Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

A pretty good Russian analyst I follow, Gennady M, presents convincing arguments that the war in Ukraine may expand to other countries:

- The US does not want to lose face with a defeat of Ukraine and therefore tries to create potential new battlefields for Russia, especially in Transnistria (Moldova) and possibly even in the Baltics or Poland. However, he thinks that the threat of nuclear weapons will prevent a large conventional war in the rest of Europe.

- He points out that the blockade of Transnistria by Moldova started in fall when it became clear that the Ukrainian offensive had failed. Also, 183 billion euros of EU subsidies for Poland have just been unfrozen, which may indicate the preparation of Poland for a conflict.

- The EU parliament just adopted a resolution on Feb 29 that one of the goals of the EU is the dismemberment of Russia into several states, which is another provocation to possibly "lure" Russia into a direct war.

- He thinks that the new Ukrainian commander may try a different tactic in May or in the summer of sending pretty much the whole army towards cutting off Crimea in one big attack. He expects it to fail, resulting in peace negotiations.

 
Minus three Patriots at once is a good result.
Three MIM-104 Patriot installations were destroyed in the vicinity of Pokrovsk at once
As part of the active hostilities, a complex operation was carried out tonight to defeat one of the most advanced and effective air defense systems — the MIM-104 Patriot. The task required high qualifications and careful preparation, given the maneuverability and ability of the Patriot system to quickly change its location in accordance with defensive strategy and tactics. Such data is provided by the Telegram channel "Donbass Partisan".

The event unfolded in the evening, when a Russian reconnaissance drone detected the Patriot air defense system position area in the vicinity of Pokrovsk (formerly Krasnoarmeysk). Thanks to the successful reconnaissance, it was decided to launch a combined strike against the identified target, which was adjusted and monitored using UAVs.

The attack was carried out by ballistic missiles at specified coordinates. As a result of the precision strike, three Patriot air defense missile launchers, two escort vehicles, a tanker were destroyed, and the AN/MPQ-53 radar may have been damaged, indicating serious losses to the air defense system.

Additionally, after receiving confirmation of the successful defeat of the main complex, a temporary accommodation facility located on the territory of the Druzhba agrofirm in the village of Udachnoye was struck.

The poor Zaluzhny, he turns out to be unfit for service. I wonder how he will be fit to work as an ambassador, although the Ukropian ambassador to Britain has nothing much to do but just be.
Ex-commander—in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny was declared unfit for military service, - sources

Former Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny was declared unfit for military service last winter according to the results of a military medical commission.

This is reported by the Ukrainian edition of the Mirror of the Week (ZN) with reference to sources. At that time, Zaluzhny still held the position of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army.

"The ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny, passed the Komsomol in winter (Viiskovo-Likarska komisiya, ukr.), where he was declared unfit for military service. Also in February, he wrote a report on his discharge from military service," writes ZN.

Recall that in May 2023, the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine disappeared from public space for several weeks. Then the media wrote that he was wounded and concussed in a combat zone in the Kherson region.

According to the publication, after being dismissed from the post of Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny was placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In the military department and the office of President Zelensky, he was not offered a position "according to the level of experience and training," after which he decided to resign from the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On March 7, it became known that the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was appointed Ambassador of Ukraine to Britain.

Hello to Macron. If this dick went to Ukropia voluntarily, than others, in accordance with Macron's desire, will go there on orders, but the ending for many of them will not differ from this.
The leader of the French mercenaries Cesar Ozhar was killed near Avdiivka
In a recent publication of the Telegram channel "Military Observer", information appeared about a significant event in the Avdiivka direction related to the fighting in the region. It is reported that Cesar Ozharom, who is described as a leader of French neo-Nazis and a mercenary involved in the fighting, has been eliminated. The details of the operation that led to its liquidation are not disclosed.

This news draws attention to the issue of the participation of foreign fighters in the conflict. Recently, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, said that citizens from 50 countries of the world are fighting on the side of the Ukrainian armed forces. However, so far no state has officially confirmed the participation of its citizens as mercenaries on the side of the Ukrainian army.

The context of the participation of foreign forces in the Ukrainian conflict is complemented by a transcript of a recent conversation between German officers, which mentions the presence of American and British military forces in Ukraine. This statement introduces additional uncertainty into the understanding of the international dynamics and the composition of the parties to the conflict.

