“The work of the armed forces to liberate Mariupol has been a success. Congratulations.”

“1,464 Ukrainian servicemen laid down their arms and surrendered. They are not subjected to violence or psychological pressure.”

“We have seen attempts at sabotage and attacks by the Ukrainian military against facilities in Russian territory. If such attempts continue, the Russian Federation’s Armed Forces will strike at the decision-making centers, including Kyiv – something we have so far refrained from.”

"I underline, it's a rocket Tochka-U, we don't have such a weaponry in our republics, Donetsk and Luhansk, and in the Russian Federation in the army, they don't have it either."

“Ukraine has been committing the crime of genocide against the Russian population for eight years.”

“[T]he photos and video footage from Bucha are yet another staged event by the Kiev regime for the Western media, as it was in Mariupol with the maternity hospital, as well as in other cities.”

“The anti-Russian #fakenews factory is not slowing down. ... The newest low is passing off harmless military flares as phosphorus bombs.”

“Exactly one month since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, it is going according to plan, and all the stated goals will be achieved. Life is returning to normal in the territories already liberated from nationalists.”

“The so-called collective West does not need a strong and sovereign Russia, and will not forgive us our independent policy and standing up for our national interests. It is trying to divide our society. It’s aim is to destroy Russia.”

“During the liberation of Marinka, three instructors allegedly from the United States were killed, the people’s militia of the DNR reported.”

“Our people were used by the West in their attempt to break up Russia.”

"With a high degree of probability, we can say that one of the tasks of the United States and its allies is the creation of bioagents that can selectively affect various ethnic groups of the population."
