Donbass War: Summer 2014

‘When it comes to your house with the need to kill you, you no longer need to think about should you pull the trigger or should you not use self-defence measures.’ Vladimir Kononov, former Minister of Defense of the DPR (2014-2018) and other witnesses of the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine talk about the events of 2014.

It is a turning point in the history of the country. The rural west and the industrial east have always differed in mentality, communication and traditions. In the end, conflicts and contradictions, which are found everywhere, resulted in civil confrontation and war.
