The video also features a German reporter Thomas Röper’s story from Volnovakha, on how his own photos were used to suit the “narrative”.

❗EMBASSY STATEMENT
12 April 2022
The April 8 tragedy in Kramatorsk is the sole responsibility of the Ukrainian armed forces. Dozens of innocent civilians trying to get out of the city were killed at the train station by the Ukrainian tactical missile “Tochka-U” fitted with prohibited cluster warhead. The Ukrainian military had previously used such munitions on multiple occasions. For example, against the residential areas of Melitopol on the night of March 18, as well as on March 14 against the central streets of Donetsk leaving more than 20 civilians dead and dozens injured.
The Kiev regime in cold blood shelled civilian population of Kramatorsk to instigate hate against Russia to prevent people from evacuating, with the ultimate goal to use them – as in Mariupol before – as human shield.
While demilitarizing Ukraine, Russian forces have destroyed significant inventory of “Tochka-U” missiles. However, some still remain in the hands of the Ukrainian military. The serial number of the debris in Kramatorsk is yet another proof of that. The killer weapon belongs to the same batch of “Tochka-U” missiles the Ukrainian armed forces used to hit other non-military targets and cities with predominantly Russian population. Besides the above-mentioned, these Ukrainian missiles attacked an airfield (March 1) and a seaport (March 24) in Berdyansk and residential communities of Makeyevka (March 21), Lugansk (March 30) and Novoaydar (April 10).
Such horrendous acts against civilians are war crimes and crimes against humanity. Russia has launched investigation of these and other Ukrainian atrocities. All the perpetrators of these brutal attacks will be brought to justice.
(Note to the Canadian media outlets that retransmit fake news generated in Kiev: check the facts first. By the way, Russia does not possess “Tochka-U” missile systems. Every military expert in Canada knows that.)

🚀 April 12, 1961, marked the dawn of a new space era - a major milestone in the history of humanity which cannot be understated.
Of course, it is also a golden page in the biography of a legend, a remarkable man who had a direct bearing on the march of world history and later came to symbolise space exploration.
Every year at 9:07 am Moscow time on #CosmonauticsDay, we start counting minutes until Gagarin’s return home - all 108 minutes (that's how long the flight took).
🌏 Launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome, his spacecraft, Vostok 1, completed a full orbit around the Earth, landing in the Saratov Region. Two days later, the capital and the entire country welcomed the space hero back. The world applauded the space pioneer!

🎙 #Opinion by Maria Zakharova:
💬 We have been saying for the past eight years that the West is training Ukrainian nationalists. The “exceptional” and “civilised” countries refused to listen, but we continued to make our point with facts in hand. That was easy: you only had to go to Ukraine to see the regular events involving SS Waffen veterans, torchlight marches and the huge portraits of Nazi accomplices on buildings in Ivano-Frankovsk, Lvov and Ternopol.
This week, Canadian correspondent Simon Coutu published the results of a simple investigation on his page at Radio Canada. He studied the pictures posted to social media by the National Guard of Ukraine and compared them to the training programmes conducted for the Ukrainian military by the Canadian Department of National Defence. What did he see?
He writes that many photographs made at the Canada-sponsored training centre in Zolochyov show men in fatigues with the symbols of SS divisions Das Reich and Galizien on their sleeve patches. The experts Coutu contacted have confirmed that these men are neo-Nazis, most probably from the Azov regiment. Moreover, Coutu writes that the Azov Regiment has been incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard as “a special detachment of Military Unit 3057.” He also found out that Canada has spent nearly a $1 billion on training the Ukrainian military since 2014. How much of these funds went to train neo-Nazis? It’s anybody’s guess.
☝️ As I have said, the Canadian journalist has simply looked at the pictures and has seen what we have been talking about for years. He just looked at the photographs. We call for this every day.
Do you understand now why Russian film director Elem Klimov named his film about Nazism “Come and See”? Sometimes that is all that is needed. But it turns out that even this takes a great deal of courage.

⚡️⚡️❗️DPR MFA statement regarding the evacuation of foreign ships crews from Mariupol
After liberation of the Mariupol port one of the priority tasks for military personnel of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Russian Armed Forces was the immediate evacuation of crews of foreign ships that had previously been blocked by Ukrainian armed formations. On April 11, 47 ship crew members were evacuated, including citizens of Russia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Syria and Ukraine.
Today the DPR People's Militia together with the Russian Armed Forces evacuated 15 crew members of the “Tzarevna” cargo ship: among them 14 citizens of the Republic of Bulgaria and one citizen of Ukraine.
At the moment, foreign sailors are in Donetsk, the Republic’s authorities provided them with all the necessary support and food, as well as placed them in a hotel.
The DPR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in turn, began to implement all necessary procedures to organize the departure of evacuated sailors to their countries.
Moreover, the DPR MFA employees, as the necessary documents are processed, deliver sailors to the territory of the Russian Federation for further return to their homeland.
We are grateful to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the FSB Border Guard Service and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for prompt assistance in this process. Together with all our Russian colleagues, we intend to do everything possible to return all the citizens evacuated from the Mariupol port home, to their relatives and friends as soon as possible.

Be it intentional or out of ignorance - the fact is still alarming, as not only the #Azov nationalistic battalion has certain “image problems”.
