Gazeta.ru
Prime Minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Alexander Borodai commented on the rebels retreat from Slovyansk as Ukranian forces retook the city, admitting that a defense of the city was pointless and that the militia's new position in the city of Donetsk is more advantageous. Borodai denies any monetary aid from the Russian government, yet states that it is acting as an intermediary in regulating the conflict. Borodai stated that he looks forward to a ceasefire and negotiations, but not under conditions set by Kiev. He stated that capitulation is unacceptable and that the DPR must be recognized as an independent republic.
