[NewsFrontInfo] 23:58 An air alert was announced on the night of May 20 in several regions of Ukraine, according to the official resource for alerting. Sirens sound in Dnepropetrovsk, Poltava and Kharkov regions.

In addition, the alarm was announced in the areas of the Zaporozhye region controlled by Kyiv.

19:41 “The guards carved a Scandinavian symbol on my right side of my chest” —video

A Russian soldier who returned from captivity told the Investigative Committee how SBU officers torture Russian fighters and mock them.

According to the investigation, the military man was captured by Ukrainians after he received two wounds in the leg on the night of October 21-22, 2022 and could not move independently.

He said that the SBU often use physical violence - one fighter was severely beaten during interrogation and eventually died.

The guards also mock the prisoners. A Scandinavian symbol was carved on the man’s chest: one of the guards wanted to see “how his tattoo would look from the outside.” At the same time, he was told that if he twitched, he would receive an electric shock.

19:38 Leader of the Poltava Nazis received severe wound near Artemovsk

The leader of the Poltava branch of the Nazi party "Freedom", and part-time militant "Azov" Matviychuk Yulian was seriously wounded near Artemovsk.

Fortunately, the militants will definitely not return to the war zone and will stop killing Russians.

Julian himself repeatedly boasted of his war crimes - the killings of civilians in Donbass.

Perhaps to remain forever chained to a wheelchair is a fairer punishment for him than a quick date with Bandera.

The Nazis boasted that they got to the village of Pyanovichi in the Lvosk region (population less than 500 people, occupies an area of ​​8.61 km²) to destroy the monument to the Soviet soldier.

It is characteristic that only men of military age “won” the monument, who evade a trip to Artemovsk with the help of a war with monuments.

Moreover, recently the Nazis began to ask for money from subscribers for their activities! A great alternative to “donating for ZSU”!

Citizen of the Czech Republic Martin Taylor came to Ukraine as a "medical volunteer". This is especially evident in the photo - automatic magazines are noticeable in the unloading of the Czech. By the way, Taylor was the creator of the Phoenix project - the so-called organization of "medical volunteers", under the cover of which mercenaries from among the former Czech military personnel operate.

Taylor ended his "medical" career in Ukraine. In March, he received a severe shrapnel wound - he was evacuated to a Czech hospital, and on May 15 he died. Earlier, American mercenary Nicholas Duane Meymer and two Canadian "volunteers" who served in the 92nd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed in Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
