Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Although Velikaya Novoselka is not a big city, the dill made it a key point of defense in the direction, a kind of Bakhmut or Avdiivka in miniature, and therefore the liberation of this town is very important for further progress.
The Russian army defeated the Ukrainian Armed Forces and took the enemy's fortress city of Velikaya Novoselka (VIDEO, MAP)

Soldiers of the 40th, 5th and 37th brigades, with the support of special forces, artillery and aviation of the Vostok group of forces, liberated the Velikaya Novoselka regional center, the largest defense and logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the South Donetsk direction.

Our units completed the liberation of Velikaya Novoselka, defeating the 110th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Now the entire agglomeration of the Vremevsky salient has been liberated — Velikaya Novoselka, Vremevka, Neskuchnoye — the largest defense and logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the junction of Zaporizhia and the DPR.

The area was prepared and equipped with fortifications, perfectly protected by three natural water barriers and the surrounding buildings. After long and stubborn battles, it came under the control of the Vostok group, becoming an important step in the liberation of the southeast.

In the footage, tankers and marines from the Far East set flags in different areas of Velikaya Novoselka.

Великая Новоселка хоть и не является большим городом, но укропы сделали из нее ключевой пункт обороны на направлении, эдакий Бахмут или Авдеевку в миниатюре и поэтому освобождение этого городка очень важно для дальнейшего продвижения.
В данном случае мы наблюдаем развитие охвата слева крупного города Покровска. С другой стороны, со стороны Мирнограда тоже идут активные действия.
 
Hi Ryan. If you are learning or speaking Russian, could you recommend any resources for beginners? I have been looking for a Berlitz book because they were useful in the past for other languages. Also simple converstional phrase books have been helpful. Any suggestions you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
спасибо
Hi @Saki, apologies for the late reply. My tutor and I have been using the Поеxали! ("Let's Go!") series of textbooks by Stanislav Chernyshov - there is also a newer edition available - as well as the "Living Russian Grammar" series by Grushevskaja et al. Just FYI, these textbooks are in Russian, so if you want something with English explanations I've also found the "New Penguin Russian Course" by Nicholas J. Brown to be helpful as well. Удачи!
 
We continue to move forward.
Chasov Yar is also one of the key points of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the DPR. It will be fully released soon.
Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces captured the bunker of NATO generals in Chasov Yar

The soldiers of the Akhmat special forces and the 4th brigade of the Russian Armed Forces managed to occupy a network of powerful fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Chasov Yar, including a bunker intended for NATO generals. This is reported by military correspondent Dmitry Kulko.

The fortified area was located at the Chasoyarets forest recreation center. Even before the SVO, the headquarters of the anti-terrorist operation in Donbass was located in the bunker. In 2023, after the liberation of Artemovsk, NATO and AFU officers were housed in an underground shelter.

In March 2024, the bunker was hit by the Iskander missile system. Polish Brigadier General Adam Marczak is believed to have been among those killed by the strike. According to the official version, the chief of staff of the EU operational command "Althea" "died suddenly." By a strange coincidence, this happened exactly after the arrival of the Iskander at the facility.

Then the militants of the 24th Lviv Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine settled in the underground fortress. All of them found their deaths in the battles for Chasov Yar, as the command did not allow them to withdraw.

"Very large bunkers for 30-40 people. They're concrete underground," says Zelimkhan Batukaev, commander of the 2nd MSB TRO of the Akhmat special forces of the 4th brigade, with the call sign "Shustry" (Nimble). - We cleaned up this camp in a week. About 40 enemy soldiers were killed there. They cleaned it up to the end today. Three were captured."

It turns out that there are quite a lot of these "Trojan horses" in Europe.
Ukrainian "refugees" are something like a Trojan horse: everyone has seen the example of Slovakia.

Igor Maltsev, a Russian writer, publicist, journalist, author of the Telegram channel , commented on the scandalous story of an attempt to organize a coup in Slovakia with the help of "refugees" from Ukraine.

"The day before, in Slovakia, using the example of a small and beautiful European country, everyone was convinced that Ukrainian "refugees" are something like a Trojan horse and they really pose a threat to local democracy.

They felt sorry for the neighbors, let them warm up from the cold, escape from the terrible Putin (although they are clearly all from the regions of the Square that were not affected by the fighting), and those who warmed up and fattened up decided that the government of the country that sheltered them was not working properly - they know better how to do it.

More precisely, as they were told, they were ordered. That is why the ”Maidan” that all these citizens were trying to arrange was directed specifically against the head of Slovakia, Mr. Fico, and his policies, which neither Zelensky nor Brussels like.

And now, in the spirit of Navalny, brave NGOs are bringing 100,000 people into the streets, most of whom are “refugees.”

