Foreign Ministry statement on Ukraine’s strike on Donetsk
At 11:30 am on March 14, Ukrainian forces hit a residential neighbourhood in Donetsk with a Tochka-U tactical missile with a cluster munition warhead prohibited under international law. Although intercepted by air defence, preventing catastrophic losses, the downed missile still landed on the peaceful city and killed 20 and seriously wounded 28 people, including children, women and seniors.
The DPR leadership has called it an act of terror.
Such strikes are sanctioned by the country’s leadership at the highest level. We strongly condemn this atrocity committed by the Kiev regime. It confirms again that the nationalist government of Ukraine intends to continue waging war on the civilians of the DPR and the LPR, as it has already been doing with its punitive operation in Donbass for the last eight years. Kiev has apparently decided to launch missiles at completely innocent people as revenge for its defeats during Russia’s special military operation to defend the DPR and the LPR. We are clearly witnessing the death throes of the Ukrainian authorities.
On behalf of the people and leadership of our country, the Foreign Ministry conveys its deep condolences to the families and friends of the dead, as well as to the government of the Donetsk People’s Republic, and wishes a speedy recovery to the wounded. We are confident that this crime against humanity will not go unpunished.

❗️Important Finance Ministry of Russia statement⚡️
Russia will honour all its obligations to service and redeem government #securities in a timely manner.
In order to repay its #Eurobonds, the Finance Ministry will issue payment orders to agent banks instructing them to execute payments in foreign currency in keeping with the timeline set forth in the corresponding emission documents. Whether the funds can be transferred will depend on the restrictions resulting from sanctions imposed on the Government and the Bank of Russia.
If a foreign correspondent bank is unable to execute the payment order, it will be recalled. In that event, the following procedure will be used to fulfil the payment obligations:
The Eurobonds will be repaid in #roubles as per the exchange rate set by the Central Bank as of the payment date.
Depending on where the Eurobond certificate is kept, the National Settlement Depository will either proceed to settlements with the creditors on its own, or transfer funds to the accounts of individuals and foreign lending institutions.
“We have the required funds for servicing our debt,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.
The Finance Ministry will keep the agent banks updated on its efforts to service and repay its Eurobonds as per the terms of issuance.

Oleg Karpovich and Mikhail Troyansky, Pro-Rectors at the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Diplomatic Academy, on the real causes of the launch of the Russian operation in Ukraine
From the first minute, the information war accompanying the #Russian_Federation ’s #special_military_operation in #Ukraine has bred distorted and far-fetched interpretations of the Russian party’s goals and motives, with global media outlets, particularly the Western media, circulating them. For many months and even years, Moscow tried to inform the international public at large about the real-life situation and Russia’s concerns. However, these attempts were deliberately ignored. Efforts to demonise Russia have become ridiculous in the past few days, with the aim of replacing the facts of the matter with emotions and propaganda clichés.
So, what was the real cause of the special military operation? First of all, the crisis around #Donbass exacerbated the situation. For many years, Kiev brought this crisis to a boiling point by sabotaging the #Minsk_agreements. Representatives of the Ukrainian leadership repeatedly stated that it was impossible to fulfill the documents, signed in Minsk, and that they had to be revised to a certain extent. At the same time, Western countries, including France and Germany, ignored Kiev’s ostentatious reluctance to follow in the wake of the peace process, year after year. The situation could have been deemed tolerable if Ukraine’s interaction with the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics developed in a way similar to the dialogue between Moldova and Transnistria. But Kiev deliberately ignored the diplomatic process and stepped up its blockade of Donbass year in, year out. Moreover, Kiev beefed up its military formation along the line of contact to the maximum possible extent. The situation was aggravated by the harsh suppression of opposition tendencies in areas of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions, not controlled by the above-mentioned people’s republics. Pre-requisites for resolving the issue under a scenario similar to the liquidation of the Republic of #Serbian_Krajina (Republika Srpska Krajina) in 1995 were deliberately created. #Georgia chose precisely this escalation concept in 2008 when it attacked #South_Ossetia. This time, the Russian leadership decided to launch a pre-emptive strike.
Second, throughout Ukraine, and especially in the country’s southeastern areas, the Ukrainian authorities implemented their official line aimed at oppressing the Russian-speaking population and any opponents of the country’s linguistic and ideological unification. In 2014, dozens of activists from pro-Russian movements were eliminated in Kharkov, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk and some other cities. In the past few years, the Ukrainian authorities supplemented the threats and intimidation aimed at the opposition with sanctions against their own citizens, and they also liquidated disloyal media outlets. At the same time, particularly favourable conditions were created for neo-Nazi paramilitary units, including the Azov or Aydar battalions, the C14 nationalist group, the Right Sector (banned in the Russian Federation) and others. Critical remarks on the part of international organisations, including the #UN and the #Council_of_Europe, did not influence the position of Kiev, which had enjoyed the support of Washington for all these years. Speaking of long-term prospects, this line led the country towards the chaos of a civil war.

