❗Mass Media of Russia about Situation in Ukraine (April 19, 2022)❗
1. Political statements by the leadership of the Russian Federation and friendly countries
Russian President Vladimir Putin taking part in the meeting on economic issues said that the pressure from sanctions, yet more pressure from sanctions imposed by Western countries has been the main negative factor for the economy lately. United States and European countries expected еру sanctions to rapidly produce a devastating effect on Russia’s finances and economy, sow panic in the markets, bring about a collapse in the banking system and create major shortages of goods in shops.
However, this policy has failed in Russia. The strategy of unleashing an economic blitzkrieg has been ineffective. Moreover, the sanctions affected those who initiated them. Russia has been able to withstand this unprecedented pressure. The situation is getting back to normal with the ruble recovering to where it was in the first half of February, which is attributable to a robust trade surplus, which is an objective reality.
As for the consumer market, retail demand has stabilized after a brief period of panic buying, which does happen in situations like this. Retail chains are restocking their supplies. (kremlin.ru)
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov on April, 18 said that Russia's response to Western sanctions is being formulated in the government. He stressed that it would be coincidence of Moscow's interests. Peskov also pointed out that the negotiation process with Ukraine continues but its dynamics leaves much to be desired. Despite this the military operation is going according to plan. (lenta.ru)

Emergency Statement of the Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine
18.04.2022 (14:45)
According to available information, the Kiev regime, with the support of several Western countries, is completing preparations for monstrous provocations with numerous victims in Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy and Kharkov regions. For this purpose, more than 70 mobile groups were formed from nationalist battalions on vans and cross-country vehicles equipped with mortars (so-called "traveling mortars") with the task of shelling Orthodox churches and churches on Easter Night (April 23-24, 2022) to accuse Russian servicemen of massacring civilians on this sacred holiday for believers..
A large number of Western news agency journalists are to be involved in the filming of the alleged "Russian atrocities" and the immediate spreading of the fakes by Kiev.
The Ukrainian authorities' prepared provocations demonstrate their complete indifference to the fate of their own citizens.
We call on the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations to immediately influence the Kiev regime to prevent this inhumane provocation that ignores all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
We warn the countries of the so-called "civilised West" led by the US in advance that the Russian Federation has an evidence base of another terrible crime being prepared by the Kiev regime.
This emergency statement should be published immediately and reported to the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organisations through all available information resources. (mil.ru)
3. Crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis and the armed forces of Ukraine
On April, 15 Russian Armed Forces prevented an attempt of Ukrainian Air Force to launch a missile attack on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. (redstar.ru)
Kiev regime treats its own citizens inhumanely and is violating the norms of morality and International humanitarian law. Ukrainian Armed Forces and nazis's battalions purposefully place their firing positions and heavy weapons in kindergartens, schools, municipal and medical organizations. (redstar.ru)
4. Exposure of disinformation
Fake:
President of Ukraine V.Zelensky in the interview to CNN said that the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the military operation amounted to 2.5-3 thousand people.
As a matter of fact:
Ukraine always use the information strategy to overestimate the enemy's losses and underestimate their own. Irretrievable losses of Ukraine are 23,367 people including more than 4,000 people in Mariupol. (войнасфейками.рф) #Russia #Ukraine #Donbass

Captured nationalists told the press about the absence of civilians on the territory of the plant.

