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.”

==Minsk Agreements==

==Minsk Agreements==

A truce was negotiated between the two separatist Republics and the Kyiv regime in 2015 in the [[Belarus]]ian capital of [[Minsk]] and known as the Minsk Agreements.  The Agreements were negotiated with the help of [[France]] and [[Germany]].  [[Moscow]] backed the Minsk Agreements which Kyiv also agreed to, and the [[United Nations Security Council]] endorsed the agreements as well. The Minsk Agreements would give autonomy to the two provinces while remaining part of Ukraine.  However the Ukraine regime did nothing to further implement the agreements after 2015, and only a ceasefire for the use of heavy weapons (tanks and artillery) remained in place.
