[RIA Novosti] During the Nazi occupation of Crimea during the Great Patriotic War, Hitler's doctors experimented on prisoners of war and civilian Soviet citizens - they cut out kidneys and blood vessels from people, pumped out blood for the wounded German military.
Once near the basement where the prisoners of war were kept, they found a note. "We are sitting here, doomed to death, experiments are being done on us, they are giving mysterious injections," Galkin quoted its contents.
This is evidenced by archival materials declassified by the FSB department for the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, which RIA Novosti got acquainted with.

Thanks for posting. I forwarded it to a couple of fellows who were at one time, deeply involved in US Gov't POW issues and related things involving Russia. They are now busy with other pursuits and hobbies. Understandably, I doubt they will respond.

...Curious as to whether or not the FSB report mentions how many Soviets who survived the Nazi camps were marched right into the GULAG when they got back. SPOILER: it was most of 'em.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on June 10 that the text of the naval base agreement could be changed but Moscow confirmed its interest in cooperation with Khartoum. She recalled that the agreement had been signed by an authorized representative of the Sudanese transitional Supreme Council in Khartoum on July 23, 2019, i.e. after the change of political regime in Sudan. "The document has not been ratified by Sudan, as the country has no legislative authority with such powers. It means changes can be introduced into the text upon agreement of the parties," she said.

[REGNUM] The Russian Ministry of Defense is creating a unified procedure for the actions of the Russian aviation in relation to foreign ships that have violated the Russian state border, the Izvestia newspaper reports on June 25, citing sources in the military department.
According to the publication, the new regulations are under consideration by the leadership of the Aerospace Forces and the Navy. The incident with a British destroyer in the Black Sea could speed up the adoption of new rules.
According to some reports, the set of weapons that should be used by combat aircraft against intruder ships may be revised. In particular, dropping bombs along the offender's course can be replaced by the use of unguided air-to-surface missiles.
The Russian military believes that provocations with an invasion of the territorial waters of the Russian Federation will become more frequent, but unguided rockets are enough to demonstrate serious intentions.
This takes into account the fact that in the event of a provocation, the task of destroying a foreign ship is not posed, and the impact of fire should only suppress its actions.
As reported by IA REGNUM , on June 23, the British destroyer URO HMS Defender invaded the territorial waters of Russia off the coast of Crimea. The border ship opened warning fire, but the intruder ignored it. After that, the Su-24M bombers of the Black Sea Fleet dropped OFAB-250 high-explosive fragmentation bombs along the course of the British destroyer, forcing it to withdraw into neutral waters.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has officially warned the British side that next time the strike will be made directly on the ship.