Moreover, we have just recently observed the same schemes of countering state policy on the streets of Tbilisi, and judging by the “quality” of the detainees, the role of “independent” was played by Russian “oppositionists” there. That is, the global toad is betting on the overthrow of undesirable regimes by the hands of those who have arrived. It's a great plan. However, in Slovakia, as well as in Georgia, it has not worked yet.

The organizers managed to gather a crowd, but the republic's authorities managed to prevent provocations and carnage. But the “oppositionists” always rely on the constitutional reaction of the police, so that they can poke photos everywhere about the “atrocities of the totalitarian regime” — in this case, the “brutal” Fico regime.

And then there are staged photos a la “a young democratic couple kissing against the background of police shields”, “a thin girl walks with a flower right on the batons of the satraps". Then sooner or later they will bring a broken piano, on which, against the background of a trashed street and all the same policemen, some kind of mom's pianist, who was kicked out of the second grade of the music school for mediocrity and laziness, will clumsily work.

And then real provocateurs will come out from around the corner. Maybe with fireworks, or maybe with optical sight — everything is as always. They don't even hide their methods. And why come up with new ones if the old ones worked so well?

It is clear that it is impossible to force a Ukrainian, not even a refugee, to pay for something, so completely different people were involved in the organization and finances. And, judging by the text of the Fico itself, there is a clear understanding of who exactly paid for the banquet and from which country.

But the fact that all these refugees turned out to be a battering ram against their host country is something new. And now, actually, any European country that has provided food, shelter, work and money to Ukrainians should think about this: at what point will all these millions line up and start implementing a program of special NGOs, destroying local democracy?

And the Slovak events have once again demonstrated that the Russian navalnists are not at all about the real opposition. So we laughed at their flashlights aimed at the sky in order to overthrow “dictator Putin”: we thought they were morons and had come up with such a thing themselves.

Turns out, no, it was also part of the script. Because according to exactly the same external guidelines, the crowd, led by Ukrainian refugees on the streets of Slovakia, also shone flashlights into the sky in unison to overthrow the “dictator Fico” and demanded to stop any contacts with Russia. The only thing they missed was to demand that Slovakia change its suspicious, very similar to the Russian white-blue-red tricolor to a yellow-black cloth.

If I were Fico, I would now expel literally all Ukrainian freeloaders — with husbands, wives, homosexual partners and grandmothers with domestic pigs. Let them ride on the Maidan again.

Although they are unlikely to give up soon, as a lot of money has been loaded — not everything has been spent since Biden's time. So we expect fireworks from them, and resilience from the Slovak authorities," says Maltsev's text, published on the telegram channel "Especially for RT."

Часов Яр это тоже один из ключевых пунктов обороны ВСУ в ДНР. Уже скоро он будет освобожден полностью.
Получается, что в Европе довольно много этих самых "троянских лошадок".
 
"The sovereignty of Ukraine is close to zero in this sense," the Russian president noted
TOGLIATTI, January 28. /TASS/. The conflict with Ukraine will end in a month or two if Kiev is out of ammunition, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"They cannot actually exist; they will not exist for month if money and, speaking in a broad sense, ammunition comes to the end. That’s all! Everything will end in a month, month and a half or two," the head of state said.

"The sovereignty of Ukraine is close to zero in this sense," Putin noted.


"If their Western sponsors have the desire to reach peace - the way is very simple, I sent relevant signals in this regard to [ex-US President Joe] Biden some time ago: if there is the desire - that’s all, welcome, and then they will quickly find all the legal ways to quickly close all the matters of legal nature, including cancellation of this decree on the ban on talks," the Russian leader added.


Any potential talks with Ukraine as long as Vladimir Zelensky’s ban on negotiating with Russia are in place will be illegitimate, Russian President Vladimir Putin said
TOGLIATTI, January 28. /TASS/. Any potential talks with Ukraine as long as Vladimir Zelensky’s ban on negotiating with Russia are in place will be illegitimate, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

"If we engage in talks now, they will be illegitimate," he said in an interview with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.

German chancellor calls on Europe to increase defense spending
Olaf Scholz also said that EU leaders would discuss issues related to the establishment of a more powerful European defense industry at a summit on February 3
BERLIN, January 28. /TASS/. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called for increasing European defense spending and strengthening NATO’s European pillar.

"We agree that we need to strengthen NATO’s European pillar and further increase defense spending," he pointed out at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Berlin.

The German chancellor also said that EU leaders would discuss issues related to the establishment of a more powerful European defense industry at a summit on February 3. "We need rules that will ease the joint development and procurement of military equipment in the European Union," Scholz stressed.

