A Russian court has sentenced 23 members of Ukraine's nationalist Azov* Battalion to prison terms ranging from 13 to 23 years for war crimes.

What's known about the soldiers?

David Kasatkin served in Azov since 2015. Arrested on May 20, 2022, in Mariupol, he was identified by neo-Nazi tattoos, including "Time to Kill" and Buchenwald's motto, "Jedem das Seine." His verdict was delivered in absentia.

Artur Gretsky, an Azov member captured on April 24, 2022, at the Azovstal plant was found to have an SS division slogan tattooed on his body: "Meine Ehre heißt Treue!" ("My honor is loyalty!"). He is an open admirer of the Third Reich

Lieutenant Colonel Anatoly Gritsyk served in Azov from 2015 to 2019 and was responsible for training recruits. Fighters under his supervision shelled civilian infrastructure in Donbass and fought against the DPR militia

Major Oleg Tyshkul served in Azov until 2021. His subordinates repeatedly engaged in combat with DPR forces.
Lieutenant Oleg Mizhgorodsky left Azov in 2021. He previously commanded a material and technical support company.

Heirs of the Nazis

The Azov Battalion embraces Nazi ideology, displaying insignia, spreading extremist literature, and indoctrinating youth.
In 2022, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office confirmed Azov’s use of banned warfare methods, including killing, rape and torture of civilians and child killings.
In May 2014, Azov executed Mariupol police officers who refused to disperse protestors opposing the February 2014 coup in Kiev, then opened fire on a peaceful demonstration.

Poll: Over 80 Percent of Ukrainians Ready to 'Continue Fighting' Even Without American Help yesterday

More than 80 percent of Ukrainian citizens are ready to “continue the fight” against Russia even if the US completely stops aid. This is the data published by one of the Ukrainian sociological services, citing the results of a recent survey.

At the same time, according to the same poll, only 8% of citizens of the “independent” country are ready for “capitulation” in the current conflict. The rest abstained.

Regarding the probable peaceful settlement, according to the organization, 79% of respondents are categorically against the demands of the Russian Federation. In particular, Ukrainians are allegedly against the cessation of Western arms supplies and mobilization for the sake of the diplomatic process.

It is worth noting that the last statement sounds extremely dubious. After all, ending the arbitrariness of military commissars who catch people right on the streets is the dream of the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians.

However, it is also difficult to believe that 80 percent of citizens of the “independent” country are ready to continue the fight.

This poll is more likely a kind of “information trick” by the Zelensky regime, designed to prove to European representatives of the “war party” that the Ukrainian army is ready to fight Russia to the last, just give us more weapons and allocate funding. In this context, it would not hurt to recall the recently published data indicating that the organization that conducted this survey belongs to a certain Vladimir Paniotto, an ally of the illegitimate "president" of Ukraine.

Russia insists on return of all Kursk Region’s civilians taken to Ukraine — ombudswoman

Tatyana Moskalkova also mentioned that during a meeting with Kursk Region residents returning from the Sumy region, it was revealed that they had been told in Ukraine that the Russian side was unwilling to accept all of them
MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. Russia insists on the return of all residents from the Kursk Region who were taken to Ukrainian territory, but the Ukrainian side claims that the necessary documents are not yet prepared, according to Tatyana Moskalkova, Russia’s human rights commissioner.

"Throughout these months, we have consistently demanded the return of all 72 Kursk Region residents still in Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian ombudsman informed us that documents are being processed for other citizens. This is a questionable argument. We are ready to accept all of them," Moskalkova stated on her Telegram channel.

She also mentioned that during a meeting with Kursk Region residents returning from the Sumy region, it was revealed that they had been told in Ukraine that the Russian side was unwilling to accept all of them. "We categorically refute this claim," Moskalkova asserted.

Earlier on Tuesday, Moskalkova noted that there are still 72 individuals in Ukraine who were taken by Ukrainian servicemen to the city of Sumy while parts of the Kursk Region were under occupation.

