He explained, “The main clashes of the Russian Army, as expected, took place not with the regular units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but with the nationalist formations, which, as you know, were directly responsible for the genocide in the Donbass and the bloodshed of civilians in the people’s republic. .”
