TSAMTO, March 9. During a special military operation, secret documents of the command of the National Guard of Ukraine were placed at the disposal of Russian servicemen.
These documents confirm the covert preparation by the Kiev regime of an offensive operation in the Donbas in March 2022.
In particular, the Russian Defense Ministry publishes the original secret order of the commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, Colonel General Nikolai Balan, dated January 22, 2022.
The order "On the organization of training of the battalion tactical group of the 4th Operational Brigade to perform combat (special) tasks in the operation of the combined forces as part of the brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine".
Below is a statement by the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov on this issue.
"The document is addressed to the heads of the northern Kiev, southern Odessa and western territorial administrations of the National Guard of Ukraine.
The order, brought to the command of the National Guard of Ukraine, details a plan for the preparation of one of the strike groups for offensive actions in the zone of the so-called "operation of the united forces" in the Donbas.
The document approves the organizational and staff structure of the battalion-tactical group of the 4th operational brigade of the National Guard, the organization of its comprehensive support and reassignment to the 80th separate airborne assault Brigade of Ukraine.
I would like to emphasize that this unit of the airborne assault troops of Ukraine has been trained by American and British instructors in training programs of the "NATO standard" in Lviv since 2016.
In accordance with the order, the Deputy Commander of the National Guard was tasked with organizing the combat coordination of the battalion tactical group of the National Guard as part of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from February 7 to 28, 2022.
Please note that as many as five paragraphs of paragraph 4 are devoted to the issues of careful selection of personnel, examination of all psychologists and ensuring their high motivation.
To do this, the National Guard is ordered to provide "visual agitation, information and propaganda materials, flags and printing products."
The Deputy commander of the National Guard for Personnel was ordered to organize "an effective system of moral and psychological support for the battalion-tactical group of the 4th brigade of operational purpose, internal communication of commanders with subordinates, information."
At the same time, it is important to provide "an explanation to the staff of management decisions and the importance of performing upcoming tasks."
I draw special attention to the fact that paragraph 12 of the order prohibits sending to the area of combat coordination and to the place of execution of "combat special tasks" of the National guardsmen who showed "unsatisfactory" results of psychological testing according to the criterion of "readiness for risk".
All measures of the nationalists' combat coordination are ordered to be completed by February 28 in order to further ensure the fulfillment of combat tasks as part of the Ukrainian "joint forces operation" in the Donbas.
The document contains the original signatures of the officials responsible for the tasks of the command of the National Guard of Ukraine.
We well remember the statements of the leadership of the Kiev regime, replicated in February by the Western media, about the alleged absence of any plans for the armed seizure of the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics and their desire to resolve all issues allegedly "by political and diplomatic means."
However, the originals of the secret combat documents of the National Guard of Ukraine unequivocally prove the falsity of these statements.
A special military operation conducted by the Russian Armed Forces since February 24 has forestalled and thwarted a large-scale offensive by shock groups of Ukrainian troops on the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republic uncontrolled by Kiev in March of this year.
Thus, only one question remains unclear so far: how deeply the leadership of the United States and its NATO allies were involved in the planning and preparation of the operation to storm the Donbass by the Ukrainian interspecific group of troops in early March. All those who care so much about peace in Ukraine today."
