24 March 2022
▫️ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation.
▫️By the morning of March 24, the units of the Russian Armed Forces took control Izyum city in Kharkov region.
▫️ On the evening of March 23 and on the night of March 24, high-precision long-range sea- and air-based weapons attacked military facilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
▫️ As a result of strikes, 13 launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems were destroyed, including 9 S-300 and 4 Buk-M1 in Danilovka, south of #Kiev, formation headquarters and missile and artillery weapons depot in Bakhmut, Donetsk region,
as well as a temporary deployment point of the nationalist battalion in #Lisichansk city.
✈️💥Operational-tactical and army aviation hit 60 military assets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among them: 2 command posts, 2 multiple launch rocket systems, 4 ammunition depots,
47 areas of concentration of equipment and military hardware of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
💥Russian Air Defence means shot down 2 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near Staraya Markovka and #Kharkov.
💥In total, 257 unmanned aerial vehicles, 202 anti-aircraft missile systems, 1,572 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 160 multiple launch rocket systems, 633 field artillery and mortars,
as well as 1,379 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.
❗️☣️The Russian Defence Ministry continues to study documents received from employees of Ukrainian laboratories about secret military biological activities of the United States in #Ukraine.
▫️ Experts of the Russian #Nuclear, #Biological and #Chemical protection troops during the study of documents revealed new facts proving the direct involvement of the #US Department of Defence in the development of biological weapons components in #Ukraine.
▫️ In the near future, we will show original documents demonstrating that UP-2 biological project, which we have already talked about, was developed and approved by the Pentagon.
The main objective of this project was to carry out a molecular analysis of particularly dangerous infections endemic to #Ukraine. This work involved sampling the pathogen from old animal burial grounds to obtain new anthrax strains.
▫️However, the #Pentagon's experiments were not limited to the development of dangerous infections. For example, a pharmaceutical company contracted by the #US Department of Defence,
according to documents obtained, was working with the Ukrainian Defence Ministry to test unregistered medical drugs specifically on Ukrainian servicemen.
▫️We will tell you about these and other documented facts in the near future within a special briefing.
#UkraineWar 1/4 Yesterday, during an assault on one of the Ukrainian strongholds in the #Gorlovka direction, some Ukrainian soldiers tried to surrender, but were shot in the back by other of their comrades-in-arms.
2/4 This morning the Ukrainian fighters managed to dislodge from those positions, and the video shows the corpses of the Ukrainian soldiers who wanted to surrender. Not only were they shot in the backs of their own, but their bodies were also left behind.
3/4 The soldiers of the Ukrainian forces who want to surrender must take this fact into account and preliminarily eliminate those of their fellow soldiers who would shoot them in the back.
2/5 John and Tatiana Joyce, a married couple who fled Mariupol, described how they escaped from the city occupied by "#Azov".
3/5 According to them, neo-Nazi battalion fighters shelled the city incessantly, did not let civilians out, threatening to leave no trace of #Mariupol, and shot their own soldiers in the back.
On March 24, France 24 broadcast () a report from #Irpen (#Kiev region).
Among the outdated information there is a curious detail:
In a car with a red cross, an armed Ukrainian Forces driver and cameraman enjoy the freedom to move around the city to uncover Russian fighters' positions and conduct reconnaissance during the fighting.
Note: Previously, there was enough information about the delivery of foreign mercenaries to the front lines under the guise of medical workers.
Не нужно смущаться, когда украинских неонацистов называют неонацистами. Их украинский неонацизм в первую очередь есть русофобия в высших её проявлениях. Поэтому неонацизм русским невыгодно, да и просто глупо идеологически поддерживать.
2/6 Нужно как раз указывать и поправлять тех, кто начинает заменять термин "неонацизм" в отношении к украинским неонацистам, на термин "украинский националист" и под это сводить смысл к тому, что сам по себе национализм преступен и античеловечен.
3/6 Это опасная тенденция и она стала наблюдаться где-то примерно в середине месяца текущей операции. И наблюдается не где-нибудь, а в кремлёвских главных СМИ особенно быстро переключились армяне в путинской Russia Today. Это плохой признак.
Situation in #Mariupol by the end of March 26, 2022
🔹 As of today, the territorial control of the Ukrainian forces and the neo-Nazi organization "Azov" has been reduced to three areas: Azovstal [Azovstal plant], the northern area and the seaside area.
There is no longer any centralized communication between the precincts. What is not cleared is under the fire control of the Donetsk People's Militia.
🔹 On the left bank, the clearance of residential areas is being completed, and fighting is taking place in industrial areas adjacent to the Azovstal plant. In particular, we are talking about the fighting near the intersection of Ukrainian Cossacks and Taganrogskaya.