Speaking of long-term prospects, this line led the country towards the chaos of a civil war.
And, finally, the status quo that had shaped up prior to February 24, posed a serious threat to international security. Kiev’s refusal to recognise the choice of Crimea and Donbass residents, as well as Ukraine’s line to join NATO, formalised by the Ukrainian Constitution, and repeated regrets concerning the country’s non-nuclear status (Vladimir Zelensky’s Munich speech was merely the culmination of a long-standing debate in Ukrainian political circles) created the risk of a global conflict. The West’s reluctance to declare a moratorium on the expansion of NATO and to renounce Ukraine’s integration into the Alliance showed vividly that Brussels and Washington were obviously ready to aggravate the situation.
The Ukrainian authorities had every opportunity to prevent a dramatic scenario, fraught with the sufferings of civilians, but they chose the road of confrontation. This confrontation must end as soon as possible, and this is now the only condition for de-escalating the protracted and explosive crisis around Ukraine.

⚡️ Maryana Naumova's response to Arnold Schwarzenegger
💬 Mr Schwarzenegger, I watched your message to my fellow Russians. Obviously, you didn’t “work” on the letters I gave you, even though you promised. You are a wonderful motivator, athlete and actor, you are really loved in Russia, but your message is based on some other invented reality. Just like in the movies.
But the truth about what happened, Arnold, is in the letters that have been kept by your assistants since 2015. The true reality, Arnold, is on the ‘Alley of Angels’ memorial, in Donetsk, where everyone can read the names of children who were killed by bullets and bombs of the Ukrainian army. <...>
Please, find and reread the letters, that the children of #Donbass wrote to you back in 2015.
In the near future, I’m going to visit the Donbass schools again. Arnold, I’m sure it’s no more frightful and dangerous there, than it was in Iraq – I invite you to see everything with your own eyes.
Don’t side with Skynet, Terminator!

❗Mass Media of Russia about Situation in Ukraine❗
1. Russian Foreign Ministry announced measures against the decisions of the Government of Japan
Considering the obviously unfriendly character of unilateral restrictions imposed by Tokyo, the Russian Federation decided not to continue peace treaty talks with Japan, suspended visa-free travel for Japanese citizens, withdrew from the dialogue with Japan on developing joint economic activities on the southern Kuril Islands.
All responsibility for harming bilateral cooperation and the interests of Japan itself rests with Tokyo, which has deliberately chosen an anti-Russia course instead of developing mutually beneficial cooperation and neighbourly relations.

Ukrainian nationalists continue to use residential areas of settlements and social facilities as a "human shield" to deploy their artillery systems and conduct massive fire on Russian servicemen.
The coordinates of the position of Ukrainian multiple rocket launchers were confirmed by Russian reconnaissence through several channels, as well as the location of warehouse with rocket ammunition was discovered in a closed shopping centre on the outskirts of Kiev. Live monitoring and recording system clearly shows a multiple launch rocket system enters it for reloading. On the night of March 21a battery of Ukrainian MLRS and a storage base were destroyed with high-precision long-range weapons.
The special military operation was organized by a professional army, which actually uses cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons. They carry out precision strikes against military infrastructure and never against civilian objects. The nationalists themselves and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hitting civilian targets.
The Russian Defence Ministry has analyzed the results of the destruction by aviation missile complexes "Kinzhal" with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles of the underground protected storages of Ukrainian aviation weapons and combat units for Tochka-U missile systems located in the Delyatin, Ivano-Frankovsk region, as well as large fuel depots in Konstantinovka, Nikolaev region. Missiles of "Kinzhal" complex were launched from a range of more than 1,000 kilometers. The flight time of the hypersonic missile was less than 10 minutes. Due to hypersonic speed, ultra-high kinetic energy, as well as due to its invisibility and invulnerability to any means of enemy air and missile defence the warhead was able to destroy a protected underground arsenal located in a mountainous area, built in Soviet times.
All the alleged "real data" about losses of military equipment and personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, including senior and superior officers is propagandistic lies.
In turn, it is necessary to draw attention to the actions of the Ukrainian Security Service, neo-Nazi formations and other so-called "special Ukrainian structures" that terrorize their own citizens trying to leave the territory of Ukraine. It is these representatives of the Kiev regime who create a stir on the border. They let children and women through. Although not all of them. As for the male population of Ukraine, they are forcibly conscripted into the army as so-called "reservists". In fact, they are used as "cannon fodder".
22.03.2022 (10:30) Units of the Russian Armed Forces, developing the offensive, advanced another 6 kilometers and captured Urozhajnoe. They are fighting with units of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The troops of the Donetsk People's Republic has penetrated 4 kilometers deep into the defence of the 25th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and is fighting to capture Kamenka, Novoselovka II, and Verhnetoreckoe.
They advanced 5 kilometers into Kurakhovo direction. Units of the Donetsk Republic captured Slavnoe, Trudovskoi, Shahta Chelyuskintsev and Mar'inka. During the day, 3 tanks, 4 infantry fighting vehicles, 4 field artillery guns and 6 all- terrain vehicles were destroyed in this area.
