⚔️ The heroic defence of the Brest Fortress began on June 22, 1941. Its garrison pinned down an entire Wehrmacht division for almost one month.
At the start of the Great Patriotic War, the fortress’ garrison comprised about 7,000 to 8,000 officers and soldiers from over 30 ethnic groups. The 45th German Infantry Division, with about 17,000 officers and soldiers, attacked the fortress. The German high command planned to seize the fortress in a few hours.
🕯 Surviving Soviet soldiers mostly conducted acts of sabotage and resisted until late July or even early August 1941. Most of the fortress’ defenders were killed in action, and some of them linked up with the partisans or reached the front line.
Today, the citadel remains a monument highlighting the indomitable willpower of those who were the first to engage Nazi invaders.

Russia and all Soviet people carried the main burden of defeating Nazi plague.
Lessons of history must not be forgotten. It's our common duty to ensure that Nazim never raises its head again. #LestWeForget #WeRemember

Press release on threats to global food security and Ukrainian grain supplies to international markets
❗️We have noted the increasingly frequent statements by Western representatives, echoed by UN officials, on the threat of a major food crisis due to a shortage of grain and fertilisers on international markets, allegedly provoked by Russia's actions in Ukraine.
We feel compelled to once again reiterate what the real root causes of these problems are.
👉 As far as the blockage of Ukrainian grain shipments by sea is concerned, we emphasise that Russia has never hindered the export of grain from Ukrainian Black Sea ports. In reality, safe navigation in Ukrainian territorial waters and the use of ports are currently impossible due to the high level of danger posed by mines and threat of shelling created by Kiev.
👉 It would be worth recalling that since the beginning of 2020, food and energy prices have increased significantly driven by the coronavirus pandemic, adverse climate factors and, importantly, major miscalculations in Western countries’ financial and economic policies.
🇷🇺 In turn, we reaffirm our readiness to continue to fulfil our obligations to export grain, fertilisers, energy resources and other critical products.

⚠️ We continue to carefully record the facts of criminal acts by the Kiev regime against the civilian population of Ukraine and the people's republics of Donbas, as well as the use of civilian infrastructure by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups for military purposes:
🔹 in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in a residential house (Parkovaya st., 95), servicemen of the AFU have deployed a strongpoint with munitions and armament depots, while its residents are forcibly retained in their flats. In the schools №4 (M.Priymachenko st.) and №25 (B.Khmelnitskogo st.), nationalists have deployed firing positions and sniper points, while the population of the nearby residential houses had been intentionally left without evacuation;
🔹 in Dachnoye, Odessa region, in the House of Culture and the gymnasium №2 (Mira st.), nationalists have deployed a strongpoint, as well as armoured vehicles and multiple rocket launchers at its territory;
🔹 in Lisichansk, Lugansk People's Republic, in a milk factory (Artyomovskoye hwy.), nationalists of Ukrainian armed groups have deployed barracks, firing positions and a munitions depot, as well as West-manufactured armoured vehicles and artillery cannons at the adjacent territory.

⚠️ In Avdeyevka, Donetsk People's Republic, professionals of the Centre for Information and Psychological Operations of the AFU have carried out another provocation aimed at accusing the Russian Armed Forces of an alleged destruction of civilian infrastructure facilities. For this purpose, nationalists exploded the building of the comprehensive school №6 (Shevchenko blvd.) and spread fabricated photo- and videographic data in Ukrainian and western mass media.
◽️ This kind of fakes is regularly replicated by the Ukrainian propaganda supported by the collective West.
🔹 Moreover, in Slavyansk, Kramatorsk district, militants of Ukrainian armed groups have planted mines at the roadside along Geroyev Truda street adjacent to M-03 motor way, while the local population has been intentionally left uninformed.
❗️ We warn the international community and international organisations in advance about this inhumane provocation prepared by the Ukrainian authorities that can result in victims among civilians, while the Kiev regime is going to accuse Russian servicemen of indiscriminate attacks as it has already been done according to a practiced method.

🎙 From FM Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the National State Television and Radio Company of the Republic of Belarus
💬 What surprises me more are not the lies that we hear daily and hourly from Kiev, but the fact that Kiev's sponsors have joined in this game of lies.
They are covering for Kiev, whether they need to or not and have been doing so for quite a while now. You mentioned the eight-year period that followed the anti-constitutional coup. This coup was the result of the opposition spitting in the face of the European Union as represented by France, Germany and Poland, which signed the agreement between Viktor Yanukovych and the three opposition leaders as guarantors. The next morning it was torn to shreds. Instead they prioritised cancelling the regional status of the Russian language and sent armed thugs to Crimea. This is how it all began.

#ThisDay 78 years ago, the Belorussian strategic offensive operation Bagration was launched during the Great Patriotic War.
⚔️ Being unique in terms of spatial scale, this operation is rightly considered to be the greatest achievement of the national art of war. It has resulted in the defeat of the most powerful Wehrmacht group.
◽️ Forces of the 1st Baltic, 3rd, 2nd and 1st Belorussian fronts supported by Dnepr Flotilla liberated Belorussia, some parts of Lithuania and Latvia, reached Poland and East Prussian border. The German Nazi command redeployed a considerable part of its forces from the Western Front to Belorussia for confronting Soviet troops. It facilitated the offensive of the allied force in France.
