"We shoot only in response"

A DNI fighter commented on the situation at the front, according to one of the activists of Russian Spring Alexander Matyushina (call sign" Varyag "), units of the People's Militia DNI should be more actively respond to attacks and provocations by the APU..

According to Ukraina.ru, a former militia soldier told how in his opinion, should deal with the Ukrainian militants who bombard the houses of peaceful citizens of the People's Republic on a daily basis.

"When I was a commander of a company that was in positions, in response to a sniper's shot, the area from which he fired, was "combed" with mortars or, in extreme cases by the heavier guns.

"All this humanism towards those who destroy our people and our cities and towns should be discarded. We shoot only after our citizens and relatives have been killed, our houses have been destroyed. But we need to shoot so that this does not happen," Matyushin noted, adding that not being able to defeat the Donetsk people morally, Ukraine seeks to destroy them physically for the eighth year. They in fact have been carrying out genocide of the local population.

After that, many experts came to the conclusion that in this way an aggravation may occur at the front, which will lead to the resumption of large-scale hostilities and even the involvement of the Russian Federation in the conflict."
No, it won't and both sides know it.
