📌 It is reported from the field that units of the Wagner organisation have begun to develop an offensive against Soledar from the south, from the direction of the village of Bakhmutskoye. 

There have already been some successes. A school building near the local village council has been taken under control,which other units could not do for the past four months.

Now apparently all the company's efforts will be focused on destroying the grouping of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Bakhmut, Soledar, and their environs.

UK's £3.2 billion warship has now spent more time being repaired in docks than it has at sea : The Times

The UK Navy's largest ship, the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, has spent 270 days on repairs since 2019, compared to 267 days at sea.

😄 Anyway, if it's not being repaired, you can say that it's a "fixed submarine."

NY Times : In recent weeks, Nord Stream AG, which is majority-owned by a government-controlled company, has begun pricing out the cost to repair the pipe and restore gas flow, according to a person briefed on the work who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about it publicly. One repair estimate starts at about $500 million, the person said.

According to various sources, the Ukrainian militants of the 35th Marine Brigade AFU defending in the Maryinka direction are deliberately deceiving the commanders in order to save their lives.

They report to the brigade commanders about their losses while significantly overstating the death toll. By doing so, they are trying to convince their commanders that they have lost their combat effectiveness and need to be replaced urgently.The 35th Marine Brigade was manned mainly by mobilised people from the western regions of Ukraine. By withdrawing Westerners from the areas of fiercest fighting, such as Marinka, the Ukrainian command is plugging gaps in the defences with natives of Russian-speaking regions.

This was the case, for example, with mobilised men from Kherson. They were sent into the meat grinder to atone for surrendering the city to Russian troops at the very beginning of the operation. Apparently, it was the Marines of the 35th Brigade who replaced the Kherson men.

In general, the Ukrainians and their western masters hope that Russia will run out of missiles and will not be able to make new ones because no one will supply Russia with semiconductors due to the sanctions imposed by the West, but they are wrong. Countries sell semiconductors to Russia, and even more than before the sanctions were imposed. The world doesn't give a damn about western sanctions.

FIFA would not stand in way of Russian switch to Asia – media

Russia is contemplating a move to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC)

FIFA will not impose barriers on Russia’s potential qualification for the 2026 World Cup if it completes a move from European football governing body UEFA to its Asian equivalent, according to a report.
UEFA has maintained a months-long suspension of Russian football teams at all levels in the wake of the onset of the SMO.

This has led to the Russian Football Union (RFU) opening the door to a potential switch from UEFA to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), where it would presumably be more welcome and avoid similar bans.

Troll force is strong in this one...

Part 1
Russia dismembered, Crimea seized, and missiles running out - "all-seeing" Ukrainian intelligence chief gives PR interview

In the course of the conversation, the "almighty intelligence officer" Kyrylo Budanov said that the AFU would occupy Crimea before next summer, Russia was "almost out of missiles," and no traitors had been discovered inside the GUR since 24 February.

It is most interesting to consider the interview from Mr. Budanov's PR perspective. Journalists who ask questions emphasize the authority of the "rozvidnik" from the outset, mentioning how he guessed the date of the start of the SVO. Budanov echoes the interviewers by referring to the fact that he has "all the information" in his hands.

The journalists then casually throw in a question about a map of "dismembered Russia," which is supposedly hanging on Budanov's wall. There are no general plans with the map, which casts doubt on whether the interviewers actually saw it there, but it does not matter; the main thing is to feed the Ukrainian public with how Budanov wants to dismember Russia. To have an additional effect on the immature minds of the unregenerate people, the journalists also attached to the material a photo with a model of the sunken Moskva cruiser in the intelligence officer's office.

Part 2
Following such ideological insinuations, Budanov and the journalists broadcast the standard Ukrainian propaganda thesis - that Russia "has almost run out of missiles" and cannot produce them normally anymore and that there are no "zradniks" in the Ukrainian authorities.

They end the interview, as is customary among Ukrainians, on a "people's note." Budanov turns out to be a real "servant of the people" - he goes to shops, restaurants, and other places without guards. And, of course, he waits for everyone on holiday in Crimea.

Budanov's interview is high-quality propaganda work, which rather gently and unobtrusively raises his profile in the eyes of the population. And this "rozvidnik" may yet be helpful because Budanov is a man with great political ambitions who does not mind taking the top chair at Bankova. Therefore, despite the falsity of most of the information voiced by the "rozvidnik," the material with him is still worth paying attention to - there is much to learn there.