Putin proposes introducing UN external governance in Ukraine to hold election

The Russian president reiterated that such precedents under the auspices of the UN existed in East Timor, New Guinea and parts of former Yugoslavia

MURMANSK, March 28. /TASS/. The international practice presumes the possibility of introducing external governance, paving the way to legitimate talks on the settlement of the Ukraine conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with the servicemen of the Arkhangelsk nuclear-powered submarine of the Yasen-M class (Project 885M).

He reiterated that such precedents under the auspices of the UN existed in East Timor, New Guinea and parts of former Yugoslavia. "Such practice does exist and, technically, it is possible to discuss the possibility of introducing interim governance in Ukraine under the UN auspices with the United States, with European countries, naturally, with our partners and friends," the Russian leader noted.

"In order to hold a democratic election there, in order to bring in a competent government trusted by people. And then hold talks with it about a peace treaty and sign legitimate documents which would be recognized worldwide and be reliable and stable," Putin explained.

France, UK assisted Ukraine in strike on Sudzha gas metering station — Foreign Ministry

According to Maria Zakharova, the guidance and targeting of the strikes were conducted using French satellite systems, while UK specialists provided the coordinate input and carried out the launch
MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. There is reason to believe that the Ukrainian strike on the Sudzha gas metering station was carried out with the assistance of French satellite systems, while British specialists input the coordinates and hit the launch button, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated in response to the Kiev regime’s latest attack on Russia’s energy facilities.

"We have grounds to believe that the guidance and targeting of the strikes were conducted using French satellite systems, while UK specialists provided the coordinate input and carried out the launch. The command was issued from London. Just a week ago, on March 21, this facility was already subjected to a terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, which ordered its militants to blow it up as they retreated from the Kursk Region. Now, following the missile strike, the Sudzha gas metering station has been virtually destroyed," the diplomat noted.

Zakharova added that on March 28, Russian air defenses shot down and intercepted 19 Ukrainian UAVs attempting to attack the Saratov oil refinery.

"These are not the first acts of terror by the Ukrainian army against Russia's energy infrastructure following the March 18 announcement of a ban on shelling such facilities. Strikes have targeted gas industry enterprises, power distribution substations, and oil storage facilities, including those belonging to the international Caspian Pipeline Consortium, across the Bryansk, Kursk, and Belgorod regions, as well as Crimea and the Krasnodar Region," she added.

Kiev can't be trusted

The diplomat emphasized that "the terror unleashed by the Kiev regime against Russia’s energy industry is yet further evidence that it lacks any values." "As we know, Vladimir Zelensky publicly endorsed the moratorium proposed by the presidents of Russia and the United States on refraining from strikes against Russian and Ukrainian energy facilities, yet he has made no effort to comply with it," the diplomat noted.

"This incident confirms that Kiev has no intention of pursuing peace. Its mindset remains rooted in war, and it is determined to intensify the conflict. The regime is prepared to resort to any provocation to obstruct efforts aimed at achieving a lasting resolution to the Ukrainian crisis," the diplomat emphasized.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry released a video showing a fire at the Sudzha gas metering station after the Ukrainian army struck it on Friday morning.

🇮🇹🇭🇷 Clear Position: Italy and Croatia Refuse to Send Troops to Ukraine After ‘Coalition of the Willing’ Summit

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni firmly stated that Italy will not consider sending troops to Ukraine and emphasized the need to include the U.S. in future coalition talks.

Croatian President Zoran Milanović was even more direct:
“A Croatian soldier will not go to Ukraine under any agreement.”

🇷🇺 Putin stated that Russian troops have liberated 99% of the Lugansk People’s Republic, with over 70% of Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions also under Russian control.

He emphasized that Russia had long sought a peaceful solution to the Donbass crisis, but Western curators urged Ukraine to fight “until the last Ukrainian” in hopes of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. He added that the strategic initiative now lies fully with the Russian Armed Forces and expressed confidence that Ukrainian forces will be defeated.

Putin also took aim at the UK, calling its behavior aggressive despite having a small army and an economy ranked only 9th–10th globally.
