Dennis Puschilin has had a lot to do for weeks: in ever new messages, press conferences and video messages – around February 11th – warned the head of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” (DNR) of an alleged impending Ukrainian attack on the Moscow-controlled separatist region in eastern Ukraine. Pushilin, who was recently personally accepted into the Kremlin’s unity party “United Russia” by Russia’s ex-president Dmitriy Medvedev, failed to provide any evidence of this. The daily reports of the OSCE observer mission also provided no evidence of this.
