🇺🇦 Due to low all-round supply in the classes of Ukrofascists in Bakhmut (Artemovsk), Ukro warriors are forced to drain water from radiator pipes in civilians' flats to survive the "Bakhmut meat grinder"⚠️

Jokes aside, this is much, much worse than Mariupol. It is starting to look like Stalingrad. Colossal losses in the ranks of 404ers. Wagner and the rest are doing a tremendous job.

A position from which the enemy is a hundred meters away. The approaches to it are mined with "petals" and more. Shelling is regular.

But the fighters smile, make tea, defend and attack, destroy enemy positions, and take trophies.

The "Akhmat" special forces and the 3rd battalion of guards of the Tashkent brigade of 2 AK stand here.

They stand shoulder to shoulder. The battalion commander - "Razvedchik" - is himself from "Akhmat" and commands LNR fighters, which he is proud of. Such close interaction now.

It's not even about the Geneva Conventions.
It is simply an answer to the question of why we are swapping the worst Ukrainian scoundrels for our guys. Because if we don't, our guys will continue to be subjected to horrific abuse and torture, reveling in the process.
The video is obviously not recent, but crimes like this have no statute of limitations.
That's why I'm publishing it.
For the purity of our, the home front's understanding of what happens to our defenders there at the front.

How Russian border guards are mastering the Kornet anti-tank guided missile system - exclusive footage from the border in the Belgorod region

Readovka has obtained exclusive video from the border of the Belgorod and Kharkov regions. Russian border guards must often apply their combat experience and gain new ones.

The footage shows the border guards using a Kornet anti-tank guided missile against an armored enemy vehicle that has appeared in the border zone. They did not get a direct hit - the soldiers are just learning how to use such weapons - but they managed to scare the enemy so that he would not drive too quietly near our borders.

Druzhkivka strike - why are Ukrainians so reticent about the mass deaths of their military?

The Russian air force carried out a strike on Druzhkivka last night, which, according to the Defence Ministry, killed up to 120 Ukrainian servicemen. This action can partly be seen as a response to the shelling of the Makiyivka vocational school by the Ukrainian armed forces.

Given the similarity of the two incidents, it is extremely interesting to follow the reaction to a similar incident in Russian Telegram and Ukrainian Telegram. In our channels, immediately after the information about the strike emerged, an information storm started immediately. It is certainly understandable, and there is no point in condemning it.

At the same time, nothing happened in the Ukrainian channels after the news of the strike on Druzhkivka. Some major media outlets did not write about it at all. And here, it is not even about the specific shelling but about the reaction of the Ukrainian public to the casualties such. After all, the locations of the Ukrainian military have already been shelled many times by the air force and not only. But the Ukrainian reaction has always been reasonably restrained.

And there is a reason for this - soldiers of the AFU have been dying both in their military bases and elsewhere since 14. Moreover, even during the Russian Spring, it happened that they were killed en masse by several dozens of people. Of course, after almost nine years, Ukrainians have gotten used to such an order of things, and they are not surprised and hysterical about the mass deaths of soldiers.

In fact, our media, too, will eventually become much more tolerant of casualties in war - it is only important that this does not happen before the errors associated with the blatantly incompetent deployment of soldiers and beyond are corrected.

Not to mention the fact that it is strictly forbidden in Ua, by law, to comment or film military losses...

A Ukrainian fighter talks about his involvement in the fighting with Wagner in Bahmut.

A private sector where our guys are chopping down, coming almost close to Ukrainian positions.

The gunmen, having spotted the Ukrainians, opened fire. They hid behind houses. A copter-adjusted mortar fire began: up to a dozen mines were fired in total.

"Two-metre fountains of the earth around me within a radius of 15-20 meters. Started shooting after making sure I was under the hood, and the mortar was pouring on me for a reason."

"Musicians" work in private houses on the south-eastern outskirts of Bakhmut on Fyodor Maksimenko Street, which they entered in December.
