Russian "Grads" worked: Arestovich about the murder of Ukrainian prisoners in Yelenovka

According to him, today every world leader must understand that the whole world "is dealing with a creature that consciously and systematically undermines the very foundations of civilization - as such."

Local residents of the occupied Yelenovka reported on the work of Russian "Grads" in the colony where Ukrainian prisoners of war were kept.

Oleksiy Arestovich, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, announced this.

According to him, the "Kremlin scarecrows" have decided to add another war crime to their account.

As Arestovich noted, the inflamed brain of the authors of this massacre tried to solve several problems at once:
1) hide evidence of torture and murder in the colony,
2) to direct the anger of relatives and sympathizers of "Azov" against the authorities of Ukraine ("bastards, get our guys out!!! They are being killed there!!!"),
3) physically destroy some of the prisoners,
4) to discredit the whole of Ukraine as a society that shoots its own prisoners,
5) to discredit Himars and ideally (for them) - to demand to put them under control (during or in the process of investigation),
6) to distract from the video with the cutting off of the genitals of a Ukrainian military prisoner by the Russian military, which began to be widely distributed.

"The Russians did not take into account that there are local testimonies and there are means of objective control that make it possible to establish exactly where and how the fire was fired (missiles were fired). Undoubtedly, this crime against humanity will add determination to the American leadership to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, and international justice - determination to catch up with the guilty. In fact, we are dealing with another Katyn - the massacre of prisoners of war. Today, every world leader must understand that the whole world is dealing with a creature that deliberately and systematically undermines the very foundations of civilization - as such. And in the name of civilization and must be crushed to zero - ruthlessly and to the end," Arestovich said.

As you know, today pro-Russian militants reported the death of 40 Ukrainian fighters as a result of a strike on the Yelenovskaya colony. It was later reported that the death toll had risen.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out targeted artillery shelling of the correctional facility in Yelenovka.

The leader of "Azov" Andrei Beletsky announced a "hunt" for every criminal involved in the murder of captured "Azov" in Yelenovka.

Volunteer battalions are being formed throughout the Russian Federation to be sent to war in Ukraine. Analysts estimate that more than 30,000 volunteers could be mobilized to fill the ranks of the Russian army.

At the same time, according to CNN, this does not always require appropriate military experience.

According to the publication, Russia is looking for a replacement for its military, which was exhausted in the five months of the war, and those who were liquidated by the defenders of Ukraine. Of the 30,000 mobilized, about a third of them plan to be thrown into the Donbass.

Last week, the head of British intelligence MI6, Richard Mu, expressed confidence that "it will be increasingly difficult for the Russians to supply labor over the next few weeks." This, in turn, will give Ukraine a key opportunity to strike back.

Putin has long resisted the idea of general mobilization in Russia, and the spring 2022 call was similar to last year's call. Volunteer battalions are one way to replenish the size of the Russian army without such a radical step.

At the same time, it is noted that calls to join them, as a rule, are focused on poorer and more isolated regions, using "quick money" as bait.

The publication wonders what impact these battalions can have. Chechen volunteer detachments played a huge role in the Donbass campaign, especially in Mariupol. But they are relatively well equipped and have a lot of combat experience. The battalions gathering elsewhere are clearly not.

Some battalions will engage exclusively in combat support and combat support operations, while others will reinforce existing military units or form combat battalions, Ekaterina Stepanenko, a Russia researcher at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, was quoted by CNN as saying.

According to her, the Russian leadership plans to allocate a month to train volunteers, but this is unlikely to turn them into effective soldiers without military experience.

There should no longer be any doubt that Russia intends to dismantle Ukraine and "completely wipe it off the map."

This was stated by US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, reports Sky News.

According to her, there are growing signs that the Kremlin is preparing the ground for an attempt to annex all the territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, through fictitious "referendums" or a decree on joining Russia.

Thomas-Greenfield added that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov even said that "this is a Russian military target."

The comments came after Lavrov told US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that Ukraine's "constant pumping" of US and NATO weapons has only "prolonged the agony of the regime in Kyiv, prolonging the conflict and increasing casualties."

As UNIAN reported earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. It was the first time they had spoken since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

According to the Secretary of State, Lavrov said that the change of the democratically elected government of Ukraine is part of Russia's plans. He threatened sanctions if he tried to implement this plan.

At least 5 thousand dolphins have already died in the Black Sea due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation.

At least 5 thousand dolphins have already died in the Black Sea due to the military aggression of the Russian Federation. This was announced by Doctor of Biological Sciences, an employee of the National Natural Park "Tuzlovsky Limany" (Odessa region) Ivan Rusev.

According to him, due to the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, a lot of dolphins died on the territory of several countries, including rare ones and those listed in the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. He added that yesterday he washed up on the coast of the national park an azovka and a white barrel, and on the Odessa beach - a white barrel.

"According to our estimates, the total number of dead dolphins of three species in the Black Sea due to hostilities is, according to our lowest estimates, at least 5 thousand individuals for the period of the war in 2022. Add to this the fact that the sea throws ashore no more than 5% of all dead animals," Rusev says. The remaining 95% of dead animals go to the bottom of the sea, so they cannot be registered.

