Ukrainian “army” was very desperate at drawing the Russian troops away from Severodonetsk and wanting them to instead start a frontal assault on the well-fortified Avdeevka, where the Ukrainian troops have dug in using the civilians as the human shield. These were the reasons for the indiscriminate terrorist shelling of the residential areas of Donetsk city of the past days. A few days ago Ukraine set an 8-year record in shelling of the civilians: 13.06.2022 – The most brutal shelling of Donetsk city over the past 8 years. Now with French munitions, but yesterday, they beat it and shelled with an even greater ferociousness.

400 shells were fired at the city. 5 people were killed. over 20 wounded.

The Russian Air Force finally obliged the Ukrainian wish and returned fire, but using high-precision rockets, striking 12 firing position. As the result, 4 platoons of the “Grad” Multiple Rocket Launcher Systems and 4 platoons of the American-supplied M777 155mm howitzers were destroyed.

One attack by the Ukrainian terrorists on University street in Donetsk was captured on a security camera, and by the looks of it, it was a cluster bomb with exploding sub-munitions – this is a war crime, as such munitions are forbidden against targets where civilians might be found.

On the 13th of June 2022 the Ukro-Nazi forces conducted the most brutal, savage bombardment of Donetsk city that it has seen over the past 8 years of shelling. The bombardment can be comparable to what the residents of Leningrad had to endure from the German Nazis during the blockade of WWII. Some of the cluster munitions that fell on the residential areas of the city were delivered by France, which has now become an accessory to the war crime.

5 people have died, 35 were wounded. Among the targets of the ukro-Nazis was a maternity ward.

As Ukrainian Policy Matters Telegranm channel reported: “The French media published a story about how the artillerymen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine protect Ukraine. The next day, Ukrainian artillery shelled residential areas of the city of Donetsk, which caused fires throughout the city and many civilians were killed. Unfortunately, French TV channels ignored this story.”

“Donetsk, Shakhterskaya Square, now. 86 BM-21 Grad missiles, 14 BM-27 Hurricane missiles, more than 30 155-mm shells were fired at Donetsk IN THE LAST HOUR ALONE:”

A translation of the Telegram post of:

First Deputy Minister of Information of the DPR Daniil Bezsonov @neoficialniybezsonov

Yesterday, the Ukrainian Nazis launched massive strikes on the center of Donetsk using MLRS, artillery systems. Until late in the evening, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DPR extinguished fires throughout the city. The scale of the shelling is terrifying: 300 shells in two hours! “Grads”, “Hurricanes”, 155 mm NATO artillery. The most massive shelling of Donetsk in the entire history of this long—term conflict – both in power, density, and duration. Over the past day, five people were killed on the territory of the DPR and another 35 were injured.

One might have thought that this was artillery preparation before an offensive attempt, but no. If it had been artillery preparation, then the shelling would have been of a different nature. It would be conducted in the area where it would be necessary to suppress our forces, specifically in the area where a breakthrough would be planned. And the military infrastructure would suffer, not the civilian one. While the Ukrainian Nazis hit exclusively the civilian infrastructure — markets, maternity hospitals, residential quarters. This is the terror of the civilian population.

During yesterday’s shelling, Vishnevsky’s Donetsk maternity hospital suffered. The work of this maternity hospital will be suspended, the women in labour will be transferred to other similar Donetsk medical institutions. Chairman of the RF IC Alexander Bastrykin instructed to identify those involved in the shelling of Donetsk. In addition to the maternity hospital, city hospitals No. 1 and 20, primary health care centres No. 7 and 8 were under fire. I recall one of the massive shelling of Donetsk, during which a number of school institutions were damaged. Now the Ukrainian Nazis have gone through the hospitals.

Today we are witnessing a contradictory reaction of the West to what happened. German Channel One blamed Russia for the shelling of Donetsk. They must be getting Goebbels’ manuals that were collecting dusty in the archives. Even German journalists working in the DPR admit that the shelling was from Ukraine.

The UN, on the contrary, is concerned about what has happened, expressing extreme concern. The representative of the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, said that strikes on medical institutions are unacceptable, this is a gross violation of international law.

It is sad to hear from UN representatives about gross violations of international law. After eight years of war, shelling of residential areas of Donbass, persecution of dissidents in Ukraine, the UN can only say that official Kiev has grossly violated international law. Although we have not expected anything from such organizations for a long time: there will be no impact on Ukraine, no persecution of Ukrainian Nazis by the international community. There will be only what we can achieve ourselves: we will kill all Ukrainian soldiers, and those who surrender will be judged by the law.

