“I told Mr. Grossi, the director of the IAEA: “And why, I apologize for my diplomacy, will the Russian nuclear regulator take part in consultations on Ukraine’s nuclear power plant? If you are principled people, if you stand for certain rights, then you must tell the Russians: “Kish. Go beyond nuclear facilities, demilitarize nuclear facilities and hand them over to the control of Ukrainian and IAEA specialists,” the minister said.

At the same time, the Russian invaders did not achieve the main goal of capturing certain cities and territories. There is a high probability that Russia will intensify terrorist methods of hostilities, launch missile and bomb strikes on civilian infrastructure, residential areas, intimidate the local population, conduct informational, psychological actions to undermine public confidence in local government, dissemination of misinformation, take the local population hostage.
Units of the occupying forces did not stop trying to continue the offensive in all directions. To do this, Russian troops form and reconcile reserves in the Russian Federation. A significant part of Russian units is restoring combat capability.
The enemy is trying to establish logistical support for units and units conducting hostilities.
The Russian occupiers continue to conduct air reconnaissance of the positions of our troops in the Donetsk, Tavriya, Pivdennobuzhsky and Bessarabian operational areas.

“Today is another confirmation that Nazism is flourishing in Russia. Goebbels of Russia – Dmitry Peskov – said, quoting verbatim: “A real Russian is not ashamed that he is Russian – and if he is ashamed, he is not Russian and not with us.” From a philological point of view, this delusion can be reduced to one thesis: the real Russian is not ashamed. From a philological point of view, this delusion can be reduced to one thesis: true Russian is not ashamed. Never for nothing. … Based on the history of mankind, such statements can be assessed as National Socialism, because Nazism is a totalitarian political ideology based on the thesis of the value of the nation and its supremacy in the process of state formation.
It is about Russians as “saviors of the planet” that Russian propaganda channels tell. At the same time, the audience is pumped with hatred for other countries. These are not Orwellian two minutes of hatred. This lasts 24 hours a day. But the detachments of Kadyrovites, who do not allow the demoralized Russians to escape from the battlefield, are another story – the Soviet one. It seems to me that fascist Russia has amassed the worst in human history. There are probably only concentration camps left. Because the crematoria are already working.”
