⚠️ Ukrainian armed forces and fighters of Ukrainian nationalist formations continue to use social infrastructure facilities for military purposes:

🔹in Odessa, territorial defence units equipped weapons and ammunition depot in the lyceum building (Yelisavetinskaya Street) and trenches and a stronghold near the dormitory and school No. 56 (Tenistaya Street), without evacuating residents from nearby houses;

🔹in Nikolaev, fighters of Ukrainian armed formations equipped barracks in schools No. 1 (Aivazovskogo Street) and No. 7 (Potemkinskaya Street), and in kindergarten No. 70 (Faleevskaya Street) and school No. 24 (Lesnaya Street) - warehouses with rockets for MLRS;

🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, militants of the Ukrainian armed forces equipped strongholds on the territory of the Machine-Building College (Bolshaya Sadovaya Street) and general education schools No. 10 (Khabarovskaya Street) and No. 16 (Leonid Bykov Street), with armoured vehicles and large-calibre artillery placed in the adjoining territory;

🔹in Slavyansk, Donetsk People's Republic, nationalists have equipped firing positions in the building of the vocational engineering lyceum (Koltsevaya Street) and placed artillery and MLRS in the courtyard.

▫️The militants, knowing that civilians would be victims of such criminal actions, deliberately target Russian Armed Forces positions from residential areas, provoking them to return fire in order to subsequently place responsibility for possible civilian casualties on Russian servicemen.

🔹Kiev regime is planning to carry out another inhuman provocation in Shostka city, Sumy Region.

▫️Long-range missile systems are expected to be delivered to Shostka from the USA in the near future, with which militants of the Ukrainian armed formations are planning to strike at the Russian Federation border territory directly from residential areas of the town on the orders of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU).

▫️The Ukrainian neo-Nazis hope to provoke the Russian Armed Forces into returning fire and then accuse them of indiscriminate strikes on civilian infrastructure and the killing of Ukrainian civilians.

❗️This provocation will involve Ukrainian and foreign journalists at the instructions of the Kiev authorities to prepare fake photos and videos of the alleged "killing of civilians by Russians", which will be widely spread by Western news agencies.

⚠️ On May 31, 2022, around 7:00 pm (Moscow time), retreating units of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU detonated a tanker containing a toxic chemical substance (nitric acid) at Severodonetsk Azot enterprise in order to stop advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces and formations of the Donetsk People's Republic by creating a chemical contamination zone.

▫️After the explosion, an orange-coloured toxic cloud rose (to an altitude of about one kilometre) and moved towards Kremennaya and Rubezhnoe.

▫️The Ukrainian neo-Nazis were not deterred by the fact that innocent civilians had suffered as a result of this terrorist act involving a toxic chemical substance.

▫️The Kiev authorities have once again shown their criminal and cynical nature. Terror and genocide against its own people have become the norm in Ukraine.

❗️We emphasize once again that in carrying out the tasks of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation treat the local population extremely humanely and do not strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, unlike the Ukrainian armed formations.

🇷🇺🇸🇳 President Vladimir Putin held talks with Chairperson of the African Union, President of Senegal Macky Sall with the participation of Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat.

* * *

💬 Vladimir Putin: I would like to note that our country has always been on Africa’s side and has always supported Africa in its fight against colonialism.

I am glad to note that the Russia-Africa summit was held here in Sochi in 2019. We have entered a new stage of development and we place a great emphasis on our relations with African countries. This has had a certain positive result.

Africa’s role on the international stage and in the political area in general is growing. We believe that Africa as a whole and its countries, with which we traditionally share friendly relations, have huge potential, and we are going to continue to develop our relations with Africa in general and with its states.

🎙 On EU myths of food and energy security

🇪🇺 Due to the EU’s ongoing insinuations that blame Russia for provoking a global food and energy crisis, we consider it necessary to provide detailed explanations on the state of affairs in this area.

👉 The presented materials show that these rabid Russophobic accusations are groundless. They directly point to the EU’s own responsibility for promoting attitudes of panic in world markets, for the growing prices of energy and agricultural products and for the deliberate and massive export of Ukrainian grain reserves for its own purposes.

