Some in the West are fond

''stunning'', for example, to describe
a work of art... but believe me
when I say - this film about a
lad of 14 - made me laugh
and cry and - by the end
- I was left stunned.
A recent attempt on youtube by an obvious anti-Russian, to pour scorn on this film's historical accuracy, tries to point out that the nazi troops state they are members of a unit that was not there.. but can't bring himself to see that they might have been lying!

THE TRAGEDY IN UKRAINE
"Veterans and children of the Great PatrioticWar: to the Government andpeopleof Germany".
By events in Ukraine
Today, when the German government decided
to supply Ukraine with lethal weapons, the
world has changed — the silhouettes of a
new world war are more than clearly
outlined! And again - Germany!
But there are honest people in Germany, anti-
fascists, and we hope that this Message will
fall into their hands. People born between
1927 and 1945 have the status of "war
children" in Russia.
All those who survived that war can subscribe to this letter. We think that actual signatures are not necessary, we suggest that veterans(or "war children") read them this letter, independently or with someone's help,
and send us (at the coordinatesindicated below) something like the following:
Moscow, Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich, 90 years old, disabled war veteran (or otherwise), Hero of the Soviet Union (or Holder of the Order of Glory... or otherwise), was repatriated to Germany during the war (or otherwise).
Or just the city, full name, and age. The
main thing, is that they should be real
people who are familiar with the text.
MESSAGE TEXT
We, the last veterans and all the peoples of
Russia who survived that great and terrible
war, are now on the verge of death! Our
time is already running out. For a huge
part of our lives, we hoped we would
come to the end of it, in peace -
without all-destroying hatred!
For the painfully long decades after the Second World War, we overcame our righteous anger! I long for retribution for the innumerable wounds, spiritual and physical, that we still carry in our bodies and our hearts! And most of us have forgiven! And not in a small way due to the fact that Germany for many years has demonstrated its repentance its understanding of what it has done! And we have overcome, not only ourselves, but also the voice of the blood of our barbarically exterminated relatives! By whom? Germans ...fascists!
We have forgiven... following the laws of human
coexistence! So it was... until 2014. And then,
in 2014, when everything began in Ukraine...
we looked with hope at Germany and at the
then Chancellor Angela Merkel. We couldn't imagine that after all that the Germans did
in Ukraine, after Babi Yar, after mountains
of mutilated corpses, they would still look
with lust at the Ukrainian fields that can
feed Europe today! Or they, the Germans,
who have covered the Crimea they once
promised with blood, will still somehow be interested in turning the Crimea into an American and in general a NATO base, ideal for aggression against Russia! Which would be clearly
aimed at afuture war.
After all, only fools do not understand the meaning and goals of the entire coup inUkraine... in the conditions of which Russia behaved in the only possible way! But the Germans are not fools! We the Russians, know for certain your psychology, as "brothers in blood" - our blood, which you "prudently" shed in rivers!
We remember your "systematic methods of
population reduction"! Our population! Until
now, in different parts of our once united
Homeland, where the boot of German
fascism was trodden, we find hidden
mass graves of our civilians: in the
Novgorod region, in the Kuban, in
the Rostov region, in Karelia. In
Belarus, in 2021... hundreds of
civilian remains... were found
in Brest ...on the site of the
Jewish ghetto the Trostenets
concentration camp.... near
Minsk terrible in its tragedy
revealed the secret of the
remains... of thousands of
tortured and killed people!
We are talking about tens of thousands of newly discovered victims of Nazism! This blood - still cries out for revenge - and for decades the memory of the barbarously destroyed
Russian people, and monuments to Russian soldiers, liberators, have been desecrated with impunity!
And the new Nazis are marching in the Baltic
States and Ukraine, in front of the entire
"civilized" world! But in 2014, we were
sincerely convinced -- that in this new
Nazi demarche it's the Germans who
will be our associates in preventing
this meanness!
We hoped that, guided by an elementary
conscience, the Germans would not
