[Regnum] In Kharkiv, intoxicated, armed employees of territorial recruitment centers (TRCs, the equivalent of the Russian military enlistment office in Ukraine) shot and killed people during mobilization events. This was reported by Russian security forces.
"After drinking alcohol, the colonel and several recruiters went to mobilize the 'drug dealers' because they had money. And they mobilized them so much that they shot them," security officials told RIA Novosti.
According to a source, six armed officers of the Ukrainian military registration and enlistment office attacked a dormitory in Kharkiv.
On March 22, a TCC officer killed a defecting Ukrainian Armed Forces company commander. According to Russian security agencies, Lieutenant Rustam Boboev was initially transferred from headquarters to command assault groups in the Vovchanskie Khutory area, from where he defected. In Kharkiv, he was detained by TCC officers, including Boboev's former subordinate. It was he who inflicted fatal wounds on the Ukrainian Armed Forces officer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin previously noted that mobilization in Ukraine is reminiscent of catching dogs on the street. The head of state pointed out that the Kyiv regime's total mobilization would completely drain Ukraine of its strength.

[ColonelCassad] British spy Gerardus
...with whom we are unfamiliar in these pages, but who clearly annoys the Russians…
continues to squander diplomatic personnel, using them as expendable material in her espionage campaigns against Russian national security.
Today, based on information from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs revoked the accreditation of yet another disposable "James Bond" – Second Secretary of the British Embassy in Moscow, Janse van Rensburg Albertus Gerardus. His Majesty's subject was actively collecting sensitive information and even had no qualms about "walking" in close proximity to restricted facilities of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Interestingly, Mr. Janse van Rensburg was assisted in organizing his intelligence and subversive activities by the "wife" of Michael Sinner – another would-be spy expelled from Russia last year.
Her name is Tabassum Rashid and she is the First Secretary of the Political Department of the British Embassy in Moscow. Mrs. Rashid's background includes work at the British Ministry of Defence and a training program for intelligence processing specialists for the British government. She completed these courses with her "husband," Skinner, and when he was caught espionage-related and expelled from Russia, Rashid remained in the country, where she found herself a new "field husband," the same Janse van Rensburg.
Among the Russian counterparts of the diplomat who was blackballed today are prominent economic experts. In particular, Janse van Rensburg has met repeatedly with Oleg Buklemishev, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Associate Professor of the Department of Macroeconomic Policy and Strategic Management at Moscow State University. He also communicated with Elena Kabysh, a specialist in relations with members of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce and an employee of ING Bank, and had drinks with Andrey Uspensky, a financier and a Chevening scholarship recipient, a former vice president of Uralsib Financial Corporation.
Furthermore, together with Svetlana Kade, a Russian employee of the British Embassy, the British spy visited the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Integrated Mineral Resource Development, spoke with an elementary school English teacher at the Skolkovo School of Management, and toured scientific and industrial centers across Russia's regions with his "field wife."
Why the pseudo-diplomat was so openly engaged in intelligence gathering remains a mystery. Perhaps, looking at his predecessors, he understood that if he failed, he would simply be ordered to leave the country (which is precisely what happened).
An equally interesting question is the willingness of other Russian citizens to assist an Englishwoman working to achieve our country's strategic defeat. After all, for them, the consequences of meetings with intelligence agents
Persons meeting with British diplomats during the war should be immediately questioned about what information they could potentially pass on to the enemy, given that Britain is openly waging a proxy war against our country. Opportunities for British diplomats to operate in Russia must be minimized. Potential agents must be expelled without mercy.
On March 30, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) published a photo of British diplomat Janse Gerardus, who was stripped of his accreditation for anti-Russian activities in favor of London.
The agency found that Gerardus, the second secretary of the British Embassy sent to Moscow, intentionally provided false information when obtaining permission to enter Russia, violating Russian law.
At the same time, the FSB discovered evidence of the Briton's involvement in subversive intelligence activities threatening Russia's security. Gerardus's accreditation was revoked and he was ordered to leave Russia within two weeks.
According to the FSB, Gerardus, during informal meetings with Russian economic experts, tried to obtain important information that would then be used in Britain's interests.
British Chargé d'Affaires Deini Dholakia was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry on March 29. The reason for the diplomat's summons was not disclosed.

