El jefe de la PMC de Wagner, Yevhen Prigozhin, ha declarado que un grupo de mercenarios extranjeros, entre los que también se encontraba el estadounidense Peter Reid, fue liquidado por los militares ucranianos.
"Peter Reid fue asesinado en la intersección de la calle Field y el primer carril Pushkinsky. Si ponemos este punto en el mapa, podemos ver que las posiciones de la PMC de Wagner estaban al menos a 5 km de distancia y que hay construcciones de gran altura en todos los lados (mapa adjunto).
Por lo tanto, cualquier experto militar confirmará que era casi imposible detectar este punto y atacar desde nuestras posiciones.
Puedo decir con certeza que Peter Reed fue asesinado por un infiltrado. Y el informe sobre este asesinato fue preparado por el estonio Lajdinen.
Por lo tanto, las acusaciones contra el PMC de Wagner no tienen ninguna corroboración", dijo Prigozhin a la CNN cuando se le preguntó.

"Peter Reid was killed at the intersection of Field Street and 1st Pushkinsky Lane. If we put this point on the map, we can see that there was at least 5 km to the Wagner PMC positions and there is high-rise construction on all sides (map attached).
Therefore, any military expert will confirm that it was almost impossible to detect this point and to strike from our positions.
I can say with certainty that Peter Reed was killed by an insider. And the report on this murder was prepared by Estonian Lajdinen.
Therefore, the allegations against the Wagner PMC have no corroboration," Prigozhin told CNN when asked.

🇭🇺🇺🇸 On U.S. interference in the politics of Hungary
Last week in Hungary, the visit of USAID head Samantha Power to Budapest was actively discussed.
Despite the fact that she made some very vague statements about the purpose of the visit and her intention to discuss democratic values, many Hungarians were suspicious of her visit and decided to get ready for a “color revolution.” And there were reasons for it.
▪️ The majority of Hungarian politicians do not believe that Europe should take on the material support of Ukraine and help the Kiev authorities to fight.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban is convinced that the conflict must be "resolved by the parties involved."
▪️ On February 15, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjártó said that while the rest of the European Union is waiting for a more favorable moment for Kiev, his colleagues and him support the early start of peace talks.
🔻 How do American politicians react to the Hungarians’ behavior?
First of all, a video was published by the American embassy in Hungary. Viewers were asked to guess to whom the statements belonged -- the Hungarian government or Vladimir Putin - and then they were to horrify at the “colonialist way of thinking” of the Hungarian administration.
▪️ Shortly before, the U.S. administration had assigned the duties of ambassador to Budapest to an openly homosexual David Pressman. Against the backdrop of Hungary's 2021 laws against LGBT propaganda, to appoint such a person was a rather provocative decision.
▪️ In early February, Politico quoted a statement by Pressman in which he called Orban's remarks "blatantly propagandistic" and his activities " pushing policies endorsed by Putin."
🔻 What is USAID going to do in Hungary?
Last December, the agency announced the launch of a new program in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Its goal is to "strengthen sustainability of the independent media sector," and to "empower citizens to protect fundamental freedoms."
▪️ Besides, there are other USAID-supported institutions functioning in Hungary like Amnesty Hungary and Hungary Helsinki Committee and the feminist “anti-racist LGBTQ organization” Budapest Pride.
🔻 According to Hungarians, the efforts of local NGOs were not enough to overthrow Orban. Therefore, USAID, the main instrument of “supporting democracy in foreign countries,” will now begin its educational activities in the state.
As colleagues from the Hungarian channel @oroszokazigazsagoldalan rightly pointed out, the situation in the country will not change tomorrow. Rather, American influence in various spheres is likely to become increasingly tangible, depending on how stubbornly the current government continues to pursue national interests.
But one should not expect the Prime Minister and his cabinet to change their views to more democratic ones. Orban's government still enjoys strong support from citizens and the vast majority of them are right-wing, so attempts to impose a liberal agenda are unlikely to go smoothly.

The Soviet 122mm self-propelled howitzer 2S1 "Gvozdika" of the enemy also did not escape the tenacious gaze of the Lancet drone operators. Another self-propelled gun was 👉 destroyed near the settlement in Lukyanovskyoe, Zaporozhye direction.
It is worth noting that the systematic use of Lancet kamikaze drones in the depths of the enemy's defenses greatly constrains the use of artillery by him.

