❗️ Since the beginning of January, dozens of cases of explosions on their own anti-tank mines have been recorded in the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artyomovsk, set in case of a breakthrough into the city of Russian troops.

Explosions by Ukrainian units have become more frequent due to the fact that a single map of minefields around Artemovsk (Bakhmut) still does not exist. The overwhelming majority of sappers from the engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who mined the roads before the start of the assault on Artyomovsk, died at the front, went missing or were captured along with documents and maps of the installation of anti-tank barriers.

The situation is aggravated by the lack of information exchange between units: territorial defense battalions set up their own, and combined arms units set up their own minefields.

Extensive mining not only hinders the movement of mobile groups and heavy equipment near the line of clashes, but also complicates the evacuation of the wounded, the delivery of ammunition and supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

❗️From today, the embargo on oil products from Russia comes into force. From day to day the rise in price of gasoline and diesel fuel at European gas stations will begin. The Times magazine writes that the consequences of the restrictions will be more than felt by the entire European business.

“Since the start of the special operation in Ukraine, the price of diesel fuel has jumped sharply (over the year, prices at gas stations rose from 1.66 euros per liter to 2.14 euros per liter), and the growth may continue. And since almost everything people buy is transported by diesel trucks, the rise in the price of this energy carrier fuels inflation.”

Problems are expected not only in the European consumer market - it will become more expensive to maintain Ukraine. Rising diesel prices mean it will become more expensive to fill tanks. "Leopards" - they do not work on marshmallows.

Zin Note: Running tanks on marshmallows would probably be quite a bit more expensive. Although, I can't speak to their energy density...

The head of North Ossetia, Serhiy Menyailo, who came under fire in the Zaporozhye region, along with correspondents from our agency and Channel One, said that the fighters in the region withstand the shelling from the Armed Forces of Ukraine with dignity.

“I’m sure that the shelling was not under me, but at the advanced positions. Both sides carry out fire missions. The purpose of my trip is to support the guys. <…> We are all from the same republic and we all know each other, especially since I saw off all those who were mobilized,” — concluded Menyailo.

🔴 Arestovich predicts trouble for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) will not be able to avoid a “bloody fight” with the Russian army during a special operation. This was stated by the former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich.

📝 “ Some troubles we, apparently, cannot be avoided. A painfully large group is gathering, exceeding us both in numbers and in weapons. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to avoid a “bloody fight ,” Arestovich said.

✅ As for just "some troubles," Arestovich is being modest. The goal of the SMO is the complete demilitarization of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

❗️The Sun newspaper quotes the words of the ex-commander of the combined forces of Great Britain, who believes that in the event of a conflict with Russia, the British will be kaput.

“To rebuild the army so that it can cope with a Russian surprise attack, an additional £3 billion (about 260 billion rubles) will be required this year and every year for the next ten years. <...> The British army is also experiencing a personnel shortage. And in the event of a military clash with Russia, the stocks of shells in the British army will run out in one day.

🇺🇦 Attack on the location of Ukrainian forces in the building of the Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy

This morning, the RF Armed Forces launched several strikes on Ukrainian army facilities in Kharkiv - one of the targets was the KhNUGK building on Marshal Bazhanov Street . Judging by the photographs, several floors in the east wing of the building were destroyed as a result of the impact.

In the building of the university, with a high degree of probability, there was a deployment point for Ukrainian formations - enemy fighters often use educational institutions for their own needs throughout Ukraine.

At the same time, according to some reports, foreign advisers or high-ranking Ukrainian officers could be at the facility. Even before the arrival of firefighters, employees of the SBU arrived at the building, taking the situation under control.

British intelligence believes that the Russian military is preparing to "catch" Western tanks, which are expected to appear in the war zone in Ukraine.

For this purpose, subdivisions are allegedly specially formed, the main task of which will be to "produce" serviceable Western-style tanks for their further study.

Note that a large reward has already been announced for the downed and captured Leopards, Challengers and Abrams.

Zin Note: I promise, that's the last Starship Troopers reference today. Maybe.

Now the battle is on the eastern outskirts of the village.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Zelensky himself turned to me with a request for negotiations with Russia , - said former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett

“He called me and asked me to contact Putin. At that time, Zelensky was sure that his days were numbered and that he was going to be destroyed. It was not difficult to remove him, ” said Bennet, answering a question from journalist Hanoch Daum.

The politician added that Putin believed that the opportunity to negotiate a ceasefire exists, and as a result, Bennett began to act as an intermediary.

Regarding prisoners performing tasks within the framework of the SMO.

If a person, regardless of what was done earlier, atoned for his guilt with his blood and deeds, then he must be a worthy member of society. If yesterday he was convicted, and today he joined the ranks, but how many of those who were serving their sentences went to the NVO, but, unfortunately, did not return? These people also gave their lives for the defense of our Motherland, they are heroes, this should be treated normally.

Today, the truth must be told that many of the prisoners could have stayed to serve their sentences, some had a few months left, but they got up and went there. Someone gave his life, someone was injured, and someone managed to remain intact, they should be thanked, they are equal members of society. There is another point in the fact that most of those who returned home expressed a desire to stay with their families for some time, and then return to the front to continue working in the Wagner PMC.

‼️🇺🇦💀 Massacre in Artyomovsk: A soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lives on the front line in Bakhmut for 4 hours, Kyiv leaves the mobilized for slaughter.
This was stated by a Kyiv journalist after a conversation with the soldiers who are taking out the Ukrainian military. She clarified that we are talking about untrained fighters and thus confirmed that mobilized Ukrainians are being massively thrown to the slaughter.
- It seems to me that [a soldier lives] longer, - the VSU officer answers her 😂
