Russian President Vladimir Putin forwarded the journalist’s question on how to give the order to shoot at his own people, and advised to ask the leadership of Ukraine about this. RBC broadcasts a large press conference of the head of state.
“When asked whether it is possible to give orders to shoot [по своим]… Ask the current political leadership of Ukraine. How do they give orders to shoot at Donbass? On a daily basis, ”the president said.
He stressed that Russia and Ukraine some time ago reached an agreement that the order to return fire in case of fire from any side can only be given by higher leaders. This decision was made in order to completely stop the shelling, Putin said.
“The Kiev authorities later took and canceled this decision, transferring the decision-making power to the level of field commanders. And everything resumed, ”he said.
