The results of the Ramstein meeting and the main statements of the Pentagon and NATO leaders:

▪️The Pentagon expects to resolve the issue of tanks by this year's spring;
▪️Ukraine will receive vehicles from the UK and several EU countries. These will be, in particular, Challenger 2;

About white phosphorus

Phosphorus works as fuel, igniting some objects and men on the battlefield while inhaling it, bringing to heavy lung damage and often death. The idea is to make the enemy retreat from the position or die. The usual artillery practice when engaging an entrenched opponent is to fire a mixed salvo of phosphorus and HE or shrapnel grenades to kill those fleeing from the trenches. Offensive weapon. Very ugly.

By Rudenko.
Apologies for language

The Ukrainians are already so fucked up that they are holding rallies in Germany demanding tanks.

That's cool! You know why? Because when we win, all radical scum will flee to Europe and what will they do? That's right, they'll demand.

And when they're sent away, they'll take what they want by force.
Soon...!

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces admits the Russian offensive in the Zaporizhzhya direction - but denies the loss of Kleshcheyevka and Soledar

A fresh summary of the enemy's military establishment, published this evening, is indicative in several respects. The Ukrainian side continues to deny that Soledar and strategically important Klescheevka have gone under the Russian flag, and the anti-Russian "liberal" media echo them.

However, regarding the resumption of movement of the Russian Armed Forces in the Zaporizhzhya direction, the AFU did not keep silent. However, they also refrained from specifying that Lobkove, Shcherbaki, and Malye Shcherbaki have fallen under our control.

The report also states that the Russian army is attacking the Bakhmut (Artemovsk) and Avdeevka directions.

Russian troops control the entire territory from the line of contact at Sporny to Berestovoye. Denys Kulaga, a correspondent of Izvestia, who walked several kilometers along this terrain, was personally convinced of this.

They were accompanied by Ukrainian artillery shells and "presents" of nationalists under their feet.

"That's where the smoke rises; now a mine has come here. The weather doesn't seem to allow air strikes to be corrected. Here the attendant tells us that a Polish mortar was working, so we did not hear the sound of the arrival, only the burst itself," the military correspondent noted.

The servicemen and our camera crew decided to take shelter in a dugout. They continued the trek after Russian aviation had silenced the AFU artillery.

🇺🇦 Battle for Orekhov
situation by the end of January 20, 2023

🔻At the Orekhovsky sector, after the liberation of Lobkovoye, Russian troops swooped down and took the neighboring village of Malye Shcherbaki, knocking out the combined forces of the enemy from there.

▪️Immediately after the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they were able to consolidate their success by blocking the Ukrainian formations in Shcherbaki. Also, Russian fighters advanced in the suburbs of Orekhov - Novoandreevka, Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka. The area is being cleaned up.

Establishing control over Lobkov and Shcherbak makes it possible to increase pressure on the Kamenskoye-Stepovoe line, where units of the 128th Guards Brigade, the 9th Gepard Regiment and the MTR group are located. And with the complete liberation of Novoandreevka, Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka, cover Orekhov from the south and east.

The situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is complicated by the fact that the T0812 highway is under the complete fire control of Russian artillerymen, which makes it potentially dangerous to send reinforcements to conduct a counteroffensive due to a possible collapse of the front in Kamenskoye.

🔻Servicemen of the 291st regiment of the Russian Armed Forces have established control over several strongholds in the Novopokrovka area southeast of Orekhovo. The Armed Forces of Ukraine expect the continuation of the active assault on the Belogorye-Charivnoe line and in the direction of Gulyai-Pole.

Breaking through the first line of defense at this line with a simultaneous attack from the west will allow the military personnel of the RF Armed Forces to reach Orekhov from the east and develop an offensive on Gulyaipole, cutting the AFU grouping into two parts.

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, said Russian forces have made "gradual progress" near Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and Soledar, but argues that this does not change the strategic situation.

About Pantsir air defense systems on the roofs of buildings in Moscow

Yesterday, photos with "Pantsir" air defence systems, which were installed on the roofs of the Defence Ministry complex on Frunzenskaya Embankment and several other buildings in the centre of Moscow, flew around social networks. Later, a picture of another installation appeared near Novo-Ogaryovo near Moscow.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have at their disposal more than a thousand low-speed kamikaze drones similar to the Geranium-2. They are able to attack targets at a considerable distance from the front line and reach areas deep in the rear.

Under these conditions, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely try to hit Moscow. In addition to the purely symbolic significance of such a raid, the city is home to important industrial, energy and government facilities. Places of large concentrations of people can also become a target: as the example of deliberate shelling of residential areas of Donetsk shows, the Armed Forces of Ukraine seek to cause as many victims as possible among the civilian population in order to intimidate them.

🔻The appearance of an air defence system in the centre of the capital of Russia indicates that the threat of an attack on Moscow is taken seriously. "Shells" on the roofs of buildings are the last line of defence in case the enemy's weapons manage to pass through the air defence echelons on the outskirts of the city. To some, such measures may seem redundant, but they are fully justified: it is gratifying that they are being taken in advance.

However, additional air defence systems are deployed not only near Moscow, but also near other settlements. Therefore, when you see a battery of "Pantsirs" or "Buks", you should not take pictures of them, and even more so upload frames to the network.

🔻Yes, the appearance of air defence systems in the city centre is unlikely to go unnoticed. But in other cases, filming the locations of such equipment will be a gift for Ukrainian formations.

The less the enemy knows about the positions of Russian air defence systems, the more effectively they will cope with the task of covering the country's cities.

Sargon Hadaya:

⚡️Another exclusive from Bakhmut (Artyomovsk)

"Foreign mercenaries are evil spirits that will be destroyed."

"Orchestra" uses all available tools to destroy the enemy. “There are almost no locals left here - mostly Poles and Americans work, and Georgian speech is heard over radio interception.” The fighting in the city does not stop, the intensity of the fire rolls over. "Musicians" with their fire return the name of Artyomovsk to the city.

More from Sargon:

⚡️Exclusive from Bakhmut (Artyomovsk)

“Soon we will take all of Bakhmut!”

"Musicians" have taken control of several areas of the private sector and continue to storm high-rise buildings.

“The struggle is for every house, for every quarter, for every piece of this land. We're moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on. Soon, I think, we will take all of Bakhmut, ”says the“ musician ”of the“ orchestra ”.

The fiercest battles are going on in the city, the cannonade does not stop and the “piano” plays. “The enemy did not strengthen, but dug in ... we advance daily, everything that they oppose, we work with him: we suppress in every possible way and move on.”
