Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] Since the beginning of the current day, separatist units have violated the ceasefire in Donbas three times. One Ukrainian soldier was injured, the press center of the headquarters of the Joint Forces Operation reports in an evening summary on Friday, February 11.

So, one of the enemy attacks was carried out near Maryinka. The enemy deployed a drone, which was used to drop a VOG-17 round.
VOG-17 is an automatic grenade launcher round
In the direction of Nevelskoye, small arms fire was fired, and in the direction of Peski, from hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers.

"As a result of enemy actions, one member of the Joint Forces was injured. The soldier is in a medical institution. His health condition is satisfactory," the report says.

The headquarters assured that the borders of the Ukrainian units remained the same, and the situation in the JFO area is under control.

Recall that during the day on February 10, shelling intensified in the Donbass . The separatists opened fire eight times. Then the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were not injured.

#5  Re #2: we didn't know how good we had it under OrangeMan. Putin was restrained, the Chinese were on the back foot, the Gulf Arabs and Israel not only made peace but created a de facto alliance against Iran, and we were finally beginning ning to enforce our border.

Oh and unemployment was at an all time low and working class disposable income was higher than it has ever been.

Damn those bastards who stole that election. To hell.

#2  Reagan was supposed to start WW III. Then Trump was supposed to. Now along comes Joe, who campaigned on "return to normalcy." Seems like irony overload, if you ask me.

#1  BIDEN STUMBLES TOWARD WAR / Russians Move On U.S. Submarine
from Sam Faddis's substack
3pm 12 Feb. 2022

For weeks now the Biden administration, hopelessly compromised and looking at political annihilation in the coming midterm elections, has flirted with disaster. Desperate to regain credibility and to counter the obvious impotence of the man in the White House, Joe’s mandarins have made all sorts of vaguely threatening pronouncements regarding Ukraine and shoved forward a wide range of U.S. military assets into Eastern Europe.

The obvious danger of stumbling into war has been disregarded. Men who have never heard a shot fired in anger, never put their lives on the line, and have no earthly idea what strategy they are pursuing have put the whole world in danger. We may be about to pay the price for that incompetence.
