‼️Extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 5 may 2022):


🔹Ukrainian armed nationalistic battalions & Ukrainian Armed Forces on orders of Kiev continue to commit mass crimes against civilian population of DPR & LPR, in liberated cities in south-east of Ukraine and in territories occupied by Ukrainian military

🔹By joint humanitarian efforts of 🇷🇺Russia and #UN, with involvement of relevant NGOs, it was possible to convince Ukrainian side to allow civilians to safely leave the territory of Azovstal and nearby houses

🔹Calls to militants on territory of Azovstal to lay down their arms thus saving their lives are stubbornly ignored. Nationalists showed their true attitude towards civilian hostages, offering to exchange them for food and medicine

🔹Kiev regime continues to defiantly get closer to armed nationalists, incl. nationalistic formations, which account for hundreds of military punitive attacks in DPR and LPR, as well as acts of intimidation on territory of Ukraine

🔹With Western direct support 🇺🇦 Kiev regime continues to systematically violate intl humanitarian law. This is done in order to inflict damage on civilian population and attribute everything to actions of Russian military, to denigrate 🪖🇷🇺 Russian armed forces

🔹Kiev regime bets on creating threats for neighboring states, further militarization, support of aggressive nationalism, and refuses diplomatic contacts in order to resolve the situation

🔹Actions of Kiev regime since 2014 show that its representatives want to quickly get rid of everything that reminds of 🇺🇦 Ukraine liberation from Nazi invaders & victory of Soviet people over Nazism in #WorldWarII

🔹Full-scale campaign to monuments’ demolition and other evidence of the struggle against Nazism, as well as glorification of Nazi criminals at state level is underway in Ukraine

🔹NATO countries, continuing dangerous militarization of 🇺🇦Ukraine, use its territory as a testing ground for the disposal of weapons and ammunition that have long expired

🔹Washington doesn’t hide true goal of its policy on #Ukraine - to inflict on Russia by the hands of Ukrainian nationalists “strategic defeat” in the region, i.e. undermine Russian statehood, hinder its sustainable development

📹🏳️ Surrender of Azov nationalist unit fighters and Ukrainian servicemen blocked at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol

◽️ Over the past 24 hours, 265 militants have laid down arms and surrendered, including 51 seriously wounded.

🏥 All those in need of medical assistance were sent for treatment to a hospital in Novoazovsk, Donetsk People's Republic.

⚠️ Nationalist battalion fighters and AFU units, using civilians as human shields, continue to use civilian infrastructure to equip strongholds and deploy heavy weaponry.

🔹Azov Neo-Nazis battalion:

▫️in Mirnograd, Donetsk People's Republic, kindergarten No 19 in the Vostochnyi Microdistrict and a boarding school on L. Chaikina Street have been equipped with strongholds and barracks, and armoured vehicles and artillery have been placed in close proximity to residential areas;

▫️in Borovaya, Kharkov Region, barracks have been equipped in the school building and the Beryozka kindergarten, and heavy military equipment, artillery and MLRS have been placed on the territories. At the same time, civilians with children are forcibly detained in basements.

🔹Fighters of Aidar battalion:

▫️on the territory of the Church of the Praise of the Mother of God in Pavlograd, Dnepropetrovsk Region, firing positions, artillery and MLRS have been placed in close proximity to densely populated residential areas;

▫️in Zaporozhye, they equipped firing positions and ammunition depots on the lower floors of hospitals on Sobornyi Prospect and Pobedy Street. At the same time, hospital staff and patients are held back as human shield.

🔹Armed formations of the Donbass battalion have equipped a stronghold in residential building No 10 on General Lozanovich Street in Slavyansk in Donetsk People's Republic and deployed heavy weapons and an ammunition depot. However, no civilians were evacuated from the building.

🔹In Sumy, AFU units have mined a road bridge on Kharkovskaya Street over the railway tracks of the Southern Railway branch, which they plan to blow up, blaming it on allegedly "advancing units of Russian troops".

❗️Such actions of the Kiev regime once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude to the fate of Ukrainian citizens and indicate a gross violation of the norms of international humanitarian law, but despite our repeated statements, they still remain without the attention of the international community and international organizations.

⚠️ According to information received from captured Ukrainian servicemen, militants of nationalist battalions are preparing another provocation with the use of toxic substances in Sumy.

▫️The neo-Nazis plan to shell Russian border territory from a residential area in the city and provoke Russian units to retaliate, after which they will blow up chemical tanks.

📹Foreign journalists are in Sumy to take photographs and video.

▫️This cynical action will soon be used by the Kiev authorities to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly using chemical weapons and indiscriminate strikes on civilians.

▫️Moreover, while previously in preparation for such provocations the civilian population was withdrawn from the area of planned contamination, now, in order to maximise the resonance, no warning was given to the population.

❗️We warn the "civilized West" as well as the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in advance that the above and other similar provocations about alleged "Russian atrocities" are soon to be widely spread by the Ukrainian authorities through the Western media and in various Internet resources.

⚠️In Kharkov Region, militants of the nationalist Kraken unit, formed mainly from radicals and released from prison rapists and murderers, conduct punitive raids in which so-called "death squads" at night break into the homes of local residents suspected by the SSU of pro-Russian sentiment, physically abuse them and take them away to an unknown destination.

▫️Dozens of the detainees never returned home, and their fate is still unknown.

▫️Such criminal actions and provocations on the part of the Kiev regime once again demonstrate Kiev's inhuman attitude towards the fate of its citizens and show complete disregard for the norms and principles of international humanitarian law.

❗️By applying a policy of "double standards", the collective West has absolutely no interest in conducting an impartial investigation and finding those responsible for the current disastrous humanitarian situation in Ukraine, and in fact "turns a blind eye" to numerous violations of international conventions by the Ukrainian side, shifting the blame onto the Russian Federation without evidence.
