‼️Extracts from the statement of the Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On the continuing crimes of Ukraine
supported by a number of OSCE participating States”(OSCE Permanent Council meeting, 31 March 2022):

🔸The Council of the European Union nevertheless approved last week the allocation to Kiev for military needs of another 500 million euros from the European Peace Fund. In fact, this is an investment in the militarization of 🇺🇦 Ukraine. The West does not want a peaceful scenario for resolving the crisis in Ukraine?

🔸Old sea mines 🇺🇦 set by Ukraine are drifting across the Black Sea - a huge ⚠️ danger to navigation and coastal cities

🔸Ukrainian 🇺🇦 embassies abroad continue to recruit foreign citizens to participate in hostilities. This is a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which prohibits the use of diplomatic missions for such purposes.

🔸Armed formations of 🇺🇦 Ukrainian nationalists continue to neglect the lives of civilians, use them as a “human shield”, torture and abuse those who remained in the territories under their control.

🔸In Ukraine 🇺🇦 reprisals against dissidents continue. V. Zelensky approved the decision of the National Security and Defense Council, under far-fetched pretexts, blocking the activities of 11 political parties. Is this how the legitimacy of the decisions of the Verkhovna Rada is strengthened?

🔸A blatant situation has developed around the UOC. On March 26, a bill was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada 🇺🇦 banning the activities of the UOC under the pretext of its canonical unity with the Russian Orthodox Church. Why is the OSCE silent?

🔸The militants of 🇺🇦 Ukrainian nationalistic battalions use seized vehicles of international organizations and global commercial companies for military purposes. Such cases were recorded in Kharkov and Mariupol, Kiev and other cities. There is also evidence of incidents with UN and OSCE vehicles

🔸There is still no answer to the question why @OSCE_SMM did not promptly report that its armored vehicles were transferred to the use of the neo-Nazi armed formation "Azov" in Mariupol at the end of February

🔸Authorities of a number of regions and cities of 🇺🇦 Ukraine deny citizens the right to use their native Russian language. Mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk R.Martsinkov said that immigrants from other regions of Ukraine will not be served in stores if they communicate in Russian.

🔸Awareness of the presence and role of neo-Nazi groups in 🇺🇦 Ukraine seems to be gradually starting to make its way in the West. The materials of the CNN channel and the Washington Post newspaper directly point to the radical orientation of the Azov battalion, which reincarnates the Nazi ideology.

‼️Из выступления А.К.Лукашевича «О продолжающихся преступлениях Украины
при поддержке ряда государств-участников ОБСЕ»(заседание Постоянного совета ОБСЕ 31 марта 2022 года):

🔸Совет Европейского союза всё же утвердил на прошлой неделе выделение Киеву на военные нужды ещё 500 млн. евро из «Европейского фонда мира». На деле это инвестиции в милитаризацию 🇺🇦 Украины. Западу не нужен мирный сценарий разрешения кризиса на Украине?

🔸Установленные 🇺🇦 Украиной старые морские мины дрейфуют по акватории Черного моря - огромная ⚠️ опасность для навигации и прибрежных городов.

🔸Украинские 🇺🇦 посольства за рубежом продолжают вербовать иностранных граждан для участия в боевых действиях. Это нарушение Венской конвенции о дипломатических сношениях, которая запрещает использовать диппредставительства в таких целях.

🔸Вооруженные формирования 🇺🇦 украинских националистов по-прежнему пренебрегают жизнями мирных жителей, прикрываются ими как «живым щитом», осуществляют пытки и издевательства над теми, кто остался на подконтрольных им территориях.

🔸На Украине 🇺🇦 раскручиваются расправы над инакомыслящими. В.Зеленский утвердил решение СНБО, под надуманными предлогами, блокирующее деятельность 11 политических партий. Так укрепляется легитимность решений Верховной Рады?

🔸Вопиющая ситуация сложилась вокруг УПЦ. 26 марта в Верховную Раду 🇺🇦 внесен законопроект запрещающий деятельность УПЦ под предлогом ее канонического единства с Русской православной церковью. Почему молчит ОБСЕ?