I have already written about the loss of three Patriots. Now Ukrainians are puzzling over how this happened. Well, let them break it.
In two weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 3 out of 5 groups of nomadic air defense systems near the front line
The Ukrainian military is analyzing the reasons why the Russian Armed Forces were able to accurately calculate the locations and routes of groups of mobile air defense systems (air defense) deployed closer to the front line to combat Russian aircraft. This is reported by the Ukrainian media, citing sources in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

In the last two weeks, Kiev has faced the loss of three of the five mobile air defense groups involved in repelling attacks by Russian aircraft actively using aerial bombs against Ukrainian positions. The destroyed groups were equipped with Patriot anti-aircraft missile launchers and multifunctional radars, which is a significant loss for the Armed Forces, especially given the difficulty of making up for the losses of trained crews, despite the possibility of replacing equipment due to the support of Western allies.

It is indicated that all the affected complexes were destroyed along with the personnel, which emphasizes the high accuracy and effectiveness of the actions of the Russian side. At the moment, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is working to analyze what happened in order to identify methods by which the Russian military were able to calculate the routes of movement of Ukrainian air defenses.

The French have gone straight for something, they can't calm down in any way. Pay attention to who is singing along with them in the front rows. These are, of course, great and terrible Lithuanian warriors. That some remembered Napoleon, that others remembered an even earlier Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which was half Russian, by the way.
In the West, they proposed to establish "red lines" for Russia
In response to the current international situation and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, France has proposed to create an alliance of countries ready to potentially send their military to Ukraine. According to Politico, this initiative was discussed at a meeting of French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet with colleagues from the Baltic countries and Ukraine in Lithuania.

Sejourney stressed that Western countries should decide on their own how to provide assistance to Kiev, and that Russia has no right to "point out" or "set red lines" in this matter. He mentioned the possibility of demining territories as one of the options for the presence of the Western military, while noting that this does not imply the conduct of hostilities.

"It is not Russia that will tell us how we should help Ukrainians in the coming months or years. She should not set the red lines," Sejourney said.

Such a statement may well be considered a challenge to Russia, although there have been no official comments on this issue so far.

At the moment, Ukraine has requested artillery ammunition from Western countries, but no request has been received to send troops. Nevertheless, Sejourney said that "nothing is ruled out for the coming months," pointing to a possible change in the situation.

France's proposal found support among the Baltic states, whose foreign ministers praised Paris' "out-of-the-box thinking." Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis expressed the opinion that it is necessary to draw "red lines" for Russia, and not for themselves.

Experts believe that the Russian reaction to such attacks may be quite harsh.

На Западе предложили установить "красные линии" для России

An incredible story from near Avdiivka. Our fighter with a severe wound was left alone in a position in Lastochkino. I kept one cartridge for myself. Suddenly, a AFU soldier from Nikolaev, mobilized by force, 25 years old, surrendered to him. Until our people returned, he helped a wounded Russian soldier to survive - bandaged wounds, carried water from puddles for 3 days.
Click to expand...
The story is really almost incredible in the existing realities. The Ukrainian soldier did not kill the wounded Russian soldier, did not leave, but began to help him survive. It should be borne in mind that many Ukrainians who surrendered say that they were afraid to surrender, because they have information spreading that Russians are merciless towards prisoners. They torture, kill, and bully. Videos with captured Ukrainians appear every day and on many of them Ukrainians, especially those who have already passed the initial events (interrogations, etc., which of course cannot be pleasant) and got into the camp, talk about their fate with happy faces as luck. This is good luck to get out of mortal danger alive, to receive adequate medical care and acceptable conditions of detention.
In the video, a Russian soldier tells the details of what happened, saying that when they were evacuated, he tried to bring the details to his commanders so that, as he said, he would "not be treated harshly." At parting, the Russian thanked the Ukrainian and they shook hands. The wife of the Russian fighter also thanks the Ukrainian for saving her husband and says that Russians and Ukrainians are brothers no matter what, and even now, being enemies on the battlefield, there are still many good people among Ukrainians.
I don't wish anything like what happened to these people on anyone. I don't want any fighting, no injuries, no captivity, but still I want more manifestations of this kind.

