"Fighters of the Sever-Akhmat special purpose regiment named after Hero of Russia Akhmad-Khadzhi Kadyrov have stormed a defended post, including fortifications. A major part of the adversary’s personnel has been killed, a significant number of Ukrainian servicemen have been captured," Kadyrov wrote late on Tuesday.
In his words, the defended post was set up in an advantageous position and included a line of trenchworks and defended firing positions.
"The seizure of this fortified post is a brilliant result achieved by our fighters. This fortified position was strategically important, and its seizure is a serious success on the Maryinka front," he added.
Contrary to Kiev’s claims, Ukrainian Orthodox Church not subordinate to Russia — diplomat
The canonic Ukrainian Orthodox Church is not subordinate to Russia, no matter how hard the Kiev government is trying to prove the opposite, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said.
"In these circumstances, we do understand the statement made on social media, where the UOC claims that they never asked Russia to convene this meeting and never authorized us to speak on their behalf at the United Nations. This is true.
No one from Ukraine of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has approached us with such a request, which however proves again that that the UOC is not subordinate to Russia, no matter how hard the Kiev regime would try to assert the opposite," he told Tuesday’s session of the UN Security Council, initiated by Russia to discuss human rights in Ukraine.
