⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🤚 The Head of the Wagner PMC, Evgeny Prigozhin, picked up a Pen and a Map and devoted 17 Minutes to the educational Program on the Situation in the #Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction⚡️

📌 If we discard
the public conflict between him and the Russian Ministry of Defence, as well as remarks on this matter, then the video is worth watching at least for the sake of simple and understandable things:

🔹 The difference in approaches to the conduct of hostilities between the RF Armed Forces and the AFU;

🔹 general plan for the offensive of the RF Armed Forces and the probable nature of the of the RF Armed Forces' actions, the main threatened areas and directions;

🔹 the bet that is made in the Russian General Staff on the preservation of settlements, and not key points, based on the terrain;

🔹 eternal problems with the lack of initiative in the RF Armed Forces and reports on the absence of problems.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 Strike on #Ternopol Railway Repair and Mechanical Plant⚡️

🗓 At around 22:00 on 13 May 2023
, the RF Armed Forces began to strike with cruise missiles and UAV "Geran" at objects in central and western #Ukraine. Confirmed hits in #Ternopol and #Kiev.

🔎 Rybar's Team managed to establish one of the affected objects - this was done thanks to sources on the ground, not GEOINT. The Network has an abundance of fake photos from #Iran, deliberately planted by Ukrainians. Therefore, we cannot say with confidence that the photo presented on the card was taken in #Ternopol.

📌 But we can confirm with reference to our own agent sources that a successful blow was struck at the #Ternopol Railway Repair and Mechanical Plant. Most likely, the plant's facilities were used for the restoration and modernization of military equipment.

Coordinates: 49.576161, 25.583709

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 13 May 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️

🫡 Two Mi-8 helicopters, a Su-35 fighter jet and a Su-34 bomber were shot down in our airspace over the #Bryansk region today. Nine crew members were killed. Most likely, the pilots were caught in a planned ambush by enemy air defence. This is a huge loss for Russian aviation. And it's not about the planes, it's about the most experienced personnel, who can't be brought back.

⚔️ The Situation on the Fronts over the past Day:

🔹
#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector:

▪️ The AFU attacked and occupied our positions near #Berkhovka, #Kleshchiyevka and #Kurdyumovka. Meanwhile, the "Orchestrators" continue to gradually advance in the western part of #Artyomovsk. At the moment, the militants control less than two square kilometres of the city's territory.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ The Russian army is advancing on #Avdeyevka from the direction of #Opytnoye. Also ours are advancing in the north and west of #Maryinka. In addition, Russian fighters attacked near #Novomikhaylovka.

💥 This Morning the Russian Army launched strikes on the Cathion Plant in #Khmelnitsky. The facility had been serving as an ammunition depot for the AFU in recent months. So the huge explosion and detonation of the ammunition came as no surprise to anyone. And by evening ours had hit targets in #Ternopol, with a major fire at the site of the arrivals.

Zelenskiy visited Rome wearing a jumper witt the sign of the OUN, Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, responsible for thousands of deaths of civilians during WWII, Nazi and Holocaust collaborators.

This sign is the official Ukrainian "trident" but it has a sword or blade in the middle of it, and it was used by Ukrainian Nazis during the WWII.

In Bakhmut, several buildings were taken by us on the western outskirts.

On the flanks, our advance was somewhat slowed down yesterday due to massive counterattacks by the occupiers. At night it was slightly corrected....

The fighting continues. We are pushing the enemy!

Ours are counterattacking in the area of Bakhmut (on the flanks), Vugledar, and in the Svativ and Pologiv directions.

But there is one nuance - these are tactical level operations. That is, these are small advances.

The enemy tries to respond and withdraw reserves to counter it.

So for now, it's all mostly stuck in counter-fighting. Although there are successes.

But we have patience. Everything will be, you just have to wait.

The difficult battles in Pervomaisky do not abate. The enemy made little progress. It is also difficult near Nevelskyi.

Near Oleksandropol, the rascals were once again hit with metal and left.

In the Vodyanny-Opytny district - counter-fighting.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian Post
Today, the fighters of PMC "Wagner" advanced in the "Nest" in various directions up to 550 meters.

The total area of the territories that came under control is 216,000 meters.