He also commented on the incidents where underwater cables had suffered damage in the Baltic Sea. "Just yesterday, reports came of damage to another subsea cable," Scholz noted, alleging that "this indicates a threat coming from Russia’s ghost fleet." "NATO’s Baltic Sentry mission will allow us to improve the protection of the Baltic Sea and critical infrastructure on the seabed," the German chancellor concluded.

US President Donald Trump confirmed at a press conference on January 21 that he planned to make sure that NATO allies increased their defense spending to 5% of GDP. Moscow has repeatedly said that NATO’s policy escalates tensions in Europe, increasing the risk of direct confrontation with Russia.





As Western arms continue to flood into Ukraine, America’s military-industrial complex has been enjoying the spoils of the proxy conflict. US defense contractors have been profiting from Ukraine-related military supplies while bringing the world to the brink of war, numerous experts have told Sputnik.

US weapons manufacturers have raked in a fortune capitalizing on sales to foreign governments scrambling to replenish stocks drained by aiding and abetting the Kiev regime. US military equipment sales to surged 29% in 2024 to a record $318.7 billion, according to State Department figures.

Shares of US weapons giants like Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), General Dynamics (GD.N), and Northrop Grumman (NOC.N) are all forecast to climb.

Lockheed Martin shares grew by 38.49% over the past year, reaching an all-time high of $611.74 last October.

General Dynamics has also seen its stock rise by 27.81%, reaching an all-time high of $313.39 in November 2024.

Northrop Grumman showed a 25.5% increase over the last three months of 2024.

While NATO collectively financed Kiev to the tune of $191.2 billion over the past three years, the US was the largest donor of military aid ($68.9 billion), according to calculations by Sputnik, based on data from the Ukrainian Finance Ministry and the University of Kiel.
The US State Department reported earlier that the main buyers of American weapons were:

Turkiye (deliveries/modernization of F-16 aircraft worth $23 billion);

Israel (F-15 fighters for $18.8 billion);

Japan (KC-46A tanker aircraft developed by Boeing for $4.1 billion, Raytheon-made Tomahawk missiles for $2.4 billion);

Germany (Patriot missiles for $5 billion); India (MQ-9B drones for $4 billion);

South Korea (AH-64E Apache helicopters for $3.5 billion);

Romania (M1A2 Abrams tanks for $2.5 billion);

The continuing scourge of war profiteering by the US now threatens human civilization itself, author and professor Dr. Ken Hammond told Sputnik last year, as Ukraine has been relentlessly pumped full of Western armaments.

Much of the West’s vast military aid to Ukraine has proven futile and served as a legitimate target for Russia on the battlefield. A significant portion of it has also ended up in the hands of black-market dealers.

Map:
The sum total worth of resources in Ukraine. According to Western experts, Russia now controls half of Ukraine's wealth.

Meanwhile, as the Zionists celebrate the holocaust on every mainstream news outlet in the world, Russia awards the liberators Stalingrad.

 
The present and future of Ukraine according to Evgeny Muraev (Murayev)
There was and interview with conducted by Alexander Lazareva with a former Ukrainian politician from Kharkov, Evgeny Muraev (Murayev), who was even sanctioned by Russia from 2018 to 2023.

Muraev now lives in Beijing, where he is now living with his family (second wife and two children). From what I understand he is working on what comes after the situation in UA stabilizes and reconstruction begins. Probably it is in this capacity some of his financing comes. His last message in the interview is for the army to take their guns and clean out house. If there are elections after the conflict calms down, he is of course a factor that might come in. It is in this regard that the interview might be interesting.

For some context, below are first some excerpts from a biography in Russian on Realist.online, owned by the Russian media holding company "ООО «Европе́йская медиагру́ппа» (ЕМГ)" since July 2017

Yevhen Vladimirovich Muraiev was born on December 2, 1976 in the city of Zmiyiv, Kharkiv region.

In 1993, he graduated from the prestigious Physics and Mathematics School No. 47 in Kharkiv. In the same year, Yevhen became a student at Kharkiv State University. However, having not completed the first year, he left the university.

What happened then is unknown. But the next year, Muraev again entered the same university, at the same Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. After 5 years, Evgeny graduated with honors from this educational institution and defended his diploma in finance and credit.

Later, Yevhen Muraiev received a second higher education in law at the Yaroslav the Wise National Law University in Kharkiv.
In other words, he is well educated, also for a political career.
At the end of August 2018, the NewsOne TV channel was transferred to the management of the former deputy head of the Administration of the President of Ukraine Yanukovych, Andriy Portnov, for a period of three years.
After the Revolution of Dignity, most of Murayev's party associates left Ukraine, but Yevhen stayed. Moreover, in October 2014, he was re-elected in the same district to the next convocation of the Rada from the Opposition Bloc.

