Destroyed buildings in the industrial area of Rubizhne. Archival photoMOSCOW, May 24Ukraine's Security Service, at the suggestion of Western curators, is preparing provocations in grain storage areas to accuse the Russian military of indiscriminate shelling, said the head of Russia's interdepartmental coordinating headquarters for humanitarian response, head of the National Control Center Defense Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev.
"According to the previously worked out scenario in the cities of Rubizhne, Luhansk People's Republic and Orekhov, Zaporozhye region, in order to accuse Russian military personnel of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on civilian infrastructure in the village of Prosyanaya, Dnepropetrovsk region, militants of nationalist formations mined the "Prosyansky elevator" , which is planned to be blown up in the near future", he said at a briefing.
In addition, according to him, in the village of Vrubovka of the LPR, on the territory of the grain plant, installations of the MLRS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located. At the same time, the nationalists systematically fire at the positions of the Russian Armed Forces, provoking them to return fire, Mizintsev added. Such actions by Ukrainian militants copy the “scorched earth” tactics used by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War, and contradict all generally accepted norms of morality and the principles of international humanitarian law, General emphasized.
The Investigative Committee will study the testimony of a British mercenary in the case of a provocation in Bucha. Mizintsev also accused the Kyiv regime of trying to please Western countries and export grain along the so-called «corridors of solidarity», not caring about the fate of the people. At the same time, the humanitarian situation in the regions controlled by the Ukrainian authorities is rapidly deteriorating and is rapidly approaching a critical point. According to the UN Children's Fund, 8.7 million people are hungry in the country, and 22.8 percent of children under the age of five suffer from malnutrition, he stressed. Russia has been conducting a military operation since February 24 to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin emphasized, 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 armed forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. By the end of March, they managed to «significantly reduce the combat potential of Ukraine.» The ministry called the liberation of Donbass the main goal of the operation.
