This week is Maslenitsa traditional folk festivity around Orthodox Easter;

Maslenitsa in Ukraine 2021. As you can see the main theme of the festival is the Nazi Black Sun or Sonenrad symbol, totally assimilated into popular culture, as the Nazis did, Ukrainians kidnap popular and folk culture and mix it with Ultranationalist ideas, normalising hate symbols.

To finish the party a traditional pagan ritual is carried where they burn an effigy while the exalted shout Nationalist slogans. This was organised as a "family celebration" by local authorities.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎬 Strikes with "Whirlwind" Anti Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs)⚡️

Russian army aviation helicopters Ka-52 provide fire support to ground units in #Ugledar, #Zaporozhye, #Starobelsk and other areas.

The crews actively use the "Whirlwind" ATGM to hit targets. They make it possible to destroy vehicles at a distance of up to 8km from the front without entering the enemy's air defence zone.

One of the ways to improve the ammunition is to increase the firing range, as well as the creation of a modification with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead. This will lead to even greater effectiveness of the combat use of the Whirlwind missiles.

⚡️ The Russian Defense Ministry commented on the exalted statements that appeared on certain information resources about allegedly blocking the supply of ammunition to volunteers of assault detachments performing combat missions to liberate the city of Artemovsk of the Donetsk People's Republic.

◽️ The command of the joint group of troops (forces) within the framework of a special military operation pays special, constant and priority attention to providing volunteers and military personnel of assault units with everything necessary.

◽️ Only in the last two days, the total advance, to the prepared defensive positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, assault units in the area of the city of Artyomovsk amounted to more than two and a half kilometers. Successful combat operations would not have been possible without full fire support for the offensive by artillery, armored vehicles and other fire weapons of the Yug group. Despite the difficult weather conditions in the area of the city of Artyomovsk, over the past few days, 18 sorties of assault aircraft were carried out to support the offensive of the assault detachments. Therefore, all statements allegedly made on behalf of the assault units about the lack of ammunition are absolutely untrue.

◽️ So, only for the period of two days from February 18 to February 20, 2023, the volunteers of the assault squads received:
1660 rockets for multiple rocket launchers; 10171 ammunition for large-caliber cannon artillery and mortars; 980 tank ammo.

◽️ All applications for the supply of ammunition for assault units are completed as soon as possible. So it was and so it will be.

◽️ In the next few days, all requests for ammunition submitted for February will be fully provided for assault units. On February 25, deliveries of ammunition of the entire range will begin in accordance with the submitted application for March. In total, over the past year, the needs of assault detachments for ammunition were met by 140 percent of the applications received. This is our priority.

◽️ Once again, we want to emphasize that the volunteers, like the military personnel of the assault units of the group, courageously and selflessly carry out the most difficult combat missions to liberate Donbass from militants of the Kyiv regime. Attempts to split the close mechanism of interaction and support between the divisions of the Russian group are counterproductive and play only to the benefit of the enemy.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🏆 Storming an AFU Stronghold near #Kremennaya⚡️

🎬 Soldiers from the airborne troops, GRU and Akhmat are working in concert. Bottom line: one enemy got killed (watch out, tough footage at 00:45), two surrendered alive. The stronghold was ours.

The range of smallarms fire does not exceed 20m. From the 7 AFU militants, 4 have already escaped, the remaining 3 are still trying to resist, but they are receiving targeted fire.

From a drone our guys drop "cheryomukha" - tear gas - precisely into the dugout. A precise shot is fired and 1 of the AFUshniks has been denazified.

The remaining two, looking into the copter camera, raise their hands. The spotter informs the stormtroopers, and they let the enemy get out and surrender. What follows is the finale of our squad's brilliant work.

This could easily have been footage from a computer game, but no - this is everyday warfare for the soldiers of the RF Armed Forces.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 On the Situation in #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut); pub. on 22 Sep 2023, 14:04 by @voenkorKotenok⚡️

🔹 At the moment, the main efforts of the Orchestra to encircle #Artyomovsk are concentrated to the north - this is the #Berkhovka - #Yagodnoye direction. There is stubborn fighting in the centre of #Berkhovka, but there is no control yet, the enemy is fiercely resisting.

🔹 Slowly, but the assault squads advance and take control. An unstoppable wave - after #Paraskoviyevka they set their sights on #Berkhovka, then #Yagodnoye. They haven't quite reached the latter yet, but fighting is going on in the outskirts.