🔸Боевики 🇺🇦 украинских нацбатальонов используют в военных целях захваченный ими транспорт международных организаций и глобальных коммерческих компаний. Такие случаи зафиксированы в Харькове и Мариуполе, Киеве и других городах. Есть данные и об инцидентах с автомобилями ООН и ОБСЕ.

🔸До сих пор нет ответа на вопрос, почему @OSCE_SMM своевременно не сообщила о том, что её бронированные автомобили в конце февраля были переданы в пользование неонацистскому вооруженному формированию «Азов» в Мариуполе.

🔸Руководители ряда регионов и городов 🇺🇦 Украины отказывают гражданам в праве пользования родным русским языком. Мэр Ивано-Франковска Р.Марцинков заявил, что переселенцы из других регионов Украины не будут обслуживаться в магазинах, если будут общаться по-русски.

🔸Осознание присутствия и роли неонацистских группировок на 🇺🇦 Украине, похоже, постепенно начинает пробивать себе дорогу на Западе. Материалы телеканала CNN и газеты «Вашингтон пост» прямо указывают на радикальную направленность батальона «Азов», реинкарнирующего нацистскую идеологию.

#OTD in 1949 NATO was formed.

In the early 1990s we were promised NO eastward expansion. Yet, by 2022... 5 waves of enlargement, 14 new member states, bases & military infrastructure right on Russia's borders.

"Defensive", they say.
👉 Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan...

#Facts 👇

#NATO claims to be a "defensive" alliance & points a finger at Russia.

Meanwhile, its military spending exceeds Russia's ≈1️⃣8️⃣ times, constituting ≈5️⃣6️⃣% of global spending.

And the "Russian threat" is a good excuse to continue the buildup (≈6️⃣% in 2021).

▪️ The virus of Nazism is rampant in today's #Ukraine.

❓Who is behind that?

❓ Who is responsible for the thousands of young people roaming Ukrainian cities, doing the Nazi salute and shouting "heil"?

WarOnFakes.com on the situation in #Bucha:

👉 Firstly, Russian troops left Bucha on March 30th. Here is the official statement.

👉 Secondly, on March 31, another evidence of a cynical provocation in Bucha was heard – a statement by Bucha Mayor Anatoly Fedoruk. “March 31 will go down in the history of our settlement and the entire territorial community as the day of liberation from Russian orcs, Russian occupiers of our settlements by our Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the mayor said with a joyful smile on his face.

❓ Would he rejoice if dozens of his countrymen at that time were lying on the streets shot? Why does he say nothing in his statement about the atrocities of the Russian executioners? About torture, rape and murder?

👉 Moreover, the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine. The official telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city – and no “mountains of corpses” are visible on these streets.

❓So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from - and who are these people?

👉 The answer may lie in the video of the territorial defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question “Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?” to which a positive answer follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the territorial defense Sergey “Botsman” Korotkikh.

👉 By the way, on the videos distributed by the Ukrainian side, almost all the corpses have white bandages. This is a distinctive sign of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the civilian population.

🇷🇺🇺🇳Meeting was held in Moscow between the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Alexander Fomin, and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, during which the situation in Ukraine was discussed.

▫️Deputy Minister noted the successful joint work with representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs accredited to the Russian Defence Ministry in Moscow. Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine, established in Russian Defence Ministry, regularly transmits documents with objective information on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine to UN staff.

▫️Russian Defence Ministry informed Martin Griffiths about the increase in humanitarian assistance to the population of Ukraine in the areas controlled by the Russian Armed Forces, as well as in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics.

▫️Russian side emphasized that the key factor for Russian Defence Ministry in the joint delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Ukraine with the UN is to ensure the safety of the Organization's employees.

▫️Kiev uncontrollably distributed weapons to the population, which led to an increase in banditry and looting. Moreover, the number of incidents involving the use of weapons is steadily increasing, which can lead to the death of UN staff.

▫️It was also noted that the Ukrainian authorities have launched an information campaign to discredit Russian servicemen.

