"We cant guarantee that there is no way for someone to find out who the source is with the data. Thats why we cant make the data public."

Don't you think that this argument is not very strong? If there are, like, 400 journalists with unrestricted access to this data (is it so?), it's inevitable that all the data would be exposed. Maybe not to the public, but to the third parties with enough resources to find a weak link.

If this access is somehow restricted, then my question is: who is making decisions about what documents could be shown to the participants of your investigation?

You won't like my question, but I'll try.

One of the arguments for the invasion sounds like that: during the last eight years Ukraine regularly killed innocent Donbass citizens, including children (I don't believe you don't know this, but if it's the case, you can google Alley of Angels, for example).

What do you think about this? I mean, there was a Minsk agreement, that could in theory end this nightmare. There could be other possible steps to de-escalation, maybe. So, my question is: do you think that some of the responsibility for Donbass crisis lies on Ukraine and its politics at the time?

I'm not trying to hold Ukraine responsible for the invasion, of course. It's horrible, and Russia shouldn't do that. I'm just wondering what people from Donetsk think about it, especially pro-Ukraine people from Donetsk.
