Russian troops landed successfully near the Gostomel airfield in the suburbs of Kiev. There are no losses among the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Defense reported. About the main achievements of the operation for the denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine to this hour - in the material.

“Lynching and reprisals”

“Groups of troops of the DPR and LPR are developing the success of the attack on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with fire support from the armed forces of the Russian Federation,” said the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov at press conferences.

According to him, units of the Luhansk People's Republic advanced 12 kilometers in the Severodonetsk direction. At the same time, the troops of the Donetsk People's Republic moved 11 kilometers in the direction of Volnovakha "deep into the defense of the nationalist battalions."

“The units of the armed forces of Ukraine mostly do not participate in hostilities. Only battalions of Ukrainian Nazis provide fierce resistance, ”the representative of the Ministry of Defense specified.

He added that the Security Service of Ukraine managed to infiltrate regular military units "groups of notorious nationalists numbering 25-30 people who have undergone special training." They "reveal unreliable among the Ukrainian servicemen." In the event of a retreat, the nationalists "act as barrage detachments."

Konashenkov said that they were also undermining bridges, cutting off the retreat for Ukrainian military units and subunits.

“There have been more than one case of lynching and reprisals by nationalists over conscripts who do not want to fight to intimidate the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian servicemen who laid down their arms speak about this,” Konashenkov said.

In addition, during the capture of the airfield, “more than 200 nationalists” from special units of Ukraine were killed.

“There are no casualties in the Russian armed forces,” the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry emphasized.

A war crime of the Ukrainian army

“Intelligence data show that Grad multiple rocket launchers have been deployed on Shevchenko Square in Kiev to strike at the Gostomel airfield,” a Defense Ministry spokesman said.

He explained that the placement of rocket artillery systems in residential areas was taught to the Ukrainian military leadership by advisers from the Pentagon and the CIA. So they provoke return fire, under which local residents will fall.

“The use of residential areas by the Kiev regime to cover the firing positions of its artillery is a war crime,” the Ministry of Defense is convinced.

Konashenkov added that this "handwriting" is well known to Russia: these "techniques are actively used by terrorists supervised by the CIA in the Middle East and other countries."

“I appeal to Ukrainian citizens. Your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as the terrorists. They want to use you as a human shield. The Russian armed forces will not inflict any strikes on residential areas of the Ukrainian capital, ”the representative of the Ministry of Defense assured.