Про потерю трех Патриотов я уже писал. Теперь украинцы ломают голову, как это произошло. Ну пусть ломают.
Французы чего то прямо разошлись, никак не могут угомониться. Обратите внимание кто им подпевает в первых рядах. Это конечно же великие и страшные воины-литовцы. Что одни вспомнили про Наполеона, что другие вспомнили еще более раннее Великое Литовское Княжество, которое было наполовину русским, кстати.
История действительно практически невероятная в существующих реалиях. Украинский солдат не убил раненого российского солдата, не ушел, а стал ему помогать выжить. Надо иметь в виду, что многие украинцы, сдавшиеся в плен, говорят о том, что им было страшно сдаваться, потому что у них раcпространяется информация, что русские беспощадно относятся к пленным. Пытают, убивают, издеваются. Видео с пленными украинцами появляются каждый день и на многих из них украинцы, особенно те, кто уже прошел первичные мероприятия (допросы и пр., что конечно же не может быть приятным) и попал в лагерь, со счастливыми лицами говорят о своей судьбе, как об удаче. Удаче выбраться живым из смертельной опасности, получить адекватную медицинскую помощь и приемлемые условия содержания.
На видео российский солдат рассказывает подробности произошедшего, говорит, что когда их эвакуировали он постарался довести до своих командиров подробности, чтобы, как он сказал, с ним "не обращались жестко". На прощание русский поблагодарил украинца и они пожали друг другу руки. Жена российского бойца тоже благодарит украинца за спасение ее мужа и говорит, что русские и украинцы не смотря ни на что братья и даже сейчас, являясь врагами на поле боя, среди украинцев по прежнему много хороших людей.
Я никому не желаю такого, как случилось с этими людьми. Не желаю ни боев, ни ранений, ни плена, но все же хочется побольше проявлений такого рода.
 
It seems a little strange to me that such things reach Musk at all. Well, if they reach, then you can be outraged.
Something else is more interesting for me. Pay attention to the last phrase of this article and then to the next article and you will clearly see the prospects of this hero. In Ukraine, all paths lead (or will soon lead) to one final one way or another.
The Mask was outraged by the violent mobilization in Ukraine
American entrepreneur Elon Musk was outraged by the violent methods of mobilization that are taking place in Ukraine. Thus, he reacted on the social network X to a video with the detention of 34 Ukrainian men of military age who attempted to illegally enter Romania and avoid conscription.

"How many have already died in vain over the past year. How many more have to die?" Musk replied in a comment on the video.

The published footage also shows how the evaders are dragged out of the minibus and forced to lie on the ground on top of each other with their hands behind their heads. In addition, men are beaten, and there are many obscene words addressed to them.

Recall that the detention of Ukrainian draft dodgers on the border with Romania occurred in the media: on the border of Ukraine with Romania, a bus with 34 draft dodgers was detained and 10 thousand euros were paid for leaving the country on March 8. According to local media, in order to get to another country, the men paid 10 thousand euros each. In addition to the evaders themselves, the organizer-driver was also detained, who now faces from three to five years.

Ukraine is preparing a large-scale mobilization of prisoners
The Ukrainian authorities are actively working on the development of a draft law that will allow the mobilization of prisoners and convicts to participate in hostilities. This was stated by the Minister of Justice of the country Denis Malyuska. According to him, it is expected that the document will be registered next week, and in the near future a vote will be held in the Verkhovna Rada in the first and second readings. The Minister expressed confidence that the approval process of the bill will be completed by the spring of this year.

Malyuska stressed that the issue of mobilizing convicts met with support among members of parliament, pointing out the absence of opponents of this initiative. However, according to the Minister's statements, persons who committed crimes during their service or against state security, as well as those who violated military discipline, will not be mobilized.

The Minister of Justice also noted that not all military commanders are ready to accept convicts and prisoners into their units. In this regard, the possibility of forming separate detachments from mobilized convicts is being considered.

Украина готовит масштабную мобилизацию заключённых

Для меня несколько странным выглядит, что до Маска вообще такие вещи доходят. Ну а раз они доходят, то можно и возмутиться. Для меня интереснее другое. Обратите внимание на последнюю фразу данной статьи и за этим на следующую статью и вы ясно увидите перспективы данного героя. На Украине все пути так или иначе ведут (или скоро будут вести) к одному финалу.
 
Pope Francis says Ukraine should surrender urging Zelensky to "Show courage of the White Flag" according to the Gateway Pundit website. "The Pontiff made the remarks during an interview with Swiss broadcaster RSI, a transcript of which was obtained by Reuters, amid growing reports Ukranian resolve is starting to weaken as the war enters its third year."

I thought the Pope was pretty much under Globalist control, so why this statement?