But in 2016, Muraev announced his withdrawal from this political force and, together with his relative Vadim Rabinovich, created the political project 'For Life'.
In September 2018, Yevhen Muraiev broke away from Rabinovich, accusing him of collaborating with Petro Poroshenko and announced the creation of his own Nashi party.

On November 7, 2018, the 'Nash' TV channel appeared in cable networks and on satellite (broadcasting on the basis of the Maxxi TV license). A TV channel owned by Muraev, and formally declared by his father as an information channel, with an emphasis on regular talk shows, in which Muraev himself takes part.
In January 2019, Muraev submits documents to the CEC and registered with a candidate for the position of president of Ukraine.
Yevhen Muraiev is known for his racist statements. So on the air of the Nash TV channel, he said: 'Paris is terrible. Sorry, it's black. And it's just scary to go down to the subway there. And there is terrible class inequality there.'

To the clarifying question: 'What does black mean?', Muraev answered: 'Saturated with African Americans. Yes, I see this as a problem. I see this as a problem. I see labor migrants there who do not assimilate. I see how women are attacked in Germany [...] You, dear Ukrainians, are probably not ready for this. And I can say that Brussels has turned into a Muslim mecca. Hijabs. It is quite scary and uncomfortable to be there. If you are talking about world terrorism.'
Evgeny Muraev loves to perform on television with frankly separatist and demagogic statements.

He became a media person after in 2014 he acquired the News One TV channel from his wife. On this resource, he began his promotion as a policy.

Muraev was also a frequent guest in the studio of the 112 Ukraine television channel, owned by Viktor Medvedchuk.

Muraev called Russian aggression in the Donbass 'civil conflict', while noting that both parties receive support from foreign states.
Family
His father, Vladimir Kuzmich Muraev, worked as the general director of CJSC 'Rapid'. His mother, Olga Alekseevna, is a teacher and associate professor at the Kharkiv University of Municipal Economy.

Murayev's relative on the line of his first wife was one of the leaders of the Opposition Platform for Life, Vadim Rabinovich.

Yevgeny Murayev's first wife was Valeria Taranova, and her uncle is Rabinovich. From this marriage, the politician has two sons: Mikhail and Igor. In 2017, the family union between Taranova and Murayev was dissolved.

Muraev's current wife is actress Ekaterina Gordienko (born in 1993). She starred in the Russian propaganda film 'Thanks to Grandfather for the Victory', as well as in the film 'New Year's Commotion' together with Ukrainophobic actors.

Here is a list of articles in Russian, that include news about Muraev, if his name comes up later.
Following the video, the UA Government has reacted as if he had kicked up a snake pit.

The SBU conducted searches at the home of blogger and former TV channel host Medvedchuk
16:04, 18 January 2025
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported that it conducted searches at the home of blogger Max Nazarov (real name - Nazar Diorditsa).

Nazarov, as noted by RBC, is a former host of the YouTube channels of the chairman of the council of the Other Ukraine movement Viktor Medvedchuk and former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yevhen Murayev. Now Nazarov runs his own channels on YouTube and Telegram. Nazarov's channel 'Yes, it's so' has more than 200 thousand subscribers on YouTube. At the same time, the last issues were released five months ago.

The reason for the searches, according to the SBU, was that after the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, the blogger continued to invite guests with a pro-Russian position to his broadcasts. Nazarov can be placed under arrest, he faces up to eight years in prison.
The above article claims that the last issue was released five months ago, but actually, the video was released the same day as the raid was done, so somebody in the western guided intelligence agency probably knew something was up.
The SBU arrested assets allegedly belonging to Deripaska
18:51, 29 January 2025
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has arrested assets belonging to Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska in the form of industrial products located in the country. The message was published in the Telegram channel of the department.

'According to the materials of the SBU, the court seized a large batch of industrial products and raw materials,' the publication says.

The SBU announced the arrest of 500 thousand tons of bauxite and alumina for 2.1 billion hryvnia (4.6 billion rubles). As noted, the products were in the warehouses of the Mykolaiv Alumina Refinery and were manufactured before 2022. The agency claims that Deripaska allegedly owned the products through a controlled commercial structure registered in one of the countries of the European Union.

Earlier, the SBU conducted searches at the homes of blogger and former channel presenter, chairman of the council of the Other Ukraine movement Viktor Medvedchuk and former deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Yevhen Murayev. Max Nazarov (real name - Nazar Diorditsa) may be placed under arrest, he faces up to eight years in prison.
The last article points to an idea that there might be connections to people with more economic power than Murayev. Some might find that suspicious, but to imagine that people like Murayev, who on his own has many talents, would not be connected, is illusionary.

