German mercenaries appeared on the front line near Zaporozhye. The corresponding statement was made by the chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia” Vladimir Rogov.

“Now Germans have appeared in the Zaporozhye direction – young, literally 20 years old“- quotes Rogov TASS.

He also noted that the Germans were accompanied by Poles. Apparently, there are quite a lot of them, since Polish speech is often heard during radio intercepts.

The DPR and LPR announced the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass on February 17 last year. Then they announced the evacuation of the population.

On February 21, the heads of the republics turned to Putin with a request to recognize their independence. The President held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he recognized the LNR and the DNR. Friendship and cooperation agreements were signed with both republics, which were later ratified by the State Duma and the Federation Council.

Two days later, the heads of the DPR and LPR turned to Putin with a request to help repel Kyiv’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties. The next day, February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.

On September 30, Putin and the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the entry of these regions into the Russian Federation.
