๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿคก American troops will be on the front line of the fight against Russia without further assistance to Ukraine.

US Senator Chris Coons believes that a war with Russia will begin in the next 3-5 years.

Calling on the US House of Representatives to support a new $95 billion aid package that includes funds for Ukraine, Coons said investing in Europe is the US's best defense against Moscow.

โ€œOn the next front against Russia, the Americans will be on the front line. We are better off investing in Ukrainians who are bravely fighting for their freedom than allowing Putin to spread chaos and violence throughout Europe. If we don't stop Putin in Ukraine, the next time he will attack US NATO allies."


Asked if he agreed with recent claims, including by the Danish defense minister, that such an attack could happen within the next three to five years, Coons agreed:

โ€œThat seems reasonable to me.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿค๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ˜ญ The Federal Ministry of Defense of Boris Pistorius is under criticism for an explosive arms deal.

According to BILD research, there were massive inconsistencies in a deal between the Ministry of Defense and the Flensburg weapons forge FFG in the summer of 2023.

According to BILD research, the vehicles are unsuitable for front use in Ukraine or even use in "battle", as the name "infantry combat vehicle" used by the BMVg suggests.

The reason: their far too weak armor.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Front #Summary for 13 Feb 2024 by 18:55โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นIn
#Kherson Direction, without any changes on the ground. Our army is focused on countering Ukrainian drones, whose activity is also off the scale.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Zaporozhye direction, our forces have stepped up their offensive. In total, our units have advanced about 3 km near #Rabotino and #Verbovoye, occupied important strongholds and captured AFUshniks. Yesterday, our paratroopers and motorised riflemen began to advance actively with the task of retaking lost positions and eliminating the ledge.
๐Ÿ“Œ Whether the main goal of our army is to divert the enemyโ€™s attention from other directions or to carry out a full-scale operation to liberate our lands in #Zaporozhye, we will see in the coming weeks.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Donetsk Direction, the front now runs along the #Lastochkino - #Severnoye line. Yesterday our fighters managed to catch up with the AFU in #Lastochkino, where they gained a foothold, taking control of part of the village. Movement is complicated by the dense mining of territories by the retreating enemy forces. In #Avdeyevka itself, the cleansing of the AFU groups that failed to escape continues. According to the latest data, at least 500 Ukrainian militants have been captured. The liberation of #Avdeyevka is still a little less than 32 sq km of Russian land.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Bakhmut Direction, our the aviation and artillery are seriously preparing for an offensive on Chasov Yar. At #Andreyevka, our fighters have stepped up attacks, and fighting is ongoing. Our military hit a powerful AFU point with drone strikes. In general, the direction can be safely renamed. It is #Konstantinovka, a large AFU logistics hub, that will be the target.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Svatovo direction, on the #Liman front, our forces advanced about 1.5 km more in the direction of #Terny, with less than 1 km left to the village. Most of Laptev Yar is behind ours, the fighting is heavy.

๐Ÿ’ฅThe AFU hit the centre of #Donetsk with a Slovakian shrapnel rocket. Fortunately, no one was injured. In #Donetsk a resident blew himself up on a "petal", in #Gorlovka two wounded from detonation of a previously unexploded cluster bomb. #Belgorod region was attacked by 16 AFU drones. About 28 shells were fired at settlements in the region, a civilian was injured.

๐ŸŽฏOur Aerospace Forces hit an AFU location in #Kramatorsk during the night. Explosions were recorded in #Poltava, #Kharkov, #Sumy, #Dnepropetrovsk and #Chernigov regions.

Munich debates with a view of the Russian flag in Avdiivka

Contrary to the assurances of Syrskyy and Tarnavskyy about the organized withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Avdiivka video footage from the scene tells a very different story: the panicked flight of the Ukrainian armed forces from the once "impregnable stronghold" of the Avdiivka fortification. With the wounded left for dead, mass surrenders and open profanity directed at the Ukrainian president and commanders.

