⚔️ #OnThisDay in 1941, the heroic defence of the Brest Fortress commenced. Its defenders held an entire Wehrmacht division in position for almost a month. Today, the citadel remains a monument to the unbending will of those who were the first to stand in the way of the Nazi invaders.
When the Great Patriotic War broke out, the fortress primarily served as accommodations for personnel who would be required to defend it outside its walls if attacked. The garrison consisted of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 soldiers of over 30 ethnicities, mainly from units of the 6th and 42nd rifle divisions of the 28th Rifle Corps of the Red Army.
▪️ The fortress was one of the first to bear the brunt of the Nazi attack on June 22, 1941. At dawn it came under heavy enemy fire. Within hours, Soviet soldiers and their families found themselves surrounded by the enemy, cut off from the army and rear forces. Despite facing severe shortages of ammunition, food and water, they made the decision to fight to the end, transforming the fortress into a crucial stronghold.
Although the Nazi command had anticipated capturing the fortress within hours, they became ensnared for a week, resorting to incendiary ammunition, tear gas and 500-kg bombs in their attempts to break the will of the defenders.
The surviving Soviet soldiers engaged in acts of sabotage, with some attacks continuing until late July and even early August 1941. Most of the citadel’s defenders perished, but a small number managed to break through to the partisans or the frontline positions of the Red Army.
Brest was liberated on July 28, 1944, as the Red Army advanced during the Belorussian Offensive. The liberation took only two days. Soviet soldiers entered the fortress for the first time in three years of Nazi occupation. On the remaining walls, they discovered inscriptions left by their comrades. The most famous of these, dated July 20, 1941, was found in 1950: "I'm dying, but I won't surrender. Farewell, Motherland."
🎖A total of 200 fallen and surviving defenders of the Brest Fortress were awarded medals. A museum was established at the fortress in 1956, and a memorial complex opened in 1971. The best students from local schools have been standing guard by the Eternal Flame since then. The citadel was officially conferred the title of "Hero Fortress" in 1965.

🗓️ On June 23, 1944, 80 years ago, one of the most large scale & successful strategic offensives of the World War II began — Operation Bagration. In two months of fighting along a front line of more than 1100 km the Red Army reached the Elgava — Dobele — Siauliai — Suwalki — Prague (suburb of Warsaw) — Vistula River line by August 29, liberating the Belarusian SSR, parts of the Lithuanian & Latvian SSRs, and eastern areas of Poland from the Nazi invaders.
By the summer of 1944, the Red Army had managed to push German forces away from Leningrad, liberate Crimea & right-bank Ukraine, and reach the Romanian border. However, the Nazi occupiers still controlled a significant part of Belarus, where they had spent three years committing atrocities: burning entire villages with their inhabitants, systematically exterminating millions of civilians & prisoners of war.
🔴 From June 23 to 28, 1944, Soviet Army began an offensive along the front line from Polotsk to Mozyr. It was carried out simultaneously in six sectors.
🔴 Red Army units successfully broke through the German defences and began rapid advances. By July 3, Minsk and Vitebsk were liberated.
🔴 By the end of July, almost all of Belarus was liberated.
⚔️ Several large German groups were surrounded and destroyed: Vitebsk & Bobruisk, then Orsha & Mogilev troops, causing enormous irreparable losses to the enemy.
☝️ As a result of the operation, Army Group Centre was defeated, major rivers Berezina, Neman, & Vistula were crossed, and important bridgeheads on their western banks were captured. The front line moved westwards up to 550–600 km.
🎖 Soviet soldiers and commanders who took part in the operation demonstrated mass heroism, brilliant preparation, & the highest level of military art. Over 1,500 Red Army soldiers of various nationalities were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and hundreds of thousands received orders and medals.

Today at 12.15, a terrorist missile strike by five U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles equipped by cluster warheads was deliberately delivered at Sevastopol.
The alerted air defence units intercepted four U.S.-made ATACMS missiles. The explosion of the fragmentation warhead of the fifth U.S.-made missile in the air led to high number of casualties among peaceful residents of Sevastopol.
The American specialists input all flight tasks in the U.S.-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles on the basis of data of the U.S. satellite reconnaissance.
That is why Washington is mostly responsible for the deliberate missile strike at peaceful residents of Sevastopol by delivering this weaponry to Ukraine, as well as the Kiev regime, from the territory of which the strike was launched.
Such actions are not going to be left unanswered.

