⚡️⚡️⚡️ 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."

Russia needs to be prepared for NATO to use all of its weapons, except nuclear weapons, in the conflict in Ukraine, says historian Kohlerov.

The former head of the department for interregional and cultural relations with foreign countries in the presidential administration of Russia is sure that the reserves of Western countries are running out, but Russia also needs to honestly check all its weapons systems:

"This war is a reason for us to check everything." And not to panic if suddenly we have the wrong kid with something. All right, he'll learn; he'll get it next time. It's inevitable. The full non-nuclear involvement of the entire NATO military potential in the war in Ukraine is inevitable...(a full non nuclear war with NATO is inevitable) The cardboard elephant turned out to be cardboard, and they have nothing but nuclear weapons and advanced missile systems.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Serbia accuses a Serbian newspaper of supporting "Russian aggression."

The Embassy of Ukraine in Belgrade was not pleased with the leading Serbian newspaper Politika, which was accused of "open support of the Russian aggression against Ukraine." The reason was an interview with the leader of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, which was published today.

At the same time, the day before, "Politika" also published an interview with the Ambassador of Ukraine in Belgrade, Vladimir Tolkach.

American officials are putting pressure on Ukraine, pushing it to be more active on the battlefield, writes The Washington Post with reference to officials.

Washington believes that the Western aid provided to Kiev is enough to change the course of events, but in the future it will be difficult to get the same volumes of supplies from Congress, so they need to act now.

Maria Zakharova commented on media reports regarding Washington's increasing pressure on Kiev on the issue of fighting.

"This is what is called "the war of the West against Russia to the last Ukrainian." American neoliberals have destroyed Ukraine and are exterminating the Ukrainian people. American hegemonic ambitions lead to colossal sacrifices," Maria @MariaVladimirovnaZakharova Zakharova responded to the article.
