The main forces of the airborne troops connected with the units of the Russian landing on Gostomel, blocking Kiev from the Western side, the Ministry of Defense reported.
The Russian Defense Ministry comments on the course of the special operation:
▪️ The main forces of the airborne troops connected with the units of the Russian landing on Gostomel, blocking Kiev from the west.
▪️ More than 200 Russian helicopters were involved in the operation. The success of the landing was ensured by the suppression of the entire air defense system in the landing area, the complete isolation of the combat area from the air and the active conduct of electronic warfare.
▪️ During the capture of the airfield, more than 200 nationalists from the special units of Ukraine were destroyed. There are no losses in the Russian armed forces.
▪️ Russian units completed the blockade of Chernigov.
▪️ The Armed Forces of Ukraine have deployed installations of Grad multiple launch rocket systems on Shevchenko Square in Kiev.
Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are committing a war crime, using the civilian population as a shield for artillery.
“These techniques are actively used by terrorists supervised by the CIA in the Middle East and in other countries,” the Defense Ministry added.
▪️ The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not mainly participate in hostilities, only battalions of Ukrainian Nazis offer fierce resistance.
▪️ There have been cases of lynching and reprisals by nationalists against conscripts who do not want to fight to intimidate the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️ The leadership of Ukraine uses the methods of terrorists and wants to use Ukrainians as human shields.
▪️ Pentagon and CIA advisers taught Kiev how to place rocket artillery systems in residential areas to provoke return fire.
