All-Russia is moving to liberation

Watch this film --- and you

Some in the West are fond
of a loose use of words...
 
''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!

WHY THE WAR BETWEEN
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE 
BEGAN.

THE TRAGEDY IN UKRAINE
 
"Veterans and children of the Great Patriotic War:
to the Government 
and people of 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 coordinates indicated
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 a future war. 
 
After all, only fools do not understand the meaning and
goals of the entire coup in 
Ukraine... 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 this 
generation, 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.

Zelenskiy will flee to Israel --- so that the

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.

Israeli Occupation Forces
Impose 
Hellish Measures
---- on Hawara Town 
in Southern Nablus 
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 says he 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.”

https://en.news-front.info/
 
The Chinese army is ready to strengthen cooperation with the
 Russian Armed Forces in accordance with the agreements of
 the leaders of the two countries, Chinese Defense Ministry 
spokesman Tan Kefei said, during a briefing.
 
“The Chinese army is ready to make efforts together with the
 Russian army to fully implement the consensus reached by
 the leaders of the two states - to further strengthen their
strategic coordination and communication,and deepen
 mutual trust in the military sphere,” the 
spokesman said.
 
Kefei added that China is ready to conduct joint maritime 
and air patrols and exercises with Russia. The 
relationship between Russia and China is 
not a politico-military alliance in the 
Cold War sense, the defence 
ministry spokesman 
continued.
 
“Russian-Chinese relations --- are superior to 
such a model of state relations,” he clarified.
 
He pointed out that we are talking about non-alignment 
with blocs, the absence of confrontation, the relations 
are not aimed against third countries.
 
The Chinese military is ready to work with the Russian 
military to defend international justice and fairness, 
the Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman 
concluded.

Situation around Avdeyevka develops 
rapidly, DPR head Pushilin says
March 30th, 1:24pm (TASS) 
 
The situation around the Kiev-controlled city of Avdeyevka 
north of Donetsk is developing rapidly, with Russian forces 
advancing towards it from several directions 
simultaneously, Acting DPR Head, Denis 
Pushilin, said Thursday.
 
"The Avdeyevka situation is developing rather rapidly; our 
boys advance from several directions. There are certain
 successes on Krasnogorovka [north of Avdeyevka] and 
Pervomayskoye [west of Avdeyevka] directions," he 
said on Russian TV.
 
He noted that the situation of the Ukrainian group 
in the city ------- is becoming increasingly difficult.
 
"We’ve seen that the situation inside Avdeyevka is 
escalating. The enemy --- according to its own 
statement, barred entry to the city both for 
civilians, reporters and volunteers," 
Pushilin explained.
 
Avdeyevka is a city with a population of 30,000 people. 
During the conflict in Donbass, the city, occupied by 
Ukrainian forces, was turned into one of the main
 fortification areas. Ukrainian forces fire at 
Donetsk, Makeyevka, Yasinovataya and 
the surrounding area --- from there.

“Kiev has already lost”: Glazunov 
mocked Zelensky’s hopes for
 NATO equipment
March 30th, 10:58am
https://en.news-front.info/
 
Ukrainian regime head Volodymyr Zelensky’s hysteria, over 
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 
Republic (LPR) people’s militia retired Lieutenant-Colonel 
Andrey Marochko said, on Thursday.
 
"In my estimates, about 500 personnel daily [as casualties] 
there [in the Artyomovsk area]. These are both sanitary 
and irretrievable losses," the retired officer said, in a
 live broadcast on Komsomolskaya Pravda radio.
 
The Ukrainian military experiences a shortage of fighters 
due to huge casualties.. and continues replenishing its 
troops, Marochko said.
 
"It continues replenishing the losses that the 
Ukrainian army is suffering," the retired 
officer said.
 
Marochko told TASS on March 27th that the Ukrainian 
military had lost as many as 1,500 soldiers in battles 
with Russian forces in the Artyomovsk area, over 
the week.
 
Artyomovsk is located on the Kiev-controlled part 
of the Donetsk People’s Republic and is a major 
transportation hub for the Ukrainian army’s 
supplies in Donbass. Fierce fighting for 
the city is underway.
 
Yan Gagin, military-political expert and adviser to the acting 
head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), said on March 
the 22nd, that the city had been practically sealed off by 
Russian forces and all approaches to Artyomovsk are 
under Russian artillery control. He earlier said that 
Russian forces controlled about 70% of the city.
 
