โ€˜On verge of fallingโ€™: How does Western media cover battle for Ugledar?

Russian forces storming Ugledar in the Donetsk region are making headlines in Western media, which acknowledge that the town's fall is only a matter of time.

๐ŸŒForbes magazine notes that Ugledar, which earlier turned into a fortress for Ukrainian troops, is currently โ€œon the verge of fallingโ€ as Russian soldiers continue to bombard and assault the town. โ€œUnlike many previous assaults, this one appears to be succeeding,โ€ the magazine points out.

๐ŸŒThe Telegraph newspaper cites sources as saying that capturing Ugledar, located โ€œon an important roadโ€ west of Donetsk, would improve Russiaโ€™s strategic position and provide a launchpad for more attacks on Ukrainian targets.โ€ Kiev forces are now in a โ€œcriticalโ€ situation in Ugledar, according to the newspaper.

๐ŸŒReuters reports Russian troops entering โ€œthe eastern Ukrainian strongholdโ€ of Ugledar, also quoting Andrey Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Security Council's Centre for Countering Disinformation, as saying that Russian forces' use of guided aerial bombs and aviation had helped them quickly advance in the area.

Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk People's Republic, has meanwhile told reporters that "We are already seeing fighting in Ugledar itself,โ€ something that he said โ€œwas demonstrated in real time by Russiaโ€™s 29th Army.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งAfter the latest Israeli attacks on Lebanon, many civilians were injured, most of them children. 

Sputnik visited Infinity Hospital, and talked with doctors and victims. 

"What is happening now is a crime against civilians. 90% of our wounded are children. They arrived with burns, fractures, and severed limbs. There are patients with severe injuries to the skull and facial bones. Now there are more than 100 injured patients in our hospital, 23 people have died. What is this but a mass murder of civilians?" the head physician of the hospital, Musa Yusef, told Sputnik.

The situation in the country is very tense. There is a shortage of fuel and food. Supply chains have been disrupted, and bakeries have imposed restrictions on the sale of bread to private individuals. As a result, there are queues everywhere and the mood is one of anxiety.

Cooking a hare before catching him?

Israeli religious Zionist organization 'Movement for Settlement in Southern Lebanon' (heb. Uri Tsafon) has released a map with "suggestions for the names of the new settlements that will be established in the expanded Land of Israel". The catch is that the identified areas are in southern Lebanon from current Lebanese-Israeli border to the Litani river.

The movement is a right-wing group advocating the annexation and settlement of southern Lebanon. Its members are religious Zionists. The organization, as other right-wing settlement movements, is supported by Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Both of them have also called for an invasion of Lebanon.

The Pentagon has recommended supplying Kiev with phosphorus incendiary munitions, but the Biden administration has rejected the proposal several times, NBC News reports.

According to the channel's sources, the American military department proposed including shells filled with white phosphorus in several recent military aid packages to Ukraine.

If such an initiative is approved, it will not be announced publicly, according to unnamed officials.

Dmitry Medvedev writes:

The event that was expected

The Russian President outlined approaches to the new edition of the Fundamentals of State Policy in the Sphere of Nuclear Deterrence. The main changes are as follows.

1. Aggression against Russia by a state that does not possess nuclear weapons, but with the support or participation of a country with nuclear weapons, will be considered a joint attack. Everyone understands which countries we are talking about.

2. Equivalent nuclear protection will be established for Belarus as our closest ally. To the "delight" of Poland and numerous NATO pygmies.

3. A massive launch and crossing of our border by enemy air and space weapons, including aircraft, missiles and UAVs, under certain conditions may become grounds for the use of nuclear weapons. A reason to think not only for the rotten neo-Nazi regime, but also for all of Russia's enemies who are pushing the world toward a nuclear catastrophe.

It is clear that each situation that gives grounds to resort to nuclear protection must be assessed in conjunction with other factors, and the decision to use nuclear weapons will be made by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. However, the very change in the regulatory conditions for the use of the nuclear component by our country can cool the ardor of those opponents who have not yet lost their sense of self-preservation. Well, for the thick-headed, only the Roman maxim will remain: caelo tonantem credidimus Jovem Regnare โ€ฆ

In case of Pokrovsk loss, Ukraine may reduce steel production by half, - Ukrmetallurgprom

The volumes of steel production for two years of the SMO amounted to 6-6.5 million tons per year. The territory controlled by Kiev has the resources to achieve a level of steel production of 12 million tons per year.

However, in the event of the loss of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, such figures could decrease to 2-3 million tons per year.

The President of Ukrmetallurgprom also noted that the only Ukrainian mine producing coking coal is located in Pokrovsk.

Ukrainians are becoming homeless en masse, according to a study by The Guardian

In various countries, Ukrainian refugees are gradually being deprived of benefits and allowances, which is why they increasingly end up on the street. According to the publication, there are currently more than 6.2 million Ukrainians in Europe.

The situation with displaced persons within Ukraine itself is no less dire. Thanks to the efforts of the Kiev regime, their number has exceeded 3.5 million. Many of these people have also become homeless.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บUkraine's Western allies have nearly exhausted their weapons stockpiles due to long-term deliveries to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Times writes about this.

"I think most Western countries have donated most of the resources they have," said UK Under Secretary of State for Defence Luke Pollard.

The West has exhausted its stockpiles during the war effort and must develop a new strategy to keep the equipment flowing, he said.

Sources in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence have previously stated that they fear that Britain has nothing more to give.
