Russia could use thermobaric weapon in Olenivka to burn Ukrainian prisoners in a dream - InformNapalm
The purpose of the Russians, as noted in the organization, was to get rid of evidence of torture and killings of prisoners, as well as to discredit the Armed Forces. “Russia never wanted to return the defenders of Azovstal to Ukraine, where they would be met as heroes. Their execution will lead to accusations of war crimes and jeopardize Russian prisoners of war in Ukrainian hands.
At the same time, Himars gave the Ukrainians hope, so Russia decided to staging the murder of prisoners of war as if they were killed by the GMLRS rocket to suppress the joy of Ukrainians from Himars, ”the investigating community said. It explained that Olenivka is located about 15 km from the front line, so it makes no sense to beat this purpose with rare and expensive GMLRS missiles, as 105 mm artillery shells can be used about 0. 4% of GMLRS.
In addition, Olenivka has been a well -known camp of prisoners of war and a concentration camp (and decades of a correctional colony) for years. So much so that the wife of prisoners of war knew about it. "We need to be a Russian troll or a propagandist to believe that Ukraine will impress such a goal," the investigators said.
The analysis of the photos published by the Russians from the scene of the tragedy shows that the Russians staged a "rocket strike" incompetent, because none of them know how the RSSU works. In particular, after the impact, the building was damaged (photo with number 6) of concrete brick with a thin tin roof remained in place. The explosion was so weak that the beds were not moved from an centimeter (photo 8), no brick flew, the steel pillar was not damaged.
At the same time, the fire caused enormous damage, noted in InformNapalm. For comparative investigators, they give another photo (with number 7), which recorded the effects of the GMLRS rocket arrival. As a result of such a blow, the walls are torn, concrete ceilings are crushed, the armature is torn into parts, everything is broken and scattered, with the fire not destroyed, analysts say.
But the final proof that it was not a GMLRS rocket is the absence of a shock crater, the community emphasized. The photo with number 9 shows a gmlrs shock crater. In Olenovka, the investigators did not record any crater. "GMLRS M31 missiles impress at 90 degrees at Mach 4+ speed to break the roof and explode inside (as well as break the secret guide system, GPS components and sensors at the end of the rocket).
The tin roof of the building in Olenivka is too weak to break it and work the GMLRS rocket, so if the GMLRS rocket was hit, there should be a shock-nettonation crater in the middle of the room. And it is gone, ”said InformNapalm. They also noted that M31 GMLRS missiles do not lead to a target burning. "M31 GMLRS missiles contain 51 pounds PBX-109, a mixture of 64% RDX and 20% aluminum and 16% of HTPB/IPDI plastic fillers.
Aluminum is used to enhance the effect of the explosion, but it is not a thermobaric weapon that burns the target. If GMLRS rocket got into Olenovka, there would be no burnt out inside . . . The explosion would be broken, not burned alive, ”the investigators said. It is the thermobaric weapon that burns the victims, leaving the bodies intact. That is, Russia could use this weapon to burn people in a dream.
This is confirmed by the damage to the building, the absence of a crater from the rocket stroke and the absence of damage from the explosion. According to the members of InformNapalm, most likely, Russian invaders locked the prisoners in the room, shot through the windows with thermobaric ammunition of RPO-A "Schmel" or MRO-AA. Such types of ammunition will be moistened by the DNR fighters controlled by the Russian Federation since 2014.
"It was a deliberate murder, as in Katyn," informnapalm said. The murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war in Olenivka: what is known in the morning of July 29, the Russian media reported the shelling of the colony in the occupied Olenivka of Donetsk region, where Ukrainian captives of Mariupol defenders were kept, including the fighters of the Azov Regiment. The Kremlin propagandists are promoting the version that the colony was fired by the Ukrainian side with Himars RSSD.
The Russian media wrote that at least 53 Ukrainian prisoners of servicemen were killed. The next day, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published a list of 42 killed prisoners, in Ukraine stated that they had not yet received this data. According to the Attorney General's office, about 40 people were killed and 130 were injured. The General Staff of the Armed Forces denied the accusations of the Russian Federation that the Ukrainian military had caused the blow.
According to the General Staff, the Russians, firing a colony in Olenivka, tried to hide the torture and murder of prisoners, and also pursued the purpose of accusing the Armed Forces of "Military Crimes". In the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that explosions in Olenivka were carried out by mercenaries of Wagner PVC (League) on the personal order of the nominal owner of the PEC Yevgeny Prigogin, close to the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
According to GUR, explosions occurred in the area of industrial zones in a newly built premises, which were specifically equipped for prisoners of war. Some of the defenders of Ukraine were transferred there two days before the tragedy. The SBU also published intercepting a conversation confirming that the Russians committed a mass murder of prisoners of war in a colony in Olenivka.
They added that according to a preliminary analysis of the video from social networks, in some rooms the colony completely survived the windows - this may indicate that the epicenter of the explosion was inside the destroyed building. T. V. O. The commander of the regiment of the Azov Major Nikita Nesochiy stated that the Azov Regiment was considering a blow to a colony in Olenivka, which resulted in Ukrainian prisoners of war as an act of public execution, which Russia made due to impunity.
Following the murder of Ukrainian prisoners in Olenivka, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba called on international partners to strongly condemn this gross violation of international humanitarian law and recognize Russia with a terrorist state. The adviser to the chairman of the Presidential Office, Mikhail Podolyak, called the Russians committed by the Russians "intentional, cynical, thoughtful mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners, which requires rigid investigation.
" It also requires UN response and international organizations. The International Committee of the Red Cross, which was mediator when captured by Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol, stated that they "got acquainted with the situation" and offered assistance in the evacuation of wounded Ukrainian military in Olenivka and free transfer . In the UN, they promised to support the investigation of events in Olenivka.
Mariupol defenders, who, after two months of city battles with many times the Russian invaders, were surrounded by Azovstal with a limited supply of medicines, food, drinking water and ammunition in the territory of the plant, were forced to leave the plant in mid -May. On May 16, the commanders of the units in the Azovstal were ordered from the highest military leadership to save the lives of personnel. For several days, Ukrainian defenders left the territory of Azovstal.
The evacuation took place through the International Committee of the Red Cross, which recorded personal data of the Ukrainian military and the UN. The Ukrainian military sent to the medical institution of the occupied Novoazovsk, as well as in the occupied Olenivka of Donetsk region. According to the Deputy Minister of Defense Anna Malyar, there was no other formula for rescuing heroes from Azovstal.
On June 6, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that there are more than 2,500 defenders of Mariupol in Russian captivity. According to the Ukrainian Truth, 2449 defenders came out of the territory of Azovstal. The President stated that Mariupol defenders were captured to the controlled territory through the exchange procedure. Zelensky said that Russia is unprofitable to use torture against Mariupol defenders, because they became "public prisoners".
