Regarding attack on #Belarus
The Belarusian edition of BYPOL writes: today In the morning, two explosions occurred at the Machulishchi military airfield, located 12 km from #Minsk, as a result of which a #Russian A-50 AWACS military transport aircraft was damaged.
The Ministry of Defense of the #Russian Federation has not yet commented on the situation.
Reportedly 6 UAVs were launched from Chernihiv region and #Kyiv region. 4 were shot down on approach, 1 was shot down over the airfield and its wreckage fell on the maintenance equipment.
1 unit was able to drop a warhead on one of the aircraft belonging to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of #Belarus, after which the fire spread to the side of the Ministry of Defense of the #Russian Federation.
Did you know that after 2014 Ukraine build a dam to cut off water supply to #Crimea. Clearly they did not consider it a part of Ukraine any longer. One of the first things that Russia has accomplished is allowing water to flow to millions by unblocking of the hydrotechnical unit
There was always still risk that some home the only source of drinking water in #Crimea would be cut off again. Not anymore #Kyiv will no longer be able to deprive Crimea of water.
A year after the unblocking of the hydrotechnical unit of the North Crimean Canal, located in the Kherson region, bypass channels were built and other measures were taken in case the dam collapsed, said the head of the #Crimea, Sergei Aksenov.
#Berlin that is really touching
The #Russian tank dragged and placed in center of Berlin with a NAFO cut out. #German people brought 2000 roses 🌹 and decorated it. Saying they don't want #war. They want to maintain #friendship with #Russia and #Ukraine and want #peace. 🕊️
This really signals to #Russia, #German ppl aren't your enemy!
I think this msg will resonate with many #Russians!
Stop escalation! Encourage peace 🕊️
Work on solution for the conflict between 2 Slavic nations that has destabilized the world 🌎! #Germans show there is a path!
Russians on channels response:
"Germans are good people. They suffered a lot after World War II. They are well aware that such actions (of their government) will not lead to anything good.
So for those who aren't aware about situation in #Transnistria what's this all about?
There is warehouses in the Transnistrian village of Kolbasna are the largest arsenal in Europe. They are located just 2 kilometers from the border with #Ukraine.
Created in the 1940s.
In warehouses there is an arsenal of the 14th Guards Combined Arms Army of the USSR, weapons, and ammunition from the GDR and Czechoslovakia.
▪️ The arsenal today contains more than 20 thousand tons of artillery ammunition, ammunition for infantry..
Experts believe that this ammunition will last for decades of hostilities.
The detonation of the arsenal will be equal to the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
The warehouses are guarded by a task force of #Russian troops and the military of #Transnistria
#Merkel lied about a lot more than just Minsk agreements. Berlin has been directly involved in pre-war preparations since 2018.
On behalf of the #German government, starting in 2018, Lieutenant General Volker Halbauer became an adviser to the Minister of Defense of #Ukraine.
In fact, Halbauer took over the management of the reforms of the #Ukrainian army.
Officially #Merkel authorized the general to deal with the creation and reform of the sanitary services of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine.
But he was engaged in the reform of the army - from the fight against corruption to new methods of warfare.
So #German government at all stages, starting from 2018, had full information about the state and readiness for war of the #Ukrainian army.
the #Belgorod region, the plane of the Ministry of Defense of the #Russian Federation crashed , the authorities of the region said.
Update about a plane crash in Belgorod
According to preliminary reports, the aircraft in question was a Su-25. Emergency services are working at the crash site.
The pilot ejected and survived
Seems it was a mishap. Su25 brushed up with civilian unoccupied structure and went down. No one was injured in the incident including the pilot.
