⚠️ We continue to record the facts of crimes committed by the Kiev regime against civilians, as well as the use by Ukrainian armed formations of houses, educational institutions and other social facilities for military purposes:

🔹in Kharkov, buildings of kindergarten No 362 and art school No 5 (Zernovoy Lane) are used by AFU forces and territorial defence units, and heavy equipment and artillery are deployed near institutions;

🔹in Kostantinovka, Donetsk People's Republic, Ukrainian nationalists have equipped a stronghold in school No. 3 (Tsiolkovskogo Street) and approaches to the building are mined, but the local population is deliberately not informed about this;

🔹in Odessa, units of Ukrainian armed formations, ammunition depots and armoured vehicles are deployed on the territory of school No 120 (Dalnitskaya Street);

🔹in Bakhmut, Donetsk People's Republic, territorial defence fighters have equipped firing positions on the lower and upper floors of residential buildings (Levanevskogo Street), while local residents are not allowed to leave their flats and all attempts by citizens to evacuate to safe areas are harshly suppressed;

🔹in Nikolaevka, Donetsk People's Republic, Ukrainian neo-Nazis have mined bridges across the Severskyi Donets River, which they intend to blow up and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on critical transport infrastructure in a well-established scenario with spread in Ukrainian and Western media.

▫️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.

🔹Ukrainian neo-Nazis using unmanned aerial vehicles attacked buildings near Zaporozhye NPP with two 120mm mines.

▫️ This is not the first cynical provocation of the Kiev regime at the radiation hazardous facilities, organised by Western handlers, who, by realising their criminal goals, are putting millions of Ukrainian citizens in danger at the hands of Kiev.

▫️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.

❗️We call on the countries of the international community, the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other international organizations to influence official Kiev and take effective measures to prevent provocations at potentially hazardous facilities.

⚠️ According to reliable information, in the second decade of July 2022, SSU leadership in Odessa plans to film three staged reports on the allegedly high performance of its officers in detecting and suppressing Russian sabotage groups.

▫️The role of saboteurs will be played by territorial defence fighters.

▫️We warn in advance that these fabricated photos and videos will be widely circulated in Ukrainian and Western media, as well as internet resources.

⚠️ We continue to record numerous facts of criminal actions by Kiev regime against civilians, as well as the use of medical facilities for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:

🔹in Druzhkovka, Donetsk People's Republic, AFU soldiers have equipped firing positions and sniper points in the building of Polyclinic No. 1 (Kotlyarevskogo Street), personnel and patients are forcibly held in the basement as a "human shield" and the approaches to the institution are mined, but the local population is deliberately not informed about this;

🔹in Ugledar, Donetsk People's Republic, nationalist fighters have equipped barracks, firing positions and ammunition storage sites in a polyclinic (Molodezhnaya Street), heavy equipment and artillery, mortar positions and MANPADs on the roof of the building have been placed in the immediate vicinity and in the adjoining territory;

🔹in Bilozerskoye, Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis have equipped a stronghold and ammunition and arms depots in the city hospital (Festivalnaya Street) without evacuating nearby residents;

🔹in Dobroslav and Krasnoselka, Liman District, Odessa Region, militants of Ukrainian armed formations are using hospital buildings and ambulance stations as command posts and barracks, while all patients, regardless of their state of health, as well as patients in maternity wards with newborn babies were cynically kicked out of medical facilities, and medical personnel who tried to prevent the inhuman actions of neo-Nazis were physically abused.

▫️Once again, we call on all international organisations, especially the World Health Organisation, to influence official Kiev and take effective measures to prevent the use of medical infrastructure for military purposes.

⚠️ Health officials in Kharkov, with the full support of the city administration, are stealing medicines and medical supplies provided by Western countries as humanitarian aid, which are then sold at inflated prices in local pharmacies, and psychotropic substances are openly sold over the Internet.

▫️Such actions by criminal Ukrainian authorities demonstrate complete indifference to the fate of their own citizens and absolute disregard for all norms of morality and the principles of international humanitarian law.

⚠️ Russian Federation's Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response continues to record numerous facts of criminal actions by Kiev regime against civilians, as well as the use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:

🔹in Nikolaev, the building of the vocational engineering lyceum (Kosmonavtov Street) AFU units are located. There is a large amount of military equipment on the adjoining territory, artillery positions have been equipped, roadblocks have been set up around the perimeter of the school, and the approaches to the institution have been mined, but the local population has not been informed about this;

🔹in Bylbasovka, Kramatorsk district, Donetsk People's Republic, Ukrainian nationalist units, self-propelled artillery and ammunition storage facilities are deployed in the private households, and there has been no deliberate evacuation of civilians from the area;

🔹in Kharkov, militants of Kraken nationalist battalion have equipped strongholds and ammunition depots on the lower and upper floors of multi-storey residential buildings (Vladyslav Zubenko Street), with rocket launchers and armoured vehicles placed in courtyards, local residents prohibited from leaving their flats, and all attempts to evacuate to safe areas have been harshly suppressed;

🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis fire artillery at positions of the Russian Armed Forces and formations of Donetsk People's Republic from School No. 3 (Nadiya Kurchenko Street) at night, provoking them to return fire, while holding residents of nearby houses in the basement of the building under the pretext of alleged security, effectively using them as human shield;

🔹in Dnepropetrovsk region east of Troitskoye, Ukrainian neo-Nazis have mined a bridge over the Volchya River, which they plan to blow up and, following a well-established scenario with extensive coverage in the Ukrainian and Western media, accuse units of the Russian Armed Forces and Donetsk People's Republic of allegedly indiscriminate strikes against transport infrastructure facilities.