3. Crimes of the Ukrainian Nazis and the armed forces of Ukraine
The militants from the nationalist battalions cynically continue to use small arms and mortars against humanitarian corridors, including those declared by the Ukrainian side.
The Russian Armed Forces, guided by humane principles, once again offered Ukrainian nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries to cease hostilities and lay down their arms from 14:00 Moscow time on April 20. The Russian side guaranteed compliance with the Geneva Conventions on the treatment of prisoners of war. The proposed algorithm of actions involves the announcement of a "silence regime" from 13.30 both by nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries, and by the Russian Armed Forces together with the DPR militia.
If the Ukrainian commanders refuse to lay down their arms, the Russian Defense Ministry called on the Kiev authorities to influence the militants in order to observe the "silence regime" and withdraw civilians, possibly located on the territory of the plant Azovstal. Humanitarian convoys were deployed in advance close to the metallurgical plant in three directions: from the West - on Shevchenko Street; from the East - on Pobedy Avenue; from the North - on Taganrogskaya street. Each humanitarian convoy had 50 buses and 15 ambulances. (http://redstar.ru/)
4. Exposure of disinformation
Fake: The Ukrainian Armed Forces never use prohibited ammunition in Russian territory.
In fact, the shelling of the Belgorod village of Golovchino says otherwise. According to a military experts, footage from the scene of the incident indicates that it was missiles with cluster warheads. (войнасфейками.рф)
Fake: Investors on the Moscow Exchange will lose their assets due to the UK authorities decision to revoke its recognised status.
In reality, the investors will not loss their assets. This change in status means that potential market participants when trading securities on the Moscow Exchange will not be able to access tax benefits in the UK. But existing investments will not be affected. Thus, London is trying to urge investors to stop investing in Russian companies and demonstrate its increasing pressure on the Russian economy.

1. Political statements by the leadership of the Russian Federation and friendly countries
Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu on April 21 said that he considers the assault on the industrial zone of Azovstal to be inappropriate and instructed to block this industrial zone. The Minister of Defense was instructed to once again invite everyone who has not yet laid down their arms to do so. The Russian side guarantees them there to save lives and provide decent treatment in accordance with the relevant international legal acts. All those injured will receive qualified medical assistance. (http://www.kremlin.ru)
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova on April 20 said that despite statements that hostilities in Ukraine should end as soon as possible, NATO countries are doing everything to delay the active phase of the operation. They are increasing the supply of military equipment, weapons and ammunition, pushing the Kyiv regime to continue aggression against the DPR and LPR and encourage new neo-Nazi war crimes. April 13 this year The United States announced another $800 million military aid package. Dozens of howitzers, thousands of artillery shells, hundreds of armored personnel carriers and even Russian-made Mi-17 helicopters will be handed over to Kiev. With all there weapons peaceful cities of the DPR and LPR and the territory of Russia will be fired, like declared some "persons" in Ukraine.
The "collective West" supports the Ukrainian nationalists not only with weapons, but also with personnel, supplying mercenaries there, fed by extremists in various parts of the world. The Ukrainian embassies are making their contribution to the creation of the international neo-Nazi "legion", which, in violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, recruit mercenaries around the world. A number of countries actively oppose this. Others cannot - under pressure from Washington. The entire “operation”, including the formation of mercenary battalions, is fully supported by US political forces. (https://www.mid.ru/)
Chinese President Xi Jinping, in a video message at the Boao Asian Forum, said that China does not accept unilateral sanctions and will not follow the policy of "double standards" which intensify global confrontation.

