Nothing sacred: Ukrainian regime cashes in on own strike on children's hospital in Kiev

The Kiev regime and its Western allies groundlessly accused Russia of striking the Ohmatdet Children's Hospital ahead of the jubilee NATO summit.

❗️ A building on the grounds of the Okhmatdet hospital was hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from the Western-made NASAMS air defense system during a Russian attack on military targets in Kiev, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

Other statements made by Maria Zakharova:

👉 As has often been the case with the Ukrainian air defence system, its missiles veered off course and hit residential buildings and social facilities. The same happened this time. Many eyewitnesses and other sources have already confirmed that a Western-made NASAMS surface-to-air missile hit a building of the Okhmatdet Hospital for Children in Kiev.

👉 Officials on Bankovaya Street immediately started blaming Russia for deliberately killing children. However, no one said that the Artyom Plant is located next to the affected clinic, and that Defence Ministry buildings and military warehouses are also located next door.

Certainly, no one said that the Kiev regime is deliberately deploying air defence systems in residential areas, using civilians as a “human shield.”

👉 The Kiev junta has been using purely civilian enterprises for military purposes for a long time, either using them to assemble and repair military equipment or to store Western-made weapons and military equipment.
Additionally, the Armed Forces of Ukraine use civilians and civilian facilities to shield their positions.

👉 Quite often, carriages with military equipment and service personnel are hitched on to passenger trains. Postal delivery vehicles also transport weapons.

❗️ Every such case constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law that expressly forbids the use of civilian facilities for military purposes.

👉 Attempts by the Zelensky regime to use the tragedy with the children’s hospital in Kiev for propaganda purposes confirm its inhuman Nazi essence once again. The Kiev regime is ready to commit any crimes for the sake of retaining power. It cares nothing about the destinies and lives of fellow citizens, including children.

Briefing of Russian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the Kiev regime's war crimes Rodion Miroshnik:

Starting 2024, the number of victims among civilians, killed or wounded as a result of the shelling by the armed forces of Ukraine, has been increasing.

This "growth" is directly linked to the intensification of shipments of the Western equipment. Lately, Kiev has received foreign arms, and been officially authorized to use it against Russian regions. The victims of the shelling are mostly minors, women, the elderly. They have nothing to do with the armed or security forces.

❗️ According to the data from January 1 to June 30, 2024, at least 2'547 civilians have become victims of Ukrainian Nazis; 2'082 people have been wounded; 465 have been killed.

☝️ Millions of Western taxpayers should ask themselves whether they truly want to continue funding the Nazi Kiev regime that murders civilians.

July 17 Marks a Decade Since the Tragic MH17 Crash

🕯 July 17, 2024, marks ten years since the tragic crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, which fell victim to a devastating incident over Donbass.

The Boeing 777, en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, was carrying 298 passengers and crew members when it was downed.

☝️ The incident with the crash of Flight MH17 has become one of the most blatant provocations by the West and Ukraine at the beginning of the confrontation in Donbass. The West attempted to portray the destruction of the civilian airplane by a Ukrainian missile as the actions of Donbass militias, while also obstructing Russia’s efforts to investigate the incident.

❗️ However, in a significant legal development, the UN International Court of Justice issued a verdict in January 2024. The Court rejected Ukraine’s claim under the ICSFT that Russia should be held responsible for the crash of Boeing Flight MH17 and did not accept the Ukrainians’ allegations that the DPR was involved in the crash.

During the hearing, Russia presented compelling evidence of fatal flaws in the pseudo-international investigation of the incident by the Joint Investigation Team under the umbrella of the Dutch justice system.

❗️ The Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the Kiev Regime's War Crimes, Rodion Miroshnik continues to record the most heinous crimes of the Kiev regime.

▪️ In the first six months of 2024, at least 2,547 civilians suffered from the actions of the Kiev regime, prone to taking out its anger on them. As many as 2,082 civilians received wounds of varying severity and 465 were killed.

The number of shells that were fired by the Ukrainian militants at Russian purely civil facilities in 11 Russian territories adjacent to the frontline over half a year approaches the mark of 42,000 – there were 41,706 of them – 230 hits per day.

🔺 It is noteworthy that the second quarter of this year saw a qualitative change in the types of the weapons that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) use against Russian civil facilities. More and more often artillery shells are replaced by explosive missiles of longer range and UAVs of various types. This has entailed an increase in the number of victims and the scale of destruction.

