The so-called "DNR court" sentenced ardent supporter of the Russian World, the "DNR" blogger Roman Manekin to 2.5 years in prison in a penal colony. This was said in messages in the separatist segment of social networks. Manekin was arrested in occupied Donetsk five months ago. "None of the relatives and friends of Roman is privy to the details of the verdict, the arguments of the prosecution and the circumstances of the case (closed sessions were held three times), according to information received orally by relatives under the walls of the court (where the guards literally drove them across the lawn), it became known about a term of 2.5 years with serving in a penal colony. The court's decision itself was promised to be shown "later", - the message said. Local bloggers who support Manekin were outraged by the "injustice, manipulation of facts and the closed nature of" his "case". Roman Manekin is a native of Makiivka (Donetsk oblast). He moved to Moscow in the 90s and became a citizen of the Russian Federation. He fervently supported the Russian Spring in 2014 and even returned to occupied Donetsk, positioning himself as a "consultant" from Moscow. At the same time, he regularly wrote emotional posts on social networks in which he idealized the Russian World and criticized the "mistakes of the authorities", including leader of the "DNR" Denis Pushilin, about whose actions he even wrote a letter to head of the Russian Federation Putin. Manekin was repeatedly arrested in CADO, he was tortured during his detention in the pre-trial detention center, he himself wrote about a broken leg.

The cancellation of the curfew in CADO on the summer weekends does not mean that violators of the order cannot be fined and taken to the "DNR regional departments". This was written about in separatist segment of social networks.

The so-called "police" will deliver the "violators" to the "city district internal affairs body to draw up a protocol on an administrative offense". "Accordingly, your "noisy" rest will inevitably be ruined", - the occupiers warned the CADO residents.
Militants of the "LNR MIA" detained the deputy head of the Republican Network Company "state-owned enterprise" while accepting a large bribe.

The renovation of the circus building is being discussed in occupied Donetsk. Even the project is ready, but the townspeople do not believe in its implementation. Separatist media and Donetsk residents wrote this in social networks. "The circus roof will begin to be restored in the near future. We hope that the reconstruction of the roof will be completed by the end of the summer season", - separatists wrote with reference to "deputy general director" of the circus Artur Kharlamov. In addition to the roof, they are going to remodel the auditorium, the facade of the building, as well as establish air conditioning and air heating systems. The townspeople inquire whether there is a budget for the repair of the circus. "Will the circus be expanded to the limits of the republic?
