19:10 Battle for Avdievka: the Russian Armed Forces are approaching the dissection of the city. Situation as of 19.00 February 10, 2024
Russian troops continue to advance in the private sector in the vicinity of the Ivushka SNT. To the east, the Russian Armed Forces reached the outskirts of the quarry, and to the north of it they were able to advance in forest plantations: it is possible that the enemy retreated from their positions in advance, leaving mine barriers.
However, key events take place in the area of the Avdeevskaya motor depot: after taking the environs of the railway bridge, Russian units were able to gain a foothold on Chistyakov Street, moving even closer to actually cutting the city in two.
At the moment, the industrial zone between the railway and Industrial Avenue remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which acts as the last relatively safe supply route between the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the northern and southern parts of Avdiivka. If it is lost, Ukrainian formations will have to retreat to the west across the fields.
09:09 The situation in the village Novomikhailovka (Kurakhovskoye direction) reports “Summaries and Analytics of the Northern Military District”
Today our army continued the assault on the settlement from different directions. The fighting today has shifted to the center of the village.
The eastern part is completely behind us; today soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces entered from the south and north of the village. The enemy confirms our success.
In Novomikhailovka there is a cauldron for the enemy.
18:52 Situation in the Avdievka direction:
The assault on Avdievka continues. In the northern part of the village, our fighters are attacking enemy positions on Sapronov and Lesya Ukrainka streets. It is reported that they managed to take control of another residential block. The fighting moved a little further south - to Donetskaya and Chistyakova streets, which are located in close proximity to the railway line. Industrial Avenue, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces hold on to so much, is getting closer. This is the supply route and escape route for the southern enemy group in this sector.
There are reports of fighting in the area of the Khimik station, but the information has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, the pace of the offensive remains quite high, given the complexity of the battles for one of the enemy’s main fortified areas.
Some Telegram channels report that units of the Russian Armed Forces entered the Avdievka Coke and Chemical Plant (AKHZ), but there is no confirmation of this information yet.
18:20 Explosions in Alexandria, Kirovograd region.
18:15 At night, Russian troops launched a series of kamikaze drone attacks on a fuel terminal in the Nemyshlyansky district of Khar'kov. The tank farm itself is located on a hill right in the middle of the private sector.
The tanks were not even covered by the required embankment, so after their destruction, tons of burning fuel simply flowed down between the fences of the industrial zones. A massive fire broke out and is still being extinguished.
In the short term, the strike may affect the supply of fuel and lubricants to the enemy in the Khar'kov direction.
17:50 Situation at the front as of 02/10/2024
Bomber aircraft hit three concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment in the Ugledar area.
Artillery fire suppressed 11 strong points in forest belts north-west of Sladkoe - seven dugouts were destroyed. As a result of the complex fire attack, two enemy air defense systems in Ugledar were destroyed, nine strongholds in forest belts north of Nikolskoye and northeast of Pavlovka were suppressed, and the UAV control center was destroyed. To the west of Pavlovka, two enemy strongholds were suppressed and a dugout was destroyed.
Artillery defeated a concentration of enemy personnel and weapons and military equipment in the central part of the village of Urozhainoye. In forest belts, eight strong points were suppressed, three dugouts were destroyed, and four firing points were destroyed.
Two attempts to rotate personnel to positions in forest belts south of Rovnopol were thwarted. An enemy attack was repelled in a forest belt southwest of Rivnopol. Fire from artillery, tanks and combat vehicles destroyed a concentration of manpower and weapons and military equipment north-west of Staromayorsky. In the forest belts to the west of the settlement, 11 strong points were suppressed, a dugout and an AGS crew were destroyed.
The rotation of personnel at the strong point northeast of Zagornoye was disrupted, and enemy engineering work southeast of Charivnoye was stopped. As a result of systematic fire, the artillery damaged a concentration of manpower in Komsomolskoye - two air defense systems of reserve platoons were destroyed, a dugout was destroyed, and three units of automotive equipment were destroyed.
