‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺Head of Avdeevka Civil-Military Administration forecasts a major offensive by Russian troops

"Russia is pulling troops to the Donetsk direction, which may indicate the probable preparation of a new offensive on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion," Vitaly Barabash, head of the Avdiivka Civil-Military Administration, told Espresso.

According to him, some 160 battalions were concentrated a few weeks ago - now it's 190. Even with incomplete manning - "that's a lot of people".

The head of the VGA expressed the opinion that the Russians will shell Ukraine's regional centres on 24 February and will attack all or most directions on the front line.

"My personal opinion is that there will be missile strikes on regional centres on February 24. And on the front line they will attack in all or most directions. The reserve has been pulled up for that," Barabash said.

There are more and more mournful posts on Ukrainian social networks about "ATO heroes," who from day one participated in the punitive operation against Donbass, but after arriving in Bakhmut and having fire contact with the "Wagnerites," they very quickly turned into "two-hundredths." Neither their experience in killing civilians nor the rewards issued by the Kiev regime helped.

In other words, we are no longer talking about the "Mobiks," who were caught in Odessa and who from the outset were classified as "cannon fodder," but about hardened, motivated fighters who hate the Russians. 

Given that the combat efficiency of the units formed by Kiev largely depends on the percentage of such nationalists or Nazis, their mass destruction in Bakhmut is becoming an increasingly serious problem for the AFU command with far-reaching consequences.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 A group of Ukrainian landing troops was destroyed on the left bank of the Dnieper.

The militants, numbering about 20 people, had advanced from the village of Dudchany in the Kherson region. When they landed on our shore, they were covered by artillery and met with heavy small-arms fire. The battle went on for about half an hour.
Our infantry eliminated the group and suppressed the enemy's attempt at reconnaissance by combat," reports S. Pegov.

Did you hear btw for Mart Laar? Estonian politician and "historian"? English WW 2 wiki is full of his "data". Basically, Estonians killed more Russians than Germans according to him. Well, probably true if we substitute soldiers for civilians ...

⚡️ A 12-year-old girl named Vasilisa was killed during the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Belgorod region.

This was written by the head of the region Vyacheslav Gladkov.

📝 “At the time of the shelling, she was talking with her dad on the phone, and the shell exploded behind her back ... no one will ever be able to console her mother and father. No words of consolation will resurrect an only child,” the governor said.

Summary as of February 19, 2023 Summary compiled by: Two Majors

Over the past week, the initiative in all directions remained in the hands of the Russian Army, while the enemy launched many unsuccessful counterattacks.

The situation in the Kharkov and Sumy directions is characterized by increased artillery shelling of enemy targets. The enemy accumulates mercenaries in the region, parts of the defense, and around the clock builds fortifications in cities and on the outskirts of them. In the basements of residential buildings in Kharkov, new warehouses with ammunition and provisions are being equipped. In many areas, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated 3 km deep into their territory to pre-prepared positions, the indicated strip in 3 km of the area, most likely, was mined.

In the Kupyansk direction, our troops are conducting a successful offensive, despite its slow pace. The enemy is preparing Kupyansk for surrender, and the evacuation of the population has been announced. To curb the pace of our offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are transferring units to the LBS.

Constant fighting goes west of the Svatovo-Kremennaya line. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting an organized defense, preparing the second lines in case our forces break through the front.

The Artemovskoe (Bakhmutskoe) direction is characterized by the advance of the Wagner PMC in the north of the city. With the occupation of a number of settlements, the main road to Slavyansk was cut, but it is impossible to talk about the encirclement of the city. Many small roads lead to Artemovsk from the western side.

To the south of the city of Artemovsk, in the offensive zone on Chasov Yar, the enemy is fighting fierce battles, twice went over to an unsuccessful counterattack, which indicates the preservation of his reserves in place and the importance for him of Chasov Yar as a logistics hub.

In the Avdiivka direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine also took reciprocal actions but did not achieve success.

Marinka is taken in pincers from the north and south sides. The advance of the Russian Armed Forces is underway, albeit slowly.

Ugledar has become a serious problem for the Russian Armed Forces. The enemy competently used all our mistakes in reconnaissance (including engineering) and organization of the offensive. It was reported from the field that despite the heroism and selflessness of the same our 155th brigade of marines and the accuracy of the 338th jet brigade, "the offensive bogged down." The troops are regrouping, the enemy is fixing huge columns of our equipment in the region.

Our military intelligence has been activated in the Zaporozhye direction. Announce the arrival of new units.

The Kherson sector of the front is characterized by the arrival of foreign mercenaries on the Ukrainian coast: Polish and English-speaking. Number - from 500 to 1 thousand people. Used for delivery as a DRG to the islands, according to primary data.

Thus, the front line for the past week was without significant strategic changes. The Russian army is preparing for a large-scale offensive, waiting for the decision of the military-political leadership of the country.
