❗️"Another provocation for the picture," - Eduard Basurin, a representative of the DPR People's Militia, described the strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Kramatorsk.
⚡️⚡️DPR Foreign Minister: there are no legal grounds for extending the OSCE SMM activities on the DPR territory

At a press conference with the participation of foreign media, Natalia Nikonorova spoke about position of the Republic regarding activities of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission:

“The DPR Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a draft resolution to the State Defense Committee on the recognition of the unlawful further activities of the OSCE SMM on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic. We expect this decision to be adopted in the near future."

The Minister spoke about the background of such a decision, in particular about the vagueness of the mission status from March 31, 2022:

“On March 31, a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council was held, at which the participating countries of this organization did not reach a consensus on the future fate of the OSCE SMM. This means that its further activities no longer comply with the organization's statutory documents and have no legal basis. The OSCE SMM explained continuation of the stay on the DPR territory and the fact that no attempts were made to wind down the mission with some vague arguments about the administrative status of the OSCE field operation. But no such status is provided by the organization’s documents.”

Natalia Nikonorova also said that one of the OSCE the local employees of the OSCE SMM was detained by the DPR law enforcement agencies and pre-investigation measures are currently being carried out in connection with illegal acts carried out on the DPR territory.

⚡️Statement by Russian Defence Ministry

▫️In order to accuse Russia of an alleged missile strike on Kramatorsk railway station, Kiev regime has posted on social media pictures of Tochka-U missile launchers that took part in "Union Courage 2022" Russian-Belarusian exercise inFebruary.

▫️Please note, all photos published by Kiev from "Union Courage 2022" exercise show non-Russian missile systems.

▫️Tochka-U tactical missiles whose wreckage was found near Kramatorsk railway station are used only by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

▫️According to clarified information, the strike on Kramatorsk railway station was carried out by missile division of the Ukrainian armed forces from area of Dobropol’e, 45 kilometres south-west of the city.

▫️The aim of Kiev regime's strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk was to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a "human shield" to defend Ukrainian armed forces positions, as in many other Ukrainian population centres.

❗️Natalia Nikonorova: today's shelling of Kramatorsk by the AFU is monstrous

During a press conference with the participation of republican, Russian and foreign media, the DPR Minister of Foreign Affairs commented on shelling of Kramatorsk with Tochka-U:

“This is a monstrous tragedy, another bloody provocation by Ukrainian army. Unfortunately, we have already seen such provocations. On March 14, the center of Donetsk was shelled in the same egregious, barbaric manner as Kramatorsk today.”

Natalia Nikonorova expressed condolences to families and friends of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the wounded ones. She also expressed confidence that soon residents of the DPR occupied territories will be liberated by forces of the Republic and Russia:

“Compatriots, hold on. We will do our best to stop Kiev's crimes against Donbass as soon as possible and achieve our goals of liberating the Republic and demilitarizing Ukraine."
🤝The expression "polite people" is perfect for describtion of the communication style of the Russian Armed Forces with Ukraine’s inhabitants - Natalia Nikonorova

Natalia Nikonorova answered the question of journalists about the attitude of Ukrainian inhabitants towards the Russian military present during the special operation:

“On the territory of Ukraine, where the Russian military entered during the special operation, I was personally on a humanitarian mission. This mission was in great demand: all the Ukrainian local authorities abandoned people, the population of these regions turned out to be face-to-face with situation. No one bothered either about the evacuation or food security of these people.

Accordingly, it was necessary to provide assistance. I personally saw the attitude of both the Russian Armed Forces and everyone who visited this territory on behalf of the Russian Federation. The expression "polite people" is perfect to describe their communication style with the locals.

Therefore, it is unimaginable that the fake spread by Ukrainian authorities on events in Bucha has any relation to reality. Moreover, it was already completely exposed and debunked.
⚡️🛳 Natalia Nikonorova stated about the blockade of foreign ships in Mariupol

“As far as we know in the basin of Mariupol there are currently 6 foreign ships containing foreign nationals on board from such countries as Bulgaria, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Liberia, Azerbaijan.