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
Following the terrorist attack perpetrated by the Kiev regime aimed at civilians in Sevastopol, the UN Secretariat responded by stating the following: “As always we aspire to putting an end to war in line with the UN Charter and the resolutions of the General Assembly.”
This sounds more as a confession of one’s uselessness, rather than a comment on a tragedy. Basically, they could have just said “we stand for everything good and oppose everything bad” once and for all and use this phrasing regardless of the matter in question.
It would have been a different matter if the UN Secretariat fulfilled its technical functions without getting into politics. It is totally the opposite! For many years all statements and actions of the Secretariat regarding Ukraine have been totally politicised and without exception of anti-Russian nature.
Since you started playing on the political field, would you be so kind as to notice civilians on a beach being targeted & murdered by the Kiev regime using US weapons, and condemn this act of terrorism?!

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Kiev regime’s recurrent terrorist attacks on Energodar
💬 On June 19 and 21 the Kiev regime launched new terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles against Energodar satellite city in the vicinity of Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant (ZNPP) where its personnel and their families live.
☝️ This is not for the first time that the Zelensky’s regime vividly demonstrates its terrorist nature and complete disregard of peaceful nuclear facilities’ safety <...>.
Since the ZNPP was reunited with the Russian nuclear family, our country has been exerting much effort to create not only proper work conditions for the plant’s personnel but to raise the socio-economic level of life in Energodar and restore the relevant infrastructure. We do everything necessary to ensure that the people who live there have everything they need and are protected against criminal provocations by the Kiev junta.
In addition to the physical threat created by regular shelling, the ZNPP personnel and their families, including children, are subject to constant psychological pressure. They receive letters from Ukrainian special services containing threats to their lives and health. It seems that the Kiev regime is not going to abandon its policy of threats and emotionally draining blackmail against the ZNPP staff.
The systemic nature of the Kiev regime’s attacks both on the ZNPP and other Russian power engineering facilities shows an established and purposeful trend of inflicting an inacceptable damage to the Russian Federation economy and creating risks of technogenic accidents that may jeopardise nuclear safety on the entire European continent.
This way the Kiev regime continues to prove its terrorist nature.
❗️ Considering the inability of the Zelensky’s regime to negotiate, our country will take all necessary measures to make it impossible for it to deliver such strikes.

⚡️ Statement by FMs of Member States of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation on the situation in the Middle East and North Africa
Key points:
✍️ We, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Tajikistan:
• Express concern with the persistence of a number of seats of instability in the Middle East and North Africa, where the situation is characterised by the lack of proper regulation of armed conflicts and consolidation of negative trends in the economy
• We are in favour of dealing with all the existing internal and interstate conflicts and differences in the Middle East and North Africa by diplomatic methods via a political dialogue and with support from the UN and the key regional organisations and in full conformity with the basic norms of international law.
• We are expressing profound concern with the current escalation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We condemn the killing of dozens of thousand civilians, and call for an immediate end to combat operations.
• We reaffirm the conviction that it is possible to stabilise the situation solely by finding a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian problem on the well-known international legal basis that includes the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, as well as the Arab Peace Initiative, and implies the creation of a Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders with the capital in East Jerusalem.
• We reaffirm our steadfast and invariable commitment to sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic and condemn any actions posing a threat thereto. We underscore the need for the cessation of any foreign military presence in that country, which violates international law.
• We note the importance of putting an immediate end to the armed confrontation in the Sudan. We express conviction that any differences should be settled at the negotiating table.

#Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg soured Zelensky’s mood by saying that Ukraine would only join NATO after it secured victory over Russia.
The Alliance clearly understands – both collectively and personally, just as Jens Stoltenberg does – that this will not come about, that Russia won’t be defeated. In other words, Kiev’s perennial efforts to join NATO have cost Ukraine its life.
Mr Stoltenberg will never admit this. But then, a day may come when their cynicism, Russophobia and disdainful attitude not only to Ukraine but also to all Slavic nations will force them to admit this. One day they will admit why they began this gamble.
#Sanctions
Today any country can lose its sovereign assets kept in the West if the United States and its client countries become displeased with that country’s domestic or foreign policy for any reason. Everyone can see that Washington, Brussels, London and their associates are expanding restrictions under far-fetched pretexts. <...>
Not surprisingly, Western currencies and reserve instruments are becoming increasingly toxic, and Western economies are rapidly losing their competitiveness and attraction for foreign assets. <...>
It is the price they will pay for stealing others’ assets, for geopolitical scheming and harassment, for interfering in others’ affairs with the use of illegal instruments, such as sanctions.

