I think the other question is:
How badly do the bad actors of Donetsk want to see an army of Aussies in their backyards???
If they are holding any bodies back they best “find” them and release them.
As a whole, they behaved as if they were at best dull normal to begin with with so some worse off than that isn't really shocking. In the past month it seems those who aren't dull normal took over here and there, but far from everywhere in every tribe.
