2022-05-20 22:03:59 The territory of the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, where a group of Ukrainian militants of the Azov Nazi group has been blocked since April 21, has been completely liberated.

The underground facilities of the enterprise, where the militants had been hiding, have come under full control of the Russian Armed Forces.

Since May 16, a total of 2,439 Azov Nazis and AFU servicemen blocked inside the plant have laid down their arms and surrendered during the operation.

Today, the last group of 531 militants surrendered.

The so-called "commander" of the Azov Nazis, due to the hatred of Mariupol residents and the desire of the townspeople to massacre him for his numerous atrocities, was removed from the territory of the plant in a special armoured vehicle.

Russian Defence Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the completion of the operation and the complete liberation of the plant and Mariupol city from the Ukrainian militants.

2022-05-20 21:35:07 Militants of Ukrainian nationalist formations and units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been carrying out looting raids in residential areas in Gulyaipole, Zaporozhye Region.

They forcibly take cash, valuables and personal vehicles from civilians under threat of violence, ostensibly for defence purposes.

At the same time, citizens who offer the slightest resistance are beaten and accused of pro-Russian views.

All suspects are arrested under the article "collaborationism" of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and taken to an unknown destination.

All of this, once again, shows the true "face" of the Ukrainian authorities, who openly express their inhumane attitude to the fate of the people of Ukraine and disregard the norms of morality and international humanitarian law.

2022-05-20 21:32:01 Ukrainian armed formations continue to use of social infrastructure for military purposes:

in Slavyansk (lyceum of railway transport, 5 Gagarin Street; school No. 4, 17 Danila Galitskyi Street), Avdeevka (school No. 1, 58A Donetskaya Street) of the Donetsk People's Republic, and Konotop, Sumy region (school No. 3, 150 Klubnaya Street; school No. 12, 2 Yaroslav Mudryi Street), the buildings and surrounding areas of educational facilities are equipped with firing positions of territorial defence battalions, infantry fighting vehicles, heavy artillery and ammunition storage facilities have been placed;

in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, an AFU stronghold has been equipped in Children's Polyclinic No. 3 (19b Druzhba Street), the approaches to the building have been mined and polyclinic staff and patients are kept in the basement, while seriously ill children, including cancer and insulin-dependent children, cannot receive timely medical care;

near Shestovitsa village, Chernigov region, Ukrainian neo-Nazis have mined a road bridge across the Desna River, which they plan to blow up and, in a well-tested scenario, cynically accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on vital civilian infrastructure.

The number of daily violations of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions by Kiev regarding the prohibition of placing heavy weapons in residential areas, the use of civilians as human shield and civilian infrastructure for military purposes demonstrates the Kiev regime's continued destructive policy towards its own citizens.