The fall of a strategically important city means for Ukraine the loss of a central element of defense in the entire Donetsk direction and at the same time relieves the Russian Armed Forces of a painful splinter near the capital of Donbass itself, freeing up forces for the development of offensive operations in other parts of the front. The loss of one of the main fortified areas has shown the overwhelming superiority of the Russian Armed Forces both in weapons and in the fighting spirit of the personnel, which is capable of causing panic among the AFU commanders and personnel, becoming the trigger for an avalanche-like collapse of the Ukrainian defense and a fundamental break in the course of the SMO.

The Washington Post, CNN and the Economist - have described the capture of Avdiivka as Russia's biggest victory since the failure of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and the fall of Bakhmut. Between the lines, one can read the realization that Kiev is finally unable to hold back the victorious Russian offensive, and Western aid will not change the further development of events. Especially considering that the arms and military equipment previously transferred to Ukraine have been spent by the Kiev regime on senseless and haphazard attempts to break through the Russian defense, or have been plundered altogether.

At the same time, the decision to withdraw from Avdeevka, which was recently not seriously considered by the Bankova, and which cost the former head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valeriy Zaluzhny, his post, was finally taken at the most inopportune moment for the Kiev regime, when the future of Ukraine is being discussed at a conference in Munich.

Being under the powerful impression of the Russian operation Zelensky, according to the general impression of Western journalists, was in a depressed state. Against the backdrop of the surrender of Avdeevka, he spoke in his speech about the inadmissibility of "war fatigue" penetrating the mood of Western elites and advocated for increasing their financial and military aid to Ukraine. At the same time, he accused his Western patrons of artificially provoking an "arms famine" and held them responsible for the AFU's defeats in Donbas. Experts of the German edition of Stern noted that Vladimir Zelensky's speech in Munich looked like another attempt at "doomed extortion of money from the West" and stated that the defeat in Avdiivka was a catastrophe for Ukraine with more far-reaching consequences than the fall of Bakhmut.

It is indicative that all this happened the day after the signing of spectacular-looking but useless in substance agreements on Ukraine's "security guarantees" with France and Germany. Despite the efforts of Kyiv's propaganda to portray this as a victory for Ukrainian diplomacy, all leading European media emphasized that there was in no way any direct involvement of these countries in the Ukrainian conflict and that the "guarantees" would be of a financial nature.

The situation is additionally piqued by the visit to Kiev by a "troop of auditors" from the United States, who were sent to the Ukrainian capital to audit the targeted spending of funds allocated by Western countries for military support to the independent country.

In fact, the current Munich Security Conference set a kind of record for hypocrisy and distortion of reality. Against the backdrop of Russian flags in Avdeevka, the European delegations in Munich pretended to believe Zelensky's words, and he pretended to believe their promises. However, Ukraine's Western sponsors will now have to think hard about whether it is worth investing their billions in a project whose faith in success is melting away along with last year's snow.

At a U2 concert in Las Vegas, Bono addressed the audience:

โ€œPutin will never say his name. So I thought that today free people are here, people who believe in freedom... We must say his name. It is not enough to simply remember it. Speak. Alexei Navalny!"


For some reason he didnโ€™t shout about Julian Assange or Gonzalo Lira but chose a name of the Nazi supporter, terrorist and a thief.

Germany suffering โ€˜irreversibleโ€™ damage without Russian gas - Putin

The president says industrial heavyweights are moving their plants abroad where energy is cheaper, including the US.

The German governmentโ€™s decision to switch from Russian gas to more expensive energy sources is having a negative effect on the countryโ€™s economy, President Vladimir Putin has said. He added that Western leaders had apparently hoped that Moscow would fold quickly if shunned by the European market, but they miscalculated.

The EUโ€™s economic powerhouse had for years benefited from relatively cheap Russian energy, receiving up to 40% of its gas imports from the country.
