MELITOPOL, April 1. /TASS/. German mercenaries were reported to appear along the Zaporozhye frontline, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together With Russia public movement, told TASS.
"Germans appeared at the Zaporozhye frontline, they are young, literally 20-something years old," he said.
Rogov also stated that that Polish speech is often heard during interceptions of radio talks at the Zaporozhye line of engagement.
On March 27, he told TASS that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had assembled up to 75,000 people in the Zaporozhye Region following the attempted offensive on March 23 that was repelled by Russian forces, which eliminated up to 400 militants.
Earlier, Rogov told TASS that Ukrainian forces are preparing an offensive on Melitopol in order to reach the Sea of Azov and sever the land corridor to Crimea from the supply routes for Russian forces and the population of the peninsula. According to the politician, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be ready for active operations in the Zaporozhye Region in late March or early April.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov said in an interview with the Polish news outlet Gazeta Wyborcza that was published on March 29 that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were wrapping up preparations for several "counterstrikes," but would be unable to carry them out now partly due to weather conditions."
Russian diplomat urges G7 countries to assess global damage they caused in past 25 years
MOSCOW, February 28. /TASS/. Members of the Group of Seven (G7) need to assess the damage they caused to the world in the past 24 hours, Russian Foreing Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
When commenting on the G7’s statement that Russia would be responsible for any damage caused to Ukraine, Ukrainian nationals and international organizations, the diplomat pointed out that G7 countries should start with themselves. "It is high time the G7 assessed the damage that its members caused to the world in the past 20-25 years, and offset it with its own money rather than with someone else’s," Zakharova noted. These countries created damage "on several continents," she stressed.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation based on a request from the heads of the Donbass republics. The Russian leader stressed that Moscow had no plans to occupy Ukrainian territories and the goal was to demilitarize and denazify the country. Russia’s Defense Ministry reported later that the Russian Armed Forces were not delivering strikes against Ukrainian cities. The ministry emphasized that the Ukrainian military infrastructure was being destroyed by precision weapons and there was no threat to civilians.

Provocative actions by the US Armed Forces have been reported in the Syrian province of Al-Hasakah, the Russian side has voiced its protest against them, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, said on Friday.
"Provocative actions by units of the US Armed Forces have been recorded in the Al-Hasakah Province. During joint Russian-Turkish patrols, the movement of two patrols conducted by the so-called anti-terrorist coalition were tracked along the non-deconfliction routes near Deiruna-Aga and Saramsak. The Russian side has protested to the coalition," Gurinov said.
According to the top brass, the violation of the deconfliction agreements by the coalition jeopardizes the fragile balance of power, which has been achieved through Russia’s efforts, in the region, and also has a negative impact on the development of the situation.
According to Gurinov, over the past 24 hours, four cases of shelling from the positions of Jabhat al-Nusra and Turkistan Islamic Party terrorist groups (both are banned in Russia) were recorded in the Idlib de-escalation zone. He added that a Syrian soldier had been wounded in sniper fire opened against government forces.