I'll try to explain. When I wrote that it was strange for me, it should be taken literally. I'm not selling anything, especially massively, Musk is selling. I don't give a damn about the conjuncture, about any public opinion, Musk can't treat it that way. Until the fall of 2022, I don't remember Musk's public statements about Crimea, Donbass, and Ukraine. Perhaps they were, I admit that I do not closely follow the activities of Musk, but if there were any of his speeches, they were strictly in accordance with the Western mainstream. I draw this conclusion from the attitude of Bandera ukrops to the Musk. Exactly until the autumn of 2022, ukrops considered Musk their best friend, and only after his statement they began to "roll a barrel on him." This means that nothing "reached" Musk until 2022, and after that it began to "reach". What has changed? Has he seen the light? Has some kind of conscience broken through? Perhaps I do not undertake to unequivocally deny him this, but in my opinion everything is much more banal - the conjuncture has changed. And for him, in his place, to keep an eye on such things, as change conjuncture, and react accordingly is probably normal, but for me it's strange.

Постараюсь объяснить. Когда я написал, что для меня странно, это надо понимать буквально. Я не продаю ничего, тем более массово, Маск продает. Мне совершенно плевать на текущую конъюнктуру, на какие то общественные мнения, Маск не может так относиться к этому. До осени 2022 года я что то не припомню публичных заявлений Маска по поводу Крыма, Донбасса, Украины. Возможно они и были, я признаюсь, что не пристально слежу за деятельностью Маска, но если и были какие то его выступления, то они были строго в соответствии с западным мейнстримом. Я делаю такой вывод из отношения к Маску со стороны бандеровских укропов. Ровно до осени 2022 укропы считали Маска лучшим другом и только после его заявления они стали "катить на него бочку". Значит до 2022 года до Маска ничего "не доходило", а после стало "доходить". Что же изменилось? Он прозрел? Какая то совесть прорезалась? Возможно, я не берусь однозначно отказывать ему в этом, но по моему все гораздо банальнее- изменилась конъюнктура. И для него на его месте следить за такими вещами и реагировать соответствующим образом наверное нормально, а для меня это странно.
 
The "shaking up" from the sleep of the leadership of the Russian Navy continues. First, they changed the leadership of the Black Sea Fleet, now they are changing the leadership of the entire Russian Navy. Maybe the new leadership will take effective steps towards stopping the loss of ships from a primitive threat (I mean unmanned boats of the AFU Navy).
The commander of the Northern Fleet has been appointed acting Commander-in-Chief of the Navy

Hero of Russia Admiral Alexander Moiseev has been appointed acting Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy. It is expected that in the near future he may get rid of the acting console.

The personnel decision regarding the leadership of the Fontanka Navy became known on March 10 from its own sources. The appointment of the commander of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Moiseev, acting commander-in-chief, has already been brought to the staff of the commander-in-chief. Admiral Nikolai Evmenov is still listed on the website of the Ministry of Defense as commander—in-chief, but the Admiralty has an unequivocal opinion - he will not return to his office.

The press service of the Fontanka Navy did not comment on the issue of Evmenov's resignation, asking to send a written request to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense.

Nikolai Evmenov was appointed to the post of Commander-in-chief of the Navy in 2019. He was born in 1962 in Moscow, studied in Leningrad and St. Petersburg, commanded the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet, and since 2016 — the Northern Fleet. He assumed the post of commander-in-chief when the Navy was deprived of its fleets by the reform of Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, remaining essentially only a body with representative functions, whose tasks included shipbuilding. Since December 2023, all fleets, including the Black Sea Fleet, have been transferred back to the control of the commander-in-chief.

Admirals Evmenov and Moiseev are the same age. Alexander Moiseev is also a submariner. A Kaliningrad citizen, most of his service is connected with the Northern Fleet. In 2011, by decree of President Medvedev, he was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for successful missile launches from a strategic submarine.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to invade the Belgorod region and were defeated (VIDEO)

The enemy decided to launch an offensive in the Belgorod region in preparation for the Russian presidential election, military commander Yevgeny Poddubny writes.

At the junction of the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred special forces units of the GUR "Artan" to the Grayvoron direction. The detachment was given armored vehicles, artillery and infantry. Five tanks, self-propelled guns, MLRS, more than 10 BMP units and pickups with heavy machine guns.

The enemy tried to disguise himself in the winter forest belts, but the scouts of the state border protection group discovered the enemy forces in a timely manner.

The group of fire damage waited for the moment when the formation of the combat order began and defeated the enemy.

5 tanks, 3 self-propelled guns, 1 MLRS, several pickups and infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed, 70 AFU fighters were eliminated and seriously wounded. Our Lancets also worked, the last frame shows the density of drones in the air. VKS Fabs also worked with UMPC. Iskander missiles hit French self-propelled guns.