Acting DPR Head Denis Pushilin has repeatedly said that 
there is no evidence - of the Ukrainian army’s plans to 
leave Artyomovsk. Meanwhile...  Kiev claims that the 
city’s defense will be bolstered. Ukrainian President 
Vladimir Zelensky earlier said that Ukrainian troops
would not surrender Artyomovsk and would fight 
for it   ... for as long as they could.

Nice try: Russian intelligence wise 
to Kiev’s tricks of moving identical 
equipment — LPR
March 30th, 7:32am (TASS)
 
The units of Ukraine’s armed forces are attempting to 
mislead Russian intelligence by moving military 
equipment with identical license tags on the 
Seversk front, LPR People's Militia retired 
Lieutenant Colonel Andrey Marochko
 told TASS.
 
"In a number of populated localities on the Seversk front, 
identical Ukrainian military convoys are being observed. 
It's noted that in a short span of time tellingly, the same 
military vehicles and armoured equipment of Ukrainian 
armed formations are passing [through communities]. 
The vehicles have the same license plates and the 
towed howitzers... have identical distinctive 
identifying features acquired during use,"
 he said, citing the Russian 
intelligence data.
 
The military expert suggested that these convoys 
are being moved intentionally - in order to 
"confuse Russian intelligence."

 UN spokesperson raises eyebrows 
by denying US military presence 
in Syria
March 29th, 4:06pm
(PressTV)
 
A United Nations spokesperson has raised eyebrows 
by denying the US military presence in Syria and 
obfuscating facts about Washington's war 
crimes in the Arab country after he was 
grilled by a Chinese journalist.
 
Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General 
Antonio Guterres, made the inflammatory remarks on 
Tuesday after a Chinese reporter tossed a question 
about the legality of the US military presence 
in Syria.
 
Haq first tried to dodge the question, saying it was not 
an issue the world body is “dealing with at this stage.”
 
But the reporter, China Global Television Network’s Xu Dezhi, 
prodded him about the American military presence in Syria 
and drew a stark comparison between the situation in 
Syria and Ukraine.
 
That prompted Haq to deny the US military presence in Syria. 
“There are no US armed forces inside of Syria. And so I don't 
have a… It's not a parallel situation to some of the others,” 
he said.
 
When asked by the journalist if he’s sure there’s no military 
personnel in Syria, Haq replies, “I believe there's military 
activity.  But, in terms of a ground presence in Syria, 
I'm not aware of that.”
 
The strange exchange, has gone viral on twitter, 
with users expressing awe and wonder at the 
UN spokesperson denying a US presence 
in Syria.  


Haq has been serving as a deputy spokesperson 
for the UN secretary general for almost a decade.
 
A user tried to a make fun of Haq, saying there’s 
military activity in Syria but no US armed forces.
 
Some twitter users...  accused him of 
being biased in favour of Washington.
 
Independent Australian journalist Caitlin
Johnstone 
said it would be great if all
officials were
 interrogated by
reporters like this.
 
 Some users said this is another evidence of the UN 
being just an extension of the Western powers.
 
 And another user said the Chinese journalist should
have asked questions about US stealing Syria’s oil.
 
 The US currently has hundreds of troops in Syria. 
Washington claims its forces are there to fight 
remnants of the Daesh terrorist group and 
protect Syria’s energy resources.
 
The Syrian government, however, says the troops are 
occupiers, & are looting its oil and other resources.

Only 20% of US financial aid 
for Ukraine goes to Kiev, 
lawmaker says
 March 29th, 2:26pm (TASS)
 
 Washington hands over only about 20% of financial aid
 allocated for Ukraine directly to Kiev, with about 60% 
of this money, being received by the US side itself, 
head of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs 
Michael McCaul said during a Committee 
hearing, Wednesday.
 
"Of the $113 billion appropriated across four supplementals, 
approximately 60% is going to American troops, American 
workers and modernizing American stockpiles. In fact, 
only 20% of the funding is going directly to the 
Ukrainian government in the form of direct 
budgetary assistance," the 
lawmaker said.
 
He pointed out that, when the Republicans gained majority in
 the House after mid-term elections in November last year, 
they made it clear that accountability would have key
 importance for continued aid to Ukraine.
 
The current House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) warned 
last Autumn - that the Republicans would not allow the
allocation of unlimited and not thoroughly justified 
aid to Ukraine.

Members of military commissariat
 threaten to send parishioners of 
UOC to join the ranks of AFU
March 29th, 10:36am
https://en.news-front.info/
 
Parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are not allowed
 to go to the temple, but they can be mobilized into the Armed 
Forces of Ukraine and sent to the Bakhmut meat grinder. 
This is reported by the Telegram channel “Dill fresh”.
 
