UPD: The death toll reached 18 civilians, 111 others were wounded.
UPD on the morning of December 31: At least 24 people were killed, including four children. 131 civilians were wounded, including 18 children.
The Russian Ministry of Defence commented on the Ukrainian attack on civilians in the city of Belgorod, revealing important details. The Russian military officially confirmed that the city center full of civilians was shelled with prohibited cluster munitions designed not for precise defeat, but aimed to inflict maximum damage to manpower (civilians) in a large area. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation warned that the Ukrainian strike on the center of Belgorod will not go unpunished.
According to the ministry, Kiev fired at Belgorod with Olkha (Alder) MLRS with cluster munitions and missiles for the Czech-made Vampire MLRS, most of which were intercepted. At the moment, the deaths of at least 24 civilians, including two children, were confirmed. At least 108 civilians more were wounded.
‘Today, the Kiev regime attempted to launch an indiscriminate combined strike on the city of Belgorod with two Olkha missiles with prohibited cluster munitions, as well as Czech-made MLRS Vampire missiles.
Olkha missiles and most of the Vampire MLRS missiles were intercepted by Russian air defense systems. Several rockets and cluster parts from downed Olkha missiles hit the city of Belgorod.
In the case of a direct strike by Olkha missiles with cluster warheads on the city, the consequences would be immeasurably more severe.’ – the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
The Russian Defense Ministry explained that this was the way that Kiev attempted to distract attention from its defeats at the front, as well as provoke Moscow into similar response. However, the Ministry noted that, unlike the Ukrainian army, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation only target military facilities and infrastructure which provides for the needs of the Ukrainian military.
‘The Kiev regime, by indiscriminately striking crowded squares and committing this crime, is trying to distract attention from defeats at the front, as well as provoke us to such actions. We emphasize that the Russian Armed Forces strikes only on military facilities and directly related infrastructure.
We will continue to act like this. This crime will not go unpunished.’
As a result of the Ukrainian attack, several fires broke out in the city center. Most of the strikes hit crowded places, including the local cinema, the shopping center and Cathedral Square. Judging by the locations of most of the strikes, the target of the attack was precisely the city center and crowded areas where civilians gathered on the New Year’s Eve.

It is important to compare that the recent massive Russian strikes with more that 150 missiles and drones resulted in deaths of only 12 Ukrainian civilians, according to the official data provided by the emergency services. Most of them were killed by the failed strikes of Ukrainian air defense systems and as a result of unprofessional actions of air defense forces deployed in the densely populated cities but not on their outskirts. LINK The similar number of casualties as a result of a single Ukrainian attack is a clear evidence that Ukrainian Nazis intentionally targeted the crowded areas in the Russian city.
Footage of the strikes confirmed that the attack was launched with the prohibited cluster munitions, as numerous secondary explosions were heard. the precision strike on civilians with prohibited cluster weapons is a war crime. This is the way the terrorist Kiev regime has been fighting against the population in the Donbass, this is how it is terrorising civilians in Russia today.
Meanwhile, the Nazis in power in Kiev are celebrating the victory, mocking the deaths of civilians. They will soon cry again after Russian retaliation strikes. The Russian military is yet to attack the decision-making centers in Kiev, but the Ukrainian leadership is trying its best to provoke Moscow.
Former Ukrainian deputy and one of the main talking heads of the Kiev regime wrote: “Happy New Year, bitches!” in Russian
Kiev is already freely attacking the Russian territories with foreign weapons from NATO. Moreover, some Russian military sources claimed that according to the information they received, the terrorist attack on Belgorod was planned and carried out with the direct participation of the Ministry of Defense and the British special services.
easy solution, provide “inster military group here” where nato forces are operating with a few cluster warheads or shells and firing coordinates to uk/us forces. remember by american logic if you aren’t directly firing, you’re not involved. the difference is, usa has many vulnerable based throughout the world where these kind of attacks can be committed with minimal resources and score decisive material and manpower losses against nato forces
they can’t even trigger an air raid siren or shoot down the missiles, and you expect them to meaningfully retaliate?
