In Russia, they want to write off the death of conscripts on “Moscow” as a “catastrophe”/Photo by Odesskaya OVA are not ready to admit their losses in the war against Ukraine. They are willing to lie about “accidents” to cover up the failures of their operations.

The loss of the flagship cruiser Moskva hit the Russian invaders very painfully. After a skillful strike by our heroes, they keep their ships away from the Ukrainian shores, and they want to write off the sunken ship as a fictitious “catastrophe”.

Hiding the cause of losses

< p>Since the beginning of the war, the leadership of the Russian army has lied to its citizens that it does not involve conscripts in the war against Ukraine. When their lies, due to insane losses, became obvious even to narrow-minded Russians, the Russian Ministry of Defense began to do everything to silence the truth.

The loss of the flagship cruiser Moskva not only became a loud slap in the face for the invaders from our heroes. The ship could lose up to half of the crew, among whom were conscripts. The Russians decided to call the dead “missing”, although how one can disappear from a ship at sea is a mystery.

Relatives and friends of the dead conscripts began to be persuaded to recognize the dead conscripts as “died as a result of the crash.” Two mothers of “missing” soldiers reported such conversations.

When they failed to find their sons in hospitals, they received reports from the military registration and enlistment offices about “missing as a result of the crash.” Attached to the messages are statements on behalf of the mothers that they agree with this statement and have no complaints.

They also said that the Russians registered some conscripts as participants in a “special operation” and accrue certain payments to their relatives.

Losses of Russian occupiers: latest news

• Our courageous defenders and defenders master more and more ways to eliminate Russian occupiers on Ukrainian soil. Heroes of the MTR showed how they destroy enemies with the help of a kamikaze drone – a drone equipped with explosives “passed” a Russian tank.
• A company commander of the Kadyrov regiment Asvad Idrisov joined the “good Russians” at a Kobzon concert. The Kremlin should find a new “horror story” for the Ukrainians, because the vaunted Kadyrovites will soon be gone.

Russia's biggest defeat: Putin's military failure will go down in history/Photo by the press service of the Azov Regiment

The assault on Mariupol and Azovstal became Putin's military-political defeat: the invaders were stuck in the city for three months, which slowed down their offensive in the Donetsk and Lugansk directions. Read more in the exclusive blog for Channel 24 website.

Despite the fact that the Russians eventually managed to establish control over Mariupol, the assault operation will forever remain in the history of the Russian Federation as the biggest military failure. The heroism of the Ukrainian defenders is unprecedented, given the balance of power between the parties.

The heroism of the Ukrainian soldiers and the failure of Russia

Even if we believe the Russian information that there were 2.5 thousand Ukrainian fighters at Azovstal, imagine the level of confrontation with the Russian occupation machine.

According to US intelligence, Azovstal's own defenders chained up from 17,000 to 20,000 Russian militants who were directly involved in operations in Mariupol. That is, the ratio of forces was at least 1 to 8.

We are talking about the fact that up to 17 battalion-tactical groups of the Russian Federation were actually blocked on the territory of the city, which for three months could not break the heroic resistance of Ukrainian fighters. This is a military and political defeat for Russia, and Moscow is well aware of this.

How Ukraine won time

The heroism of the defenders of Azovstal, including representatives of the Azov regiment, the 36th brigade, the border service, the National Guard, the National Police, etc. It was their courageous and well-coordinated actions that prevented the Russians from transferring their units to the Donetsk and Luhansk directions, which allowed Ukraine to gain time.

This allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to build an echeloned defense line in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. And it is no coincidence that Russian troops have been unable to reach the administrative borders of these regions for the third month.

In addition, the defense of Mariupol gave Ukraine an opportunity to gain time to re-equip its troops with the latest models of foreign equipment, transfer the economy to a military footing, and receive international assistance. And most importantly, it allowed for a mass evacuation of the civilian population from the territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, and this is up to 2 million people. Thanks to the courage of our military, these people got a chance to be saved.

