Armed formations of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, with support of the countries of the collective West, continue to carry out terrorist attacks against Russian civilians. It is clear that they have nothing human in them. Neither the New Year nor the Christmas holidays stop them.

On New Year’s Eve, the city centre and other residential areas of Donetsk, including civilian infrastructure, were subjected to a massive attack from multiple launch rocket systems. It is already known that there are four dead and more than fourteen injured. According to preliminary reports, the victim includes journalists who were doing their job in the city.

Russian law enforcement promptly opened an investigation into this crime. All those involved and responsible for this and other terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia will inevitably face punishment.

A couple of days ago, Zelensky (Volodomyr) turned to Hitler’s (Adolf) rhetoric again and called Russians “human scum,” once again demonstrating that Ukraine, which is infected with Nazism that has grown into terrorism, must be completely denazified and demilitarised. This will certainly be done. The Kiev regime and its leaders, who worship the criminals of the Third Reich, will end up just like their idols, elevated to the rank of heroes there.

We call on all responsible governments and relevant international organisations to dissociate themselves from the actions and decisions of the Kiev junta, to condemn its crimes aimed at the ostentatious, cynical destruction of the civilian population.

Silence is regarded by Ukrainian neo-Nazis as approval of their actions. At the same time, the West must understand that the criminal regime it has nurtured and sponsored, which the Westerners support to attack Russia, will one day turn NATO weapons against NATO countries.