the deaths of the civilians is on russia. when you already know that ukraine is inhabited by mindless orcs you should expect them to fire everything they have at civilians, and be prepared to deal with it. doing literally nothing and allowing the missiles to fly into populated areas is not my definition of dealing with it.
wiping maidan off the map would send a message.
ha ha ha with what lol , russia is done eh
they actually have and most of the incoming rockets were taken out before they could hit, but like it or not, some will come through..(statistics)… better read the article again….it clearly states it….
sadly you also have to remember that the russians don’t expect attacks on civilians as it isn’t in their playback. they aren’t treating this like a war. furthermore, airraid sirens don’t do much when flight time is minutes until impact. some of these are shells some of these are rockets. some will be picked up but sirens won’t do too much in the immediate instance except case panic. buildings were targeted where people would take shelter so causalities would have existed none the less.
stop making excuses. if there was an air raid siren then 24 people wouldn’t have died here. it would cause a panic? let’s fire a himars missile at you and then re-evaluate whether you’d rather have a warning several minutes in advance, or not.
what would the airraid siren have prevented? the bindings wher3 people would sheltered were hit. the sirens would have given a minute or 2 warning. the cluster spread resulted in wide spread damage and fires. there is no excuses. but the russians couldn’t have prevented it unless they carpet bomb everything into ukriane for a 100km from the border and maintain a wasteland unfit for anything mechanical or living.
if i can’t explain to you the benefits of having a concrete barrier between yourself and lightweight shrapnel, then one of the following possibilities must be true.
1: you do not have the cognition to understand even the most basic concepts.
2: you are intentionally playing dumb, and a high bodycount, even when preventable, is just fine with you, for whatever reason.
i find myself having the absolute most bizarre discussions about the war. some people will argue that a parking lot is a safer place to hide from cluster ammo than a basement, others will argue that having no rifle optics is somehow better than a high resolution thermal that can id infantry accurately from 700m away.
truly i wonder who these people are. deluded people, shills, bots?
today’s air raid sirens went off all over ukraine but 1000000 mercenaries and ukranato officers still bit the dust.
they ‘don’t expect?’ that’s nonsense. nazty bandoleros have been shelling and killing civilians for ten years already.

too much sunshine between your ears
can light traverse a vacuum? sound waves can’t so i wonder if light waves can.
that should have happened a long time ago, they could start by wiping the us out in syria and iraq.
24 us military bases in syria. why assad invite them?
it is no way in hell if i was the president of any country, and a neighboring country was doing to my people, i would not immediately burn their country to the ground, especially if i am the stronger country, why should russia take any of this from a nation that is weaker than them? also you only have to abide by the rules of war, if your adversary does, if ukraine thinks its okay to bomb residential neighborhoods, russia should also!
i will say what i said before during the first few months of this conflict, if the russians started slaughtering ukrainian civilians en masse, like how the israelis are doing the palestinians, the ukrainian government would think long and hard, before they ever strike a russian city again! the only reason this is happening is because the ukrainians feel there will be no consequences, its time for the ukrainians to be slaughtered, and unlike the palestinians they will actually deserve it!
the moment putin promissed to benett he wont targes zelinsky he gave him the heads up that there nothing can happen to him no matter what. that was the initial mistake.
do like us in belgrade….bomb til they give up
give weapons to houthis.
how does it feel.
too many amyl nitrate poppers for you last night?
well, there is a stark contrast. lots of militarybin kiev pictures of “civilian infrastructure” almost no military in russian civilian infrastructure. i suppose russia should use cluster warheads now against ukriane cities as kiev demonstrated this is how they like to proceed with this conflict. shame on you also. also an overwhelming majority of civilian killed in ukriane are a result of kievs inability to protect thir people and use equipment properly/ placing it in civilian dense areas
if it is true that british intelligence along with the s.a.s. participated in this attack, then everyone that lives in a western country, should be happy that i am not president vladimir putin. because you would be waking up in the morning, to ominious emergency alerts going off on your cellphone, tv and radio, saying that incoming ballastic missiles are on the way to your city! i would totally burn down ukraine along with their western sponsors: enough is enough!