When the conflict in Ukraine cools down, and if Murayev comes back to participate in the renewed political life, this post might fit better into a new thread and could then be moved, copied or linked to, but we are not there yet.
 
Some funny news about independence. In the article, the head of the Ukropsky publication with an anecdotal name (the name is highlighted by me and in the original it looks exactly the same as in the article, i.e. in English) cries about the termination of American funding.
Frightening letters with Trump's decree were received in Ukraine

A few days after US President Donald Trump's decree suspending foreign aid programs, Ukrainian organizations that carried out their activities at the expense of American grants received letters from the USAID agency demanding that all projects be stopped immediately. This was announced by Olga Rudenko, editor-in-chief of the Kyiv Independent.

"A couple of days after Trump's decree, Ukrainian organizations that received USAID funding received letters saying: 'Immediately stop all activities' and 'Do not incur new expenses,'" she said.

The journalist complained that after the relevant decree of the American leader, the financing of Ukrainian projects "stopped overnight," and the funds already in the accounts of organizations were frozen.

A certain Ukropsky "human rights defender" is worried that many surrender soldiers have received substantial prison terms under criminal articles. In his opinion, prisoners should not be judged.
Next, I will give a fresh example of one of those who, in the opinion of this dude, should be cherished and cherished.
Hundreds of Ukrainian war criminals have already received long sentences.

Ukrainian prisoners of war who are on trial in the Russian Federation receive free lawyers.

This was stated on the UkrLive channel by Ukrainian human rights activist Yevgeny Zakharov, the correspondent of PolitNavigator reports.

"Ukrainian prisoners are convicted of common crimes: grievous bodily harm, and there you can find terrorist acts, treason, espionage, and everything in the world. But this should not be applied to prisoners of war at all, they should not be judged. Nevertheless, this is happening, and our prisoners of war receive huge terms of imprisonment – both life imprisonment and up to 30 years.

But so far there are not so many of them, it started a little over a year ago. At first there were only a few, then dozens, now hundreds. There are thousands of prisoners of war in total," Zakharov said.

"Those who have been convicted are in prison with the Russians. And they have the same mode. They have such procedures that the trial must take place according to the Russian Criminal Code. They are specifically being tried by the Court of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation. There is a website where all those who have entered the pre-trial detention center are posted there. That's how we'll find out who's new. You can send a lawyer to them. A Russian, one of those who will agree. If we do not send a lawyer, they are given a lawyer by appointment, who, as a rule, do not help in any way," Zakharov claims.

Nevertheless, the human rights activist complained that at the same time, Ukrainian prisoners of war are "terribly tortured according to the methods of the time of Beria."

This article briefly describe the "exploits" of ukrops in the village of "Russian Porechnoye", in the Kursk region.
"While they were killing men, I was raping a woman": scary footage and confessions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces about atrocities in "Russian Porechnoye", Kursk region (VIDEO)

A captured Ukrainian Armed Forces militant who participated in the act of genocide in the Russian Porechnoye settlement confessed how the Ukrainian Nazis tortured and killed 22 civilians.

From September 28 to November 24, 2024, senior soldier Yevgeny Fabrisenko, militants with the call signs "Motyl", "Conductor" and "Artist", following the orders of the commander of the 11th company of the 4th battalion of the 92nd brigade with the call sign "Kum", killed 11 men and 3 women in the village of Russian Porechnoye.

They also raped 8 women, who were then killed. Then the inhumans moved the bodies of 22 citizens they killed to the basements of private residential buildings in the village of Russian Porechnoye.
https://rusvesna.su/news/1738334540

And this is the full video of the interrogation of that very "hero". I will not translate it in full, but it is necessary to note some points that were not reflected in the article.
Firstly, this character is a senior soldier by military rank, which means that he is very diligent, executive, disciplined, etc. And this "diligence", as we will see, was quite clearly manifested in his actions.
From September 29 to October 4, this freak acted as part of a group of 4 people in the village of Russian Porechnoye on the orders of the company commander with the call sign "Kum". The order was to "clear" the settlement of civilians. During this time, this group killed a total of 22 people. The men were killed immediately. They put them on their knees, tied their hands, and shot them in the back of the head. Those who tried to resist were beaten at first. The women were first raped (all 100% of the women were raped, not a single one was missed, except for the grandmothers), then they were killed in the same way. Three elderly women who turned out to be unworthy of sexual attention, that is, simply speaking, grandmothers, were bundled down into the basement of the house and threw a hand grenade there. The gold jewelry was being taken away. When asked why it had been going on for several days, why the locals seemed to be waiting and not leaving, this freak replied that civilians were forbidden to go out into the streets and the streets were being machine-gunned.
That's such prisoners come across. And what do you want we to do with them? As one movie hero said, give out coupons for enhanced nutrition?
Full video of the interrogation of the AFUsoldier-killer from Russian Porechnoye. He and three of his colleagues brutally raped a girl aged 18-20, put her on her knees and shoot her.

