A video of the firing of the French 155-mm self-propelled howitzer CAESAR in the Armed Forces of Ukraine has appeared. Several points are noteworthy:
🔺The full cycle takes about 30 seconds to produce one shot.
🔺Maintaining a high rate of fire depends on the endurance of the loader.
🔺APU uses these howitzers for rapid fire.
🔺One of the crew numbers named Gleb is highlighted.

Gleb, wait for the guests and presents. You better surrender to somebody, who has not seen this video... Viva la France.

🇩🇪🇺🇦⚡Germany blocked the Spanish supply of tanks to Ukraine, the West has a secret agreement

Spiegel writes that Berlin does not agree with Madrid's plans to supply Kyiv with 40 old German-made Leopard 2 tanks. If Berlin had agreed, this would have been the first time that NATO tanks would have been delivered to Ukraine.

The Spaniards retreated sharply, because. the German government warned them that this move would be a departure from the (albeit informal) decision taken by all Western Allies not to supply Kyiv with tanks.

So it turned out that, the countries of the West have an agreement not to supply tanks to Ukraine, even though Kyiv has asked for this many times.

Intense shelling of Donetsk has been going on for more than two hours

DONETSK, June 13 - RIA Novosti. Ukrainian security forces have been shelling Donetsk for more than two hours, RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

It is reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use both cannon and rocket artillery. In addition, cluster munition hits were recorded.

According to local residents, there has not been such intense shelling since 2015. Earlier, the DPR representative office at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire (JCCC) stated that Ukrainian troops around 18:00 Moscow time began shelling the Voroshilovsky, Kyiv and Kuibyshevsky districts of the capital of the republic, firing at least eight missiles from the BM-27 "Hurricane" , eighty rockets from the Grad MLRS, 18 shells of 155 mm calibre and ten mines of 120 mm calibre.

On Monday morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired three shells of 155 mm calibre at the Budyonnovsky district of Donetsk, where the Maisky market is located. As a result, three people were killed and 18 more residents were injured.

Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a military special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin emphasized, its goal is "to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years."

Donetsk: a direct hit in the maternity hospital.

Courageous and resilient Donetsk women wait out the shelling of their maternity hospital in the shelter of the Vishnevsky hospital. In this building there is nothing and no one that would be connected with the war. Only peaceful women and children.

Well, something should be done!😢🤔🥺🚀

There is an opinion that the sharp intensification of shelling of Donetsk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine was caused by a desperate intention to somehow pull part of the Russian artillery to this area from the main directions of the offensive for counter-battery combat.

⚡️Due to the attacks of the Ukrainian military on the settlements of the republic, the DPR requests additional resources of the allied forces, primarily Russia.

This was stated by Denis Pushilin. He urged citizens to stay in safe places if possible:

"The enemy literally crossed all the lines. Prohibited methods of warfare are being used, residential and central districts of Donetsk are being shelled, other cities and settlements of the DPR are also under fire now."

In addition, the heads of departments, as well as private enterprises, are recommended to transfer employees to remote work as much as possible.

As a result of today's strikes of AFU in Donetsk, according to the IC, five people were killed, about 18 were injured.

EXCLUSIVE! LPR Leader Leonid Pasechnik is an incredibly down-to-earth guy. He is a man of the people who prefers the title of Leader of #Luhansk People's Republic (#LPR), and not a President. I was given the opportunity to ask him, "What message would you like to give to the American people?", and this was his response.

For those of you that don't know, the Eastern territory of #Ukraine that succeeded in 2014, by a vote of the people is the Donbass region. Within the Donbass, you have the Luhansk People's Republic on the north side, and the Donetsk People's Republic on the South side. The Donbass has been subject to Ukrainian hostilities, including the Ukrainian military killing thousands of people in the Donbass since their succession. The history and geopolitical situation in this area is incredibly complicated, with American fingerprints all over everything. please research the coup of 2014, and America's role in this.

From @NeoficialniyBeZsonoV:
Very good news from the front. Yesterday morning, units of the 100th brigade of the DPR army broke through the defences of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and advanced 7 km deep into enemy territory and entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts of the village of Berestovoe. Among other things, this means that the only route from Lisichansk "Lysichansk-Artemovsk" on this segment is completely under our fire control. In addition, in this area, our units are fighting for Vrubovka. At the same time, the artillery points of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being successfully suppressed.

As the fighters of the 100th brigade of the DPR Armed Forces said, their brigade commander once again showed himself excellently. The day before yesterday, June 12, he came under artillery fire, as a result of which he received minor shrapnel wounds. After providing medical assistance to the brigade commander, he did not stay in the hospital, but led units of his brigade on the offensive.

This war continues to show real heroes.