that’s ok. their island going to sink soon anyway from debt.
we will see. ukras are very tempted to hit russian town in russia. they finally will know whats going on.
cluster bomb gud targit on civilies. we always now that. borrel say that gud rule basd order take out
i say what good for guss good for gandar
since 2014, ukraine has bombarded donetsk with cannons and from the air. because they wanted to live in peace from ethnic oppression. but still they can’t. your comment shows complete immoral childishness.
i am not immoral like you say and not even now what it mean
since 2014, ukraine has bombarded donetsk with cannons and from the air. because they wanted to live in peace from ethnic oppression. but still they can’t. your comment shows complete immoral childishness.
i know where belgorod is, but that doesn’t change the fact, ukraine has been doing this since 2014.
you copycat from israel bombarding hamas.
ussr made it by krustov made an exuse for invasion.
and sure. you has erased the filty reasons from 1991 to 2014 and the non lections in belarus too.
we in were are better informed according stalino oblast too. it seemes you not even know the city is crawling with russian soldiers, logistics and eqiment.
ukras has accurate very exspesibe artillery and dont waste grenades on bony civilian asses.
you open with that, we’ll how about the illegal state of kosova, the constant illegal meddling in europeam states by multinational entities. belarusian people are more inclined to side with russia than the west. i’ve been there. i have family there. majority don’t want to see the eu or nato expand. the empire of lies and death from the west must end.
krustov? who dat? like krusty the clown? that be bozo bojo, no?
he is spelled different ways.
god for safe we also dont use the primitive latter. you even are missing some letters.
visit kiev, smolensk and nogerod. drunk viking vikings were better that.
the commics erased the most important letters in 1918. marija fjodorovna told me. she was a dane and burried in sant petersborg.
we know ukraine pirate regim like kill civilians and even say so but we like that. danmark give up to german natsies in one day but give up to urkain natsies in one hour
i never wrote that crap.
what do you expect from ukropland? its a terrorist state
i ask khatkov people after rusia retaliot
i never wrote that.
i many times has written the un has recommended by 141 counties.
russans has several 100.0000. no see any solution by that. they only want to liberated from your kind from 1917 to now.
russia is liberating them from lands lenin and krushchev gave them after 1917. that should make you happy, bozo.
you are not even russia.
and the rest all the way to east of ddr?
you are just landgrabbers as the tzar. but the tzars more or less let those ukras. alone.
i dont see happy all the way from denikin. ukras were given nothing, whish more was a unwanted minus. we see it well by the invasion. you killings during time is real. an the nazis grabbed it for a while too.
feels real good and more to come. hotel ukraina on maidan next so no more nazi snipers can sleep there.
the rest of the world dont see those nazis. they must very reformed. they has a jew as their leader. hard time for hitler too.
you are tricked to barkning madnes
you are blind, my little munchkin
so fjunny. you has redefined lection too. you only elect elect between one person. and the many nazis has elected a jew a their leader. hard times for hitler too.
let it rain hellfire on the strongholds of azov tonight and let the tanks, attack helicopters and stormtroopers move in tomorrow. and just level the harbour of odessa, it already looked like a museum some years ago and has to be modernized anyways.
gloves off !!!! rusia knows verry well at witch point the armaments come in ukraine. and where the nato and 2000 yankees are stationned. the west, polish border. so, iskander missils on daily base and kaabboooom. us admittd having 2000 boots on the groune and uk his sas troops on the battle field. go for them and eliminate them. every ting on ukranian soal is a legitimate target !!!
americans and brits have to be hit hard with many of their “boys” coming home in body bags and in bits and pieces. only in that way, will public opinion be turned against their governments.
it’s a long time coming, it isn’t as if there are no targets.
im american but i accept that russia has to burn this country down, we are the new nazi germany and i am totally horrified, that we are responsible for all the civilian deaths in donbass and lpr and we keep supplying weaponry to worst people on the planet, so they can keep killing. not only here in ukraine, israel and elsewhere! russia has to put a end to this, i know what we would do as a nation, if an american city, was hit like this!
and it would not take multiple strikes on our cities, but only one mass casuality event like this, and the entire nation would be in an uproar and thirsty for blood! so why should the russians tolerate this and not be totally outraged and out for venegeance. if i was putin, i would hit ukraine, like how the israelis are hitting gaza, except unlike the palestinians, the ukrainians can only blame themselves for what is happening.