I also pay attention to the rhetoric of the Kremlin officials.

There are already statements that the Russian army is fighting one of the most professional armies of Europe. These statements cannot but rejoice. If earlier in Moscow they assured that in three days they would take Kyiv and control a significant part of Ukraine, then after three months of the heroic defense of Mariupol, they are forced to state the high combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the professional training of our soldiers.

Recall, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba called on Western partners to speed up the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

In Lviv region, you can simultaneously issue an ID-card and a foreign passport/Migration Service of Lviv region

In Ukraine, on May 23, a service for the simultaneous issuance of a passport and an ID card was launched. Already on May 24, such an order was completed in the Lviv region.

9 people managed to use the new service in the Lviv city administration. Another woman tested the innovation in the Drohobych department.

Ukrainians are happy and say that now they can save time. Previously, after all, it was necessary to first obtain an ID-card, and then it was already possible to issue a passport. The whole process took much longer. Now it can be done at the same time.

Grounds for issuing two documents at the same time

• Issuing an ID card for the first time in 14 years;
• issuing or exchanging for a face
• registration or exchange for a person who cannot move independently due to a long-term health disorder and requires urgent treatment abroad. This information must be confirmed by a legally issued medical certificate;
• production of documents due to their loss or change in personal data.

How much does such a service cost

It takes 1,105 hryvnia to produce an ID card and a passport in 20 working days, and 1,583 hryvnia in 7 days.

By the way, if you draw up documents for the first time at the age of 14, then you only need to pay for a passport.

The Lviv Migration Service noted that such a service became possible after the entry into force of the law “On the implementation of a pilot project for the simultaneous issuance of a passport of a citizen of Ukraine and a passport of a citizen of Ukraine for traveling abroad.”

Pay attention! For the period of martial law, there may be delays in issuing passport documents.

Note that at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the State Migration Service stopped its work. It was resumed on March 15th. You can make new documents and paste photos into old ones in those territories of Ukraine where there are no active hostilities.

Molchanov spoke about a possible humanitarian catastrophe in the Kherson region/Collage of Channel 24

The narrow-minded occupying power of Kherson continues to play “great economists”, issuing some “incredible” orders. Such actions may soon lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in the occupied territories.

This was reported to Channel 24 by Kherson activist Vladimir Molchanov. He said that the absolutely illogical decrees of the fake authorities of Kherson will inevitably lead to a lack of food and essentials in the territory of the temporarily occupied region.

Frauds will end in a humanitarian catastrophe

According to him, the occupying authorities of the Kherson region announced the introduction of the so-called dual currency zone. We are talking about “washing out” the hryvnia, in particular due to its exchange for rubles at an unrealistic rate (1 hryvnia = 2 rubles).

Kherson residents want to drown in poverty. Such machinations will result in a humanitarian catastrophe if Ukraine does not liberate these territories as soon as possible. That is, they are talking about weeks,” the activist said.

Everything is closed

As Molchanov noted, most of the money Kherson residents now receive comes from Ukraine. That is, these are pensions and salaries of state employees, which, of course, are sent in hryvnia.

A situation arises that these hryvnias cannot be normally converted into goods. Such “innovations” of the occupying authorities will lead to the fact that even the remaining businesses are closed. – said the activist.

He suggested that, perhaps, people will be able to continue trading by transferring money from card to card, when Ukrainian cash has already completely disappeared, due to the fictitious exchange rate of the occupiers.

The situation will get worse

Molchanov stressed that even now in the territories of occupied Kherson there are situations of real famine in the villages. According to him, due to the lack of food, some people are forced to take the Russian so-called “humanitarian aid” or exchange their personal data for one-time assistance from the occupiers in the amount of 10 thousand rubles.

In addition, Molchanov added that the situation will only worsen, since many residents of the region simply will not have a livelihood. In addition, Russian infidels forbid Kherson residents to evacuate to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.

