⚡️⚡️ Another criminal attack by neo-Nazi Ukrainian forces on Russia’s Belgorod hit a neighbourhood that had already suffered from shelling – it did not even have time to be repaired.
❗️ The Kiev regime continues to cynically shell peaceful Belgorod. The photos show another "precise" strike by Banderites’ artillery whose purpose is nothing less than the destruction of civilians.

📆 On 2 April 1833, the first complete edition of Alexander Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin” novel in verse was published in Russia.
✍️ It took Pushkin 7 years, 4 months and 17 days to write the novel.
For most of Russians at the time it became, as literary critic V.Belinsky put it, “encyclopedia of Russian life” giving a true-to-life picture of Russian society in the known period.
Almost the entire work is made up of 389 fourteen-line stanzas with an unusual rhyme scheme which became known as the “Onegin stanza”.
🌐 The novel was translated in about 40 languages with several versions in some of them.

Zelensky has signed a law reducing the mobilization age from 27 to 25
In mid-March, US Senator Lindsey Graham, while on a visit in Kiev, urged Ukrainian lawmakers to quickly pass the bill to significantly lower the draft age, adding that Ukrainians ‘should be serving – not at 25 or 27.’
💬 "We need more people in the line," Graham said.
Days later, Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, who also was in Kiev, said: “You need people to replace the dead and wounded. And that means only one thing – mobilization.”
Lately, cases of physical violence against Ukrainian enlistment officers who catch conscripts in the streets, raid public spaces and round up men to send them to the frontline have become more frequent in the country. On March 21, a man in Novovolynsky, Volyn Region, attacked military enlistment officers, who were going to forcibly recruit him, with a knife.
A court in Lvov sentenced a person who said that he would rather assume criminal liability, instead of going to war and killing Russians, to three years in prison.
The number of draft-dodgers has now soared greatly, almost ten times over.
According to the Prosecutor-General’s Office of Ukraine, over 9,000 criminal cases have been opened against them; over 2,600 of these have been submitted to courts. At the instigation of the Kiev regime, a real hunt has been launched against Ukrainian men. Border guards are authorised to use drones and to shoot to kill draft-dodgers trying to cross the border.

⚡️ Christian icons filled with explosives – Intercepted from Ukraine and headed for Orthodox Churches in Russia.
Russia's Federal Security Service has reported that it and the Federal Customs Service have blocked a route for smuggling explosives from Ukraine through EU countries to Russia.
During an inspection of a car at a checkpoint in the Pskov region, explosives, including foreign ones, were found in Orthodox icons and church utensils.
☝🏼 According to FSB, “In total, from the cargo traveling along the route Ukraine - Romania - Hungary - Slovakia - Poland - Lithuania - Latvia - Russia, 27 improvised explosive devices camouflaged in icons and ready for use, 70 kg of industrially produced high-power plastic explosives, 91 electric detonators were recovered.”
❗️ Not a single security service of the EU countries found the dangerous cargo (or maybe they didn't want to?)
Ukraine is a terrorist state, and the West is its accomplice.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall:
💬 It is important to identify not only the actual perpetrators but also all the links in the chain of ultimate criminal beneficiaries of this atrocity. We will definitely get our hands on them.
☝🏼 And here is what I would like to say in this regard. Those who use this weapon – and this is a weapon used against Russia, it is already obvious today – must understand that it is double-edged. <…>
❗️ Those criminal networks do not have reliable assets. They would do anything for money guided solely by financial considerations regardless of any religious or political ideas. Selling anything is as easy: they can buy or sell any information, so we are sure to get to the ultimate customer.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to the Rossiya Segodnya question regarding a statement by the press service of the Foreign Ministry of Sweden on the alleged legality of Swedish mercenaries’ participation in fighting on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
❓ Question: Press officer of the Swedish Foreign Ministry Tomas Vanecek said in reply to a question from Rossiya Segodnya that “it is not illegal for Swedish citizens to participate in the defence of Ukraine.” What is the attitude of the Russian Foreign Ministry to this statement?
💬 Maria Zakharova: We can confirm that foreign mercenaries, including Swedish nationals, are fighting on the side of the nationalist Kiev regime, and this is a well-known fact. The Swedish Foreign Ministry’s clumsy attempts to legitimise these “soldiers of fortune,” thereby encouraging more Swedish nationals to travel to the zone of hostilities, show Stockholm’s complete disregard for the future of its citizens.
Although the link to the recruitment for the Ukrainian foreign legion is currently missing from the website of the Ukrainian embassy in Sweden, there is no doubt that it continues to recruit Swedish citizens through other channels.
☝️ The Defence Ministry of Russia has put the total number of Swedish mercenaries in Ukraine at about 90 and has reported that 25 of them have been eliminated. We advise not only Swedes, but anyone who is planning to take up arms against Russian forces in the zone of the special military operation, to take this into consideration. The authorities of foreign countries should be aware of this and should recognise their responsibility towards their citizens.

⚡️ The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation strongly condemns the attempts of external interference in the preparation and organization of presidential elections in the Russian Federation, which had begun even before the elections were officially scheduled.
The interference attempts, mostly coordinated by Washington, were made in several directions, including👇
• public statements by senior Western politicians <...>;
• attempts at creating an illegal digital platform for holding fake "alternative" elections of the president of the Russia Federation from abroad;
• violation of the legislative ban on election campaigning on voting days, namely through a protest action at noon on 17 March 2024 that was orchestrated from abroad;
• organizing and carrying out more than 12 million cyber-attacks against the Russian Federation Central Election Commission official website, including DDoS attacks;
• hampering the arrival in Russia of invited foreign (international) observers
and others.
❗️ The Kiev regime, incited by its NATO sponsors, also took actions to disrupt the elections of the president of the Russian Federation. Ukraine's armed formations shelled polling stations in the Russian Federation border regions.
It can be stated that the generally recognized principles and norms of the international law <...> were grossly violated.
<...>
☝️ The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation calls on the United Nations, international parliamentary organizations and parliaments of foreign States to condemn the actions of the collective West that are coordinated by Washington, interfere in the preparation and organization of the elections of the president of the Russian Federation, obstruct the free expression of the will of Russian citizens, and encourage terrorism and extremism in order to destabilize the situation in Russia during the election campaign.
