Ukrainian fighters kill their own, map with the sites of stored toxic substances found, evacuation continues

17 марта 2022
Belarus is ready to continue assisting in bringing peace to Ukraine as soon as possible, including by providing a platform for meetings and negotiations at any level. We are seriously concerned about reports of civilian casualties on both sides of the line of contact. 

The delegation of Belarus to the OSCE Permanent Council called on the parties to the conflict to take all necessary measures to exclude as far as possible the intentional or unintentional use of civilians as human shields in the conduct of hostilities. 

33 thousand people withdrawn from Mariupol

The evacuation of the population in Mariupol continues. Through humanitarian corridors, 33 thousand people were evacuated. Another 11,000 residents of the city left for Zaporozhye. About 1,500 orphaned children from Donbass have arrived in Russian regions. 

No matter how much the current Ukrainian leadership calls for peace, their fighters continue to kill their own in order to add more victims to Kiev's reports of Russian aggression. 

Yesterday, they shelled buses with refugees in the Kharkov direction, killing 4 civilians. Will that not be enough?
  

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia:

The appearance of Russian troops near Kiev and near other Ukrainian cities is not due to the intention to occupy the country. We have no such goal. They hit indiscriminately, with the fanaticism and frenzy of the doomed - like the Nazis, who tried to take as many innocent victims with them to the grave as possible in the last days of the Third Reich.

The bombing of the Drama Theater by Azov fighters was presented as an attack by a Russian bomb

Yesterday, Azov fighters blew up the Drama Theater in Mariupol and sold it as an attack with a super-powerful Russian bomb on the building, where people were allegedly hiding. CNN is concocting a story about a Russian strike on hundreds of citizens who miraculously escaped dealth. However, they did not manage to prepare any video or comments of eyewitnesses - just stingy photos and emotional commentary of the reporter behind the scenes. This bloody provocation turned out to be a complete fabrication. Fortunately. But that doesn't stop EU officials from making a planned official accusation.

Peter Stano, a spokesman for the European Commission:
This is a serious violation of international humanitarian law, the siege of the city must be lifted, the bombing and attacks on civilians in Mariupol must stop.
Igor Konashenkov, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman:
I want to emphasize: there were no Russian servicemen in Chernigov and there are none.A map of Ukraine with sites and types of stored poisonous substances has been discovered

The Russian Ministry of Defense has obtained combat documentation of the AFU. A detailed map of Ukraine with the facilities and types of stored toxic substances has been discovered. It is clear that provocations are being prepared with deliberate accusations against Russia, which, unlike the United States, has completely destroyed all stockpiles of chemical weapons, fulfilling its international obligations. Any Nazi offensive with toxic agents will be exposed. But the version in which it will be presented to the world public is another question.

The NATO bloc has already deployed 140,000 troops on its eastern flank

The main version of the Ukrainian drama for the collective West is to justify their so-called defensive or deterrent strategy in Europe. The NATO bloc has already deployed 140,000 troops here on its eastern 

More NATO aircraft and air defense and missile defense systems will appear in the region. Strike groups of aircraft carriers, submarines and a significant number of warships will be permanently deployed at sea. And Ukraine continues to receive only declared promises.