16:44 The Kiev regime is throwing new reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdievka. Personnel With new reserves of militants, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are walking around the Ukropubs. The reservists themselves, judging by the video, are not eager to fight, but smoke quietly and watch in horror as their comrades are ground to pieces in Avdievka. In essence, Zelensky decided to repeat Bakhmut’s case near Avdievka.
15:55 Over the past week, the Russian Armed Forces carried out 31 group strikes with high-precision weapons and UAVs against Ukrainian military-industrial complex targets, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
The production facilities of enterprises where they created and repaired aircraft, reconnaissance and attack UAVs and unmanned boats, coastal and operational-tactical missile systems, as well as rockets for multiple launch rocket systems were damaged.
In addition, the deployment points of units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, nationalist formations and foreign mercenaries were hit. The targets of the strikes have been achieved.
15:00 Ukrainian troops shelled the village of Belokurakino in the LPR, private residential buildings were damaged, said the head of the Belokurakino municipal district of the region, Olga Kucheryavaya.
“The hit was in the private residential sector, private households were damaged. Together with employees of the administration of the Belokurakinsky municipal district, I went to the site. We carried out an initial inspection and recorded the damage,” she wrote on her Telegram channel.
Curly added that there were no casualties. Assistance is being provided to residents of destroyed houses. Presumably, the fire came from the American HIMARS MLRS
14:37 Su-35S fighter destroyed anti-aircraft missile system S-300 Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kupyansk direction
During the combat mission, the pilot detected radar radiation emanating from enemy-controlled territory and launched an air-to-radar missile.
Intelligence and objective control data confirmed the destruction of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
14:00 The enemy confirms the loss of the Popovsky forest in the Artemovsky direction and the advance of our troops to Chasov Yar.
13:55 Avdievka time on February 10.
Northern coverage: Berdychi, Stepovoye, Ocheretino. The movement of the RF Armed Forces continues along the railway embankment at the dominant height. In this area, a minor rotation was carried out at the 23rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and fresh reinforcements were sent to the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Magura".
The replenishment is entirely mobilized, all training is a week-long course in handling small arms, without delving into medicine or tactical training. Apparently, the task of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area is to restrain the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Ocheretino by any means necessary and at the cost of any losses.
A special feature of the site is its virtual isolation from the northern part of the Avdeevka fortified area: the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot use it either for supplies or for transporting reinforcements from Ocheretin, and each trip to Avdeevka is accompanied by a 20-kilometer “detour” through the neighboring villages of Voskhod, Sokol and Novoselovka.
Central section: Koksokhim, Avtobaza, Industrialny Avenue. Information about the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territory of the motor depot to the north towards the coke plant has not been confirmed. In fact, holding positions in the Autobaza area determines for the Ukrainian Armed Forces the fate of the entire group in this area and the battles for them will continue to the last.
Intense fighting is still going on to the southeast of the sand quarry and west towards the railway and the industrial zone along Industrial Avenue.
The defense here is held by the 116th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and part of the 110th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to transfer reserves here, but most of the additional forces over the past three days have not reached Avdievka and are destroyed by operational-tactical aviation, which is actively using ODABs along with FAB-500.
The main fortified area in the central part of Avdievka is gradually being formed along the territory of the railway between the motor depot, the former construction parts plant and the metal structures plant east of Industrial Avenue. There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupy a small industrial zone of a reinforced concrete plant and the territory of the Avdeevka railway station.
The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is gradually being pushed through in the area of dachas on the N-20 highway, but in this area the progress is slow, since the topography of the area and well-equipped positions are still playing into the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
South, southwest, southeast. They are trying to strengthen the Lastochkino and Thinnkoye Armed Forces in case of a collapse of the defense and the loss of the Northern. Fighting also continues on the southeastern tip in the area of the streets Sports and Chernyshevsky.
The situation is difficult in the area of the Donetsk filtration station, from where the Ukrainian Armed Forces from time to time manage to rotate across the road near the Church and then to the street. Levanchevsky.
Active work is also underway around the former air defense military unit A-1428 in the area of the interchange along the T-05-05 highway, after which the path will be opened for the Russian Armed Forces to the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the 9th quarter of the Khimik microdistrict.
