According to him, the Kyiv regime continues to fabricate provocative materials about the death of civilians due to indiscriminate artillery fire of the Russian army.Foreign Ministry: Western intelligence services create public opinion by provocations in Ukraine of the Russian military,» which are planned to be widely disseminated in the Western media and on Internet resources in the near future,» the general said. He added that such inhuman provocations once again prove that all moral norms and principles of international humanitarian law are alien to the Ukrainian authorities, and the lives of civilians are absolutely not important. In addition, Mizintsev said, the nationalists are still equipping firing positions in schools and residential buildings. Such cases are recorded in Kharkov and Odessa. “The militants of the nationalist battalions continue to work out the methods of the Nazis of the last century with particular cruelty and sophistication,” the general emphasized. On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin stressed, its goal is «to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian military strikes only on military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population. The ministry called the liberation of Donbass the main goal of the operation.
