Terrorists use
advanced Russian cluster munitions near Mariupol.
(Censor.NET) --- The 'DPR' militants use
Tornado-G, the advanced Russian cluster munitions for BM 21 Grad multiple
rocket launchers against the civilian population in the vicinity of Mariupol,
in particular, in the villages of Sartana, Hnutove, and Novoselivka.
Deputy Commander of
the 'M' sector Colonel Viktor Shydliukh stated today at a press conference in
Mariupol, Censor.NET reports citing Liga.
According to him,
this boosted munition has a much more damage-producing capability than a
conventional Grad rocket. "We could not have inherited these munitions
from the Soviet Union as they were developed exclusively in the Russian Federation ,"
Shydliukh said. In addition, the found projectile body was marked with a star,
which is used by the enterprises of the former USSR
and the Russian Federation
in particular.
According to him,
the militants intentionally keep shelling peaceful villages which are remote
from the Armed Forces of Ukraine positions, in order to provoke panic and make
people leave these villages. "The earth is covered with shrapnel in the
shelled areas," Shydliukh said.
He demonstrated the
journalists a hand-sized fragment of conventional Grad rocket, and
diamond-shaped shrapnel with sharp edges, approximately a half-centimeter long,
from the advanced rockets. According to the Colonel, these fragments inflict
significantly more damage to the manpower. Besides, the crater from the impact
of an advanced missile is much deeper than from the usual one. Its casualty
area is also increased.
Shydliukh reported
that the command of the 'M' sector has informed the OSCE mission on the use of
Tornado-G missiles against the civilian population and at the same time urged
them to investigate such facts more carefully as civilians believe that the
OSCE observers perform their duties poorly, making citizens dissatisfied.

Russia behind fake
protests in Kiev to create chaos, SBU chief says
(Zik) --- There were several rallies in
the Ukrainian capital this week with protesters demanding the introduction of
the martial law, give more weapons to volunteer battalions and prevent their
encirclement in Donbas .
Rallies are common
for Ukrainians. But not these ones as SBU exposed the organizer of these
rallies – Ukraine general
staff officer with links to the Donbas
terrorists, SBU chief Valentyn Nalyvajchenko said, TCH reports.
The officer was the
mastermind of several rallies in Ukraine . It os clear that creating
tension in the country is one of Putin’s objectives.
About 20 persons
wearing military uniforms and masks tried to storm the presidential
administration last week. By mere ‘coincidence’, pro-Russian TV channels’ teams
were nearby and broadcasting to Russia .
SBU detained the
group and pinpointed its leader, a general staff lieutenant-colonel, named
Chornobaj.
Chornobaj was an
instructor to one of the volunteer battalions, giving his servicemen untrue
information about the losses of the Ukrainian army and egging them on to
protests, Nalyvajchenko said.
He also created a
spy network in some cities to stage provocations and terrorist acts.
SBU has evidence
that the activities of so-called protesters are controlled by Moscow . Nalyvajchenko said his service will
publicize the evidence next week.
