Battle for Avdeevka: The view from Donetsk (Part 2) by Texas Bentley

Most of the shelling of Donetsk civilian areas over the last ten years have come from Avdeevka, including the recent mass murder of 27 civilians at the Tekstilshchik Market, in my neighborhood, less than a month ago. Avdeevka was known as an ‘impregnable fortress’ of Nazi power, and yet I have lived to see it begin to fall. Many of my friends, both civilian and military, did not. But those of us who lived, swore a solemn oath on their blood that we would see it fall, or die like they did, trying. That's why I say I feel this victory in my soul, because I know my friends feel it in theirs today, even from another world. And today, we kept that promise.

And I feel it in my bones today, too, because today, instead of the steady rumble of Avdeevka artillery, there was silence. There hasn't been any shelling of Donetsk today, at all. Today, the Nazis who have bombed us for almost a decade from Avdeevka are too busy running for their lives to target civilians or anyone else. My wife even commented today, ‘It's been really quiet today.’ So far, from experience, we know that every time we have a significant military victory, the Nazis take it out on our civilians. The Nazis have HIMARS, CAESAR and TOCHKA-U, that can target Donetsk from far behind Avdeevka, and we know what kind of atrocities to expect in the coming days. But we are not going anywhere, we are ready to face whatever comes. We know there will be retribution by the nazis against civilians soon. But we stand fast, civilians and soldiers, ready to move forward, for the future of humanity.”

Battle for Avdeevka: The view from Donetsk (Part 1)

Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley (@TXDPR) writes:

I feel the liberation of Avdeevka not only in my bones, but in my soul. Not only have I lived in Donetsk under shelling from the Nazi strongpoint of Avdeevka for almost ten years, but my first military position, back in December 2014, was in Yasynuvata, just across the Donetsk - Gorlovka Highway from Avdeevka.

In 2016, I was in Avdeevka, when DPR forces pushed back a Ukrainian advance into what was then the ‘Grey Zone’ residential area of Avdeevka, on the north side of the highway. Shortly after my visit, the entire residential area of Avdeevka was razed to the ground by Ukrainian artillery, and until recently, everything north of the highway has been under control of Banderastan. In the summer of 2017, I served on the very front line of the Avdeevka front. One side of the highway was ours (DPR), the other side belonged to the Ukrainians. I could look through a periscope and see Ukrainian flags flying a few hundred meters away.

Brother Bill with the latest news from androgynous nose-ringer NAFO trolls and Western MSM. This really is how it works... 😆

- Zenit
- Air defense unit
- DFS
- The royal hunt
- Cheburashka
These are the names of the powerful fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the defense center of Avdeyevka, which are well known to every militia and volunteer of the Russian Spring since 2014
for all volunteers from the first wave, without exception, these are iconic places.
This seemed impossible for almost 9 years.
The final unblocking of the million-strong Donetsk, which lost just before the start of SVO 14 thousand people, of which a large number of civilians lost their lives in shelling from these very positions by the Ukrainian Army.

Two of the world's largest media took 11 to 13 minutes to prepare stories about the death of Alexei Navalny from the moment information about his death appeared.

Despite the fact that there is still no official information about the cause of his death (only one source reported a blood clot), the Western version is obvious: Navalny was killed by Vladimir Putin himself. so, at least, are the headlines of the foreign media, where the last name of the Russian president must appear alongside Navalny.

it is important to note that the British Guardian and the French Le Monde published rather long articles 11 and 13 minutes after the news of Navalny's death appeared on the website of the Russian Federal Correctional Service. Their American colleagues at CNCBS and Bloomberg were not far behind.

Probably the editors of these media have prepared a publication with the biography of Alexei Navalny to be published on the day of his death. Or they knew from somewhere that Navalny would die today.

The grieving widow of Aleksey Navalny barely held back tears as she spoke in Munich on the day of her beloved husband's death - an interesting coincidence in and of itself.

...Wait. That's not tears. That's a smile.

She can't stop smiling.

