Russia is not only destroying Ukrainian infrastructure, but also stealing cultural values. Artifacts stolen from Ukrainian museums and archaeological sites have already begun to appear on the international black market.

This was stated by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin in an interview with the Voice of America.

Russian Federation Crimes against Ukrainian Cultural Heritage

The Prosecutor General's Office has a special unit that investigates cases of destruction of cultural heritage due to shelling and identifies the names of people involved in the looting of Ukrainian museums.

At the same time, an important aspect of the work of this unit is cooperation with international organizations regarding cases of illegal sale of Ukrainian artifacts for abroad.

— We already have enough evidence to open new criminal proceedings for these crimes, — Kostin said.

Cultural Losses

According to UNESCO, due to Russian aggression, Ukrainian culture suffered losses of $3.5 billion in the first half of 2024 alone, but in reality this amount may be even greater.

One of the biggest losses was the looted Mariupol Museum of Local History and the Art Museum. The occupiers took away more than 2,000 exhibits from these institutions, including original paintings by Arkhip Kuindzhi and Ivan Aivazovsky, unique icons and sculptures.

A similar fate befell the museums of the Kherson region. In 2022, the Russians took away more than 20,000 exhibits from the local history and art museums. A significant part of the painting collection was destroyed, and rare archaeological finds, weapons and coins were stolen.

The Russian command is trying to hide the real number of losses of the occupiers in the Dnieper direction. The enemy is sending inexperienced soldiers there.

In July, the Defense Forces withdrew from the village of Krynki on the left bank of the Dnieper. Our military held this bridgehead for almost a year. It turned out that the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the left bank did not affect the number of enemy losses. They still remain significant.

“They are dying on the approaches”

According to agents of the resistance movement “Atesh”, the Russian group of troops “Dnepr” has begun sending untrained mobilized and conscripts to the Dnieper Islands.

These soldiers, who have neither the skills nor the necessary training, are becoming easy targets. Many are dying on the approaches, they are drowning in the Dnieper or under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, – the “Atesh” report says.

The Russian command is hiding the real losses, sending new groups of mobilized soldiers to certain death. The bodies of the dead are not being removed, and the data on the dead is being carefully hushed up. All of this is an attempt to maintain the appearance of control that does not exist.

By the way, the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte named Russia's losses for almost three years of full-scale aggression against Ukraine.

The Israeli military said it had surrounded Jabaliya in the northern Gaza Strip and launched a new ground operation after seeing signs of a Hamas regroupment.

The Times of Israel and CNN report this.

The military said the strikes hit dozens of Hamas targets in Jabaliya, including weapons depots, tunnels, militant cells and other infrastructure.

The IDF said the airstrikes and tank shelling killed dozens of terrorists.

The military wing of the Islamist movement Hamas said it was engaged in “intensive fighting” with Israeli forces in northern Gaza.

CNN reports that after the Israeli military warned of a new ground operation in Jabalia, where the largest refugee camp in Gaza is located, dozens of families in the area packed up their belongings and once again fled their homes.

The Israeli military also issued a new evacuation order for residents in the northern Gaza Strip, adding that they had expanded the borders of the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi.

The new operation was the IDF's fourth offensive on Jabaliya since the war began a year ago. The latest round of fighting in May was described by the IDF and some Israeli officers as “intense” and “the most brutal” of the war.

The operation began days after the military launched an operation in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah. The IDF said it had killed more than 250 Hezbollah members, including several commanders, in the four-day operation in southern Lebanon.

How Mossad Organized a Pager Operation and Infiltrated Hezbollah: Details Revealed in the Media Angelika Baybak

How Israel Infiltrated Hezbollah/Collage by Channel 24

On September 17, thousands of pagers belonging to Hezbollah terrorist group exploded simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria. The Israeli intelligence services had been preparing for this operation for years.

The Washington Post journalists analyzed the details and established how the Israeli intelligence service Mossad prepared for the operation. The journalists noted that all the information was obtained during interviews with Israeli, Arab and American security officials, politicians and diplomats, as well as Lebanese officials and people close to Hezbollah.

An operation that has been going on since 2015

Two years ago, in 2022, Hezbollah received an offer to purchase Apollo pagers, more specifically the AR924 model. Although the pager seemed bulky, it was ideal for the terrorist group's fighters. It was waterproof and had a large battery that could work for months without recharging. Moreover, what attracted Hezbollah most was that the manufacturer claimed that the pagers were untraceable, even by Israeli intelligence services.

