"Ukraine demands everything. I think this demand (for cluster bombs and phosphorus munitions) is a mistake... "Just because they demand something does not mean that it should be implemented," said Anton Hofreiter, head of the Bundestag Committee on European Affairs, sharply criticizing the Ukrainian side's demand for cluster bombs and phosphorus munitions for their military.

Germans revolt against arms supplies to Ukraine; about 30,000 protesters protest the "security conference" in Munich.

The German people revolted against the escalation of hostilities in Ukraine by the West. About 30,000 people protested in Munich against arms supplies to the Kiev regime and a security conference in the city. "We want peace" was the main slogan of the demonstrators at the event. According to the protesters, to stop the conflict, it is necessary to stop the endless supply of weapons.

About 20 actions are already taking place in the city, with the main one in the center of the city in Stachus Square. From there, the protesters will head to the Bayerischer Hof Hotel, where the conference is being held, to symbolically "encircle" it. Then, the leader of the opposition right-wing party, "Alternative for Germany," is scheduled to speak.

Ukraine must “prevail as a sovereign, independent state” before it can formally join NATO, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Saturday, despite Kiev already considering itself a de-facto member of the Western bloc.

“NATO’s position on membership for Ukraine is unchanged,” Stoltenberg told a panel at the Munich Security Conference. “We agreed back in 2008 that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance and that is still our position.”

“Of course, what matters now is to ensure that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent state. Because without having Ukraine as a sovereign and independent state, there is no way to discuss any kind of relationship between NATO and Ukraine in the future,” he continued, adding that this discussion would take place when the current conflict in Ukraine is resolved.

On February 16, on behalf of the fighters of the Wagner PMC and the Akhmat battalion, Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin visited Apti Alaudinov in the hospital.

Prigozhin: 
I visited our comrade in arms, brother Apti, and we agreed that Akhmat would give us more than 100 120 mm mines.

Apti: 
We will share what we have in stock, not only mine. We know that PMC Wagner fighters do everything in their power, they are real patriots, real men. Of course we understand that 100 mines is not much, but it will be our present that will go to the fireworks, which will be done by men at that place ( Prigozhin laughs) 

Prigozhin:
Is it the American enemies who were 
trying to send you to the other side of the world, or is it your own internal enemy
Who is jealous of your success? ( about the poisoning )

Apti:
The competent authorities will deal with this. A fighter friend, a patriot of Russia, came to me and gave me a sledgehammer from Wagner. Now I have a service weapon, a sledgehammer.

A Russian breakthrough into the Bakhmut region of Samolet (Aircraft) is not ruled out by a prominent Ukrainian military officer with the call sign Magyar.

But urges not to exaggerate its significance in case the enemy suddenly starts bragging about it with the presentation of photos.

"Let it not make you crazy if some sabotage group arranges what they all want so much - to somehow sneak up to our plane in Bakhmut and make such a good story there at dawn - to stretch their flag, take pictures so that the whole world shouts that the Russian army has finally, or not finally, hacked into Bakhmut and entered it. That's not saying anything. Let them approach the airplane. I won't give details, but let them approach," Magyar said in a video that was posted online.

The plane is in an area in the southwestern part of Bakhmut, at the exit towards Konstantinovka and not far from the road to Chasov Yar via Artemivske. Along with the northern Bakhmut-Slaviansk road, it is the main supply artery to the city. The area itself is so called because of the local landmark, the airplane monument.

Here is an audio recording that goes through the closed chats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to some reports, the recording was made in the 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which suffered heavy losses in the battles for Ugledar.

The author of the recording intentionally writes to the recorder, turning on another phone on the speakerphone. Its discharge may indicate either a deliberate misinformation stuffing or a conflict between junior and senior brigade commanders.
One informs a certain major that several positions have been arbitrarily abandoned by subordinate soldiers, and an entire company refuses to carry out combat orders due to low training, lack of motivation, and assistance in the form of rotation, at least. The major on that wire calls for shooting the refuseniks, starting with ten people (“they will give new ones anyway”). In general, listen and judge for yourself whether it's fake or not. Unfortunately, only Russian speakers can judge that.

update. The entry is older, but it gives you a solid picture of what kind of things Ua is doing to hold its lines.

Snow-covered liquidated AFU fighters

Judging by the video, they had been lying there for weeks and the Ukrainian commanders did not see fit to evacuate them. Most likely, relatives of these Ukrainians are now being told that "they are missing".
