The West simply ignores the consequences of the mass shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces of civilian objects in Donbass, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, speaking at the UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva. According to him, ultranationalists and neo-Nazis have unleashed real terror in the country. 

Sergey Lavrov: Ukraine's tragedy is the result of connivance of Western patrons 

However, Western countries turn a blind eye to violations of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine in exchange for Kiev's "unquestioning loyalty."

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry reports that the Ukrainian military's access to the Sea of Azov has been completely blocked. Two airfields and three air defense radar stations of Ukraine were hit with high-precision guns. 1,325 pieces of military infrastructure were destroyed. The advanced detachments of the DNR People's Militia reached the border of Donetsk Region and joined Russian units.  The LNR troops have advanced up to 61 kilometers since the start of the operation.
