⚡️🇮🇱🇷🇺 Israel fears Russian influence in the Middle East and takes this into account when shaping its foreign policy.

This was stated by Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen in an interview with The Jerusalem Post.

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

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: The Amateur Bloggers are writing BS again. The Bakhmut garrison was never seriously threatened by encirclement because the defensive lines were successfully defended with the help of the reserves, for weeks. That is why the Ukrop is being knocked out of Bakhmut. Reading the outpourings does not make you any wiser either because real results are withheld. ISW is unable to cope with serious military assessments. 👉🚽

⚠️ 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.

🔻 May 19 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ A Ukrainian official stated that Russian forces have concentrated most of their available reserves to the Bakhmut area and slowed Ukrainian counterattacks in the past 24 hours.

▪️ Ukrainian counterattacks near Bakhmut have notably likely eliminated the threat of a Russian encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut and forced Russian troops to allocate scarce military resources to defend against a limited and localized offensive effort, as Ukrainian command likely intended.

▪️ Russian forces conducted another series of drone and missile strikes across Ukraine on the night of May 18 to 19.

▪️ President Joe Biden reportedly informed G7 leaders on May 19 that Washington will support a joint effort to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s and other fourth generation aircraft.

▪️ The Kremlin reportedly spent 3.1 trillion rubles (approximately $38.7 billion) in an undisclosed section of the Russian budget in 2023, likely to on fund the war and maintain occupied territories in Ukraine.

▪️ Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin announced that he will run for reelection as a member of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s United Russia Party for the first time, prompting criticism from select Russian ultranationalists.

▪️ A Ukrainian source reported that elements of two brigades of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) have deployed to border areas of Kursk Oblast in order to conduct counter-sabotage activities and provocations.

▪️ Russian sources claimed that Russian troops continued offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove line.

▪️ Russian forces continued to conduct ground attacks in the Bakhmut area and slightly increased their tempo of ground attacks along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line.

▪️ Ukrainian officials stated that Russian forces are preparing defenses by flooding fields in Russian occupied Zaporizhia Oblast.

▪️ Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev claimed that the Russian military has recruited 117,400 contract personnel in volunteer formations since January 1, 2023.

▪️ The Russian State Duma adopted the final reading of a draft law authorizing regional elections under martial law.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 On the Liberation of #Artyomovsk⚡️

🔹1. Zelensky's Regime called #Bakhmut - "Fortetsey Bakhmut". Today, this "fortress has fallen" despite all the efforts of more than 80 thousand groups that operated in this direction, not counting the transferred reserves from the #Kharkov, #Svatovo, Krasny #Liman, #Zaporozhye directions. The enemy resisted fiercely until the very end, despite heavy losses, but could not hold the city.

🔹2. We also suffered significant losses during the battles for the city. And PMCs "Wagner" and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Despite the joy of victory, remember today about those who fell in these months in the city and around it, so that this victory became possible.

🔹3. Despite all the Difficulties, problems, losses - the #Artyomovsk offensive operation ended with our victory. The enemy lost one of the key cities in the #Donbass, suffered terrible losses in manpower and equipment, was forced to adjust plans for other operations and at the same time received a powerful image blow.

🔹4. Of course, the Wagner PMC played a decisive role in the liberation of #Artyomovsk, whose stormtroopers broke through the enemy's echeloned defences in the most difficult conditions and pressed the enemy out of the city until today.

Now Wagner has 3 landmark victories - #Popasna, #Soledar and #Artyomovsk, not counting #Svetlodarsk, #Uglegorskaya TPP, etc. The case when powerful PR is supported by powerful deeds for which there is no shame.

As everyone understands, now the Wagner PMC is No. 1 in the market of private military companies not only in our country, but also in the world. The state has a very serious tool and it would be very desirable that hardware friction or personal ambitions do not prevent its further use in the interests of achieving victory in the war.

"Wagner" from 25 May go on vacation from #Artyomovsk - they fully deserve it.

🔹5. According to the Laws of the DPR, #Bakhmut has gone down in history - since 20 May 2023, the city is already, in fact and legally, #Artyomovsk. After the war, residents will have the opportunity to return to discussing the name of the city, but for now we are celebrating the liberation of #Artyomovsk.

No matter how banal it may sound, but the liberation of #Artyomovsk is the fulfillment of one of the constituent tasks of the 2nd stage of the SMO associated with the liberation of the LPR and the DPR. The task is still far from being solved - there are heavy battles ahead with the #NATO mercenary army, which will not give up other occupied Russian cities so easily.

🔹6. For #Russia, the Battle of #Artyomovsk has become one of the bloodiest and longest since the Great Patriotic War. The more valuable is the victory achieved.

🏵 Happy #Artyomovsk Liberation Day to Everyone!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 17:00 on 20 May 2023⚡️

🤚 After the Flight of the AFU's 60th and 93rd Mechanized Brigades, as well as the 241st Territorial Defence Brigade from the southwestern outskirts of #Bakhmut, the assault squads of the Wagner PMC completely liberated the city. By 25 May, the territories will be cleared from the remnants of Ukrainian formations.

🔹 Despite the long awaited success, the situation at the front is only approaching an active phase. The AFU lost tens of thousands of militants in the defence of #Bakhmut and #Soledar, but parts of the strategic reserve were not involved.

🔹 New Formations from the 9th and 10th Army Corps are in the rear areas and are preparing for an attack. In the radio intercepts of AFU militants, the third decade of May was noted as a possible beginning of the offensive.

🔹 In recent Weeks, artillery units have been preparing guns for intense shelling, ammunition has been brought to warehouses. And at the tactical level, combat orders have already been sent out.

📌 #Bakhmut has been liberated, and this victory will go down in history as one of the biggest battles. And it is his fall that can become a catalyst for the beginning of the long awaited AFU offensive.

Taking into account the flanking attacks of the AFU at #Bakhmut, clusters of formations on the #Zaporozhye and #SouthDonetsk directions, as well as on #Kupyansk - #Svatovso, it is there that the main enemy strikes should be expected.

⚔️🇬🇧🐮💩 The British Unintelligence has the Floor🔺

🤓🇬🇧🇩🇪🇺🇦: "Up to several battalions", is the Brit taking the piss? By the way, Wagner is currently clubbing the terrorists out of Bakhmuth. What's all this stupid talk about? Otherwise, the dumb Brit should rather deal with Zelensky's statemaents on Bakhmut. From the Russian side, the liberation of the illegally occupied territories is the goal anyway. 👉🚽

⚡️🐻🌙 🛌 Good Night (or Whatever)⚡️

🚨 Finally, I have to say, a nap within the break today. SITREP Briefly is very briefly today. Troll Hour, today with Ukraine Watch.

📌 RECAP is actual and updated, see pinned post.👆

📜 SITREP Briefly: Anything as usual and Wagner liberated Bakhmut. Now, let's troll! 👻

🃏Cartoon and Troll Hour: Instead from Juan, whom you should also follow, here his 👉 Channel Link, or the "Two Majors", link to their 👉 English Channel, tonight the Russian Military Expert Ukraine Watch has the troll floor. Enjoy tonight's nightcap! 👀🍄👇

🇺🇦 Twitch banned the neural network-generated stream, in which Zelensky spent 27 hours knocking on the doors of NATO and the European Union, but each time received new ridiculous reasons for refusal.

For example:

"Sorry, not today. We're listening to the monkeys."

"Sorry, not today. We're drinking the pool."

"Sorry, not today. We're smoking gum."

📆 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 muppets.
