🇷🇺🇪🇺📞 President Vladimir Putin had a lengthy telephone conversation with President of the European Council Charles Michel.

The leaders discussed in detail the developments in Ukraine. Charles Michel told Vladimir Putin about his contacts with the Ukrainian leadership during his recent visit to Kiev.

Attention was drawn to the irresponsible statements by EU officials about the need to resolve the situation in Ukraine by force of arms and their neglect of numerous war crimes of Ukrainian security agencies. It was noted that Brussels could influence the Kiev authorities, compelling them to stop the massive shelling of residential areas in Donbass and refrain from other crude violations of international humanitarian law.

❗️ In addition, the leaders of the majority of EU countries are taking actions that provoke overt Russophobia, which is manifest in the cultural, humanitarian and sports areas.

International concern forced the Ukrainian Security Service to show that 🇨🇱/🇺🇸 reporter Gonzalo Lira, whom the nationalists detained on April 15, is alive!

However, he doesn’t have access to his cellphone and social media accounts, gagged on what he can say publicly, and not allowed to leave Kharkov.

In a way, he got “lucky”. A number of his fellow journalists, who received “the Ukrainian treatment of the free press”, will never be seen again.

The founder of the infamous Azov battalion Andrei Biletsky thinks that killing civilians during an “Immortal Regiment” parade (i.a. with a “Tochka-U” missile) would make for a “funny video”.

The following clip is meant for those, who dismiss the idea that 🇺🇦 nationalists can and do kill their own citizens.

💬Ambassador Stepanov to Sputnik news agency: We understand that on a philosophical level the denigration of Russia emanates not simply from the strategic need of propaganda and information warfare. It is deeply rooted in the farthest corner of the Western soul.

‼️ Read extracts from the statement of the Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On the continuing crimes of Ukraine against civilians
with the support of the Western Alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 22 April 2022):



🔺Ukrainian armed formations continue mass crimes against the civilian population on the direct orders of the Kiev leadership and its Western sponsors

🔺Once again, we emphasize that all responsibility for the difficult humanitarian situation in the combat zones lies with the Ukrainian right-wing radical nationalist battalions, which use the civilian population as a "human shield"

🔺The leadership of 🇺🇦 Ukraine continues to sabotage the regime of open humanitarian corridors, regularly provided by the Russian military. Refugee columns are literally daily subjected to intense fire from units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalist battalions.

🔺Evidence of the atrocities of the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian armed groups against civilians is multiplying. Bodies of 26 dead civilian victims of shelling by the Ukrainian national battalion "Azov" were found in hospital No. 4 in Mariupol.

🔺Russian servicemen discovered the headquarters of the "territorial defense" unit in the Kherson school. The children's educational institution was used as a stronghold with ammunition and weapons