▫️For this purpose, provocations are used and staged incidents are created. A vivid example is the accusation of the Russian Armed Forces of an airstrike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol. On the eve it became known that the main character of the reports in the media denies the version of the air raid on the maternity hospital from the Russian side. According to her, nationalists from Azov units used several women in labor to film a report in a hospital destroyed, allegedly by Russia, according to a pre-prepared scenario. False information was spread by Western media.

▫️Russian Ministry of Defence has shown concrete evidence of genocide and brutality of the Ukrainian leadership and paramilitary units towards their own population.

▫️Deputy Minister of Defence of Russia said that the humanitarian situation in Ukraine is deteriorating. First of all, this is due to actions of Ukrainian authorities and nationalist battalions that continue to block citizens in cities.

▫️UN Deputy Secretary-General has been informed about the situation that has developed in connection with Kiev's sabotage of the regime of open humanitarian corridors. It is indicated that the Russian side has been creating every day since March 4 all conditions to ensure the safety of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens in the eastern and western directions. However, the convoys of refugees come under intense fire from AFU and national battalions, including mortars and large-caliber small arms fire. At the same time, despite this opposition, more than 123,000 people were saved only through humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to east without participation of Ukrainian side.

▫️On April 4, from 06:00, Russia reopened humanitarian corridor to rescue foreign citizens and civilians from Mariupol. At the same time, the Russian side is ready to ensure the entry of ships into the port of Berdyansk for evacuation of foreign citizens.

▫️67 foreign vessels continue to be blocked in Ukrainian ports. Every day from 08:00 to 19:00 (Moscow time), Russian Armed Forces open the maritime humanitarian corridor, which is a safe lane in the south-west direction. However, the threats of shelling and the high mine danger created by AFU do not allow ships to safely go to the open sea.

▫️For his part, M. Griffiths noted the importance of such contacts in order to solve complex humanitarian issues in crisis regions of the world.

▫️An understanding has been reached on the continuation of regular interaction.

🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Bucha provocation.

💬 I'd like to draw our attention to one thing. The Heads of State, Foreign Ministers and opinion leaders have been making their statements based exclusively on video footage that is less than one minute long and a few images. This is enough for them to lay the whole blame on us. There were no experts on site, they did not receive any other information <...>

Let me remind you that several days ago the entire world saw authentic footage of our soldiers being tortured over there in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian “side” recognised authenticity of these recordings. Have you heard anything from President Emmanuel Macron, or UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, or others about this? <...>

Who is the master of provocation? The United States and NATO, of course.

In this case, I think that the very fact that these statements came in a matter of minutes after these materials surfaced leaves no doubt as to who was behind this entire story.

Here’s Anatoliy Fedoruk, the mayor of Bucha, reporting on March 31 that the city is free from the Russian troops, who withdrew the day before.

Not a single word on the tragedy. Either he was too blind too see all the reported dead in the streets, or they appeared there much later…

INCONSISTENCIES with the “Bucha massacre” - Part 1

Ms. Katerina Ukraintseva, Bucha City Council Deputy, stated on an April 4 interview that the bodies have been “lying on the city’s main street for a month”.

Yet neither the city’s mayor, nor the Ukrainian National police, nor herself immediately reported on the atrocities upon arrival to Bucha (from March 31 till April 2).

The Russian troops, however, withdrew from the city on March 30.

INCONSISTENCIES with the “Bucha massacre” - Part 2

The main reports on Bucha came out after the Ukrainian military finished conducting a “sweep” (or purge) of the city, also looking for “diversionists and Russian collaborators”.

A reminder of how despicably cruel and barbaric the Ukrainian military and its nationalistic battalions can be 👇

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment on Ukraine, Moscow, April 5, 2022 ⚡️

💬 In the past few days, the propaganda machine of the West and Ukraine has focused exclusively on fueling hysteria over video taken, as we understand, by the military and security service of Ukraine in the city of Bucha, Kiev Region.