🔹 The enemy forces in the city limits of #Artyomovsk have very little time left to get out of the firing bag. In another week (+-) this sack will gradually tighten, and then it will be impossible to reach the vehicles. Then the scattered remnants will retreat with loss of combat control.

🔹 Heavy fighting is taking place in the meat-packing plant area. Also, our troops have not yet entered the village of #Krasnoye (SW of #Artyomovsk), the enemy's positions there are quite strong.

📌 The situation in #Artyomovsk direction is such that losses of Wagner PMCs are very serious. And indeed they are given few shells. However, if we move forward as relentlessly, then by mid-March the issue of blockade of #Artyomovsk, its mopping up and squeezing out the enemy from the surrounding settlements should be resolved.

🇷🇺 The enemy does not have much time left. #Bakhmut is not "tse Ukraine". It was not and will not be!

History repeats itself. Biden said today: "I'm talking to you Russians. NATO and the West are not your enemy".
Only that it's something we have heard before but from German lines:

People of Moscow!
Germany did not want war.
The German army is not an enemy of the people. It fights only against communist anarchy and against criminals sitting in the Kremlin.
Your Jewish-Communist rulers have caused a war. They also forced the red pilots to bombard the defenseless capitals of Finland and Romania: Helsingfors and Bukaresht.
Hitler ordered his armed forces to give an immediate response to the daring raids of the Red bombers.
You now have to suffer because of the criminal policy of Stalin and his henchmen.
Rise up against the swindlers, they have oppressed you for 24 years. Drive them!
IF YOU LIQUIDATE THEM THEN GERMAN PILOT FLIGHTS WILL NOT REPEAT!

Did you see any similarities with the discourse of the West today and Nazi Germany?

🇵🇱🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Biden's speech in Warsaw: Ukrainians are good, Russians must die

US President Joe Biden spoke in Warsaw the day before in the best traditions of populism.

🔻 What did he say?

He mentioned everyone at once, especially praised Poland and Poles, stressed that Ukrainians are brave fellows and Russians continue committing crimes. There was no shortage of references to Poland's anti-communist history as a source of inspiration for Ukraine's resistance against Russia.

There were also lofty statements (especially for applause) like: "The democracies of the world have become stronger, not weaker, but the autocrats of the world have become weaker, not stronger". Quite banal and as simple as possible - just enough for a child to understand. By the way, there were plenty of them at Biden's speech, and of different races too: in the best traditions of American propaganda.

Was there anything interesting?

Perhaps the only passage in Biden's speech that stood out was the one about Moldova and its President Maia Sandu, who was present at the event. He indicated his support for Sandu, who is "leading the fight" for the freedom to move towards democracy and to join the fraternity of European countries.

Biden later held talks with the Moldovan president in which he expressed strong support for Moldova's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

A few hours later, the military is said to have appeared on the border between the Odessa region and Transdniestria, clearing the area at the Platonovo checkpoint.

🔻What does it matter?

Practically none. Much more was expected from the American president, standing inside the bulletproof glass cube: Biden talked a lot but so far did little.

Warsaw is counting on the Americans to build another base in the republic, bring more military and more equipment and armaments. For the ruling Law and Justice Party, Biden's visit will in any case have a positive effect on their plummeting popularity ratings, but the government is waiting for more decisive action. The bottom line so far seems to be that the visit to the Polish capital was a cover for preparations for a visit to Kiev.

🔻 So what next?

Ahead of Biden's meeting with the leaders of the Bucharest Nine (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia), from which significant decisions are again expected.

Shortly before Biden's visit, Duda launched a "diplomatic offensive": he visited NATO allies to convince them of the need to send "a larger military force to be deployed in this part of Europe" on the alliance's eastern flank.

According to the Polish president, such a force would act as "a deterrent against further expansion of Russian imperialism". Incidentally, the concept of NATO enlargement was once called a containment policy as well.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by US Milbloggers of "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

⚠️ Warning. ISW is a troll entity linked to the US regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.

💬 The text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: Today they the US amateur milbloggers load once again disgrace on themselves. Besides the usual filth, such as quoting Putin out of context, which falsifies the statements as a whole, as befits good disinformers, the morons miss the successes of the Nazi hordes south of Ugledar because of the filth they concentrate on. In addition, the military novices have missed the counterattack southwest of Krasnoye (near Bakhmut), which has been going on for days. Wagner lost territory, attacks are ongoing.

