Military operation in Ukraine. March 27:The information space exploded with shocking video footage of abuse of captured

MOSCOW: The information space exploded with shocking video footage of abuse of captured Russian soldiers. With special cynicism and cruelty, Ukrainian nationalists of one of the ultra-radical battalions tie up and shoot our servicemen. Some of them died right in the frame. Such a terrible picture took place at one of the bases of militants in the Kharkov region. 

The head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered a thorough investigation into the incident. Even in Western countries, they finally saw the true face of the Nazis, their terrorist methods and methods, not only in relation to prisoners, but also to civilians. There are many such examples. But they only noticed now. And the notorious Arestovich, the propagandist mouthpiece of the Kiev junta, called on the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the territorial defense to comply with the provisions of the Geneva Convention. Like, the case is isolated and the "defenders of the square" strictly follow the principles of democracy. An essential detail that becomes a pattern.

The closer you feel the breath of the military defeat of Kyiv, the more hysteria, an avalanche of fakes, ridiculous attempts at intimidation in the media and social networks. Any reason (regrouping of forces, changing the routes of advance, occupying and leaving settlements) in the actions of the Russian troops is interpreted as a schizophrenic fiction. Just two examples. The mayor of Chernihiv will hysteria about the imminent storming of the city for days in a row. Sentinel, multiple launch rocket launchers are on direct fire. In some villages of the Sumy and Nikolaev regions, they are ringing about looting by the army. Fear has big eyes. In fact, it soon became clear that the real marauders were members of the local organized group (OCG) "Batsmanskie". On the hands of issued and uncontrolled weapons, and in large quantities. They escape from the defense and stupidly engage in robbery and violence. This is becoming widespread in Kyiv, Kharkov, and a number of other cities. 

In fact, units and subunits of the Russian army are pulling up reserves: military equipment, heavy weapons in the direction of the main attack - to the Donbass. By the way, this was directly stated when summing up the results of the first stage of the special operation.

Through the territory of Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye regions, the movement of columns in an easterly direction was noticed. A thorough cleansing is being carried out in the controlled territory and military-civilian administrations and commandant's offices are being created. For example, in Energodar, a people's council was formed for the self-organization of the city. In other places, where local leaders themselves make contact with the military, joint patrols are organized. 

In the settlements where separate units of the Ukrainian army settled, as well as in large agglomerations (Kharkiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Nikolaev), no one lifted the blockade. Moreover, the powerful fist of the Russian Armed Forces is concentrated in the Kharkov direction. Apparently, in the coming days we should expect special activity here. But after the completion of a breakthrough to a greater depth along the Slavyansk-Barvenkovo-Kramatorsk line.Despite the enemy's attempts to gain a foothold on the new lines of defense, 

tactical groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being destroyed by massive artillery and aviation fire. There is almost no resistance along the advance detachment routes from two directions - southern and northern. The remaining brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the national battalions are being compressed in the Kurakhovo, Avdeevka, and Marinka regions. Units of the DPR and LPR are skillfully operating there.

Mariupol, divided into two sectors during the assault, is no longer a "besieged fortress", as it was two weeks ago. In incredibly difficult conditions (the main task is to save civilians), special units operate smoothly and skillfully. The militants infiltrate residential areas and, under the guise of civilians, try to leave the city. The Nazis who have settled in the workshops of the plant and the buildings of the industrial zone are methodically destroyed by sniper and machine-gun fire. There were prisoners, their number is growing.

In general, the situation is very difficult. Despite the tangible successes of the allied forces on the eastern sector of the front (Donbass), there are a lot of complex and responsible tasks ahead that will have to be solved not only by the military.

Everyone is concerned about the further fate of Ukraine and at what lines the army will stop. In the near future, I am sure, we will find answers to these questions.