participate.. in an obviously fascist
anti-state coup in Ukraine! After all
...the subsequent catastrophe of
modern Ukraine was committed
by direct descendants of those
who were special bastards in
the German army! Clearly,
openly!
Americans and Canadians have only hidden and preserved this diabolical heritage, feeding thisgeneration, but the product of this evil... is Germany! Hitler's Germany! And it was impossible for us to believe that it was Germany that would again give a "road map" to these inhumans! But we were wrong! Germany has once again allowed these fascist geeks to enter the world!
The support of modern Germany - in the face of
the new government of Ukraine-Bandera, the
heirs of the SS division " Galicia ", the thugs
of the UPA OUN and all other abominations;
is simply unthinkable for us! This is beyond
all that is human! But you, Germany, have already done it and continue to do it! You
have, once again, set your sights on the
Slavic world and these geeks are blood
from the blood of German Nazism! And
again to Russia!
Only, even more despicable: inciting our closest Ukrainian brothers against us! And you know it! You know this as well as we do! You killed one nation in that Great War! Yes, we are one people!
The truth is written and often spoken about
by your own Steinmeier, who at the same
time viciously took a direct part in the
Kiev coup of 2014 — fascist in fact!
This American may not be clear about some-
thing, but it's more than that, for you! And
after all, it was your vykormysh.. that got
ready.. for their torchlight processions in
Kiev! The living shadow of Nazi Germany
is behind all this. It was only temporarily
covered up by sly diplomacy — "helmets
instead of guns"! But that's it, "masks
are reset"! Your supply of German
weapons to Ukraine today, is
natural, it is in the logic of
your policy of recent
decades.
Today it is clearly pro-fascist! You have taken
this step: German weapons will kill Russians
again! Keep killing. During the years of the
conflict in the Donbas, your professional
killers have already killed Russians, at
least by teaching them... "how to kill
correctly"! Only now -- it's even more
despicable — you're teaching this to
- your blood brothers! Donbass is on
your conscience! Thousands of lives
of its peaceful citizens --- again your
handiwork! We do not care about the
role of Americans, in everything that
happens: there, is money-God! We,
veterans of that war, its children,
are concerned about the role of
the Germans! Because it is you
who know -- exactly -- who the
Ukrainian "national battalions"
consist of --- and could have
prevented and stopped, this
new fascism ! But they did
not do it! And just by doing
this — you are once again,
responsible to history!
And you are definitely participating -- in the
preparation of Ukraine for war with Russia!
You can't help but understand the purpose
of everything that happened --- from the
unconstitutional coup in Kiev ....to the
bloodshed in the Donbass! But, in fact
this is preparation for the Third World
War! And again, you are Germans...
Germany! We hear from the high
German rostrum in Berlin today:
"Russia will pay a high price"!!!
This is the German Chancellor's
speech! Unthinkable! We have
already paid the price — 27
million of our lives! Isn't that
enough for you?! What price
are you still talking about?
There is no home --- in Russia, Ukraine and
Belarus - where "this price" isn't paid! And
there is no home in Germany, that did
not participate in that terrible, bloody
barbarism! It's scary! It's wild! And
today, there are, already, more than
13 thousand dead Russian people
in the Donbass at the hands of
the new Nazis!
The German Chancellor's public mockery of the
Russian genocide in the Donbas is a crime in
itself! How much can the lessons of history
be misunderstood and discredited! The
scariest story in the world! Do you want
to be even scarier?! After all, this new
"Dranch nach Oschtern" ..may lead to
the fact that the 2nd Nuremberg trial
over you will no longer be - there will
simply be no humanity! You won't be
here! But a special Ecumenical trial
of you Germans is inevitable! Over
all aggressors — but over you
ESPECIALLY!
World justice will be served! And we, the last
veterans of that terrible war, are leaving this
world as witnesses! Witnesses for the
PROSECUTION! And today the victory
will be ours, but those who died
yesterday, or those of us who
will die today, already bear
witness to the role of the
German people, in the
history of the human
world — a bloody
history!
German weapons are back in the
hands of Nazi thugs! Please stop!