They are unable to leave the port for fears of coming under fire from the Ukrainian troops or hitting sea mines that were possibly planted in the basin even before the launch of the operation,”
said the Minister during the press conference today.

The Minister also pointed out that there have been numerous attempts to urge Ukrainian side to facilitate the evacuation of foreign ships and foreign citizens but no reply has been received.

❗️MFA Head called on the world community and those countries whose citizen remain in the port of Mariupol to exert pressure on Ukraine to take action and secure immediate evacuation of the ships.

There are no hurdles from the DPR’s side compromising the evacuation efforts. It has to be carried out as soon as possible in order to prevent any other provocations by Kiev. Today’s horrifying missile attack on Kramatorsk, the “Tochka-U” strike of the center on Donetsk, and the alleged Bucha massacre - all serve as a demonstration that the agonizing Ukrainian regime is willing to commit bloody crimes not only against the Donbass population, but also foreign citizen.
🇷🇺🌎The candidacy of the DPR Ambassador to the Russian Federation has been determined, and the recognizing the Republic abroad may accelerate - Natalia Nikonorova

📸During a press conference, the head of the DPR Foreign Ministry said that a request for an agrement of the ambassador candidacy had already been sent to the Russian Federation :

“We will definitely let you know when we receive a response to our request. Active preparations for embassy opening are underway, ​​we hope that this event will happen within a month.”

🗺Regarding the recognition of the DPR by other countries, the Minister noted:

“The work of the DPR Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the international recognition of our state has been carried out constantly and systematically for all 8 years. Previously, there were deterrents in the form of Minsk agreements. Accordingly, representatives of states expressed some doubts about possibility of recognizing the DPR. But since now the political and legal reality has changed, we hope that the establishing official contacts with other countries will go faster. We have grounds for such hope.”
🇷🇺Natalia Nikonorova: Donbass has always been Russian!

To the question of a Greek journalist about who the Minister considers herself to be - Russian or Ukrainian, Natalia Nikonorova answered:

Donbass has always been Russian. A lot on this topic was said by Russian President Vladimir Putin, in particular, that the Ukrainian SSR was a specially created state.

Another thing is that until 2014, we in Donbass did not feel any problems with the issue of nationality - everyone lived in peace, tranquility, got along well with each other, because Donbass is a multinational region.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic noted that in 2014, when Ukrainianization was forcibly imposed to the region, and all Russians and Russian-speakers were oppressed on a national basis, its inhabitants unambiguously declared that Donbass is Russian.
❗️Fact-checking analysis by the DPR Representatives in the Joint Center for Control And Coordination on today`s Kramatorsk events

Today, at about 10:30 am, in the temporarily occupied Kramatorsk, armed formations of Ukraine launched a targeted attack on the railway station, where residents are being actively evacuated. As a result of this terrorist act, mass casualties are recorded.

Military experts and analysts of the DPR JCCC conducted a comparative analysis of all the facts available in open sources, the results of which show the obviousness of the planned bloody provocation of the Kiev regime.

As is known, at first, official Ukrainian speakers announced a missile attack on the Kramatorsk railway, allegedly by the Iskander OTRK, which are in service with the RF Armed Forces.

After realizing that the photo from the scene of the tragedy clearly showed the remains of Tochka-U OTRK, Zelensky "corrected himself" and clarified that the Russian Armed Forces had allegedly used Tochka-U.

"In confirmation" of Zelensky's statement, the Center for Special Information and Psychological Operations (CSIPO) of the armed formations of Ukraine distributed on the Internet a photo of Tochka-U launchers from the Russian-Belarusian military exercises Allied Resolve 2022 in February 2022.

