More from the US military biological dossier. On July 18, 2022, the President of the Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, publicly claimed the United States has been involved in the assassination of former head of state Hugo Chávez.

According to Venezuela officials, U.S. security services have been working since 2002 on possible ways to eliminate the Venezuelan leader, who has pursued an active anti-American policy. Numerous assassination attempts involving members of the US embassy in Caracas were uncovered and thwarted.

In violation of international law, the United States has been developing drugs which, when administered in the short term, cause chronic disease and develop various forms of cancer.

A similar drug was used to poison Chávez by Claudia Díaz, a member of the presidential entourage, Venezuelan side claims. She fled Venezuela with the assistance of US intelligence agencies and was subsequently removed to the US to avoid possible publicity about the details of her cooperation with US intelligence agencies.

‘Amnesty International’ released a report accusing Ukraine of violating laws of war by setting up military bases in residential areas incl schools & hospitals, launching strikes from populated civilian areas. Yet another confirmation of what we’ve been constantly talking about.

In 22 out of the 29 schools visited by ‘Amnesty’ in Apr-Jul, they found evidence of current or prior military activity. In 5 locations, they witnessed Ukrainian troops using hospitals as bases while ‘not aware’ of Ukraine trying to evacuate civilians from the areas in question.
#OTD 81 years ago the heroic 73-day Defence of Odessa began.

Soviet Separate Coastal Army and the Black Sea Fleet, actively supported by civilians, withstood the advancing German-Romanian forces, including the 72nd German Infantry Division, the 4th Romanian Army and Luftwaffe.

During the siege, city defenders repelled several strikes of the considerably outnumbering enemy’s troops (10 to 1 at the beginning of the operation). Stiff Soviet resistance covered the evacuation of civilians, cultural assets and industrial capacities from Odessa, which was completed by 16 Oct 1941.

Right after the takeover of Odessa, Romanian forces supported by the Germans, carried out a massacre in the city, having shot and burnt alive some 25,000-34,000 Jews and Gypsies.

❗️ On August 6, 1945, the A-bombing of #Hiroshima took place - the ultimate barbaric and inhumane act of cruelty.

A city full of civilians, women and children was annihilated in a flash by a devastating nuclear attack carried out by the US.

80'000+ victims perished instantaneously.

💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: On this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet. The United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction.

We need to eliminate the risk of military confrontation between the nuclear powers and rule out the possibility of a nuclear war. We firmly believe that such a war cannot be won and must never be unleashed. We suggest that all nuclear powers officially confirm their commitment to this tenet.

#NeverAgain #LestWeForget
We took note of the disinformation campaign unfolding in the mainstream media to attribute responsibility for the situation with the Zaporozhye NPP to our country. It is unequivocally claimed that the Russian military launched artillery strikes on the territory of the nuclear power plant.
The real state of affairs is just the opposite. It were Ukrainian nationalists who delivered artillery strikes on the territory of the specified object on August 5 and 7. Two high-voltage power lines and a water pipeline were damaged as a result of the shelling. Only thanks to the effective and timely actions of the Russian military in covering the facility, its critical infrastructure was not affected.
We emphasize that this was not the first provocation by Kiev targeted at a radiation-hazardous facility in order to discredit Russia.
We call on the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn the criminal actions of the Kiev regime and take urgent measures to prevent further provocations.
Обратили внимание на дезинформационную кампанию, разворачивающуюся в мейнстримных СМИ, с целью возложить на нашу страну ответственность за ситуацию на Запорожской АЭС. Безапелляционно заявляется, что российские военные нанесли артиллерийские удары по территории атомной станции.
В реальности все наоборот. Именно украинские националисты 5 и 7 августа обстреляли указанный объект. В результате обстрелов повреждены две линии высоковольтной электропередачи и водородопровод. Только благодаря умелым, грамотным и эффективным действиям подразделений ВС России по прикрытию объекта атомной энергетики критически важная инфраструктура АЭС не пострадала.
Обращаем внимание, что что это не первая подобная провокация киевского режима на радиационно опасных объектах с целью дискредитации России.
Призываем Организацию Объединенных Наций, Международное агентство по атомной энергии и другие международные организации осудить преступные действия киевских властей и принять безотлагательные меры по недопущению дальнейших провокаций.
Today marks 14 years since the treacherous attack initiated by the then Georgian leadership on #Tskhinval on 8 August 2008. We commemorate and cherish the memory of Russian peacekeepers & Ossetian civilians killed in this heinous and senseless assault

🛑 The Ukrainian nationalists have recently intensified the shelling of residential areas in Donbass, now use even anti-personnel munition, the so-called butterfly mines.

The use of butterfly mines goes against the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of August 12, 1949.

The fact that the Ukrainian nationalists even possess butterfly mines speaks volumes. By signing the 1997 Ottawa Convention, Ukraine made a commitment not to use anti-personnel mines under any circumstances, not even on the battlefield, and to destroy all stocks of such mines held in arsenals.

Apparently, Kiev has not done any of that.

On August 1, Russia’s Permanent Mission to the UN sent the information about the use of butterfly mines by Ukraine to UNSG Antonio Guterres and the head of the Security Council. The letter with attached photographic evidence will be distributed as an official document of the UNSC & UNGA.
Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova on Ukraine’s continued shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant: Russia has long been calling on the international community, in various contexts and at various levels, to strongly condemn the Kiev regime’s incessant military strikes against the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), while using increasingly destructive weapons systems. The power plant came under Ukrainian fire again on August 5 and 6. Thanks only to the skillful and prompt actions of the employees and of Russian forces, which ensure the comprehensive protection of the facility, was a major disaster avoided.

Комментарий официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой в связи с непрекращающимися обстрелами со стороны Украины Запорожской АЭС (ЗАЭС): Российская сторона уже давно, по различным линиям и на разных уровнях призывает международное сообщество решительно осудить непрекращающиеся военные удары, которые ожесточённо наносятся киевским режимом по ЗАЭС, в том числе с применением всё более разрушительных систем вооружений. Эта станция вновь оказалась под украинским огнём 5 и 6 августа. Только благодаря умелым и оперативным действиям сотрудников АЭС, а также российских сил, обеспечивающих всестороннюю защиту данного объекта, не случилось большой беды

The South African mass media continue publishing distorted information about Russia.

❗️ Most examples are based on groundless assertions of the Western media.

The Daily Maverick website did not hesitate to grant Ambassador of Ukraine to South Africa Lyubov Abravitova space to spread Kiev’s propaganda.

☝️ This is yet another attempt to use false claims of Russian war crimes in Ukraine with the express purpose of evoking an emotional response in the audience..

In her article, Abravitova cited poorly staged videos fabricated by Ukraine’s “creative farms.” She also asserted that the Russian armed forces were being defeated on the battlefield despite numerous statements to the contrary at different levels.
