๐บ๐ธUSA wants to send Ukraine ATACMS missiles for strikes on Crimea, The News Dept. has said.
The chairman of the US House Committee on Foreign Relations, Michael McCaul, has said that the US side is obliged to hand over operational and tactical ballistic missiles ATACMS for the needs of the Ukrainian army.
According to the politician, this way, the Ukrainians can "attack Crimea." McCaul added that "senior advisers" and Ukrainian officials had already spoken about the importance of attacking the Russian peninsula with ATACMS missiles.
McCaul condemned US President Biden's team for refusing to hand over the missiles to Ukrainian forces. The congressman called it cowardice, saying such actions were based on "false fears of escalation" and only served to prolong the armed conflict.

Serbian President Vucic on the current agenda of the West.
"What worries me is that there is no longer a rational approach to solving problems. I saw this at the meeting with the Big Five. No matter what I said and no matter what facts I gave, no one wanted to listen to me.
Reason no longer plays any role. They have their own agenda, and that is the defeat of Russia, and along the way, anyone who gets in their way will be mopped up" (c) Vucic

๐ซ๐ท President of France, Emmanuel Macron, has not ruled out the possibility of supplying Leclerc tanks to ๐บ๐ฆะฃะบัะฐะธะฝั, but under three conditions, BFMTV reports
At a press conference on Sunday night, alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Emmanuel Macron said that "nothing is ruled out" regarding the supply of Leclerc heavy battle tanks to Ukraine.
"Regarding Leclerc, I have asked the Minister of the Armed Forces to work on this issue. Nothing is ruled out," the French president said.
However, he specified that the decision would be based on three criteria. The first is "that it must not be escalatory." The second is "that it can provide real and effective support" to Ukraine, and the third is that it should not weaken France's "defense capabilities."

โผ๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆRussia has changed the tactics of its offensives - deputy head of Ukrainian intelligence
According to the deputy head of the Ukrainian intelligence service, Vadym Skibitskyy, Russian units are no longer marching in columns without cover and air defence, as it used to do at the beginning of the SMO; now 140-160 units comprising motorized rifle units, tanks, artillery, mortars and anti-tank weapons are created for assault actions.
The deputy head of the SDU noted that the Russian Army is changing the command and tactics of the units: "If a year ago it was BTGr, battalion tactical groups, now they have returned to the classic scheme - brigade, regiment, battalion."

Military expert doubts NATO plans to attack Russia
NATO countries will not engage in a direct confrontation with Russia. Military expert Vasily Dandykin has expressed this opinion to the Go and See channel.
Earlier, RIA Novosti columnist Viktoria Nikiforova wrote in her article that European armies are preparing for an invasion of Russia after the Russian Armed Forces liberate Soledar.
๐ฌ"They, as Ramstein showed, want (to do it. - Ed.) with the hands of Ukrainians, supplying them with equipment, often not brand new," Dandykin said.
According to him, NATO countries will limit themselves to sending mercenaries to Ukraine, but not more.
๐ฌ"There is a grinding of reserves, resources, among them there are mercenaries dying, especially Poles, they are most of all. Well, I think they will not go themselves, absolutely not from the point of view of the official war, they will use what they have," the military expert said.

A sniper pair from the Viking special forces unit on the front line.
One of the snipers is holding a Lobayev 'Stalingrad' rifle, the other is holding an American Barrett M107A1 rifle.
"The work is, after all, not simple." How do I say whatโs ongoingโฆwell, 21st century warfare, letโs say.
Drones are constant, that is, drones with thermal imaging.
And of course, with so much artillery, you canโt work in a position for very long.
So if I remain in place for a day, a little less or more, then itโs just watching. Recon work, without firing.
If work against live targets must be done, then of course itโs important to identify priority targets. "That is forward observers, command elements, and snipers, of course."

Gradual pressure - heavy fighting near Artemovsk continues
No radical changes have taken place here today. The Vagner PMCs gradually increase their pressure and continue moving deep into Artemovsk and around it in an arc from south to west.
Today, fighting was reported on the north-eastern and south-eastern outskirts in the Meat Factory and Zabakhmutka districts. In the south, where advances are also underway, reports from the ground indicate that a residential area on the Opytnoye side has been occupied.
Around the city in the north heavy fighting continues near Paraskoviyivka and Krasnaya Hora, where the AFU continue to resist stubbornly. To the southwest, there was an advance from Kleshcheyevka towards Krasnye (Ivanivske), located on the Artemovsk-Kostyantynivka highway.
Despite heavy losses, the enemy holds the town, and there is no reason to speak of any encirclement. Operational encirclement can be discussed when Paraskoviyivka is taken (i.e., the Artemovsk-Slaviansk highway is closed) and when at least fire control of the Artemovsk-Konstantinovka and Artemovsk-Chasov Yar routes is ensured.
