Sinel'nikovsky Rayon (District) in the heart of the Dnepropetrovsk—Zaporozhye—Pavlograd triangle appears to be one massive staging area for the offensive south toward Melitopol that Ukraine is planning for the April-May period. It is swarming with Ukrainian troops. This is one of the key areas that the Russian Army has been targeting with missile strikes over the past week.

From Artyomovsk they report that the whole day and to this very second, intense hostilities continue with the use of the entire spectrum of weapons.

Our aviation is actively working - rocket and bomb strikes are constantly carried out, and our artillery practically without stopping covers the positions, locations, and supply roads of the AFU throughout the Artyomovsk agglomeration.

There are close shooting battles directly on the outskirts and in the city itself.

Today a decisive assault on Artemovsk began, which is very close to returning home to Russia!

For several weeks now, Slovakia has been refusing to allow German arms from Ukraine, which are to be repaired there, to enter its territory.

This was reported by the German editorial board Business Insider, citing government sources in Berlin.

In mid-December, Kraus-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), on behalf of the German Armed Forces, set up a repair center near the Slovak town of Michalovce on the Ukrainian border to repair broken howitzers, Gepard anti-aircraft guns or MARS systems.

But Slovakia does not allow the weapons to cross the border and enter the repair center, reportedly citing unresolved legal issues, including import duties.

According to the publication, vehicles with 15 defective self-propelled howitzers are waiting in front of the Slovak border to continue their journey.

🇺🇦Head of  CNBO: "The collapse of the Soviet Union was the work of Ukrainians".

Why didn't he say that for 30 years Ukraine has been parasitizing on the industrial base it inherited from the Soviet Union, selling it off and selling it for scrap? That Ukraine traded the warplanes it inherited from the USSR, and ended up with an ancient air fleet. Now it is begging. I forgot to say that Ukraine has killed off its fleet and therefore is locked in ports. I forgot to say a lot of things.

But the main thing is that Danilov did not develop the main idea: "Ukrainians have ruined the USSR, and now they are ruining Ukraine itself". Because everything that is happening now in Ukraine is the handiwork of the Ukrainian government, which since 91 tried to threaten Russia, infringed on the Russians, and befriended strangers against their own. And now a simple citizen of Nikolaev and Kiev is paying the price.

🇺🇸Jeff Monson renounces US citizenship in favor of Russia

❤️The MMA veteran chose the “Russian soul” – this is what he calls the support and community of our people.
“There are good people in America, but the country itself is soulless. For me, it is still a shock - how they treat their neighbor here. Perhaps I was partly influenced by American propaganda.
I think this attitude is born from a difficult past - people need to support each other. This is the Russian soul for me, ” said Monson.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin called on parliamentarians to assess the damage caused by the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. The analysis of the financial damage caused has gained additional relevance after the Seymour Hersh investigation, in which the United States and Norway are declared responsible for what happened. The international community is in favor of a detailed investigation, which means that estimates of losses can turn into amounts of compensation to the injured party.

The analysis of financial damage may vary due to the terminology used, for this reason, we will list each item. Nord Stream became the longest gas pipeline in the world, but the funds were spent not only offshore, but also on land infrastructure. Distribution centers, and pumping stations connected to German overground gas pipelines - all this stopped working after the terrorist attacks. $14.8 billion was spent on the implementation of the Nord Stream 1 project, and $11 billion on Nord Stream 2.

The main financial losses were incurred not from the deformation of pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, but from the paralysis of economic activity. Up until the time of the terrorist attacks, it was physically possible to restore supplies to Europe in the future - now you can forget about it. The operating gas pipeline annually supplied 59 billion m³ of blue fuel, with the commissioning of a new branch, the figure would increase by at least 55 billion m³. With sales at spot prices, revenue would reach $ 57 billion a year. This is not only about losses in the salaries of company employees, but also about missing tax deductions, and hence pensions, benefits, and investment programs of the state.

Who exactly is guilty of the terrorist act and to what extent is up to the investigation, but by the end of this year, financial losses will reach at least $82.8 billion, and then the amount will only increase.
