“Officers are obliged to go there,” the Kremlin spokesman stressed. He agreed that staying in some areas of Donbass is still dangerous, carries risks, but these conditions will not prevent officials and those who come there at the call of their hearts from carrying out their duties.
Peskov expressed his condolences to the families and friends of those killed in the shelling, which injured Rogozin and DPR Prime Minister Vitaly Khotsenko. The Kremlin spokesman wished the injured a speedy recovery.
