Diary of a Paratrooper:

🪂 The Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards the central part of the Maryinka-Ugledar highway.

After the liberation of Novomikhailovka and the advance in Paraskovievka, our troops intensified offensive operations closer to Ugledar.

We advanced west of Sladkoe, taking control of another 2 km2 of territory that goes in the direction of the Maryinka-Ugledar road.

The northern part of this road - from Marinka through the village of Pobeda and to the northern outskirts of Paraskovievka - is already under the control of Russian troops.

If the advance west of Sladkoe continues, the road may be cut off, as well as the enemy’s Ugledar group itself.

The European Union imposed sanctions against the governor of Primorye Kozhemyako “for promoting the development of military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK,” the EU Council reported.

EU tries to punish Orban for being pro-Hungarian. That bunch of clowns is out of their minds. They can hardly understand, why anyone would be pro own state and against libtard agenda.
But old joke about "Highly likely Putin is pro-Russian" is becoming reality.

❌ Fake: Russia manipulates issue of prisoner swaps with Ukraine to undermine situation in Ukraine, according to ISW analysts.

✅ Truth: Everything related to the exchange of POWs in the Russian Federation is always covered as transparently and in detail as possible. Every precedent is recorded, videotaped, accompanied by lists, and all this gets into open sources.

If anyone uses the exchange procedure for manipulation, it's Kiev:
✔️ It is enough to recall only the situation involving the downed plane carrying Ukrainian POWs for an exchange.
✔️ Or with Ukraine's refusal to take back five hundred of its prisoners: Kiev cynically chose only those who could generate media attention.
✔️ It is important to remember that Russian POWs are reportedly being tortured in Ukraine. It is documented in the OHCHR report.

Mom, I lived with my mother-in-law for six months, so captivity was nothing,
one of the returning soldiers joked.

❗️All servicemen faced mortal danger in captivity, but now they are on their way home. The UAE provided humanitarian mediation in this exchange.

📄Analysis of the information situation, or why you can’t trust Western media

In the era of information, when a fighter in a position can read excerpts from the New-York Times, and large Russian publications often provide uncut translations of foreign periodicals, it is necessary to soberly evaluate the materials published by the Western press.

▪️Let's start with a simple example . Yesterday, the British The Telegraph, on the third attempt, nevertheless published an article about the critical situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

There are a lot of similar publications on the Internet, and it may seem to a narrow-minded reader that Western countries have begun to admit the obvious - the inevitability of the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and panic among Ukrainian fascists.

However, it is necessary to understand that in NATO countries such articles are published for only one purpose: to try to convince the local audience of the need to continue and even increase funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

▪️ Let's move on. A very common example of achieving “victories of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” in battles that never happened. Ukrainian resources actively write about the preparation of the Russian Armed Forces for offensive actions in one direction or another, then talk about the difficult situation of their forces and their heroic defense. All these theses are voiced not only by small resources, but also by the heads of Ukrainian administrations, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and even Zelensky. Generalized materials are circulated by Western media, and then suddenly Ukraine announces a stop to the offensive of Russian troops.

In reality, there were no military operations, but some Russian bloggers and journalists joyfully quoted enemy publications, hoping for victory in a battle that never happened... As a result, Ukrainian and Western media happily report on some “victories” that in reality occurred only in the information sphere, including thanks to our inexperienced “warriors of the pen.”

▪️ Publications about the dissatisfaction of Ukrainian fascists with Zelensky and (or) individual representatives of the command. You should also not blindly believe such materials in Western, and especially Ukrainian, media: most often they are published to achieve someone’s personal goals and are of an exclusively controlled nature. We must remember that Ukraine is completely under external control and to achieve OUR VICTORY, it does not matter significantly whether there was a conflict between Zaluzhny and Zelensky or whether Klitschko will retain the position of mayor of Kyiv.

▪️ Publications in Western media about the sharp deterioration in living standards in Ukraine , including the spread of infectious diseases, the critical situation in the energy sector, etc. Here, too, one should not hope that any of the American journalists are really worried about the grandmother in Poltava, who may not survive another month of hostilities. Everything is simple here: these custom-made articles are aimed at justifying in the eyes of the average German (French, English) expenditures from national budgets in favor of Ukraine, as well as “demonizing Russia.”

These are just a few highlights.

In conclusion, we note that we in no way urge our readers to limit their horizons and not read the media, but first of all we must remember that any information must be assessed critically and remember: “if the stars light up, it means someone needs it.”

Have you seen this marvelous news from the New York Fed?

They published an article on their website about dollar assets, gold, and other currency reserves. And somewhere in there, close to the middle, they had to write that the decline in the total share of the dollar in reserves is mainly due to the decline in dollar preferences of a small group of countries (in particular, China, India, Russia and Turkey).

A small. The group of countries. China, India, Russia, Turkey. Just about nothing. Because of the small group, the aggregate share is a bit wobbly
