Many Russian channels started sharing info about a change in the status of SMO and mobilization. We considered this news to be unreliable. It seems it was a good call.

EXPERT: NATO FORCES PROBE CRIMEA'S DEFENCE
NATO forces, backed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, are probing the defense of Crimea and Sevastopol, expert Volodymyr Orlov has said.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces may organize, with the help of drones, a massive strike on critical infrastructure facilities in Crimea and Sevastopol, enlisting the support of NATO intelligence assets. Vladimir Orlov, an expert at the Centre for Political and Military Journalism, told Channel 360.

One should understand that the failure of the latest attack by the Ukrainian fighters demonstrates that Russia's air defense systems are on full alert. However, Kiev has also received a new batch of strike drones from Western partners.

Some of the UAVs may well break through the Russian air defenses, taking them by surprise and employing cloaking techniques. Sevastopol has long attracted the attention of the AFU and NATO forces, who are probing Crimea's defenses.

"The enemy, with long-range weapons, will try to strike the entire depth of our operational and tactical structure, including those facilities that are in Crimea and Sevastopol. Everyone should understand and accept that we are conducting a special operation. Such attempts will be made," the expert explained.

Russia's foreign trade surplus reaching $282.3 bln in 2022 — Central Bank

The foreign trade surplus in Russia soared more than 1.6 times year-on-year and amounted to $282.3 bln in 2022, the Central Bank of Russia reported on Tuesday.
The current account surplus surged almost twofold to $227.4 bln in the reporting period.

"The increase of the current account surplus is associated with significant expansion of the positive balance of goods and services as a result of growth of the cost volume of supplies, driven by a rise in global prices for main commodities of Russian exports," the regulator said.

Ukrainian channels report that the chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, is asking Zelensky to start withdrawing troops from Seversk, which has lost its supply routes and will become the next target of the Russian army.

"The commander-in-chief, Zaluzhny, considers it pointless to hold the city, which currently does not play a role in strategic terms, and its retention will cost a lot of forces for the Armed Forces of Ukraine." 

We may soon hear reports of an operational encirclement of Seversk.

German General Erich Fahd said in a column for Emma that no amount of Western arms supplies would change the balance of power in the EEU, and Russia would soon occupy the entire Donbass.

"Militarily, we are in a stalemate situation that cannot be resolved by military means. Incidentally, US Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley agrees. He said that no military victory for Ukraine could be expected and that negotiations were the only possible way out," the German general said.
