⚡️🇷🇺 🇺🇦🎯 Strike on the Location of the AFU's 60th Brigade in #Tsirkuny⚡️

🗓 Today on 18 May 2023, Russian troops hit the location of the AFU's 60th Mechanized Brigade in a residential building in #Tsirkuny. The entire settlement has long since been turned into one continuous positional area of Ukrainian formations.

Despite reports in the Ukrainian media about a blow to pensioners, this is not the case at all. Almost all residential buildings in the private sector are seized by units of the AFU. Specifically, there were up to two branches in this house. As a result of the strike, one Ukrainian militant was eliminated, five were wounded.

Coordinates: 50.082354, 36.380045

As of now:

Bakhmut - the situation in the city is bad. On the flanks - we continue the movement.

Avdiivka - heavy fighting continues in Pervomaiskyi.

Luhansk - positional battles, no changes.



The occupiers are trying with all possible forces to regain lost positions on the flanks of Bakhmut.

It was a very difficult day. But our soldiers were able to hold on at the cost of overwhelming force.

Moreover, it was possible to advance further 😎

Currently, the process of giving out gifts is underway. Caliber from 82 mm and above👹

👉👉👉 Ukrainian Post

At one time, Klishchiivka drank a lot of blood from the Defense Forces.

Now everything is coming to a logical conclusion.

Now she drinks the blood of the enemy.

But I repeat - there is no control yet. Take your time.

Everything will be Ukraine!

◾Jackson Hinkle, a popular US political streamer brings up the discussion about what is more important to the Biden administration. The American veterans of Iraq, Vietnam and Afghanistan aren’t well taken care of in the country. The suicide rates amongst former military personnels is shockingly high. Homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, PTSD – these’re just a few of many problems they’ve had to face these days, with no support from the authorities.

As Bakhmut is about to fall. Let's take this opportunity to remind ourselves what Zelensky said, because very soon, we will hear how unimportant Bakhmut was for Ukraine...and actually "that losing was winning because they killed 2 million Russians..."

In Zaporozhye Region the Ukrainian regime deliberately raised the water level of the Dnieper river using a cascade of dams in order to flood the minefields on its left side.

This was stated by the acting governor of Zaporozhye Region, Yevgeny Balitsky.

According to the Acting Governor, the authorities have developed plans for both evacuation and temporary relocation of the population in case of need.

🇲🇩 Una delegación del Presidente del Comité Militar de la OTAN, Almirante Robert Bauer, ha concluido hoy su visita a Chisinau.

▪️ Bauer declaró que la Alianza tiene la intención de seguir reforzando las capacidades de defensa de Moldavia mediante programas de ciberseguridad y formación.

Ohladciuc, por su parte, agradeció a la OTAN su ayuda en la lucha contra las "amenazas híbridas" (Iniciativa para el Refuerzo de las Capacidades de Defensa), que se refiere al creciente sentimiento prorruso entre la oposición moldava, así como en la PMR y Gagauzia.

▪️ Bauer también se reunió con el Primer Ministro Dorin Recean, quien destacó el aumento del presupuesto de defensa del país y la presencia del ejército moldavo en operaciones internacionales de mantenimiento de la paz.

📌 Según una encuesta reciente, la mayoría de los ciudadanos moldavos no quiere unirse a la alianza, pero esto no impide en absoluto que el gobierno achaque este sentimiento a la "influencia del Kremlin". Al contrario, Maya Sandu y sus partidarios piden cada vez más fondos a la OTAN para luchar contra la "amenaza rusa", artificialmente exagerada por los medios de comunicación.

🇲🇩 A delegation of the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Robert Bauer, today concluded its visit to Chisinau.

Bauer met with Defence Minister Anatoliy Nosatii and National Army Commander General Eduard Okhladciuc.

▪️ Bauer stated that the Alliance intends to further strengthen Moldova's defence capabilities through cybersecurity and training programmes.

Ohladciuc thanked NATO for its assistance in combating "hybrid threats" (Defence Capabilities Strengthening Initiative), which refers to the growing pro-Russian sentiment among the Moldovan opposition, as well as in the PMR and Gagauzia.

▪️ Bauer also met with Prime Minister Dorin Recean, who highlighted the increase in the country's defence budget and the presence of the Moldovan army in international peacekeeping operations.

According to a recent poll, the majority of Moldovan citizens do not want to join the alliance, but this does not stop the government from blaming "Kremlin influence" for this sentiment. On the contrary, Maya Sandu and her supporters are increasingly calling for NATO funding to fight the "Russian threat", artificially exaggerated by the media.

Up to 4.6 million people – in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen –may have died due to the ‘Global War on Terror’ according to the Cost of War project at Brown University.

Brown researchers estimate a million direct deaths – including both combatants and civilians – and another 3.6-3.7 million “indirect deaths” caused by the deteriorating economic, environmental, psychological and health conditions. In other words, the Empire so wrecked the countries it was “helping” that the death toll from fighting terrorists – many created by the invasions themselves – tripled.

The same research puts the US death toll at 7,000 troops and 8,000 contractors, not counting veteran suicides, or life-altering injuries.

CoW researchers themselves admit the impact of the wars is so vast and complex that they are ultimately unquantifiable, and that the estimates were generated on the basis of incomplete data as an “exercise” to “start to get a handle on what the scale of the problem really is.”

This goes a long way to explain why to most Americans, war is a game, an abstraction, something that happens “over there” – not something that should only be contemplated as the very last resort.