>so why should the russians tolerate this and not be totally outraged and out for venegeance.
i have no idea. a little ole false flag on pearl harbor was enough reason to use multiple nukes apparently. by those same standards the entire west should be a parking lot right now.
more like you blindfolded or worse. you know nothing.
. you cant even read about it.
seemes ukras already has hit you too.
ukras came in nite with santa claus and sucked all your brains out. now you only think with nose snot.
if he knows nothing, then you know nothing minus 10000000
well said, ‘a.h’.
western arms always come in at witch points because they are warlocks.
russians flashing down the streets.
wo cares. thare are some 144 mio of them all the way to vladivostok nothing for real. now they do.
i don’t understand why the russians don’t go in full force and raze all of ukraine to the ground declare war on those bloody nazis kill them all… if the russians don’t do that they will always have problems with them.
thats because you are totally misinformed by you boss.
seemes you are kept away from all sober facts from ther rest of the world. we of course all are liars.
i see it every day. fx the nazis has elected a jew as predident. how comes?
and in april russian has election with only one candidate. how comes. solomon was there or what.
picture this, you have nazis, but use a jewish puppet so you can day you’re not nazis for western media consumption. the clown in kiev has no say. he is disposable anytime they feel like it. also a reminder that many jews were used by nazis, and some prominent nazis were jewish. some of the worst nazi sympathetic persons were jewish. if you recall several months ago i published a comment with a list of jewish nazi members. explain this? can’t because you lack the ability to use logic.
jewish mafia like meyer lansky used italian mafia for enforcers long ago. same thing in ukraine now with nuland jewish mafia and 25 years ago albright jewish mafia used albanian mafia to take over kosovo.
same thing with iran in 1953. us and uk used iranian mafia to overthrow democratically elected president and control population with shah’s cia trained savak secret torture police. all roads of chaos always lead to washington and london.
how come jewish neocons tricked ukra nazis to die for them huh?. how come jewish kolomoisky paid azov nazis to kill donbass civilians and take over companies by gun for him and protect his turf, huh?
jens thinks with nose snot because brains leaked out long ago.
see. they learn from russia too.
russia learns from us and nato but even russia won’t stoop that low if it can help it.
happy new year.
ukraine welcoming new year with a bang
zelensky thanks russia for new year fireworks because ukra budget very tight and can’t afford this year, or next even.
you know many us, british and other nato military “advisors” were killed in yesterday’s massive russian missile attack on ukraine. this is their cowardly revenge strike….take the gloves off and target us-british bases and military personnel everywhere!!!!
i’ll light a pig fat candle for them.
russia needs to drop a dozen of atbip in kiev just to make things clear!
yes, hit us nato bases.
give some old sowjet anti ship missiles to the huthis and anti air systems to hezbolah.
ukraine is dead man walking
sf the whole world knows who the real nazis are, the government army and state information bodies like sf parrots are the real nazis, russia =nazis, putin=hitler
old story very stale. need new routine
real nazis are banderites with ss tattoos and 1488 painted on trucks.
how come zaluzhny wears bracelet with little swastika on it, huh?
ur stupid routine not fooling anyone
how come moscow not shell downtown kiev with cluster bombs?
biden says they’re cluster bombs of freedom, like freedom fries and nuland cookies.
so why didn’t putin reduce kiev to rubble; with legal weapons; as he now has justifications?
every time a murder escapes personal responsibility, they are emboldened to more.
excellent eh