Fact one
The nature of the “feathering” of the missile, recorded in publicly available photographs, indicates that the strike was carried out precisely using the Tochka-U OTRK with a cluster warhead.

Fact two
The Tochka-U OTRK is not used by the RF Armed Forces: all missile units were successfully and completely re-equipped with Iskander-M missiles in November 2019.

Fact three
The Ukrainian CSIPO forgot that, in addition to the RF Armed Forces, the current operator of the Tochka-U OTRK took part in these exercises.

The last two facts are confirmed by the Military Balance Annual Bulletin with an overview of the military potentials of the states of the world (published in English by the International Institute for Strategic Studies since 1959), which in its review at the beginning of 2022 does not indicate the RF Armed Forces as an operator of this complex.

The particularly cynical nature of this planned bloody action is emphasized by the frankly provocative inscription on the missile - "For Children", from those who have for 8 years purposefully killed children of Donbass, used them as human shields in Volnovakha, Mariupol, Kharkov, shelled maternity hospitals, schools and kindergartens.

A little less than a month ago, on March 14, our capital experienced a tragedy from the same AFU missile attack on the city center: 22 civilians were killed and 37 civilians were wounded.

We mourn together with the relatives of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to all our fellow countrymen who were victims of another war crime of the AFU against their people.

It is obvious that the purpose of this bloody action is to blame the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic at the cost of people’s lives, creating the “right picture” for the world community.

We will not tire of calling for analyzing information and drawing conclusions based on obvious facts, instead of accepting false Ukrainian propaganda on faith.

❗️“Ukraine is being defeated. And this is exactly what we saw all during the Syrian conflict. They carry out an attack on civilian population and call for intervention,” Brian Berletic, a geopolitical analyst and former US Marine Corps soldier, said of the incident in Kramatorsk.

“Ukraine is being defeated. And this is exactly what we saw all during the Syrian conflict, when the US, British and EU sponsored terrorists were being routed they would pull something like this.

They would carry out an attack on civilian population, they would say Syrian government did it. And then they would call for intervention, they would call for more sanctions.

That is what they did throughout the entire conflict until they completely lost. And this is what we are going to see here in Ukraine.”

❗️Ukrainian nationalists in Mariupol: If we retreat, we will wipe the city off.

A resident of liberated Mariupol said that nationalists never cared about civilians:

“In 2014, when I worked at the hospital attendance, a woman came to us. We barely reduced her blood pressure. She came red as a beet. We asked: “What happened”?
She said: “I was receiving a pension at counter, three healthy men came in.”
You know, old people want to do everything in a friendly way.
“Well, boys, take what you need no waiting in line, the line is too long. You are our defenders.”

They [Ukrainian nationalists] took the money, one turned around and said: “Who told you that we came to protect you? We have come to make forcemeat of you.”

🇬🇷A rally against Zelensky's speech in front of parliament took place in Greece

On Saturday, April 9, a demonstration was held in Athens in support of the residents of Russia and Donbass, as well as against Zelensky's provocative speech in front of the Greek Parliament. One of the organizers was the Head of the DPR Representative office in Greece Andreas Zafeiris.

Participants expressed protest against NATO policy, as well as their unwillingness to be in the military bloc and to provide assistance to Ukraine in the form of weapons.

Demonstrators in particular opposed Zelensky’s speech (on April 7) to the Greek parliament, in which the Kiev regime leader, in addition to other lies and fakes, included a video message from Azov national battalion fighters in his online performance. The Nazis’ speech on Greek Parliament platform caused a great resonance both among parliamentarians and Greek society. Thus, the secretary of the Greek opposition party "SYRIZA - Progressive Alliance" called the speech of Azov soldiers in the parliament unacceptable.

On the day of Zelensky’s speech, the DPR Minister of Foreign Affairs Natalia Nikonorova called on the Greek people. In her speech, she urged not to believe the lies spread by the Ukrainian regime and invited foreign media to Donbass for objective coverage of current events.
