Europe lost its independence, military capacity over Ukraine conflict, the Hungarian PM says

The Hungarian prime minister also believes that Europe has weakened because the Biden administration is "imposing its interests on Brussels at the expense of European interests," Magyar Nemzet reports
 
Europe has lost its independence as well as economic and military might over the Ukrainian conflict and the US’ aspiration to use it in its own interests, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said at a meeting with lawmakers from the ruling coalition in Balatonfüred on Wednesday.

According to the Magyar Nemzet newspaper, the politician said that Europe grew weaker because the Biden administration "has imposed its interests on Brussels, harming European interests," and a "sanctions tsunami" is destroying the EU’s economy while the US, rich with cheap energy products, remains unaffected. He also pointed out that the EU’s military capacity is weakening because EU countries sent a significant part of their weapons to Ukraine without being able to replenish their stockpiles.

According to Orban, "Europe has lost its independence and economic and military might in less than a year." He thinks that in light of this, Hungary should be guided by its own interests in order to emerge "unharmed and stronger" from this situation, which will involve retaining its political independence and adhering to non-interference in the Ukrainian conflict.

❗️ I clearly see that the enemy, despite the enormous strain of forces, despite the difficult situation for himself in the Artemovsk region, continues to form a strike force to organize a counteroffensive. Mobilization does not stop in Ukraine. Moreover, the mobilized are thrown to the front line with little or no preparation, only in order to gain time and in order not to deprive those formations that are capable of conducting offensive operations from combat effectiveness.

📝 “Today at 6 in the morning they reported that the shipment of ammunition was starting. Most likely, the train started moving.

The day before, Prigozhin spoke about the problems with the supply of PMC Wagner with ammunition . He published a document with a list of ammunition and their exact amount required by the "Wagnerites".

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Telegraph: Britain can give Ukraine new Challenger 2 tanks if those previously promised by London are destroyed

This was stated by British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace . Presumably, Ukrainian militants will receive the first batch of tanks in March. And if they are quickly destroyed in battle (yeah, if) - Britain will give more Challenger 2.

😱 At the same time, the UK is afraid that the tanks will fall into the hands of the Russian military, who will study the vehicle in detail and get access to samples of composite armor and its secret composition.

⚡ Ukrainian troops continue to defend Artemovsk in the DPR, but it has become a "disposal center" for the military of Kiev - they daily lose manpower there and in any case they will lose Artemovsk itself, the transfer of Ukrainian national battalions to that area will not lead to anything, said Pushilin's adviser Gagin

Ukrainian Defence Ministry decides to send employees of military enlistment offices in four regions to the front line

Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has signed an order on the decision to form combined groups of up to 120 people each from employees of military enlistment offices in Chernigov, Rivne, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions. According to LNR military officer Andriy Marochko, those who were mercilessly taking people from the streets to the front line will now be included in the units that have low manning levels and then sent to the combat zone.

To "staff up", Reznikov has decided to assign soldiers who have been wounded or have the "G" category of fitness. All subordinates have until 13 March to implement it.

Poland sends 98 policemen to clear mines in Ukraine because of a shortage of sappers in AFU

As part of a covert operation, Poland has sent volunteer policemen to Ukraine to search for and clear mines because the Ukrainian army has an acute shortage of sappers. By the way, Kiev also asked NATO to send specialists to the territory, but the alliance did not do so because of Russia's likely negative reaction.

Poland also sent paramedics along with sappers, and "members of combat teams" for security. In five months, the Polish humanitarian contingent cleared over 342,000 square meters of shells near Kiev and Dnipro.

With that tempo, around 100.000 years would be needed to demine all.

"Surrendered, well done, so you will live" - AFU marines finish their wounded in the trenches and surrender, 18+