"They are inaccessible to detection and counting from the shore, so we believe that during the war of Russian barbarians against Ukraine, probably tens of thousands of dolphins have already died," the scientist believes.

enemy tactics in the Kherson region: trying to restore bridges and hiding behind civilian

The Russian invaders are trying to restore the destroyed bridges in the Kherson region and are building pontoons, hiding behind civilians.

The head of the Joint Coordinating Press Center of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine, Natalia Gumenyuk, said this on the air.

"They are trying to establish alternative options (transport routes - UNIAN), because without this they will be very bad. And all these options that they use adhere to their tactics of covering with a human shield," said Natalya Gumenyuk.

According to Gumenyuk, the Russians in the occupied part of the Kherson region are hiding behind the civilian population to build and test the destroyed crossings.

“They use the civilian population and private vehicles to surround the military and equipment with them. Under the guise of civilians, they are trying to test the pontoons and crossings that they equip with local residents,” Natalya Gumenyuk explained.

Recall that on the night of July 27, the Ukrainian army launched pinpoint strikes on the Antonovsky bridge, located near Kherson captured by the occupiers. The bridge was damaged and the enemy lost transport and logistical routes.

Later it became known that the enemies simply cover the damaged sections of the bridge with slabs.

Russian invaders turned the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant into a "nuclear shield"

United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the invaders had turned the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant into a "nuclear shield." Russia is using the nuclear power plant as a military base and is firing at Ukrainian forces around it.

Blinken said this after the UN negotiations on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in New York, reports Reuters.

The US Secretary of State called Russia's actions regarding the largest Ukrainian nuclear power plant "the pinnacle of irresponsibility." He accused the Kremlin of using the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant as a "nuclear shield." From there, the invaders attack the Ukrainian forces, because they understand that they will not receive a retaliatory strike.

“Of course, the Ukrainians cannot return fire, otherwise there will be a terrible accident at the nuclear power plant,” Blinken said.

And if earlier the Russian Federation was hiding behind a "human shield" of civilians in the temporarily occupied territories, now the aggressor country has gone further and is hiding behind a "nuclear shield," the US Secretary of State believes.

However, in the Russian Federation, of course, they are trying to refute all the accusations. Representatives of the aggressor country at the talks on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons said that their actions at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant allegedly "in no way undermine the nuclear security of Ukraine and do not interfere with the normal operation of the nuclear power plant."

Russia may use the Balkan conflict to foment war in the center of Europe

The Balkan conflict is an excellent field for Russia to use this situation to foment war in the center of Europe.

This was announced by Balkanist expert Maria Geletey on the air of the national telethon.

"It's a great field for Russia to take advantage of this situation, because Russia is taking advantage of any little unrest in the Balkans: it's using the situation in Macedonia that happened a few months ago, it's using Kosovo. If you look at the Western and Ukrainian media, we have the usual mention of situation, and the Russians are calling that another front line is starting there and a war is starting. Although we did not see the war, we saw the usual confrontation, the usual protest," Geletey said.

According to her, the situation between Serbia and Kosovo could escalate into a military conflict, so the Kosovo side, after consultations with Western partners, made concessions. At the same time, in case of more serious clashes, the KFOR contingent, which is located in Kosovo, will intervene in the situation.

"They did not intervene in this situation that arose these days, because there was no reason. They watched it. But if it develops more seriously, they will intervene. And this will save at least Kosovo from such a war. But it can be another country in the Balkans is Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is also very sensitive to conflicts, it is very divided," the expert said.

She noted that Russia can also use this situation to ignite a war in the center of Europe, and then it will be difficult for the Europeans to support Ukraine and the Balkans at the same time.

Spain refused to send tanks to Ukraine because of their "absolutely deplorable condition"

Spain will not supply Leopard tanks to Ukraine, which were located at a military base in Zaragoza. Examinations showed that the technique is unsuitable for use and dangerous for people.

According to the portal El Mundo, this statement was made by the Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Robles.

“Today we are considering all the possibilities, but I can already say that [tanks] Leopard, which have not been used in Zaragoza for many years, cannot be sent [to the war in Ukraine], because they are in an absolutely deplorable state,” Robles said. .

According to the Minister of Defense, Spain conducted the relevant examinations and established the unsuitability of the equipment for use. Tanks are dangerous for people who will use them on the battlefield. Therefore, the country "cannot ship" the machines.

Recall that information about the transfer of heavy weapons to Ukraine from Spain appeared in the media on June 5. It was about anti-aircraft missile systems and reactivated Leopard 2A4 battle tanks.

The media also reported that Spain planned to transfer 40 old German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to our country. However, the German government did not allow this.

Such data appeared on June 11, and a month later other information was published in the media, saying that Spain is still seeking to supply Ukraine with Leopard 2A4 and M113 tracked armored personnel carriers. Allegedly, the package would include 10 units of the first equipment and 20 units of the second. Now, however, tank deliveries have been cancelled.