THE LATEST NEWS
Special forces of the Russian Armed
Forces staged a"Doomsday"for the
military of Ukraine's Armed Forces
March 31st, 1:35am
(Izvestia.ru)
Russian military personnel of the 24th separate special
purpose brigade conducted a successful operation
against the militants of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine (AFU), arranging a "Doomsday"
for them. This was reported
on March the 30th, by
Russkaya Vesna.
According to the publication, the Russian military opened
pinpoint fire on an identified group of Ukrainian militants.
As a result of the impact, it "significantly thinned out".
It is noted that special forces from Novosibirsk "sent
Ukrainian militants to Bandera", striking with anti-
tank guided missiles. Mortars and small arms
were also fired.
Earlier in the day, the official representative of the Russian
Defense Ministry, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov,
said that in the Donetsk direction, the Russian military
eliminated over 340 servicemen and mercenaries
during the day. In addition, he noted that two
tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles, six
armoured combat vehicles, nine
vehicles, one Uragan MLRS
installation --- as well as
D-20 & D-30 howitzers
were destroyed.

The expert spoke about the new
capabilities of the Russian
air defense system
March 31st, 1:30am
(Izvestia.ru)
The Russian air Defense Forces are accumulating
experience, building up infrastructure and
forming a layered defense, military
expert Vladislav Shurygin
told Izvestia.
So he commented on the latest air defense
successes in destroying enemy missiles,
planes, helicopters and UAVs.
"Most likely, a lot of time is devoted to early detection.
Additional radar stations are being deployed.
Alternative means of reconnaissance and
targeting may also be used. Such an
increase in capabilities suggests
that this is not a frozen dead
block, but a constantly
improving system,"
he explained.
Vladislav Shurygin also reminded
that planes are on duty in the air.
"Our fighter-interceptors also shoot down missiles well.
MiG-31s, when created, were sharpened to intercept
missiles. Perhaps there is a deployment of new air
defense positions, in addition to those that
already exist," he said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said on March 30th, that air
defenses in the Tula region provide "reliable cover." This
statement was made --- after the destruction of the
Ukrainian Tu-141 Strizh UAV, near the city of
Kireevsk, last week.
This grouping, according to the Russian Defense
Ministry, includes the S-300, Pantsir-S1 anti-
aircraft missile systems, as well as the
Field-21 electronic warfare systems.
All attacks on Crimea in March were repelled.
This week, Ukrainian ammunition that belongs to complex
targets was destroyed. On March the 30th, in the special
operation zone - for the first time - Russian air defense
intercepted a Ukrainian operational-tactical missile
"Grom-2".
Earlier, the Russian Air defense System also intercepted
for the first time a US guided GLSDB rocket munition —
a gliding bomb that can be launched using HIMARS
and MLRS multiple launch rocket systems.

NATO at Belarus’ door is threat
to Europe, not nuke weapons
in Belarus — Foreign Ministry
March 30th, 5:20pm, (TASS)
The deployment of new NATO forces near Belarus' borders,
is the real threat to European security, not Belarus keeping
Russia’s nuclear weapons on its territory, the country’s
Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
"Deployment of fresh NATO’s troops near the Belarus’ border
and further Alliance’s enlargement in Northern Europe are
an irresponsible escalation and key factors threatening
European security," reads the statement posted on
the ministry’s Twitter page.
Thus, the Belarusian Foreign Ministry commented on the
statement of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs
and Security Policy Josep Borrell, who asserted that
the stationing of Russian nuclear weapons in
Belarus is an "irresponsible escalation and
threat to European security." Borrell urged
Minsk to reverse this decision, saying that
otherwise the EU was ready to respond...
with new sanctions.
The training of Belarusian pilots capable of flying aircraft with
specific munitions and the deployment of nuclear weapons on
the territory of Belarus in no way contradicts international
law, in particular the provisions of the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Belarusian
Foreign Ministry pointed out earlier.
This practice is not new in the sphere of military cooperation
between a nuclear and non-nuclear state, it said, reiterating
that NATO ---has long been using the practice of
"nuclear sharing."
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on March 25 that,
at Minsk’s request, Moscow would deploy its tactical nuclear
weapons in Belarus, similar to what the United States has
been doing for some time on the territories of its allies.
Russia has already transferred the nuclear-capable Iskander
missile system to Belarus. A storage facility for tactical
nuclear weapons should be built by July 1st, the
Russian leader added.

March 30th, 4:46pm
(al Manar)
The Israeli enemy has intensified its measures against
the Palestinians in Hawara, closing stores and
checking pedestrians, as well as cars.
Hawara mayor Moaeen Damide indicated that the Zionist
occupation forces closed the town’s checkpoint - as
well as the roads which lead to the main highway.
Damide added that the enemy managed to paralyze the
public movement in Hawara town, noting that only the
vehicles of the occupation forces and settlers cross
the highway.
Abdul Rahman Al-Zitawi, a local store owner, said that
customers have not reached his store... for two days,
blaming the Zionist measures which disregard the
sanctity of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Hawara locals are also obliged to guard their houses and
neighbourhoods, in face of the possible attacks of the
settlers guarded by the occupation forces.

UK says AFU unable to
use Challenger 2 tanks
March 30th, 3:26pm
https://en.news-front.info/
The British Defence Minister has said that the Ukrainian army
will not be able to use Challenger 2 tanks in combat
because Ukrainian soldiers are not able to
operate the British equipment.
Kiev “still has to undergo quite considerable training” before
the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be ready to use Challenger
2 tanks on the battlefield. UK Defence Secretary Ben
Wallace has made this statement.
He noted that Ukrainian military leaders would need to put a
serious emphasis on training soldiers in the use of British
military equipment.
“Ukraine’s military leadership needs to exercise and train in
combat at the brigade or battlegroup level – to fight in the
manner of NATO or the Western way,” the
British minister said.
Ukrainian officials have previously published a number of
photos showing Challenger 2 tanks. According to some
politicians, the combat vehicles are already on the
territory of Ukraine. At the same time, there is no reliable information about the number of
imported vehicles.

