The Ukrainian army chief, Zaluzhnyy, has said that Russia is using naval surface drones. He said this while speaking to US Chief of Staff Mark Milley.

"Shared concerns about Russia's use of naval surface drones, which poses a threat to civilian navigation in the Black Sea," Zaluzhny said.

Note that footage of the alleged operation of such a drone was published last night. Telegram channels reported that it had blown up a bridge in Zatoka in Odessa Region. Officially, the authorities did not confirm this.

Zaluzhny did not specify exactly where the surface drone was used. But there were no reports other than the attack on the bridge in Zatoka.

Zaluzhny also outlined to Milli the situation on the front.

"The tensest situation today is in the Donetsk direction, here the enemy is launching up to 50 attacks every day. Stubborn battles continue near Ugledar and Marinka. We are holding the defense reliably. We have managed to restore previously lost positions in some parts of the front and hold ground there. Despite constant pressure from the enemy, we continue to hold Bakhmut under control and are taking measures to stabilize the front line around this town," the Commander-in-Chief said.

A Ukrainian soldier asks his commanders to withdraw the Ukrainian troops from Bakhmut.

You bastards, the Ukrainian command, take the guys out of Bakhmut! It will be a repeat of Azovstal! Take the guys out; how many video appeals have we already recorded? Why don't you hear bitches? Do you like it when our guys die, you bastards? Take your son or wife and take them to Bakhmut, and let them stand there! 
And you fucking deputies sit in a chair and shout glory to Ukraine? You are not patriots; you are murderers; you are beasts; you are devils! We don't ask for much: withdraw from Bakhmut; issue an order to withdraw troops from Bakhmut! Whatever the cost, it will be the right decision. 
I'll tell you another thing for sure: when the war is over, one hundred percent, there will be a sweep of our deputies for whom our heroes, our soldiers, died! Glory to Ukraine

Training of Ukrainians to manage Leopards will begin in Germany next week, Spiegel writes.

Training will take place at the training ground in the city of Munster (Lower Saxony). The military will learn basic tank driving skills and interaction with the Marder infantry fighting vehicle.

The course will last 6-8 weeks, which is considered a super-accelerated option, since tankers are usually trained for several years.

❗️In the Limansky direction, our soldiers unwound the 209th battalion of the 113th brigade of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which operated as part of the 66th separate mechanized brigade.

During February, this battalion lost almost half of its personnel. The total losses exceeded 200 people, of which 52 were killed and 165 were wounded. The survivors are demoralized and exhausted. Another 18 people deserted.

Due to the losses incurred, the 209th battalion lost the ability to conduct combat operations. In the coming days, he is being taken to Kharkov to restore combat readiness and replenish with new mobilized from the Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk regions.

In early March, this battalion is planned to be put back on the meat in one of the hottest sectors of the front.

Serbia may soon be forced to sanction Russia – Vucic
Western pressure on Belgrade will drastically increase as the Ukraine conflict escalates, the Serbian president said

The moment is approaching when Serbia will have no choice but to give in to Western demands to sanction its long time friend Russia, its President Aleksandar Vucic has warned.

In an interview with Prva broadcaster on Friday, Vucic said he expects “a major escalation” in the conflict in Ukraine over the next six months. The fighting to date will feel like “almost nothing, compared to what’s coming,” he warned.
This situation “will affect our country as the pressure on Belgrade, in terms of its relations with Russia, will become two or three times tougher – despite already being very strong now,” the president said.
Sanctioning Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine and recognizing the independence of the breakaway province of Kosovo have been singled out by Brussels as key conditions for Belgrade’s bid to join the EU.

Vucic, who has been rejecting both demands for months, now says the moment may eventually come when Belgrade would have to join the EU’s curbs on Moscow

“Let us push like this as long as we can, I will know when the moment is right, and I will not hide anything from people. That moment [when Serbia sanctions Russia] has been approaching for a long time, I am afraid that it’s not even months away,” he said.

The Serbian president revealed that he used to believe that the West, which is backing the Kiev government with weapons, funds and intelligence, was getting the upper hand in Ukraine. However, “at this moment, it’s no longer entirely clear who is winning in Ukraine,” he added.

Moscow’s chances of succeeding have been boosted by the fact that there is now “unity” among the Russian people regarding the conflict, especially after the announcement by Berlin and some other countries last month that German-made Leopard tanks would be supplied to Kiev, he said.
According to Vucic, it’ll be “difficult” for Serbia no matter who prevails in Ukraine. “The West doesn’t want a country allied with Russia in the middle of Europe. On the other hand, Russia doesn’t want to lose everything it has in the Balkans,” he said.

That’s why Belgrade remains among the few international players who speak about the need for a diplomatic solution to the crisis, but “no one is allowed to mention peace anymore,” he stated.

Serbian PM Brnabic said Serbia's refusal to impose sanctions on Russia remains the main obstacle to a speedier EU accession bid.