The terrorist group's leaders were so impressed that they bought 5,000 Apollo pagers. In February, they were distributed to mid-level fighters and support staff. No one suspected that the pagers contained an ingenious Israeli bomb inside, as well as a two-stage decryption procedure that ensured that most users would be holding the pager with both hands when it exploded.

As the publication's sources said, the idea for the pager operation arose in 2022. Parts of the plan began to be implemented more than a year before the Hamas attack, which took place on October 7, 2023. Israel's Mossad intelligence service has been working for years to infiltrate Hezbollah, and the terrorists were so afraid of surveillance that they refused to even use cell phones.

Then the idea of ​​creating a “communications Trojan horse” arose. Hezbollah was actively looking for secure devices for exchanging messages, and Israeli intelligence services came up with several tricks that literally forced the militants to purchase explosive devices designed and manufactured in Israel.

The first part of the plan is booby-trapped radios. It began to be implemented in Lebanon back in 2015. Thus, the Mossad developed two-way radios that contained huge batteries, hidden explosives and a transmission system that gave Israel complete access to Hezbollah communications. For 9 years, Israeli intelligence services have been eavesdropping on Hezbollah militants, reserving the ability to blow them up at any time.

How pagers with explosives got into Hezbollah

In 2022, a new opportunity arose for Israel: a pager with a powerful explosive. Since Hezbollah was afraid of sabotage, the devices had to be from someone other than Israel, the United States, or any of those countries' allies. So in 2023, the militants received an offer from the Taiwanese manufacturer Apollo. It is a well-known brand worldwide that has no discernible ties to Israel. At the same time, the Taiwanese company itself was unaware of the Mossad plan.

The offer to sell came from a trusted marketing person who is associated with Apollo and trusted by Hezbollah. The woman, whose identity and nationality are not disclosed, was a former sales representative in the Middle East for a Taiwanese firm that had formed her own company and acquired a license to sell a line of pagers under the Apollo brand. It was she who, in 2023, offered Hezbollah militants a deal for one of the products her company sold – the robust and reliable AR924.

She maintained contact with Hezbollah and explained to the militants why the pager with the larger battery was better than the original model. One of the main advantages of the AR924 was that it could be charged with a cable. And the batteries lasted longer, said an Israeli official familiar with the operation.

As it turned out, the actual production of the devices was outsourced, and the marketing representative was unaware of the operationand that the pagers were physically assembled in Israel under Mossad surveillance. The engineers did the unthinkable, because the bomb component was so carefully hidden that it was virtually undetectable even if the device was disassembled. Israeli officials believe that Hezbollah disassembled some of the pagers and may even have X-rayed them. In addition, the connection to Israeli services was also undetectable.

“Explosive Message” from Israel

Mossad thought of everything down to the smallest detail. Thus, the pagers were programmed in such a way that only one electronic signal would simultaneously activate the explosives on 5,000 pagers.

To ensure maximum harm to the Hezbollah terrorists, the explosion was caused by a special two-step procedure that is needed to view protected messages. Thus, in order to read the message, it was necessary to press two buttons, and therefore use both hands.

Interestingly, even most senior Israeli officials did not know the details of this operation. Only on September 12, five days before the operation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gathered his advisers and told them about the booby-trapped pagers. The United States was also unaware of the operation.

When the Israeli government learned of the Mossad operation, heated debate ensued. Many officials claimed that Hezbollah and Lebanon could prepare a violent response. However, Netanyahu approved the operation, and on September 17, thousands of Apollo-branded pagers throughout Lebanon and Syria began ringing or vibrating simultaneously.

A short sentence in Arabic appeared on the screen: “You have received an encrypted message.” The Hezbollah militants obediently followed the instructions, and so they took the pagers with both hands, and at that moment, thousands of devices exploded. The explosives also detonated on those devices that did not read the encrypted message, because the encrypted algorithm remotely detonated all the Apollo pagers.

Creating a special tribunal on the basis of a bilateral agreement between Ukraine and the Council of Europe is the most promising format.

This was stated by the Ambassador at Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Anton Korinevich< /strong> in The Hague.

The CDU leader also named two necessary conditions for cooperation and the development of proposals.

• First, proposals for a peace plan should not be put forward by Germany alone, “but only in close coordination with these European partners.”
• Second, the countries of Eastern and Central Europe, and especially in Ukraine, “must never have the impression that the political map of Europe is being redrawn behind their backs.”