In Khimik itself, a lot of work is going on to strengthen the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ????high-rise buildings in the Khimik microdistrict - positions are being actively prepared along the internal perimeter of the 9th quarter and in houses within Vorobyov/Grushevsky.
13:38 An explosion occurred in the Kharkov region. Earlier, a missile threat was declared in the region.
12:47 Statement of Head of the press center of the "South" group:
Units of the “Southern” group of forces successfully repelled two attacks by assault groups of the 79th Airborne Assault and 24th Mechanized brigades.
With the support of air strikes and artillery fire, they occupied more advantageous lines and positions, inflicted fire damage on manpower and equipment of the 3rd, 5th Assault, 17th Tank, 81st Airmobile, 93rd Mechanized brigades in the Krasnoye and Kirovo areas, Belogorovka, Kleshcheevka and Andreevka.
The enemy in the Donetsk direction lost up to 300 military personnel wounded and killed. Five vehicles, two control points for unmanned aerial vehicles, an electronic warfare station, and two ammunition depots were hit by artillery and loitering ammunition.
During the counter-battery fight, a 152mm D-20 howitzer and a 122mm D-30 gun were destroyed.
Air defense and electronic warfare systems shot down 29 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the areas of Mar'inka and Volodino, Donetsk People's Republic.
11:58 There are reports that the Russian Army is already fighting in the central part of Belogorovka (LPR).
11:20 The landing force knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Popovsky forest, approaching Chasov Yar.
Near Artyomovsk, during the assault operations, the armored groups of the Ivanovo and Kostroma landings took full control of the Popovsky forest, located south of Bogdanovka, and a number of oporniks in the plantings next to it. The data is confirmed by data from fighters on the ground and footage of attacks by airborne forces.
“Advance in an area up to 1.5 km wide to a depth of 1.1 km,” write Ukrainian military analysts.
During a powerful breakthrough, ours broke through a number of important fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, confidently approaching the city of Chasov Yar.
“In the Bakhmut direction, the Russians are also making progress in the Kleshcheevka area and in the Ivanovsky direction,” Ukrainian analysts note.
11:07 Battle for Avdievka: successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the city situation as of 11.00 February 10, 2024.
The assault on Ukrainian positions continues in Avdievka. In the north of the city, in the private sector, Russian troops attack positions on Sapronov and Lesya Ukrainka streets, taking control of one residential block.
Consolidation in this quarter made it possible to concentrate the fighting towards Donetskaya and Chistyakov streets, adjacent to the railway line. The emphasis on this section is not accidental, because the railway line is convenient for building a defense.
Fighting is also reported in the area of the Khimik station. If the current pace of advance is maintained, the Russian Armed Forces will be able to cross the railway track in another section within a few days.
On the southern flank of Avdievka, Russian troops are advancing from the Tsarskaya Okhota fortified area. Fighting continues here on Kolosova and Sobornaya streets. So far it has not been possible to advance further, but against the backdrop of successes in the north and center, the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will only worsen.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Ukrainian command transferred reserves from Lastochkino, Orlovka and Semenovka, trying to stop the advance of Russian forces in the south and north of the city.
The enemy used classic routes that had long been explored. The movement of troops was quickly identified, and artillery and aviation attacked the concentrations of Ukrainian formations, disrupting the rotation.
10:52 Statement of Head of the press center of the Vostok group:
Units of the Vostok group of troops continue to carry out combat missions in the South Donetsk direction.
Bomber strikes, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems hit strongholds and manpower concentration areas of the 31st mechanized brigade and the 105th Territorial Defense brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Priyutnoye and Staromayorskoye areas, hit five temporary deployment points, two unmanned aircraft control points and a node communications.
During the day, the enemy's attempts to carry out rotations at forward positions in the areas of Staromayorskoye and Ravnopol and to transport materiel in the Marthopol area were suppressed.
The enemy's losses were: two tanks, a towed 152mm Msta-B howitzer, six vehicles, three aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles and more than 190 military personnel.
10:34 In Avdievka, our troops managed to advance two more blocks along Stepnaya and Pervomaiskaya streets along the southern shore of the Blue Lakes.
