🇪🇺 Europe accuses US of profiting from war - Politico

High-ranking European officials are already questioning whether the US is their ally. Uncomfortable questions about the rising cost of living in Europe and subsidies for the industry in the US have increasingly started to come up from the podiums and media.

Also, for ordinary Europeans and for EU governments, it is not very comfortable to trade with an overseas 'friend' at prices 2-3 times higher than with Russia (before sanctions).

📝 "The thing is, if you look at it soberly, the country that profits the most from this war is the US, because they sell more gas and at higher prices, and because they sell more weapons," the source told Politico.

What's more, even when the Europeans make claims openly, the US ignores everything.

📝 "The rise in gas prices in Europe is caused by Putin's 'invasion' of Ukraine and Putin's energy war against Europe, full stop <...> LNG exports from the US to Europe "have increased dramatically, allowing Europe to diversify away from Russia," said a US National Security Council official.

‼️🔥"Solntsek" daredevils burned down AFU tanks on Liman front

Fierce fighting near Svatovo-Kreminna continues. Artillery is very active.
In the video, TOS-1A "Solntsecek" of the group "O" hit and "set fire to a tank of Germans (so our people call the Ukrainian Nazis), there was another tank of the AFU but exploded later, and this one banged beautifully", - say the soldiers.

‼️🇷🇺Battle footage: 9th regiment storms enemy stronghold

The 9th Regiment's artillery destroyed the AFU's long-term firing points, which covered the approaches to the Ukrainian stronghold, with accurate fire. This enabled the armored group to break through directly to the enemy fortifications. The BMPs of the 9th Regiment landed with their regular weapons fire and seized the Ukrainian positions.

The Chinese portal Sohu describes Russia's S-500 air defence system as the most powerful system in the world today. "After the S-400, Russia immediately started developing the all-new S-500 air defense system." "Its launch reflects a far-sighted decision of the Russian military to focus on the development of anti-aircraft missile systems," the journalists said. The authors of the article also believe that the S-500 air defence system has become a new shield for the future air and space defense of Russia. This is a powerful response to Washington's space strategy, the Chinese media stressed.

Let's see...no money, no electricity, no money to pay for the electricity you don't have, no heating, @hit falling from the sky on your cities occasionally, half of the family gone or escaped, no work, again no money...yap. You look like winners to me.

Part 1
Artillery, the GOD of war.

While there is a window and opportunity, let's talk about how the intelligence-art ligament has now started to work quite well.

Positions. Apart from Artemivsk and similar situations, there is now a gray zone between our positions and the enemy. It can be from a kilometer to 3. Thus it is possible to secretly move out small reconnaissance groups into these gray zones, which secretly observe the enemy's movements and activities (how and when to move out will be discussed with your comrades on the ground). Also, in each area of responsibility has artillery (let's omit the number), which is responsible for one or another section of the front. And here begins the most interesting part...

Part 2
Interaction. Earlier, we wrote articles on this subject. Here's a concrete example: artillerymen always have a representative from the surveillance (an experienced officer) who has a connection with his "eyes" in the area of responsibility. In case of a report by eyes that there is a worthy target, THIS officer decides to destroy or suppress the target that was uncovered by "eyes," thus bypassing the long knee from reconnaissance > chief reconnaissance officer > senior commander > chief of artillery > battery commander (SOB) > battery—because of this "knee," the time to make a decision stretched up to 12 hours (those who are in the subject, you know what I mean). Now it has been reduced to 10 minutes at the most, and the experience of our artillerymen in preparing a gun for firing and the expertise of our COBs and DISs in calculations has reduced the running time even further. The efficiency has increased in comparison with the beginning of the SMO by TIME. This is super.

Nuances. This is how the system works, where "initiative groups" are listened to by their superiors. And where subordinates are not afraid to go into arguments with their commanders with valid concerns (eh, Kherson brothers?). And in some places, everything remains the same.
Comrade commanders of all ranks, show SOMETHING of initiative and get movement from your superiors. You are in the trenches, not them. As a colleague of mine used to say: cognac does not flow under a lying commander. Only then will victory be ours.

Once again, we appeal to all brotherly channels not to share movements and redeployment of the Serbian army troops near Kosovo's administrative line.
Thank you.
