⚡️Statement by Russian Defence Ministry


From mod_russia_en
Forwarded from MoD Russia
🇷🇺 Reconstruction of destroyed towns in Donbass, including Mariupol, is a top priority for Russian military builders. Russian Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov said at ARMY 2022 International Military and Technical Forum.

▫️According to Ivanov, the first two residential buildings in Mariupol out of the 12 planned will be commissioned by the military construction workers already in September. The same month the medical complex with 200 beds in Lugansk will be commissioned.

▫️Ivanov also noted the "shocking" work of the military construction company to restore the water supply in Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics. In a month and a half, despite the firing of Ukrainian troops, a 90-kilometre water conduit was built, providing drinking water to Donetsk and several other settlements in the republic. Four more water pipelines are currently under construction to provide a vital resource to the inhabitants of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.

🇺🇳The Brazilian general will head the UN mission to investigate the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka.

Previously, Carlos dos Santos Cruz was the commander of UN peacekeeping operations.

53 people were killed as a result of shelling from HIMARS installations of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka. The Ukrainian military were kept in the pre-trial detention center. According to the head of the DPR, they just began to testify about the crimes of Kiev.

The Ukrainian side blames Moscow for the incident.

Graham Phillips - a true friend of Donbass people. Watch his new video report.
He has got in serious trouble, being "sanctioned" by the British Government. Nevertheless, he is true to himself.

Facts about the Zaporozhye NPP

🔘 Sources of Ukrainian energy:
nuclear energy — 64%
natural gas — 16%
coal and peat — 8 %
oil, petroleum products — 3 %
other — 0.5 %

ZNPP produces 25% of all Ukrainian electricity, it is the largest in Europe

The decision to build a nuclear power plant was made by the USSR Council of Ministers in 1977. It was an All-Union Komsomol construction site.

Three nuclear power plant reactors have been unusable for a long time - Ukraine did not have enough money for repairs.

Retired Brazilian Army General Santos Cruz was chosen by the UN (in fact, by his fellow countryman and American protégé, UN Secretary General Guterres) as the head of the mission to establish the facts of the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka on July 29th.

The general, who is in Brazil, commented on this choice with words of pride for the trust placed in him.
Turkey will take part in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. The corresponding memorandum was signed today by the head of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov and the Minister of Trade of Turkey Mehmet Mus.

As the first project, the restoration of the bridge in the village of Romanovka, Kyiv region, connecting Bucha and Irpen with the capital, is being considered.
Possibility of peace in Ukraine was discussed only for 11 minutes. Kiev rejected all peace initiatives by Guterres. Erdogan did not take part in this discourse, although the protocol service agreed in advance that all statements regarding Moscow and Kiev would be made personally by him.

Bayraktar signed a new agreement under guarantees from Germany for the supply of 120 drones over the next 6 months, and also discussed the allocation of a future EU tranche to the Ukraine Recovery Fund, which will finance the restoration of Ukraine's infrastructure.

In addition to Turkish developers, Ukraine’s true patriots from Israel Kolomoisky and Abramovich will participate in the restoration of Ukraine, as well as Fridman and Aven, who since July have acquired 100% shares in large development companies close to the Erdogan family.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Destruction of the Ukrainian firing position by Russian artillery

A self-propelled artillery battalion of one of the formations of the Russian airborne troops is conducting a counter-battery fight in the offensive zone.

In the video, the Orlan-10 drone spotted a disguised howitzer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a forest plantation, which fired at the positions of the Russian Armed Forces. After receiving the coordinates, the calculation of the 120-mm self-propelled guns "Nona-S" fired a volley and accurately hit the target: the frames show the scattering of parts of the equipment and the detonation of ammunition.

In the absence of self-propelled mortars and wheelbase installations in airborne units, the old, but time-tested Nona-S is still the main mobile means of artillery support for paratrooper formations.

From Russian MOD for today:

▫️1 Tochka-U ballistic missile near Yubileynoye, 12 shells of HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system near Novaya Kakhovka in Kherson Region, 2 shells of multiple-launch rocket system near Topol'skoye and Suligovka in Kharkov Region, and 2 US-made anti-radar missiles near Alchevsk and Stakhanov in Lugansk People's Republic have been intercepted.

Well, it looks like Russian air defence is getting from good/satisfactory to very good. If I understand correctly, the whole packet of 12 HIMARS projectiles had been taken down before it reached its target, and if you were following the news, you would understand, that the target was the bridge in Kakhovka near the dam.