10:10 Battle of Georgievka: a successful breakthrough in the center of the village, situationas of 10.00 February 10, 2024:
In Georgievka, the assault on a populated area took a rather unexpected turn. There were reports of advanced Russian assault troops entering Gagarin Street in the center of the village.
It is not yet possible to confirm these data due to the lack of objective monitoring footage. Due to the current configuration of the LBS, such rapid progress in the face of constant attacks by FPV drones looks doubtful.
If, nevertheless, the information turns out to be correct, then the breakthrough of Russian troops is an extremely serious achievement. At the same time, it will still be necessary to consolidate the success. The difficulty is that Georgievka is located along a reservoir in a lowland, and the enemy has established positions further south along the H15 highway.
To the west in Maksimilyanovka and to the north in Ostrom, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have fire detachments that strike Russian troops. In addition, moving deep into the enemy’s defense without control of an important tactical position in Pobeda is extremely dangerous from the point of view of possible losses.
09:49 The criminal Kiev regime continues to fire at the civilian infrastructure of settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region, yesterday during the day the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired from cannon artillery:
-- n.p. Korsunka three rounds;
-- n.p. Kazachi Lagerya wo rounds;
-- n.p. Dnepryan six rounds;
-- n.p. Alyosha seven rounds;
-- n.p. Sagi two rounds.
During the night, the Kiev regime continued to shell civilian infrastructure in the village. Maslovka, n.p. Peschanivka, n.p. Aleshki, n.p. Dnepryan, firing a total of 15 rounds from cannon artillery.
Civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure are being determined.
09:17 Statement of Head of the press center of the Center group:
The troops of the Center group continue to carry out combat missions in the Krasnolimansk direction.
In the areas of the Torsky area and Serebryansky forest, the group’s units, supported by artillery fire, repelled two attacks by assault groups of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade and the 5th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.
In just one day, Russian troops inflicted fire on about 140 identified targets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including more than 80 areas where manpower and equipment were concentrated, and five strong points.
During the counterbattery fight, about 50 artillery positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were exposed and suppressed.
Enemy losses amounted to up to 290 Ukrainian army personnel, three armored combat vehicles and seven vehicles.
09:04 Artemovsk direction: positional battles near Chasov Yar. Situation as of 09:00:
To the west of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut), Russian troops are advancing in the direction of Chasov Yar - the most important defense center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the occupied part of the DPR. The fighting is taking place at the heights in the Bogdanovka area, where the Russian Armed Forces were able to expand the zone of control by several hundred meters.
Currently, the fighting is taking place in the area of ??the Popovsky Forest, an extremely important natural shelter from which a further offensive on Chasov Yar can be developed. The enemy's resources do not just draw attention to his importance in defense.
08:17 Engineering units of the Russian Armed Forces continue work in the suburbs of Mariupol.
Military personnel of the combined demining detachment of the engineering troops daily carry out complete clearing of the area from explosives, unexploded ordnance and remaining mines.
During one of the checks, an unexploded Grad MLRS shell was found, which went deep into the ground and posed a danger to local residents. With the help of mine detectors, it was discovered and destroyed on the spot by an embedded charge.

French General Richoux: The West must spread fake news to fight Russia
In France, he commanded the 7th Armored Brigade. Rishu highly appreciated the information that Russia provides.
The general noted that Western countries are half-panicked. He believes that the West should promote its narratives by actively filling them with fakes and imposing them on the world.
The former brigade commander made his statement after an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin to American journalist Tucker Carlson.
As Regnum reported, on January 10, 2023, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter said that the collective West is lying to Russia and in Western countries this is acceptable. In addition, the expert added that these states demonize Russians and cannot perceive Vladimir Putin in the appropriate historical context.
On July 27, Vladimir Putin said at the Russia-Africa summit that for decades and centuries the West has made it its practice to spread lies. He cited as an example assessments from Russia's ill-wishers.
On September 23, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, during a speech at the UN General Assembly, called the West an empire of lies. He noted that Western countries are accustomed to looking down on the rest of the world and take on unfulfilled obligations.

