"According to the available reliable information, the Kyiv regime, with the support of a number of Western countries, is completing the preparation of sophisticated monstrous provocations with numerous victims in the Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Odessa, Sumy and Kharkov regions. To this end, more than 70 mobile groups have been formed from among the nationalist battalions in vans and vehicles of increased terrain, equipped with mortars (the so-called "wandering mortars") with the task of shelling Orthodox churches and churches on Easter night (from April 23 to April 24, 2022) for the subsequent accusation of Russian military personnel in the massacre of civilians on this sacred holiday for believers.
For filming about the alleged "Russian atrocities" and the immediate cynical promotion of fakes, Kyiv plans to attract a large number of reporters from Western news agencies.
The upcoming provocations by the Ukrainian authorities demonstrate their complete indifference to the fate of their own citizens.
We call on the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations to immediately influence the Kyiv regime in order to prevent this inhuman provocation that disregards all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
We warn the countries of the "civilized West" led by the United States in advance that the Russian Federation has an operational evidence base about the upcoming terrible crimes of the Kiev regime.
This urgent statement is to be immediately published and communicated to the United Nations, the OSCE, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations through all available information resources."
“Information is coming in that the day of Holy Pascha, when the largest number of believers gather in churches, can be used for military provocations. It is impossible to imagine anything more inhuman than to make Easter Sunday, which is celebrated by Orthodox peoples both in Russia and Ukraine, and in many other countries, an instrument of escalation of the conflict.Such plans can only come from forces equally hostile to both the Russian and Ukrainian people, interested in exacerbating fratricidal hatred, creating new obstacles to peace.The Church, not being able to prevent this, prays for I hope that all concerned people will unite their efforts to prevent mockery of Christians on the day of the Resurrection of Christ."
"We understand that in the face of this regime we are dealing not only with anti-Russian, but also with anti-Christian forces. Simply put, with Satanists. Nazism, paganism, occultism and Satanism have always gone hand in hand - this was the case in the Third Reich, this is happening today It is no coincidence that a pagan idol was recently discovered at the base of Nazi militants near Mariupol, and the Satanic Temple organization from the United States, according to media reports, spoke out in support of Ukraine and organized a fundraiser for such support. denazification, but also a serious spiritual "treatment". Not only a new Nuremberg, but also, figuratively speaking, baptism in the waters of the Dnieper. The idol of Bandera statehood, to which thousands of bloody sacrifices have already been made, must be destroyed, "Sergey Aksyonov, head of the Republic of Crimea, emphasized .
“The war that the West is waging against Russia is by no means for resources, not for territories, and not for people. This is a purely religious, spiritual war. front between Russia and the West, we are faced with demons. The soldiers of the enemy are demonized. They cannot be called either people or beasts. They are non-humans. And therefore we need our common cry to God. Only with His help will we win. No negotiations, and even more so, no peace with demons are impossible in principle, neither with those who send them from Washington and London, nor with those who carry out orders on the spot."

To me it sounds like Putin is losing support for his invasion so now he's returning to the same well he always does when his popularity starts slipping, the Church.
I guarantee you that if anyone is targeting churches on Easter, it's going to be the Russians.
US, EU sacrificing Ukraine to ‘weaken Russia’: fmr. NATO adviser
JACQUES BAUD: Exactly. In fact, I noticed that, as I told you, I was in NATO and was monitoring the influx of weapons in the Donbas, and what we noticed is that we couldn’t identify import of weapons or export of weapons from the Russian side to the Donbas. But what we could see is that you had a lot of Ukrainian units who defected, in fact, and complete battalions. And in 2014, most of the heavy artillery that the Donbas gained were from defectors...
And in addition to that you had in 2014, I mean in 2014 to 2017, in that period the leadership of the Ukrainian army was extremely poor. You had a lot of corruption. I’m not sure that the military was prepared for such a kind of war, in fact, because the war that was fought at that time by the rebels was very similar to what you can see in the Middle East today, or in the last years. That made very mobile units moving around very rapidly, much faster than the heavy units that the Ukrainian army had, and, as a result, if we see the pattern of the different battles that were fought in 2014, 2015, you could see that the Ukrainians could never lead. They had never the initiative. The initiative was always with the rebels. And it was not guerrilla. That’s important to say. It was kind of extremely mobile warfare. And in addition to that you had, I think, the army was not really prepared to fight in general. So, you had a lot of suicides, you had a lot of alcohol problems, you had a lot of accidents, you had a lot of murders within the Ukrainian army.
And that led a lot of young Ukrainians to leave the country, because they didn’t want to join the army. And what I’m saying is, I mean, it was recorded and reported by official reports in the UK and the US, I think. They made some very interesting reports on the low rate of recruitment of individuals, because people didn’t want simply to join the army. And that’s the reason why NATO was involved, and I was involved in such a program, trying to reshuffle the image of the army and find solutions to improve the recruitment condition of the army, and things like that.
But the solutions that were provided by NATO were in fact institutional solutions that would take time, and in order to compensate with lack of personnel and probably to have more aggressive military personnel, they started to use internationalists and mercenaries, as a matter of fact. Nobody knows exactly the number of these paramilitaries or extreme rights militias. Reuters put the figure at one hundred thousand. I’m not able to verify that, but that was a figure given by Reuters. And that seems to fit what we can observe now in the different regions of the country. So, these paramilitaries took a major role not in mobile warfare, and I would say [not in] the normal field warfare, but they were used in maintaining order within cities. And that’s exactly what you have today in Mariupol, for instance, where you had those people, because they are not equipped for field operations. They are equipped for urban warfare. They have light equipment, they have some armored vehicles, but they don’t really have tanks, anything like this.
So, this is definitely units that are meant for urban warfare. That’s what they do in major cities. And these guys are extremely fanatic, we can say, and they are extremely dangerous.

Non-humans? That's where you're at with your war justification? ...and just when I thought your propaganda couldn't get any more despicable.
The soldiers of the enemy are demonized. They cannot be called either people or beasts. They are non-humans. And therefore we need our common cry to God. Only with His help will we win.
