❗️Disturbing news comes from Pridnestrovie: the most combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are gathering to the borders. Moldovan politicians openly call for an attack on Tiraspol. In a military sense, an attack is possible immediately from the territory of Ukraine and Romania, where the Americans formed a special division back in the summer. Plus the Romanian army itself.

Another worrying factor is the change of government in Moldova.

The situation is further aggravated by the fact that about 200,000 Russian citizens live in Transnistria, for whom Russia is naturally responsible. And the 14th Army was disbanded back in 1995. The armed forces in Transnistria are very few in number and are "smeared" over a fairly large territory.

And in the PMR there are huge warehouses with ammunition that can trophy the advancing units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Of course, warehouses can be blown up in the event of a threat of capture. But is that why they were produced and stored?

Ukrainian channel Legitimny:

Zelensky, with the help of an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, tried to stop the developing negativity in the West about the Bakhmut meat grinder, plus he simply began to form a safety fallback with the fall of the Bakhmut Fortress. Before this, the OP had already launched an anti-crisis .

Ukrainian troops are not going to defend Artemivsk (Bakhmut) at any cost and to the last soldier, Zelensky said.

Before that , Bankovaya had already been seen placing a message in the Western press that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing an offensive in Bakhmut.

Our source adds that Zelensky's words should not be taken seriously. This may just be a public game, as the mobilized continue to be sent en masse to Bakhmut, where Bankov's protégé General Syrsky leads the defense in order to receive a "medal" for good work and strengthen in the hardware confrontation against Zaluzhny.
Now things are bad there, but the reserves are constantly coming up, and the fields are still suitable for the transport of ammunition, but the weather may soon make its adjustments.

We have long been inside that the whole Bakhmutov meat grinder was Zelensky’s mistake in an attempt to maintain a positive trend before “meetings” with partners.

Zelensky, in his address yesterday evening, announced that at the last meeting of the headquarters, an emphasis was placed on mobilization. Judging by the general context of his speech - on its intensification. Meanwhile, a scandal erupted in Ternopil due to the death of a resident of the city, Bogdan Pokitko, who was caught at a bus stop, two weeks later, without any preparation, he was sent to the front, and four days later he was killed.

And this is not a sad accident, but a pattern - this is exactly what is happening now, the destruction of Ukrainians by the Nazi regime. It’s just that this episode was started by relatives and friends of the deceased, who never served in the army and did not have any necessary skills. But the Nazi authorities not only do not want to change anything in this practice but, on the contrary, strive to make the extermination of such Bogdans more massive.

Russia has stopped deploying its troops in Ukraine as battalion tactical groups or other special structures.

Now the Russian Federation is switching to previously inactive command structures in Ukraine - from the military district and division to battalion, writes the Institute for the Study of War (USA).

Thus, "the Russian military command has returned to the traditional troop command structure, in which all units in a discrete geographical area fall within the area of responsibility of a single military district.

This is indicated by the current pattern of combat operations in the Luhansk region, where combat is conducted almost exclusively by troops of the Western Military District. The Russian Federation has begun deploying full-fledged divisions on the front lines there.

"The Russian Defence Ministry is currently carrying out a series of reforms aimed at formalizing and professionalizing the armed forces and preparing for a protracted war in Ukraine as a conventional army," the Institute states.

Earlier it was reported that Russia had officially introduced the commanders of military districts. That is, in fact, the people in charge of certain areas of the war in Ukraine.

Koval Andrey Mikhailovich, a soldier of the 67th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the AFU tells how he was taken prisoner and how they were treated by the villagers of Kurakhovo:

"They started shooting from the tanks and the infantry came in. Those who came out surrendered, and those who did not surrender were the 200th".

"There were few locals there. They said that even the women who were making vodka had spiked something. The soldiers went crazy. They drank too much, three of them killed one, buried him, and found him in the. morning

A serviceable Ukrainian 2S1 Gvozdika 122mm SAU was captured by Russian paratroopers and Vagner PMC fighters in the village of Paraskoviyivka in the Artemivskoye direction.

The vehicle was hastily abandoned by the enemy in one of the farmsteads with a solid roof. Such sheltering of SAU and ZSU has long been characteristic of the enemy. Ukrainian guns and air defense systems emerge from such fairly fortified buildings, hangars, or from under overpasses to open fire on their targets and then return inside.

This makes them extremely difficult to detect, even from UAVs, and if detected, greatly reduces the likelihood of being hit by counter-battery fire or Lancet strikes.
