The full text of the statement
In Donetsk, people understand that these strikes are directed primarily not against the population of Ukraine, but against the industrial complex of Ukraine and against the transfer of armed forces by rail.
But it would be wrong to say that they are happy about it, because the residents of Ukraine still remain without electricity.
But we understand that these strikes are necessary and need to be continued. Because without these strikes, the armed forces of Ukraine will continue to shell Donetsk, continue to transfer weapons here.
And these strikes, first and foremost, serve as a deterrent. And at most, it is the destruction of Ukraine's industrial potential, the destruction of its railway communications.
