NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg urged South Korea to provide military support to Ukraine, saying the country is in urgent need of ammunition.

South Korea has sent materials such as gas masks, bulletproof vests and medical supplies to Ukraine, but has declined to provide lethal weapons, citing a law that prevents it from arming countries engaged in conflicts.

In Ukraine's Volyn region, there is a shortage not only of ambulances but also of specialists; everything and everyone is sent to the Kharkiv region.

From the Volyn region, all ambulances are transferred to the 14th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located near Kupyansk. Most of the Volyn doctors have also been mobilized for this brigade. In this regard, the issue of a shortage of qualified personnel is acute.

"We are replacing doctors with orderlies, and in the future we will be replacing doctors with paramedics," said Vladimir Shmalya, head of the council of the Center for Emergency Care and Disaster Medicine.

🌾Cheap Ukrainian grain exported to the east of the European Union is creating problems for local farmers, because the cheap grain from Ukraine displaces local products from markets.

The situation "could create serious difficulties for EU producers in the agricultural sector," noted a joint report by Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. 
"There are now increasing signs that this increase, if unchecked, could create serious difficulties in the local market," the document said.

The Israeli security establishment on Monday was reportedly bracing for a retaliatory strike by Iran, following a series of attacks against Islamic Republic targets over the past several days that have been blamed on Israel.

The Kan public broadcaster reported Monday that security officials have held discussions over the past day to try to predict when and how Iran will respond to several strikes on convoys that reportedly were ferrying weapons and ammunition(usual propaganda) for Tehran-backed militias in Syria over the past 48 hours.

Russian forces are strengthening their positions on new frontiers that were recaptured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region. This was reported to us by the chairman of the movement "We are with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.

"Our guys consolidated their successes and built a new line of defense at all the lines from which [the Armed Forces] were knocked out in a week by reconnaissance in combat. The enemy positions are being processed: aviation is actively working, the presence of our Tornado-S MLRS is felt on the front. I Let me remind you that this type of weapon surpasses the American MLRS HIMARS in terms of accuracy," he said.

The unit in the "Wagner Group", which consists of citizens of Scandinavian countries, in particular, from Norway, also participate in the battles on the Bakhmut front.
It is called Nidhegg (NíðhǫGgr), which means one of the great serpents (dragons) in Scandinavian mythology. The serpent gnaws the roots of the Yggdrasil tree (the world tree symbolizing the universe), and also devours sinners.
According to the beliefs of Scandinavian mythology, an eagle with great wisdom sat on top of the Yggdrasil ash tree. He was in an eternal feud with Nidhegg. And a squirrel named Ratatosk scurried up and down the trunk of Yggdrasil and endured the abusive words that the eagle and the dragon Nidhegg showered on each other.

❗Battles for Ugledar continue

Heavy fighting continues for dachas on the outskirts of Ugledar. The enemy infantry, which has been accumulating in the houses for the last three days, has been thoroughly thinned out. Now they continue to resist the attack aircraft, artillery, and tanks, and the houses built to last are still coping with their new role as shelters.

The only solution is sniper pairs, which since the beginning of the assault have destroyed more than ten units of enemy manpower each on average.

The main enemy forces continue to remain in Ugledar and the mines. According to unconfirmed reports, a couple of tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were a nightmare for summer cottages, were sent to a scrap metal warehouse, but the enemy tanks did not end there.

The fighting is heavy, the parties bear mutual losses.

The main thing from the statements of the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin:

- NATO has already entered into a direct confrontation with Russia, supplying more and more weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, deploying more and more battle groups in the south-east of Europe and in the Baltics

- Any possible deliveries of Western tanks to Ukraine will not solve anything: they will become another target, Russia has something to counteract the enemy

- The offer of Russian businessmen for rewards for destroyed or captured Abrams and Leopard tanks, which the West promises to transfer to Kyiv, can be an excellent motivational component for Russian fighters

- Russian units are moving forward, despite the fact that Ukrainian formations are fixed on the territory of industrial facilities along the entire line of contact and do not take into account huge losses

Throughout 2022, enemy propaganda was telling that the Russian economy would fall terribly already in 2022, and in 2023 it would fall even more. But something went wrong with yet another "rupture of the Russian economy to shreds."

The latest IMF forecast (it is unlikely that this structure can be blamed for any sympathy for the Russian Federation) shows that the fall of the Russian economy in 2022 was not as significant as expected in the West, and in 2023 one can even expect a small economic growth. Only 0.3% growth - a penny, but still. This is especially symptomatic against the background of forecasts by Western economists about the continuation of recession processes in the Eurozone, where a number of countries are actually in a state of recession, and some are on the verge. Just now, The Times wrote bluntly that, despite previous expectations, Britain's economic problems turned out to be more serious than those of Russia.

Actually, this is a good indicator of the ability of the current economic system to adapt and the ongoing processes of reorientation of trade and raw materials flows, some of which remain in the shadows, avoiding the impact of economic sanctions. Maintaining economic stability and commodity export-import flows through friendly countries is an important component of the Russian Federation's ability to wage a long war against the US and NATO in Ukraine.

Politico: Stoltenberg may remain as NATO Secretary General

The current Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, may retain his post, although there are other candidates for this position, the Politico newspaper writes, citing sources among European diplomats.

In a conversation with the publication, the source distributed the possible candidates for the post of Secretary General according to the degree of probability. Stoltenberg came out on top.

In second place are the Prime Ministers of the Netherlands and Estonia, Mark Rutte and Kaja Kallas, and British Defense Minister Ben Wallace. In third place were Prime Minister of Lithuania Ingrida Simonyte, President of Slovakia Zuzana Caputova and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

From the Ukrainian channel Legitimny:

#layout #Rumors
Our source reports that the Head of the Office of the President Yermak realized that monopolize or not monopolize the Ukrainian political "swamp", and without a controlled opposition, he will not be able to rule.

Now is the best time to build a controlled opposition. The first candidate to head the parties of the controlled opposition, but in reality the parties are satellites of the Office of the President, is Aleksey Arestovich.
The main task of Arestovich is to take votes from Zelensky's opponents, get into the future parliament and then stir up schemes with Yermak.

Someone is thinking about the war, while someone is busy with future elections, intrigues and the division of “portfolios”.

Zin Note: Interesting. So it appears that the future of Ukrainian politics will be a decision between Zelensky, Zaluzhny, and Arestovich, either themselves or simulacrums. Arestovich will take the vote of those skeptical of hard-core, delusional Ukrainian exceptionalism, but like the Republican party in the USA, their role will be to ease the skeptical into such beliefs in a more gradual manner.
