The refrigerator is one of the few things they can keep from their destroyed property. The Russian soldiers who occupied their house brought a refrigerator to the basement during the fighting with the Ukrainian armed forces. The invaders planned to bring the stolen refrigerator to Russia later. It never got to the point that the Ukrainian forces neutralized the Russian occupiers and regained control over Bucha.

🔺 Invaders force Ukrainian doctors to issue fictitious certificates so as not to fight further

This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to them, the Russian military is forcing doctors in the Zaporizhzhia region to issue fictitious certificates about the impossibility to continue military service for health reasons.

At the same time, a double threat arises for doctors: in case of refusal to provide a certificate, the occupiers threaten with reprisals. If a fictitious document is issued, the occupying commandant's office promises trouble.

⚡️ British military intelligence believes that the pace of Russia's offensive in Ukraine will slow down in the next few months, as the Russian army is running out of resources, – said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in an interview with the Sueddeutsche Zeitung

“Our military intelligence believes that in the next few months Russia may come to a point where it will no longer move forward because it has exhausted its resources. Then we have to help Ukrainians change the dynamics,” Johnson said.

“To the extent that the Ukrainians are able to launch a counteroffensive, it must be supported. With the weapons they demand of us,” the British prime minister added.

Asked what a victory for Ukraine or a defeat for Putin would look like, Johnson replied that at the very least, the pre-February 24 status quo must be restored and Russian troops forced out of the occupied Ukrainian territories.