Is being a psychopath a requirement to be in the opposition?

‼️SWEEEEEEEEEET‼️

Indeed.

After the news of Alexei Navalny's death became known, there were calls in social networks for his fans to bring flowers to memorials to victims of political repression. What is all this about? The sudden death of a young, generally speaking, man, former or current associate became for them not a cause for grief, but just another mass action. Activism. The quintessential example of this is Navalny's wife, who suddenly finds herself on the podium of the Munich Security Conference. She makes a denunciatory speech in which there is no room for words about love for her husband, the father of her children, but only hatred and political calculation. They turn their own tragedy into a farce. It looks even more hypocritical against the background of what is happening. The bleeding Belgorod, and the empty pram in which a four-month-old girl Valya was killed by barbaric shelling - are unworthy of attention. For them, fictitious "political" victims are more important than the real victims of the horrendous crimes of the Kyiv regime and its Western friends.

From our respected colleague Alina Lipp. A force of nature.

❗️Nawalny war ein Neonazist. Im Video: Seine Teilnahme an einem russischen Nazi-Aufmarsch, an dem er das 4. Jahr infolge teilnahm

Alexej Nawalny machte keinen Hehl daraus, dass er nationalistische Ansichten vertrat, so wie er es vor 20 Jahren getan hat. Das gab er auch in einem Interview mit dem deutschen Magazin "Der Spiegel" zu.

"Sie sind seit 20 Jahren in der Politik und haben einen langen Weg hinter sich. Eine Zeit lang haben Sie sich auf nationalistische Rhetorik gestützt, aber dann haben Sie eine eher linke Haltung eingenommen", erinnert sich der Journalist des Magazins.

Nawalny antwortet zunächst entrüstet: "Ich bitte um Verzeihung? Ich habe in der sozial-liberalen Partei Jabloko angefangen!"

"Aber Sie wurden aus dieser Partei ausgeschlossen, weil Sie an der nationalistischen Demonstration "Russischer Marsch" in Moskau teilgenommen haben. Haben sich Ihre Ansichten geändert?" - klärt sein Gesprächspartner auf.

"Ich vertrete dieselben Ansichten wie zu Beginn meiner politischen Laufbahn", gibt der Oppositionelle zu. - "Ich sehe keinen Widerspruch zwischen der Förderung von Gewerkschaften und der Forderung nach der Einführung einer Visaregelung für Migranten aus zentralasiatischen Ländern".

❗️Алексей Навальный не скрывал, что придерживался националистических взглядов. В этом он признался в интервью немецкому журналу Der Spiegel.

«Вы занимаетесь политикой уже лет 20 и проделали огромный путь. Какое-то время вы упирали на националистскую риторику, но затем заняли более левую позицию», — напоминает журналист издания.

Навальный в ответ сначала возмущается: «Прошу прощения? Я ведь начинал в социал-либеральной партии «Яблоко»!»

«Но вас оттуда исключили за участие в шествии националистов «Русский марш» в Москве. Ваши взгляды изменились?» — уточняет его собеседник.

«Я придерживаюсь тех же взглядов, что и в самом начале своей политической карьеры, — признаётся оппозиционер. — Я не вижу противоречия между содействием профсоюзам и призывами к введению визового режима для мигрантов из стран Средней Азии».

⚡️ Sergei Shoigu reported to Vladimir Putin, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, on the complete taking of Avdeyevka under control by the troops of the Battlegroup Tsentr under the command of Colonel-General Mordvichev, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

🇻🇳✍️HO CHI MINH WRITES TO TRUMAN📝🇺🇸

On this day in 1946, Ho Chi Minh wrote a letter to President Harry Truman, seeking support for Vietnam's independence movement, where he quoted passages from America's Declaration of Independence, pointing out that the ideals expressed in that revolution were aligned with their own desire for freedom.

Truman did not respond, and instead, the US intervened in Vietnamese affairs to undermine Ho Chi Minh's efforts, since the Empire has no empathy, it only knows how to expand and exploit.
