On April 4, a meeting of the People’s Council’s faction “Donetsk Republic” was held in the session hall of the Government House, in which the Head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko participated. The Chairman of the DPR People’s Council Denis Pushilin attended the meeting as well.

Recently, I came across news about Ukrainian know-how. Scientists from Kremenchuk have developed a technology for gas extraction from blue-green algae, which, in their opinion, can help in solving the country's energy problems. Their development will not only clean the Dnieper water from algae, but also organize heating in winter.

The Donetsk People's Republic is ready for a full ceasefire from midnight on April 1, an agreement on which was reached by the Contact group's members in Minsk on March 29. This was announced today to journalists by the head of the DPR delegation to the peace talks, the Chairman of the People's Council Denis Pushilin.

At the peace talks in the capital of Belarus, the Contact group managed to agree on a ceasefire in connection with the Easter holidays and the breeding of forces and facilities in Stanitsa Luganskaya. This was told in the air of the "Theme" programme on the "Union" TV channel by the DPR envoy, the Chairman of the People's Council Denis Pushilin.

The humanitarian programme for the reunification of the Donbass people, initiated by the Heads of People's Republics, is not just help to needy compatriots living in territories temporarily under control of Ukraine. This is a step aimed at preserving and restoring cultural, professional, social ties. This is another source of truth about how we live here, where we move and how we build our state.

Today, Ukraine is experiencing the forcible introduction of a very peculiar version of the national identity that is based on the cultural specificity of western Ukraine (primarily Galicia), the Uniate refraction, which is unusual for the majority of the population, the western Christian discourse and the desperate Russophobia.

Vice Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Irina Gerashchenko stated that the Donbass Republics are increasingly integrating into the Russian Federation, and the introduction of external management at the enterprises of Ukrainian oligarchs allowed the LDPR to actually switch to self-sufficiency.

Since April 2014, by the decree of the President of Ukraine No. 405/2014, Kiev has introduced the regime of "antiterrorist operation," as well as the economic and transport blockade.

On March 29, a regular meeting of the Contact group on peaceful settlement of the conflict in Donbass took place in Minsk. The agenda included issues related to the situation at the line of demarcation, the complete transport blockade of Donbass by Ukraine and the exchange of prisoners.

Last night in Lutsk, there was an attack on the building of the Consulate General of Poland, as it was reported by Ukrainian media. In addition to the most egregious fact, attention is paid to the way this information is submitted, including by representatives of law enforcement agencies.
