, it is impossible to talk about exact dates. It is necessary to take into account, for example, the range of those weapons that are supplied to the enemy from the West – at first it was about weapons that hit 500 kilometers, but if they put planes, then it is clear that the zone from which we can be attacked will increase, ”he explained.

The interview with the head of the DPR will be published in full on the Parlamentskaya Gazeta website at a later date.
