Leaders of the “LDNR” militants Leonid Pasechnik and Denis Pushilin recorded their video statements about the evacuation of Donbass residents to Russia on February 16, that is, two days before the situation escalated.

Journalist Irina Romaliyskaya writes about this on Facebook , publishing screenshots to confirm her words.

“Leonid Pasechnik, the leader of the Luhansk militants, calls on the residents of the so-called “LPR” to evacuate to Russia. His video message is published by the militants’ resources. We have downloaded it. The metadata shows that this video was created on February 16. Not today. Not urgently. They prepared it in advance,” she noted She. – The same story with the appeal of Pushilin. “
