Russian Defence Ministry

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

📸In order to accuse Russia of an alleged missile strike on Kramatorsk railway station, Kiev regime has posted on social media pictures of Tochka-U missile launchers that took part in "Union Courage 2022" Russian-Belarusian exercise in February. All photos published by Kiev from "Union Courage 2022" exercise show non-Russian missile systems. Tochka-U tactical missiles whose wreckage was found near Kramatorsk railway station are used only by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

▫️An analysis of the engagement radius of the warhead, as well as the characteristic position of Tochka-U missile's tail section, clearly confirm that it was launched from a south-western direction away from Kramatorsk. This area is still under the full control of the Ukrainian military grouping troops in Donbass.

💥 High-precision missiles of Bastion coastal missile system have destroyed the Foreign Mercenary Collection and Training Centre near Krasnoselka, northeast of Odessa. High-precision air-based missiles destroyed a large depot of missile and artillery weapons near Nimirovskoe, Odessa Region. Aviation equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was also destroyed at the Kanatovo military airfield in Kirovograd Region.

◽️ The results of radio intercepts show that in addition to Nazis from the Azov battalion and remnants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, there is a significant number of foreign mercenaries in the occupied areas of the city.

▫️ Kiev has once again disrupted the prisoner exchange. The Ukrainian authorities repeatedly changed the format of the exchange overnight and then rejected the possibility of the exchange without giving any reasons. 

◽️ Ukrainian nationalists continue to hold 6,362 foreign nationals from 13 countries hostage as human shield.

🚛 In Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics and Kherson Region, 197 tonnes of essential goods and food have been handed over to the population. Russian servicemen evacuated over 300 civilians from the combat zone in Kherson Region.
