Ukrainian soldiers crossing over to Russian side

More and more Ukrainian soldiers in the Zaporozhye direction are opting to come over to the Russian side, Vladimir Rogov, leader of the We Are Together with Russia movement, said on Tuesday.

"More and more guys are crossing over to the other side, finding a way to do it," he said in an interview with the Solovyov Live television channel.
He said that he is speaking not about one or five soldiers but there are more than ten of them, who "don’t want to fight, kill, and ultimately, die for the [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky regime." "Our soldiers at defense posts are also perplexed to see so many people who say they want to surrender," he added.

According to Rogov, anti-retreat units have been formed in the Ukrainian army, mostly from militants of nationalist battalions and special forces. "They are not deployed to the first line of engagement, they are deployed to the second and third lines," he said. "Notably, in the Zaporozhye direction, anti-retreat units - punitive structures - are made of militants of the Azov nationalist battalion (outlawed in Russia as a terrorist organization - TASS), Kraken and other Nazi units, which terrorize territorial defense soldiers in Zaporozhye."

He told TASS earlier that militants from the Kraken and Azov nationalist battalions deployed to the contact line in the Zaporozhye region as anti-retreat units have killed seven and wounded 18 soldiers of Ukrainian territorial defense units since mid-December. The Ukrainian side says, however, that these soldiers had been killed in combat operations, he added.

Our artillery is very active today on the Svatovo-Kreminna front. 

In conjunction with reconnaissance, they are identifying and destroy enemy firing points. In the Makiivka area, artillerymen from the 3rd motorized rifle division killed a couple of pickup trucks with personnel trying to slip through the shelled area.

An interesting situation occurred yesterday. Attackers of the 3rd motorized rifle division went to attack, but at that moment, the reconnaissance team reported that Ukrainians also advanced their combat orders and prepared to attack. Our troops withdrew, waited until the AFU soldiers began to attack, covered them with artillery, and captured the enemy stronghold.

They began to equip their positions and our freshly dug-in corpse of the AFU soldier, painted with tattoos like an art gallery. On scrutinizing this work of art, we found a tattoo of the Kraken battalion. It is unclear if this is a Kraken fanboy or a fighter of those bastards. He won't say anything himself, of course.

The unemployed Arestovich, on Feygin's traditional streamer, claimed that after the appointment of Army General Valeriy Gerasimov as commander of the joint grouping of forces, the Russian Armed Forces started using agit leaflets.

Another lie, leaflets have been used for a long time and we published a video of the use of leaflets on the front line in the summer of 2022.

Ukrainian air defense system is to blame for the Dnipropetrovsk tragedy because the X-22 missile could not have destroyed the building - "War on Fakes."

A fallen Ukrainian air defense missile of the C-300 system, which is in service with the AFU, caused the tragedy in Dnipropetrovsk, the Telegram channel "War on Fakes" writes. According to their analysis, the footage showed the C-300 missile falling or veering off course, which did not have a self-destruct device.

The information that the impact on the entrance of the building was from an X-22 cruise missile cannot be confirmed by the footage from the traffic cams of passing cars. Not at all; if we compare the recordings taken from the vehicle, which was 820 meters in a straight line from the destroyed entrance, and take the house 400 meters away as a reference point, we can calculate the height of the frame as 200 meters. If, as the experts of the "War on Fakes" point out, we relate this to the size of the frame using trigonometry, it turns out that the missile enters the frame at a height of about 200 meters or less.

So there is no way it could have been a cruise missile because its speed is at least 1000 m/s; the missile simply could not have entered the camera lens for 0.52-0.56 seconds, assuming the footage is taken in 25 frames - the standard shooting frequency for vehicle recorders, writes "War on Fakes."

One of the arguments may also be the statement of the recently dismissed advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President's office, Arestovich, who, on the day of the terrible tragedy, stated that a Ukrainian air defense missile caused it and that he received the information from a source close to the AFU.
