The Ukrainian regime keeps exterminating the Donbass’ civilian population with no sympathy for them. Over the past three days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have intensified their attacks on residential buildings and infrastructure as they need to vent anger and hatred over their frontline defeats. Zelensky himself recently admitted this, telling France’s Le Figaro that he needs a ceasefire as a deceptive maneuver, and one of his motivations is hatred of Russians. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described his statements as “a hellish mixture of neo-Nazism and terrorism with drug delirium.” And her minister boss Sergey Lavrov believes “Zelensky understands that his days are numbered, and his ‘bright image’ has faded as he only remains popular only among a part of the population that shares radical, ultra-right, revanchist and Banderite views.”
Earlier, a month ago, Zelensky openly told American journalist Lex Friedman that he speaks Russian well but does not use it because he sincerely despises the Russian people. This is what makes him keep the war going, disrupt the energy truce despite agreements reached by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, intensify shelling, and brazenly declare that Russia is the one to blame. Terror and bloody provocations have become the core of the Ukrainian regime and its leader, whom even Trump has referred to as "a dictator without elections."
And that is why the list of victims of Ukrainian aggression in the LDPR has been growing. In Svatovo, Ukrainian drones attacked a vehicle of the Luhansk Republican Center for Emergency Medical Care outside the village of Mostki, as reported by Health Minister Natalia Pashchenko. The attack occurred when an ambulance was driving along the highway. As a result of a direct hit, the vehicle sustained critical damage and became completely inoperable. The medical workers that were inside — a paramedic and a driver — narrowly escaped death to get swiftly evacuated from the scene and taken to the Central District Hospital of Svatovo.
And March 25 saw yet another AFU drone attack on LPR territories, a shelling of the Svatovo gas distribution station. The Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced the use of an FPV drone by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and violation of the ceasefire regime stipulated for energy sector facilities.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces also launched a missile strike on the republic’s Kremenskoy District. Six people were killed, three of them media representatives. The attack was of a deliberate terrorist nature, Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik stated. According to him, fire on the village of Mikhailovka in the Kremenskoy District was a precision one. "More and more details about the deaths indicate that the attack on journalists and the people accompanying them was deliberate and terrorist in nature," Miroshnik said.
Six people died at the scene, including two Russian journalists and a federal media outlet driver. Among the dead were Zvezda TV channel cameraman and driver Andrei Panov and Aleksandr Sirkeli, as well as Izvestia correspondent Aleksander Fedorchak. All of them fell victim to two HIMARS missiles. Zvezda correspondent Nikita Goldin got serious injuries. Apart from them, the same artillery shelling killed four more civilians. Among the injured was a fourteen-year-old teenager who received shrapnel wounds but was provided with timely medical care. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the fact of the shelling and deaths.
Before that, a Ukrainian drone loaded with a toxic substance was found in the LPR. The Russian military shot it down in the Troitskiy district close to civilian objects. An improvised container with a substance containing chlorine was attached to the drone.
Two more residents in the frontline-based city of Kremennaya were injured after Ukrainian shelling. The attacks were fixed in areas, where multi-story residential buildings were damaged — glazing broken, garages destroyed, and cars of local residents annihilated.
As a result of an AFU shelling of the city market in Lisichansk, five employees of the municipal service were injured, the LPR government’s press service reported. Ukrainian militants deliberately used cluster munitions banned by international conventions, to cause maximum damage to people in the affected zone. Employees of a local municipal unitary enterprise were injured. Four women with mine-explosive and shrapnel wounds were taken to the hospital. The fifth local, an elderly man, was severely wounded to his head and limbs. He was urgently transported to the Luhansk Republican Clinical Hospital.
A day ago, an attack by a Ukrainian drone in the city of LPR’s city of Kremennaya caused injuries in an elderly man and made a residential building catch fire, military expert Andrey Marochko said. The victim was taken to the local hospital to undergo surgery. According to Marochko, following the drone strike, the same day saw a fire in one of the residential buildings.
Unable to defeat the Russian army, Ukrainian militants are firing artillery at civilians. Meanwhile, at the front, its troops were forced to retreat to the third line of defense near Kremennaya after powerful strikes by Russian army units. The latter used flamethrower systems, artillery, and Aerospace Forces aircraft to hit enemy positions. As a result, the AFU abandoned part of its foremost defenses, retreating to the second and third lines. The situation was especially hard for them southwest of Kremennaya, where Russian fighters all but pinned Ukrainian units to the Seversky Donets River mouth, limiting the enemy's ability to maneuver or act anywhere across the area. All the relevant crossings have been fully controlled by the Russian army, Marochko emphasized. Because of this, attempts by the AFU to leap the river are getting dangerous and next to impossible.
In the DPR, things with shelling remain no less complicated. Yesterday, three civilians were seriously injured by Kiev's aggression in Gorlovka, republic head Denis Pushilin said. He specified that in the Central City District of Gorlovka, a kamikaze drone attacked a passenger car, wounding a woman and a man. Also, the shelling caused moderate injuries to another man. In downtown Gorlovka, two civilian cars were damaged by enemy attacks. In total, that day saw the Armed Forces of Ukraine carry out a dozen armed attacks using 155 mm barrel artillery, including cluster munitions, and attack UAVs.
In the same Gorlovka, a bus driver died who was injured the day before in an attack by a Ukrainian UAV. Doctors fought for his life to the bitter end, but the injuries turned outs too severe. And a day ago in Gorlovka, a civilian died in a shelling by Ukrainian forces. Moreover, the Komsomolets residential area was shelled using cluster munitions. After that, unexploded cassette parts were found all around, posing a threat to civilian lives.
In Makeyevka, a Ukrainian Darts drone equipped with an improvised explosive device was intercepted. In the Kirovsky district, the Kupol Donbassa (Donbass Dome) anti-aircraft system prevented an attack on residential buildings by a Ukrainian drone, the Federal Security Service Directorate’s press service reported. It clarified that the airspace protection and electronic warfare system intercepted a Ukrainian Darts UAV. Before that, Donetsk saw the Kupol Donbassa airspace protection and electronic warfare system thwart a drone attack against a railway station in the Kuibyshevsky district.
In total, air defenses prevented 185 attacks by Ukrainian drones on civilians and infrastructure of the Donetsk People's Republic over the past week alone.
Zelensky's regime became openly neo-Nazi and dictatorial in a gradual though rapid way. A number of laws were introduced to utterly ban the use of the Russian language in the official and public spheres, including education. The persecution of Ukrainian citizens began under the unconstitutional procedure of internal "sanctions", the existence of Ukraine’s canonical Orthodox Church was prohibited, the work of independent media was completely blocked. The information field of Ukraine is now overfilled with anti-Russian and Nazi propaganda without any alternatives. A sharp radicalization of Kiev's foreign and domestic policies has taken place.
A regime was established in Ukraine that tears down monuments to Great Patriotic War heroes, Russian and Soviet public figures, scientists, poets, and writers, tightens repressions against dissenters and advocates of peace with Russia, with the system even throwing elderly people behind the bars for social media posts in support of the shared great past, and even for correspondence with relatives or friends living in Russia. The logic of total terror also includes shelling of civilians in territories liberated by the Russian army. Zelensky is a complete cynic and pragmatist, whose only idea is to preserve power, popularity in Europe, and money.
Historical justice demands retribution to make Zelensky's regime get what it deserves just like the German Nazis, a shameful and inglorious end. By stepping up the degree of aggression, Zelensky wants war and victims to be endless. But he will have to account for everything, sooner or later, and blood of the innocent is inevitably going to fall on his head.