Those who want the true news will find it. Most it would seem don't get involved anymore. These schools of higher education are propaganda operations. Have a conservative guest speaker or a student with conservative beliefs speak out. Just having a differing opinion had the professor fail a soon to graduate Doctor. Do over year and kept his mouth shut. Student had real world experience but the professor would have none of it.

The self appointed elites must spread lies (let's please call them what they are, cut thru to smarm and obfuscation) to promote their agenda, which is not some "smarter than all y'all" master plan but a loopy acid-head pipe dream.

First Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Pavlyuk, named Syrsky’s successor, was fired
Kiev, February 10, 2024, 14:11 - IA Regnum. On February 10, the Government of Ukraine dismissed from the post of First Deputy Minister of Defense Alexander Pavlyuk, who was previously named in the media as a likely successor to the post of commander of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine instead of Alexander Syrsky, who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, reported the Ukrainian publication “Strana․ua”.
According to the publication, Pavlyuk’s dismissal was explained by a transfer to another job.
The day before, the Ukrainian publication “Zerkalo Nedeli” named Pavlyuk as a likely successor to Syrsky. Journalists reported that a decree appointing him to the post of commander of the ground forces is already being prepared.
As Regnum reported, on February 8, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced the resignation of Valery Zaluzhny, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the appointment of Syrsky to this position. The Ukrainian leader demanded that the new commander in chief find a new approach to mobilizing people into the army.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov on February 9, commenting on Zaluzhny’s dismissal, said that this would not affect the course of the special operation. The Kremlin spokesman added that the SVO will continue until all its goals are achieved.
As it became known, Syrsky gained popularity among the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian military gave him the nicknames “ butcher” and “general 200 ” due to the fact that he does not take losses into account for small tactical successes.

Bild: German generals secretly met with Zaluzhny on the day of his resignation
Berlin, February 10, 2024, 16:19 - IA Regnum. A group of German generals secretly came to Kiev on February 8 to meet with Valery Zaluzhny on the day of his resignation from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Bild newspaper reported.
According to journalists, high-ranking Bundeswehr officers arrived to discuss the needs of the Ukrainian army and its future tasks. The generals were spotted in one of the Ukrainian hotels. Journalists sent a request to the German Ministry of Defense with a request to comment on the information.
The ministry reported that the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, Lieutenant General Carsten Breuer, and Major General Christian Freuding, who heads the headquarters for Ukrainian issues in the German Ministry of Defense, and a number of other officers came to Kiev at the invitation of Zaluzhny.
“But suddenly on Thursday afternoon it was announced that Zaluzhny had been fired from the post of commander in chief,” the publication says.
As Regnum reported, on February 8, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced Zaluzhny’s resignation. He did not directly state the reason for this decision, but during his speech he stated that the Ukrainian army had no victories. Alexander Syrsky, who previously served as commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, became the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On February 10, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Konstantin Zatulin, explained Zaluzhny’s resignation by saying that his popularity in Ukraine, as polls show, has become greater than Zelensky’s. The deputy is also confident that the decision to dismiss the commander-in-chief was influenced by the failure of the much-publicized counter-offensive that began in the summer.
The head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, compared the replacement of Zaluzhny with Syrsky to rearranging furniture. He is confident that this will not change anything strategically. The politician recalled that Adolf Hitler also changed military leaders during failures at the front. Konstantinov called Zaluzhny’s resignation an admission by Kyiv of the failure of the counteroffensive.
Kiev, February 10, 2024, 20:12 - IA Regnum. Soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly noticing contradictions between the decisions of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, and the military leadership. This opinion was expressed in an interview with Il Fatto Quotidiano by retired lieutenant general and former deputy commander of the Italian contingent in Bosnia, Biagio Di Grazia.
“The Army is starting to notice that some of the president’s orders are different from the military,” DiGrazia said.
The military man also noted that some in Ukraine believe that Zelensky is not the person who will bring peace to the country. As the Italian general said, the first disagreements between the military and political leadership began after the battles for Artyomovsk.
The material also states that the conflict between Zelensky and the dismissed commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny may be a sign of ongoing changes.