The Ukrainian general called for hiding and disappeared without a trace

The Ukrainian General of Justice, the head of the Kharkov garrison, Sergei Melnik, with the call sign "Marcel", stopped posting messages on his Telegram channel after he called for hiding in a shelter on February 17 amid an air alert.

On the afternoon of February 17, the Ukrainian media reported an explosion in Kharkiv.

"Kharkiv and the region: let's go to shelter!" wrote Melnik that day.

Netizens noticed that the general, who had previously actively posted messages on his channel, did not write a word after that. Since then, there has been no mention of him in the Ukrainian press.

Melnyk was appointed head of the Kharkov garrison in August 2021.

Russian troops liberated the village of Nevelskoye in the Donetsk direction

MOSCOW, 12 Mar — RIA Novosti. Russian troops took control of the village of Nevelskoye and occupied more advantageous positions in the Donetsk direction, the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
"In the Donetsk direction, units of the "Southern" group of troops actively liberated the settlement of Nevelskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic and occupied more advantageous lines and positions," the ministry said.

It is noted that the Russian military defeated the formations of the 79th airborne assault and 81st airmobile brigades of the enemy army in the areas of Novomikhailovka in the DPR and Belogorovka in the LPR.
In just one day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 350 soldiers, two tanks, four vehicles and a self-propelled artillery installation "Gvozdika", the Defense Ministry added.
The village of Nevelskoye is located west of Donetsk.
At the end of February, Russian troops also liberated the settlements of Petrovskoye, Severnoye and Lastochkino in the Avdiivka direction.

And this is an unofficial message. So far, only rumors, but perhaps the career of the newly-made commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could be over.
Syrsky could have died after the attack on Krasnogorovka
Information is being actively discussed on Ukrainian social networks that as a result of a strike by Russian artillery and Aerospace Forces on the command post of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Krasnogorovka area, high-ranking military figures, including Commander-in-chief Alexander Syrsky, allegedly died. Confirmation of this information from official sources has not yet been received, but messages on social networks are spreading with statements about the "true truth" of this event. Such data is provided by the publication "Apral".

According to the information disseminated, General Syrsky was at the command post to conduct an inspection at the time when the Russian strike "arrived". It is claimed that he died along with his entourage, which, if true, could seriously affect the operational command of the Ukrainian troops.

The potential death of a high-ranking military leadership, in particular Alexander Syrsky, can have a noticeable impact on the morale and management structure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Despite the fact that he was not credited with special military leadership talents, his role in commanding the army and interacting with Ukraine's international partners remained important.

I would like to make a small correction. Of course, Crimea will not disappear from the list of targets of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but at the moment the emphasis is obviously on the "old" territory of Russia. Just above, we were given today's message about the drone attack. Please note that there is no Crimea. I will now give yesterday's message on the same topic. This data was not published here. The same massive attack in several regions, but not in Crimea. Many of these attacks, both yesterday and today, targeted oil refining facilities and fuel storage facilities. This is probably also a trend.
At night, Ukraine tried to attack 7 regions of Russia
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported a massive attack by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the territory of the country, which occurred this night. According to official data published by TASS, air defense systems successfully coped with the threat, destroying a total of 25 Ukrainian aircraft-type drones.

The attack affected seven Russian regions, including Kursk (11 UAVs), Belgorod (7 UAVs), Moscow (2 UAVs), Bryansk (1 UAV), Leningrad (1 UAV), Tula (1 UAV) and Oryol (2 UAVs) regions. Each of the intercepted or destroyed drones posed a potential threat to the security and infrastructure of the regions.

Particular attention is drawn to the incident in the Nizhny Novgorod region, where, according to its governor, drones attacked a fuel and energy complex facility in the Kstovskaya industrial zone. The attack led to a fire at one of the refineries.

The air defense response to this series of attacks demonstrates Russia's willingness and ability to protect its airspace from aerial threats.

Ukrainian troops are trying to break into the Belgorod and Kursk regions in armored vehicles
Social networks and a number of Russian media, including VGTRK, report attempts to break through Ukrainian formations in the Kursk and Belgorod regions. In the Belgorod region, clashes occurred in the early morning, which VGTRK reporter Andrei Rudenko described as "reconnaissance by combat." According to him, the Ukrainian side sent three combat vehicles to the southeastern border of the Grayvoronsky district, which were destroyed by Russian troops. In the Kursk region, near the village of Tetkino, an attempt was also made to break through the border, some of the attackers were destroyed, the rest retreated. According to the Baza project, two people were injured in Tetkino.

