❗️During the special operation in Ukraine, it was established that US scientists from a laboratory in Merefa (Kharkov Region) were testing potentially dangerous biological drugs on patients of the regional clinical psychiatric hospital No 3 in Kharkov between 2019 and 2021.

▫️Persons with mental disorders were selected for the experiments on the basis of their age, nationality and immune status. Special forms were used to record the results of 24-hour patient monitoring. The information was not entered into the hospital database and the staff of the medical institution signed a non-disclosure agreement.

▫️In January 2022, the laboratory in Merefa was shut down and all equipment and medication were moved to western Ukraine.

▫️There are a number of witnesses to these inhuman experiments, whose names we cannot disclose for the sake of their safety.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova’s interview with RT

❗️Russia has made public the facts that have come to light to date at the UN and other international organisations and called on the US authorities to provide detailed explanations, but, predictably, Washington does not appear to be ready to share with the public any meaningful information on its military biological programme in Ukraine.

📃 According to confirmed reports, Germany closely coordinated its work on biological security with its US allies, who established a network of at least 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine.

☝️ We urge German officials to immediately stop spreading false allegations about our country’s intentions to use weapons banned by international law. We believe that such statements can only serve to push neo-Nazi battalions to commit horrible provocations, and moral responsibility for their tragic consequences will be shared by Berlin.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova

Medvedchuk’s spouse Oksana Marchenko appealed to the British government and people: “I appeal to the relatives and friends of Aiden Eslin and Shaun Pinner: Angela Eslin, Nathan and Shannon Wood, Derby and Evan Pinner. It's in your power to ask the Prime Minister of your country, Boris Johnson, to influence the Ukrainian leadership and achieve the release of Aiden and Sean by exchanging them for the Ukrainian opposition politician detained by the Kiev authorities, my husband Viktor Medvedchuk.”

💬 Maria Zakharova: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who recently went to Kiev, must be aware of the developments with Her Majesty’s subjects. He is sure to reply, isn’t he?

Meanwhile, Liz Truss might take the opportunity to reveal what exactly the British nationals were doing there [in Mariupol, with Neo-Nazis] anyway.

Watch in full 👆

Here's how the Western mainstream media and politicians whitewash the neo-Nazi #Azov Battalion, that has committed countless atrocities and crimes, targeting & killing civilians outright and using them as "human shield" (watch Mariupol residents give first-hand accounts). From terrorists to "patriots" in the eye of Western media.

💬 Boris Johnson has urged the Russian government to treat the Briton detained in Mariupol while fighting on the side of the Ukrainian government forces “humanely and compassionately.”

Here is what we have to say in this respect.

Boris, we know that you personally and your Government have disavowed the British subjects who have fallen victim to British propaganda and went to Ukraine as mercenaries to kill people there.

Don’t pretend to be worried. You are utterly unconcerned about the fate of Britons in trouble. They didn’t drink champagne with you at Downing Street, and so they can wait for your protection till kingdom come.

I would like to tell the following to those Britons who are concerned about their compatriots: Don’t worry, Russia is taking care of them. They are given food and drink, as well as any other assistance they may need, just as the other foreigners who have surrendered or have been detained.

Unlike the Ukrainian fighters who brutally kill prisoners and torture civilians, the Russian Armed Forces are committed to humanitarian law. If there were no media censorship in Britain, everyone there would know this.

At the same time, we urge the British authorities to treat the citizens of Ukraine “humanely and compassionately,” as Boris Johnson said, by stopping the delivery of weapons to Ukraine. The more weapons London is sending to Ukraine, the more citizens of Ukraine die as a result. But the BBC will never tell Britons about that.

⚡️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a working meeting with Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

💬 You must offer all those who have not laid down their weapons to do so. Russia guarantees them their lives and dignity as per the relevant international legal instruments. All the wounded will get medical assistance.

You successfully completed the combat effort to liberate Mariupol. Let me congratulate you on this occasion, and please convey my congratulations to the troops.

We have to <...> consider ways of perpetuating the memory of those of our comrades who displayed heroism and sacrificed their lives so that our people in Donbass live in peace and to enable Russia, our country, to live in peace.

💬 Gonzalo Lira, a video blogger, author and famous film director and a citizen of Chile and the United States, has not been in contact since April 15 after he went missing in Kharkov. He was where the action was, actively commenting on the events in Ukraine, first in Kiev and later in Kharkov. He honestly and professionally reported about the causes of the crisis and the ongoing outrages, including the Nazis’ atrocities. His video reports have helped many people in the West see the truth. The far-right radicals hated what he did and he started receiving threats.

The liberal queers and “honest” Western journalists, which is often one and the same, echoed the neo-Nazis’ threats. And now these “members of the public” are merrily discussing Gonzalo’s disappearance and are openly threatening their colleagues who dare to speak out openly about the events in Ukraine without mincing words.

‘Patrick [Lancaster], you next,” tweeted a transgender journalist from Las Vegas, who is reporting from Kharkov and often takes photos with the thugs from the so-called territorial defence forces.

They are doing their best to cancel and cross out those who disagree with them.

Sergey Korotkikh, aka Botsman, a chieftain of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, has hinted that his neo-Nazi confederates could be involved in Gonzalo’s disappearance: “It is ironic that Gonzalo Lira, a Chilean, has been captured by the man whose alias is Chile. Anyway, hope to see a beheading video on Telegram soon.” How do you like that? Incidentally, Chile is one of those who murdered and tortured Russian servicemen.

The tweet has been deleted, because Lira is a US citizen, but nothing can be deleted from the internet without a trace.

This is fresh proof that the cannibalistic liberal logic is so closely interconnected with the Nazi ideology that it is sometimes impossible to tell which is which. This is indicative.

P.S. We sincerely hope that the media mayhem raised by Azov Nazis and Western propagandists is nothing more than theatrics and that Gonzalo and his family are all well.

Στις 21 Απριλίου του 1735 γεννήθηκε ο παραγωγικός Ρώσος εφευρέτης Ιβάν Κουλίμπιν. Ανάμεσα στις αξιοθαύμαστες εφευρέσεις του είναι το ρολόι τσέπης της αυτοκράτειρας της Ρωσίας Μεγάλης Αικατερίνης. Κάθε ώρα οι μικρές πόρτες άνοιγαν παρουσιάζοντας την επιχρυσωμένη μινιατούρα της Ανάστασης.

🇷🇺🇪🇺📞 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.
