#Ukraine #Terrorism

Stripping people of their basic right - the right to life - the Kiev regime continues to shell peaceful Russian cities.

Donetsk, which suffered the most during nine years of Kiev's aggression against the Russian-speaking people of Donbass, is seriously affected by the bombing attacks. There are daily reports about the Armed Forces of Ukraine killing children, women, and elderly people. This in no way diminishes the value of the lives or detracts from the loss of lives of men who are defending Donbass.

The developments in Ukraine once again show the timeliness of the special military operation, which, as the Russian leadership has said, will continue and its goals and objectives will be fulfilled.

#France #PoliceBrutality

I have no intention of interfering in the domestic affairs of France. I will emphasise for the second time that this is not in the tradition of Russian diplomacy. I am just wondering how justified Paris’s regular lectures to various sovereign states are amid such an acute socio-political confrontation and an actual split in French society.

I am not talking about Russia alone although the Elysee Palace is constantly trying to teach us something in public, on social media or at the platforms of international agencies. Every state goes through its own path of development. This is a historical process. It overcomes crises proceeding from its own national interests, traditions and peculiarities. This must evoke respect. To have respect it is necessary to understand this.

▪️ #Ukraine #Terrorism

On January 21, Ukrainian neo-Nazis launched a targeted missile and artillery strike against a farmer’s market and retail outlets in the Tekstilshchik residential area, Kirovsky District, Donetsk. This was the most violent attack in recent years, killing 27 civilians, including two teenagers, and injuring another 25 residents.

The premeditated terrorist attack by Ukrainian surface-to-air missiles launched from the Kharkov Region targeting Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft on January 24 was another heinous crime committed by the Zelensky regime. Everyone onboard, including six crew members, three Russian escort officers, and 65 Ukrainian servicemen on their way to a pre-agreed prisoner swap, died on the spot.

Kiev was aware of this flight and its humanitarian mission, yet they issued an order to destroy it.

▪️ #NATO

Against the backdrop of constant calls for Russia to de-escalate, the plans of the North Atlantic Alliance to hold Steadfast Defender 2024, the largest coalition military exercise since the Cold War, raise numerous questions. The manoeuvres amount to an overt provocation. For several months, a joint force consisting of 90,000 personnel from 31 NATO member countries and Sweden will be deployed near the Russian borders, spanning the territory from Norway to Romania.

This step is deliberately aimed at escalating tensions; it raises the risk of military incidents and could lead to tragic consequences for Europe.

⚠️ Ties of Ukraine's military and political leadership with terrorist organizations

Along with the violation of international humanitarian law by Ukrainian armed formations, mercenaries and their sponsors represented by the United States and NATO countries, the military and political leadership of Ukraine is actively using terrorist organizations in its criminal activities.

The main motives for the participation of mercenaries in combat operations on the side of the AFU are monetary payments, adherence to nationalist and Russophobic views, and the possibility of legalization, despite the involvement of some of them in international terrorist organizations.

⚡️ On the side of Ukraine's neo-Nazis are no less radical Islamists from terrorist organizations banned in Russia: ISIS, al-Qaeda, and the Caucasus Emirate.

Today, the common goal of neo-Nazis and jihadists is obvious – it is the cultivation of world terrorism based on hatred for Russia and the Russians.

❗️ These people torture prisoners, bomb and terrorize the civilian population, and commit terrible war crimes. They are everywhere, wherever there is any possibility for manifestation of the lowest human qualities and misanthropy. These are the people to whom the so-called collective West pumps money and weapons to achieve its goals.