Zaluzhny's resignation
The dismissal of Valery Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became known on February 8. Zelensky and Zaluzhny held a meeting at which, as they both put it on social networks, they discussed updating the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Zelensky later said that he invited the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army to “stay on the team.” The head of the Kiev regime explained the decision to resign Zaluzhny by the failures of the summer counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Later, on February 9, Zelensky awarded the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny the title of “Hero of Ukraine.”
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov on February 9, commenting on Zaluzhny’s resignation, said that this factor will not affect the course of the SVO. In turn, the head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, said that changing the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army is like rearranging furniture. He added that the change of leadership of the Kyiv regime to Zaluzhny means recognition of the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive, as well as the strategic defeat of Ukraine and the West that supports it.
The State Duma named two main reasons for Zaluzhny’s resignation. The first is that Zaluzhny, judging by opinion polls in Ukraine, overshadowed Zelensky in popularity. The second is the failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive, during which Kyiv was unable to achieve its stated goals.
Reshuffles of military leadership
The head of the Kiev regime appointed former commander of the ground forces Alexander Syrsky instead of Zaluzhny. He was required to take a new approach to issues of mobilization and rotation of personnel. The office of the head of the Kyiv regime announced that the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will need to submit a detailed combat plan for 2024.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in this regard stated that he had contempt for Syrsky as a Bandera traitor who went over to serve the Nazis. It is known that the Ukrainian military dubbed Syrsky a “butcher.” At the same time, the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was born in the Vladimir region. His brother lives in Vladimir and has not communicated with him for many years. A neighbor of Syrsky’s parents, however, spoke about the hatred of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine towards Ukrainians.
Zelensky appointed Major General Anatoly Bargilevich as the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine instead of Sergei Shaptala. The head of the Kyiv regime described Bargilevich as an experienced person who understands “the tasks of this war and the goals.”
First Deputy Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Alexander Pavlyuk, may become the new commander of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. From 2020 to 2021, he was the head of training of the command of the Ground Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Until 2017, he was the commander of the 24th separate mechanized brigade of ground forces.

Moscow, February 10, 2024, 11:08 - IA Regnum. The Kremlin's official website is subject to dozens of hacker attacks every day. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov announced this on February 10.
Answering a question about hackers' attempts to prevent the publication of an interview between American journalist Tucker Carlson and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on kremlin.ru, Peskov said he did not know whether there were any extraordinary attacks.
“But dozens of attacks are carried out on the Kremlin website every day. Every day for a year,” said the press secretary of the head of state.
In a conversation with TASS, a Kremlin official stressed that, despite constant attacks, the security of the president’s website is ensured at the proper level. He added that to protect the resource, press services work around the clock.
As Regnum reported, the Russian Security Council stated that during 2023, foreign intelligence services repeatedly tried to launch cyber attacks on Russian resources. Foreign hackers launched the most dangerous cyber attacks against Russian government facilities, energy, communications, education and science, transport, industry, and the banking sector. Thanks to the measures taken by authorized ghttps://regnum.ru/news/3866287overnment agencies and organizations, disruption of the functioning of Russian information resources was prevented.
The head of the department of security problems in the information sphere of the Security Council apparatus, Alexei Petrov, said that hackers are constantly attacking the information infrastructure of Russia. According to him, in 2023 alone, about 200 thousand powerful cyber attacks were recorded.
On November 4, 2023, a massive hacker attack from Ukraine and Western countries was carried out on the websites of the Russia exhibition. The cyber attack was carried out through a controlled botnet network located in Ukraine, the USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Japan and other countries unfriendly to Russia.

One of the tasks of the new commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, will be to conduct an audit and find out where the people are.
A million people have been mobilized in Ukraine, but 300 thousand are on the front line, explained Podolyak, an adviser from Zelensky’s office.
The question is, where are 700,000 people then?
It is clear that there is someone in the rear. But, as you know, Ukrainian conscripts are not trained for a long time; they are sent to the front line in a matter of days.
