Smissive presence

Exhibits of the exhibitions that opened in Kyiv confirm Russia's participation in the conflict in the east of Ukraine

On Saturday, February 21, on Mikhailovskaya Square in the center of the Ukrainian capital on the initiative of the head of state Petro Poroshenko, an exhibition called "Presence" was opened. The exhibits were provided to her by the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior, the Security Service, the National Guard, the State Border Service and the State Emergency Service.

The exhibition clearly demonstrates the large -scale support of the militants and the direct participation of the Russian army in the conflict in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The organizers tried to show the whole picture of the hybrid war - from the information component to the performers and directly weapons and consequences.

"The trophy exhibits collected here confirm that we are dealing not only with a cruel, but also with a very insidious and false aggressor who tells at all levels, using powerful propaganda means, that they do not fight against Ukraine. But here you see a weapon and armored vehicles, which is captured by our military in the Donbass," said the secretary of the National Security Council and Defense of Ukraine and the defense of the defense of Ukraine Alexander Turchinov.

Passengers of a regular bus near Volnovakha, residents of Mariupol and Kramatorsk were killed from Russian artillery complexes. At the same time, Russian invaders, when shelling of the settlements of Donbass, use cassette ammunition prohibited by the Geneva Convention. Several missiles of the Smerch complex from Kramatorsk were brought to Mikhailovskaya Square, which were stuck in the asphalt, without exploding. The artillery blow to the residential quarters of the central part of Kramatorsk was delivered on February 10, on the eve of the Minsk negotiations on the Donbass. At least 16 people became the victims of the Russian “tornado”. Near the fragments of the modern Russian volley system are the cars of Mariupol, who are burned out as a result of the “grades” of the “grades”. As the Ukrainian authorities emphasize, all this is evidence of the terrible crimes of Russian leaders, in particular, Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will be responsible for this in the Hague Tribunal.

According to the commander of the Svityaz battalion, Alexander Fatevich, there are documentary evidence that the T-72 tank and the BMD-2 tank showed at the exhibition, and the units of the Smerch volley fire system were brought to the Donbass from specific Russian military units and they were not controlled by the separatists, but by the military personnel of the regular Russian army. In particular, BMD-2 was captured in August 2014 near Lugansk, drill No. 234, according to the documents found, belongs to military unit 74268 (76th landing and screening division of the RF Armed Forces, Pskov).

The exhibition also demonstrates grenadies captured by the Ukrainian military during the operation in Debaltsevo, dated 2014, which are not produced in Ukraine. Another evidence of Russian aggression is the drones made only in the Russian Federation (one of the presented UAVs "Grenat-H" fell into the hands of the Ukrainian military in November 2014 in the area of the city of the happiness of the Luhansk region).

The exhibition will work on Mikhailovskaya Square Kyiv until February 28. After that, part of its exhibits will be transferred to the Museum of the Great Patriotic War, and another part - material evidence in open criminal cases - will be returned to the investigation.
