1 Russia The Russian Federal Council commented on the statements from the US State Department that Russia could, allegedly, use chemical weapons in Ukraine. Valentina Matvienko stated that Russia destroyed all the chemical weapons back in 2017. The reports about the impending chemical attacks are fake news. Similar fake news aren’t new - similar fake chemical attacks supposedly took place in Syria. Previously, the US State Department stated that Russia could, allegedly, use chemical weapons in Ukraine. This topic was raised by the official representative of the Pentagon. John Kirby was asked what does he know about the chemical attacks in Mariupol. He admitted that the American military department doesn’t have the reliable data. The main source of such info are the social networks. 2 Russia The FSB stopped the activities of a man, suspected of promouting the ’Hizb ut-Tahrir’ terrorist group, in Crimea. A citizen of Russia, born in 1993, has radical worldview. He promoted the ideology of terrorism on the Internet. In one of the social networks, he posted some radical publications and comments. 3 Russia The border checkpoint in the village of Gordeevka, near Kursk, was under fire from small arms - the local governor, Roman Starovoit, reported on his telegram channel. According to him, the attack took place at 14:00 hours. There were no casualties or destruction. The firing points were suppressed by the return fire of the Russian border guards - he added. Aleksandr Bastrykin, the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, stated that the agency will investigate the attacks of the Ukrainian forces on the Russian border regions. 4 The LPR The Military investigators from the Russian Investigative Committee discovered a temporary location of the Ukrainian motorized infantry battalion within the LPR. Some foreign weaponry was found in the area. The investigators found official documentations and western-made ’NLAW’ missile launchers in the settlement of Trekhizbenka - they were left behind by the Ukrainian forces who left their position. 5 Russia The press secretary of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the proposal from Zelensky on the exchange of Medvedchuk - a Ukrainian politician, and the head of the political party "Opposition Platform - For Life". Viktor Medvedchuk isn’t a citizen of Russia. Thus, the Kremlin doesn’t know if Medvedchuk wants any Russian involvement in his situation. Dmitry Peskov added that there would be no Russian military special operation in Ukraine if Kiev had listened to the warnings from Medvedchuk about not escalating the conflict in Donbas. The Ukrainian Security Service recently reported on the arrest of Medvedchuk. After that, Vladimir Zelensky offered to exchange the politician for the Ukrainian PoWs. 6 Ukraine The Russian forces continue the special military operation in Ukraine. Over the past day, 2 large warehouses for rockets and artillery weapons of the Ukrainian forces, located near the settlements of Sadovoe and Chudnov, were destroyed by high-precision missiles. 4 Ukrainian helicopters - two Mi-24s and two Mi-8s - were destroyed on the Mirgorod’s military airfield.