The situation in the Kherson region: the latest

• The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Kirill Budanov, said that the invaders had already tried to hold pseudo-referendums in the Kherson region 3 times, but they all failed. Now the Russian invaders are looking for new options on how to annex the region to Russia.
• The Kherson District Office reported that the situation in the region remains stably critical. They noted that infidels continue to destroy everything Ukrainian, prevent the import of provisions and medicines, and also cross bridges and roads so that people cannot escape to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities.
• This morning, May 24, information appeared that explosions were heard in Kherson. In addition, locals reported that mobile communications from Kyivstar and Vodafone disappeared in the city.

Patrushev's role in Putin's plan/Getty Images

Council Secretary Russia's Security Council Nikolai Patrushev claims that the Kremlin regime is “not chasing any deadlines” for Russian troops in Ukraine.

He also assured that all the goals set by the President of Russia would be met. So he tries to “wipe bruises and bruises after a visit to Putin's bunker.” Russian oppositionist Gennady Gudkov told Channel 24 about this.

Putin's tactical plan

According to him, such rhetoric is heard because the Russian army, by and large, nothing can be achieved.

Of course, it is hard for Ukraine, but the Russian army retains an advantage in equipment and strength, and the infrastructure of Ukraine is being destroyed. But Putin's tactical plan is now quite clear. And Patrushev plays one of the decisive roles in this respect,” Gudkov said.

It consists, as the oppositionist explained, in order to try to seize at least something. This will allow Putin to “bargain” and then try to hold on to these territories. Hence to announce that “they all won”.

Now the Russian army will try to concentrate their efforts and try to do everything possible to occupy the territories of Ukraine in the South and South-East as much as possible.

That is their plan. They understand that they will not reach Odessa, they will not reach Moldova, Transnistria, they are not able to capture Kyiv and they will not cope with Kharkov. They all understand this, especially that the end of the war is not for Russia,” Gudkov added.

The Office of the Prosecutor General declared suspicion to Patrushev

• According to the investigation, at an extraordinary meeting on February 21, 2022, Nikolai Patrushev publicly called for the need for Russia to recognize the independence of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR”.
• Note that the Prosecutor General's office does not mention the name of the Russian high-ranking official. However, since 2008, the post of Secretary of the Security Council of Russia has been permanently occupied by Nikolai Patrushev.
• He is also called the “grey eminence”. Patrushev is included in a narrow circle of Putin's trusted people.

The Prime Minister of the Netherlands believes that Ukraine is unlikely to receive the status of an EU candidate./Collage Channel 24 candidate status. However, it is unlikely that this will happen in the near future.

This statement was made by Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte at a meeting of Parliament on Monday, May 23. He believes that accelerating the process of our inclusion in the European Union is unfair.

Statement by the Prime Minister of the Netherlands

The Prime Minister of the Netherlands believes that before the Russian invasion, Ukraine was “very far from being a candidate for EU membership.” Many countries of the union, he said, do not like this idea. In addition, according to Rutte, the accelerated procedure for the inclusion of Ukraine will demonstrate injustice towards the countries of the Western Balkans, which have been waiting much longer to receive the status of an EU candidate.

One option for Ukraine is to “become a potential candidate for admission.” After that, our state will be informed how many steps it still has to take in order to acquire a full-fledged status.

So it was with Bosnia. It will also help ensure that the Ukrainian government is not demotivated,” Rutte said in a statement.

At the same time, several parties in the lower house of the Dutch parliament called for Ukraine to be made a candidate for membership as soon as possible. These include D66, PvdA and GroenLinks– a coalition party and two opposition parties with which the government often tries to cooperate in voting.

The VVD party, led by Rutte, still does not want to grant this status to Ukraine.

The reaction of the press Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Oleg Nikolenko

The Ukrainian side quickly reacted to the politician's statement. In particular, Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko believes that it is unfair to tie granting Ukraine the status of a candidate member of the EU to the consideration of the application of the Western Balkans. In addition, according to him, granting candidate status for Ukraine and the countries of the Western Balkans does not contradict each other.

