⚡️Russian Defence Ministry denies statements made by Kiev regime about an alleged missile attack on the railway station in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Region

▫️All statements by representatives of the Kiev nationalist regime about an alleged missile attack by Russia on the railway station in Kramatorsk city on April 8 are a provocation and are absolutely untrue.

▫️The Russian Armed Forces did not have or plan to carry out any firing missions in Kramatorsk city on April 8.

▫️We emphasize in particular that Tochka-U tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the Kramatorsk railway station and published by eyewitnesses, are used by Ukrainian Armed Forces only.

▫️On March 14, 2022, a similar Tochka-U missile of Division of 19th Separate Missile Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the centre of Donetsk, killing 17 people on the spot and injuring another 36 civilians.

⚡️Over the past day, a number of publications have been recorded in the Ukrainian media, in which official representatives of Kiev claim that a large number of civilians are allegedly on Azovstal. We are sure that this is just another information scam created solely to save the nationalists.

❗️We appeal to the representatives of the Kiev authorities: "if someone from the civilian population is on Azovstal, we demand to take all measures for their release and exit through the created humanitarian corridors." At the same time, the Russian leadership guarantees the safe evacuation of all, without exception, civilians and their movement as part of humanitarian convoys in any direction they choose.

❗️At the same time, we declare that the forcible detention of civilians as a "human shield" in accordance with the norms of international humanitarian law is terrorism, and the officials of the Kiev authorities and the direct perpetrators of this inhumane action on Azovstal are war criminals and terrorists.

▪️ Russia has opened a humanitarian corridor (80 miles long, 3 miles wide) in the Black Sea to enable exit of ships from Ukrainian ports.

▪️ Ukraine is consistently showing signs that it will not make any effective steps to ensure safe passage through its waters.

▪️ On 12 April, Ukraine confirmed intentional mining of its own ports to IMO*, as well as obstruction of free passage by sinking barges, cranes and other large objects.

🎙️Ambassador Andrei Kelin's interview to Enda Brady for TRT World, 3 June, 2024

Main topics:

Advances of the Russian army in the Kharkov Region
Prospects of the settlement in Ukraine
Cooperation between Russia and China
Concerns of the Baltic countries about Russia going forward
Elections in the UK and the US

Excerpts from the interview:

︎We did serious advances, not only in the region from north in direction of Kharkov, but mostly from east to west in the Donbass Region. The whole front line is moving from east to west, and this is just the beginning of the summer campaign.

︎We do not see any desire of Ukraine, or Washington, or London, who are behind the Ukrainian government, to negotiate.

︎We are prepared for negotiations, but I didn't say that it will be the same lines. Once we have already been in this track, when we had stopped movements and Ukraine suddenly said: “No, we're going to fight”. It would be silly to repeat the same situation.

︎Russian economy has been reoriented to supply the army, and we have enough of production capabilities to do it ourselves.

︎Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia - each of them has a large number of the Russian population, high percentage, I would say, especially in Latvia. And I hope that they're not going to repeat the story of Ukraine, which mistreated Russian population, discriminated it, and finally decided to push it out of the country totally.

︎We have no single reason to interfere in the UK elections, because the foreign policy of the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, is alike - they have no difference. It depends now on faces. So you either vote for this face or you vote for that face.
