👁 As you can see, #Paraskoviyevka, close to the east, is operationally encircled because the approaches to the east are under Russian fire control.

📌 The capture of #Berkhovka is important to achieve the goal of completely encircling #Bakhmut, so we can expect heavy fighting there.

News from the front. Ugledar direction. Message from callsign Kislyak

AFU has been transferring new reserves for several days.
Fierce battles are going on in the south-east of Ugledar in the areas of dachas. Our marines were able to knock out the militants of the Kyiv regime from several houses.

Artillery is constantly working on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ugledar and its environs.

The assault on Ugledar continues from several flanks. In the assault involved:

▪️155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade (Primorsky Territory)
▪️40th Separate Krasnodar-Kharbinskaya Twice Red Banner Marine Brigade (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky)
▪️operational-combat tactical formation "Kaskad" (DNR),
▪️3rd Army Corps (Nizhny Novgorod Region)
▪️29th Combined Arms Army (Zabaikalsky Krai)

The Russian army continues its offensive against Ugledar

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 16 Feb 2023; pub. 07:00📍

🔴 The RF Armed Forces launched missile strikes against targets in #Lvov, #Poltava, #Zaporozhye, #Cherkasy, #Odessa, #Sumy, #Nikolayev and #Dnepropetrovsk regions during the night.
During the day, decoys were actively used to expose the enemy's air defence system. As the day's photographs of "knocked down" balloons with corner reflectors show, this method of deceiving enemy radars is effective.

▪️ Active offensives continue in the #Soledar, #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) and #Maryinka directions. The RF Armed Forces reported successes in the #Kremennaya - #Seversk direction.

▪️ The #Kupyansk direction is characterized by the effectiveness of our troops. The enemy has announced the evacuation of the population in the town.

▪️ In the #Ugledar direction, the situation remains difficult. Amid heavy fighting in the suburbs, the AFU are attempting counterattacks and publishing new videos of our (Russian) captives.
The RF Armed Forces are carrying out continuous strikes with their artillery, TOS Solntsepek are being used. However, the enemy has released two videos of the destruction of our heavy flamethrower systems.
The enemy is drawing in reserves.

▪️ In the Kherson direction mutual shelling across the #Dnieper River continues.

🔵 The AFU is preparing for a defensive operation to exhaust our forces and launch a counteroffensive.
It is reported that in the areas bordering Russia, the enemy has withdrawn troops 3 km to previously prepared positions.

▪️ The arrival of new enemy forces from #KrivoyRog is noted in the #Zaporozhye direction. The task is to hold back the onslaught of our units and go on the offensive.

▪️ In the #Belgorod region, our air defence has shot down several missiles.

▪️ From #Sevastopol, they also report a downed object (UAV) of the enemy. Local residents heard two explosions in the morning.

▪️ 75 munitions were fired by the enemy at the DPR. #Gorlovka, #Donetsk, #Yasinovataya, #Makeyevka, #Dokuchayevsk, #Ilovaysk are under fire.

⭐️ Thus, over the past 24 hours there have been no serious changes to the line of contact, despite fierce fighting in a number of directions. In anticipation of our large-scale offensive the enemy is preparing defences, the RF Armed Forces are using a new tactic of opening and destroying enemy air defense radars.

The only thing that prevents unleashing a third world war is Putin's calmness. This conclusion was made by American journalists Andrew Napolitano and Clint Russell. They also discussed that Putin and Biden behave differently.

“We have weapons of mass destruction on the Russian border. They have nothing on our borders. Putin did not threaten Joe Biden. Senator Lindsey Graham has publicly asked Joe Biden to send a team to assassinate Putin. So tell me which side is more rational and which side is destructive. This is the obvious and simple answer,” said Andrew Napolitano.

Ukraine will become a member of NATO after the victory , - Stoltenberg.

The NATO Secretary General noted that the priority for the Alliance now is not Ukraine's membership, but helping it to win the war against Russia.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡@Rybar on the Current State and Bottlenecks of #Ukraine's Power System⚡️

Despite ongoing strikes on UA's power generation facilities, power outage times are decreasing. Street lighting has even reappeared in some cities.

Does it appear that the Russian attacks are not effective? It's a bit more complicated than that.

