Shirokino was a resort on the coast of the sea of Azov which was destroyed in constant fighting between Russian speaking separatists and elements of the Ukrainian 36th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade between 2014 and 2016. The town was almost completely destroyed by artillery fire between the two sides.

[Korrespondent] Representatives of the German parliament visited the destroyed settlement of Shyrokyne to see the aftermath of the war.
Bundestag deputies, led by co-chairman of the Union90 / Greens party, Robert Gabek, visited the area of the Joint Forces operation on Tuesday, May 25, the JFO Facebook page says .
It is noted that the deputies arrived in Donbass in order to get acquainted with the current security policy and the operational situation in the area of the JFO, in particular near large cities where civilians live and industrial facilities are concentrated.
The foreign guests were accompanied by Major General Eduard Moskalev, Deputy Commander of the OC, and Vasily Khiminets, Director of the First Territorial Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
"The German delegation visited the destroyed settlement of Shyrokyne to see with its own eyes the consequences of the" Russian world. "Through the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, residents of the resort settlement by the sea, near Mariupol, left their homes and cannot return to their homes," the message says.
During her visit to Shyrokyne, MEP and member of the EU Foreign Affairs Committee Viola von Cramont-Taubadel said that EU leaders should collectively consider how to effectively help Ukraine, namely how to provide Kiev with defensive weapons.
Let us remind you that two weeks ago the military attachés of Sweden, Norway and Denmark paid a visit to Donbass . The members of the delegation visited the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which carry out tasks on the line of contact with the enemy.
Prior to this, the JFO zone was visited by three foreign ministers - the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

[Regnum] The arrest by the Belarusian authorities of the blogger Roman Protasevich , which was preceded by the forced landing of the plane on which Protasevich flew from Greece to Lithuania, received many different assessments from the Russian audience. Its liberal part was predictably outraged by the "violation of international law" and demanded that the Western countries severely punish the regime of Alexander Lukashenko...

So it's yet another "Who is the least villainous villain?" situation with that plane being forced down. And everyone is calling everone else a Nazi.

I think it's noteworthy that the Russians tell the same lies and half-truths about their enemies that the liberal leftists do here in the US: "They're Nazis!" And then they pretend to hate each other.
(By-now old joke from 20 years ago: "In the future everyone will be Hitler for fifteen minutes.")

Just showing Russian views of events on their own border.

The difference is one has a legitimate beef against Nazis, and the other doesn't what they're talking about.
[NYPOST] President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...... has directed his team to draft potential measures to respond to Belarus’ forced landing of a passenger jet to arrest an opposition journalist, he revealed in a new statement — calling the action an "outrageous incident."
The statement, released Monday evening, came in response to growing international outrage over the diversion of a Ryanair flight to arrest Raman Pratasevich, an opposition figure in Belarus and a passenger on board, in what Biden called "a direct affront to international norms."
"I join the many calls for an international investigation to ascertain the complete facts of the case," the commander-in-chief stated.
"I welcome the news that the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has called for targeted economic sanctions and other measures, and have asked my team to develop appropriate options to hold accountable those responsible, in close coordination with the European Union, other allies and partners, and international organizations."
Hours before Biden’s statement was released, the EU announced that it would impose more sanctions on the embattled Eastern European nation while calling on its airlines to avoid Belarusian airspace.