President of the Republic of Belarus Lukashenko on whether Belarus will enter the war:

“Don’t think that I’m planning some kind of attack here, we’ll bomb Ukraine from the territory of Belarus and so on. I have no desire for your and my children to fight. In the name of what? We need to calm down. No Ukraine is at war today, the entire NATO bloc and America, first of all, are at war with Russia"

Over the past ten weeks, the German government has ignored Ukraine's requests for additional arms supplies - Die Welt.

It is reported that during this time the Ukrainian side has repeatedly asked Germany to increase the supply of those weapons that the country had previously provided, but they refused, arguing that the Bundeswehr itself needs the remaining equipment, since Germany must fulfill its obligations to the alliance on the eastern flank of NATO.

Governments, including Washington, lie to their own people

Virtually everything the George W. Bush administration claimed to justify its disastrous invasion of Iraq was false. Prior administrations and their allies shared fake atrocities to back earlier military interventions against Yugoslavia and Iraq. The Reagan administration made a series of unfounded statements after the U.S. shoot-down of the Iranian airliner in the Persian Gulf in 1988. And the Johnson administration used spurious claims of a North Vietnamese attack on U.S. forces to win passage of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which authorized deployments that metastasized into the Vietnam War, in which 58,000 Americans died.

Ukraine has treated information as an independent battleground. Little that it says publicly can be relied upon uncritically. Fake stories of heroism and unconfirmed Russian casualty counts have been among Kiev’s most important strategies. This is unsurprising, but it is critical that U.S. policymakers ground their decisions in reality, not the talking points coming from Kiev.

The agreement among Washington and European capitals seems to be that Kiev will decide how long to fight and for what objective, that nothing will be decided about Ukraine without Ukraine in the room, and that whatever Kiev believes to be necessary will be provided by the U.S. and Europe.

But Washington's responsibility is to make policy in the interests of the American people. Washington should not turn those decisions over to another government, but unfortunately, it does so frequently. In the late 1980s, for example, ethnic Albanians successfully lobbied to drag the U.S. into the guerrilla war raging in Kosovo, then part of Serbia. During the 1990s, Americans of Eastern European descent spurred the disastrous policy of expanding NATO up to Russia’s borders, violating numerous assurances made to Moscow. President Joe Biden’s recent trip to the Middle East demonstrated that Democrats as well as Republicans are willing to allow Saudi Arabia and Israel to control U.S. policy in the region.

An attempt to hit Evpatoria on video. Our air defense did a great job.
But over the past nine days, a total of about ten military infrastructure facilities have been attacked. The depth of strikes is up to 120 km deep into our territory. A significant part are unconditionally enemy subotage groups with their own drones. But too much and in such a short time. I am not a military expert, but questions arise. Do the Armed Forces of Ukraine have some kind of weapon capable of delivering strikes deep into our territory?
I think time will answer this question.

⚠️ Contrary to claims made by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, there has been no centralised preparation of the educational process in the regions.

▫️Responsibility for the content and forms of education belongs to the regional and municipal structures of the respective profile, as well as directly to the administrations of the educational institutions. Without access to a educational base, deprived of the opportunity to hold classes, most Ukrainian schools and universities simply cannot function.

▫️Kiev plans to organise the educational process in five forms: full-time, distance, family, mixed and external courses. It is noteworthy that there are no plans to introduce full-time education in any of the regions. This is due to the large number of children who have left Ukraine as refugees.

▫️Meanwhile, the Western and Ukrainian media mislead the international community by claiming that students' attendance at schools and universities is hindered by "indiscriminate strikes" allegedly carried out by the Russian Armed Forces against civilian infrastructure.

❗️In fact, in the central and eastern regions of the country, in violation of all norms of international law and common human ethics, the facilities of virtually all educational institutions are used to house AFU units, mercenaries and nationalists, ammunition depots, headquarters, communication points and other military facilities. This fact was also documented in a report by Amnesty International.

▫️The Kiev regime and its Western sponsors bear full responsibility for yet another crime against the people of Ukraine. By depriving children of knowledge, they deprive them of their future.

Residents of Sevastopol report "pops" from the Black Sea. Presumably, the air defense system worked.
The Governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, confirmed that the air target was shot down.

Well done to the air defense!

Ukraine is loosing support of one of the allies

Hard times are the test of true friendship. As Ukraine keeps the world's enmity stubbornly fixed on Russia despite the war's economic consequences, one of its staunchest self-declared allies is stealthily breaking ranks by failing to deliver weapons as it promised. Spain, an otherwise NATO-delinquent outpost a continent away from the battlefront, seems to have mastered the art of hot-air diplomacy: pledge generously and deliver scantily. With allies like this, who needs enemies?