▫️We emphasize once again that in carrying out the tasks of the special military operation, the Russian armed forces do not strike at civilian infrastructure, treat the civilian population with the utmost humanity and provide the civilians with comprehensive assistance and support.

⚠️According to the testimony of captive AFU servicemen, a large number of mobilized Ukrainian citizens have health limitations, but they are forced to sign a refusal to undergo a special medical commission at the military registration and enlistment offices.

▫️Thus, practically the entire male population of Ukraine, irrespective of their state of health, is recognised as fit for military service.

▫️This lawlessness is led by corrupt officials in the Ukrainian military enlistment offices who, without regret, send people to their imminent deaths, just as the Nazis did in the last months of the Great Patriotic War, when, realising the hopelessness of their situation, they threw sick, elderly and teenagers to defend the cities.

▫️Such actions, once again, demonstrate the inhumane attitude of the Ukrainian authorities to their own citizens and their complete indifference to their fate.

According to @mod_russia_en on July 14 Kalibr high-precision missiles struck house of officers in #Vinnitsa that hosted meeting btw UAF command & foreign arms suppliers.

🇷🇺 doesn't target civilians. Unlike 🇺🇦 nationalists shelling residential areas of Donetsk & Lugansk republics with Western weapons.

⚡️Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ statement on the situation in Ukraine

❓What can you tell us about UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres saying on July 14 that he was shocked by a rocket fired into the city of Vinnitsa, central Ukraine?

💬Maria Zakharova: Indeed, this statement by Antonio Guterres has come to our attention. Here’s what I would like to say.

What we are seeing now is something that goes back in time. Contrary to the requirements in the UN Charter, the Secretariat is not taking an equidistant position, as one would expect from a Secretariat of the most authoritative international organisation that is designed, among other things, to promote the settlement of disputes.
Now with regard to this particular case. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, high-precision Kalibr missiles were used in Vinnitsa targeting a garrison house of officers which at that moment was housing a meeting of the Ukrainian Air Force command with representatives of foreign arms suppliers. The UN is probably aware of that. If not, then we suggest that Mr Guterres ask Ukraine why the Kiev regime is placing military facilities in close proximity to civilian buildings.

At the same time, for some reason, like many other UN representatives, the Secretary-General does not see the Armed Forces of Ukraine fire direct missile strikes against civilian targets and residential urban areas. I will give examples. Regarding the shelling of Kursk and Belgorod on July 3, as well as the shelling of Novaya Kakhovka on July 12, when warehouses with saltpeter exploded and residential buildings, a church and other buildings were damaged, the force of the detonation was similar to the explosion in the port of Beirut, and according to the regional Interior Ministry, approximately 190 people asked for medical help. Neither Mr Guterres, nor his official representative, nor anyone else from the UN Secretariat condemned the attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure as in the case of Vinnitsa. In response to a specific request to comment on the incident in Novaya Kakhovka, Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary General, Farhan Haq, said there were no comments on that matter. On earlier occasions, the UN has repeatedly ignored reports of civilian deaths, including children, caused by Ukrainian troop fire. Also, UN Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric had no information about Ukraine using civilians as a human shield (March 3 briefing https://www.un.org/press/en/2022/db220303.doc.htm).

I would like to remind our esteemed colleagues from the UN Secretariat that their job is not to take sides in disputable situations, but to help maintain peace and stability. This is what they are paid for and this is their mandate.

⚡️Réponse de Maria Zakharova, porte-parole du ministère des Affaires étrangères de la Fédération de Russie à une question des médias concernant la déclaration du Secrétaire général de l'ONU, Antonio Guterres, sur la situation en Ukraine

❓Comment pouvez-vous commenter la déclaration du Secrétaire général de l'ONU Antonio Guterres du 14 juillet qu'il a été "choqué par les tirs de roquettes sur la ville de Vinnitsa dans la partie centrale de l'Ukraine".