Here are more reports from the independent journalists on the spot:

Ukraine commits atrocities against the civilians on a daily basis, and in such quantity that it is almost impossible to keep up with all of them. It feels like the favourite sport of the Ukrainian army is to shoot at the civilian targets – not unlike the thinking of Grand Moff Tarkin when he chose the selection of the target for his shock and awe operation with the Death Star in the Star Wars franchise. One of the latest attacks was against the Russian territory, in Belgorod oblast, where one teenager was killed and 7 other people were wounded after the Ukrainian force shelled a village of no military significance there.

But al that pails in comparison to what Kiev and its USNATO backers are try to pull off – a large scale chemical terrorist act. Yesterday, as the chemical factory “Zarja” (meaning “Dawn”) near town Rubezhnoe (meaning “Frontier”) was liberated from the Ukrainian forces, Russian Electronic Warfare Forces managed to block a remote detonation of a huge number of explosives rigged around various containers and cisterns with acids and other deadly chemicals:

Thousands of tons of ammonia: how, during the retreat of the UAF, the Zarya chemical plant was mined in Rubezhnoye

The People’s Militia of the LPR told how the Armed Forces of Ukraine during their retreat mined the territory of the chemical plant for the production of explosives “Zarya” in the city of Rubezhnoye.

“We discovered that the enemy mined the warehouse with 49 tons of TNT and ammonium, which Ukrainian officers, on the instructions of Polish and American instructors, were going to undermine remotely when leaving positions at the plant,” the PM of the Luhansk People’s Republic said in a statement published on the Teleram channel.

As stated by the People’s Militia, the purpose of mining was detonation, and subsequently spraying in the air of 40 thousand tons of ammonia, nitric and sulfuric acids, benzene and other dangerous substances that were on the territory of the plant.

“In advance, in order to ensure the guaranteed explosion of tanks with toxic chemicals, Ukrainian militants carried out lining of railway trains with bags of ammonium and made additional mining of containers with the most dangerous reagents,” the People’s Militia added.

Thus, more than 300 thousand residents of the city could have ended up in the infected zone, and all forms of life would have guaranteed been destroyed in the radius of 20 kilometres from the epicentre of the explosion, they stressed in the People’s Militia. At the moment, the territory of the chemical enterprise is being examined and evidence of the criminal intent is being recorded.

Earlier, the correspondent of Zvezda told how the servicemen of the Russian Federation and the LPR liberated the Zarya plant from the UAF.

And as the above did not go Ukro-NATO’s way, they did something similar today on the territory still controlled by Kiev, albeit in a “smaller” scale, blowing up ammonium nitrate. Re-publishing from SputnikNews:

I am presenting below a translation of an article from RIA Novosti (Russian Information Agency). The site, like almost al Russian site, both English-language and Russian-language alike, is blocked in the West, but is accessible through VPN. Alternatively, a repost the article in Russian can be read on Cont. This is not something that is reported in the Western MSM for the sole reason that the Western reporters are studiously looking the other way, like they were looking at Charly Hebdo in 2014 while Donbass was starting to bleed at the hands of the Kiev junta.

“Even foreigners are being captured”: what is happening in the port of Mariupol

Mariupol, the 13th of April, Victor Zvantsev.

The DPR troops blocked the port of Mariupol, where the surviving units of the Azov battalion took refuge. The enemy continues to snarl, but weaker and weaker — ammunition is running out. The nationalist leaders are trying to escape by air, and their subordinates are breaking through on the ground. This RIA Novosti report is about how the seaport was stormed and what its employees tell us.

Chopper with ammunition

Destroyed docks, a burnt—out cargo ship, wrecked loaders, mine shanks stuck in the asphalt – this is how part of the Mariupol port looks like, which came under the control of the republican forces the day before. Behind a long concrete pier, just a couple of hundred meters away, there are Ukrainian positions.

The pier serves as a shelter for gunners, spotters and tankers. After driving out from behind a concrete block, the T-72 turns the tower around, fires three shots and hides again. In response, mines fly, but they fall several tens of meters from the target.

“Although we are already in full control of the situation, the enemy is still strong,” says the shooter of a Separate brigade of the operational purpose of the DNR “Shram” (at his request, the call sign was changed). — A couple of hours ago, for example, our tank was hit. The crew was killed, and the vehicle burned down. We can’t wait for the Nazis to run out of ammunition.”

The Azovites, according to the fighters, are now fighting extremely economically — in a month and a half their reserves have been severely depleted. There are many depleted caches on the liberated territory. They prepared for the battles here for a long time and thoroughly.

“We have blocked all routes for the delivery of weapons: on land, water and in the air,” Shram continues. — The last attempt was made a week ago. We shot down a chopper that had flown in from Zaporozhye for the leadership of the battalion. The captured crew reported that before the evacuation they managed to throw boxes of ammunition, grenades and mines into the harbour.”
