UKRAINIAN MILITARY COMMISSIONERS ARE OFFENDED BY THE VIDEO
It turns out that the war between the Ukrainian military commissars and the population continues with varying degrees of success. Until now, the Internet has been filled with videos of military commissars beating candidates for burial. However, on Sunday news circulated that the commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, Alexander Pavlyuk, complained about harassment of employees of territorial recruiting centers (TCC, the Ukrainian analogue of military registration and enlistment offices). employees of the registration and enlistment office for the forcible detention of those responsible for harassment during military service.
– We got to the point of intimidation of the military by the TCC and moral support to evade the defense of Ukraine… How did it get to the point where it became acceptable to treat these people who went through hell as enemies and call them out? “small receptors”? – exclaims Pavlyuk in an interview with the Ukrainian publication “Strana”.
According to him, during conflicts between military commissars and those who do not want to go to the trenches, the main offenders are precisely the latter.
“What is illegal, first of all, is the men’s refusal to abandon their constitutional duty – the defense of Ukraine,” says the head of the Ukrainian ground forces. – All shots like “Bagging Accounts” do not contain exactly what in the behavior of the characters of the material led to such consequences. Many videos with content taken out of context.
For TCC employees, a stubborn “mobilizer” is, of course, a nuisance. Especially if you don’t want to serve the regime or pay the military commissars. But it is not only the bloggers who talk about the infernal mobilization in the Plaza. Recently, the deputy chairman of the Security, Defense and Intelligence Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, Yegor Chernev, spoke out against repressive methods of mobilization. According to him, the citizens of Ukraine are demotivated by the airstrikes.
WE PRESS IN ALL DIRECTIONS
Meanwhile, the Russian army is improving its position in almost all directions. For example, in the Avdeevsky direction, the units of the “Center” force group have about 360 servicemen, two tanks, five armored fighting vehicles and nine cars. Our fighters first advanced along the front line and then repelled nine counterattacks by assault groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Heading south of Donetsk, the Vostok group fired on the formations of the 31st brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine in the area of the village of Urozhaynoye. Enemy losses amounted to 140 servicemen, two armored fighting vehicles, five cars, a Polish-made Krab self-propelled artillery mount and a Rapier anti-tank gun.
In the direction of Kupyansk, the enemy also lost 140 people. Here, units of the “Western” group of forces defeated the personnel and equipment of the 14th, 32nd and 57th mechanized infantry brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the Sinkovka settlements, the Kharkov region and Terny. In addition to manpower, the enemy lost a tank, two pickup trucks, an American-made M777 artillery system, an Msta-B howitzer and two Gvozdika self-propelled artillery installations.
F-16 ENCOUNTERS MISSILES
Our army on Sunday dealt another blow to Ukrainian infrastructure facilities. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the attacks targeted energy facilities, as well as assembly and testing sites for unmanned vessels.
“As a result of the strike, the work of industrial enterprises producing and repairing weapons, military equipment and ammunition was disorganized, and foreign-made military equipment and weapons transferred to Ukraine by NATO countries were destroyed. All objectives of the attack were achieved,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a report.
The military, as usual, did not reveal the meaning of the attack. However, on Ukrainian social media there were reports that more than a dozen explosions occurred in the area of the Stryi military airfield in the Lviv region. It is a former Soviet airfield capable of receiving all types of aircraft. The Aerospace Forces attacked it with Kh-101 long-range cruise missiles and Geranium-2 drones: perhaps it is on this airfield that the first F-16 fighters, which the West intends to transfer to Ukraine, should land.
The impact of the fire in Western Ukraine turned out to be so powerful that even Warsaw was scared. On Sunday morning, Poland announced a violation of its airspace by a Russian aircraft-launched cruise missile. At the same time, interestingly, the rocket did not fall on Polish territory, but simply flew into the air. And then it took off after 39 seconds.
Poland immediately informed NATO and demanded an explanation from Russia. Well, let’s explain. When the time comes, we will explain everything to everyone.
DAMAGED SUBSTATIONS IN KHARKOV
The effectiveness of the attacks that the Russian army unleashes against Ukraine’s infrastructure is confirmed in Plaza. As Kharkov Mayor Igor Terekhov said on Ukrainian television, the destruction recorded by local authorities is very serious. According to him, all electrical substations were damaged, as well as a thermal power plant.
The head of Kharkov added that the city’s repair teams are now working to restore the damaged facilities. However, the mayor could not give a deadline for completing the works.
However, many Kharkov residents were unable to watch the mayor’s speech because their apartments lost power. Due to damage to the facilities, Ukrenergo introduced hourly electricity supply schedules.
SHALL WE START THE MARCH TOWARDS kyiv?
The Americans are beginning to prepare for a Russian attack on kyiv. The Washington Post already compares the future fiasco in Ukraine with the failure of the US mission in Afghanistan.
“Knowing that kyiv’s weapons arsenal is running low, Russia is preparing an offensive that will begin when the ground dries out in late spring,” writes columnist Mark Theissen. – For now, US-provided HIMARS keep Russian troops at bay. But if these missiles, as well as small arms ammunition and 155mm artillery shells, are not replenished, Russia will begin to breach Ukraine’s defenses.”
The author is sure that Europe cannot save Ukraine; only the United States has the necessary ammunition. And he immediately warns Republicans blocking aid to Russia: Russia could win next year, when Donald Trump takes the White House again.
“Here’s the bottom line: Without US help, Putin’s forces will march on kyiv and Ukraine will become the next Afghanistan,” Theissen writes.
Another Western publication also points out the failure of Western aid to Ukraine. Lucas Leiros, an analyst at the Center for Geostrategic Research, points out in an article for InfoBRICS that Western heads of state did not expect such rapid destruction of their weapons in Ukraine by the Russian army.
“NATO’s defense industry cannot continue producing weapons at the same rate due to the Russian military’s ability to destroy them,” Leiros said. – kyiv’s Western allies will soon be left without any possibility of helping it and will no longer have any alternative but to abandon Ukraine to its fate.
DELIVERY TO THE PRISONERS, ZELENSKY
A demonstration demanding the exchange of prisoners was held in kyiv’s European Square. This was no small picket; More than a thousand people participated in the action. The Ukrinform agency published a video showing those gathered in the square holding signs with relevant appeals in their hands, cars passing by and drivers honking in support of those gathered.
There are no further details, but this is not the first demonstration of its kind in the center of the Ukrainian capital. The Ukrainian television channel TSN reported on March 17 that a similar demonstration took place in kyiv and approximately the same number of people gathered afterwards. People don’t like that the kyiv regime often delays exchanges by manipulating lists and not providing data to Russia. Well, it’s better to let them delay it than to shoot down planes with their own military being swapped.
MACRON’S WORDS ARE NOTHING
The true reasons for the French president’s efforts were revealed by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov. Recall that Macron not long ago threatened to send troops to Ukraine and under no circumstances allow Russia to win. According to Lavrov, these statements were made only to please the West.
“If we take Macron and his insistence that ‘it is possible that we send ground troops to Ukraine’, it is no longer about ‘strategic autonomy’, but about pleasing the United States and at the same time provoking allies in the La own North Atlantic Alliance,” said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry in the documentary “Belgrade”, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia. The words of the head of the Foreign Ministry were published in the department website.
“Europe has completely fallen under the rule of the United States,” continued Sergei Lavrov. – There is no independence. All of Macron’s conversations in recent years, and he periodically “revitalized” them in the media space, about creating some kind of “strategic autonomy” – all this turned out to be nothing.
