Statement at the Knowledge. Unity marathon

Head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin said that, in his view, Russia has 'very little' left before victory in the special military operation. He gave the assessment on November 6 during the educational marathon 'Knowledge. Unity' taking place at the National Center 'Russia', reports Life.ru. 'A small question about security. Now, I believe, very little remains before victory, and then we will be able to fully, with all our heart, approach the development of both enterprises and, probably, new structural elements in the economy,' Pushilin said while speaking with young people.

Economy and personnel

According to the head of the DPR, after the end of hostilities the republic will have more opportunities for economic development — this concerns the operation of existing enterprises and the creation of new directions in the regional economy. Pushilin also addressed young specialists with an invitation to come work in the DPR: according to him, the republic is in acute need of qualified personnel, and the regional authorities are ready to create conditions for those who will link their future with Donbas.

Contradiction with the early November assessment

The statement noticeably diverges from what Pushilin said just a few days earlier: as Life.ru notes, citing his interview of November 1, at that time he warned that several major battles still lay ahead in the DPR, hostilities on the territory of the republic were far from over, and it was premature to speak of the imminent establishment of full control over the region. The publications do not make clear what explains the change in the assessment within a few days; both formulations belong to Pushilin himself, and the editorial team does not undertake to determine which of them more accurately reflects the situation.