Несколько забавная новость на тему независимости. В статье руководитель укропского издания с анекдотичным названием (название выделено мной и в оригинале оно выглядит совершенно так же как и в статье, т.е. по английски) плачет по поводу прекращения американского финансирования.

Некий укропский "правозащитник" переживает за то, что многие укровояки получили солидные сроки заключения по уголовным статьям. По его мнению пленных нельзя судить.
Далее я приведу свежий пример одного из тех кого, по мнению этого утырка надо холить и лелеять.
В этой статье вкратце рассказывается о "подвигах" укропов в селе Русское Поречное, в Курской области.

А это полное видео допроса того самого "героя". Полностью я переводить не буду, но нужно отметить некоторые моменты, которые не были отражены в статье.
Во первых данный персонаж по воинскому званию- старший солдат, а это значит, что очень старательный, исполнительный, дисциплинированный и т.д. И эта "старательность", как мы увидим довольно явно проявилась в его действиях.
С 29 сентября по 4 октября этот урод действовал в составе группы из 4 человек в селе "Русское Поречное" по приказу командира роты с позывым "Кум". Приказ был- "зачистить" населенный пункт от мирных жителей. За это время данная группа убила в общей сложности 22 человека. Мужчин убивали сразу. Ставили на колени, связывали руки и стреляли сзади в затылок. Тех, кто пытался оказывать сопротивление сначала избивали. Женщин сначала насиловали (изнасилованы все 100% женщин, ни одной не пропустили, кроме бабушек), потом убивали таким же способом. Троих пожилых женщин, которые оказались недостойны сексуального внимания, т.е. попросту говоря бабушек, связанными спустили в подвал дома и бросили туда ручную гранату. Золотые украшения отбирали. На вопрос- почему это продолжалось несколько дней, почему местные жители как будто ждали и не уходили, этот урод дал ответ, что гражданским запретили выходить на улицы и улицы простреливались пулеметами.
Такие вот попадаются пленные. И что прикажете с ними делать? Как сказал один киногерой- выдавать талоны на усиленное питание?
 
Missed it; and missed the online screening on Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN TG channel and Twitter/X that took place three days ago. :-(

A new documentary made by a famous Serbian director, screenwriter and producer Jovan Markovic, titled "People of Christ. Our Time" dedicated to the persecution and destruction of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Kiev regime. Production supported by Emir Kusturica who is listed as "филмски pедитељ" (Artistic Director, I guess).

On the premiere screening in Russia, a note was placed on the President of Russia website:

Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill, the team that made the film “People of Christ. Our Time,” and guests attending its Russian premiere.
December 3, 2024
14:00
The message reads, in part:

“Created by our Serbian friends, this film is a documentary record of the tragic developments in Ukraine, which involved mass-scale violations of the rights and religious freedoms of millions of people, real outrages against historical memory, and the persecution of the Orthodox Church by the Kiev regime.

I know that the film’s world premiere, which was held in Belgrade in September of this year, has evoked a massive public response. After all, no one can remain indifferent to the honest, first-person reflections on current events shared by priests, writers and poets, teachers, TV presenters and young people from different countries, such as Serbia and Italy, Russia and Ukraine. Importantly, an increasing number of people worldwide are becoming aware of the true causes of the Ukraine conflict unleashed by Western elites. They understand that there is no, nor will there ever be, any justification for the crimes committed against peaceful civilians, for ethnic and religious cleansing, terrorist attacks and punitive operations organised by neo-Nazis. It is highly significant that the film gives us hope and confidence that we will be able to meet any challenges, provided we maintain solidarity and remain committed to the traditional spiritual and moral values bequeathed to us by our ancestors.”

Official Trailer:

From "About", G-translated:
We present to you the trailer for the film "People of Christ - Our Time"

The film reveals the essence of the conflicts that are happening all over the planet, drawing the entire humanity of today into its vortex - a cognitive war in the spheres of the spiritual, cultural, mental life of all peoples and each person individually.
Victory in this war is more effective than defeating troops and capturing territories.
In this war, he fights for the whole man - for his mind and most importantly - for his soul.

Perhaps, for the first time, the film will shed light on the semantic reasons for the tragedies that are happening today, as well as the apocalyptic challenges facing the entire humanity, to a large audience.