Media: Xi Jinping sayshe is
preparing China for a
possible major war
March 30th 2:13pm
https://en.news-front.info/
Xi Jinping has said that China’s people and army must be
prepared.. for a major war. China’s leader is quoted by
Foreign Affairs magazine as saying. In recent months
Beijing has unveiled new military preparedness laws,
new bomb shelters in cities across the Taiwan Strait
and new “Mobilisation for National Defence” offices
across the country.
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Chinese people
must be fully prepared for a possible major war. Chinese
President Xi Jinping stated this at the annual meeting
of the parliament, Foreign Affairs magazine reports.
The article drew attention to the content of the chairman’s
four speeches during the sessions, in which he said he
was “preparing China for war”, also urging PLA
generals “not to be afraid to fight and make
difficult decisions”.
“In the face of wars that may be imposed on us, we must speak
to our enemies in a language they understand and use victory
to win peace and respect. In the new era, the PLA insists on
the use of military force to end hostilities,” Xi Jinping said
in an essay published ahead of the March meetings of
China’s parliament.
Under the PRC leader’s decree, new military commissariats and
assembly points are being opened across China from December
2022 for the PLA so that Beijing can “activate its reserve
forces as soon as possible and institutionalise a system
to replenish combat units in case of war,” according
to the story.

Well-known lawyer to go on trial in
Ukraine for supporting Donbass
March 30th, 1:36pm (DAN)
Ukrainian prosecutors have passed an indictment
against lawyer Tatyana Montyan to a court, the
Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office said
on Thursday.
“The Office of the Prosecutor General has referred to a court
an indictment against a Ukrainian citizen who is a lawyer, ”
Ukrainian prosecutors said. They did not name the
defendant but the photo posted with the report,
is that of Montyan.
“According to the investigators, the lawyer has regularly
spoken out on the socio-political situation in Ukraine
since March 2022 using so-called propaganda
channels... giving ideological substantiation
to the existence of the Donbass Republics
and allegedly making public calls for a
violent change... or the overthrow of
the constitutional order of Ukraine.”
Tatyana Montyan visited the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s
Republics several times. In the course of her trip to
Donetsk in December 2014, she said that the
economic blockade of the region by Kiev -
and its refusal to pay retirement benefits
to its residents was “genocide.”
Montyan also expressed her support of the local population
and called for direct dialogue with Donbass which was the
cornerstone of the Minsk Agreements on a peaceful
conflict settlement.
In February 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)
charged Montyan with “actions aimed at violent change
or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of
power, encroachment on territorial integrity and
inviolability of Ukraine, and collaborationism.”

the West’s still undelivered tanks was called the final “cry
for help” by Association of Military Political Scientists
expert, Oleg Glazunov.
Recall, the head of the Ukrainian state again loudly complained
that the tanks promised by the sponsors did not, alas, reach
the “non-independence”.
“He wants more military aid and he wants modern equipment.
But no one will give it to him – everyone understands that
Ukraine has already lost. They are giving him the
equipment they don’t need – old, technically
obsolete, broken,” the political
expert noted.
“The situation for Zelensky’s regime
is getting worse every day,”
Glazunov added.
“I think these are his last cries for help. Zelensky was counting
on him to be supplied with modern high-end equipment in
sufficient quantity. But no one will supply it to him,
because everyone understands... that this
equipment will fall into Russia’s hands,
while other countries have their own
secrets and their latest weapons.”
Zelensky said earlier that an EU country had
sent Ukraine a faulty air defence system.
“It didn’t work, and we had to change it over and over
again,” the head of the criminal regime frankly told
the Associated Press.
“The EU’s military-technical resource is completely exhausted –
they are sending Ukraine outright junk. It is noteworthy that
while regularly heating up the topic of support for Kiev, the
West does not hesitate to supply “non-independent” on
credit,” the military expert, FSB General Aleksandr
Mikhailov, said earlier.
A number of European countries have repeatedly made
statements about sending used weapons, equipment
or spare parts to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, according to military expert Faiz al-Asmar, the
Ukrainian crisis has provided a new opportunity, to two
groups of states. The developed countries, led by the
United States, have found a chance to test weapons,
while the neighbouring Eastern European states --
have a great opportunity to use up their existing
stockpiles -- by getting rid of equipment
accumulated in warehouses.
Some of the samples were produced decades
ago, during the time of the Soviet Union.

