Advisor to Strelkov announces a military campaign against Lviv and the return of all Galicia to Russia
Yalta, August 29 (New Region, Mikhail Ryabov) - The Russian militia of Donbass should not limit the plans of their military campaign to Kiev; Lvov and all of Galicia should be returned to Russian control.
Igor Druz, adviser to the leader of the pro-Russian Donbass rebels Igor Strelkov, stated this at a conference in Yalta.

According to Druz, military conflict remains the only way to resolve contradictions in Ukraine. “We can’t have it any other way,” he said.
“By the way, I honestly don’t understand why we should give up Galicia in the future? Just 30 years ago, Galicia was absolutely communist for the most part. All these Farions, all the Tyagniboks were young Komsomol members, and fanatical ones at that. Farion was a fanatical communist back in 1989, she wrote articles in defense of Marxism-Leninism, when in Moscow this was already considered bad form.
So, all this is a question of control over consciousness. Galicians loved Yushchenko, but now they curse him. And Poroshenko is the opposite! The Americans relied on 25-30 percent of the population of Galicia, who were strongly anti-Russian. But why can’t we, the Russian Empire, rely on the same number of people who are in the opposite mood?
Public opinion doesn't matter to me. What, the Russian army, which entered Paris in 1815, was interested in the opinion of the Parisians, or the opinion of the Berliners in 1945? What does it matter? We are Orthodox people. There is God's truth, and there is the opinion of the crowd. The opinion of the crowd is very changeable,” said Strelkov’s adviser.