⚠️ We continue to carefully record the continuing egregious facts of the inhumane treatment of civilians by the authorities in Kiev, and use of social infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:

🔹in Zolotoe, Lugansk People's Republic, the Ukrainian armed forces have equipped firing positions and sniper points in apartment buildings (Tsentralnaya Street). Local residents are forbidden to leave their flats, and all attempts by citizens to evacuate to safe areas are severely curtailed;

🔹in Marchikhina Buda, Sumy Region, AFU units have equipped firing points and a warehouse with rockets for MLRS in a local school building;

🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis have equipped a stronghold in the building of Vocational Engineering Lyceum No. 65, and armoured vehicles and large-calibre artillery have been placed on the premises.

🔹in Nikolaevka, Donetsk People's Republic, AFU servicemen and territorial defence units have equipped strongholds and ammunition depots in the buildings of School No. 3 and Boarding School for Orphans No. 7, while locals are kept in basements under the pretext of ensuring their safety.

▫️Such actions by Kiev once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude towards the fate of its own citizens and show a complete disregard for all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.

▫️All this is happening with the tacit consent of the "Russophobe-influenced" countries of the so-called collective West, which continue to turn a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime, shifting the blame onto the Russian Federation without evidence.

❗️We emphasize once again that in carrying out the tasks of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation treat the local population extremely humanely and do not strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, unlike the Ukrainian armed formations.

#Interview

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova:

💬 Another political scandal has flared up in London.

Correspondence by ex-chief of the MI6 Richard Dearlove with high-ranking officials in the power block of the British government and civil activists has come to light.

Background: the UK is leaving the EU in 2018-2019, and long and very tough talks with Brussels are underway about the “divorce” parameters. Some hardliner politicians headed by Richard Dearlove believe that Theresa May is too slow, her plan is too “soft,” and the prime minister needs to be replaced.

For instance, an advisor to the UK Ministry of Defence Gwythian Prins writes, “At the moment I am heavily involved in trying to kill off the Prime Minister’s awful Withdrawal Agreement…If Henry [Kissinger] is game to help with this, then I can provide him the background material…”

Here is another excerpt from the correspondence, “The goals are to block any deal to leave the EU arising from the disastrous and craven Checkers White Paper, […] remove this Prime Minister and replace with one fit for purpose.” And here’s more, just a few months later: “Now kill her and it.” To be honest, this doesn’t really fit with the ideals of the British parliamentary monarchy.

The entire operation to replace the prime minister was sponsored by the “old money” of Timothy and Mary Clode, a pair of aristocrats who in the past decades set roots in Jersey’s tax haven. Journalists acknowledge that it is hard to find such low-profile wealthy people as they deliberately avoid any publicity in social networks and online. The correspondence notes that they are “quite good at consciously discreet conversations, if required.” Thus, they were ideal for the role of money bags and supplied the funds monthly to prepare “the products,” meaning compromising materials and defamation.

The selective strikes result in Theresa May’s failing with her Brexit plan in parliament and in talks with the EU. The forces that brought her down don’t conceal their satisfaction at the outcome of the EU-UK Summit in Salzburg, which they refer to as “May’s fiasco.”

Now resolute Boris Johnson comes in to replace her and finishes what had been started the way the power establishment wanted it done. “Immediately on taking power, Boris needs to summon all Conservative MPs, ask for firm (preferably written) undertaking to support the strategy of clean exit.” Actually, in the last letters there is talk of replacing Johnson with another puppet: “I’m coming to believe that I cannot see how the PM will not flounder one way or another; he has so lost control of his mind and willpower that maybe this will be for the best?” I wouldn’t argue with the latter point, by the way.

The candidates proposed for the Prime Minister’s position are Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, and, my God, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. “Plainly the Foreign Secretary with Frost’s backing, has and is showing determination” to finish Brexit. “Before the holiday closure I happened to be seated at a dinner next to one of BoJo’s long-time funders who told me that he had dumped him and shifted his money to Truss.”

Now it is clear why only her erudition comes second to her manageability. In all probability, Liz has been selected back in the 1990s and is being guided through life changing her views and rhetoric as needed and contrary to her earlier principles. So there are no more questions as to why she talks about matters she has no idea about. This is the reason for her notorious embarrassments.

Sure enough, Richard Dearlove and the “experts” on his feeding list promptly attributed the leaks to the Russians. Do I understand it right that the British can only find out the truth about their democracy from the Russians? Is that the reason why London banned RT broadcasts?

Do you think this sort of change of power is a coup or an intrigue? I think it is neither. It is a very English tradition. As much as poisonings.
