⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ On the Situation in and around #Bakhmut and #Soledar⚡️

🔸
#Bakhmut Sector Southwest:
Unfortunately my assessment from 👉 Yesterday was right. According to @Wargonzo's morning report: "The Wagner PMCs, supported by artillery, attacked again in the direction of #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye), but without success."

🔸#Bakhmut:
In the city itself, there is progress.

🔸#Bakhmut Sector North:
Fights in
#Berkhovka
and at
#Yagodnoye south of #Berkhovka

🔸
#Soledar Sector:
Attack on #Zaliznyanskoye.
Fights at #Fedorovka and #Razdolovka.
Attacks towards #Vyemka.

⚠️ Unconfirmed: We are waiting for further info when today's battles are done. No mention always means no success.

Zelensky prepares Ukrainians for Bakhmut surrender, fight for it suddenly ceases to be priority

Zelensky said in an interview with a number of Italian media outlets that Bakhmut is not worth defending to the last soldier as it turns out to be "not a particularly big city" and has nothing special to offer. Zelensky, who had recently been brave and bold and promising his citizens and soldiers to do everything possible to preserve strategically and symbolically important Bakhmut, abruptly went back down.

Apparently, assessing the real Ukrainian Army's situation near Bakhmut, the President suddenly began to value the lives of his soldiers abandoned by their commanders and said that Ukraine would approach the process intelligently and "fight as long as it is reasonable". However, Zelensky immediately tried to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the Western press, saying that the possible surrender of the city would in fact be part of a cunning plan to prepare a counterattack.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 ISW Trolls on 🇺🇦:

🔻 February 19 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine's Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Fedir Venislavskyi stated that Russian forces have already deployed all their combat-ready units to the frontlines in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts as well as parts of Zaporizhia Oblast.

▪️ Ukrainian forces will reportedly be able to deploy only 50 Western-provided tanks to frontline areas by April, out of a promised total of 320 tanks.

▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) confirmed that the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) 1st Army Corps and Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) 2nd Army Corps are official formations in the Russian Armed Forces while denying accusations that it dismissed DNR Military Command spokesperson Eduard Basurin or any other LNR/DNR commander.

▪️ Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin seized on the controversy over Basurin’s reported dismissal by publicizing a meeting he had with Basurin in which Prigozhin continued several informational lines of attack against the Russian MoD.

▪️ Chechen Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov publicly applauded Prigozhin after likely refusing to join Prigozhin’s renewed campaign against the Russian MoD. Kadyrov also indicated that he may be interested in forming a paramilitary company of his own after completing his government service.

▪️ The Russian MoD falsely claimed that Ukrainian officials are preparing a radiological false flag attack in order to accuse Russia of violating the Convention on Nuclear Safety ahead of the 11th emergency special session of the United Nations General Assembly.

▪️ Russian Investigative Committee Head Alexander Bastrykin claimed that the completed investigation into the October 10, 2022 explosion on the Kerch Strait Bridge in Crimea proves that Ukrainian Special Services planned and conducted a terrorist attack. The attack would have been a legitimate military operation, not a terrorist attack, had Ukraine conducted it.

▪️ A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces crossed the Russian border into Kharkiv Oblast and occupied unspecified border settlements.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations northwest of Svatove and near Kreminna. Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces are strengthening frontline positions west and northwest of Kreminna.

▪️ Russian forces likely secured marginal gains in the northern suburbs of Bakhmut and in the eastern outskirts of the city. A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that degraded Wagner Group formations are narrowing the scope of their offensives in the Bakhmut area due to a lack of forces.

▪️ Russian forces reportedly continued offensive operations along the western outskirts of Donetsk city and around Vuhledar.

▪️ Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces conducted a localized ground attack near Novodanylivka, Zaporizhia Oblast and amplified footage showing Wagner Group fighters arriving in Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast.

▪️ Crimean occupation parliament head Vladimir Konstantinov stated that Crimean occupation officials nationalized tens of billions of rubles (at least 10 million USD) worth of Ukrainian property and plan to use funds from the sale of the property to support Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.

▪️ A Russian milblogger claimed that the Commander of Russian 45th Separate Special Purpose Brigade of the Russian Airborne Forces Vadim Pankov was promoted to Major-General.

▪️ A Russian Lancet drone manufacturer and Kalashnikov Concern subsidiary is reportedly producing drones in a public sauna following disputes over access to its facilities, prompting another Russian drone manufacturers to call for the mass assembly of drones despite the lack availability of proper facilities.