In the city of Sudzha, Kursk region, a rocket attack from the Sumy region of Ukraine destroyed a boarding school that housed residents of nearby settlements, mostly elderly people left homeless as a result of the Ukrainian attack. As has happened many times before, the Ukrobanderovites decided to commit an even bloodier crime in order to divert attention from the previous one, in this case from the Russian Porechnoye and try to blame the Russian forces for this.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces committed another war crime by launching a targeted missile attack on a boarding school in Sudzha, the Ministry of Defense (VIDEO)

The Ukrainian Armed Forces committed another war crime by launching a targeted missile attack on a boarding school in Sudzha — the Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement regarding the occupiers' attempt to blame the Russian Army for the strike.:

Ukraine's provocation in Sudzha is aimed at distracting attention from the atrocities of the Kiev regime in the Kursk settlement of Russian Porechnoye.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces strike on a civilian facility in Sudzha demonstrated the terrorist, inhuman nature of those in power in Kiev.

The launch of Ukrainian Armed Forces missiles from Sumy region at a boarding school in Sudzha was detected by Russian air defense systems.

Footage of the war crime of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their Western curators — launching of MLRS "Himars" on Sudzha (VIDEO)

After the first launch of Ukrainian missiles in the direction of the Kursk region, our intelligence officers were able to uncover the location of the enemy installation.

4 Himars launches in the evening from the nearby Malaya Rybitsa were recorded by objective control data.

"We will definitely identify by name not only all the crew members and inhumans who gave the criminal order, but also their Western supervisors who led both the Haimars calculation and the entire provocation," the military groups of the North state.

"According to all the laws of war, NATO instructors in the combat zone are not military personnel who are subject to the norms of international law. I wonder if the conditional "Sergeant John" thinks about this when he goes on a high-paying business trip to kill Russians?!"
https://rusvesna.su/news/1738474145

It became known why the attack on the boarding school in Sudzha could not be repelled.
On February 1, 2025, a rocket attack on a boarding school building where civilians were staying took place in the city of Sudzha, Kursk region. According to preliminary data, up to 100 people may be under the rubble, and the number of victims continues to be clarified.

According to Russian military correspondents, the strike was carried out from the territory of Ukraine. Monitoring channels recorded the launch of several missiles from AFU positions located in the village of Malaya Rybitsa in the Sumy region. According to reports, HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems with M31A2 GMLRS guided missiles were used. According to Russkoye Armo, due to the remoteness of the positions of Russian air defense systems, including the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system and the Tor-M2 air defense system, it was impossible to intercept these munitions in the area of Suji.

Military correspondent Yuri Kotenok reported that dozens of civilians, including the elderly and the disabled, may be under the rubble. The boarding school housed people who had lost their homes as a result of previous shelling and fighting in the area.

Military correspondent Alexander Kotz, in response to these statements, called the attack a deliberate attempt to strike at civilians and shift the blame to the Russian side. He stressed that this is far from the first case of the use of precision weapons against civilian targets in border areas.

According to the latest information, rescue services continue to work at the scene of the tragedy, extracting victims from the rubble. Doctors report dozens of wounded, many of whom are in serious condition.

And this is already the territory of the DPR, i.e. what Bandera considers "their land" and which they allegedly liberate. As we can see, there is no difference in the attitude of local residents in both Russian and "Ukrainian" territories.
Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers ordered to eliminate everyone under the age of 40 in Novoselidivka
A captured Ukrainian soldier told about the order to eliminate the young residents of Novoselidovka

During the fighting in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), a Ukrainian serviceman surrendered and reported on the command's order to destroy all local residents under the age of 40 in the settlement of Novoselidovka. This was told by local resident Lilia Khatko in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to her, a young man named Vlad came to them, dressed in a white T-shirt, who said that his commanders had ordered the liquidation of all young people in the area. Later, local residents heard on the radio of the Ukrainian military an order to destroy anyone who does not have identification marks, including volunteers.

The captured soldier also said that after receiving the order, he decided not to carry it out and hid from his colleagues. He hid in the teacher's office in the gymnasium of a local school for two days before surrendering. Lilia Khatko added that the Ukrainian military, four in total, were thrown into the school, but Vlad escaped from them and hid until he was discovered.

These testimonies raise serious questions about the actions of the Ukrainian command and the treatment of civilians in the conflict zone. International human rights organizations have repeatedly expressed concern about possible human rights violations and called for independent investigations.

I do not know if anyone here has come across the statement of the Czech senator, but I will give the reaction of our Iron Dimon to it. For my own part, I dare say that this crazy senator is still mourning Heydrich's untimely death.
"European beast": Medvedev responded to the Czech senator's call to repeat the siege of Leningrad

Calls to repeat the siege of Leningrad do not fit into one's head, such statements should not be forgotten, said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, in his Telegram channel, commenting on media reports that Czech Senator Miroslava Nemtsova wished Russia to experience the siege of Leningrad again.