The official ceremony involved combined regiments from all fronts, the Navy, military academies and schools, as well as units of the Moscow Garrison.
🕙 The parade began at 10 am sharp and lasted for over two hours. Marshal of the Soviet Union Konstantin Rokossovsky commanded the parade, with Deputy Supreme Commander in Chief – Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov taking the parade.
In all, 12 combined regiments were deployed ahead of this history-making event. Each regiment consisted of over 1'000 most distinguished service personnel, including Heroes of the Soviet Union and holders of the Order of Glory.
As the Kremlin Chimes started ringing, Marshal Georgy Zhukov exited the Spasskaya Tower Gate, riding a white horse. Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky sitting on a black horse approached him and reported that everything was ready for the parade.
At the same time, a brass band comprising 1'400 musicians deployed in the square’s central section and performed the patriotic song Glory to You, My Russia by Mikhail Glinka. The marshals inspected the troops and greeted the participants. After that, Marshal Zhukov mounted the rostrum of the Lenin Mausoleum and delivered an official speech.
On June 24, 1945, about 40'000 service personnel marched through Red Square, and about 1'850 pieces of military equipment rolled past. At the end of the parade, 200 banners of defeated German forces were thrown to the ground in front of the Lenin Mausoleum.
The parade ended at noon to the sounds of a march played by a combined brass band of the Moscow Garrison. In all, the parade involved 24 marshals, 249 generals, 2'536 other officers, as well as 31'116 sergeants and soldiers.

❗️ Foreign Ministry statement on the terrorist attack at Sevastopol
On June 23, the Kiev regime, with support from the US and its satellites, committed yet another heinous terrorist crime against civilians in Russia by firing missiles at Sevastopol. For their terrorist attack, they specially chose a day – Holy Trinity Sunday – one of the most important holidays celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church.
◼️ Four people were killed, including a two-year-old boy, who was playing on the municipal beach, and a nine-year-old girl. 151 people applied for medical assistance; 82 – 55 adults and 27 children – were hospitalised, many of them in a grave condition. All patients are receiving skilled medical aid.
According to the Defence Ministry of Russia, the attackers used US ATACMS operational missiles with cluster warheads for greater kill ability. All flight data was entered by US military crews based on US reconnaissance satellite inputs. A Global Hawk US reconnaissance drone was on duty off Crimea.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has promptly started an investigation into this crime. All those implicated in this and other terrorist attacks in the territory of the Russian Federation will incur inevitable punishment.
There is no doubt that the United States is involved in this ominous crime. <...> A response to this crime will inevitably follow.
☝️ The Western capitals continue to criminally hush up the Zelensky regime’s barbarous actions. There are no denouncements from international organisations either. The Russian Federation is again urging them to give a proper assessment to yet another outrage perpetrated by the Kiev regime and the West.
Russia expresses its sincere gratitude for the condolences conveyed by officials from friendly states and by members of the European and US public. The words of commiseration continue to come in.
🕯 We commiserate with Sevastopol, where a day of mourning has been announced today. We express condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish an early recovery to the wounded.

🗓 On June 24, US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where she was presented with a demarche in connection with a new bloody crime committed by the Kiev regime, patronised and armed by Washington, which launched a well-targeted missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol that led to numerous casualties, including among children.
It was stressed that the US was conducting a hybrid war against Russia and supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the most advanced weapons, including ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads used against Sevastopol residents, which actually made the US a party to the conflict. Moreover, the targeting and flight data entry is performed by US military crews and therefore the US shares equal responsibility with the Kiev regime for this outrage.
❗️ The ambassador was told that Washington’s actions of this sort, including its permission to fire at targets in the Russian hinterland, actions that were aimed at encouraging the pro-Nazi authorities in Ukraine to continue hostilities “until the last Ukrainian,” would not be left unpunished.
Retaliatory measures are certain to follow.
