The Russian army claims to have achieved the junction between its troops and those of the pro-Russian separatists of Donbass, in the south-east of Ukraine. The 20 Hours was able to follow the separatist forces advancing towards the sea ofAzov. They did not hesitate to organize a concert to the glory of Vladimir Putin. A surreal scene.
A few days ago, they were just civilians. Wednesday, March 2, they wear the uniform of pro-Russian separatists. The mobilization was decreed for all men, from 18 to 55 years old. They all say they are ready to fight alongside the Russians to conquer all Donbass (Ukraine).
To galvanize the troops, a Russian singing star came to give a concert. She sings of the greatness of those who fight for the Donbass. “Our homeland is the Republic of Donetsk, Donbass. We are for Russia”says a separatist soldier, moved by this spectacle. In a few days, the soldiers will leave for the front. In the darkness of the concert hall, some faces are anxious. “Of course I am thinking of the soldiers opposite. The soldiers on the other side killed children and women”says the artist who performed in front of the soldiers.
