#Vershinin: 🇺🇦set a course for rejecting all direct communication with #Donbas in the framework of the coordination mechanism. Models that they offer leave no space for effective reaction to ceasefire violations. https://t.co/vS8vGcEAbj

#Vershinin: Population of #Donbas are aliens in their own country. They are in the target of assault and sniper rifles & howitzers. As for 🇺🇦 representatives, they keep inventing pretexts for not implementing their obligations and give orders to bombard peaceful population. https://t.co/JpYELHCWeS

The war in #Donbas has been raging for over five years now. Thousands of civilians have been #killed or #injured. Despite a ceasefire negotiated in the summer of 2019, the🇺🇦army still fires on #Zaytsevo almost daily with small arms and artillery shells. https://t.co/DFvhGi6dLa https://t.co/DGCqG6ffZm

The conflict in #Donbas broke out in 2014, when the interim government that had seized power in🇺🇦after a coup sent forces to #Donetsk and #Lugansk. The war between parts of what was once one peaceful country has been raging for over7⃣years now. ➡️More: https://t.co/boAx3KoXLA https://t.co/sLDdljhIsU

#Nebenzia: While propagating this baseless panic around🇷🇺plans for an invasion of #Ukraine, our Western colleagues shamelessly pumped Ukraine w/arms & instructors. In fact they have been encouraging Ukraine to embark on armed provocations against #Donbas. https://t.co/aznmdrZhP5 https://t.co/SdQWWr92e3

#Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on #Ukraine: Many our colleagues are willing to attest that the #MinskAgreements are dead, which is not true. #Kiev🇺🇦 still has to implement them. We remain open for a diplomatic solution, but we will not allow for another bloodbath in #Donbas. https://t.co/IGfhZPUjfc

#Nebenzia: #Kiev spent eight years bombing its nationals and evading direct dialogue with #Donbas, while also managing to “fool” the intn'l community by proclaiming its commitment to the #MinskAgreements and readiness to implement them, but in a very particular interpretation. https://t.co/QZbVW6fXCo

#Nebenzia: All these years, #Donbas has been under an economic, transportation, and #food blockade. Elderly people and children hide from shells in basements. #Refugee count stands at dozens of thousands these past days, most specifically – 96 thousand people as of now. https://t.co/q7ob3v1gOw

#Nebenzia: It's self-evident to any civilized state that you cannot do such things to your people. It means that #Kiev does not need the people of Donbas, it only wants their land. 🇺🇦President overtly said that, offering the people of #Donbas to get out to Russia🇷🇺. @mfa_russia https://t.co/bQBtAOgmay

#Nebenzia: Where have you all been for 8 years? Why haven’t you been concerned over the killings in Donbas? Why didn't you call down Mr.Poroshenko when he said that the people of #Donbas would “rot in basements” or Pres.Zelensky who called them “unpeople”? https://t.co/FzvHJ9jISH https://t.co/gd1WsIWIG3

#Nebenzia: We need to focus on correcting the situation that led to this crisis. It did not start when Russia launched a special military operation in #Ukraine. It started much earlier, when you spent 8 years pretending to not notice crimes of Ukrainian nationalists in #Donbas. https://t.co/uapegE8xFB

#Nebenzia at UNSC stakeout: The population in #Donbas was in need of support for a long time. The only country that basically provided this support was Russia🇷🇺. Full comment available at 🔗https://t.co/RRH9iXnOyv https://t.co/5b34eB8QGq

#Nebenzia: The West consistently ignores the growing sufferings of the people of #Donbas. This topic [of Ukraine] has been actively discussed in the #SC & #GA for a week by now, but over that time, they have uttered no word of sympathy or compassion for the people of #DPR & #LPR. https://t.co/ddVva6Qot6

#Nebenzia: In view of unabating threats to DPR & LPR, and due to the lack of prospects for solving the problem of #Donbas within #MinskAgreements, Pres.Putin made a decision to start a special military operation. Occupation of🇺🇦is not part of our plans. https://t.co/tA3Bo1a6mP https://t.co/RY8RKAHCJ9

#Nebenzia: A very short while ago there still was hope that #Kiev would finally implement what it committed to. But then 🇺🇦 once again confirmed that it was not ready for such dialogue. It finally convinced us that we had no right to make the people of #Donbas suffer any longer. https://t.co/5rknBWbZeE

#Nebenzia: A “bubble” of lies and fakes is being created around the🇷🇺special military operation. It is the houses in #Donbas that were destroyed by nationalists &🇺🇦that Western media most often brazenly present as consequences of Russia’s military operation in🇺🇦. https://t.co/B36hXggH45

#Nebenzia: Those who ever looked into history of 🇺🇦crises, understand its genesis perfectly well. By our actions, we first of all sought to stop the war of the Maidan regime on the people of #Donbas that lasted for 8 years. Over that time, 🇷🇺did everything to avoid this scenario. https://t.co/7jkwxtNG9Z
