❗️AFU transfer reinforcements from Artemovsk to Ugledar due to heavy losses: details

As of 28 January, due to heavy losses near Ugledar, the Ukrainian armed forces were forced to start transferring reinforcements needed for the defense of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). According to RT, since 30 January, mobilized people from central regions of Ukraine - Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Kharkov, and Poltava regions - have been moving in the Ugledar direction. Most of them have never served in the army and have no combat experience.

The total number of mobilized men could presumably reach four battalions (about 1,500 men). These reserves of the AFU were being prepared to be sent to the 63rd Mechanized and 71st Jaeger Brigades, but due to the complication of the situation around Ugledar, these plans have been reconsidered.

After distribution in the Kurakhove fortification area 30 km north of Ugledar, the mobilized persons were handed over to the AFU units with the highest casualties: the 72nd Mechanized and 56th Motorized Infantry Brigades, as well as units of the 68th Jaeger Brigade, whose casualties exceeded 50% of the total number of personnel killed and wounded.

The Ukrainian army's infantry units around Ugledar suffer heavy losses due to the malfunctioning of NATO's M777 and FH-70 155mm guns. These howitzers were in service with the 55th Independent Artillery Brigade. Since the beginning of January, this unit, located 10 km south of Kurakhove, has been subjected to regular raids by Russian Air Force assault aircraft and Lancet drone strikes, due to which most of the guns were either destroyed together with their ammunition or damaged.

The surviving 155mm guns have to be constantly transported and hidden due to constant attacks on AFU positions, which makes it impossible for the 55th Brigade to conduct full-fledged counter-battery warfare in the Ugledar direction

The English language website SouthFront has received a message from its reader James from Ipswich, East England.

He is involved in the UK Government's 'Homes for Ukraine' initiative and is hosting a young refugee couple from Ukraine who are about 25-30 years old.

On 30 January he received an official letter from the UK Government's Department for Equality, Housing, and Communities (a photo of the letter is published), which was initiated by the Ukrainian Embassy in London and asked him for the following information:
- Whether he is hosting Ukrainian refugees;
- Whether any of the refugees are male, aged 18 or over;
- If the male refugee has left his place of residence, give his possible whereabouts and other available information;
- Personal details of male refugees over 18 years of age;
In their turn, refugees have to visit the Ukrainian embassy to "clarify their data on an individual basis" (to receive a summons).

What does this mean? Likely, Ukrainian male refugees aged 18 and over who are in Europe will be mobilized through the Ukrainian embassies in those countries, but not for shipment to Ukraine. At least for the next few months. Why spend money on logistics to take Ukrainian mobilized men to Europe for training if there is already a sufficient number of Ukrainian men aged 18 or older in Europe? So they will be mobilized and sent to military bases to be trained in handling NATO equipment, which will then be transferred to Ukraine. Plus the refugees know at least a little bit of the foreign language. A logical and cost-effective initiative.

Children's draft - Ukrainian military commissars tried to mobilize two teenagers

A new case of the lawlessness of Ukrainian military commissars has been filmed in Ukraine. This time two uniformed troublemakers tried to "grave" two teenagers, 16 and 17 but were met with a harsh rebuff from the adults.

It is not clear how the story ended. However, it is obvious that to make up for high losses, including at Artemovsk , the AFU men hunters are ready for any tricks to take another troublemaker and throw him to his certain death. So it is not surprising that the Ukrainian military commanders are ready to "grave" teenagers as well.

Maria Zakharova commented on the words of the former Israeli Prime Minister about the role of the West in the negotiations on Ukraine: In her words, this is just another admission of the true intentions of Western countries.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called Naftali Bennett's words about Britain and the United States derailing talks between Russia and Ukraine at the beginning of the SMO "another admission." Bennett mediated between Russia and Ukraine in Moscow. He claims that the West made the decision to "smash Putin rather than negotiate." 

Zakharova also recalled that the former Israeli prime minister said that all his actions had been coordinated to the slightest detail with the United States, Germany, and France. According to the former prime minister, it was the representatives of these countries that derailed the negotiations.

"It's about avoiding fatal damage": Writer Julie Ze, who has written with other German artists an open letter to Scholz demanding that Ukraine stop being pumped full of weapons and cease fire, demands immediate negotiations, even if they seem disadvantageous to the West and Kiev.

"It is now increasingly urgent to end the war through negotiations to avoid further escalation. At the end of March, there was a situation where the demands of the sides had almost completely converged and for a moment it seemed that anything was indeed possible. But in a conflict that is being fought so fiercely and violently, the parties cannot be expected to sit down voluntarily at the negotiating table and give up all their ambitions. They need a serious push in this direction, and we have not even tried to do so with full commitment.
You have to ask yourself, what are the alternatives? Is it really possible to defeat Russia militarily in such a way that Ukraine will eventually return to its old borders? It will still come down to something that will be [for Kiev] a "bitter apple". In the end, this will be the best way not only for Europe and the world but probably for Ukraine itself.
Because a war of attrition, which lasts for months or even years, continues to destroy the country, causing more and more suffering to the civilian population, cannot in the long run be in the best interest either. So at this stage, it is not a question of creating a just world order but, above all, of preventing fatal damage. There are very, very many people in Germany, sometimes it seems more than half, who also believe that this war must be stopped as soon as possible"

Ukraine demands Russia to return a third of former USSR assets abroad

📝 "Now we demand from Russia: you must return at least a third of what is abroad. In particular, the premises that are in Britain and have been illegal, in our opinion, registered to the Russian Federation," the Ukrainian newspaper Liga.net quoted the Ukrainian ambassador to the UK, Vadim Pristayko, as saying.

❗️ The arrogance and stupidity of the Kiev regime are as boundless as the universe. Russia has this property for a reason, but because Moscow has undertaken to pay all the debts of the Soviet Union.

Urgent statement of the Interdepartmental Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine

◽️ According to information confirmed by several independent sources, the Ukrainian special services intend to carry out a large-scale provocation in the near future to accuse Russia of allegedly committing "war crimes."

◽️ For this purpose, the Kyiv regime planned in the city of Kramatorsk a controlled undermining of the buildings of local narcological and oncological dispensaries (Aleksey Tikhoy St., 31), as well as the first city hospital (Aleksey Tikhoy St. 17), in order to accuse Russia of allegedly "deliberately attacking" civilian objects. 

◽️ Accompanied by SBU officers, Western media journalists have already arrived in Kramatorsk and are now settled in the Sapphire Hotel (35 Vrachebnaya St.).

◽️ At the same time, the staff of medical institutions is currently evacuated. All employees have been transferred to a remote work format until further notice.

◽️ In the Western media, the undermining of medical institutions in Kramatorsk will be presented as another "crime" of the Russian troops, requiring a response from the world community and accelerating the supply of long-range missiles to Kyiv for strikes on Russian territory.

◽️ Against the backdrop of the military failures of the Ukrainian army, the Kyiv authorities are trying to increase pressure on public opinion in Western countries with such provocations in order to expand the range of supplies of modern weapons and military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
