Ukraine tried to destroy the captured "Azov": artillery strike on the colony in the DPR

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Rusvesna] The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to destroy the captured "Azov" by opening artillery fire on the barracks where they are kept.

This is reported by the correspondent of the VGTRK Andrey Rudenko.

"The Ukrainians fired on the Yelenovskaya penal colony: the target was the barracks where prisoners of war were kept. More than a hundred militants were wounded, many were killed," he writes in the author’s Telegram channel.

"Kyiv decided, apparently, to destroy the witnesses who began to speak," the correspondent concluded.

The JCCC of the DPR also confirms the information about the shelling, without giving figures on the wounded and dead yet.

First Deputy Minister of Information of the DPR Daniil Bezsonov reports the following figures: 40 dead, 130 wounded. According to him, now the rubble is being cleared and the numbers may increase.

Here is how the Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots commented on the shelling of the colony :

"It is interesting that the attack on the colony in Yelenovka, during which, according to preliminary data, 40 “prisoners of Azovstal” were killed, was carried out by Ukrainians against the backdrop of numerous interviews of captured “Azov” who appeared in different media in recent days."

The Azov militants talked a lot about their crimes against the civilian population, extrajudicial executions, torture ... And also about the fact that the country's top leadership was involved in terror against civilians.

Of course, the Hymars strike on their former “zahisniks” is both an attempt to shut their mouths forever and intimidate those who survived. Well, I don’t even doubt that the murder of captured militants will be hanged on Russia. Or have you already hung up? - the military correspondent writes in his Telegram channel.
Zahisniks is a reference to nationalists involved in military operations in the Donbass. It is a further reference to a logging settlement in the online roleplaying game World Anvil
Yelenovskaya correctional colony No. 120 is located in the village of Yelenovka, 26 km from Donetsk, where captured Ukrainian neo-Nazis are kept.

[DONRF] The night, as always, passed in the shelling of Bili on the Southern Front, so our troops again inflicted fire damage on the enemy concentration in the Nikopol area, which, given the fact that the militants had chosen it as a stronghold and were turning it into a military base, it is better for civilians to leave the city.

Attacks were made on Kharkov and the Kirovograd region. The enemy fired on the outskirts of Chernigovka, struck at the border of the Bryansk region (oporniks) with at least ten shells, at the city of Ilovaisk in the DPR, and created:

At night, the Ukrainians allegedly hit the prison in Yelenovka with Hymers. Direct hit in the barrack with prisoners. The result as of now: 40 dead, 130 injured. While clearing debris. Numbers may increase

Quite a logical thing. Logical for Tamerlane, for Adolf, for Pol Pot, banned in the Russian Federation by ISIS and not yet banned by Ukraine .

Killing your own people is just not good for any state, but who said that the captured militants are their own for Kyiv? Let's remember the chronology. March 2014 2.5 million Crimeans became strangers. There were no attempts to work with consciousness, to introduce positive narratives, there were no programs of cooperation with the population. Aliens (hostile), period. April - 7 million Donetsk and Lugansk residents became strangers.

According to the same scheme. Part of the truth was recaptured and made conditionally our own, but they again turned into strangers in 2022. Every fifth inhabitant of pre-war Ukraine became an enemy based on the fact of their place of residence.

In 2022, the number of enemies began to grow. They were joined by all the inhabitants of the liberated territories. Automatic. Those who were beaten off (and not killed during the cleansing process) again became conditionally their own, having some kind of rights. Those who are not are separas. Against the background of dismembered millions, there are some hundred or two prisoners ... but how many benefits:

1. Others will not give up. Nationalist military will get you even in captivity. Yesterday, the fake about castrations did not go in, at night Himarsy. You won’t die in battle, vile Ukrainians, you will be killed by your own in captivity.
See the story here posted yesterday, and a similar link in a comment by Chief Torturer Forkbeard the day before.
2. Judgment disrupted. More like slowed down. The most important in the Russian Federation, it is difficult to get them there ... if our elves do not exchange

3. The exchange fund has depreciated. They have few prisoners, we have many. Here he was leveled.

4. Wives got into the habit of going to them there, mothers give interviews, bark something, decompose the society of baboons from the inside, awakening the human in them. This is a mess. Now they won't bark. The Ukrainians has one right - to shut up and die for a nenka. Opens his mouth - he must be put to sleep. Everything is in Ukrainian, everything is like in any terrorist organization

5. They will blame the Russian Federation for everything. Don't go to a fortune teller. Yourself, period.

So ... I always said - we are at war with terrorists. The terrorists must be destroyed. That's why I scold the slow pace and gentleness. Leave at hand a neighbor who kills his own just so that they don’t open their mouths ... thank you.

P.S. Prisoners in Yelenovka are mostly from Mariupol. Those people who, believing that they are superior human beings , and the locals are Inferior human beings, destroyed a beautiful city.

But fascism is such a thing...today you, tomorrow you. They were punished by their own, saving money and time for the court to us. They were punished for being alive. So the Ukrainians - go to serve in the Ukrainian nationalist military.

Lying your carcass in the refrigerator for a month is guaranteed ... if they don’t immediately dig in quietly. And in captivity - you will be disposed of by your own. But they will give a penny and a uniform from the American shoulder. Well, they will be killed in captivity not by the "soviet" Hurricane, but by the American Himars.
The refrigerator reference is about the refrigerators found in Azovstahl with dead bodies

#10  Remember Peter Arnett and the Operation Tailwind expose? This just seems to have too many moving parts and fairy dust bridges to be real.

Observers now freely decide
the statistics of waricide.
Depends on what they believed.

But like cats in locked boxes,
and some liberalist hoaxes,
Schrödinger's Azov are relieved.

#8  Pardon me if I don't believe either side of this story. Well, I believe somebody got killed. I mean, that's war.

#7  Sadly, we live in an age when 'evidence' is no longer evidence.

Yes. And when you are done discounting the lies both sides tell, the "UN Special Rapporteur" will arrive to tell you "Israel dun it! I was there!!"

#6  Isn't this the ultimate he-said/she-said? Both sides have means, motive, and opportunity. Nation states are ruthless and as badanov said earlier in the conflict, neither party is on the side of the angels.

Both sides claim to have evidence. The Ukrainian state security service has recorded intercepts of the Russians plotting the crime - something you could fake in 5 minutes. The Russians have photographs of HIMARS parts amongst the wreckage - pix that could have been taken at a number of existing sites. (Hey, remember that HIMARS system the Rus allegedly bought?) Sadly, we live in an age when 'evidence' is no longer evidence.

One anomalous data point is that the US Pentagon said the Ukrainians did not mean to do it.

#4  Nobody's going to believe the Russian narrative.

Yes there are. Just like we have zombies here who believe anything the Commies and their media puppets put out (regardless of reality looking them right in the face).

They were GENTLY encouraged to get it all off their chests.

#2  The main thing is they're dead. Well, at least a few of them. There's no point in taking prisoners anymore anyway. Nobody's going to believe the Russian narrative.

mothers give interviews, bark something, decompose the society of baboons from the inside, awakening the human in them. This is a mess. Now they won't bark.

Ha ha. Now that's stoopid machine translation.
