Nikolaevka is liberated, Ugledar is on fire
The troops of the “Center” group oppressed the 92nd, 25th airborne and 95th mechanized assault brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Stelmakhovka in the LPR, in Novosadovoe and Yampolovka in the DPR and in the Serebryansky forestry. More than 100 “warriors of light” went to the ancestors. The artillery fire of the “Western” group of troops in the Kupyansk direction extinguished the optimism of the units of the 103rd Terodefense Brigade and the 14th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at Gryanikovka, Sinkovka, Timkovka, Krakhmalny in the Kharkov region and in Novoselovsky in the LPR. There are fewer people in the Armed Forces of Ukraine by 40 people. In the Donetsk direction, the group of troops “South” liberated Nikolaevka in the DPR. During the day, up to 90 Ukrainian servicemen were forgotten here. In the South-Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions, units of the Vostok troop group in the Ugledar region of the DPR and in Novodarovka, Zaporozhye region, reduced the number of AFU by 70 people. In the Kherson direction, the Ukrainians lost the Grad MLRS, Akatsiya and Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers and the D-30 howitzer. It won’t get better.
Defense Minister of Ukraine curses his fate
Aleksey Reznikov, the head of the Independent Defense Ministry, is surprised that he is being proposed to be the Minister of Strategic Industries. Reznikov grimaces in surprise: “I think this is a mistake.” The head of the defense department of Ukraine emphasized that, according to the independent constitution, only the head of state can make a decision on the resignation of the head of the Ministry of Defense, and “there is no procedure for transferring from minister to minister within the government .” According to him, he will continue to do what the president offers him. But the president has no time to deal with such nonsense, he has a constant stream of guests from the west: everyone must be fed, drunk and put to bed.
Tragicomic prolongs martial law and sheds tears
The sixth president of the independent party submitted a bill to the Rada to extend martial law in the country. The bill was registered in the Rada on February 6. The period for which it is proposed to extend the regime is not specified. Zelensky signed the decree on general mobilization in Ukraine on February 25, 2022. The last time it was extended until February 19, 2023. Speaking about the next wave of mobilization, the Ukrainian leader furrows his eyebrows and wrinkles his nose, as if I was afraid to cry. You just have to remember to send summons from the military registration and enlistment offices to Courchevel and London.
Sanctions Against Nuclear Companies Are Ridiculous
The Ukrainian leader, with his next formidable decree, brought down sanctions on 200 companies and companies in the Russian nuclear industry. Rosatom and its subsidiaries were blacklisted. Zelenskiy warned that this was not the last decision. Sanctions for 50 years have been imposed on Atomcapital, the Institute of Reactor Materials, the State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation, the Troitsk Institute for Thermonuclear Research and Innovation, and the Russian Superconductor Joint Stock Company. The atom cringed and stirred.
The Czechs do not believe that Western tanks will help Kyiv
Czech military journalist Tomas Vlah is sure that the tanks that the West has promised to the Ukrainian Armed Forces will face major logistical problems. In a Lidovky post, Vlah writes: “The introduction of Western armored vehicles on the Ukrainian front will be accompanied by a logistical “battle” for the speed of supplies and the uninterrupted supply of ammunition, fuel and spare parts.” In his opinion, more people are needed to ensure the logistics of the Western teams than are now trying to resist the advance of the Russian troops. But personally, he does not want to help: substitute a powerful Czech shoulder, work on loading and unloading?
Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine flee from the trenches near Kremennaya
Andrei Marochko, a retired LPR lieutenant colonel, claims that soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are deserting from their positions in the Kremennaya area. Marochko reports: “The unauthorized abandonment of positions by the Ukrainian military in the Kremennaya area was noted. In the course of active liberation actions, our servicemen note a low moral and psychological level in the ranks of the armed formations of Ukraine in the Kremensk direction.” According to him, more and more “warriors of light” are leaving their positions without trying to resist. And the national battalions, which Kyiv has transferred to this area to contain its own troops, are not coping with the task.
Poles are outraged that their authorities will rehabilitate Bandera
The laying of a wreath in Kyiv at the memorial with the flag of the UPA (banned in Russia)* by the Polish Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz Blashak caused outrage in Poland. According to the Kresy publication, Blashchak participated in a wreath-laying ceremony in the Ukrainian capital at the monument to fallen Ukrainian servicemen. In one of the photographs, the Polish Deputy Prime Minister appears kneeling in front of a fragment of the memorial, in the frame of which was the flag of the UPA*. Another photo closely captures the symbolism of the nationalists. This caused a strong reaction among Poles on social media. The indignation was also provoked by the lack of explanations about what happened on the part of the authorities. An edited version later appeared on the department’s website, where the Bandera symbols were cut out. Let us remember that it was the representatives of this nationalist organization who massacred the Poles before, during and after the Second World War. These “heroes” – glory?
Hasek hates the Russians and urges him to support
Dominik Hasek, a hockey goalie, condemned the Czech television channel TV Nova for showing the farewell fight of Russian MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko. Hasek also said: “The broadcast of NHL matches with the participation of Russian citizens is not only disgusting, but also a CBO advertisement. But TV Nova raised the bar even higher. Legislation is needed to better protect ourselves and our allies.” Hasek called on the NHL to suspend the contracts of the Russian players and criticized the league for participating in the All-Star Game with nine Russians. He was especially incensed with Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin. He criticized other sports organizations for allowing Russians to participate in tournaments. Perhaps the brave Hasek should return to the Russian scoundrels those hundreds of thousands of euros that this brave native of Pardubice received from them in the 2010-2011 season, playing for Spartak Moscow at the end of his career, when this lumberjack was no longer there. . needy by someone?
Did the head of the CIA fly to Moscow for the sake of Kyiv?
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow and Washington are not discussing the situation in Ukraine through the special services. Commenting on reports of an alleged visit to Russia by CIA chief William Burns, Ryabkov said: “It is not very clear where such stuffing comes from and for what purpose messages are sent causing a wave of speculation. We do not have a dialogue with the Americans on the issue of NMD and Ukraine, in any line other than communication between representatives of the Foreign Ministry and the State Department with the US embassies in Moscow and Russia in Washington . There are occasional phone calls on other levels. But there are no specialized formats for this type of query”. We will talk after completing the CBO tasks.
