In the course of the live call-in show, Head of the DPR Denis Pushilin was asked whether he regrets his choice made in 2014.
“Personally, I have no regrets. I do not see how the situation could have developed differently. How would I look in the eye of my grandmother who had survived the Great Patriotic War? She told me many times what the Banderites are. And I had to come to terms with what happened in Kiev? Never!
There is the other side of the shield. How would I look my children in the eye? They would probably ask what I did in 2014. I believe that I made an informed and right choice, therefore, I have no regrets. Since 2014, I have not met people who would regret. We will continue to build the Republic in such a way that even a thought would not appear that we have gone the wrong way,” he said.
