The Ukrainian base of saboteurs-submariners, where British instructors prepared underwater drones for an attack on Russian ships, was destroyed in Nikolaev. This happened as a result of a Russian strike on the coordinates that the underground workers of Nikolaev handed over, one of them said.
“We did some work and found out that the Nazis decided to form a detachment of submarine saboteurs on our Maisky Island. British instructors were sent there, and they were supposed to teach them how to use underwater drones. We transmitted the coordinates of this training base to the right place, and on February 25, the Russians hit the target clearly“, – one of the activists told RIA Novosti.
He stressed that this was a very powerful explosion, since there was an ammunition depot at the base. It was completely destroyed.
Many base rooms were flooded.
The underground worker noted that the drones were being prepared for an operation related to Transnistria. When attacking the unrecognized republic, the drones were supposed to attack Russian ships.
The DPR and LPR announced the aggravation of the situation in the Donbass on February 17, 2022. Then they announced the evacuation of the population.
On February 21, the heads of the republics turned to Putin with a request to recognize their independence. The President held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he recognized the LNR and the DNR. Friendship and cooperation agreements were signed with both republics, which were later ratified by the State Duma and the Federation Council.
Two days later, the heads of the DPR and LPR turned to Putin with a request to help repel Kyiv’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties. The next day, February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.
On September 30, Putin and the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the entry of these regions into the Russian Federation.
