The morning was frosty. When I woke up, you had already packed your backpack.

You were kissing me and crying.

You turned and left. I never saw you again. I was still standing on the threshold of the open door. Because you are a warrior.

A warrior of this country.

What I would not give for... https://t.me/Slavyangrad/31974?comment=730584

I have little doubt that I will be interned by Canada if this war goes on. The longer it goes, the greater the likelihood. So will my family. History is bound to repeat. However, until it does, we will fight on, to the end.

@StarsheEddy Svatovo-Kremennaya Operational-Tactical Report: The area of responsibility of the 144th Motorized Infantry Division.

Today the Smolensk and Bryansk infantry assault units stealthily approaching the forward positions of the Ukrainian army, in a short lightning attack that destroyed enemy personnel and seized trophies. It is noteworthy that those killed were mostly natives of the Lvov region.

Overall, the Ukrainians, which had lost a large number of personnel in previous days, took no attack or counterattack action for the first time in a long time.

The Ukrainian armed forces continue to actively fire artillery systems of various types. The ground between the parties' positions is literally riddled with craters and the forest belts have been shaved almost to the ground. To the south and north of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division's responsibility zone, neighbouring units are trying to break through the enemy defence, I cannot say anything about their successes, because I simply do not know.

The 3rd Motorized Infantry Division also continues to fight hard in the big and small Zhuravka gully. The Ukrainians are actively using remote mining with NATO ammunition, due to which our progress is slow.

I would like to praise once again the work of our artillery. Under the guidance of Special Forces units, our artillery has recently begun striking enemy rear areas, ammunition supply routes and personnel supply routes more frequently. In this way, we are gradually approaching the tactic of isolating combat areas, the necessity of which I never tire of repeating.

For a successful offensive it is first of all necessary to deprive the defending AFU units of the means of resistance and the ability to rotate personnel. After that, it will be much easier to carry out the assigned tasks.

There has been NO withdrawal of Ukrainian troops—en masse—from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). The Russian Army (Wagner PMC units) have entered the Stupki district of Artyomovsk. This is a significant advance, but not the collapse of the Ukrainian defence. Listen to @Slavyangrad. Don't rush the events.

Russian pilots ejecting from Ka-52, February–March 2022.

Unique footage: the video shows the ejection of the crew of a Ka-52 "Alligator" helicopter, which was shot down at the beginning of the war. 

At 0:15, we see the beginning of the operation of the attack helicopter's jet-ejection system. The crew survived and continues to fight. The Ka-52 is the world's only helicopter with an ejection system that has also been battle-tested.

A Ukrainian unit fleeing from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut): “It’s hell on Earth. In a half an hour we lost 4 WIA, 2 KIA. We left in small groups. These are all who are left [from our group].”

“It would be ridiculous to identify the Hitler cabal with the German people, with the German state. The experience of history says that Hitlers come and go, but the German people and the German state remain.

Finally, the strength of the Red Army lies in the fact that it does not and cannot have racial hatred towards other peoples, including the German people, since it has been educated in the spirit of the equality of all peoples and races, in the spirit of respect for the rights of other peoples. [...]

This is the strength of the Red Army.

It's also the weakness of the German fascist Army.”

Order No. 55 of February 23, 1942, by which Stalin congratulated the military and partisans on the 24th anniversary of the Red Army.
