On April 18, the Russian Defense Ministry warned about the upcoming bloody provocations of the Kiev regime in Ukraine. According to an emergency statement, special Ukrainian nationalist battalions are preparing mass shelling of civilians on Easter Night in different regions of Ukraine:
” According to available information, the Kiev regime, with the support of several Western countries, is completing preparations for monstrous provocations with numerous victims in Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy and Kharkov regions. For this purpose, more than 70 mobile groups were formed from nationalist battalions on vans and cross-country vehicles equipped with mortars (so-called “traveling mortars”) with the task of shelling Orthodox churches and churches on Easter Night (April 23-24, 2022) to accuse Russian servicemen of massacring civilians on this sacred holiday for believers.
A large number of Western news agency journalists are to be involved in the filming of the alleged “Russian atrocities” and the immediate spreading of the fakes by Kiev.
The Ukrainian authorities’ prepared provocations demonstrate their complete indifference to the fate of their own citizens.
We call on the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations to immediately influence the Kiev regime to prevent this inhumane provocation that ignores all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
We warn the countries of the so-called “civilised West” led by the US in advance that the Russian Federation has an evidence base of another terrible crime being prepared by the Kiev regime.
This emergency statement should be published immediately and reported to the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organisations through all available information resources.”