According to the data received, it is known that the employees
 of the Territorial Recruitment Centre (TCC) are using another 
scandal around the religious schism in order to distribute
 summonses to the front line among people. 
 
The employees of military registration and enlistment offices
 are very comfortable with mass gatherings of people in 
various places.
 
It is noted that in Chernivtsi, the police stopped two buses with
 pilgrims who were heading to the Pochaev Monastery. They
 were stopped under the pretext of a ban on unauthorized
 rallies under martial law.
 
As a result: the buses were confiscated -- in favour of Ukrainian
 militants. The driver was summoned to the military registration
 and enlistment office, and several believers received summons
 to the front line to be sent to Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).
 
Recall that the campaign to discredit and ban the canonical 
Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) continues in Ukraine. 
 
Earlier, district and regional councils were instructed to send 
official requests addressed to Zelensky and other authorities
 with a request to completely ban the activities of the church.

Special operation’s goals in Ukraine
 to be achieved — Security Council’s 
secretary
March 29th, 8:18am (TASS) 
 
All the declared goals of the special military operation will be
 achieved despite increasing military assistance to Ukraine 
from the West, the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, 
Nikolay Patrushev, said, at a meeting with his counter
parts from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s
 member-countries in New Delhi on Wednesday.
 
"Despite steadily growing military support for Ukraine from
 the United States and other Western nations - all declared 
goals of the special military operation will certainly be 
achieved. We will bring about the demilitarization and 
denazification of Ukraine and ensure Russia’s
 territorial integrity and the security of our
 population," Patrushev said.
 
He pointed out that the SCO member-states were well familiar 
with the concrete manifestations of destructive actions by
 Western countries: interference in the internal affairs of
 sovereign countries and their policies of unilateral 
sanctions and restrictive measures. In his opinion 
the most vivid example of the Americans and 
their satellites’ pursuit of world hegemony
is the crisis in Ukraine they've provoked.
 
"Ukrainian military servicemen are being actively trained on the
 territory of NATO states. About 50 countries that make up the 
so-called Ramstein coalition are involved in the armed 
conflict on the side of the Kiev regime," Patrushev 
pointed out.
 
He stressed that it was extremely important for the SCO
 member-states to preserve their own customs and 
traditions, to uphold universal human values and 
to prevent the destructive manifestations of 
Western policies.

Ukraine’s military using agricultural 
machinery for ammo delivery in 
Kupyansk, says LPR
March 29th, 8:11am (TASS) 
 
The Ukrainian army units stationed in the Kupyansk area, 
are using agricultural machinery to disguise ammunition 
deliveries, Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) people’s 
militia (rtd) Lieutenant-Colonel Andrey Marochko
 told TASS on Wednesday.
 
"In the Kupyansk direction... Ukrainian militants are using 
grain trucks under the guise of spring field work to carry 
ammunition. Farms have been compelled to provide their 
vehicles," the retired officer said, citing Russian
 intelligence data.
 
As Marochko earlier told TASS, additional Ukrainian 
engineer units arrived at the Kupyansk frontline to 
help the Kiev regime’s troops lay minefields and 
equip new positions along the Oskol River.

Zelensky says his nation... may push 
for compromises with Russia unless
 it wins in Artyomovsk
March 29th, 6:55am 
(TASS)
 
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky believes that his nation
 will put pressure on him to make compromises with Russia 
unless Kiev wins a victory in Artyomovsk (known as
 Bakhmut in Ukraine).
 
In an interview with The Associated Press, he said 
the pressure from a defeat in Artyomovsk, would 
come quickly.
 
"Our society will feel tired," Zelensky said. "Our society 
will push me to have compromise with them."
 
According to AP, while some Western military analysts have
suggested that Artyomovsk is not of significant strategic
importance, Zelensky warned, that a loss anywhere at 
this stage could put Ukraine’s hard-fought momentum 
at risk. "The war is a pie - pieces of victories. Small 
victories, small steps," Zelensky said. "We can’t 
lose the steps."
 
"Zelensky’s comments were an acknowledgement that losing 
the seven month-long battle for Bakhmut would be more of a 
costly political defeat than a tactical one," the AP writes.
 
So far, Zelensky said, he had felt no pressure from the West. 
On the contrary, there has been international support to 
Ukraine, he underscored.
 
