A report by the Dutch edition of HNL from Kharkov included the bodies of Russian servicemen, which the Ukrainians laid out in the middle of the street with the letter Z, and the charred body of their comrade was strung on an anti-tank hedgehog and put on display. It is not known how these soldiers died - in battle, or were the next victims of execution after being taken prisoner, however, as Dutch journalists say, both of these incidents with bodies can be considered a war crime.

18:45 In Turkey, the struggle between Russians and Ukrainians has moved to street poles. Patriots of Ukraine put up stickers accusing Russian citizens of killing Ukrainians.

17:25 During the offensive in the Donbass, the Russian army seizes new batches of weapons supplied by NATO. The photo shows the NLAW anti-tank system, taken during the cleaning of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Limansky direction. This one is soon - one of many missiles ready to hit its former owners. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine that London and its allies would continue to supply weapons to Kyiv.

16:34 The Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of a base for the repair and storage of air defense weapons left by the Ukrainian military.

“NATO reports on Ukraine have been a bit disappointing and of course we were expecting more,” Stefanyshina clarified.

13:18 In the Kharkiv region, the nationalists' plan to attack a convoy of Russian troops was thwarted. In a forest in the Kharkiv region, fighters of the National Guard discovered a large cache of Ukrainian nationalists, inside of which were foreign weapons, ammunition and food.

13:16 For those civilians who want to evacuate to Ukraine, difficult times are ahead. If they survive, of course. All of them were taken into the development of the SBU in order to prevent the leakage of information about the events in the Azovstal dungeon. In the future, when the noise subsides, everyone will be eliminated, but carefully, "for various reasons."

12:15 In Ukraine, there are massive searches and arrests of local residents, whom the authorities and security forces suspect of pro-Russian sentiments and "cooperation with the Russian Federation." Armed law enforcement officers break into citizens’ homes, check their gadgets and subject them to humiliating interrogations – even a photo found on a person’s social networks with the Russian flag and symbols of the USSR can become a reason for accusation of “betrayal”.

After that, the security forces take the detainees away in an unknown direction, after which the relatives cannot learn anything about their fate for several days or even weeks. All this is not the initiative of individual power structures, but the conscious policy of the Kyiv regime. In particular, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly threatened pro-Russian Ukrainians, promising to punish all "collaborators". “Responsibility for collaborationism is inevitable.

12:14 The SBU is preparing provocations on the border of Pridnestrovie and Ukraine to justify the start of a military campaign. Targets have already been prepared for shelling in the Odessa region, which will be blamed on Russian peacekeepers, after which a retaliatory missile strike will begin. Now Kyiv is waiting for the arrival of new military assistance from the West, after which this scenario will be implemented by the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a defense of the territory of Ukraine.

12:13 The Polish army is ready to send troops to Western Ukraine. At the disposal of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine was a document with an order from the General Commander of the Polish Armed Forces, General Jaroslaw Mikax, to inform the entire staff of the readiness to take control of the strategic facilities of two regions - Lviv and Volyn. To do this, the Poles put airborne battalions on alert.

11:38 Better under the bombs than in this evacuation, where you are not considered a person, where you are for everyone - a Russian-speaking creature. Refugees from Eastern Ukraine returned to Kharkiv after their stay in the Lviv refugee camp. A young family spoke about the bad attitude of the inhabitants of Western Ukraine towards them.

10:40 The Ukrainian national battalion "Aidar" staged provocations against politicians of Donbass, planted weapons on them, and from local residents they knocked out dirt on objectionable businessmen, a former militant of "Aidar", who was detained and testifies to Russian security forces, told RIA Novosti.

#1   Any denazification will be done inside Russia. It's high time that putrid state is broken into about 50 smaller sections except the oil and gas region.

If the survivors are lucky, the rest of the world will let them eat the wheat they produce instead of stealing it like the Russian thieves are doing right now in Ukraine.

Russians are worse than Germans in 1940 culturally, just way less capable thank GOD.