☝️ Assertions of “war crimes” committed by the Russian Armed Forces in the course of the special military operation have repeatedly been proved false at the detailed briefings by the Russian Defence Ministry, our Ministry and the Permanent Mission to the UN where we held a special news conference yesterday.

❓ The question, then, is what purpose does this blatantly false provocation serve? We are inclined to view it as a pretext to torpedo the ongoing negotiations at a time when some light, however dim, has appeared at the end of the tunnel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

▫️The grouping of troops from the Lugansk People's Republic continues to attack the positions of the Ukrainian 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade and is fighting on the eastern outskirts of Novotoshkovskoe.

▫️On the Severodonetsk direction, units of the Lugansk People's Republic have broken through the defence of the Ukrainian 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade, destroying up to 50 personnel and 9 armoured vehicles, and are fighting on the northern outskirts of Zamulovka.

▫️The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation strike at the assets of the military infrastructure of Ukraine.

💥High-precision air-based missiles near Zolochev and Chuguev destroyed 1 command post of territorial defence unit, 1 fuel depot and 1 armoured vehicle repair plant.

✈️💥During the day, operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces hit 33 military assets of Ukraine. Among them: 8 command posts, 3 logistics depots, as well as 21 strong points and areas of Ukrainian military equipment concentration.

💥Russian air defence means shot down 5 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle in the air.

📊In total, 125 aircraft and 93 helicopters, 403 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,981 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 854 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,876 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.

❗️On the morning of April 5, another attempt by the Kiev regime to evacuate the leaders of the Azov nationalist battalion was foiled near Mariupol.

💥Two Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters attempting to break through to the city from the sea were shot down by man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems.

▫️Earlier, we have repeatedly and through all available channels informed the Kiev regime of our proposals on the possibility of the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrawing from Mariupol after voluntarily laying down their arms.

▫️Today, once again, starting at 6am Moscow time, Ukrainian servicemen were asked to stop hostilities, lay down their weapons and withdraw along an agreed route to Kiev-controlled territory.

▫️However, these proposals have been consistently ignored by the Kiev regime.

❗️Given Kiev's disinterest in saving the lives of its servicemen, Mariupol will be liberated from nationalists by units of the Russian Armed Forces and the Donetsk People's Republic.

🎙 Постоянный представитель Российской Федерации при ОБСЕ А.К.Лукашевич:

💬 Категорически не согласны с оценками польского Действующего председательства применительно к ситуации в г. Буча Киевской области.

Призываем сейчас оставить в стороне эмоции и проанализировать факты:

🔹 30 марта подразделения ВС России вышли из Бучи. 31 марта туда вернулся ранее сбежавший мэр города Анатолий Федорук. Он записал видеообращение, в котором сообщил об инспектировании всего города и ни слова не сказал о каких-либо трупах на улицах.

🔹 2 апреля национальная полиция Украины на своих официальных ресурсах опубликовала видеозапись, как спецподразделения ВСУ входят в Бучу. На кадрах не видно погибших среди мирного населения.

🔹 Все тела людей, изображения которых опубликованы киевским режимом, по прошествии нескольких дней не окоченели, не имеют характерных трупных пятен, а в ранах – несвернувшаяся кровь.

❗️ После начала скоординированной медийной кампании в западных СМИ Российская Федерация дважды требовала созвать внеочередное заседание Совета Безопасности ООН по ситуации в этом населенном пункте Киевской области.

В его проведении российской стороне было отказано Великобританией, недавно заступившей на председательство в СБ ООН. Чего испугались? Правды и разоблачения видеоподлогов?

👉 Циничные лживые провокации используются нечистоплотными политиками на Украине и в ряде западных стран прежде всего для того, чтобы раскручивать спираль русофобии.

Отмечаем, что призывы к насилию над русскими и россиянами, в том числе звучащие с экранов украинских общенациональных телеканалов, включая обещания убивать всех русских детей, – не встречают никакого осуждения в ОБСЕ.

Почеркнём: правда о событиях на Украине будет пробивать себе дорогу. Фейки будут развенчаны. Справедливость обязательно восторжествует.
