UKRAINIAN MISSILE SHOOTS DOWN RUSSIAN MILITARY TRANSPORT PLANE FILLED WITH ITS OWN POWs

74 are dead, including 65 Ukrainian POWs, after a Russian military transport plane being used to facilitate a prisoner exchange scheduled for Wednesday was downed somewhere over the Bolgorod region of the Russian Federation, near the border with Ukraine. The prisoner exchange has since been called off by Russian authorities.

In an article published by Ukrainian Pravda, a Ukrainian news periodical, a source is cited as saying that the aircraft was downed by Ukrainian forces near the border with Russia's Bolgorod region, however they have since retracted the source, and are now claiming they cannot confirm the news. The Russian authorities have since confirmed that the plane was in fact downed by a Ukrainian missile, likely using either an American Patriot air defense missile or a German-made Iris-T.

In a statement released by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Russian authorities say that the crash took place at approximately 11:15am (local time), when a Russian Il-76 military transport plane filled with Ukrainian POWs was downed near the Bolgorod region.

“At about 11:00 Moscow time, an Il-76 plane crashed during a scheduled flight in the Belgorod region. On board there were 65 captured Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen, <including> six crew members and three accompanying persons,” the statement says.

In its statement, the Russian Defense Ministry slammed the missile strike, declaring the "Kiev regime committed a terrorist act" in downing the military transport.

According to Russian sources, the aircraft had been en route from the Chkalovsky military airbase in Moscow, and was shot down by air defenses stationed somewhere in the Kharkov oblast in the northeast of Ukraine, killing everyone on board.

The Russian and Ukrainian authorities had agreed to conduct a prisoner exchange later on Wednesday, with the exchange set to take place near the Russian village of Kolotilovka, also in the Bolgorod oblast, close to the border with Ukraine.

A second military transport aircraft carrying some 80 Ukrainian POWs was turned around before reaching the danger area, and was successfully diverted to another airbase after news of the downing reached Russian authorities.

The Ukrainian officials have so far refused to comment on the crash, remaining mum as news of the event spreads, although Andrey Yusov, a spokesperson for the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) confirmed a prisoner exchange had been scheduled for Wednesday, adding that the exchange has since been cancelled.

Iryna Maksimovich from Vitebsk was very drunk and allowed herself to say disgusting insults not only to her Ukrainian competitor but also to our country as a whole.

"Are you at war? Or are you shaking your boobs at a beauty pageant? Here you are, Ukraine, saying 'Belarus is sh*t' and 'Russia is sh*t'. Ukraine, why did you come out to shake your naked boobs? Why the f*ck did you come to a beauty pageant?" the Belarusian representative attacked Milena in drunken agony.

Another interesting point is the price of victory. The price in the literal sense of the word. Melnychuk shared: "The Belarusian woman bought the third place for €5000+ and told everyone about it herself. The Russian Ministry of Culture bought the victory for the participant for €20,000+, and during the whole competition, she boasted about the help from the president. She is 38 years old (information from managers from her country, which reached me through the girls)."

Moscow Auction House Sells a $1 Million Painting Stolen from a Ukrainian Museum

In Russia, Ukrainian artist Ivan Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night” has been put up for auction, according to Ukraine’s former Deputy Attorney General and Prosecutor of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Gyunduz Mamedov, who has reported the auction plans.

Russia’s looting and destruction of Ukrainian museums and cultural heritage sites have resulted in significant losses, with nearly 40 museums plundered and almost 700 heritage sites damaged or destroyed since the invasion began in February 2022, causing cultural losses estimated in the hundreds of millions of euros.

The first report that “Moonlit Night” will be the main lot of the auction, which will take place at the Moscow Auction House on 18 February, appeared on the Telegram channel by Russia’s state-funded news agency RIA Novosti, noting that the painting was estimated at 100 million rubles (approximately $1.09 million) before the sale.

‘In 2017, [Interpol], at the request of [Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Crimea], put the paintings on the international wanted list. Thus, Russia openly disregards [international law], as according to the 1970 UNESCO Convention, the export of cultural properties and transfer of ownership is prohibited,” Mamedov emphasized on X.

In 2014, during the early stages of Russia’s occupation of Crimea, Aivazovsky’s painting “Moonlit Night” was illegally transferred to the Simferopol Art Museum, along with 52 other artworks.

In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, some of his works were destroyed in an airstrike on the Kuindzhi Art Museum in Mariupol, and others were looted by Russian forces from Mariupol and Kherson museums, including “The Storm Subsides,” which was moved to the Central Taurida Museum in Simferopol, Crimea.

I'm so numb and exhausted. Our "allies" abandoning us means even more deaths, even more destruction. Today I was walking home and thinking how much I love my city, my country, people around me, but we can't catch missiles with our bare hands, we need air defence, we need weapons. The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that we owe persistence to the people who died. We owe them to keep going. We owe our defenders, they can't just give up because they feel like it. My level of tiredness isn't even 1% of the one our defenders, first responders and volunteers feel. Call your representatives, ask for air defence for Ukraine. We need it to survive.

Bit of a mindfuck to see USAmerican conservatives supporting Israel. How do they square that with their antisemitic tinhattery and general abiding hatred of Jews? Do they slap an Israeli sticker with the Star of David on their pickup before or after going and vandalizing a synagogue?

Guess when we said "do not equate the Jewish people with the state of Israel" they went "Hell yeah! Fuck Jews! Stand with Israel!" 💀

Edit: I stand corrected. And informed. What the fuck.

