“Kosovo and some other parts of the Western Balkans are becoming a hotbed of crime. There are terrorists, drug dealers. Mercenaries are recruited there for military conflicts ignited by the US, among others. There is information that militants from Kosovo, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are being recruited to knock Russia off balance, which includes sending them to Donbass [in eastern Ukraine].”

“The situation has tangibly worsened on the contact line over the past day. The enemy is trying to escalate the conflict on direct orders from the Kyiv military and political leadership. The LPR [Luhansk People's Republic] mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination reported five attacks of the Ukrainian army at the LPR territory on February 17.”

“Russia's proxy authorities in occupied Donbas have committed human rights abuses, illegally imprisoned Ukrainian citizens, suppressed free speech and forced Ukrainians to take Russian passports. The world knows this, and Russia's lies about Donbas are another obvious attempt to shift blame for the suffering Russia has caused.”

“I do not rule out a referendum on Donbas in general. It might be about Donbas, it might be about Crimea, it might be about ending the war in general. So it may be that someone, this or that country can offer us certain conditions.”

“It must be taken into consideration that the Western partners are aggravating the situation [in the Donbas] by supplying Kyiv with modern lethal weapons and holding provocative military maneuvers in the Black Sea and other regions close to our borders.”

“However - regrettably - no agreement was reached upon a TCG [trilateral contact group - Ukraine, Russia, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)] statement on responding to cease-fire violations and their elimination in the future.”

“There's a close defence partnership that Turkey has cultivated with Ukraine in the last five to six years, which is really important to the Ukraine. But Russia considers [the eastern Ukrainian region of] Donbas a part of Greater Russia, it's right on the border. In the mindset of Putin, Ukraine represents a much more important space. That means he's going to be more aggressive in defending what he considers his sovereign rights.”

“The Kremlin has fears that a civil war could resume in Ukraine. And if a civil war, a full-scale military action, resumes near our borders that would threaten the Russian Federation's security. The ongoing escalation of tensions is quite unprecedented.”