🔹Power System Reserves:

The root of the current situation is the decline of #Ukraine's economy. Its energy system was created to supply 50 mil people with many energy-intensive plants. In 30 years, many disappeared and population shrank by at least 20% from 1991 to 2021.

The result was a unused capacity: for example, at the largest NPP, #Zaporozhye, only 1 of the 6 units was operating when the SMO began. By the autumn of 2022, it had only become larger due to plant closures and reduced traffic and a reduced utility load due to runaway population.

▪️In Oct, the RF Forces began striking power distribution facilities and knocking out autotransformers (ATs), with emergency shutdown schedules appearing across the country due to the accumulation of damage. But these were temporary difficulties: most PSs have a load substantially less than the nominal load, allowing it to be transferred from the knocked-out AT to the remaining ones.

▪️It takes a huge amount of high-precision ammunition to destroy all the transformers. Therefore, the PPs themselves have already become the target of the RF Forces in winter:

#Kharkov TPP-5, Burshtyn and Krivoy Rog TPP; damaged turbines with generators,
#Pridneprovska TPP; boilers damaged
#Kiev TPP-6 - transformer of the power unit damaged
#Dnieper HPP - the turbine hall was damaged
#Ladyzhinskaya TPP - belt conveyor and gas pipelines damaged.

But the facilities did not sustain any critical damage. The reason was the same overcapacity: for example, at Krivoy Rog TPP only 2 out of 10 turbine generators - #1 and #2 worked. Turbine #5 was scheduled to be put into operation in spring, but it was struck on 10 Feb.

🔹Measures by UA Energy Companies:

The authorities were forced to draw on reserves: the Energy Ministry reported that in Feb all 9 units at the 3 remaining NPPs were operational. Each generates 1,000 MW, and the reserves mitigated consumption constraints.

Starting up the units required a considerable amount of time, so the process could only be completed by 2023. There were no other options: due to the loss of Donetsk anthracite, there was a coal shortage, so the mass reactivation of TPP turbines made no sense.

It would seem that the abrupt cessation of emergency shutdowns indicates that the crisis in UA's energy system has been overcome. Except that everything seems to be happening exactly the opposite.

🔹What is the Vulnerability of UA's Energy System?

The NPPs always operate in the mode of constant power generation, and the commissioning of new units substantially increases the base level of generation. It is imperative to increase consumption to ensure full utilisation of the generators.

That is why the emergence of outdoor lighting in cities is not a sign of power system stability, but a forced measure to maintain its stability. To maintain frequency during peak loads, capacity manoeuvring is necessary, which is currently the bottleneck in UA's energy sector.

🔹What should be done?

On the one hand, it is possible to hit the general plant control points (GPU), which provide energy transit from NPPs to consumers. However, this requires a lot of ammunition.

A far more suitable option would be to knock out the turbine generators in the PPs, which provide the power maneuvering. Thus, when the electric locomotive traction is switched on, there will be nothing to compensate for consumption peaks: this will limit the use of trains and affect the logistics of the AFU. And morning and evening bursts of utility loads can even cause power unit shutdowns with cascading outages.

📌 Systematic strikes on TPP turbine halls will deprive UA's power system stability. It must continue!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Advance at #Maryinka⚡️

📌 Russian forces continue their assault on the #Maryinka fortification. Due to the difficulty of advancing through the city's central districts, the RF Armed Forces switched to a tactic of encircling the units of Ukraine's 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade from the north and south.

🔹 In the north, the RF Armed Forces advanced through the fields and came close to the farming bases in the area of the pigsty to the west of Geologichnaya Street. Now, with the fire support of artillery, the clearing of the depots continues.

🔹 In the south, Russian units are fighting in the vicinity of a tyre repair plant and a petrol station, gradually pushing through the AFU defences in #Maryinka.

❗️Arestovich believes that everyone who considers Russian the language of the aggressor has psychological deviations

Talking Head Arestovich explained that the Ukrainians who oppose the Russian language are “not capable of making real connections between cause and effect.”

📝 “I explain why “the Russian language is the language of the aggressor”, this is a psychological deviation... The prescription of the Russian language for aggressiveness towards Ukrainian identity as an inherent feature is the inability to establish real connections between cause and effect, which is a qualifying sign of a severe mental disorder.”
