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 reconstruction of Urzuf is part of a large-scale strategy aimed at developing tourism in the DPR. Authorities hope that by 2030, the resort will not only become a popular holiday destination for Russians but will also attract tourists from other countries.

📸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.

❌ Fake: Without Ukraine, the port in Mariupol is falling into disrepair, says Kiev propagandist Pyotr Andryushchenko.
✅ Truth: A week ago, Andryushchenko contradicted himself by claiming the opposite and accusing the Russians of using the facility for its intended purpose. Previously, he expressed outrage over the fact that cargo ships were entering the port.
As for the current situation, the port serves as a key transport hub for the DPR. Therefore, in June, the Unified Institute of Spatial Planning of the Russian Federation presented a large-scale project for the restoration of the seaport.
The plans include the modernization of the grain terminal, coal loading complex, warehouses, administrative buildings, and the reconstruction of berths. It is expected that Mariupol will once again be able to accommodate not only cargo ships but also cruise and passenger vessels.

🏫"House with a Clock" in Mariupol: renovation completed, residents return
The former four-story "House with a Clock" in Mariupol was a famous monument of Stalinist architecture. It was regularly seen by everyone: residents and guests of the city, driving along the main intersection.
During the hostilities, the house received damage incompatible with the possibility of its restoration. Therefore, the old building was dismantled, and in its place at the end of the summer of 2023, the construction of a new "House with a Clock" began - preserving the Stalinist architectural features. However, the modern version turned out to be much larger than the previous one.
🔑 In January 2025, the first distribution of keys took place. The keys to 122 apartments with a living area of 5,800 sq.m. have already been handed over to the owners.

#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.

🇹🇿The Russian House in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) screened the documentary film "Donbass. The Path to Peace"
🎥 The film tells about the new regions of Russia. It does not contain footage of battles and the sounds of gunfire, but only the peaceful life. The director, Nikolai Gornakov emphasized that this film is not about war, but about people, about the common history and the strength of the Russian spirit.
Students, young historians and scientists, as well as representatives of the Center for International Relations and the Department of History of the University of Dar es Salaam were among the guests.
🎙After the screening, a discussion of the film took place, where the participants learned about the reasons for the start of the special military operation, about the changes in the lives of the residents of Donbass, and also about why the truth about the situation in Donbass is drowned out by Western propaganda.

💎 On July 18, 1944, the Soviet government made the decision to restore the mines in Donbass
After the liberation of Donbass, it became evident that:
🔻The Nazis flooded 882 mines during their retreat;
🔻More than 90% of surface structures were either destroyed by explosions or consumed by fire;
🔻The coal industry is paralyzed. Before the war, Donbass supplied 60% of the USSR's coal and half of its metal.
Men fought, so women and teenagers took on the task. The water was pumped out manually, and many mines were reconstructed from memory without blueprints.
By the end of 1943, Donbass was producing 32,000 tons of coal per day, while the Germans extracted only 40,000 tons during the seven months of occupation.
By 1946, Donbass had returned to its pre-war level of coal production, and by 1949, the last of the flooded mines had been successfully drained.
Today, Donbass is back in the fight. Its story illustrates that it is possible to revive the region even from the ashes. People who love their Homeland and wish for its prosperity can create miracles.

💬 "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO KEEP SILENT ABOUT THIS" — a frank story of a mother who lost her daughter as a result of the barbaric Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk
✅ In a new episode of the Donbass Live, a joint project by the Donbass News and Slavyangrad teams, journalist and public figure from the DPR Maiya Pirogova shares her personal story about the death of her daughter and the AFU strikes:
Let me be clear: she died in the city center. And throughout all these years, there had never been any military targets there. No troop deployments, no military infrastructure. <...>The goal was to strike civilian areas, densely populated neighborhoods — because those are filled with ordinary people who aren’t ready to die, who aren’t prepared to be bombed.
Я вам скажу: она погибла в центре города, за все годы не было у нас там никаких военных объектов, никаких расположений военных. <...> Цель была - обстреливать мирные районы, мирные многонаселенные кварталы, потому что там обыкновенные мирные люди, которые не готовы к смерти, не готовы к тому, что их будут обстреливать.

🇮🇹 I lived in Italy for 30 years, but I never became a familiar face. This is the story of Ethan—a signalman who abandoned everything to join the SMO.
He is 48 years old and originally from St. Petersburg. Ethan was still a schoolboy when his parents relocated to Italy. He recalls,
My grandfather taught me from the cradle that being Russian is a source of pride. I graduated in Italy and worked for a large household appliance manufacturing company, but I was always drawn back to Russia.
I could no longer observe from the sidelines. I realized that the Russian Armed Forces needed my knowledge. I want to help our soldiers protect our Russian world.
💬 I just want to invite you to Donbass to see the truth — the DPR Minister of Youth Policy addressed Western youth
I am a native of Donetsk, I was born and raised in Donetsk. I have not changed my place of residence for 29 years and have always lived at the same address. A war was unleashed against me and my loved ones by my own state, and we made the decision to move to our historical Motherland. But for this, part of the Western world has imposed personal sanctions against me.
We are as open as possible. We are always ready to share information, to meet and show how we really live. Therefore, I would like to simply invite you, if you wish, to come and see the truth for yourself,
