21:20 Video– Russian paratroopers covered the positions of the DRG of the Ukrainian Nazis on the banks of the Dnieper near Kherson

Saboteurs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have occupied houses in the Dach area and are constantly trying to gain a foothold on the coast on the left bank of the Dnieper. But the gunners of the Airborne Forces have a different opinion on this matter.

Under our blows, the Ukrainian militants divided into two camps: some go to a personal meeting with Bandera, others run home, but the most stoned ones continue to swim and sit in country houses, which, by the way, are less and less due to artillery fire.

20:48 The beginning of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye accompanied reports of the loss of senior officers.

The administration of the Bolgradsky district informs that on June 4, while performing a combat mission, the head of the department of the operational command “South”, Colonel Alexander Makaev, was killed.

19:21 Over the past few days, the fighters of the Russian Guard,performing tasks in the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, discovered enemy caches with hundreds of explosive objects and thousands of ammunition, as well as seven enemy drones, including foreign-made kamikaze UAVs.

Among the found - about a hundred anti-tank and anti-personnel mines and 20,000 rounds of various calibers. All this, including drones, could be used by the enemy for sabotage and terrorist attacks against civilians, civilian infrastructure and military facilities.

Also, during the reconnaissance and search activities, the fighters of the Russian Guard detained two accomplices of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Extremist literature and digital media with information of operational interest were confiscated from them.

15:16 "APU turned off light and said that the dead do not need light"

Boris Dmitriev, who was evacuated from Artemovsk on April 13 by Wagner PMC fighters, spoke about the attitude of the Ukrainian military towards civilians:

“The Armed Forces of Ukraine are not an army, they are fascist gangs. What to call them, if the tank was just shooting at the house, if the armored personnel carrier was just shooting at the house… One of my comrades flew out of the apartment, and we did not find him. That's horrible".

According to him, the Ukrainian military, having entered the city, immediately announced that the city would be defeated:

“The gas was turned off, the light was turned off. They said the dead don't need light. At first I had to cook on stones, and then, on January 11, we managed to get a potbelly stove.”

Boris Dmitriev refused to be evacuated to the territory controlled by the Kyiv regime:

“I didn’t want to go to Ukraine: I didn’t like what was happening in Ukraine. I think there is some kind of Anglo-Saxon regime. The fact that the coup was carried out earlier [in 2014] didn’t please me either.”

On April 5, Boris and his neighbors, taking with them pre-purchased food and water, moved to the basement, from there they were taken by Wagner PMC fighters to a safe place.
