The head of the Russian Defense Ministry , Sergei Shoigu , said that the crew of the Russian Alyosha tank was presented for state awards for repelling an attack by an armored group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction. The department told reporters about this.

According to the statement, the crew will be awarded for "the courage and heroism shown in battle."

Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin saw a video in which the crew of the Russian Alyosha tank alone was able to stop a convoy of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the special operation zone. According to him, such heroism causes admiration and a sense of pride.

The video, which has circulated online, shows how the crew of a Russian tank struck several pieces of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which intended to attack on one of the sectors of the front. As the media wrote, the Russian military hit seven pieces of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, several more armored vehicles of the enemy were destroyed by anti-tank guided missiles and artillery.

❗️🇺🇦🇺🇸 NEW VIDEO: Gonzalo Lira's Attempted Escape from Ukraine: What's Happening & How to Help

▪️Gonzalo Lira, an American/Chilean citizen was detained by the Ukrainian SBU last year, and arrested very publicly again this year.

▪️He had since disappeared until this week, admitting he had been in prison awaiting trial, tortured, and extorted.

▪️He had gotten bail, and attempted to flee into Hungary for asylum and hasn't been heard from publicly since.

▪️To help Gonzalo, the public must continue placing pressure on the US government and Western "human rights" organizations who have so far, very deliberately, ignored his case.

⚡️📣 The USA citizen and transgender "Sarah Ashton-Cirillo" Is being made the official speaker of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Western audiences. Seems Ukraine is taking Biden's example of hiring less qualified people just because they are transgendered. This is Pathetic!   ⚡️📣 Here you can see a clip of "Sarah Ashton-Cirillo" bragging and implying for Ukraine that Gonzola Lira (a USA citizen and journalist) has most likely been arrested again by Ukrainian special services when trying to enter Hungary to seek asylum. He has been held for many months in horrible conditions by Ukrainian sbu for voicing his opinions against the Ukrainian government and is facing over 8 years for his speech. Has the world turned upside down?

In this clip, Ritter makes points which I've been myself thinking for quite a while. Worth the listen (do listen closely from 14:40).



My thoughts/questions (Note: I wish GL no ill whatsoever, but reserve the right to think critically about his story):

-GL disappears, the internet freaks out on his behalf (I myself advocated for him/his release) because his pinned tweet on his Twitter account at the time was: "For the truth about the Zelensky regime, Google these names: Vlodymyr Struk, Denis Kireev, Mikhail & Aleksander Kononovich, Nestor Shufrych, Yan Taksyur, Dmitri Djangirov, Elena Berezhnaya. Once again: If you haven’t heard from me in 12 hours or more, put my name on this list. GL"
*The names were all people arrested or killed by Ukraine.


-GL resurfaces, says he was "detained" by SBU but cannot discuss any of the details beyond saying he was detained.

-GL says SBU took his devices.

-GL opens new Twitter & Youtube & in a later interview says the SBU took his devices and changed the passwords on his accounts, gave the devices back to him.

-GL thanks but chastises people for freaking out on his behalf (which people did largely due to his pinned tweet).

-GL pins the same warning tweet on his new Twitter account (but he doesn't want you to freak out if he goes missing again 🙄...)

-GL continues doing what one cannot do in Ukraine without being murdered or otherwise disappeared...(although by this time the SBU know where he lives but for some reason allow him to continue doing interviews & tweeting...)

-GL is seen being detained by Ukrainian SBU, videos show this.

-Nothing heard from GL for over 2 months.

-GL posts Youtube videos & Twitter thread saying he has been released on bail (illogical if Ukraine views him as a threat), faces trial next day & instead of being sentenced to prison labour (I note my scepticism that he only faced a prison labour sentence and not death by proxy or indefinite imprisonment, if he was actually being charged by Ukraine...given how Ukraine normally treats dissidents/critics or anyone who even mildly critiques the government, which he himself alludes to in his pinned tweet. There's a host of examples of how Ukraine "liquidates" such people..) he's going to skip the country (luckily, his passport was given back to him when he was released...).

-He claims to have been tortured in prison, including having a rib cracked & a toothpick run across his eye...but his body language suggests otherwise. I've met enough people who've been tortured and seen the haunted look in their eyes & on their face. I didn't see it in GL's composure (which, in contrast was almost buoyant)...


...Anyway, I'm not going to spend longer on this than I have, although I'm sure there are many more holes in his story than those which came to mind just now. I could be entirely wrong, but reserve the right to think critically. Once again, I do not wish GL ill, but also won't be surprised to learn he is working with the SBU in some capacity.

⚡️📷Russia Uses Ukrainian Tanks In Frontline Battle Against Ukraine ( Special Report )⚡️📷⚡️📷
The USA, Uk, Germany and other country's have started giving tanks to Ukraine. Many have already reached the battle field. In this report I show you how Russia is using captured Ukrainian tanks against Ukraine. I imbedded with a Russian tank Unit from "Cascade" / " Kaskad" on the frontline in battle and documented them Using captured Ukrainian tanks to fire on Ukrainian positions. This time Russia is using T-64 tanks from captured from Ukraine but the tank soldiers say they are ready to capture some some of the western supplied "Abrams, Leopard and Challenger 2" tanks to use them against Ukraine. The OBTF "Cascade" includes parts of the forces and means of the law enforcement agencies of the DPR mainly consiting of locals from the Donetsk area that have been fighting against Ukraine since 2014. The key element of the OBTF "Cascade" is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR. The head of the OBTF "Cascade" is the DPR Minister of Internal Affairs, Colonel-General A. A. Dikiy.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) threw a second echelon of troops into battle, using the 10th Army Corps to attack the settlement of Rabotino, Zaporozhye region, the American newspaper The Washington Post (WP) reports.

“The last week of fighting was important because they (AFU - approx. "Lenta.ru" ) decided to actively engage the second echelon of troops," Rob Lee, an analyst at the Institute for Foreign Policy Studies, quotes the publication as saying .

The battle for Rabotino is taking place 2.5 kilometers from the first line of defensive fortifications in Russia , WP reports. The decision to use reserves is an improvisation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of an offensive that has been going on for two months.

Earlier, the American television channel CNN, citing the Ukrainian authorities , reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine faced problems due to the “incredible” density of minefields during offensive attempts.