❗️BRIEFING on a provocation against the Russian Federation prepared by the USA and NATO with the accusation of using nuclear, biological and chemical weapons (April 23, 2022)❗️
Diapositive 1 (Opening)
Diapositive 2 (Statements against Russia)
The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation possesses the information related to the preparation of provocations by the United States of America in order to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of using chemical, biological or tactical nuclear weapons. This plan has already been developed and represents a response to the success of Russia in conducting the special military operation.
Only in March and April senior officials of the Western countries have been making regular provocative ‘warning’ statements. The mass media propagate the points about the possibility of using weapons of mass destructions by Russia.
For example, the National Security Advisor J.Sullivan has commented on Biden’s words that the USA “in kind” to the possible use of weapons of mass destructions by our country. And on February 27 the American permanent representative to the UN Greenfield announced an intention of Russia to use any instruments ‘under a false flag’, including chemical and biological weapons for intimidating the Ukrainian population and the international community.
Against this background, the US State Department considered positively the transfer of up to 400 sets of personal protection equipment, 390 NBC reconnaissance devices and 15 ‘Stryker’ reconnaissance vehicles.
Diapositive 3 (Examples of falsification)
We inform you that this kind of projects has already been implemented many times by the USA for achieving its goals. The most vivid example of an information provocation is the speech of the US Secretary of State Colin Powell on February 5, 2003. The vial with laundry detergent in his hands provided a pretext to invade Iraq and caused death of half a million civilians.
In 2017, the widely spread photographs of the ‘White Helmets’ that showed people taking samples in a site of the alleged sarin attack and using simple gauze bandages, while the people standing around lacked any personal protection equipment, caused a missile attack on Shayrat airfield in Syria.
And in 2018, a staging of the Syrian children who had been allegedly poisoned by chlorine caused the destruction of a scientific research centre in Barzeh and Jamra. Only the testimony of the witnesses of those developments who had been brought by the Russian Federation to the Hague have opened the eyes of the international community to these events.
Until now, no one has been held accountable for these provocations.
Diapositive 4 (Staging scenarios)
This time there are three scenarios to be applied in order to accuse the Russian Federation.
The first one is a ‘staged incident under a false flag’ that is the most probable.
This could include a real use of chemical and biological weapons that would cause deaths among the population or staging ‘sabotages’ from Russia at the facilities of Ukraine involved in the development of components for weapons of mass destruction.
The abovementioned scenario can be implemented in the chemical and biological facilities located in Kharkov and Kiev. There also may occur a provocation in the nuclear energy facilities: above all others, it could refer to Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Station controlled by the Russian Federation. On April, 21, a convoy of 10 motor vehicles that was transporting dangerous goods to the nuclear station was stopped and turned about to Zaporozhie.
In addition, the leadership of Ukraine is seriously considering striking at the radioactive waste storage facility at the former Pridneprovsky Chemical Plant in the village of Kamenskoye in Dnipropetrovsk Region. The Ministry of Defense has documents confirming the critical condition of the storage facility and the inappropriate spending of funds allocated by the European Union for the maintenance of the facility.

In addition, the leadership of Ukraine is seriously considering striking at the radioactive waste storage facility at the former Pridneprovsky Chemical Plant in the village of Kamenskoye in Dnipropetrovsk Region. The Ministry of Defense has documents confirming the critical condition of the storage facility and the inappropriate spending of funds allocated by the European Union for the maintenance of the facility.
The second one refers to a ‘Maximally covert use of weapons of mass destruction in small volumes’ for neutralising the will power and the capacity to resist within the fulfilment of a particular operational task.
This scenario was supposed to be implemented in ‘Azovstal’. But the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to cancel the assault of the entity has frustrated the plans of the Pentagon.
The third and the least probable one is the ‘overt use of weapons of mass destruction at a combat area’ in case of failure to succeed in using conventional armaments in the combat zone.
This scenario was considered for Slavyansk and Kramatorsk that had been transformed into fortified towns.
The high probability of staging the application of chemical arms is confirmed by the facts of the supply of antidotes with toxic substances to Ukraine. Only in 2022, on request of the Ministry of Healthcare of Ukraine, more than 220 thousand of vials with atropines. This fact is an evidence of a targeted preparation of a provocation that includes the use of toxic nerve-paralytic substances.
Diapositive 5 (Incidents investigation)
The US State Department has already determined the procedure of investigation and has assigned the officials who will be responsible for its implementation.
The chemical incidents will be investigated by the attributive staff of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that permits to fabricate the necessary proofs and to sentence the responsibility as it can be seen fit.
It will be essential to gather evidence at the scene (sampling, questioning of witnesses, photo- and videographic documenting).
The investigative mechanism applied to the cases of possible use of biological weapons will be put in operation with the authorisation of the UN Secretary-General that determines the expert panel basing on his own preferences.
It is planned to involve the Red Cross International Committee representatives equipped with means of personal protection and indication to operate in the combat zones to which the NATO representatives will have no access.
Diapositive 6 (Staging results)
Staged use of WMD is aimed at accusing Russia of using prohibited weapons with the subsequent implementation of the so-called «Syrian scenario», in which the state is subjected to economic and political isolation, as well as exclusion from international organizations, including the UN Security Council.
A possible way forward is to put pressure on the countries loyal to and friendly to the Russian Federation, including India and China, to compel them to impose sanctions on our country.
We would like to recall that the Russian Federation completely destroyed its chemical arsenal on September 27, 2017, which is confirmed by an OPCW certificate. In turn, the United States, with its strong financial, economic and technical potential, is the only country party to the Chemical Weapons Convention that still possesses an impressive arsenal of chemical warfare agents (672.5 tons).
CIA Director Burns' statement about Russia's possible use of tactical nuclear weapons is absurd. With the current level of technical equipment of the international nuclear test monitoring system, it is impossible to conceal the use of such weapons. If the CIA director does not understand this, then he is either unprofessional, or he is being misled.
The biological weapons programs in the USSR were completely phased out in 1972. At the same time, the number of U.S. biological laboratories is incomparable to other countries. According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Washington controls 336 laboratories in 30 countries, which is of great concern.
Diapositive 7 (features of U.S. legislation)
Note, that contrary to its international obligations, the U.S. has retained domestic legislation that permits biological weapons work.
This scenario was supposed to be implemented in ‘Azovstal’. But the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to cancel the assault of the entity has frustrated the plans of the Pentagon.
The third and the least probable one is the ‘overt use of weapons of mass destruction at a combat area’ in case of failure to succeed in using conventional armaments in the combat zone.