First ship carrying Ukrainian grain to successfully arrive in Istanbul tonight - Reuters

The first ship to carry Ukrainian grain to world markets since Russia's full-scale invasion will successfully arrive in Istanbul on Tuesday evening.

About it writes Reuters with reference to representatives of Turkey.

The Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni, carrying 26,527 tons of corn, is expected to arrive in Istanbul around midnight local time. It will then be inspected by representatives of Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the UN under the terms of a safe passage agreement before continuing on to the Lebanese port of Tripoli.

The departure of the ship on Monday from the Ukrainian port of Odessa to Lebanon via Turkey under a safe passage agreement raised hopes for the plan to succeed in mitigating the growing global food crisis.

Ankara expects about one shipload of grain to leave Ukrainian ports daily as long as the safe passage agreement is in place, one Turkish official, who requested anonymity, said.

However, there are other obstacles that must be overcome before millions of tons of Ukrainian grain can be exported, Reuters writes. Among them is the clearance of the sea and the creation of a basis for the safe passage of ships to the conflict zone and the loading of goods.

...What is there to lose, what can they still take away from me on the sixth day of my personal hell, in the city of Pisky, one kilometer from the first street of Ukrainian Donetsk?
The bodies of those who were dearer to me than family lie in the heat in trenches ravaged by 152-caliber howitzers.
As I wrote earlier, 6,500 pieces of 152mm projectiles per damned village in less than a day.
It's been six such days already, and I can't imagine how even a small number of our infantry survived in this barrage of enemy fire.
No, I'm not whining.
Two 82mm and 120mm mortars are operating on our side.
Sometimes he wakes up and "sneezes" two artillery barrels in the direction of Donetsk.
We almost do not respond... There is no counter-battery fire at all, the enemy puts artillery shells in our trenches without any problems, dismantles very strong, concrete positions in tens of minutes, pushing our defense line without pause or minimal rest.
The day before yesterday, our line of defense was broken, and two hundred/three hundred were poured into the river (killed and wounded soldiers are called that. "number 200" = killed soldier, "number 300" = wounded soldier, it's not a quantity, it's just a name). I will not publish any statistics, it is forbidden in our country, but you have no idea the number and percentage of losses.

This is a fucking meat grinder, where the battalion simply holds back the onslaught with their bodies.

For almost a week, we have been waiting for at least some kind of help that would hit the enemy's artillery, we, I repeat, are mercilessly fired at with everything that the Russian military system is rich with, the aviation was working today.
I am proud of the leadership of the battalion that remained here with us. The combatant is with us, everyone is with us, contused, light three hundred, bandaged and returned after a couple of hours to the position, if you can call these bottomless ravines that way.

There is a war going on.
But without a counter-battery fight, it turns into a senseless meat grinder, where an insane amount of our infantry is ground up in a day.

Did you really want the truth? Here it is, the naked truth.
The reserve goes to the position, closes the breakthrough, and after five minutes, only one of the 15 people remains intact.

The bodies lie. If it's a light "300", maybe you'll be lucky, you'll die, and you'll get out on foot, you'll reach the medics.
Just took "300". He shouted all the way: - Where is the support? Where is the artillery? Why were we abandoned? Why didn't anyone cover us?
I don't know, my friend, why no one covered us... He screams, and I'm ashamed that I'm still safe and sound, only a couple of good deafening.
I threw up, I pissed myself, I'm sorry, and I'm back in action.

All reserves are destroyed, military equipment is on fire, the enemy approaches and without any problems occupies our positions after another barrage of artillery fire.

Right now we are losing Pisky, all our human and material possibilities are almost exhausted.

Denys, a resident of Mariupol, who told me "well, I believe Arestovich, we will return everything very soon" is dead. He was wounded twice, they tied him up right in the trench, they told him, Denis, go to the evacuation, but he answered "guys, I will not abandon you."
Both wounded for the first time, and after the second wounding, he continued to shoot back.
We still haven't taken his body. On the ruins of the city of Piskiv, he lies with his arms outstretched, and his gaze freezes. He asks for revenge. How can I refuse his latest request? How can we all leave Denis?

I believe that Dima survived after all. Because he could not die, having recently returned from the hospital, having just proposed to his girlfriend. It is said that after one of the arrivals of the artillery, he simply disappeared. It fell asleep with earth. But, I believe that this is a mistake, and he is alive. Foolish hope and expectation.

I know, my country does not like to think aloud. But, I was left with no choice between victory and arrest. The truth should be heard, not whispers in the kitchen. Of course, this post will fly separately, because how can you say that, is the state lying to its own citizens?

I won't be surprised if someone says today: "Kremlin's agent Sirozh told me about the brilliant plan of the victors on the Donetsk front, let's hang him on the Peacemaker."

I pretended to say that everything was under control. Now in the city of Pisky, everything is not under control, but for some reason the situation is being hushed up.
Ring broken bells while we cover the Sands with bodies.
We need artillery.
Give us something here to hold on to.
