Nationalists and Zelensky to blame. Putin comments on failed troop disengagement

He believes nationalists and Zelensky are to blame.

Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on the failed troop withdrawal in Donbas. This is reported by Ukrainian News.

“We agreed on the disengagement of forces, but the current president simply cannot ensure the disengagement of combat units and equipment — well, he cannot. Nationalist military formations came there and publicly declared: if the army leaves these positions, we will stand there. The army is not leaving,” — Putin said.

He says that the so-called “DPR” and “LPR” have repeatedly declared their readiness for troop withdrawal.

It is worth noting that the withdrawal of forces from Zolote was scheduled for October 7, but shelling by militants disrupted it. Now Ukraine intends to wait for a seven-day period without violations of the ceasefire, which is still not happening.

Also, the leader of the National Corps party and the first commander of the Azov regiment Andriy Biletsky arrived in the city of Zolote in Luhansk region on Sunday, October 6, which borders occupied territory, and pledged together with veterans of the anti-terrorist operation to defend it in the event of a withdrawal of Ukrainian troops.