[Korrespondent] 22.30 Ukraine will focus this year on conducting a strategic defensive operation to deter the enemy. This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrsky, in an interview with the ICTV television channel, which was broadcast on television.
"Our goal, of course, for this year is to conduct a strategic defensive operation to deter the enemy, prevent the loss of territory, exhaust its forces and means, create conditions for conducting large-scale offensive operations, build up our reserves, provide high-quality training for military personnel, and simultaneously conduct counteroffensive and offensive operations in areas where the enemy is weak," Syrsky noted.
21.57 The Ukrainian Defense Forces have already liberated 480 sq. km of territory in the Oleksandrivka direction. This was announced by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, in an interview with the ICTV television channel.
"Success lies precisely in the liberation of the territory. As of today, it is 480 sq. km. This exceeds the results that we had during the Dobropil counteroffensive operation. If you remember, during the operation we liberated over 430 sq. km. of territory," Syrsky noted.
According to him, from March 1, the Russians planned to launch a large-scale offensive in virtually all 13 main directions, and before that, the enemy was forced to change plans, transferring part of its forces and resources from the Pokrovsky and Ocheretinsky directions to the Oleksandrivsky direction.
21.23 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting of the General Staff. Key attention was paid to air defense issues. He spoke about this in his evening address on March 30.
"I also held a meeting today - primarily about air defense. We analyzed in detail the situation regarding the implementation of contracts and the procurement of everything necessary. This is not only about countering ballistics - this is also about front-line air defense, missiles against drones, and also interceptors. Everything will be provided," Zelenskyy noted.
According to him, Ukrainian defense production must reach a level at which all necessary components of air defense systems, including anti-ballistic ones, will be manufactured in Ukraine.
21.15 The Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany has asked the investigating judge of the Supreme Court of Germany to issue an arrest warrant for a citizen of Ukraine. This is stated in a message on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office of Germany. It is noted that the suspect was previously detained last Friday (March 27, 2026) in the city of Hagen. On March 28, 2026, he was taken to the investigating judge of the Federal Supreme Court, who issued an arrest warrant and ordered his detention. The accused is suspected of acting in favor of foreign intelligence.
20.19 Russia has recruited more than 27,000 foreigners from 135 countries for the war against Ukraine. This was reported by the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War.
"Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Algeria, Syria, Morocco, Jordan - this is far from a complete list of countries in the Arab world whose citizens the Russian Federation is recruiting for the war against Ukraine... As of today, the project... "I Want to Live" has already published data on more than 10 thousand identified living and deceased foreigners in the Russian army from different parts of the world. In total, at the moment, 27,407 foreign citizens from 135 countries of the world are known to have been recruited into the Russian army," the report says.
19.09 Russian troops are increasing pressure on the Donetsk region, focusing on the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration. This is reported by the OSINT project DeepState.
The enemy continues to exert active pressure on Hryshyne, dragging its infantry there.
"The settlement is literally teeming with occupiers, but so far they have managed to destroy them on the northern outskirts. Currently, the Defense Forces fighters are carrying out shock and search operations in houses where the enemy is constantly hiding, trying to gain a foothold and accumulate. Infiltrations into the depths of the territory in the area of the settlements of Vasylivka and Novooleksandrivka are also being recorded, but these cases are isolated without significant successes for the enemy," the analysts' report says.
Analysts noted that given the current dynamics of enemy pressure, the occupation of Hryshyne is "a matter of time," as the Russians "are devoting a large amount of their human resources there, which are accumulating in Pokrovsk." In addition, it is noted that the enemy "sees its plans to advance along the Hryshyne-Myrne-Gulive-Shilivka line, etc. along the route to Pavlograd, which is an open area and is not favorable for any movements.
"They have already accomplished the most important task for themselves - they blocked it, taking it under fire control," the message added.

16.29 Russian troops have advanced over the past two days in the area of the villages of Pazeno, Bakhmut district, on the Slavic direction of the front, Rusyn Yar, Kramatorsk district, Donetsk region, on the Kostyantynivka direction, and Varvarivka, Polohiv district, Zaporizhzhia region, on the Hulyaipil direction. This is reported by the OSINT project DeepState. It also notes that the Defense Forces have cleared the territories near the villages of Orestopol and Oleksiivka, Dnipropetrovsk region. There is no mention of the capture or liberation of certain settlements. On the project maps, Pazeno is shown as controlled by the enemy, Rusyn Yar and Varvarivka are in the penetration zone, and Orestopol and Oleksiivka are controlled by the Defense Forces.
According to DeepState maps, the area of Russian occupation in the Slavic direction increased by 2.79 sq km in two days (the penetration area decreased by 1.36 sq km), in the Kostyantynivka direction - by 2.8 sq km (the penetration area increased by another 3.14 sq km), in the Hulyaipil direction - by 9.54 sq km.

