📌 Successes of PMC "Wagner" in the Bakhmut and Soledar directions

▪️North of Soledar:

Units of the Wagner PMC are advancing towards Nikolaevka and Razdolovka from several directions. There are fierce battles in n. Sacco and Vanzetti.

▪️Bakhmut:

The musicians are fighting fierce battles in the south of the village of Paraskovievka and in the north of the village of Krasnaya Gora - the northern suburbs of Bakhmut. Reports of the liberation of these settlements turned out to be premature.

Under the control of PMC "Wagner" is a large part of the area "Meat Processing Plant" in the north-east of Bakhmut. The line of contact passes in the area of Alabastrova Street.

In the southeast, fighting is going on in the area of Garshin Street, the musicians' units have taken possession of the first buildings in the complex of houses between Vatutina Lane and Nekrasov Street.

The fighters of PMC "Wagner" expanded the zone of control in the south of Bakhmut from the side of Experienced.

▪️South of Bakhmut:

Developing the offensive from Kleshcheevka, the Orchestra is moving towards the Bakhmut-Konstantinovka highway, one of the supply lines for the local grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In parallel with this, there is an advance towards the village of Krasnoye (Ivanovskoye) and the southwestern regions of Bakhmut.

It is premature to talk about the operational environment, since the Armed Forces of Ukraine still have routes to Chasov Yar, Slavyansk, as well as an extensive network of field roads, which used to be used by agricultural machinery.

Military analyst @Boris_Rozhin writes :

The Armed Forces will begin to mobilize citizens who are not fit for duty.
The fully fit citizens are finished; the time has come for the sick and disabled.
Obviously, the forced mobilization of random citizens anywhere does not provide the necessary numbers (even the large number of forcibly mobilized civilians is not enough), so they are looking for new opportunities to scrape out cannon fodder anywhere they can. Of course, in anticipation of a large-scale bloodletting in the spring and summer with tens (at best for AFU) of thousands of dead.

After us though the flood!

Ukraine in less than a year has become the most mined country in the world - this was stated by the British TV channel Sky News, citing experts.
“The pollution [by mines] is enormous (...). It is even incomparable, I would say, with Syria or Afghanistan. It's really big,” said Mines Advisory Group (MAG) spokesperson Katerina Templeton. According to her, anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, booby traps, tripwire mines, cluster munitions, and a large number of unexploded ordnance can be found in Ukraine. Between 2014 and 2020, 1,190 people have died in mine-related incidents in Ukraine. In 2022 - 611.
Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmygal stated the same: "The conflict in Ukraine has led to the fact that 250,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory have been mined, which is approximately 40% of the entire area of the state."
At the same time, 90% of all exposed mines and minefields were carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The number of unexploded ordnance, mines and explosive ordnance is estimated at millions of units. It may take years to clear such a large area. At the same time, work related to mine clearance is carried out only in territories controlled by the Russian army.

And this clearly shows for whom the Ukrainian land is native, who will raise the economy and establish a peaceful life, and for whom it is just a "warzone", who is an occupier. This is the one who fills the peaceful cities of Donbass with mines "petals" and mine traps, who turns the Ukrainian black soil into a layer cake of mines and unexploded ordnance.

A U.S. weapons maker is offering to sell the Ukraine government two Reaper MQ-9 drones for a dollar to help the country defend itself as it prepares for an expected Russian offensive.

The deal would require Kyiv to spend about $10 million to prepare and ship the aircraft to Ukraine and about $8 million each year for maintenance and sustainment of the older model drones, which aren't currently being used in Ukraine.

So, the company will donate the drones, but Ukraine has to pay for the shipping and maintenance services.

Western non-governmental organizations have to reluctantly confirm the war crimes of the Ukrainian side, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

She drew attention to the publication of Human Rights Watch, which pointed out the use of prohibited anti-personnel mines "Petal" by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Zakharova recalled that Vasily Nebenzya, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, also announced the fact of their use earlier.

From the Ukrainian channel "Legitimny:"

#Layout
The West knows what losses in manpower the Armed Forces incur. They receive this information from their sources within the Ukrainian system.
This case was raised at many recent meetings between Ukrainian representatives and Western intelligence agencies and military officials.
The main task that the Western partners set for Zelensky is to compensate for the losses in manpower, Ze promised to do this as soon as possible. Thus, the scale of mobilization in Ukraine has increased.
Under this and many other conditions, Western military assistance was issued.
Now the Office of the President is faced with the main problem - a drop in combat and morale in the army, into which men are forcibly driven, but thereby weakening the military machine from the inside.

There is information that the task of the Office of the President is to provoke a second wave of mobilization in Russia, which, according to Western analysts, will reduce Putin's authority in the Russian Federation before the elections and become a good "info-ground" for protests and destabilization.

AUKUS partnership provokes confrontation in Asia-Pacific region — Chinese Foreign Ministry

The military cooperation of Australia, the UK and the US within the AUKUS trilateral format is provoking a military standoff in the Asia-Pacific region, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Mao Ning said during a briefing Wednesday.

"The establishment of the so-called AUKUS trilateral security partnership is effectively aimed at provoking a military confrontation through military cooperation," she said, commenting on a question about the potential expansion of AUKUS to include India and Japan.

She noted that AUKUS’ activities increase the risk of nuclear proliferation and ramp up the arms race in the Asia-Pacific region.
"We are deeply concerned about this and we strongly oppose it," Mao Ning said.

Beijing believes that AUKUS’ activities are aimed at deterring China in the region.

For those wondering why a Russian village (in fact, more like a kolkhoz) has such a weird name, Sacco and Vanzetti were two italian anarchists convicted to death penalty in 1927 for alleged murder during a botched robbery in Massachussets . There was never firm evidence against them, and the trial was riddled with prejudice due to their ideology and their migrant origins. There were worldwide protests against them, coming from both Mussolini's Italy (due to it being yet another instance of clear prejudice against italians in the US) and the Soviet Union.
