⚡️ Enemy propaganda keeps trying to intimidate the population of Kharkiv. This time, the enemy's manipulations targeted underground schools being built in the city.
◾️ russian propaganda is spreading fakes that the underground schools will be used by the Ukrainian military as command posts. In this way, enemy propagandists threaten to launch missile attacks on underground schools in Kharkiv under the fictitious pretext of Ukraine's "military use" of these facilities. As an argument in favor of the "necessity" of potential strikes on these schools, enemy propagandists cite their "similarity" to command posts built by the Americans during the Cold War.
In this way, the enemy is trying to justify the terrorist attacks on Kharkiv with mythical military targets in schools.
❗️Threats of attacks on Kharkiv's underground schools are part of the enemy's disinformation campaign of "fear mongering."

Every soldier wants a pet.
Kharkiv. It is impossible to watch this footage with a cold heart.
A young firefighter cries at the site of the impact, where Russia cynically killed his father, a 52-year-old rescuer, a few minutes before.
The deceased Vladyslav Loginov devoted his life to work in the fire service. His son, Volodymyr, also following his father's example, became a firefighter and worked as a guard chief at a nearby fire station. On this hellish night, immediately after the first explosions, the father and son and their colleagues immediately left for the place of impact.
Vladyslav and Volodymyr worked next to each other, literally a few houses away from each other. When a powerful explosion rang out, the son immediately understood that it had most likely flown to where his father was.
It is hard to imagine the emotions he experienced when he saw the bloody body of his father. Great grief for relatives, colleagues, friends.
We sincerely sympathize with each family's loss.
We remember everyone 🕯️

Pope Francis remembered a Ukrainian soldier from Bakhmut who died at the front of Avdiivka.
At his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square in Rome he was holding a rosary and a New Testament wrapped in camouflage colors in his hands, personal belongings of the young man.
“This boy's name was Oleksandr: 23 years old. Oleksandr read the New Testament and the Psalms, and in the book of Psalms he had underlined Psalm 129: 'Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice'. And this 23-year-old boy died in the war. He lost the life that he would have had before him,”
Francis said. The Pope called on the faithful to observe a minute's silence in memory of "this boy and all others who, like him, died in this insane war."
The fallen soldier's belongings were presented to the Pope by the nun Lucía Caram, a contemplative Dominican of Argentine origin, on March 13, the 11th anniversary of the start of his pontificate. Since the beginning of the war she has been involved in Ukraine.

The terrorist attack in the suburbs of Moscow encouraged Russians to go and fight in Ukraine
According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, during the interviews held over the past week, most of the candidates indicated the desire to take revenge for the victims of the tragedy that occurred on March 22, 2024 in "Crocus City Hall" as the main motive for signing the contract.
The Russian military declares that only in the last 10 days, 16,000 citizens signed up for the war in Ukraine, and 1,700 people come to the selection points every day.
Russia is persistently looking for a "Ukrainian trace" in the terrorist attack near Moscow, despite the fact that the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.
❗️The Washington Post (WP) with reference to American officials writes that the USA warned the Russian Federation 2 weeks before the attack that "Crocus City Hall" and a synagogue in Moscow were potential targets for terrorists.
Putin, on the other hand, has previously rejected Washington's warnings, calling them "blackmail."
The US regularly shares information about the preparation of terrorist attacks with other countries, but the target is rarely revealed - in order not to betray its sources.
