Relatives of captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are asking not to return them home. First Deputy Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky said:

"It is getting to the point where the mothers and wives of Ukrainian soldiers, in their appeals to the Commissioner for Human Rights in Russia, are asking to leave their loved ones in our country so that they are not sent back to fight."

Former advisor to the Ukrainian president's office, Arestovich, has begun to prepare Ukrainians for the worst. He said: "87% of our society says that the liberation of all Ukrainian territory by military means is our goal." Another 4% say they are ready to bargain for Crimea, but Donbass is definitely a military option. Now the question is, what if that doesn't happen? What will happen to the society, which had inflated expectations and, as a result, received the conditional Minsk-3? It's the return spring of unrealized expectations that will kick us, our morals, and everything else, so much so that we'll just be stunned. That's why the way out of this war may be quite different from what we all thought six months ago, or even three months ago. And not because the insidious Americans don't give us weapons, but because, in principle, we need about 400 thousand perfectly trained troops, armed from head to toe with NATO weapons. to seriously grind it all up and liberate the territory. Do we have it? No. Will we have it in the next year? not going to happen. So the moral of this fable is simple. Are we, as a society, ready for a different outcome than we thought we'd get? We're not. [Not ready because no one has ever talked about it in principle.] So I decided to talk about it.

Ukraine may already have nuclear weapons.

This was stated by the former commander of the ground forces of Poland, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, in an interview with Radio ZET.
"I do not rule out that Ukraine has nuclear weapons, because Ukrainians have nuclear power plants, scientists, laboratories, and the technology." That is, they have everything they need to have such a weapon.
"In principle, today no one will forbid Ukrainians to have it," he said.

The U.S. intelligence community has linked the Chinese spy balloon shot down on Saturday to a vast surveillance program run by the People’s Liberation Army, and U.S. officials have begun to believe allies and partners who have been similarly targeted.

The surveillance balloon effort, which has operated for several years partly out of Hainan province off China’s south coast, has collected information on military assets in countries and areas of emerging strategic interest to China including Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines, according to several U.S. officials, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Officials have said these surveillance airships, operated in part by the PLA air force, have been spotted over five continents

🇺🇦 Bodies of the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are found without vital organs in the morgue of the city hospital in Nikolaev.

Corpses of soldiers without organs or signs of injury appeared in the city morgue on Volodarsky Street.

📝 "We have already begun to see how corpses of fighters without injuries are used for organ harvesting," said the activist of the Nikolaev underground.

The Ukrainian authorities often do not include the mobilized citizens of the region in any government list or record, and when they are killed, the Ukrainian authorities neither investigate the circumstances of death nor care for the storage and handling of corpses. Illegal transplantologists take full advantage of this crisis.

Arrestovich on Zelenski's psychology: Zelenski is a weak man, he has two keys - petty ego and fear. The guards do not let anyone near him. They break him psychologically and put him in fear. And at the same time, he arrives at the 95th quarter performance, jumps on stage, and dances, the president of the country, in front of the audience. Psychologically speaking, this means a split personality. He lives in two worlds. In one, he is scared and attacked by villains. On the other, he is loved and there in a familiar atmosphere. And no one tries to build bridges between these worlds, they are carefully broken.

Ukrainian armed forces face an acute shortage of officers and enlisted personnel in the SMO zone - Marochko

The German defense minister has no confidence that Ukraine will be able to reclaim Donbass and Crimea.

"It's a difficult question and looking into a crystal ball," is how Boris Pistorius responded to Bild's question about these regions.

"Ukraine is fighting incredibly bravely. It has great soldiers. It is imperative that we continue to support Ukraine to the best of our ability," he added at the same time.

Asked if the world would be a better place without Putin, Pistorius replied in the affirmative, "without hesitation and compromise."

He also noted that he was not intimidated by nuclear threats on Russian television.

"At the end of the day, none of us know what Putin will do, but that should not prevent us from providing reasonable support together with our allies," he stressed.