Artyomovsk is located in the Kiev-controlled part of the
 Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR). Fierce battles for 
the city are in progress. Last week, Yan Gagin, an 
adviser to the acting head of the DPR, said that 
the Russian army had almost completely 
blocked the city. All roads are within 
the range of Russian artillery fire. 
 
The Russian forces have liberated about 70%
of the territory of Artyomovsk, Gagin said.
 
Acting DPR leader Denis Pushilin has repeatedly said there
 is no indication that Ukrainian troops are going to cede 
Artyomovsk. Meanwhile, Kiev has promised to beef up
 the city’s defenses. Zelensky said earlier that 
Ukrainian troops in Artyomovsk would not 
surrender and would keep fighting for 
the city as long as they can.

RIA Novosti: The Russian Armed Forces 
have already received hundreds of 
new tanks in the free zone
March 29th, 1:55am
(RT.ru)
 
The Russian army in the special operation zone in Ukraine
 has already received several hundred new tanks, RIA 
Novosti reports, citing an informed source.
 
"To date, the Russian defense industry has delivered 
several hundred new tanks that have recently been
 released from the assembly line to the free zone,"
 the report says.
 
It is noted that these are mainly T-90M 
"Breakthrough" tanks and 
upgraded T-72B3Ms.
 
Earlier, Der Spiegel wrote that the 18 Leopard 
2 tanks promised by Berlin, to Kiev, have 
already arrived in Ukraine.

Ghillie suits of Ukrainian troops not
helpful against Russian thermal 
cameras — expert
March 28th, 1:34am (TASS)
 
 Ghillie suits, received earlier by Ukrainian troops deployed
 near the line of contact in the Lugansk area, will not make
 them invisible to thermographic cameras and scanners 
used by the Russian military, an LPR military expert, 
Col. Vitaly Kiselev, has told TASS.
 
"The technology is very expensive. Camouflage nets 
and camouflage clothing can conceal body heat to 
a certain extent, but it can still be detected by 
our specialists and their optical devices," 
he said. 
 
‘They have no change of becoming totally undetectable,
 and no one is planning to supply advanced fabrics
 to the Ukrainian armed forces."
 
Kiselev told TASS on Monday, that Ukrainian military units 
fighting on the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic
 (LPR) had received ghillie suits that can hide them from
 infrared scanners.

In China, the photo' of the head of the 
Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with 
Western tanks was considered 
ridiculous
March 29th, 12:30am
(Izvestia.ru)
 
A picture of Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov 
against the background of NATO armoured vehicles
 caused laughter among readers of the Chinese
 publication Guancha.
 
On March 27th, the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry
 shared a photo' on social networks --- showing only four 
Western-made combat vehicles — one copy from each 
delivery. The image shows a British Challenger tank, 
a US Stryker armoured personnel carrier, a Cougar 
armoured vehicle, and a German Marder infantry
 fighting vehicle.
 
In the comments, many users admitted --- that it seems that 
the military support from NATO is limited to these machines.
 
"Ukraine has five tanks, and Russia
has a thousand and five,"
 one of them wrote.
 
Others noted that in addition to the quantity, the quality
 characteristics and effectiveness of the guns are 
questionable. In this regard... Ukraine was 
ironically congratulated on becoming
a 
"dump of the US and Europe."
 
On March the 27th, the German magazine Der Spiegel reported
 that 18 promised German tanks had arrived on the territory 
of Ukraine. This information was later confirmed by the
German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz.
 
On the same day, it was reported that British instructors were
 training Ukrainian tank crews in the use of depleted uranium 
ammunition. Earlier, British Deputy Defense Minister 
Annabel Goldie announced plans to transfer 
such ammunition.
 
Earlier, on March 24th, the press service of the German
 Defense Ministry reported that the German authorities 
handed over to Ukraine, an additional three Dachs 
engineering vehicles, 70 machine guns.. as well 
as spare parts for Leopard 2 tanks and Marder 
infantry fighting vehicles and sensors for 
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

 The military analyst explained
West's attempts to frighten by
''talking up'' Ukrainian Armed 
Forces offensive on Crimea
March 28th, 10:45pm 
(Lenta.ru)
 
Head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, military
 analyst, Alexander Mikhailov, in a conversation with 
Ura.ru, explained how the West is trying to frighten 
Russia, by spreading reports about the intention 
of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (APU) to launch
 an offensive on Crimea, so that Kiev's allies 
will transfer even more weapons to it.
 
 He noted that the United States specifically creates the 
appearance of Ukraine's readiness to retake their 
former territories.
 
