Defense Minister DND Igor Strelkov told about projects on defense of Donetsk. In his opinion, the Ukrainian law enforcers is aimed at liquidation of infrastructure of the metropolis to keep local residents without work. Also, Shooters believes that now Donetsk temporarily not ready for this defense. However, all necessary measures are already being taken.

"Had not carried out any defensive events. Then, as the city prepared for defense, is the level of Slavyansk two months ago. In other words built fortifications can slow down the APCS and something like nazvanii or police units. Against armored columns opponent metropolis currently can defend itself with the big stretch. But we take urgent measures to Donetsk was ready to fight", - quotes ITAR-TASS of the Minister of defence of the Donetsk national Republic.

Igor Strelkov outlined in addition on the strategy chosen by Ukrainian law-enforcers for confrontation with the militia. The main impact of the army is focused not on the position of the militia, and the infrastructure of the town. "And in Slavyansk, and in Kramatorsk was attacked not the position of the militia, and not even city blocks and factories and industrial companies. There were no roadblocks, or even outposts, and yet they often laborious and echoed their artillery. The idea was to maximize damage the infrastructure. To leave the planet without work, without homes, without anything else. To solve the task sentencing population to care, deprivation of livelihood, even after the fighting ends," said Shooters.

To implement similar scenario, says defense Minister DND, and the population of Donetsk. "I believe that today's Ukrainian Chapter and Chapter army will not stop before to do the same with Donetsk", - he added. For safety of metropolis militia is necessary to take additional mobilization events. "Unfortunately, the resources to achieve the desired result, first of all arms, ammunition, not prepared. Them today. Yet a few thousand volunteers we could equip, arm and learn, even quickly. For an insignificant period of time. I believe that 80 thousand people would be enough to stop the Ukrainian army," said Shooters.

However, the headmaster of the militia have the exact projects to increase combat readiness. The most important similar measure will consist in creating a contract army. "Starting this month, the militia will pay quite serious by local standards the amount from 5 to 8 thousand UAH, which translated into domestic currency is from 15 to 23.5 thousand rubles, we expect from July to use the payment. Maybe it will help people who are currently fluctuating, can't find within themselves the strength to stand on his feet. I.e. we will create contract-based army", - stated the Minister of defense of the Donetsk national Republic.

Besides all this, the mayor of Donetsk Oleksandr Lukyanchenko told that, according to him, the forces of militia took the Donetsk state factory of chemical products, which are manufactured explosive tools and combat vehicles for the armed forces. "What is there adepts DND, I know, as a military unit, which preserved this plant, was disarmed," he stated Lukyanchenko. What is being done with explosives, which is located at the plant, are not reported.