The enemy controls 1.78 square kilometers. Of the 48 buildings, 29 are occupied.

The artillery of the PMC "Wagner" and the personnel torn from Bakhmut were forced to plug a hole in the Berkhovsky reservoir in order to cover the flank until the city was liberated.

🇪🇸Vehículos blindados turcos Otokar Cobra II en servicio con el ejército ucraniano. Anteriormente, no se informó sobre el suministro de estas máquinas, pero en abril, se vio un tren lleno de "Cobras" nuevas en la ciudad fronteriza de Rumania.

Aparentemente, otro "contrato privado", en el que las autoridades turcas, por supuesto, no tienen nada que ver.

The use of the British cruise missile (CR) Storm Shadow has become a new challenge for our troops during the special operation - first of all, air defense units.

And in the use of cruise missiles, a fairly obvious parallel can be drawn with the American MLRS HIMARS . As is the case with the Storm Shadow now, so then the high-precision Himars were an unpleasant surprise , and the danger from a new type of weapon was underestimated.

Yes, our fighters eventually adapted to regular launches from American MLRS. But while the Russian information field recognized the threat posed by American weapons, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to inflict significant damage on logistics centers, warehouses and bridges in the Kherson region , jeopardizing the supply of the group on the right bank.

Yes, now air defense crews shoot down almost all missiles from HIMARS and M270. But the Ukrainian formations, or rather the countries of the West, have already completed local tactical tasks: they left part of the Kharkov and Kherson regions of the RF Armed Forces .

🔻Now the situation is similar to the summer of last year. In the Russian information field, they hastened to reassure everyone and declare that there would be no great danger from cruise missiles, and everyone was ready for them. The two-day strikes on Luhansk show that this is not entirely true.

At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are testing British weapons in practice, striking at the positions of the Russian army at a distance from the front line, roughly repeating the tactics with HIMARS.

With each time, with each accurate strike and the approach of a full-scale offensive, the number of such attacks will increase. And the sooner we accept this reality without loud statements that are not backed up by actions, the sooner we will deal with this threat.

Interesting statements by Zelensky to the Pope:

▪️ Russia itself attacked the Kremlin to justify its actions in Ukraine to the public.

▪️ With all due respect to His Holiness, we don't need mediators in negotiations, we need a just peace.

▪️ More than 70% of Belarusians are against russia and support Ukraine.

I will never understand doomers. What can possibly be achieved by going around and saying "Woe to us, all is lost?" If it's a shaming tactic to influence people who can actually do something about it, well, it doesn't work, does it?

The only explanation I can come up with is, it's a misguided attempt at virtue-signaling. Dooming as victimhood-by-proxy, because victimhood is after all the coin of the virtual West. Except all it gets one is pity at best, while prompting gloating derision from one's enemies. I'd understand it as a tactic to make the enemies overconfident, but if we're being honest, their hubris is already dialed up to 11.

So again, what good does it do? Do you see me trying to argue with Putin, or Biden's handlers, or Shoigu, or the EU here? No, because it's pointless. Even if some of these folks weren't beyond the reach of arguments at this stage, my Telegram channel isn't going to reach them — and they sure as hell won't change their mind as a result. This is the real world, not some Hollywood fable.

[EDITED FOR CLARITY: Obviously, Putin and Shoigu are not in the same category here as "Biden's handlers or the EU" when it comes to being open to arguments. One group may be amenable to reason but sure as hell won't take advice from a random guy on Telegram, while the other lives in a delusional la-la-land of their own making. But in purely practical terms, me trying to give either any advice is utterly pointless. ]

What I do here is try to make sense of the world for both myself and those of you reading. Right now I don't think I can do more — and I hope you never expect anything less.

The US continues to buy nuclear fuel from Russia while calling for more anti-Russian sanctions. — reports Newsweek.

Newsweek pointed out that no restrictions were imposed against nuclear power. The reason is that not all countries are capable of enriching uranium. And Russia has large stockpiles of uranium and experience in turning it into enriched uranium for use as nuclear fuel.

According to the publication, Rosatom provides a quarter of the US nuclear fuel and the US government is still willing to pay for it. In 2022, it took in a billion dollars for this purpose.
