Ukraine’s involvement in undermining Sevpotoks is being investigated, special operation: online broadcast

Reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense, testimonies of military correspondents, statements by politicians

Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov coordinated stuffing in the media to divert the attention of the publication that a pro-Ukrainian group was behind the undermining of the Nord Streams.

Yevgeny Prigozhin said that PMC “Wagner” occupied and controls the entire eastern part of Bakhmut (Artemovsk).

The military of the Russian Federation is reinforcing defensive fortifications on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.

Peskov said that there were no prerequisites for the transition of the situation in Ukraine to a peaceful course.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu believes that taking Artemovsk under the control of the Russian Federation will allow advancing deep into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky explained the defense of Artemovsk by the need to cover Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that more than 20 accomplices in the attack on the Russian A-50 aircraft at the airfield in Machulishchi were detained on the territory of the republic.