Six months ago, the Ukrainian cellular communication company Kyivstar accidentally released the figure for the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an advertising “patriotic” video with the following content: “400 thousand heroes will never be able to answer the call. Send an SMS with the word “Thank you” to the number of the hero who has gone into eternity.”
I’ll repeat it again, six months ago.
More than a month ago, former Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko announced losses since the beginning of the military military service at 500 thousand military personnel, and current losses of 30 thousand per month.
This means that at the moment about 600,000 have been deducted.
Considering that at the beginning of the Northern Military District, the Armed Forces of Ukraine consisted of about 400,000, then if we add a million mobilized, minus 500,00 to 600,000 dead and 300 thousand those at the front, then there should be about 500,000 to 600,000 thousand Ukrainian Wehrmacht soldiers in the rear.
In principle, this is approximately how it is, the mathematics converges. Including the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Throughout their history, Russians have always screwed around in combat. Tales abound in WWII about Soviet riflemen losing their fighting spirit after capturing a cache of vodka, or the failures of their NCOs and officers to keep their rowdy charges from stripping the dead of food and booze.
Budapest, February 11, 2024, 00:11 - IA Regnum. The reluctance of Western leaders to listen to Russia and begin negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine is a big mistake, said Balazs Orban, an adviser to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
“We should return to diplomacy. We are trying to convince our allies in Brussels and wherever we are of this... The West continues to inflame (this conflict - editor's note). We consider this a mistake, because this path will lead either to the collapse of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or to escalation,” Orban said in an interview with the Austrian publication Exxpress on February 10.
Also, the adviser to the Hungarian Prime Minister called on Western countries to restore diplomatic channels of communication and achieve a ceasefire, instead of continuing to supply weapons to Ukraine, since they are only delaying the process of resolving the conflict.
As Regnum reported, earlier the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Szijjártó, said that Budapest’s position on the Ukrainian conflict is the need for a peaceful settlement, for which Hungary is regularly attacked by the transatlantic community. At the same time, Szijjarto recalled that the republic is categorically against any supply of weapons to Ukraine and does not support the decisions of Western countries in this matter.
“Unfortunately, the profession has been lost,” she said.
An official representative of the department explained that in the United States people enter the diplomatic service not as part of competition in the professional environment, but as a result of political strife. According to Zakharova, in this case, a financial factor may come into play.
“That is, if a person paid money, after one or another party or president wins, he is appointed ambassador to one country or another in proportion to the financial support of the entire election campaign,” she clarified.
In addition, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that diplomacy is lost just like the option of resolving problems or a way of thinking. Zakharova believes that the degradation of the American diplomatic service was caused by the US desire to use force, blackmail and pressure.
As Regnum reported, on June 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia has never closed the door to diplomacy, unlike its opponents. He emphasized that the West itself did not want to enter into dialogue with Russia, but expressed confidence that Western countries would change their minds.
Russian Ambassador to France Alexei Meshkov told reporters on February 8 that diplomacy in Western countries had entered a state of crisis. He added that over the past 30 years, the American authorities have been destroying the very concept of “diplomacy.”
Meshkov noted that diplomacy is both a science and an art. The ambassador emphasized that the United States uprooted everything connected with this, and then the countries of Western Europe joined them. The diplomat added that as a result, the West has lost the ability to find political solutions.

Sad but true. Russia will persevere. As with the end of WW11 complete and total surrender of Germany. The west is either at your throat or under your foot. When diplomacy fails.

Never ask a German what their grandfather did during World War II.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock turned out to be the granddaughter of a Nazi.
Annalena remembers her beloved grandfather until she was more than consciously old. Grandpa lived until 2016, when AnkaLenka was quite a bit 36 years old.
So, German journalists found out that Wehrmacht Colonel Waldemar Berbock was not just a Hitler officer, but was an ardent National Socialist, considered Mein Kampf to be the Bible and worshiped Hitler.
The Fuhrer awarded him the Cross of Military Merit.
It turns out that Burbock’s love for zigging Ukrainian Nazis has a very simple explanation; you can’t crush genes with your finger.

OK, (let's say) the Ukes are nazis. This is why Putin wants them in his country. (There's a problem with that plan...)