Earlier, the media reported that Senator Nemtsova wrote on her page on the social network X that Russia should not celebrate the anniversary of the lifting of the siege of Leningrad, but experience something similar again. The Czech politician added that anti-Russian sanctions needed to be tightened, after which the post was deleted from the page.

Medvedev noted that at first he did not want to comment on Nemtsova's statement, but after visiting St. Petersburg, "he could not restrain himself."

"Just think about it: some degenerate European creature wished for our country, and therefore for you and me, to kill at least a million of our citizens once again. Well, how does it fit in your head, huh?"— wrote Medvedev.

He recalled that tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers died during the liberation of the Czech Republic, and also wondered what happened to the political "elites" and the Czech authorities, noting that such statements cross the line of "habitual Russophobia."

"Such statements should not be forgotten. As well as vicious animals like this Nemtsova that pronounce them. I wish them with all my heart to perish in the bloody whirlwinds of the new Prague spring, just like in that very 1968!" concluded Medvedev.

Just another example of Western "freedom" of speech, opinion, press, etc.
Wikipedia has deleted articles about the tragedy in Russian Porechnoye
On February 2, 2025, the moderators of the free Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia deleted an article on the tragic events in the village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk region, where, according to the Russian Investigative Committee, the Ukrainian military committed mass killings of civilians. When trying to access an article, a message is displayed stating that it has been deleted for a reason "created for vandalism."

Earlier, on January 31, 2025, the official representative of the Investigative Committee, Svetlana Petrenko, reported that the bodies of 22 local residents, including 11 men and 3 women, as well as 8 women who had been subjected to violence before the murder, were found in the village of Russian Porechnoye. According to her, five Ukrainian servicemen were involved in the crimes, including senior soldier Yevhen Fabrisenko, who was detained and confessed.

The removal of the article caused a wide public outcry. Many users expressed dissatisfaction with the moderators' decision, believing that such actions prevent the dissemination of information about war crimes. At the same time, Wikipedia representatives claim that the article was deleted due to a lack of verifiable sources and a possible violation of the rules of neutrality.

The international community also reacted to the incident. The representative of the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, said that the organization consistently opposes the deaths and killings of civilians, regardless of where they occur.

At the moment, investigative actions in Russian Porechnoye are continuing. The Investigative Committee of Russia is conducting forensic and genetic examinations, as well as interrogations of local residents in order to establish all the circumstances of the incident and bring those responsible to justice.
Википедия удалила статьи о трагедии в Русском Поречном

В городе Суджа, Курской области, ракетным ударом со стороны Сумской области украины разрушен интернат, в котором содержались жители окрестных населенных пунктов, в основном пожилые люди, оставшиеся без жилья в результате украинского нападения. Как это уже неоднократно бывало, укробандеровцы решили совершить еще более кровавое преступление, чтобы отвлечь внимание от предыдущего, в данном случае от Русского Поречного и попытаться возложить ответственность за это на российские силы.
А это уже территория ДНР, т.е. то что бандеровцы считают "своей землей" и которую они якобы освобождают. Как мы видим никакой разницы в отношении местных жителей, как на российской, так и на "украинской" территории нет.
Я не знаю попадалось ли кому нибудь здесь на глаза высказывание чешского сенатора, но я приведу реакцию на него нашего Железного Димона. От себя осмелюсь предположить, что эта сумасшедшая сенаторша до сих пор оплакивает безвременную кончину Гейдриха.
Просто очередной пример западной "свободы" слова, мнения, печати и пр.
 
Full film in Serbian and in Ukrainian on YT.

Watched the Ukrainian one, with automatic subs translation into Eng. There were some words mistranslated and sentences were not well recognized so the end of one was attached as the beginning to the next one but once you know it, it's not that difficult to make sense of what's been said. For those who are really interested, it's well worth the time and effort. It switches between Yugoslavia and then Serbia, and Ukraine. Quotes Dulles and his idea of the necessity to destroy Slavs and their nations; has poems, monks, priests, and brave people. A lot of footage of the worst of Ukrainians' violence against their compatriots. It touches on children education, faith or the lack of it. And on the devious role of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.

One striking moment was a footage from Patriarch Kirill's visit to Kiev back in July 2008 with crowds of Ukrainians attending the public celebration of the 1020th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus' and listening to his speech. The main theme was "Russia, Ukraine, Belarus — this is holy Rus'!".

Below is a short clip. If you cannot understand Russian, just watch the people and their reactions. Hard to believe, but 6 years later, they were made ready for Maidan.
