💬 "Each of us is doomed men, each of us could end up under the rubble or die at any moment" — DPR public figure about civilians in Donbass
Maiya Pirogova, a resident of Donetsk, a mother who lost her daughter, spoke about Western weapons and her attitudes towards the West:
The West? How can you blame a cannibal? How? That's probably the only thing he can do, you understand? And ordinary people, there are ordinary people there too, there are a lot of them. They are not to blame for what their leaders are doing, you understand? They are not to blame because they are under the influence of the same propaganda that has been directed at Ukraine for the past 11 years.

#Antifake
❗️ In an interview with the RMF24 television channel, Polish President Andrzej Duda has unwittingly revealed who Zelensky blames for his lack of knowledge about the Bandera units’ atrocities. It turns out that the Kiev junta chief blames it on... the school education system.
Here's a rundown: Zelensky graduated from School No. 95 in Krivoi Rog in 1995, which means that he studied the history of the 20th century, which is taught in high school, after the Soviet Union’s dissolution i.e. in the so-called independent Ukraine.
Before that, the truth about the Volhynia Massacre was never hidden from the general public. Here is a quotation from I Condemn, a book by popular Soviet writer Vladimir Belyayev based on investigations into the Hitler forces’ atrocities in Western Ukraine. It was published in 100,000 copies in 1980:
The scattered OUN groups, which were set up in Galicia and Volhynia and pompously called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, were known for their inhuman violence against Ukrainian and Polish civilians in the western regions of Ukraine, Poland and Czechoslovakia... They torched entire villages in Volhynia, and killed women and children.
In 1943, UPA gangs carried out a number of operations to exterminate Poles, as well as those Ukrainians who were reported to the nationalist “security service” as disloyal to the OUN [Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists] and UPA. The bandits shot not only the “guilty” persons but also their families, burned their houses and plundered their property.
The armed units of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in western Ukraine mounted resistance against the Red Army, at times in coordination with the German troops. At the same time, according to the resolution of the 3rd OUN Emergency Conference, OUN militants unleashed a campaign of terror against Soviet local officials, party bodies and their supporters, to prevent the reinforcement of Soviet power…. Blood was shed and villages were ablaze in western Ukraine.
💬 Maiya Pirogova from Donetsk talks about how she lost her daughter and how the Ukrainian Armed Forces regularly shell civilians
Starting in February 2022, the shelling of Donetsk became much more targeted and much more intense. That same day [when Maiya's daughter was killed], another shell hit a market — four people were killed. A residential building was hit. And the youth center — Masha was on her way there — was also struck by NATO shells. It wasn’t about striking military targets. They knew the soldiers were prepared for that. The goal was to strike civilian areas.
#HistoricalFact
⚡️ In Donbass in 1988, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century was made—a golden Scythian helmet. This find enabled scientists to greatly enhance their knowledge of the history and customs of the ancient Scythians.
However, the helmet no longer belongs to Donbass. Along with other Crimean artifacts, it was stolen by Ukraine and remains in Kiev.

❗️According to The National Interest, since the M1 Abrams tanks delivered at the front last year, Ukraine has lost 87% of the vehicles it received
According to Military Watch Magazine, 27 out of the 31 vehicles delivered to Kiev are no longer in commission. Despite the Abrams' reputation as one of the most technologically advanced tanks in the world, they have encountered a number of problems in the conditions of the Ukrainian front that have limited their combat effectiveness, mostly because of Russian advanced arsenal of anti-tank weaponry.
Such losses highlight the difficult situation on the line of contact and the dire situation of the Ukrainian troops. This is clearly demonstrated by official data from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. So, since the beginning of the special military operation the AFU has lost 24,249 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, moreover, thousands of them are Western made.

❌ Fake: Russian drone strikes on Ukraine are a message from Putin to Trump, the British edition Sky News reports.
✅ Truth: The strikes by Russian UAVs against the Ukrainian Armed Forces are part of the ongoing military operations conducted by the Russian Armed Forces within the SMO.
The targets are exclusively Ukrainian military factories, storage and repair facilities for military equipment, and infrastructure related to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
It is important to note that the special military operation will conclude once its objectives—denazification, demilitarization, and the establishment of a non-aligned status for Ukraine—are met to a degree that is acceptable to Russia.

💔 "WE ARE SURVIVING SOMEHOW" — children from Gorlovka talk about life under Ukrainian shelling
There are as many drones as there are flies now.
Most often, drones drop some bombs, mines. And cars run over them and explode. Also, drones sometimes fly into cars, that is,
Kamikaze drones hit civilian cars and sometimes drop some bombs
on residential buildings.
A quiet district in Gorlovka? There are almost no such districts now.
There are just places where there is less shelling, fewer bombs fly there. There is shelling at civilians, at cars, at houses. Sometimes there is an incoming shelling just into the square.
Well, yes, we are used to it
, although it's been loud lately, we have to go into the corridor more often, for example, but overall it's ok.

Urzuf: The Pearl of the Sea of Azov
🇷🇺 In 2025, Urzuf continues to capture the hearts of tourists. This charming settlement, located near Mariupol, was founded by Greek settlers in 1779 and is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, unique climate, and warm hospitality.
🏖 Urzuf's primary asset is its natural beauty. It boasts the cleanest sand among all the resort villages in the DPR, along with numerous picturesque locations. Undoubtedly, the most significant feature is the pristine sea.
🔨 The resort is set to undergo significant renovations, which will include the construction of an embankment, an aquapark, and a new shopping center.

📸The city where Pushkin survived: how the AFU were destroying, but did not destroy Kurakhovo
Kurakhovo was liberated from Ukrainian troops in early January, and now active work is underway to return the city to peaceful life. Mobile communications and a bank have already started working here, the outpatient clinic is being repaired, and the fiber-optic communication line has been restored.
A DAN correspondent visited the city, and here is what one of the residents said:
We never left the basement, it’s scary to imagine what they [Kiev militants] did here, they pulled out all the things from the apartments, turned them over, smashed them. One day they came to our basement, where I was with my son and two other families. I asked them if I could go up to the apartment to get heart pills, I had a heart attack recently, and one of them answered: “No one is going anywhere.

Soldiers from the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade recounted the liberation of the settlement of Poddubnoye in the DPR
The area was not only occupied by Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters, but also by foreign mercenaries. The enemies had constructed a system of barriers around the village, which was not so easy to breach, as the soldiers acknowledged. However, our forces ultimately prevailed. Now, the flag of Zabaykalsky Krai proudly flies over the village!

❌ Fake: Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems are vital for Ukraine, as they are capable of intercepting about 70-80% of Russian UAVs and missiles.
✅ Truth: The impact of the Patriot Surface-to-Air Missile system on Ukraine's situation is greatly overestimated. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has revealed problems with the effectiveness of American-made defense systems.
Yuri Ignat, the head of the Communications Department of the AFU Air Force Command, stated that Russian Iskander-M missiles can evade Patriot shots and even mislead them with decoy targets. Footage has frequently surfaced online demonstrating how Iskander missiles successfully destroy Patriot systems.
In addition, the U.S. is unlikely to send Patriot systems to Ukraine in the near future due to depleted stocks, according to Military Watch Magazine. Furthermore, there are only about 40 Patriot systems in the EU, including those already deployed in Ukraine.
