[RIA Novosti] In the Kharkiv region, the Ukrainian military staged a provocation by shooting six civilian vehicles, said Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the Russian National Defense Control Center. "According to the available reliable information, in the Kharkiv region, the Kyiv regime carried out another bloody action according to the Bucha scenario. On the section of the road between the settlements of Stary and Novy Saltov, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot six civilian vehicles with white flags mounted on them," Mizintsev said. According to him, the photo and video recording was carried out by the specialists of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, the general noted, from the area of private households in Belaya Krinitsa ( Kherson region ), Ukrainian artillery launched several attacks on the positions of Russian troops in order to cause return fire on houses with civilians, whom the terrorist defense militants did not let out of the blockaded settlement, keeping them in as a human shield. He added that representatives of the Norwegian media were there to film the aftermath. “We warn in advance that in the near future these and other materials fabricated by the Kyiv regime about the alleged “Russian atrocities” are planned to be widely distributed through Western and Ukrainian media, as well as Internet resources,” Mizintsev said. Russia launched a special operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years." For this, according to him, it is planned to carry out the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, to bring to justice all war criminals responsible for "bloody crimes against civilians" in Donbass. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the armed forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops and have already completed the main tasks of the first stage - they have significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass. |