In addition, Ukrainian public media distributed a statement by the Legion of Freedom of Russia, banned and recognized as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation, about launching an attack with the aim of "liberating Russians from poverty, poverty and fear, liberating them from dictatorship." The published footage shows the movement of the military in the dark, which indicates the beginning of the attack in the early morning or at night.

The situation in these regions remains tense, fighting is underway, and information on the course of the clashes continues to be exchanged. There were no official comments from the Russian authorities at the time of writing the message.

Российские десантники без потерь отразили атаку украинской ДРГ на Курскую область

The old T-62 tank, which was much laughed at in the ukrosegment, firstly benefits by acting as an armed mine clearance machine, and secondly, in the process of these actions, it shows a phenomenal survival result. 10 drone strikes! Before that, in my memory, the best result was 5 drone hits into an attacking tank, after which the tank continued to fight.
The Russian T-62 tank survived 10 hits from enemy FPV drones
The crew of the Russian T-62 tank demonstrated outstanding skills and courage during a combat mission in the Donetsk direction, as evidenced by footage published on the Solovyov Telegram channel. The servicemen of the 20th Guards Motorized Rifle Division faced serious challenges, overcoming a mined area equipped with anti-drone screens and a special roller trawl for the neutralization of explosive devices.

Almost immediately after the start of the mission, explosions of enemy shells began to occur around the combat vehicle. However, despite the tense situation, most of the attacks proved ineffective due to the skill and reaction of the Russian tankers. In addition, the tank became a target for attacks by FPV drones, which were hit at least ten times. The footage of the operation shows how a small fire occurs, which the crew managed to quickly eliminate, preventing more serious damage to the tank.

The indomitable spirit and professionalism of the Russian tankers allowed them not only to successfully complete their combat mission, but also to return to their location without losses.

Data from prisoners is always unreliable, they need to be checked, but nevertheless there is such data.
A Ukrainian prisoner told how a CIA officer commanded a detachment of mercenaries

DONETSK, March 13 — RIA Novosti. A detachment of mercenaries in the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was commanded by a CIA officer, Ukrainian prisoner of war Yuri Vodyan told RIA Novosti.
"Going into the dining room, we saw: some new person. We were more or less used to the Americans already, we knew them by sight — and this was some kind of new person. We asked, they told us that this was a CIA officer, he was their (mercenary squad. - Ed.) the former commander, and he came to see them," he said.

Vodyan also said that he was mobilized from the Mykolaiv region in November, he served in the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He was captured at the end of January during an attempt to storm the village of Pervomaiske in the DPR.
The agency interlocutor added that the commander of the mercenaries was wounded and, after treatment, arrived at the unit for a day before leaving the combat zone. The prisoner explained that this happened at the end of 2023 at the training ground of the 59th brigade, where he was trained. He could not say where the landfill is located, because, according to him, the mobilized are not informed where they were brought. But he remembered that before the location in the combat zone, his unit was transported by trucks for about two and a half hours.
Earlier, Vodyan told RIA Novosti that his unit included mercenaries from Germany, Great Britain, Poland, the United States and Australia, each had a contract with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and some had combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Украинский пленный рассказал, как офицер ЦРУ командовал отрядом наемников

Мне бы хотелось внести небольшую поправку. Конечно Крым никуда не исчезнет из списка целей ВСУ, но на настоящий момент акцент очевидно сделан на " старую" территорию России. Только что выше нам привели сегодняшнее сообщение об атаке дронами. Обратите внимание- Крыма нет. Я сейчас приведу вчерашнее сообщение на эту же тему. Здесь эти данные не публиковали. Такая же массированная атака по нескольким регионам, но не по Крыму. Многие из этих атак, и вчерашние, и сегодняшние имели целью объекты нефтепереработки и топливные хранилища. Это видимо тоже тенденция.
Плюс вчерашняя попытка зайти на территорию Белгородской и Курской областей.
Эти попытки были отражены. Я приведу официальные данные о потерях укропов, которые говорят о серьезных усилиях.
Старенький танк Т-62, над которым очень смеялись в укросегменте, во первых приносит пользу, действуя в качестве вооруженной машины разминирования, а во вторых в процессе этих действий показывает феноменальный результат выживаемости. 10 ударов дронами! До этого на моей памяти лучшим результатом было 5 попаданий дронов в атакующий танк, после которых танк продолжал вести бой.
Данные от пленных всегда ненадежны, их надо проверять, но тем не менее есть такие данные.
