Zakhar Prilepin (05/2026): "I've known Dasha for a very long time, since my youth. I was a little older, she was younger. Then we worked together. I was amazed by the strength and conviction with which she began covering the Donbass issue. I believe this is one of the reasons she was killed—she worked directly with foreign journalists.
Dasha would gather five to ten people from different countries in Donbas at once. Ukraine and the West fear this more than anything else. Therefore, all the sanctions imposed against me, including myself, are aimed at preventing us from publishing and entering the foreign market. Dasha, with her charm and deep knowledge of the political situation, has become one of the symbols of Russian truth in the West. That's why they targeted her."