"Everything that Washington says about Crimea and Donbass
 is an information and propaganda case to support Ukraine's 
morale and a big advertising campaign for its European
 partners," the expert said.
 
According to him, this is done in order to continue pumping
 Ukraine with weapons. At the same time, he expressed
 confidence that the Ukrainian military will not be able
 to win back the Crimea and Donbass due to the lack 
of equipment and fighters, even taking into
account
 the supply of new weapons.
 
Earlier, Yan Gagin , an adviser to the acting head of the Donetsk
 People's Republic (DPR), said that at the moment the Ukrainian 
Armed Forces are not ready for a large-scale counteroffensive, 
despite the announcements of attacks on Donetsk, Crimea 
and Melitopol.

More precisely, it does not happen:
 the Russian Armed Forces break 
down the supply of Ukrainian 
weapons to the front line
by Andrey Fedorov
Roman Kretsul &
Bogdan Stepovoi
March 28th, 10:01pm
(Izvestia.ru)
 
Active missile strikes do not allow the enemy 
to concentrate forces and prepare for a 
possible offensive.
 
On the night of March the 28th, high-precision air and ground-
based weapons were used in strikes on the rear areas of
 Ukraine, Izvestia's sources said. Experts note that --
on 
the eve of a possible Ukrainian offensive, it is 
important to disrupt logistics chains, and 
prevent the enemy from concentrating
forces near the front line -- which
our 
army does. 
 
On the same day, the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, 
checked how the state defense order is being implemented 
at factories in the Chelyabinsk and Kirov regions. He was
informed --- that the production of individual samples of 
products in the country will grow 7 to 8 times this year. 
 
Izvestia correspondents were convinced that the Russian army 
has enough ammunition when they watched the storming of
 the fortified areas of the VFU near Kremennaya.
 
Right on target
 
An air alert was issued on the night of March 28th, in eight
 regions of Ukraine, as well as in Kiev-controlled areas of 
the Zaporozhye region and the DPR.
 
In the capital of Ukraine, according to local authorities, a 
series of explosions was recorded, in particular, in 
Obolonsky and Svyatoshinsky districts.
 
In Dnepropetrovsk, local authorities reported several
 explosions. They were also recorded in Sumy region.
 
Targets were also actively destroyed in the relatively shallow
 rear. Russian operational-tactical and army aviation, rocket
 troops and artillery have hit 96 VFU artillery units in firing
 positions, manpower and equipment --- in 114 districts 
during the day, the Russian Defense Ministry said 
on March the 28th.
 
According to Izvestia, sources familiar with the situation, all 
the intended targets were hit. Various high-precision air and
ground-based weapons were used, including the latest ones.
 
"We are hitting not only the infrastructure, but also places
 where they detect accumulations of enemy armoured 
vehicles, ammunition and manpower," military expert
 Alexey Leonkov, told Izvestia. ''They....  are building 
some kind of logistics routes to transfer all this to 
the line of contact. But -- we hit accurately. You 
need to use high-precision weapons to avoid 
harming civilians.. as much as possible.
Therefore, international organizations 
can't find any facts confirming that 
we are destroying civilians with 
such strikes, as there are no 
such facts.''
 
Exodus routes: The Russian Armed Forces --- are 
close to controlling the last route to Artemovsk.
If the Ukrainian garrison loses this supply
route 
--- its fate will be sealed.
 
The expert said that the Russian Armed Forces use 
various means: Iskander complexes, sea-based 
cruise missiles Kalibr, and air-based weapons.
 
"We have previously used hypersonic weapons, but 
we are still the only country in the world, that
uses 
them in combat conditions," he said.

Russia calls the US and NATO --- 
the greatest threat to the world
March 28th, 9:01pm 
(Lenta.ru)
 
The Russian delegation at the Conference on Disarmament in
 Geneva called the United States and NATO the greatest 
threat to peace --- because of the proxy war they 
unleashed against Russia. This is reported
 by TASS.
 
As the representative of the delegation Denis Zhuikov noted
 during his speech, the further involvement of the United 
States, Great Britain and France -- in the armed 
confrontation in Ukraine, threatens a direct 
clash of nuclear powers.
 
"We believe that the most acute threat to peace and security, 
fraught with a large-scale nuclear conflict, is borne by the
 United States and the NATO nuclear bloc, due to the 
proxy war unleashed by them, including through 
the crisis in and around Ukraine initiated and
 fanned by them," the diplomat stressed.
 
He also pointed out that the approach of NATO to the borders 
of the Union State of Russia and Belarus increases the
 escalation in Europe and creates new dividing lines.
 