Ukraine’s military...losing 500
troops daily near Artyomovsk,
says LPR officer
March 30th, 7:46am (TASS)
The Ukrainian military is daily losing 500 fighters in the area of
Artyomovsk (called Bakhmut in Ukraine), Lugansk People’s
facilities and command posts," the press office said in a statement.
The data recording equipment used during the exercise
revealed that all the targets were successfully
destroyed, it said.
During the drills, the military command of a group of mobile
command posts.. practiced stealthy command and control
of troops. In addition the missile personnel operated amid notional radioactive and chemical contamination of the
terrain... and also repelled an attack - by the enemy’s
subversive/reconnaissance groups.
An unmanned aerial vehicle helped the missile troops ferret
out terrain, in order to change positions and uncover any
stealthy enemy subversive groups, it said.
The drills involved about 50 personnel and about 10 pieces
of military and special hardware, the press office said.
The Iskander-M tactical missile system... is designed to strike
an adversary's low-sized and site targets... from a range of up
to 500 km: missile launchers, multiple launch rocket systems
long-range artillery, aircraft and helicopters at aerodromes,
command posts and communications centres.

Putin neutralized Warsaw with
Russian nuclear weapons
in Belarus – expert
March 28th, 2:47pm
https://en.news-front.info/
The deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus
destroys the provocative plans of Warsaw and its neighbours in
relation to Moscow, military expert Alexei Leonkov is sure.
According to the analyst, the speech of the head of the Russian
state was not accidental and showed a clear focus on
potential provocateurs near the western borders
of the Union State.
“Some hotheads in Poland and the Baltics have the idea... that
there could be a war between Poland and Belarus, the Baltics
and Belarus, if Western countries act outside the bloc. And
they are given to understand that if such a conflict occurs
on the territory of Belarus, on the territory of which our
nuclear facility is located, then we have every right,
according to our main document ------ the basics of
nuclear deterrence policy, according to military doctrine ------ to use nuclear weapons in the aggressor country. --- Fast, that’s all.''
''Formally, we did not have such a reason. Now we have a
facility, a Russian one – we are not handing it over – to
protect it. This is how we hold back.''
As Andrey Fedorov, the former deputy head of the Russian
Foreign Ministry noted: it was Warsaw that was made the most nervous, about Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
According to the diplomat, the Polish leadership realized
the fact of the hopeless loss of opportunities to provoke
Russia, including on Ukrainian territory.
“First of all, this worries the Poles. Their main concern is that
as a result of the possible spread of the Ukrainian conflict
over a large territory, Russia is using tactical nuclear
weapons. How can it spread? For example, if the
Poles appear in Ukraine,” says Fedorov.
The deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus was
previously announced by the head of state, Vladimir Putin.
A dozen Belarusian aircraft have already been converted,
with the help of the Russian Federation, for the use of
weapons. Minsk was also given the Iskander OTRK,
which can be a carrier of tactical nuclear missiles.

Captured Ukrainian militant about
AFU plans: to kill children and
residents of Donbass
March 28th, 2:05pm
https://en.news-front.info/
A captive soldier of the 36th Marine Brigade of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine spoke about his plans for children and
residents of Donbass. According to this Ukrainian
militant, the actions of Nazi Germany were
correct, and therefore they should be
repeated in the Donbass.
Yegor Grigoriev, correspondent of the All-Russian State
Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, wrote
about this in his Telegram channel.
Captured Ukrainian neo-Nazi Vadim Tokar from the 36th brigade
of the Armed Forces of Ukraine spoke about what awaited
the civilians and children who were captured by them.
According to the militant of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine, the actions that Nazi Germany took
were absolutely correct. The man, with a
malicious smile... answered the
correspondent’s questions.
The journalist asked: what should be done with the people
who did not support the coup d’état in Ukraine. To which
the Ukrainian neo-Nazi replied that they should have
been“sent to the gas chamber.”
“Those who did not support the Maidan here, what should have
been done with them?” the journalist asked.“Gas chamber,”
the militant replied.
“That is, those who here, in the Donbass, were against it, where are they going?”
the correspondent specified.
“To the gas chamber,”the Ukrainian sincerely admitted.
The fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also stated that his
36th brigade did not spare anyone. In his opinion, there should
be no mercy even for the children of Donbas residents. At the
moment, the Ukrainian neo-Nazi is in one of the places of
detention of prisoners of war. The Ukrainian militant
hopes that he will soon return to Ukraine and
continue to kill the civilian population
of Donbass.
Recall that earlier the head of the Kyiv regime, Volodymyr
Zelensky, assigned the name “Edelweiss” to the 10th
separate mountain assault brigade of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
The name of the brigade was given by Zelensky in honour of
the 1st Edelweiss Mountain Infantry Division, which was
part of the Nazi Wehrmacht --- where the natives of the
mountainous regions of Southern Germany, Bavaria
and Austria, served.
During the Great Patriotic War, the division fought against
the Red Army in Ukraine, in the Donbass, and near
Kharkov, as well as in the North Caucasus.