📌 This proves once again that they are just trolls and deceivers pretending to be military experts. 👉🚽

🔻 February 21 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin’s February 21 address to the Russian Federal Assembly did not articulate specific goals or intentions for the war in Ukraine, instead reinforcing several long-standing rhetorical lines in an effort to buy Putin more space and time for a protracted war.

▪️ Putin's announcement of Russia’s suspension of participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) captured more attention than the relatively boilerplate content of the rest of the speech.

▪️ US President Joe Biden gave a speech in Warsaw, Poland on February 21 to reaffirm US and NATO support for Ukraine after his trip to Kyiv.

▪️ Many Russian milbloggers condemned Putin’s failure to use his speech to forward new war aims, outline new measures to support the war, or hold Russian authorities accountable for their many military failures.

▪️ International journalists reportedly obtained the Kremlin’s classified 2021 strategy document on restoring Russian suzerainty over Belarus through the Union State by 2030.

▪️ Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee Central Foreign Affairs Commission Office Director Wang Yi met in Moscow on February 21 on deepening Sino–Russan cooperation.

▪️ The Financial Times (FT) reported that Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin’s international companies continue to garner hundreds of millions of dollars in profits despite long-standing Western sanctions.

▪️ Russian forces continued to conduct limited ground attacks northwest of Svatove and near Kreminna. Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted a limited counterattack near Kreminna.

▪️ Russian forces continued making incremental tactical gains in and around Bakhmut and continued ground attacks near Avdiivka.

▪️ Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces continue to reinforce and build fortifications in rear areas in southern Ukraine.

▪️ The Kremlin may be directing patronage programs between Russian regions and occupied Ukrainian territory to promote socio-economic recovery and infrastructure development.

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin further expanded unrealistic promises of benefits for Russian soldiers in his address to the Russian Federal Assembly.

Forwarded from War on Fakes
Fake news:
The Russian army launched a missile attack on Kramatorsk railway station in April 2022, killing more than sixty civilians. This was reported by the international organization Human Rights Watch (HRW).

The fact:
The missile strike was carried out by the Ukrainian army. We have already exposed this fake. The pictures from the scene clearly show that the train station was hit by a Tochka U missile, which has been decommissioned by the Russian army. In 2019, the last brigade of the Russian Armed Forces to retain Tochka U missiles was rearmed with Iskander missile systems.

After irrefutable evidence emerged that the attack on the train station had been carried out by Tochka U, the Western media unanimously stopped covering the topic. The serial number of the missile that killed civilians in Kramatorsk turned out to be identical to the numbers of the missiles used by the Ukrainian armed forces to bombard towns in Donbas.

In July, a number of Telegram channels published several videos of Tochka U complexes allegedly used by DPR and LPR people's militias. All of these videos were in poor quality. If the Russian Armed Forces had been actively using Tochka U, they would surely have been caught on better quality videos by journalists, war correspondents and bloggers from both sides of the conflict.

Ten months later, Western propaganda has decided to reintroduce last year's fiction, repeating arguments long refuted. Interestingly, the Ukrainian side, accusing Russia, claimed that the missile was fired at Kramatorsk from the territory of the Donbas republics. At the same time, the HRW report refers to the village of Kunya in the Kharkiv region as the location of the Tochka-U launch - a direction opposite to that previously claimed. This shows the inconsistency between the actions of the Ukrainian and European fakers.

The regular repetition by Ukrainian and Western propaganda of long-forgotten fakes shows a lack of fresh information that could be used for anti-Russian purposes.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 @Brussinf on the Situation in #Bakhmut; pub. 22 Feb 2023, 18:25⚡️

🔹
#Bakhmut Suburbs:
Most of the #Berkhovka settlement is under the control of the Wagner PMC. Heavy fighting continues in #Yagodnoye.

🔹 Meat-Packing Plant Area:
Wagner PMC units have levelled the front along Zarechnaya Street.

🔹 Zabakhmutka District:
Wagner PMC units occupied the entire line of five-storey buildings along Vatutina Alley and also entered Shchedraya Street, taking control of two blocks of private development.

🔹 Sobachevka District:
Units of the Wagner PMC occupied two blocks north of 2nd Gogol Lane.

⚠️#Bakhmut Sector Southwest: Unfortunately no info on #Krasnoye and the storming of Wagner positions by Territorial Defence militants as @Rybar reported in last 👉 SMO Chronicle of 21 Feb 2023, but the arrows are looking good.