◾Information about the forced "evacuation" of children from the eastern regions of Ukraine to European countries is massively popping up in the media. The Ukrainian government forcibly takes children from their parents and takes them abroad. What will the guys expect in the end? The options are different: those who are sold to an infertile couple in Europe or placed in orphanages will be very lucky.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by the US Troll Entity "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):
🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: The amateur strategists again report nothing about the results of the battles they talk about. This is a total NoGo from both a military and a journalistic point of view. The trolls are confirming once again their own incompetence. Otherwise, distorted facts and primitive propaganda. Just plain snot. 🚽
🔻 February 16 Key Takeaways 👻
▪️ Russian forces conducted another series of missile strikes on infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine on February 16.
▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Russian Federation Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova on February 16, confirming that the Kremlin is directly involved in facilitating the deportation and adoption of Ukrainian children into Russian families.
▪️ Ukrainian officials stated that Russian forces aim to capture Bakhmut by the first anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, which would require a significantly higher rate of Russian advance than has been recently observed.
▪️ Russian forces are reportedly increasing their use of airpower in Ukraine but are unlikely to attempt dramatically increased air operations over Ukrainian-controlled territory.
▪️ Russia and Ukraine exchanged 202 prisoners-of-war (POWs) in a one-for-one exchange.
Wagner Group financier Yevgeniy Prigozhin continues to subtly attack the Russian Ministry of Defense’s (MoD) credibility.
▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations northwest of Svatove and near Kreminna.
▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations around Bakhmut, along the western outskirts of Donetsk City, and in western Donetsk Oblast.
▪️ Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces continued reconnaissance activities along the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast.
▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reportedly continuing its prison recruitment efforts.
▪️ Russian occupation officials continued efforts to integrate occupied areas into the Russian legal system.
▪️ Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reiterated his longstanding boilerplate rhetoric that Belarusian forces will attack Ukraine if Ukraine or the West attacks Belarus.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th Brigade update
Good afternoon! Bakhmut is in touch!
The situation in the city and its surroundings on February 17
1. In the north of the city in Paraskoviivka, fierce battles took place yesterday and during the night. Unfortunately, the enemy managed to advance deep into the settlement. The orcs' attack in the rear of our units in the direction of Berkhivka played its role.
2. Orcs are trying to force an offensive in the direction of Orikhove-Vasylivka and Dubove-Vasylivka. There are fierce battles with the use of all types of artillery. At night, one of the groups of orcs was destroyed during an attempt to advance to Orikhovo Vasilivka.
At the cost of heavy losses, the enemy will try to press the situation with Paraskoviivka and take it in the coming days. If successful, dirt roads in the north of the city in the direction of Sloviansk will come under physical and fire control, which will complicate the situation with logistics.
At the moment, our command has defeated the orks in the southwest near the Bakhmut-Kostyantynivka road. Everyone understood that we would try to make a counterattack there, but it still came as a "surprise" for the Orks.
"This has never happened and here it is again"
We hold on. We are calmly and methodically liberating Ukraine from the occupiers.

🔹 Southwest of #Bakhmut, the Ukrainian army again counterattacked near #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) and somewhat pushed the Wagner PMCs back from the route to #Konstantinovka
⚠️ In this respect, we can consider the report as confirmed. We are waiting for further information
‼️ Please bear in Mind that there cannot be only successes, especially since the Wagnerians are far outnumbered, Ukrop brought permanent reinforcement to the combat zone. The same applies to the video above. It represents a small part of the overall picture from the fiend's point of view.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 19:00 on 17 Feb 2023⚡️
🔹#Bakhmut Sector North:
▪️ Wagner PMC assault squads were able to advance deep into #Paraskoviyevka from the south at night due to the simultaneous attack on Berkhovka from both sides and the shackling of Ukrainian units.
▪️ Concurrently, a Russian advance towards Orekhovo-Vasilevka and Dubovo-Vasilevka, supported by artillery and MLRS, as well as by assault and army aviation, has begun.
▪️ Now the AFU is trying to hold back the line with all possible forces. In the next few days, armored personnel carriers from the #Ugledar site, which was in the reserve of the Ukrainian grouping, are expected to be deployed to the #Bakhmut area.
▪️ Furthermore, by 1 March, two battalions (about 800 men) from the newly formed 116th Mechanized Brigade of the recently created Army Corps are planned to be transferred by rail to #Krasnoye and #Bakhmut.
🔹#Bakhmut:
▪️ Positional fighting continues. Ukrainian formations are firing at areas where the Wagnerians are advancing using artillery and Mi-8 and Mi-24 helicopters.
🔹#Bakhmut Sector Southwest:
▪️ There is fierce fighting on the outskirts of #Krasnoye. Both sides are using barrel and rocket artillery. On the section of the highway to #Konstantinovka, the AFU conducted a counterattack, pushing back the Wagnerian assault squads, the road is still in the "grey zone".
▪️The rotation of personnel was carried out at the strongholds in Chasov Yar. Units of the 42nd Separate Composite Battalion have arrived and are equipping facilities for the defence of the town.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Wagner liberated #Paraskoviyevka⚡️
📌 The Wagner PMC assault squads have taken full control of the #Paraskoviyevka village, north of #Bakhmut," Prigozhin said.
🏵 This is a very significant victory for us and a very critical defeat for the AFU in the #Bakhmut sector of the front. Critical, but not yet fatal.
🎻 You guys are the best!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut - 17 Feb 2023, 20:00⚡️
💀 Prigozhin said that #Paraskoviyevka village is completely under Wagner control. Despite the ammunition blockade, heavy losses and bloody fighting, the guys have fully occupied the entire settlement. Thanks them! Heroes!
🔹 The liberation of #Paraskoviyevka, which was an important tactical node in the AFU defence, significantly improves Wagner's situation in the north of #Bakhmut.
The clearing of the Krasnaya Gora - #Podgorodnoye - #Paraskoviyevka triangle will increase pressure on #Berkhovka, where fighting took place for the past few days, and secure a strong foothold in the north of #Bakhmut.
📌 Control of #Berkhovka, as well as the neighbouring village of #Yagodnoye, could leave the AFU without northern supply routes, which currently run through the #Berkhovka - #Khromovo line. In the long term, this would seriously hamper the AFU's ability to defend #Bakhmut.
