A few more pictures of Mariupol that make your heart skip a beat...

And this is what the center of Ukrainian Chernihiv looks like after the shelling by the rashists.

"Everything is being wiped off the face of the earth. Even the old things. The city keeps the defense," Michael Kot, head of the Donetsk Region Patrol Police, showed a video from Mariupol.

"It was like a foray to take place in Trosianets. It resembles the times 45 years ago, when people cried in Victory Day, but these tears were, you know, with the grief in their eyes," Mayor of Trosianets about the liberation of the city.

According to him, a part of the city is completely destroyed including the railway station, station building, shops, entire square, and lots of other infrastructures. Now local authorities together with soldiers are checking all public buildings: "There are a lot of mined buildings and tripwires."

He adds that people have been living without food for 30 days, without its supply, as invaders didn't let to bring aid. He also says that now in the city left about 10,000 people, "Yesterday we saw people who went outside for the first time within the last two weeks; they went out and started to hug one another."

Residents of temporarily occupied Kakhovka came out to protest against the invaders.

"Free people stand up for their truth - they are children of Ukraine!" - noted the first deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevskyy.

Putin’s troops ready to flee Ukraine: Kremlin makes up new “promises” to keep them.

Another batch of telephone conversations of the occupiers intercepted by the SBU is evidence.
In particular, the invaders were initially promised a three-day victory march. Then the russists promised rotation to kee[ their soldiers. Some were said they would be taken home on March 19, others - on the 25th. However, they did not find a real opportunity to rotate, and for those who are gradually losing hope, they came up with a new date – “the end of the month”.

One of the invaders tells his wife that continuing to be at war is simply unbearable for him: “Every time I wake up with such joy that I woke up. There was no such thing in Syria. Do you understand? There were no such moments in Syria… There is some kind of panic. I can’t keep it on anymore…. Nobody gives a fuck about me here…”

And the longer the occupiers stay on our land, the harder it will be for them to wake up alive.

It is "not the right time" to hold a referendum on the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic" becoming part of the Russian Federation, said Leonid Kalashnikov, chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, propaganda media reported.

The Security Service of Ukraine exposed the coordinator of sabotage groups of the Russian Federation and a collaborator who intended to get a position in the occupying authority in Dnipro. He collected data on the city’s critical infrastructure workers, their political affiliation and their level of allegiance to the aggressor.

In Kharkiv, SBU special forces detained a man who coordinated sabotage groups and terrorist groups of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics in the region.

At Chornobaivka airdrome russian troops were hit for the 11th time, the Advisor to the President’s Office of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovych informs.

“Putin can try to impose so called “Korean” scenario in Ukraine.

“The occupiers will try to compose one quasi state creation out of the occupied territories which will be opposed to independent Ukraine. We already observe attempts to create “parallel” authorities at the occupied territories and force people to reject hryvna. Probably they would want to bargain on that at the international level as well. Still, the opposition and meetings of our citizens at the occupied territories, the counterattacks of AFU, and gradual release complicate enemy’s plans implementation very much. Besides, soon the season of total Ukrainian partisan safari will begin. At that point only one actual scenario is possible for the Russians, how to survive,” such opinion was expressed by the brigade general Kyrylo Budanov.

So now putin will try to impose a line of division between the occupied and non-occupied regions – this is an attempt to create Northern and Southern Korea in Ukraine, Budanov believes.

The Head of so called "LNR" Pasechnyk declared that they planed to hold a referendum on being a part of russian federation, russian propaganda medias inform.
