I won’t tell his name so as not to endanger him (those bitches monitor the web).

08:25 Sergii Gorbachev (SG)

Good morning. Is everything ok? Have any of your friends been harmed?

08:26 AM Kramatorsk

Thanks, everything is ok. Only the guys from the barricades were harmed, my friends don’t go there

08:27 SG

Briefly, how are things? We can’t understand shit

8:27 AM Kramatorsk

By the way, the dead “nurse” isn’t a nurse at all.

8:30 AM SG

That could be expected. Did she go to the barricades?

8:32 AM Kramatorsk

I realize you don’t speak badly of the dead… she’s a local vocational school student, she hung around the ExecCom building, hit on guys with guns… she wore the cross armband for show… and when the shooting started her friends gave her a ride to see it… it’s unclear what happened later.

Her own could have killed her… they were given the assault rifles, yet they have no brains… it’s a critical combat situation, everyone shot at from all sides…

8:36 AM SG

I see, however, the Russian propaganda will still spout its lies. Most importantly: who controls the town now?

8:36 AM Kramatorsk

NO ONE!!!

The PRD [People’s Republic of Donetsk] can’t and won’t, the local authorities can’t work… the police exists in principle, but does nothing… the military isn’t going to take the town under control… they just stay in the fields around town…

8:40 AM SG

F..k… pardon my French…

Is there food and water in the town? Hasn’t the supply been blocked?

8:42 AM Kramatorsk

Well, looks like there is… I haven’t visited the stores yet…

8:45 AM SG

I see. We can only hope for the best. And for reasonable people to wake up.

8:47 AM Kramatorsk

Sergii, it doesn’t matter if we wake up… we need support…

8:47 AM SG

And what do you need most now?

8:48 AM Kramatorsk

Some decisiveness from the authorities in Kyiv… There are groups here that have NO problems with weapons! What can we put up against them–marches with ribbons?

I’ve passed three pro-Russian checkpoints today: they have LOTS of weapons… Everything is brand new, a guy sits on each side of the road with an assault rifle and a grenade launcher… and he’s sitting on a crate of weapons!!!

The army stays between the towns… the towns are under FULL control of those guys…

However, Avakov is right about something: ok, we do clear the towns, and what’s next? Who do we hand them to?

8:52 AM SG

How many pro-Ukrainians are really ready to take up weapons?

8:53 AM Kramatorsk

I dunno, we didn’t count, but there are enough… many friends are interested: “Will there be a militia? I would join it, if it isn’t organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because Avakov can only wag his tongue…”

===

P.S. I’ve left everything intact. The conflicting opinions on Avakov are opinions of two different people.

“Avakov is right in some things” is the opinion of the person I talked with. “Avakov can only wag his tongue” is the opinion of his friends.

Concerning the point that “there’s no one to hand the power to in the town” – that means that if there are no armed pro-Ukrainians in the town, there won’t be anyone to hand the town to: no one would hold it.

    “No one would hold it” was exactly one of the biggest mistakes, the Ukrainian armed forces made during these “ATOs”. With no one there to defend the “freed” towns, the pro-russian terrorists come right back and sit at their check points again. That does not instill faith in the possibly remining pro-ukrainian crowd in these towns.

    Yulia Izotova was a 21 years old girl from Kramatorsk killed in her hometown, spitting on her dead body will not help anyone.
