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

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: The constant babbling about Ukrainian children is really shaking my nerves. And now some Nazi court is going crazy. So, the Ukrainian terrorists shoot at Russian-speaking children with Western weapons, which Putin therefore brings to safety, and for his nobility he is declared a war criminal. What a despicable pack. Scum, much more dangerous than the Nazis in the field because they corrupt whole societies with their lies. Crucifixion would be far too mild a punishment for their crimes. 👉🚽

⚠️ 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.

🔻 March 17 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during a state visit to Russia from March 20 to 22 likely to discuss sanctions evasion schemes and Chinese interest in mediating a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine.

▪️ Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed that Belarusian industry is supplying Russia electronic components, potentially supporting previous ISW assessments that Belarus may assist Russia to evade Western sanctions.

▪️ Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s rhetoric about Belgrade’s refusal to sanction Russia is softening.

▪️ The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Commissioner on Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova on March 17 for alleged war crimes involving the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.

▪️ Russian outlet Nezavisimaya Gazeta reported that it did not submit a press request to Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin concerning a rumored plot by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev against him.

▪️ Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks across the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations in and around Bakhmut.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations along the outskirts of Donetsk City.

▪️ Russian sources claimed that Russian forces repelled Ukrainian forces along the front line in southern Ukraine.

▪️ The Kremlin continues to call up reservists throughout Russia.

▪️ Russian authorities reportedly detained three Ukrainian partisans in occupied Zaporizhia Oblast.

⚡️🇺🇸⛓🧨 Donald Trump says that he will be detained on Tuesday⚡️

📌 The former US president has called for protests if arrested!

💬 According to the politician, he found out thanks to leaks from the prosecutor's office. On social media, Trump urged his supporters to protest if the arrest takes place. On what charges he would be charged, he did not say.

Trump also said he had committed no crimes and the case drawn up against him was based on "old and repeatedly disproven fairy tales". Trump has previously called on US authorities to stop funding the conflict in #Ukraine.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th Brigade

Information from colleagues in the area of Bakhmut:
"The faggots are acting in a rolling fashion. They have weakened in one place and added to it in another, maneuvering their reserves. In the city, the pressure has really eased, it's hard, but bearable. At the same time, they weakened in the city and added to it near Hryhorivka, Bohdanivka and Khromove. They weakened there and added more near Orikhove-Vasylivka. That is why there is such contradictory information. Some people think the pressure has eased, others think it has increased. The tactics are the same - pressure on the settlements while creating a threat on the flanks. Now the direction of their operational efforts is the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas canal."

⚡️🐻🌙 🛌 Good Night (or Whatever)⚡️

🚨 Finally, no fun tonight, but the 100th birthday message of a Russian veteran.👇 Juan subtitled this video recently. Here is the direct link to his 👉 Channel. Enjoy it! 👀

🍕On Pizza, I must confess that I am now addicted to deep-fried pizza. Therefore, after feeding the cats, I prepare a new dough for tomorrow. Oily is healthy because it makes the vitamins work, if I remember right. 😺

📌 RECAP is up to date again, see pinned post.👆In my opinion the point of view of the 46th Ukrop Brigade we posted earlier is more or less correct. Wagner is outnumbered, so the attack focus always changes to outmanoeuvre the Ukrop.

🗓 That's it for Today, see you soon if I wake up and also don't have a controlled blackout, which happens here from time to time thanks to Biden and his minions.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 18 Mar 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️

🎯 After an extremely successful overnight session of "geraning", the Russian army continues to work its way behind enemy lines. There have been strikes on a mercenary base in #Zaporozhye. Members of the "Foreign Legion" lived in a restaurant complex, where they eventually met with a buffet in the form of Russian shells. There were also strikes on AFU positions in #Kramatorsk and #Konstantinovka.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

🔹#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector:

➖ Wagner PMC fighters continue to advance in the direction of #Grigorovka.
➖ In #Artyomovsk, our forces have taken control of most of the territory of the AZOM plant. The "orchestrators" have also advanced in the south of the city and gained a foothold on the left bank of the Bakhmutka River in the area of the central market.
➖ Nevertheless, despite our successes in #Artyomovsk, the AFU are concentrating forces for a possible attempt to unblock the city.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

➖ The Russian army continues to advance in the #Avdeyevka sector, attempting to encircle the city. This is aided by the Russian Aerospace Forces, which are carrying out precise strikes against enemy targets. The militants are suffering heavy losses, which they are not ashamed to talk about.
➖ Furthermore, the RF Armed Forces continue their offensive in #Pervomayskoye.

🔹#SouthDonetsk Direction:

➖ The RF Armed Forces attack in #Maryinka.
➖ #Ugledar is now firmly associated with Russian marines from the 155th Pacific Fleet Brigade, whom the Ukrainian militants can only "bury" by word of mouth. In fact, the fighters are knocking out the Nazis from their strongholds around the fortified city of #Ugledar.

◾A joke from the frontlines, a man goes fishing and finds a magic lamp... Please watch this video to find the punchline!

◾Notice: in the original the Russian soldiers talks about a "magic fish" and not a "magic lamp", it's a well known child's story from Pushkin, I have adapted for a better understanding.
