American media coverage of the conflict in Ukraine is not accurate, according to American journalist Seymour Hersh.

"The coverage of the conflict in Ukraine by leading American media, for example, The New York Times and The Washington Post, does not correspond to what is really happening," investigative journalist Hersh said on the air of the War Nerd podcast.

Hersh did not specify what he meant, but when asked by the host if his words meant that the conflict is not developing as well for Kiev as the American media are trying to portray, he answered in the affirmative.

"Russia has more than 350,000 regular servicemen who are not even involved in the conflict," he said.

This is how the Ukrainian Armed Forces intimidate in the media the brothers-in-arm who refused to fight for Zelensky.

Only the author of the video knows if this is a hoax or a reality

Wagner Chief Prigozhin has published the video of a Wagnerite who had surrendered to the AFU and criticized the Wagners and Russia. He was allegedly punished and killed by the Wagner PMC, but now it is reported that the alleged murder was staged. It was fake!

Dmitry Yakushchenko ( the Wagnerite who was "allegedly killed" by the Wagner PMC for surrendering to the AFU) says :
"At Wagner's PMC, everyone has the
 right to correct his mistake. "
When I was captured (by the AFU), I said a lot of bullshit." and I'm still ashamed of it. But it was the only way to survive. When I returned from captivity, I brought a lot of valuable information that saved the lives of many guys. Therefore, I was forgiven, for which I am very grateful."

⚡️⚡️⚡️ An exclusive report from our troops' forward positions in Marinka. It is about 300 meters from the Ukrainian armed forces' fighters. 18+.

>Two-thirds of the village is under the full control of our troops.

>Fighting is taking place not just for each house, but literally for each entranceway. Right now soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces occupy one wing of the former library building, the opposite wing is occupied by the Ukrainians.

>Where we retain a large advantage in artillery. For every dozen of our entries, the Kiev troops can afford to put down one or two retaliations.

>We have successfully gained a foothold in the building of School No. 2, and fighting is underway for full control of Druzhba Avenue.

>Russian fighters are storming the territory of the Zerkalnoye MTP. If successful in this direction, our troops will reach Ivan Franko Street, which, in turn, will enable them to establish fire control over Chestnut Street, which is now used by the AFU as the main supply artery for the remnants of their garrison.

>Ukrainian commanders are not sparing reserves here. Their losses are enormous. But they cannot simply leave Marinka: from here our troops will be able to flank the AFU grouping in Krasnogorovka (the most important junction point) or develop a flank offensive on Ugledar and Avdeevka.

There is not a single intact building left here.

The order for Aid groups to leave Bakhmut could be a prelude to a Ukrainian withdrawal —NYT

After months of withering bombardment, Russian forces, including both regular troops and mercenaries from the Wagner private military company, now appear to have surrounded Bakhmut on three sides. Ukraine’s military said that street fighting had commenced in two neighborhoods, and that the one remaining road that Ukrainian forces use to gain access to the city was under Russian fire.

Speaking in a video address posted online, a Ukrainian commander who goes by the nickname Madyar said the ban on aid organizations entering Bakhmut was necessary because the fighting now “exposes to danger even volunteers who come here with good intentions to help.”

The decision to close access to the city for aid groups suggests that the Ukrainian military cannot secure even areas in the city that for months had been considered relatively safe, such as neighborhoods on the western bank of the Bakhmutka River, which are farther from the range of Russian artillery strikes. It was yet another indication that Russian forces were edging closer to taking the city.

U.S. officials told Ukraine's representatives at a meeting at the Pentagon that the US does not have enough Army Tactical Missile Systems to give any up to Ukraine, according to four people familiar with the matter, Politico reported.
 
Providing ATACMS to Ukraine would diminish American stockpiles and hinder the U.S. military’s readiness for any future fight, the people told Politico.

"With any package, we always consider our readiness and our own stocks while providing Ukraine what it needs on the battlefield," a senior Defense Department official told Politico. "There are other ways of providing Ukraine with the capabilities it needs to strike the targets."
