🎙 Remarks to the Press by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia regarding shelling of Donetsk by Ukrainian military

Read in full

🔷 The Ukrainian military continue to shell civilians. Recently their assaults have intensified. And on June 13 the Kiev regime launched a large-scale shelling of the city of Donetsk and adjacent areas in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

🔷 This shelling could not bring to Kiev any military advantage as Donetsk is not on the line of contact. There are no military objects where the shells fell. The Ukrainian military deliberately targeted civilian districts and infrastructure – hospitals, markets, residential areas.

🔷 It is a disgrace that the Western media largely stay blind, deaf and numb to these appalling incidents. And those who speak up, only do so to promote nonsense that the city was shelled by the Russian forces.

🔷 I would like to say to the Western countries supplying weaponry to Ukraine – the blood of civilians is on your hands.

🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin took part in the 14th BRICS Summit, held via videoconference and chaired by China.

💬 President Putin: The BRICS format has been consistently increasing its prestige and international influence. This is an objective process, since the five BRICS countries, as we all know, have immense political, economic, scientific, technical and human potential. We have everything we need to work together and achieve results for ensuring global stability and security, sustained growth and prosperity, and better well-being for our people.

I believe that the topic of today’s meeting, Foster High-Quality BRICS Partnership, Usher in a New Era for Global Development, is very relevant. Considering the complexity of the challenges and threats the international community is facing, and the fact that they transcend borders, we need to come up with collective solutions.

👉 The Beijing Declaration of the 14th BRICS Summit formalises the key agreements of the meeting.

The Plenary session of the SPIEF-2022 in English:

Vladimir Putin in his speech highlighted, that “The first principle, on which our country, our economy will develop - is openness”.

“Russia will never follow the road of self-isolation and autarky although our so-called Western friends are literally dreaming about this. Moreover, we are expanding cooperation with all those who are interested in it, who want to work with us, and will continue to do so”.

#DebunkingMyths

❌ Myth: Russia is using energy supplies for political purposes.

✅ Faсts: It is the EU which, by imposing or planning to impose further unilateral sanctions against Russian energy supplies, is politicizing the energy sphere, attempting to use interdependences between energy consumers and suppliers as an instrument of political pressure, while damaging its own economy and the well-being of its citizens and aggravating what is already a precarious situation in the global energy markets.

Unfounded allegations that Moscow is using energy supplies for political aims are part and parcel of the fact-twisting information warfare unleashed by the EU and the US, the latter seeking to increase its LNG exports to the EU.

⚠️ We continue to record the facts of criminal acts by Ukrainian authorities against the civilian population of Ukraine and the people's republics of Donbas.

🔹 It has been reliably elicited that the Kiev regime has prepared and is attempting to carry out yet another provocation to accuse Russian Armed Forces of destroying important elements of vital infrastructure in Ukraine and creating an energy and humanitarian crisis in the country.

🔹 In order to implement it, Ukrainian command has deliberately deployed its armed groups at Krivoy Rog therman station (Zelenodolsk, Dnepropetrovsk reg.), from where artillery and multiple rocket-launching system (MRLS) units have been redeploying to firing positions, periodically shelling the northern districts of Kherson region and shelter in the thermal station provoking Russian troops to launch a counter attack every day (since June 24, 2022).

🔹 These acts committed by Ukrainian authorities show the readiness of the Kiev regime to sacrifice the welfare of their citizens for another high-profile provocation. It is possible that after having failed to provoke Russian Armed Forces to strike the Krivoy Rog thermal station, Ukrainian nationalists may explode elements of the power plant themselves and present fake evidence of a strike by Russian troops to the world community with.

❗️ In case of implementation of this cynical plan and destruction of the facilities, the population of most central regions of Ukraine and hundreds of life-supporting facilities will be left without electricity. We urge the administration and maintenance staff of Krivoy Rog thermal station, as well as residents of Dnepropetrovsk region, to make every effort for preventing this provocation. By publicly protesting against the use of energy facilities by armed groups and ensuring their withdrawal from the power plant, you will keep light and heat in your houses, protect yourself and your loved ones, as well as protect Ukrainian people from the arbitrary rule of the Kiev regime.

❗️ We warn the so-called civilised West in advance that the above mentioned and other provocations by the Ukrainian authorities about the allegedly 'atrocities of the Russians' are soon to be widely circulated through the Western media.

​​⚠️ Furthermore, despite the threat of a food crisis, Ukrainian armed groups continue using the food industry for military purposes:

🔹 in the Donetsk People's Republic, at the bakery plant (Slavyansk, Bogomoltsa ln.) and the dairy plant (Kramatorsk, Geroyev Soyuza st.), units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have deployed their firing positions, armoured vehicles, artillery guns and MRLS, as well as have been periodically launching attacks at settlements;

🔹 in Kharkov, at the bakery plant №11 (Gvardeytsev-Shironinysev st.), nationalists have deployed long-range artillery and MRLS, while residents of local buildings have been deliberately left without evacuation.

🔹 These facts show again the indifference of Ukrainian authorities to the lives of civilian population.

🔹 It occurs with the tacit consent of the western countries that continue turning a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

​​⚠️ We continue to carefully record the facts of the inhumane treatment of civilians and use of residential buildings, educational institutions, cultural buildings and other social infrastructure facilities for military purposes by Ukrainian armed groups:

🔹 in Zaporozhye, in the Children's Art Palace (Zaporozhskaya sq.), nationalists have deployed a strongpoint, an armament and munitions depot, as well as firing and sniper positions along the perimeter of the institution and at the upper floors of nearest residential buildings;

🔹 in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the residence of technological vocational school (Uralskaya st.) and in the gymnasium №1 (Arkhangelskaya st.), militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups have deployed barracks, as well as armoured equipment and large-calibre artillery at Yubileyny park;

🔹 in Bakhmut, Donetsk People's Republic, in the industrial vocational college (Chaykovskogo st.), AFU units have deployed provisional bases, as well as armoured equipment, mortar positions and heavy artillery at the adjacent territory. Militants restrict local residents to leave their houses, all their attempts to evacuate to safe areas are severely suppressed.

❗️ These facts show the inhumane treatment of the Ukrainian authorities to the civilian population and their total disregard to the international humanitarian law. Despite the repeated statements by the Joint Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response, this kind of cynical acts committed by the Kiev regime have been ignored by the international society until now.

⚡️☣️ Excerpts from the Russian Defence Ministry briefing on the results of analysing documents related to the military-biological activity of the USA in Ukraine

🔻 One of the key Pentagon contractors, Metabiota, was involved in the response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. The special military operation has led to receiving documents that reveals the plans of Metabiota and the Ukrainian Scientific-Technological Centre to study the Ebola virus in Ukraine.

🔻 Ukraine and other post-Soviet states have become a testing ground for biological weapons not only for the USA, but also for its NATO allies; on the first place, Germany. Various projects have been carried out on behalf of the Joint Medical Service of the German Armed Forces.

🔻The lack of therapeutic effect of antibacterial medication has been reported during in-patient treatment of AFU servicemen in medical facilities. This fact may indicate preventive use of antibiotics and preparation of personnel for operating in conditions of biological contamination.