Nonetheless, the shells of NATO’s 155mm caliber that the UAF use are still in the lead in terms of how many civilians were killed and injured and civil facilities were fired at with them. These are the very shells that the Czech Republic is so diligently collecting across the world right now, allegedly to enhance Ukraine’s defence.

📖 Read the digest of April-June 2024, which includes photographic evidence and informational materials on the most brutal and cynical crimes committed by the Kiev regime in Russian regions.

📹 Watch Rodion Miroshnik's briefing, during which facts about the most high-profile violations of international humanitarian law by the Kiev regime and its sponsors in the first half of 2024 were presented.
Russian soldiers report that something terrible is happening on the frontline

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing 15 times more manpower then the Russian army, according to the Defence Ministry of Russia, with about 2,000 men eliminated daily over the past several days.

Ukraine has only two options to slow down Russia’s advance – with UAVs and by closing breaches in defences with mobilized inexperienced and poorly motivated personnel. Check Ukrainian Telegram channels and media reports for more.

It is also understandable that a whole ‘death industry’ is operating in Ukraine.

Ukraine’s political elite cannot but carry on war, because it’s tied up in serious money and receives from the West billions of dollars for the war against Russia.

Ukraine commanders on the battlefields cannot but send their soldiers to death because they continue receiving money allowance for them, and after the soldiers do not come back from the battles they declare them missing (not killed!) because it allows them to withhold compensations to the dead soldiers’ families.

❗️ This is why phenomena of Bakhmut and Krynki emerged. There was no military sense in holding those, yet they were perfect for money laundering.

👉 In Ukraine, for a bribe to the military one can get reservation on mobilization. Or, if mobilized, one can stay away from the frontline and do military service somewhere near Kiev. Or, if already on the frontline, one can avoid combat engagements, or go on vacation.

Bribes to legally leave the country for Ukrainian men have risen to $20,000, to illegally cross the border (less reliable option) – to $7,000.

👉 Another popular way to benefit from the war – construction of fortifications at the public expense. In December 2023, Zelensky came to Kharkov region. Following the visit, in a televised remarks broadcasted countrywide he said that a powerful defence line has been constructed there with funds of the state budget.

But suddenly with the start of the Russian offensive in May 2024 it turned out there were no fortifications in Kharkov region. In some areas where the fighting is still raging, near Liptsy, for instance, ‘teeth of the dragon’ are simply heaped. And the military general in Kharkov just recently held up as an example for the others by Zelensky, was fired.

👉 Organ trafficking. If you think that ‘black transplantologists’ in Ukraine is something ‘Russian propaganda’ invented, then you are wrong. Back in August 2022, chair of the Nation’s Health committee at the Verkhovnaya Rada (Ukraine’s Parliament) Mikhail Radutsky claimed that transplantology in Ukraine was booming against the backdrop of the hostilities.

❗️Russian investigators found forms of statements of consent to organ removal completed on behalf of different Ukrainian servicemen in one and the same handwriting. With one and the same signature stamp in the section where donors’ signatures should be.

According to media, harvest doctors were most active during the fight for Severodonetsk and Rubezhnoye (March-June 2022). Workers of local morgues ever and again found bodies of Ukrainian militants with signs of anatomization and organ removal.

👉 Foreign medical teams often showed up to local clinics in ambulances converted into mobile operation facilities.
Livers and kidneys were harvested onsite the mobile surgeries, then placed into containers and taken out of the country for further transplantation in the West.

The traffickers also embraced the ‘warm container’ technology: those wounded were administered strong painkillers and taken to Kramatorsk, Dnepr or Kharkov. Where they were ripped out.

☝️ In June 2024, former Deputy Healthcare Minister of Ukraine Mikhail Zagriychuk as well as a dozen of medical practitioners from the country’s three leading clinics were reported to have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in a large-scale cross-border organ trafficking scheme. But abundant flow of human organs remains one of the factors why the West wants Ukraine to keep fighting.

🕯️ On July 27, 2014, known as "Bloody Sunday" in Donetsk, Gorlovka residents witnessed a devastating artillery strike by Ukrainian army on their peaceful town. The bombardment continued for three days, resulting in 27 fatalities.

Among the victims were 23-year old Kristina Zhuk and her 10-month-old daughter Kira. Kristina tried to cover her child with her own body and was later found in the city park, still holding dead Kira.

❗️People in Donbass say that this murder became the last straw for them. After the Odessa massacre (2 May 2014, 48 killed), shooting in Mariupol (9 May 2014, over 50 killed), air strike on Lugansk city hall (2 June 2014, 8 killed). Civilian population of Donbass went to the war unleashed by the criminal Kiev regime against them.