💬Réponse: En effet, nous avons remarqué cette déclaration d’Antonio Guterres. Je voudrais noter ce qui suit.
Ce que nous voyons maintenant est une longue histoire. Le Secrétariat, contrairement aux exigences que lui impose la Charte des Nations unies, n'adopte pas une position symétrique, comme on pourrait l'attendre du Secrétariat de l'organisation internationale la plus respectée, fondée, entre autres, pour favoriser le règlement des différends.
Rappelons les faits. Selon le ministère russe de la Défense, à Vinnitsa, des missiles de haute précision Kalibr ont touché la garnison des officiers, qui accueillait à ce moment-là une réunion du commandement de l'armée de l'air ukrainienne avec des représentants de fournisseurs d'armes étrangers. Et cela est probablement connu de l'ONU. Si ce n'est pas le cas, nous recommandons à Antonio Guterres de demander à l'Ukraine de répondre à cette question: pourquoi le régime de Kiev déploie-t-il des sites militaires à proximité des sites civiles?

Dans le même temps, le Secrétaire général de l'ONU, pour une raison qu’on ignore, comme de nombreux autres représentants de l'organisation mondiale, ne remarque pas lorsque les forces armées ukrainiennes effectuent des frappes de missiles dirigés contre des sites civils et des zones résidentielles dans les villes. Je vais citer des exemples. En ce qui concerne le bombardement de Koursk et de Belgorod le 3 juillet, ainsi que de Novaïa Kakhovka le 12 juillet, lorsque des entrepôts de salpêtre ont explosé et des bâtiments résidentiels, une église et d'autres bâtiments ont été endommagés. La force de détonation était comparable à l'explosion dans le port de Beyrouth, et selon le ministère régional de l'Intérieur, environ 190 personnes ont demandé une assistance médicale. Ni Antonio Guterres, ni son représentant officiel, ni personne d'autre du Secrétariat de l'ONU n'ont condamné "l'attaque contre la population civile et les infrastructures civiles", comme dans le cas de Vinnitsa. Et en réponse à une demande de commenter l'incident à Novaïa Kakhovka, le porte-parole adjoint du secrétaire général de l'ONU Farhan Haq a déclaré qu'"il n'y avait pas de commentaires sur cette question". Et plus tôt, l'ONU a ignoré à plusieurs reprises les informations faisant état de la mort de civils, y compris d'enfants, suite aux frappes des troupes ukrainiennes. Aussi, le porte-parole du secrétaire général de l'ONU Stéphane Dujarric n'avait aucune information selon laquelle l'Ukraine utiliserait la population civile comme bouclier humain (briefing du 3 mars https://www.un.org/press/en /2022/db220303.doc.htm).

Je voudrais rappeler aux collègues du Secrétariat de l'ONU que leur tâche n'est pas de prendre parti de quelqu’un dans des situations litigieuses, mais de contribuer au maintien de la paix et de la stabilité. C'est pour cela qu'ils reçoivent un salaire et sont habilités à le faire.

⚔️ On July 15, 1240 – 782 years ago – the Novgorod and Swedish armies fought a battle at the mouth of the Neva River. The Swedish invaders were going to build a fortress there and convert the locals to Catholicism, but they were met with fierce resistance from the young Prince Alexander of Novgorod.

Outnumbered by the enemy, the prince decided to attack at an unexpected time and from an unexpected side. The Swedes, who set up camp on the left bank of the Neva River, did not anticipate an attack from land. Prince Alexander’s foot-borne troops cut them off from their ships, and the cavalry cornered them between the banks of the Izhora and Neva rivers. The Novgorodian army won a crushing victory, having lost only 20 men.

☝️ The event made it into Russian history as the Battle of the Neva. The victory prevented Novgorod from losing the Gulf of Finland shores and preserved Rus’s trade with the West.

⚠️It has been confirmed that in Slaviansk, Donetsk People's Republic, units of Ukrainian armed groups launch attacks at residential areas for promoting anti-Russian opinion with support of the military-civilian administration.

🔹On July 14, 2022, AFU artillery deployed at Slavyansk railway station launched attacks at central market.

❗️Just in some minutes after the shelling, reporters from Ukrainian mass media commenced their work at the incident location, started taking photo- and videographic data about the consequences of allegedly indiscriminate attacks launched by Russian Armed Forces at civilian population.

⚠️In addition, Ukrainian armed groups continue using residential buildings, educational entities and social facilities with military purposes:

🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the kindergarten (Nadi Kurchenko st.), AFU units have deployed their manpower, armoured equipment, long-range artillery and MRLS, the approaches to the kindergarten have been mined, but local population has been intentionally left uninformed about it;

🔹in Nikolayev, nationalists have deployed their strongpoints in residential buildings (Admiralskaya st.), residents have not been evacuated;

🔹in Toretsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the school 9 (Tereshkovoy at.), Ukrainian armed groups have deployed their manpower, munitions depots and armoured vehicles, while residents of local buildings are retained in sports hall.

⚠️Despite the repeated statements by the Joint Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response, this kind of facts of inhumane treatment to the civilian population remains neglected by the international community and organisations.

▫️According to reliable information, in Odessa region; employees of state and municipal establishments are forced to fill in reports about relatives in Russia, describing relations with them, as well as about neighbours who do not support the policies of Ukrainian leadership.

❗️All the people suspected of pro-Russian opinion are retained and transported to an unknown destination.
