Meanwhile, Russian forces have "typically broken contact and withdrawn" and Kremlin commanders are "likely" to see the growing threat to the Nova Kakhovka region in southern Ukraine as one of their most "pressing concerns". The soldiers were able to make gains along the east bank of the Inhulets and west bank of the Dnipro but are "not yet threatening the main Russian defensive positions".
In its report, the ministry states that Ukrainian troops began a new phase of offensive operation in the southern port city of Kherson on 2 October and were able to push through 20km.
Real war footage killing update#
The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has released its latest update on the crisis in Ukraine. Ukraine has previously refuted claims that it was involved in the death of Ms Dugina.įollowing the attack, Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, reaffirmed the country's denial it was involved in the bombing and said "our special services have no relation to that". The sources said the US was not aware of the plan beforehand.Ĭommenting on the claims, a Ukrainian defence intelligence official told CNN they did not have any new information on Ms Dugina's death. Now, US intelligence findings have suggested that the death of Ms Dugina was authorised by elements within the Ukrainian government, sources briefed on the intelligence told CNN. Her father, who is credited as being the architect or "spiritual guide" to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, was widely believed to have been the intended target of the bombing, which Moscow has blamed on Ukrainian special services. In August, Darya Dugina, the daughter of Alexander Dugin, was killed when a remotely-controlled explosive device planted in the car she was driving detonated on the outskirts of Moscow. Volunteer groups are now preparing to exhume the remains of the victims, hoping it will throw more light on one of the most controversial periods in modern Czech history.The assassination of the daughter of a Putin ally was authorised by elements within the Ukrainian government, US intelligence sources have told CNN. The mass grave outside the former cinema is still there. From all this, I assume these were Soviet troops who executed a group of German civilians.â In the forefront, you can see a Soviet officer in boots with the typical map bag, while in the background is a group of Soviet soldiers, who are watching the truck. The truck is towing a cart or a field cannon. ÂThe truck has a Russian ID number and you can see a bunch of lilac flowers on the bonnet, which Czechs greeted the liberators with. But historian Eduard StehlÃk, form Pragueâs Military History Institute says in the Prague incident, the German people did not die at the hands of Czechs. Sixty-five years after the war, the mass expulsion of around three million ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia, and the murders of several dozen thousand of them in the process, remain a sore spot for many Czechs. Other parts of the documentary âKillings Czech styleâ focus on the murder of more than 1,000 Germans near the north Bohemian town of Zatec in June 1945, which the director says was the biggest post-war mass murder in Europe until the massacre of Srebrenica in 1995. His family later kept the film scroll hidden for more than 50 years, as the authorities did not look favourably on anyone possessing evidence of such atrocities. The massacre in Postoloprty in June 1945 The footage was shot by an amateur film maker on May 9, the day the Soviet troops finally reached Prague. Then they were taken out of the cinema and killed by Czech ârevolutionary guardsâ, with participation by some Soviet soldiers.â
Pragueâs cinemas were converted into internment camps for Germans whose houses and apartments were meanwhile being pillaged. ÂAround 40 Germans were picked up, regardless of their individual guilt, from the residential areas of Prague â BubeneÄ, OÅechovka, and others, and were interned in a cinema at BoÅislavka.
The director of the documentary, David VondráÄek, says this unique footage is evidence of the violent post-war days when Czechs, frustrated by six years of Nazi occupation, often took out their anger on anyone they could lay their hands on. Then, another part of the footage shows a military truck running over the bodies, some of which are presumably still alive. Then someone off screen begins shooting them at random, one after another. The scene changes and we see a line of German men standing on the edge of a ditch. The camera follows dozens of German soldiers and civilians â men, women and children â wearing white armbands being herded along a road on the outskirts of Prague by armed Czech militias.
