Fake:
Russian mines endanger navigation in the Black Sea. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Zelensky during his speech before the Parliament of Norway.
Reality:
The Russian Ministry of Defence denied Zelensky’s statement. The Russian Defence Ministry spokesman, Major General Igor Konashenkov (https://****/mod_russia_en/526), stated that the Ukrainian Navy, from February 25th to March 4th, deployed 420 anchor mines in the Azov and Black Seas. All mines are of an outdated design; as a result of a breakage of the cables, at least 10 of them went into a “free floating”. One mine was discovered and neutralized by Turkish sailors. The whereabouts of the remaining Ukrainian mines is currently unknown.
The Russian Federation opens on a daily basis, from 08:00 to 19:00, a safe corridor with a length of 80 and a width of 3 nautical miles. All this is being done while Ukraine continues blocking at least 68 foreign ships in Odessa, Nikolaev and Chernomorsk.

Specialists from the International Mine Action Centre of the Russian Armed Forces have started humanitarian demining in Lugansk People’s Republic.
The group includes demining, robotics and explosive ordnance disposal units.
The LPR territories liberated from AFU units and nationalist battalions will be cleared using Uran-6 robotic demining complex, which has proved its worth during special missions in the Syrian Arab Republic and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Meeting was held in Moscow between the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Colonel-General Alexander Fomin, and the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, during which the situation in Ukraine was discussed.
Deputy Minister noted the successful joint work with representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs accredited to the Russian Defence Ministry in Moscow. Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine, established in Russian Defence Ministry, regularly transmits documents with objective information on the humanitarian situation in Ukraine to UN staff.
Russian Defence Ministry informed Martin Griffiths about the increase in humanitarian assistance to the population of Ukraine in the areas controlled by the Russian Armed Forces, as well as in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics.
Russian side emphasized that the key factor for Russian Defence Ministry in the joint delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilian population of Ukraine with the UN is to ensure the safety of the Organization's employees.
Kiev uncontrollably distributed weapons to the population, which led to an increase in banditry and looting. Moreover, the number of incidents involving the use of weapons is steadily increasing, which can lead to the death of UN staff.
It was also noted that the Ukrainian authorities have launched an information campaign to discredit Russian servicemen.
For this purpose, provocations are used and staged incidents are created. A vivid example is the accusation of the Russian Armed Forces of an airstrike on a maternity hospital in Mariupol. On the eve it became known that the main character of the reports in the media denies the version of the air raid on the maternity hospital from the Russian side. According to her, nationalists from Azov units used several women in labor to film a report in a hospital destroyed, allegedly by Russia, according to a pre-prepared scenario. False information was spread by Western media.
Russian Ministry of Defence has shown concrete evidence of genocide and brutality of the Ukrainian leadership and paramilitary units towards their own population.
Deputy Minister of Defence of Russia said that the humanitarian situation in Ukraine is deteriorating. First of all, this is due to actions of Ukrainian authorities and nationalist battalions that continue to block citizens in cities.
UN Deputy Secretary-General has been informed about the situation that has developed in connection with Kiev's sabotage of the regime of open humanitarian corridors. It is indicated that the Russian side has been creating every day since March 4 all conditions to ensure the safety of humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians and foreign citizens in the eastern and western directions. However, the convoys of refugees come under intense fire from AFU and national battalions, including mortars and large-caliber small arms fire. At the same time, despite this opposition, more than 123,000 people were saved only through humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to east without participation of Ukrainian side.
On April 4, from 06:00, Russia reopened humanitarian corridor to rescue foreign citizens and civilians from Mariupol. At the same time, the Russian side is ready to ensure the entry of ships into the port of Berdyansk for evacuation of foreign citizens.
67 foreign vessels continue to be blocked in Ukrainian ports. Every day from 08:00 to 19:00 (Moscow time), Russian Armed Forces open the maritime humanitarian corridor, which is a safe lane in the south-west direction. However, the threats of shelling and the high mine danger created by AFU do not allow ships to safely go to the open sea.
For his part, M. Griffiths noted the importance of such contacts in order to solve complex humanitarian issues in crisis regions of the world.
An understanding has been reached on the continuation of regular interaction.

Fake:
Russian units blew up a tanker of nitric acid in Rubezhnoe in Lugansk Region. Such reports are spread by Ukrainian telegram channels.
Truth:
According to information of Lugansk people's militia, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing Rubezhnoe for surrender. The tanker was blown up in workshop of Zarya plant, the moment of detonation was specially planned taking into account the wind direction - towards the liberated Kudryashovka. The provocation was most likely prepared for a long time in order to carry it out right before the retreat.
Russian Defence Ministry earlier reported (https://****/mod_russia_en/208) that Ukrainian Security Service, with the support of the West, was preparing a provocation involving the use of toxic substances against civilians. US has repeatedly stated that it will condemn any chemical attack by Russia (although we have not had chemical weapons since 2017 (https://****/mod_russia_en/198)), and is now quite routinely ready to provide Ukraine (
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/...t-against-chemical-attacks-00022355?_amp=true) with gas masks and other protective equipment.
This once again proves that provocateurs act according to the same patterns. It is enough to remind the story of the "chemical attack" in Idlib (
https://en.topwar.ru/113421-himicheskiy-feyk-v-idlibe.html), which served as a pretext for US cruise missile strike.