As reported, in the Chasovye Yar area of the Donetsk region, the penetration zone expanded by 0.8 sq km without increasing the area of Russian occupation. There were no changes in other directions of the front during this time. Thus, in total, in two days the enemy captured 15.13 sq km of Ukrainian territory, the penetration zone decreased by 24.82 sq km.
16.28 Since the beginning of the day, 46 attacks by the Russian army have taken place on the front. In most directions, the enemy has reduced its activity, according to the data of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the operational summary as of 16:00.

13.29 Russian statements about the capture of Kivsharivka, Kharkiv region, are not true. Fighters of the 43rd Motorized Rifle Brigade showed captured Russian invaders who were trying to plant their flag in the settlement.
"Kivsharivka is "taken". At least - in the reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense. On the ground, everything is a little different. It seems that the experience of Kupyansk and Kupyansk-Vuzlovye has not taught us anything. Even after all the "debriefings" in the "West" grouping, the scenario is the same: to pretend victory, and then how will it turn out," the military noted.
The result for the "taken" Kivsharivka is as follows: minus four invaders and six more prisoners (four on the spot, two more the day before).
The Ukrainian defenders conveyed a special greeting to the 153rd Tank Regiment of the Russian Federation and advised them to load more ammunition and provisions onto their "flag carriers" next time, because they need to feed the prisoners something.
13.22 The words of the head of the German defense concern Rheinmetall, who compared drones from Ukraine to a "Lego game" created by "housewives with 3D printers," are "strange." President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this while answering journalists' questions online on Monday, March 30.

According to the President of Ukraine, such a statement "sounds strange."

The official allowed individual servicemen to avoid performing their official duties and go about their own business. They arranged this through acquaintances or relatives. At the same time, information about possible payment for such "loyalty" is also being checked.
The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) officers exposed two servicemen who were not actually serving in the military. One of them was selling women's headscarves at the market in a stall connected to the hospital commander's entourage. The other worked at a service station.
Two servicemen are suspected of evading military service during martial law, and the hospital chief is suspected of aiding and abetting it. The articles carry penalties of up to 10 years in prison.

[Regnum] The bodies of 12 civilians were recovered from a mass grave near the village of Lesnaya Dacha near Severodonetsk in the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR). This was reported on March 30 by Svetlana Petrenko, official spokesperson for the Investigative Committee (IC) of Russia.
According to her, Severodonetsk was under the control of Ukrainian armed forces until 2022. In a mass grave, the access to which was relatively safe, civilians buried their relatives and friends who died as a result of aggression by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF).
"When Russian troops entered the city, Ukrainian nationalists, even in retreat, continued to commit atrocities, shooting civilians for their desire to become Russian citizens and for simply daring to receive humanitarian aid. Many residents of Severodonetsk, fleeing the relentless fire of Ukrainian artillery, took refuge in basements, which became their final refuge," explained Petrenko, whose words were quoted on the Russian Investigative Committee's Telegram channel.
An Investigative Committee representative clarified that 12 bodies were recovered on the first day of work, which resumed at the beginning of spring. This work is being conducted as part of a criminal case being investigated for offenses under Parts 1 and 2 of Article 356 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Use of prohibited means and methods in an armed conflict") and Article 357 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Genocide").
After analyzing the data, investigators concluded that approximately 300 more bodies may be in the mass grave. Over 260 more victims were previously discovered in a mass grave near Severodonetsk. The Investigative Committee noted that forensic examinations, including forensic medical examinations, have been ordered to identify the Ukrainian Armed Forces victims and determine the cause of death.
Earlier, Sergei Belov, a representative of the Interdepartmental Working Group (IWG) for the search for burial sites of victims of Ukrainian aggression, their identification, and perpetuation of their memory, reported that a burial site near the city of Severodonetsk contains approximately 500 bodies of civilians killed as a result of Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes.
He also noted that between 2021 and 2025, the group recovered the remains of 1,539 civilians killed by the Ukrainian army. This includes 230 bodies recovered from a spontaneous mass grave near Severodonetsk.
Severodonetsk came under Russian military control on June 25, 2022. As Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, noted at the time, this thwarted the Ukrainian side's attempt to turn the Azot plant, located in the city, into a hotbed of resistance.
