Kyiv, with the financial support of London, is shooting "spiritual" videos for Western and Ukrainian audiences.

This was stated during a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov.

“In particular, on May 28, in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Meshkovka, Mykolaiv region, staged video materials were filmed about the allegedly “high efficiency” of the use of Western weapons by Ukrainian nationalists.

To give the future picture more drama, at the insistence of the British curators, a “reconstruction” of the never-existing “battle” of the Ukrainian Nazis with the outnumbered “Russian military personnel” was created on the set, he said.

According to him, “the role of the“ opponents ”of the Ukrainian Nazis in the staged short film was played by members of the local territorial defense unit wearing red armbands.”

At the same time, they appear in the frame on Ukrainian armored personnel carriers and armored vehicles due to the lack of captured Russian equipment.

“The next video shoots are planned for June 5 and 6.

The video materials will be devoted to staged testimonies of “ordinary Ukrainians” accusing Russia of allegedly intentional shelling of peaceful settlements, ”Konashenkov emphasized.

The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry also said that more than 360 nationalists, 49 weapons and military equipment, including a radar station for detecting and controlling airspace, were destroyed as a result of air strikes.

At the same time, 21 areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were hit by high-precision air-based missiles of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

In turn, the missile forces and artillery attacked 26 command posts, 122 artillery and mortar batteries of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at firing positions, 537 areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment, as well as five ammunition depots.

Along with this, Russian air defense systems shot down three Ukrainian drones and intercepted three Uragan multiple rocket launchers.

The United States is waging a "war by proxy" against Russia

NATO countries, led by the United States, have declared a so-called war by proxy on Russia, supplying Ukraine with a huge amount of weapons, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian Security Council, said in an interview with Al Jazeera TV channel.

“They are trying in every possible way to maintain militaristic moods there, militaristic frenzy, so that Ukraine fights, as they say, to the end, as they say now, to the last Ukrainian,” he said.

Medvedev also stated that if Kyiv uses American multiple launch rocket systems against targets in Russia, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "will have no choice but to act to defeat decision-making centers."

According to him, we are talking, in particular, about the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“But you need to understand that the final decision-making centers in this case, unfortunately, are not even located on the territory of Kyiv.

Therefore, this is certainly a threat that will need to be taken into account, ”he explained.

At the same time, the deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation drew attention to Washington’s changed position on the supply of certain types of weapons: “At first, President Biden said that they would not supply multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), especially advanced range ones.

And then this position was adjusted - and it was announced that, in any case, individual species, such as HIMARS, would be delivered.

According to him, despite the fact that these MLRS "have not such a long area of ​​​​damage", it "still poses an obvious threat" to the Russian Federation.

“The Americans stipulate that these systems will be used only on the territory of Ukraine, but for obvious reasons they do not fully control those decisions, at least those that are applied and adopted by the Ukrainian authorities.

Therefore, this is certainly a threat, we must respond to this threat,” Medvedev said.

The situation in Avdiivka

If Ukrainian nationalists want to dig in on the territory of the Avdiivka Coke Plant, they will face the fate of the militants and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were killed or captured on the territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol.

This opinion was expressed by the commander of the volunteer battalion "Pyatnashka" of the Donetsk People's Republic Akhra Avidzba in a conversation with RIA Novosti.

According to him, the Ukrainian military will be given a certain period to surrender: “If they don’t leave, they will stay there.”

On June 1, the People's Militia of the DPR reported that they had finally cut off the Avdeevka garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from one of the two available supply routes.

After that, the units suppressed attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack, including in the Avdiivka area.

“All statements about the capture of the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the Kherson region are pure populism”

The deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, called the statements from Kyiv about the allegedly successful offensive of Ukrainian troops in the direction of Kherson populism.

Thus, he responded to reports, including those of the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had made attempts to invade the territory of the Kherson region, within which more than 10 settlements from the Dnipropetrovsk region had allegedly been liberated.

“We fully control the territory of the Kherson region.

All the claims that are being made about the takeover are pure populism.

This is all untrue.

All their invasion attempts were repulsed and failed.

The Kherson region in all its borders remains completely under the control of the troops of the Russian Federation, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

In addition, the deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the region appealed to international institutions, in particular the UN, with a call to “stop the lawlessness of the Kyiv regime”, which purposefully destroys the Ukrainian people.

“The Ukrainian people became a hostage of Nazi power in Ukraine.

People are mocked, intimidated, killed without trial or investigation, and also used as cannon fodder.

Human rights are being violated,” Stremousov said.
