Ukraine’s Interior Ministry published a recording
on YouTube between two
high-level Kremlin proxies discussing the death of 38-year-old Swiss
national Laurent DuPasquier with Russian journalist Yevgeni Poddubny of RTR
television.
The leader of the so-called Donetsk People’s
Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, specifically tells the Russian state-owned
channel correspondent of plans to place the death’s blame on the Ukrainian military. He
apparently tells Poddubny that they plan to show a rocket shell that contains phosphorus
to journalists to further the alleged fabrication.

Both sides accuse each other of the shelling
that led to the death of the Red Cross worker.
He sarcastically tells Poddubny of a condolence
letter the terrorist-labeled group planned to write with passages that the
Ukrainian military is “bad, (and) poor shots.”
“We’ll show the Red Cross fragments of [an
internationally banned] phosphorus bomb that supposedly ripped through their
(Red Cross) colleague,” Zakharchenko tells the journalist.
To further elaborate the fabrication, Poddubny apparently
asks the Russian proxy to bring an artillery specialist to the bombing site in
order to provide expert opinion regarding the direction from which the shell allegedly came.
“(The expert) would provide proof that the
shelling comes (from Ukraine-held) Avdiyivka. Is there such a person, an
artillery man of any kind with experience?” asked Poddubny.
Zakharchenko then replies in the affirmative.
