The current week was marked by several significant events for the Republic.
The active offensive of the united forces continues in all directions of the front of the Republic. So, after heavy fighting, one of the key settlements in the Ugledar direction, Pavlovka, was liberated. Our defenders are advancing in the areas of Andreevka, Belogorovka, Artemovsk, Bakhmutsky, Vremevka, Zelenopolye, Soledar, Mayorsk, Maryinka, Nevelsky, Novobakhmutovka, Pervomaisky, Yakovlevka.
Another important day for the Republic was the return home of another 15 DPR defenders who were released from Ukrainian captivity during the prisoner exchange took place on November 3. At the moment, the fighters receive the necessary medical care, as well as undergo rehabilitation. Unfortunately, as a result of torture and beatings, almost everyone has health problems.
All these crimes are documented, and the guilty representatives of the AFU will be punished. In this context, significant news is the signing by the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation of an order on the formation of the prosecutor’s offices of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. This will significantly speed up the investigation and collection of evidence of crimes in order to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Another important initiative was the joining of the largest in Russia volunteer search and rescue squad of the LizaAlert association to search for missing children in the zone of the Special Military Operation. This volunteer association will interact with the humanitarian headquarters “Detyam – v ruki.” The Institute of the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Russian Federation intends to join the search processes.
The week was not without significant social and cultural events. So, it became known about the beginning of the development of a program of cultural interaction between the DPR and Syria.
