🕯 On July 27, the Donetsk People’s Republic will mark a tragic date, Day of Remembrance for Child Victims of the War, established on July 11, 2022 by an executive order of the Head of the Republic.
• The number of underage children, killed by Kiev-controlled military formations, continues to increase in Donbass and elsewhere. On this day, we also remember innocent victims from the Belgorod, Kursk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, including those killed or wounded by militants of the Kiev regime.
• Unfortunately, it is impossible to bring back the deceased children and to provide closure for their parents and relatives. However, it is necessary to expose their murderers who will be severely punished. Russian investigative agencies will take care of this. There cannot be, nor will there be, any statute of limitations for these barbaric crimes.
#Moldova
⚠️ Reprisals against Moldovan citizens who support ties with Russia and call for expanded bilateral relations in all spheres have already broken all world records in terms of their dynamics in Moldova under the regime of Maia Sandu.
• Despite active official anti-Russia propaganda, most Moldovans do not see Russia as a threat and suggest expanding bilateral relations.
🤝 We completely share this mood. The people of Moldova have always been and still are our friends. I believe that they are well aware of this.

#NATO #Ukraine
We have noted that the British press is reporting on the intentions of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron to persuade the incumbent US President Joe Biden to allow Kiev to launch Storm Shadow cruise missiles deep inside Russia's territory before Donald Trump’s inauguration. According to the media, London hopes that the White House will finally approve this step.
We would like to remind Washington, London, Paris and Brussels that they continue to play with fire. President of Russia Vladimir Putin has clearly outlined our response: if Ukraine receives permission to launch such strikes, it would indicate that NATO countries have effectively entered into a direct armed conflict with Russia. This would fundamentally alter the nature and essence of the conflict, with all the ensuing consequences.
❗️ If they use long-range Western systems against the territory of our country, they will face an inevitable and devastating response.
#WhiteHelmets
On October 25, 2024, the UK’s Foreign Office marked the tenth anniversary of the White Helmets NGO by issuing a lengthy statement commending this entity, which is still viewed as a humanitarian organisation in the West. Apart from London, several other sponsors signed this paper: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Qatar and the United States.
And this is happening after everything the White Helmets did in Syria. They used the suffering of the people of Syria as a cheap, albeit bloody, publicity stunt and made working with terrorists their hallmark. London is not even trying to conceal its support for these undercover fighters and has commended the “tremendous efforts and courage” of this “humanitarian organisation.”
The White Helmets remain a major destabilising factor in Syria. Their removal from the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, termination of their activities and exposure of their past crimes are essential for achieving stability in Syria, a country which has suffered so much, and across the region.
#UNESCO #KievRegimeCrimes
The UNESCO Secretariat and in particular Director-General Audrey Azoulay herself continue to openly disregard the Kiev regime’s crimes committed against Russian journalists, including premeditated murders, terrorist attacks and assassination attempts.
We are outraged by the draft report of the UNESCO Director-General, which will be submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of the International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), which will convene in Paris on November 21-22 <...>.
The report is based on “information” provided by politically biased pro-Western NGOs and does not mention the murder of Russian journalists.

#KievRegimeCrimes
⚡️ Human Rights Violations and Killings of Civilians by Ukraine's Troops and Nationalist Organisations in July-August 2024 report was prepared and published recently for public.
It includes facts of crimes committed by the Kiev regime in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Kherson and Bryansk regions recorded between July 1 and August 31, 2024:
• The armed forces and nationalist formations of Ukraine continued to destroy civilian infrastructure in settlements of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and commit war crimes against civilians. Peaceful inhabitants died under strikes of heavy NATO-supplied weapons. Many of civilians sustained serious injuries and were maimed. Targeted drone attacks on peaceful people and civilian objects have become the new normal for the Ukrainian military.
• In Kherson region Ukraine’s army mounted more than 25 massive attacks, firing over 1,500 artillery shells at civilian infrastructure facilities. As a result, 50 people sustained varying degrees of injuries.
• The Ukrainian nationalists mounted 69 targeted attacks against civilian infrastructure and peaceful inhabitants of the Bryansk region. Unlike to previous months, their attacks have become systematic. As a result, significant damage was inflicted to the housing stock, vehicles and peaceful energy facilities of the region. The most egregious crimes were onslaughts against populated areas, which injured and maimed local residents.
***
☝️ The situation regarding the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate was emphasized separately: in August, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian parliament) adopted a law banning the canonical church in the country, after which the Presidential Council appealed to the world leaders of traditional religious denominations to protect the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, its clergy and flock from persecution.

🕊 #MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 60 individuals working in Russian media — correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, and volunteers. Many of them were killed not just in combat zones but also far from the front lines — in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg — through planned and targeted terrorist attacks.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime has tortured and murdered those who dared to speak out against the neo-Nazi junta and expose its crimes. Among the victims were Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina and Gonzalo Lira Lopez, a US citizen.
❗️Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who stood up for the truth and remained committed to their professional duty — right to the end.
▪️ Darya Dugina (1992–2022) was a political analyst, philosopher, and frontline reporter. The daughter of philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. According to investigators, an agent of the Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device under her vehicle and detonated it remotely after several months of surveillance.
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva (1989–2025) was a frontline reporter with Channel One Russia in the Belgorod Region. On March 26, 2025, the vehicle carrying her crew hit a landmine near the Ukrainian border. Anna was killed instantly; the cameraman sustained serious injuries.
▪️ Andrey Stenin (1980–2014), a photo journalist with the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, died on August 6, 2014, on his way from Dmitrovka to Snezhny in the Donetsk People’s Republic, together with Andrey Vyachalo and Sergey Korenchenkov. These journalists were reporting on the latest developments in and around Snezny. Their burnt-out vehicle was discovered only on August 22,with the remains of Andrey and his colleagues in it. Investigators later confirmed it had come under Ukrainian military fire.
▪️ Maxim Fomin, known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was a journalist, blogger, and militia member. He died in a terrorist attack on April 2, 2023, in St. Petersburg. According to investigators, this attack had been in the making since 2022 and was masterminded from Ukraine. Daria Trepova carried it out by bringing an explosive device hidden inside a gypsum sculpture to a meet-the-author event with Tatarsky. Tatarsky was killed instantly, and 30 others were injured. Trepova has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
▪️ And the list continues…
The exhibition is created under the joint efforts of the Donetsk News Agency, Zaporozhye News Agency, Kherson News Agency, and the Lugansk Information Centre, in collaboration with Alexander Malkevich, a member of Russia’s Human Rights Council, with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The initiative has also launched several international exhibitions, hosted by Russian diplomatic missions abroad.
