DPR Leader Says Russia Is Fighting Ukraine's Army and Western Support Network
Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian-installed administration in Ukraine's Donetsk region, said Ukrainian forces are backed by Western intelligence services, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Denis Pushilin, the head of the Russian-installed administration in Ukraine's Donetsk region, said that Russia is fighting not only against the Ukrainian military but also against what he described as a broader Western war effort, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Pushilin was quoted as saying that the Ukrainian military receives support from Western intelligence services, TASS reported. The outlet did not provide additional details on the specific nature or source of that alleged support.
TASS did not specify the context, date, or venue of Pushilin's remarks in the excerpt reviewed. Pushilin has served as the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, a self-proclaimed entity in eastern Ukraine that Russia annexed in 2022 following its invasion of the country, a move not recognized by most of the international community.
The claims made by Pushilin could not be independently verified. Western governments and Ukraine have not immediately commented on the specific statements reported by TASS.
The report comes amid the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has drawn military, financial, and intelligence support for Kyiv from a coalition of Western nations since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
