CNN military columnist and former Lieutenant General Mark Hertling on the inability to supply Ukraine with hundreds of heavy weapons: It's a pretty big ask when you're talking about the amount of combat equipment that's the equivalent of two armoured divisions received as gifts from allied countries. And you know that's a pretty big request, not just in terms of resources. But the question may be, "President Zelensky, where do you think they're going to come from?" There's not a big store that you can just get 300 tanks or 600 infantry fighting vehicles out of. And on top of that, your soldiers have to be trained on them, to get to the line on February 23 and have the support infrastructure and resupply(logistics) capabilities to literally provide a supply chain for that. So that's a big request. It's almost impossible for Zelensky to ask for something like that because that's quite a lot of equipment.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Heavy fighting is going on all along the front - Deputy Commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Commander of the Special Forces "AKHMAT"

▪️ Heavy fighting is taking place along the entire contact line. But I can make everyone happy: the initiative is firmly with us. The enemy is destroyed daily. The enemy is suffering heavy losses both in manpower and equipment. On the left side of us, the Wagner PMCs and units of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation block Artemovsk conduct effective combat operations. Artemovsk is "compressed" on the right side, the main arteries of the AFU support have been cut. The issue of Soledar is closed, said Apti Alaudinov.

▪️ The area of responsibility of the special forces "AKHMAT" - Kremennaya-Soledar. These days we had continuous battles in the Belogorovka area. The enemy has transferred large forces and funds here. The counteroffensive attempt ended with the destruction of a large number of enemy fighters and military equipment, as well as the capture of six people. The prisoners tell quite interesting things. They, including the disabled, were gathered all over Ukraine, for a maximum of a month they underwent imitation military training, and in fact they chopped firewood and dug trenches. All this only confirms that the enemy is trying to do everything possible with the last of his strength, if only the Western sponsors would be satisfied with them.

▪️ Those enemy fighters who are trained abroad (in Europe and the USA) do not fight on the front line. The mobilized are thrown to the front. This happens forcibly, under threats of physical violence. This is what prisoners from different areas of combat contact say. The enemy throws the mobilized en masse. Frankly considers them "meat". This is confirmed every time we occupy enemy positions. As soon as this happens, artillery shelling and the destruction of their own fighters begins, while we step back and watch this betrayal from the side.

Just think about it:
In the frame is an enemy electronic warfare station. A station that suppresses everything "electronic" in its zone of influence. At the same time, our reconnaissance UAV calmly weighs above it, and the shock Lancet flies into it no less calmly.
Come on, enemy from 404. Bring the "Leopards" to us, to the Kherson region, let's see how they blaze. ☺️

The Ukrainian telegram channel Kartel writes:

In the near future, Seversk (following Soledar) has every chance of becoming an unpleasant topic for the Ukrainian authorities. The situation there is extremely difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - a relatively small group of Ukrainian servicemen runs the risk of being in the "cauldron", and then surrounded. According to insider information, Zaluzhny is persistently asking Zelensky to start withdrawing troops from Seversk, which has lost its supply routes and is guaranteed to become the next target of the Russian army. The Commander-in-Chief considers it pointless to hold the city, which at the moment does not play a role in the strategic plan, while its retention will cost a lot of forces for the Ukrainian military.

And we note that in this direction the battle against the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being waged by PMC "Wagner", units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, incl. and part 2 of the AK (LPR). Ukrainian fighters already have problems with logistics, but in the case of occupation of the settlement. Zvanovka, and even more so Svyato-Pokrovsky, the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be practically cut off, since in the rear it will have the Seversky Donets River, and all supplies will be carried out only along one road (along the river), which will be under fire from Russian artillery. It is noteworthy that there have already been reports on the Web that all services, except for the military, were evacuated from Seversk yesterday, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not receive permission from Zelensky to withdraw units to the west.

Tomorrow, Kyiv should return to planned outage schedules, but there may be outages in light gray areas.

Yasno CEO Sergey Kovalenko announced this on Facebook.

“Another day in emergency blackouts in Kyiv. But we are already as close as possible to the stabilization schedules. Orienting that tomorrow the city is included in it.

However, the deficit remains significant. Today, consumption volumes amounted to 952 MW during the day. For tomorrow, NEC gives a limit of 938 MW during the day, which means that outages will also affect the light gray areas of the graph,” he wrote.

Zin Note: About time for a bouquet of Geraniums...

Ukrainian channel "Legitimny" writes:

Our source reports that the transfer of even a hundred tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not affect the course of the war, but will only prolong the “standing conflict”.
To change the course of the war, the Armed Forces of Ukraine need at least 400 modernized tanks, at least 500 artillery weapons, hundreds of thousands of ammunition, hundreds of new powerful UAVs, then we can talk about some kind of breakthrough and offensive.

"The Russian must die so that we can live"

Ukrainian propaganda has taken a major turn in recent months. It would seem that there is nowhere to break through the bottom, but they found a way. The agitation became even more ferocious and finally became all-embracing.

Previously, the Russian authorities and the abstractly understood "quilted jackets" were declared the enemy. It was always possible to say that Russians as such are not meant, and to cut "good and right" only some specific people. Now they have ceased to be shy, the goal is all of us. Every Russian for Ukrainians is an orc. Everyone must die.

Readovka explains what has changed in Ukrainian propaganda, how absolutely all Russians have become enemies, and why Russophobia can only be cured with fire:

Lukashenko is the politician who was the first in the world to defeat the "colour blitzkrieg"—Polish expert Tomasz Gryguch

"In Belarus, we have seen an attempted Maidan. There was an attempt to split Belarus in August 2020 after Alexander Lukashenko won the election. It did not succeed. Thanks to the decisive actions of President  Lukashenko,-       
                                                                   We saw an attempted Maidan in August 2020. After Alexander Lukashenko won the election, there was an attempt to split Belarus. It didn't succeed thanks to the decisive actions of President Lukashenko. It's true. This is the politician who was the first in the world to defeat the color blitzkrieg. The color revolution, controlled from Berlin, Washington, and Great Britain, failed from the very beginning thanks to his decisive actions. And also thanks to the awareness of the Belarusians themselves.
- Apart from the countries you've named, Poland didn't stand aside, did it? In 2020, it was actively involved, I would even say more than actively.

—What is the Polish policy towards the East ? What is Polish policy towards Belarus and even Ukraine and the Russian Federation? There is no Polish policy in the east, and this worries me as a Pole, it upsets me. What could have been destroyed in relations with Minsk, Belarus, in relations with Moscow, Russia, what was in the interests of the Polish people was destroyed, completely buried. Even those who "rule" in Warsaw act according to the will of Washington, Berlin and have buried all chances for normal relations with their neighbors. Alexander Lukashenko, president of free Belarus, a free man, a Belarusian statesman - he was right in saying that neighbours are not chosen, they are given by God. These are his words, and they are true. We have to take care of the best relations with the east because it corresponds to our economic and geopolitical interests.