He stressed that Ukraine defends European values, peace and security of Europe at the cost of the lives of its citizens, so it is time for the European Union demonstrate a clear position not only in words, but also in deeds.

Ukraine's accession to the EU: the main thing

• French Secretary of State for European Affairs Clement Bon believes that the process of Ukraine's accession to the EU will not be quick. According to his forecasts, Ukraine will become a full member of the EU in 15-20 years.
• At the same time, the French president is promoting the idea of ​​a new European community. He seeks to create a “European political community” that will complement the EU, but will not be its alternative. It is in this project that Macron offers a place to Ukraine.
• Dmitry Kuleba reacted to the statement of the French leader. He stressed that Ukraine does not need surrogates for the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union, insulting the Ukrainian people.

Early in early summer, the European Commission should give its answer on Ukraine's accession to the EU. It is expected that we will receive the status of a candidate for entry, but there is no talk of full membership yet. In particular, Europe fears that the war on the territory of Ukraine may drag on, and the EU will have to bear responsibility for the economic situation in the post-war state.

The Russian military is unhappy that they have to risk their lives for a penny/Mind< p _ngcontent-sc87="" class="news-annotation">Russian occupiers complain en masse that the level of salaries in the army is completely incomparable to the risks in war. Experienced invaders who were in Syria and Chechnya express the most dissatisfaction.

According to Channel 24 sources in the Ukrainian special services, all the invaders unanimously say that the war against Ukraine is the worst in their lives. Neither the Chechen campaigns, nor the fighting in Syria and Afghanistan can be compared with a full-scale invasion in terms of the consequences for the troops of the attack.

In addition to the close work of the Ukrainian artillery, Russians are also completely demotivated by the attitude of officers towards personnel. The high command throws soldiers into battle without cover and without thinking about the lack of combat capability of the unit.

The offensive has run out of steam

• The Russian invaders involved in Putin's attempts to seize the Donetsk and Luhansk regions see that they do not have the strength to effectively attack in most areas.
• Despite this, the generals continue to make false promises that “the rotation is now -it will be”, and also talks about the imminent end of the war.
• In addition, the military is incredibly annoyed by the Kremlin's reports about their successes, which are not even close.
• The military also complains that officers and senior middle managers do not take into account losses at all. Broken battalion tactical groups of 50-150 people are ordered to go into battle and storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where hundreds of their comrades-in-arms have just fallen.
• In some areas, the Russians have to run across the field and literally land on the corpses of their own troops. At the same time, in some places, the remains lie in the sun for weeks.
• Constant nervous tension, participation in battles that do not actually end, as well as the smell and sight of the dead drive even very experienced soldiers crazy.

Salaries have been halved< /h2>

The occupiers are thinking about the meaning of this war not only because they may not return home – they have come to terms with this thought. Most of the invaders are contract soldiers and joined the army solely because of the opportunity to earn a lot of money. However, with the attack on Ukraine, the ruble was devalued, and all prices in Russia at least doubled. Therefore, the soldiers have become poorer even despite the fact that they are paid the so-called “combat”.

On average, according to contract soldiers, the Russian military receives about 117 thousand rubles, but this amount is simply incredibly small for participating in such a war . The lack of any motivation, coupled with very poor logistics and extremely low payment for such risks, has led to the fact that the Russians do not even condemn the deserters. In addition, some even say that they have a normal attitude towards those who committed crossbows.

Because of all these factors, the number of units that refuse to fight, despite the threat of executions and criminal prosecutions, increases every day.< /p>

Conscripts who see how experienced veterans are terribly afraid to go into battle generally pray for only one thing – returning home. They are actually not paid anything for participating in the war, while it is young conscripts who are driven into positions more than others. Because of hazing, they have to work harder than others, eat less and fulfill the wishes of their elders.
