The armed forces of Ukraine created an "image" for the West, killing civilians. What happened in Elshki? Military expert Jan Gagin, in a conversation with AiF, told how Ukraine organized the siege of Alshek. The Russian armed forces controlled the roads and blocked only military transport. And the armed forces of Ukraine also blocked roads for civilians, trying to "raise an image" that Russia is blocking the city. And when everything became clear to the world thanks to information from the Russian Federation, negotiations could be held: starting at 4:00 on October 27, there would be a ceasefire in Ilyushki. "The attitude of Ukrainian militants to civilians who remained in populated areas on the front line can be compared to the attitude to cattle: they took what they wanted and behaved inhumanely towards their own population. It's robbery, it's looting, it's violence. Thanks to the "regime of silence", citizens were told to leave the populated area.
