Artemovsk (06.02.23) - Wagner PMCs storm Ivanovskoye

And not only it. And in the area of Ivanovskoye, the Wagners were able to cut off the garrison from Kostyantynivka and Artemovsk and are now ironing its positions intensively.

To the north, the AFU defenses near Paraskoviyivka have also cracked and may well be squeezed through here as well by morning.

Everything suggests that if the Wagners have not yet gone for a decisive assault on the city (or to block it from the north and south), they will start it very shortly. In other words, the time is already running out for days, not weeks.

And the lack of AFU reserves is to blame. They are in short supply, and ours are pressing everywhere and at once. And that is why apart from Artemovsk we have successes today near Kremenna, near Marinka (probably tomorrow it will be already announced about its capture), and near Kupiansk.

And near Ugledar, the enemy reserves withdrawn from the north (that is, from where we have success) are waiting for our strike. And they will. But in due course.

❗️Head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov wondered what would happen if, after the successful end of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, the process of denazification and demilitarisation of Poland were to begin

"As part of its support for Ukraine, Warsaw has managed to deplete its own military resources, and now it is confused: what if, after the successful end of the SMO, Russia begins to denazify and demilitarise the next country? After all, after Ukraine, Poland is on the map! I do not hide it, I personally have such an intention and I have repeatedly stated that the fight against Satanism must continue throughout Europe and first and foremost in Poland. So it's about time the Poles got their act together," said Kadyrov.

Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki: The West has traded the fight for freedom for contracts with the Russian oligarchy. We often talk about Europe's dependence on Russian raw materials, but in reality, Putin acts like a drug dealer, and the dealer gives the first dose free or very cheaply so that the addict will come for more and agree to any price. The fact that Europe is so easily seduced by Russia is not only due to Putin's and Russia's demonic abilities, but above all to the weakness of Europe itself. We face a clear choice: either Russia's victory and the defeat of the West, or the renaissance of Western civilization. The present time may be called the time of struggle for a new world order. Poland is prepared to take joint responsibility for shaping a new world order. Poland is ready to become one of the key links in post-imperial Europe.

Mountain Assault Brigades:

Airborne:
77, 46

Tank:

Artillery:
43, 45, 40

NGU:

Others:

Some of them have already been withdrawn to the rear to be re-formed or simply withdrawn, as the fate of Bakhmut is sealed.

My point is that Ukrainian propaganda is very fond of saying that Wagner are bandits, cannibals, and so on and so forth.
So it turns out this whole list here couldn't stand up to Vasya White from IK6 (Inmate Colony 6)? 🤔

More than 300 servicemen and 60 units of military and special equipment are involved in the rescue operations in Syria, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Besides, the Defense Ministry stressed that 10 combined detachments of Russian servicemen were formed to help clear debris, look for victims, and provide them with medical assistance. To help the victims in Aleppo, Hama, Latakia, and the towns of Jubla, Stamu, and Bustan El Basha, there are six distribution points for humanitarian aid.

According to the ministry, the Russian military is working in the areas that suffered the most destruction. A mobile group of military medics has been set up at the Hmeymimim air base, four blood donation points have been deployed, and a joint operational headquarters has been set up to coordinate the forces and means involved in providing aid to the Syrian side.

⚡️Exclusive from the front line

The Russian Armed Forces are aware of the weaknesses of Western tanks - leaflets are distributed among the military near Seversk, which indicate where to aim best when encountering Leopard or Abrams.

RT Arabic's war correspondent Sargon @Sargon_Hadaya Khadaya was told this by the fighters. They added that after losing Soledar, the AFU retreated, easing the pressure on Russian units.

"The enemy is very much weakened, that is, and in terms of ammunition, they have some incomprehensible things going on - not enough ammunition, people. There are a lot of "two-hundredths", and "three-hundredths". Old men and young men who have not been shelled are also being driven in.

What happened in Soledar, the fact that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing well in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) - naturally, all this helps us to move towards Seversk," a military officer added.

Ukraine may lose part of the Donbass, but at the same time break through the southern front of the Russians, said Alexei Arestovich, a former adviser to the President's Office.

“The Americans and the West are well aware of where all this is going. In my opinion, they are preparing this exchange. We are losing a little bit of Donetsk and Lugansk because we will get tired of stopping 200 thousand (of Russians). Of course, we will have to move back - we understand this "The question is - to what extent, we hope that we will move back to a minimum, but if it is the blood of our troops, it is very difficult. Well, and we, most likely, break through the southern front (Zaporozhye and Kherson regions - Ed .) And get a major success "That is, an exchange for an exchange. And the Americans hope that this exchange will be in our favor and that we are entering from negotiating positions by force. The Americans are now saying all the time: we must provide Ukraine with the best negotiating positions. They must be provided with force. But all the same, the word “negotiations” sounds from the West, because everyone understands that Ukraine does not have a resource and the West will create it for years so that we knock out Russia by force,” Arestovich said.

Foreign Affairs analyzes the risks of Russia's use of nuclear weapons.

The publication notes the "ambiguity of the Russian doctrine and protocols", which allow any interpretation.

“Russian leaders, including Putin, have clarified that the invasion of Ukraine is not a war in which Russia will resort to nuclear weapons. But at the same time, Russian military doctrine provides little indication of the situation Russia is currently facing in Ukraine.

The publication said that "the most dangerous moment will come when Ukraine is on the verge of victory, and Putin feels that he can save his invasion only through an unprecedented escalation."

“But another dangerous moment will come if Russian military or political leaders decide that a direct military confrontation with NATO is inevitable. This is the second contingency that Western politicians should actively try to mitigate using measured deterrent communication and military maneuvers that cannot be misinterpreted as preparations for an operation against Russia.