Zhuikov called the United States the main instigator and 
initiator of international conflicts, which is confirmed 
by Washington's doctrines, which increase the role 
of nuclear weapons in the scenario of 
military operations.

In the Verkhovna Rada declared
 inability of Ukraine to fight
 to exhaustion
March 28th, 6:42pm
 
Rada Speaker Stefanchuk: Ukraine can't fight
 to exhaustion, it needs ---- a quick victory.
 
The conflict in Ukraine should end this year, as Kiev cannot
 fight to the point of exhaustion. This was stated on 
Tuesday, March 28th, by the Speaker of the 
Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, in 
an interview with The Times 'paper.
 
"The victory should come this year. We cannot fight to the point
 of exhaustion, because unlike Russia, which has very large 
resources, Ukraine is smaller. So we need this victory as
 soon as possible," he said.
 
Stefanchuk called on Britain and other allies --- to 
speed up the transfer of modern weapons to Kiev.
 
Meanwhile, on March 28th, the head of the US Department of
 Defense, Lloyd Austin, said that, according to the country's 
leadership, Ukraine will need fourth-generation fighters 
only in the future, and now it needs air 
defense systems.
 
A day earlier, retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin, in an interview 
with Izvestia, said that many Western countries have 
enough fighters to supply Ukraine, but the country
 itself does not have the necessary infrastructure 
for aircraft, since most airfields are disabled, 
which makes the very fact of their 
transfer meaningless.
 
Earlier, on March 17th, US Secretary of State Anthony 
Blinken called on US allies not to dwell on the idea of 
transferring any specific types of weapons to Kiev. 
He said that the West independently decides
 what weapons and equipment it is ready 
to transfer to Kiev.
 
In January, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council 
Dmitry Medvedev said that neither Ukraine nor President 
Vladimir Zelensky would survive a single day without 
NATO weapons and Western money.
 
Western countries have stepped up military and financial
 support for Kiev amid Russia's special operation to 
protect the Donbas. Moscow has repeatedly 
condemned the supply of weapons to 
Ukraine.
 
 As noted, the supplied military equipment will not help the 
Armed Forces of Ukraine to conduct an offensive, and in 
addition, it will become a legitimate target for the 
Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Iskander missile systems strike 
enemy airfields ------ in drills in 
Russia’s westernmost region
March 28th, 4:07pm (TASS) 
 
Combat teams of Iskander tactical missile systems from 
the Baltic Fleet’s missile formation stationed in Russia’s 
westernmost exclave of the Kaliningrad Region.
 conducted sole and multiple launches against 
enemy airfields and command posts during 
drills, the Fleet’s press office reported 
on Tuesday.
 
"During the exercise, the missile troops stealthily advanced 
with their combat equipment to the designated deployment 
area, equipped launch sites and conducted electronic sole 
and multiple launches against the targets simulating the 
notional enemy’s missile launchers, airfields, sheltered 
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.

Russian army -- hits units of
Ukraine’s 67th 
brigade near
Chervona Dibrovka
March 28th, 12:14pm (TASS)

 movement of Ukrainian units in the area of Chervona 
Dibrovka and inflicted a fire defeat on the enemy,
the 
head of the group’s press centre,
Alexander Savchuk
 has said.
 
"A redeployment of infantry and armoured combat vehicles of 
the 67th mechanized brigade of Ukraine’s armed forces was 
exposed... in the Chervona Dibrovka area. Cannon artillery 
inflicted losses in manpower and materiel on the enemy," 
Savchuk said, in a video uploaded to the Russian 
Defense Ministry’s Telegram channel.
 
The crew of an Osa anti-aircraft missile system spotted 
and destroyed a Ukrainian drone in the area of 
Krasny Liman, he said.

“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.

Arestovich predicted huge losses 
to the Ukrainian Armed Forces 
during the counteroffensive
March 27th, 6:24pm 
(Lenta.ru)
 
Arestovich: without long-range weapons, the AFU
counteroffensive will result in huge losses
 
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
 is planned for spring.

 The Ukrainian military pointed 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 
for a decade.

The statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin on tactical 
nuclear weapons in Belarus has become a signal for the US

Ukraine, the Global Times writes.

counteract them,” the article said.
 
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that a storage
facility for tactical nuclear weapons will be built 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
https://en.news-front.info/
 
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.

Mercenaries fighting in Ukrainian army 
speak English, Spanish, Arabic
 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 
mentioned most often.
