→Legality of Declarations of Independence
==Legality of Declarations of Independence==
==Legality of Declarations of Independence==
The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by [[the West]]'s successful demands for [[Kosovo]] to be recognized as independent from [[Serbia]], and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.<ref>https://www.icj-cij.org/en/case/141</ref>

On March 25, 2019 Vasily Prozorov, a former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) held a press conference. He reported that from April 2014 he rendered assistance to the special services of Russia. “From April 2014 I absolutely voluntarily, for ideological reasons, assisted the special services of the [[Russian Federation]] in obtaining information about the activities of Ukrainian [[law enforcement]], in particular in the area of the ATO (Kiev’s military operation in the Donbass),” he stressed. According to Prozorov, he decided to do this after the events on “[[Maidan]]”.
Prozorov informed Russia about the whereabouts of Russian''Life News'' journalists detained in May 2014 by Ukrainian military personnel. He described that back then he worked in the team of the Security Service of Ukraine in one of the villages near Slavyansk, where these journalists were detained. He immediately reported where they were, “because there were many who wanted to introduce your colleagues as military personnel and start their interrogations.”
In the area of conducting military operations in Donbass there are secret SBU prisons. One of them is located at the airport of [[Mariupol]]. The location is called “the library (библиотека),<ref>https://youtu.be/2r5g0W3bTXg</ref> and its prisoners are called books”. According to Prozorov, it was possible to end up in such a prison for anything, including on suspicion of working for the Russian Federation, [[DPR]], and [[LPR]].
The leaders of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics became victims of special operations, and not internal conflicts. “I am not omniscient, but concerning Motorola and Givi I am 100% sure that it was an operation of the special fifth department of the SBU and the special operations forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” he specified. According to Prozorov, employees of the [[Special Operations Forces]] are constantly trained under the guidance of instructors from the UK and other countries. Their specialties are acts of terrorism and the deployment of a partisan insurrection movement.
[[Fascist]] and Nazi views are widespread in Ukrainian law enforcement structures. Prozorov noted that this concerns not only voluntary battalions, where this phenomenon is rampant, but also about linear units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and National Guard.
The “Azov” formation is a non-controlled paramilitary formation that is subordinated only to its leader and the Interior Minister [[Arsen Avakov]]. Prozorov recalled that in May 2017 another truce was concluded between the parties to the conflict. However, on May 9-10 the Azov artillery shelled the DPR and Mariupol. The former SBU officer noted that this is how the battalion carried out the orders of their superior, without informing the leadership of the ATO and the National Guard.