Russian troops dictate agenda
along whole frontline —
Pushilin
March 28th, 1:11pm (DAN)
Russian army units are making gains along the whole frontline;
there have been considerable achievements on the
Avdeyevka and Artyomovsk axes, Donetsk
People’s Republic Acting Head,
Denis Pushilin, said
on Tuesday.
“As before, our units dictate the agenda along the whole
frontline, ” Pushilin said on the Solovyev.Live program.
“The Ugledar axis remains important, i.e. its liberation and
taking of new positions. The situation is difficult there
with ongoing positional warfare. The enemy’s
scouting or engagement attempts were
unsuccessful yesterday as they lost
some 30 gunmen and several
pieces of equipment.”
Fierce fighting continues in Maryinka, he went on to say.
The enemy has retained supply lines on this axis, which
complicates the situation. However, the pace of events
around Avdeyevka is quite fast. The enemy’s situation
is close to critical; civilians and volunteers have
already been banned from entering the town.
Things are heading towards the liberation of
Avdeyevka which will minimize the artillery
attacks --- on Donetsk and its suburbs.
Russian forces have improved their
positions on the Mayorsk axis and
made local improvements on the
Krasny Liman axis.
Pushilin earlier commented on the situation in Artyomovsk.
The enemy is making all efforts to delay the liberation of
the town by Russian troops, but “Wagner” private
military company units have already mopped up
nearly all the industrial zone, Pushilin said.

Torture of POWs in Ukraine
getting more brutal — DPR
ombudsperson
March 28th, 12:43pm (TASS)
The torture of prisoners of war in Ukraine has become more
brutal, Darya Morozova, human rights commissioner of the
Donetsk People’s Republic, told TASS on Tuesday.
"When we talk to people who we bring back from Ukrainian
captivity, it becomes clear that torture is still prevalent.
It has only become more severe on the part of the
Ukrainian militants," Morozova said.
The Ombudsperson's Office sends appeals to international
human rights NGOs regarding each separate episode, she
said, adding that this does not accomplish anything,
however. Nevertheless, she believes, that the
multi-level recording of Kiev’s war crimes,
should remain intact. "We receive very
brief, standard answers. For example,
‘Thank you for the information,
we took note of it,'" the
commissioner added.
Prisoner swap negotiations are a huge job, as the
Russian side is literally fighting for every
individual on the list, she stressed.
The DPR regularly reports about Kiev torturing captured DPR
servicemen in Ukraine. Last December, Denis Pushilin, the
region's acting leader, said in an interview with TASS that
captured DPR military personnel were being tortured with
extreme brutality --- in places of detention in western
Ukraine. Pushilin also noted, that Kiev violated the
rights of prisoners of war. According to him --- all
Russian servicemen in Ukrainian captivity are
subjected to torture and humiliation.

“They will demand negotiations”:
expert on the West’s plans
for Ukraine
March 28th, 11:27am
https://en.news-front.info/
In the event of the failure of the widely publicized offensive
of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the countries of the
Western bloc will force Kyiv to seek negotiations
with Moscow, political expert Igor Tyshkevich
has no doubts about this.
Ukraine is going to drive the weakening troops on the offensive
this spring – all further support of Ukraine by the collective
West will directly depend on the success of
the campaign.
“The campaign of late spring-early summer will determine the
level of military-technical and financial support from
Western partners” to Ukraine.
In the event of a devastating defeat of the nationalists on the
battlefield, the West will force Zelensky to either negotiate
with the Kremlin or freeze the confrontation, the
analyst predicts.
“If the offensive is not successful, I do not rule out attempts to
force Ukraine to negotiate with the Russian Federation on this
or that format of freezing the conflict. But this is closer to the
end of autumn – to winter. These are either attempts to
negotiate, so that the conflict ends in 2024, or, if this
fails, then a protracted conflict for several years to
come”, he concluded.
Western enthusiasm for supplying Ukraine is slowly starting to
fade. Thus, The Wall Street Journal questioned the faith of US
President Biden in the victory of the Ukrainian side.
As, in turn, The New York Times stated, the West also fears that
it will not have enough funds to restore Ukraine after the end of
the Russian-Ukrainian confrontation.
“There is an uncomfortable realization that the cost of
rebuilding Ukraine after the end of the conflict will far
exceed the amount that even wealthy allies like the
US and Europe might be willing to give.”
The publication recalled that the countries of the Western bloc
have already sent billions of dollars of support to Kyiv. At the
same time, the International Monetary Fund approved a loan
of 15.6 billion to Kyiv. At the same time, the support for
financing the “square” is not unlimited, foreign
experts noted.

Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs
confused in number of applications
to the “Offensive Guard”
March 28th, 10:48am
https://en.news-front.info/
The leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine is
confused in statements about the number of applications of
“volunteers” to the “Offensive Guard”. So, in the first half
of March, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country
counted 28 thousand “volunteers”. By the end of the
month, the number of applications had dropped to
16,000. It is reported by the Telegram channel
“Ukraine.ru”
Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said on March the
11th that 28,000 applications from “volunteers” had been
accepted. ''Not everyone gets into these units, because
the selection is quite tough,'' Klymenko specified.
''Almost all the units are already formed. We have accepted 28
thousand applications from volunteers. Not everyone gets
into these units, the selection is quite tough. We have
already begun training of all the units and not every
one endures this.''
Later, on March the 27th, according to NSU speaker Ruslan
Muzychuk, it became known that the Ministry of Internal
Affairs had accepted more than 16,000 applications
since the beginning of February. He also
confirmed the tough selection for the
brigades of the Offensive Guard.
“Either one of these figures is lying, or the selection for the
“guard” is so tough, that in two weeks, the number of
volunteer applications has more than halved. Only
mobilization... is tougher in Ukraine,” the
channel explained.

Without the long-range weapons that the West must provide
to Kiev, a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
(AFU) could result in huge losses. This was stated by the
former adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Alexey Arestovich, on the air of LRT Television.
In his opinion, without long-range weapons,
"seas of blood" will be spilled in Ukraine.
At the same time, he predicted that the decision to grant it to
Kiev, most likely, will not be made until the summer of 2023,
that is, before the planned NATO summit in Vilnius in July.
At the same time, Arestovich noted, a counteroffensive

The Ukrainian militarypointed to ---
the almost complete encirclement
of Artemivsk by the Russian
Armed Forces
March 27th, 5:58pm
(Izvestia.ru)
Russian units have almost completely surrounded Artemivsk
(Ukrainian name-Bakhmut), said on March 27, the ex-
commander of the company of the Ukrainian
battalion "Aidar" Evgeny Dikiy.
"If Bakhmut is now somewhere on 4/5 in the ring, then
Avdiivka is still half," the publication quotes him as
saying in Страна.иа.
He also noted that Russian military personnel have
made significant progress in the area of Avdiivka.
According to Dikiy, the Russian Armed Forces are trying
to repeat at Avdiivka what worked with Artemivsk —
encirclement and cutting roads.
Deft pause: Artyomovsk prepares for a decisive assault.
The lull will come to an end after cleaning up the
liberated neighbourhoods and preparing the rear, experts say.
Earlier in the day, retired Lieutenant Colonel of the People's
Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic Andriy Marochko,
announced the transfer of elite units of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine - to Artemivsk.
He also mentioned that Kiev continues to suffer
serious losses in the battles for this city.
On March 25th, the British newspaper The Sunday Times
reported -- that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing
from 100 to 200 soldiers a day, in the battles for Artemivsk.
The publication suggested that the severity of the
losses... may push Kiev to leave the city.
In turn, retired US Marine Intelligence officer Scott Ritter
noted on March the 23rd, that if Ukrainian troops lose
Artemivsk, it will bring the end of both the entire
Ukrainian army and President of Ukraine,
Volodymyr Zelensky, closer.
Speaking about the situation in Avdiivka, adviser to the acting
head of the DPR Yan Gagin noted on March 25 that there are
all prerequisites for the fact that the locality will be in an
operational environment.
The special operation to protect the Donbass, which Russian
President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24th, 2022,
continues. The decision was made against the background
of the aggravation of the situation in the region ,
due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.

The media learned about - the training
of APU tankers in the use of depleted
uranium shells
March 27th, 5:40pm
(Izvestia.ru)
Declassified UK: in Britain, the Ukrainian military was
trained in the use of depleted uranium ammunition.
British instructors trained Ukrainian tank crews in the use
of depleted uranium ammunition. This was reported on
Monday, March 27th, by the Declassified UK portal.
The authors of the material pointed out that in the documentary
film of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain, published the
day before, Ukrainian soldiers were filmed next to depleted
uranium ammunition, the supply of which, to Ukraine,
London reported earlier.
The footage shows how the corresponding shells are laid out on
a table with other types of ammunition, and tankers of the
Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), listen to a lecture by US
and British soldiers. The text accompanying this video
says that "instructors are beginning to introduce
Ukrainian gunners, loaders and commanders to
the types of ammunition for the Challenger 2
tank." It is also noted that a shell filled with
depleted uranium.. is standard ammunition
for tanks that the UK transfers to Ukraine.
When detonated, these munitions turn to dust,
which cannot be collected and deactivated.
On March 21st, British Deputy Defense Minister Annabel
Goldie, announced plans to supply ammunition
containing depleted uranium to Kiev.
Commenting on this decision, Russian Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, noted that the use
of depleted uranium shells in Ukraine --- will have
large-scale consequences for the whole world.
On March 24th, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov noted that
Goldie's statements sound particularly cynical before the
anniversary of the bombing of Yugoslavia, where they
were used.
Later, on March 25th, Russian President Vladimir Putin said
that Russia would respond to the use of depleted uranium
ammunition - if this happens. At the same time --- he said
that Moscow and Minsk agreed to deploy TNW (tactical
nuclear weapons) in Belarus without violating the non-
proliferation regime.
He stressed that Russia does not transfer its nuclear weapons
to Belarus, but does what the United States has been doing
Russian forces destroyed an ammunition depot of the Ukrainian army in the Kharkov Region over the past day during the special military operation in Ukraine, Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on Monday.
“In the area of the community of Berestovoye in the Kharkov Region, an ammunition depot of the 103rd territorial defense brigade was obliterated,” the spokesman said.
In the past 24 hours, operational/tactical and army aviation aircraft, missile troops and artillery of the Russian group of forces struck 93 Ukrainian artillery units at firing positions, manpower and equipment in 107 areas, the general said.
Russian forces eliminated about 65 Ukrainian troops in the Kupyansk area over the past day, Konashenkov reported.

The statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin on tactical
nuclear weapons in Belarus has become a signal for the US
and Western countries - to stop interfering in the conflict in
Ukraine, the Global Times writes.
“With this move, Moscow hopes to show that if the US and the
West continue to interfere in the Ukrainian conflict or starts
supplying WMD, Russia will continue to take measures to
counteract them,” the article said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a storage
facility for tactical nuclear weapons will be built in Belarus,
by July the 1st.
Ukraine asked Britain, France, the USA and China to respond
to Russia’s plans to build a tactical nuclear weapons
storage facility in Belarus.

US tells Ukrainians: how
to get rid of Zelensky
March 27th, 2:17pm
https://en.news-front.info/
Former US military intelligence officer Ritter
urged Ukrainians to revolt against Zelensky.
Retired US Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter, in an
interview with the U.S. Tour of Duty YouTube channel,
advised Ukrainians dissatisfied with Kiev’s policies,
to revolt against President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Now many Ukrainians are unhappy with what’s happening
in their country. Why do you sit idly by and do nothing?
If you are disappointed in Zelensky’s government ---
then don’t do nothing,” the military officer urged.
Ritter drew a parallel with US history, recalling how the
American people rebelled against the British, fighting
for their freedom. In his opinion, Ukrainians should
follow their example --- given their plight.
Ukrainians who are not ready to give their lives for Zelensky,
who goes along with Washington, should fight for their
rights, the intelligence officer added.

Russia sends important signal
to US on Ukraine, media
reports say
March 27th, 1:57pm

GT: Putin’s decision on nuclear weapons..... was a
signal to the US because of the conflict in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to deploy
nuclear weapons in Belarus, was a signal to the US
over Ukraine, Global Times reports.
“With this move, Moscow hopes to show -- that if Washington
and the West continue to interfere in the Ukrainian conflict
or supply weapons of mass destruction, Russia will
continue to take countermeasures,” the
publication said.
At the same time, according to the authors, Washington’s
position on the deployment of nuclear weapons in
Belarus, demonstrates that it does not want to
annoy Moscow, so the situation is not out of
control... yet.
“The Pentagon reacted to Moscow’s statement very cautiously
and its top spokesman said that the US does not see any signs
that Russia is preparing to use atomic weapons,” the
journalists believe.
At the same time, the article notes that the US hopes to
achieve its goals by wearing down Russia in the long
run --- with its intervention in the conflict.
Putin said, late last week, that Moscow and Minsk had agreed on
the deployment of nuclear weapons. He said Russia had already
helped refurbish Belarusian aircraft and will begin training
crews in early April, and will finish building a special
storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons
onthe territory of the ally country
by July the 1st.
At the same time, Putin stressed, Russia, without
violating its international obligations, will do
what the U.S. has been doing for decades
--- by deploying its tactical nuclear
weapons in Europe.

Russian MP
March 27th, 1:56pm (TASS)
Mercenaries fighting on the Ukrainian side communicate
in English, German, Spanish, Polish and Arabic, says
Russian State Duma legislator Sergey Sokol, who
takes part in the special military operation.
"[Conversations are intercepted in Donbass] in English,
German, sometimes in Spanish, often in Polish, and
even in Arabic," Sokol told TASS on Monday.
He noted that when captured, foreign mercenaries often change
their tune about taking part in the conflict and complain about
conditions on the front lines. "It seems that they expected
this to be just military tourism: to come, hang out, show
off, get some money, and then leave. It turns out....
everything is much more serious for them than
they imagine," Sokol stressed.
The presence of foreign mercenaries in the Ukrainian army has
been reported since last spring, with Polish mercenaries being
