2/4 It has already been noted a bit about the personality of #Akhmetov,
3/4 who after the coup in Kiev, #Ukraine in 2014 began to fund Ukrainian neo-Nazis from #Azov and Chechen-speaking people living in the West, who had fought in Shyrokyne near #Mariupol earlier.
4/4 We don't need to go into the assessment of Akhmetov's religiosity, but we know for a fact that real #Muslims, unlike some, came to rebuild mosques in #Donbas.

That is why I cannot keep silent about what happened in Krasnyy Liman.
Colonel General Alexander Lapin, commander of the Central Military District, led the defense of this area.
3/17
This is the same Lapin who received the star of Hero of Russia for the capture of Lisichansk, although de facto he was nowhere near there. Lapin was also subordinated to the troops of the Western Military District.
"The intensity of shelling of Energodar by militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has sharply increased.

2/ After the video appeared from the eastern outskirts of Zarechnoye with the blown up bridge (49.021573, 37.952583), which was occupied by the AFU, it became clear that the entire "road of life" was already under AFU control.
3/ Russian artillery continues to work on suitable AFU units, but whereas previously the focus was on Liman, now the goal of Ukrainian formations is to blockade Kremenna and take control of the reservoirs on the Zherebets River.
