Blockade of Donbass is not in the fight against smuggling, and personal PR campaign of the people’s Deputy Seeds Semenchenko, who organized it. This was stated by the fighter of “Azov” Oleg Shiryaev.
“The blockade of roads in the area ATO. Much has been said about it, a lot of big words written. As always it was important for me to understand the essence and consequences – that’s what the guys from “Eastern corps” went to the place. All this time I analyzed the received information, the materials from the press, and-most important – who and what gives this information, who and how evaluates the consequences of who and how the action involved. The findings are disappointing for those who believe in patriotism because patriotism is just there and does not smell – this is the main conclusion I did,” he wrote on his page in Facebook.
“We have not seen among the organizers and leaders of the blockade of caring for people and their interests – they live for today, looking for their moment of glory. I don’t want to take part in personal public relations campaigns and the theater of one actor Semyon Semenchenko. His actions have always been famous for populism, but this is beyond all limits of decency. For me and my sister he became a symbol of what in any case should not become a patriot and military commander – an empty place in the form and with the warm armchair under your bum,” added Shiryaev.
According to him, Semenchenko declared the blockade to stop smuggling and release our prisoners, was “another bubble and a platform for political PR those who do not care about damage to the budget of the country and the simple people”.
“And that we with you will have to pay for the consequences that will bring this siege. Benefit from the blockade in the form in which it now is (received. – Ed.) – Russia. To buy coal it causes us to those who not allow to take out from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions coal is mined, repeat – mined, not bought! in our mines. And everyone has forgotten about the prisoners… already there are plans to capture thermal and cheap PR on poverty,” summed up the “azovets”.
As you know, January 25 persons called veterans of military action in the Donbass and, in particular, people’s deputies Vladimir Parasyuk and semen Semenchenko, blocked the railway section Luhansk – Popasna in the framework of a trade embargo non-government-controlled regions of Donbas. Was later blocked all the railway track in the direction of uncontrolled territories.
15 February, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said that the blockade of the supply deficit of anthracite coal used by thermal power plants of Ukraine is a crime and undermines the whole national economy.
In connection with the blockade of coal supplies from Donbass in Ukraine from 17 February introduced a state of emergency in the energy sector.
