Dmitry Medvedev writes in his TG channel:

"They say that appetite comes with food. For those suffering from an eating disorder in the form of bulimia or compulsive overeating, the feeling of hunger is endless. Constantly hungry!

So the worthless bosses of Malorossia want more and more all the time. More tanks, more cars, more guns. Now some schmuck says they want planes and... submarines. Okay, the planes are understandable. True, there are practically no normal runways left, and the Ukrainian sky is closed to us. But submarines are quite strong. Especially taking into account that soon the Kiev regime will have no sea at all. Then we will have to sit in a boat in the middle of the Dnieper, learning the immortal We all live in a yellow submarine. Although the submarine will probably be yellow and blue".

Ugledar is a heavily reinforced fortress and a key stronghold in the area that is protecting the flank of the Ukrainian Maryinka-Kurakhovo line from the south. It has enormous consequences and its fall will inevitably lead to the fall of Maryinka and imperil Kurakhovo.

Consequences of the Surrender of Ugledar 

The surrender of Ugledar, especially if it happens quickly and unplanned for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (and so far there are all preconditions for this), will force the Ukrainian garrisons in Novomikhailovka and Paraskovievka to pull back behind the highway, leaving the threat of encirclement.
And the Ukrainian front may "move" towards Kurakhovo.Especially if Russian units do not slow down.

Translated from "RT in Russian"

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

“I don’t see any difference in what kind of equipment (the AFU) will have, whether Western or old Soviet. In general, it burns the same way.”

Akhmat commander Apty Alaudinov, in an interview with RT Arabic military reporter Sargon Khadaya, explained how Western arms manufacturers earn billions supplying equipment to Kiev.

GB: As you well know, I am not in favour of looking for cunning plans where there aren’t any or sussing out conspiracies if the objective forces at play present a clear and coherent picture. Roman Donetsky’s vision of the conflict aligns with mine. The global crisis of capitalism inexorably leads to a global conflict, which we are in the beginning stages of, with the inevitable subsequent redistribution of resources by the victors. Accordingly I disagree with Tsarev’s essay below. However, this being Oleg Tsarev, the text is worth considering.

Cui Bono

[title added, -ed.]

by Oleg Tsarev

From time to time I read texts that carry the same message: there is no reason for the U.S. to try to change power in Russia. Everything that the business earns in Russia is taken to the West. Russia's gold and foreign currency reserves were mostly invested in U.S. securities. The cost of oil and gas remained in Russia. Really, why?

Let us imagine the following situation. Let's suppose there was an agreement with Poland on the division of Ukraine, about which former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski writes. Suppose there was a similar agreement with Hungary. Then Russia would have to occupy practically the entire territory of Ukraine, except for those regions that Hungary and Poland were to occupy. Could there have been such an agreement without U.S. involvement? I think not. If you ask, "How is that possible, because the U.S. wants to ruin Russia?", I'll ask a counter question, "Why?" So that in the midst of chaos, China would pull the wreckage of Russia under its influence?

Let us imagine the unthinkable. Let us imagine that there was some kind of agreement with the United States. Russia takes Ukraine. What the US gets—I don't know. Maybe the U.S., by imposing sanctions in response, is hitting Europe. Or maybe there was an agreement on China.

Note: For the first couple of weeks or even more, the U.S., other than making loud statements, does nothing to interfere with Russia. The U.S. is biding its time.

According to The New Yorker, Zaluzhny did not share defense details with the U.S. before the SWO, refused to tell the U.S. about the weapons caches he was constantly moving and disguising in every possible way. Give me another reason for Zaluzhny's behavior other than distrust of the US. Here is the link. You can check it out.

The agreed game of the USA, Russia and a number of other countries suited everyone, except Kiev and ... London. Kiev and London are disrupting agreements between Russia and a number of Western countries, including the US. Russia realizes that the game is not going according to the agreed scenario and tries to jump out of the trap by trying to conclude peace agreements with Ukraine in Istanbul. Who derailed these agreements? London. MI6. I have previously described in detail how MI6 orchestrated the disruption of already concluded agreements through a provocation in Bucha.

What are we seeing now? The NATO bloc has supplied less than five percent of its weapons to Ukraine. The U.S. refuses to supply aircrafts, strike drones and tanks. They supply exactly as much as they need to keep the war going. The logical question is: How is it possible that if they agreed, then why doesn't the U.S. push Ukraine to the point where it surrenders? And I'll ask the counter-question again: Why? Russia had time to take its own according to the original agreements. The U.S. gave it time. Time ran out. Now, thanks to the war in Ukraine, the U.S. military-industrial complex is making billions, as is the U.S. oil-gas industry.

Also in Ukraine, they are mopping up the British agents of influence so they don't get in the way anymore. I wrote about this. They say they also changed the prime minister in London to a more pro-American one for disobedience in the Ukraine. The British prime minister decides many things, but not everything. The British Crown and the intelligence services subordinate to it have their own game.

(continued below)

(started above)

Well, what is the game of London and the United States, what they do not coincide in, and how this threatens Russia, I will write separately. In brief, I will say that while the United States is in favor of preserving Russia at all costs, Britain is not.

This is not the only version that describes today's events. But, nevertheless, there is a logic to it. Shall we look for counterarguments?

Politico : US President Joe Biden is announcing on Wednesday that the U.S. will send Ukraine a battalion of 31 M1 Abrams tanks, the Army’s premier main battle tank, in a significant show of support for Kyiv in its fight against Russia.

The tanks won’t arrive in Ukraine for many months, and the Pentagon is working through the challenges involved in providing the training, equipment and fuel to operate the 70-ton tracked weapons, officials said.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia is preparing for a major offensive, and spring and early summer will be decisive in the war in Ukraine - military intelligence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

A spokesman for the intelligence service, Skibitskyy, has responded to a question about the likelihood that the war will end in 2023:
▪️"We can't look far yet, we have to get past the first phase - the spring and early summer. We can see where this war is going: the Russian military leadership has changed, the first phase of mobilization is over and the Russian army is regrouping. Our assessment is simple: the main activity of the Russian Armed Forces will unfold in the Donetsk and Luhansk directions. They have failed to fulfill their main task with which they started the "special military operation" - the complete capture of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
▪️Now "there is a powerful regrouping of Russian troops in all directions on the front line".
