Boris_rozhin:

Today, we can expect good news from the Artemovsky direction from the area of Berkhovka, Yagodny, etc. In a number of areas, the fighting moved into the stage of mopping up. The enemy continues to try to hold the front north of the Chasov Yar - Artemovsk route through Khromovo, but every day it becomes more and more difficult, the Wagner grinds the enemy defenses in fierce battles and gradually moves towards the key supply route.

At the same time, the disintegration of the organized enemy has not yet been observed. The enemy stubbornly resists and transfers additional forces to the threatening sectors.

The good old S-60 is the most powerful land-based automatic gun in the world. Long before the war, the need for large-caliber automatic guns in modern realities was discussed, both as anti-aircraft guns and to arm heavy BMPs and BMPTs.

🇪🇺The West's attempts to isolate Russia have failed - The Washington Post

"Plenty of evidence points to the failure of the attempt to isolate Russia," according to an article published in The Washington Post.

According to the journalists, the conflict has demonstrated that there is a global divide and limits to U.S. influence over the rapidly changing world order.

The publication also notes that there is ample evidence that efforts to isolate the president have failed, particularly among Moscow's allies, China and Iran. The Washington Post journalists stressed that Africa and the Middle East are reaching out to Russia, as evidenced by the way they met Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

As the AFU soldiers themselves write: "The artillery of musicians work around the clock. Lots of 200/300, just meat".

Not meat, but waste.
