Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry spokesperson:

«Groupings of troops of DPR and LPR develop success of the offensive on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with fire support from the Armed
Forces of the Russian Federation.

The units of the Lugansk People's Republic in the Severodonetsk direction rapidly advanced to a depth of 12 kilometers.
The grouping of troops of the Donetsk People's Republic in the direction of Volnovakha advanced 11 kilometers deep into the defence of the nationalist
battalions.

Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not participate in hostilities for the most part. Only battalions of Ukrainian Nazis are resisting.
Moreover, in advance, the Security Service of Ukraine integrated into the military units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces groups of notorious nationalists
numbering 25-30 people who underwent special training.

Nationalists identify unreliable among Ukrainian servicemen. And if the commanders of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decide to withdraw from
the occupied lines, they act as barrage detachments. In some directions, they blow up bridges to exclude the possibility of retreat of military units of
the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

More than one case has been recorded of lynching and reprisals by nationalists against who do not want to fight to intimidate the personnel of the Armed
Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian servicemen who laid down their arms say this.

At the moment, the units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have completed blocking Chernihiv city.
Russian servicemen are taking all measures to prevent casualties among the civilian population.

On February 24, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation carried out a successful landing operation in the area of Gostomel airfield in the suburbs of
Kiev.
More than 200 Russian helicopters were involved in the operation. The success of the landing was ensured by the suppression of the entire air defence
system in the landing area, the complete isolation of the combat area from the air and active electronic warfare.

During the capture of the airfield, more than 200 nationalists from the special units of Ukraine were eliminated.

There are no casualties in the Russian Armed Forces.

At present, the main forces of the airborne troops have connected with the units of the Russian servicemen at the Gostomel airfield, blocking Kiev from
the west.

The units of the Russian Armed Forces continue to perform tasks in the area of Kiev and other cities, showing courage and heroism.
At present, reconnaissance data show that Grad multiple launch rocket system mounts have been deployed on Shevchenko Square in Kiev to strike at the
Gostomel airfield.

Pentagon and CIA advisers taught the Ukrainian military leadership how to place rocket artillery systems in residential areas to provoke return fire on
local residents. Use by the Kiev regime of residential areas to cover the firing positions of its artillery is a war crime.
This is familiar to us. These techniques are actively used by terrorists supervised by the CIA in the Middle East and other countries.
I appeal to Ukrainian citizens.
Your nationalist leadership uses the same methods as the terrorists. They want to use you as a human shield.
Russian Armed Forces will not inflict any strikes on residential areas of the Ukrainian capital».

Special military operation continues.
Groupings of troops of DPR and LPR continue counter-offensive operations against units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with fire support from the Armed
Forces of the Russian Federation.
The grouping of troops of the Donetsk People's Republic in the Volnovakha direction, overcoming the stubborn resistance of the enemy, advanced one more
kilometer deep into the defence of the nationalist battalions.
The grouping of troops of the Luhansk People's Republic in the Stepovoe area advanced to a depth of up to 9 kilometers.
During the hostilities, more than 150 servicemen of various power structures of Ukraine laid down their arms and surrendered.
In the area of Zmeiny Island, 82 Ukrainian servicemen laid down their arms and voluntarily surrendered to a unit of the Russian Armed Forces. At
present, they are signing a refusal to participate in hostilities. In the near future they will be returned to their families.
Another 11 servicemen of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered near Nikolaevsk settlement.
Also, one of the units of the marines of the 36th separate marine brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine contacted the command of the people's militia
of the DPR and requested a corridor to enter the territory of the republic. After laying down their weapons, they will also be able to return to their
families.
After the stabilization of the situation in the combat arearea, all surrendered Ukrainian servicemen will be released home.
In the course of a special military operation, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed 118 military facilities of the military infrastructure of Ukraine.
Among them: 11 military airfields, 13 command posts and communication centres of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 14 S-300 and Osa anti-aircraft missile
systems, 36 radar stations.
Shot down: 5 combat aircraft, 1 helicopter, 5 unmanned aerial vehicles.
18 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 7 multiple rocket launchers, 41 units of special military vehicles and 5 combat boats were destroyed.
Yesterday, February 24, units of the Russian Airborne Troops took full control of the territory in the area of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
An agreement was reached with the servicemen of a separate battalion of protection of the nuclear power plant of Ukraine on joint security of the power
units and the sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
The radioactive background in the area of the nuclear power plant is normal. NPP personnel continue to maintain NPP facilities in the normal mode and
monitor the radioactive situation.
The joint actions of Russian paratroopers and Ukrainian servicemen of the NPP security battalion to defend the plant is a guarantee that nationalist
formations or other terrorist organizations will not be able to take advantage of the current situation in the country to organize a nuclear provocation.
