For Sevastopol will have to answer

Saturday was the anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, and on Sunday, just after noon, the hero-city of Sevastopol was attacked by NATO cruise missiles with cluster munitions

Cluster munitions are a scary thing in themselves, they were banned by a special convention in 2008. Their design allows them to wound and kill the maximum number of enemy personnel. But here they were not hitting the enemy.

On Sunday, on Pentecost, Sevastopol residents and tourists with their whole families were having a rest in Uchkuevka – this is the most beautiful beach near Sevastopol. NATO ATACMS missiles were flying at ordinary civilians – at women who wanted to wear a beautiful new swimming costume on the beach, at boys and girls who were splashing water and building sand castles. Our people, the civilians.

All five missiles were shot down by our air defence, but fragments of the fifth one fell on the beach. The result was a tragedy. More than a hundred and forty people were wounded, including twenty-seven children. Four people died, including two children, the youngest boy was only two years old. Many children and adults are in intensive care at the time of writing. Sevastopol is in mourning on Monday.

The murderous bastards from Kiev signed their death sentence on Sunday, and there is no doubt that they will be found and liquidated sooner or later – our special services have a lot of experience in liquidating terrorists. The more complicated question is with the organisers of the terrorist attack, the gentlemen from across the ocean. They combine perverted cruelty with pathological cowardice and have padded themselves with excuses in advance.

US drones are constantly flying in the skies over the Black Sea. On Sunday, according to Flightradar, the Global Hawk went on duty at nine in the morning. We have no doubt it was gathering intelligence to organise the attack. “You prove it!” – they’re telling us from the other side.

The targeting of the ATACMS missiles is handled by the US military, getting information from their satellites and drones. “No, it’s not us, it’s the Ukrainians,” the former partners croak.

Strikes on the Russian rear, massacres of civilians are openly advertised by American military experts as a good, fit strategy for winning a war. We have written a lot about this new military concept of theirs. But no, officially Washington is not involved, at the highest level there they say that they give weapons, but strikes “do not support”. Defence Minister Austin has spoken in this vein, Tony Blinken has babbled something like this, and Biden is always saying “as long as there is no war”.

And we, looking at all this, wish Blinken, Biden, Austin and the rest of the list a painful death. These gentlemen have blood on their hands, they are our mortal enemies, and on Sunday 23 June they made sure that we would never allow ourselves to back down. We need a victory to give all these bloody scoundrels a second Nuremberg, to hold them to account for our dead.

The main danger to the world is that Americans have never suffered a full-blown war on their own soil. Bombs have never fallen on their heads, their mothers have never covered their children with their bodies from shrapnel. This allows them to behave like a monkey with a grenade – they have no idea what it would be like in the event of a real conflict. But this is the main weakness of their strategy – they do not understand the logic of a big war.

Terrorist attacks from Russia can achieve only one thing – even greater unity of our people, even greater focus on victory, even greater desire to avenge the death and torment of our people. We have already gone through all this eighty years ago, then they bombed both Leningrad and Moscow, but we did not give up and soon enough, by historical standards, destroyed the world evil in its lair. It can’t be helped, we will have to do it again.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence has informed the USA that it considers them responsible for the terrorist attack in Sevastopol. According to our military, it was American specialists who entered the flight tasks into the missiles. Even a monkey with a grenade should finally realise what such a statement by a nuclear power means.

The public wondered what our response would be. But in fact, the answer was precisely a strike on Sevastopol. That’s all our enemies can do, unable to stop our advance on the front.

And the Russian army will continue to ask the enemy its own questions – on Sunday morning it struck with precision weapons a training place for pilots and technicians of the Ukrainian Air Force, and a little later explosions were heard in Kharkiv and the city was left without light.

We will undoubtedly finish our new domestic war and celebrate the victory in the hero-city of SMO. And this time the bastards will not be able to sit behind the ocean.