Diapositive 7 (features of U.S. legislation)
Note, that contrary to its international obligations, the U.S. has retained domestic legislation that permits biological weapons work.
The United States ratified the 1925 Geneva Protocol with a number of reservations, one of which allows for the retaliatory use of chemical and toxin weapons.
Under the U.S. «Uniting and Strengthening America to Obstruct Terrorism Act» research into biological weapons is permitted with the approval of the U.S. government. Participants in such research are not criminally liable for developing such weapons.
Given the blocking by the United States of any international initiatives to verify the Biological (Toxin) Weapons Convention, there are prerequisites for violating international agreements on the non-proliferation of biological weapons.
Diapositive 8 (Unmanned aerial vehicles)
We noted earlier that Ukraine had sent a request to the manufacturing company about the possibility of equipping the Bayraktar drones with aerosol attachments.
It is a matter of concern that on 9 March Russian reconnaissance units in Kherson Region discovered three unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with 30-litre containers and equipment for spraying formulations.
According to available data, in January 2022, Ukraine purchased more than 50 such devices through intermediary organizations, which can be used to apply biological formulations and toxic chemicals.
On April 21, 2022, a container with ampoules was dropped onto the position of Russian troops from a drone. It was planned that their destruction would cause a chemical reaction that would cause an explosion and fire, releasing toxic substances not included in the convention lists.
With regard to the contents of the ampoules, a chemical analysis is carried out in laboratory 27 of the Scientific Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense, accredited by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the results of the analysis will be sent to its technical secretariat in the prescribed manner.

In addition, I would like to recall that today the United States is the only state in world history that has used all three types of weapons of mass destruction.
The dropped nuclear bombs during the Second World War on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the use of toxic chemicals in Vietnam and Iraq - all these crimes were not properly assessed by relevant international organizations.
Thus, in an attempt to discredit the special military operation of the Russian troops, the Kyiv regime, at the suggestion of the American administration, is able to implement scenarios in the near future that will lead to the death of tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens and cause an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe.
Under the U.S. «Uniting and Strengthening America to Obstruct Terrorism Act» research into biological weapons is permitted with the approval of the U.S. government. Participants in such research are not criminally liable for developing such weapons.
Given the blocking by the United States of any international initiatives to verify the Biological (Toxin) Weapons Convention, there are prerequisites for violating international agreements on the non-proliferation of biological weapons.

We noted earlier that Ukraine had sent a request to the manufacturing company about the possibility of equipping the Bayraktar drones with aerosol attachments.
