The grouping of troops of the Luhansk People’s Republic, with fire support from the Russian armed forces, continued offensive operations and reached the line of Krasny Lyman, Yampol, Privolye. The offensive continues in the direction of Kramatorsk.

Official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Yevgeny Konashenkov stated at a briefing.

The units of the Armed Forces of the Donetsk People’s Republic carried out successful offensive operations and advanced up to 8 km overnight. The settlements of Nazarovka, Kuibyshevo, Kalinino, Novogrigorievka were taken under control.

The group of troops of the DPR continued to compress the encirclement around the city of Mariupol and took control of the plant named after Lenin.

The armed forces of the Russian Federation continued the offensive, acting on adjacent flanks with the units of the DPR, took control of the settlement of Verkhnyaya Krinitsa, Komsomolskoye, Chistopolye, Novopoltavka, Kamysh, Zarya, Truzhnevo.

On 28 February, the Russian Armed Forces took control of the city of Energodar, the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the territory adjacent to it. The military personnel of the Ukrainian National Guard who were guarding the power plant, even before the arrival of the Russian units, left the facility and disappeared in an unknown direction.

The station facilities and the adjacent territory were taken under guard by Russian military personnel.

Over the past five days, the personnel of Zaporozhye NPP continued the planned work on maintenance of facilities and control of the radioactive situation in the usual mode.

However, last night, on the territory adjacent to the power plant, the Kiev nationalist regime attempted to implement a monstrous provocation.

On 4 March, at about 2 am, while patrolling the protected area adjacent to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, A mobile patrol of the Russian Guard was attacked by a Ukrainian sabotage group.

To provoke return fire on the building, from the windows of several floors of the training complex located outside the power plant, heavy fire from small arms was opened at the servicemen of the Russian Guard.

The firing points of Ukrainian saboteurs in the building of the training complex were suppressed by the return fire of the Russian patrol from small arms. Leaving the building, the Ukrainian sabotage group set fire to the training building.

The fire brigades arrived at the building and extinguished the fire in the premises. At the time of the provocation, none of the full-time employees of the power plant was in the training building.

At present, the staff of Zaporozhye NPP continues to work in a regular mode, maintains nuclear power plant facilities and monitors the radioactive situation. The radioactive background in the area of ​​the power plant is normal.

Zelensky’s prompt statements about the alleged threat to the nuclear power plant and his talks with Washington and London leave no doubt. The purpose of the provocation of the Kiev regime at a nuclear facility is an attempt to accuse Russia of creating a source of radioactive contamination.

All this testifies to the criminal intent of the Kiev regime or the complete loss of control over the actions of Ukrainian subversive groups with the participation of foreign mercenaries by Zelensky.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at the military infrastructure of Ukraine.

In total, 1812 objects were hit during the operation, among them: 65 command posts and communication centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 56 S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, 59 radar stations.

Also 49 aircraft on the ground and 13 aircraft in the air, 635 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 67 multiple launch rocket systems, 252 field artillery and mortar guns, 442 units of special military vehicles, and 54 unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed.
