❗ Statement by Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
▪️ 🇷🇺Donetsk, which has been enduring the horrors of 🇺🇦Ukrainian nationalists since 2014, today lives through another grim page in its modern history. 25 civilians died and more than 20 people, including 2 children, sustained serious injuries in an AFU artillery strike on a local market, in an indiscriminate shelling that was carried out with Western-supplied weapons and munitions.
▪️ Confronted with a series of both political and military failures, Zelenskiy and his butchers once again vent their blind rage on civilians of 🇷🇺Donbass. The Western countries will not condemn or even notice this act of pure barbarism committed by their proxies in 🇺🇦Kiev. What’s worse, certain international human rights organizations might follow suit.
❗️ We urge the 🇺🇳UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Völker Turk and his Office not to allow such atrocities to go unnoticed, to publicly react to this indiscriminate shelling of civilians in 🇷🇺Donetsk by 🇺🇦Ukrainian militants.

❗️ The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, supported by the United States and its satellites, has committed yet another brutal terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia.
On the morning of January 21, armed units of Bandera’s followers [Stephan Bandera - a Hitlerite crony & WWII war criminal, the idol of the Ukranian neo-Nazis & nationalists aka the banderovites] deliberately targeted a market and shops in Tekstilshchik, a neighbourhood in the Kirovsky District of Donetsk. A total of six artillery rounds were fired at the busiest areas in town causing a large number of casualties. According to reports, at least 27 people were killed and 25 were injured.
Read in full
It was established that the shelling was coming from Avdeyevka, which is still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the types of weapons supplied by the West were used. This is further confirmation of the Western countries’ direct involvement in the conflict, implicating them in the criminal acts committed by the Zelensky regime.
Russia strongly condemns this treacherous attack on civilians. The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia using their Ukrainian puppets to do the fighting, thoughtlessly supporting them without any limits, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including terrorist attacks, massive violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.
☝️ Russia calls on all responsible governments and relevant international agencies to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism. Their silence would mean tacit approval of the murder of civilians and encourage Ukrainian neo-Nazis to commit even more terrible atrocities.
The terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime clearly demonstrate that it has no political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic means. No threats to security or acts of terrorism must be coming from the territory of Ukraine.

🎙 Christelle Néant, a French journalist and the Editor-in-Chief of the Donbass Insider website, who has lived in Donbass for several years, told RIA Novosti about French mercenaries participating in the conflict in Ukraine:
💬 French mercenaries have been fighting on the Ukrainian side since 2014, and not just since 2022. As soon as the war broke out in Donbass, French mercenaries immediately joined the fight on Ukraine’s side.
Most of them were neo-Nazis, fighting in neo-Nazi battalions such as Azov and Right Sector.
💬 We also saw people who had never fought and who were not neo-Nazis, but who believed in all the NATO propaganda. They left Ukraine in 2022.
Now the only people who have stayed are here for safari, so to speak: Russophobes, neo-Nazis, and those who are following NATO’s lead and hold strong anti-Russia sentiments.