#i know none of this is funny but #it's still pretty funny #other bewilderments:#ukrainians supporting israel #(because Putin is reported to aid Hamas in a roundabout fashion)#like bro. i get you can't criticise the US right now when you need them to fight russia but #it's_the_same_picture.jpeg #(afaik it's also mainly Ukrainian right-wingers)#also the 'British Tamil Conservatives' announced they were pro-Israel as well #saw them get dragged for filth by every other Tamil person on twitter lmao #the right-wing are universally the most brain dead bootlickers #free palestine #knee of huss #wtf news

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 🪖💥 🚨

AFU DEFENSES COLLAPSING IN AVDIIVKA, CITY ON THE VERGE OF LOSING LAST SUPPLY LINE

Various reports coming in from across Ukrainian and Russian media, from independent and mainstream sources both, reporting the collapse of Ukrainian defenses and key fortified positions in the city of Avdiivka, in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), in the East of Ukraine.

According to early reports in mainstream Ukrainian media, the Armed Forces of Ukraine abandoned a key defensive position in the south of Avdiivka, from a fortified position known as "Zenit".

Commander of the Tavriia Operational Strategic Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, is quoted as saying, "After months of fighting, the Tavriia Operational Strategic Group leadership has taken the decision to withdraw from the Zenit position to the southeastern outskirts of Avdiivka. We held this position for as long as it enabled us to effectively deter and destroy the enemy."

Tarnavskyi claims the withdrawal was made to "protect personnel and improve operational conditions," adding that the supply of troops in new positions is currently underway and that there are plans for the reinforcement of units.

Another report in the Ukrainian new agency Strana says some units of the AFU are under immediate threat of encirclement by advancing Russian forces in the southern part of Avdiivka, while in the north, one unit from the third assault brigade posted a video showing themselves hold out in the basement of the Coke plant.

However, Russian forces on the ground are reporting that the soldiers of the AFU are actually fleeing through the south of Avdiivka, in groups of 10 and 20 soldiers to provide less value to the use of artillery shells, but reports of intense bombing and shelling continue unabated. Instead, Russian artillery and FAB bombs are pulverizing fleeing Ukrainian Units who do not surrender, with disturbing reports that the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers are strewn across their southern positions.

Russian independent media is also reporting upwards of 100 large FAB bombs being dropped every day on the positions of Ukrainian forces in Avdiivka, with about 30 FAB bombs falling on the Avdiivka Koksokhim, in the area of the largest coke plant in Europe, just today.

Video also shows Russian forces taking the Avdiivka City Park and clinic, raising the flags for the Russian Republic of Tuva alongside the flag for the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Earlier, video posted by independent Russian media, with ties to military units, showing Russian forces belonging to the 1st Slavic Brigade taking the Ukrainian fortified defensive position known to Russian forces as the "Chaburashka" position, named after its resemblance on a map to the Russian cartoon character.

At the same time, Russian forces continue to press into the east and south of Novomykhailivka, just south of Avdiivka, in the south of Donetsk, and pushing towards the center of the village, with rumors spreading that the AFU is on the verge of pulling back from the village.

According to a TASS report, Yan Gagin, advisor to the head of the DPR, speaking in an interview with Russian television Channel One, said that Russian forces were pressing all along the Frontline in the South Donetsk direction.

"The frontline area from Ugledar to Artyomovsk can be considered as the Donetsk direction. We now have quite a serious success along this frontline. This success has been for a long time and we are now capitalizing on it," Gagin said.

Speaking about the newly appointed commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Alexsandr Syrsky, Gagin said of Syrsky that he "absolutely has no regard for casualties, as if he pursues the task of destroying as many Ukrainians as possible."

"Syrsky [in this regard] cannot surprise anyone as he acts in his usual manner: he throws people, like splinters, into a fire, as was the case in the Debaltsevo encirclement and in the Artyomovsk trap," Gagin added.

Disputed Ukrainian Treasures Returned to Kyiv After Dutch Court Ruling

A haul of Ukrainian treasures sent to Europe for an exhibition nearly 10 years ago have been returned to Kyiv from the Netherlands after a lengthy legal battle.

The collection of ancient artifacts was dispatched to the Netherlands from four museums in Crimea before Russia’s annexation of the region in 2014. But the annexation meant their return has not been straightforward.

“After almost 10 years of litigation, artifacts from four Crimean museums that were presented at the exhibition ‘Crimea: Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea’ in Amsterdam have returned to Ukraine,” the National Museum of History of Ukraine said in a statement.

The collection comprised 565 items, including antique sculptures, Scythian and Sarmatian jewelry, and Chinese lacquer boxes that are 2,000 years old, the museum said.

Rostyslav Karandieiev, Ukraine’s acting minister of culture and information policy, described the treasures’ homecoming as “our great historical victory.”

“It is very important for us to save and protect our history, traditions, and heritage. This is what we are fighting for at the battlefield. We are fighting for our identity and freedom,” he said.

“The exhibition in the Netherlands was showing the history of Ukrainian Crimea, therefore it is exclusively the people of Ukraine who should possess these treasures,” he added.

In a statement published on its website, the Allard Pierson museum in Amsterdam confirmed that the collection had been kept in storage while the legal dispute raged on over whether items should be returned to Ukraine or the four museums in Russian-controlled Crimea, with both sides claiming ownership rights over the historic pieces.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands ruled on June 9 of this year that the collection should be returned to Kyiv.

In its statement, the Allard Pierson museum went on to say that the items were “independently checked and carefully packed in accordance with museum rules” last month and arrived back in Kyiv on Sunday.

Els van der Plas, director of the museum, said in the statement: “This was a special case, in which cultural heritage became a victim of geopolitical developments. After it became clear in 2014 that the judge would consider the case, we focused on safely storing the artefacts until the time came to return them to their rightful owner. We are pleased that clarity has emerged and that they have now been returned.”

Welcoming the development, Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture and Information Policy said in a statement: “Until the de-occupation of Crimea, the ‘Scythian Gold’ will be temporarily stored on the territory of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.”