▪️ Ukrainian military officials reported that Russian forces are unable to repair modernized S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems near the frontlines due to logistics problems and have to transfer these systems to manufacturing plants in Russia.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇸👻 On the Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by the US Troll Entity "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥 So much blabber that I could not publish in one post.
😺

📌 Apart from the once again unbearably boring and pointless drivel of the US amateur troll milbloggers of the ISW disinformer institute (Bakhmut not mentioned at all and again no results etc.), just dirt without any military value being produced, in my opinion:

🇷🇺 the Russian MoD with the warnings prevents the provocations of the Nazi gangs and their Western supporters from finally taking place. 🍾

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bachmut - Situation until 15:00 on 20 Feb 2023⚡️

🔹
#Bakhmut Sector North:

▪️ After the liberation of #Paraskoviyevka, Wagner PMC assault squads broke through the AFU defence southeast of #Berkhovka and advanced close to #Yagodnoye. Fighting is now taking place on the northern outskirts of the village.

▪️ Concurrently, the northern districts of #Berkhovka are being stormed. Russian units have gained control of an important position on the hill north of #Berkhovka and Dubovo-Vasilevka, improving their tactical position before storming the suburbs of #Bakhmut.

🔹#Bakhmut:

▪️ The "Wagnerians" went deep into the defense lines of the AFU near Stupki in the north of the city, clearing the areas of the railway station.

▪️ In Zabakhmutovka, the assault squads advanced further along Vatutina Street, reaching the cemetery area, in the eastern parts of #Bakhmut.

▪️ In the south and southeast of the city, positional battles are taking place. Russian units with artillery and aviation fire support are pushing through Ukrainian fortifications in the Budenovka area and near the highway from #Konstantinovka.

📌 The Main Efforts are now concentrated on the storming of the northern districts of #Bakhmut and its suburbs. The successful liberation of #Paraskoviyevka made it possible to increase pressure on #Berkhovka and Dubovo-Vasilevka, through which the supply of the AFU grouping in the north of the city is organised.

Advancement southeast of #Bakhmut and towards Orekhovo-Vasilevka makes it possible to curb the efforts of Ukrainian formations. Meanwhile, the AFU command has sent a hastily formed battalion from #Sumy region to #Bakhmut.

In the same region is accelerated training of a composite rifle battalion to replace the Carpathian 37th Composite Battalion, which suffered losses in the battles for Krasnyaya Gora and #Paraskoviyevka.

A "popular" Ukrainian tiktoker explains the situation of the country and why he doesn't go to the front to defend the have homeland:

- Here’s the situation. I have nothing to defend. Everything’s private. Private owners everywhere. What should I defend? I can't figure out why I should fight. For what? ... You have nothing free. They can adopt a law any second, and you’ll have no land and no home. That’s it. Let's disperse. I tell you, I will not go to war. Don't write nasty things to me, please. Thanks everyone.

Fake news:
The Russian Armed Forces have repeatedly used brutality against Ukrainian civilians. US Vice-President Kamala Harris said this at the Munich Security Conference.

The fact:
Listing the atrocities allegedly committed by Russian troops, Harris named all the most heart-warming fakes concocted by Ukrainian propaganda:

▪️The destruction of the Mariupol Drama Theatre by Russian aircraft. In fact, the theatre was mined and blown up by fighters of the Azov regiment, recognized in Russia as a terrorist organization.

▪️The death of a pregnant woman in a Russian air force strike on a Mariupol maternity hospital. The woman, who turned out to be alive and well, later refuted the fake herself. The building was blown up by Azov nationalists. In the photos is Marianna Vyshemirskaya, fortunately she is alive, as is her child. The DPR troops helped a mother and her baby to evacuate from the war zone.

▪️The shooting of civilians in Bucha. This is probably the largest-scale information provocation by the Ukrainian side. To lend credibility to the fake, Kyiv used archived data on the Russian military who had been discharged from the army long before the start of the special military operation.

▪️The rape of a four-year-old girl. In an attempt to demonize Russia as much as possible, the Ukrainian army psychological operations center has repeatedly made up fakes about the rape of children by Russian soldiers. Especially Ukrainian ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova became famous in this case, admitting later that she made up fakes while having tea with her daughter.

China to never allow America to order what to do in a partnership with Russia

China will never allow the US to point fingers at relations between Beijing and Moscow, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said at its regular briefing on Monday.

Earlier, the US officials warned China against supplying Russia with arms and ammunition, as Moscow struggles to gain ground in Ukraine. They put their Chinese counterparts on notice in videoconferences and at in-person meetings that China is “nearing a red line” in assisting Russia.
