In the Ulyanivka settlement of the Vasylkivskyi district of the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region , by order of the so-called Russian occupation administration, grain crops from the neighboring agricultural enterprises and farms of the district are brought to the local hangar. The occupiers, under the guise of buying at significantly reduced prices, simply confiscate grain.
Aviation of the Defense Forces made seven strikes on areas where the occupiers were concentrated during the day. Also, our defenders shot down an enemy unmanned aerial vehicle of the "Orlan-10" type. At the same time, Ukrainian rocket and gunners hit one Buk-M1-2 anti-aircraft missile complex, five enemy manpower concentration areas, three fuel and lubricant warehouses, and one Zoopark radar reconnaissance and control complex.
We will remind you that this night the defense forces of Ukraine shot down enemy attack drones that the Russians were trying to attack.

[Korrespondent] 22:58 Zelensky, in an evening video message, thanked "everyone who these days held Ukrainian flags in the squares and streets of Georgia" "for our national anthem that sounded in Tbilisi."
"This is respect for Ukraine, and I want to express sincere respect for Georgia. There is no such Ukrainian who would not wish the success of our friendly Georgia. Democratic success. European success. We want to be in the European Union - and we will. We want Georgia to be in The European Union, and I'm sure it will. We want Moldova to be in the European Union, and I'm sure it will. All the free peoples of Europe deserve it," the President stressed.
22:05 Zelensky said in an evening video message that he held a meeting today with the military, intelligence: "The front, our defense, the battle for Bakhmut and the entire Donbass is the first priority. We are doing everything to ensure that our tactical steps work for a strategic task - for Ukraine's success in the battle for the entire temporarily occupied territory of our state."
He also said that the government is preparing new "absolutely fair" steps against those in Ukraine "who are still trying to weaken the state, undermine the strength of our society. A new meeting of the National Security and Defense Council will be held soon, and there are relevant draft sanctions decisions. The internal security of Ukraine is also the first priority ".
21:39 The Regional Directorate of the Territorial Defense Forces Pivnich of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claims that the Ukrainian soldier who was shot by Russian soldiers for the words "Glory to Ukraine" is a fighter of the 163rd battalion of the 119th separate brigade of the Chernihiv Oblast Troops Oleksandr Matsiyevsky.
20:54 The Russians fired on the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region from heavy artillery and Gradov, six people were injured, two of them were children, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Lysak.
20:47 Polish President Andrzej Duda told CNN that Warsaw is ready to transfer all its MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine.
20:44 Russia does not have enough ammunition and troops to make significant territorial gains in Ukraine in 2023, so it can go on the defensive, dragging out the war, said US National Intelligence Director Avril Haynes.
20:36 Trump said that he would allow Russia to take away part of the territory from Ukraine "to avoid war." He emphasized that during his presidency, Russia did not capture a single country, while during the previous ones it occupied parts of Georgia and Ukraine, and under Biden generally received a buffet.
19:57 Russia probably will not be able to capture the entire territory of the Donetsk region this year, according to the annual US intelligence threat assessment report. Analysts say Putin has misjudged the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Russian troops will continue to face attrition, understaffing and low morale. Intelligence also believes that the effect of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation will appear only in spring and summer.
19:29 The contract for the export of Ukrainian grain through the Russian-controlled Black Sea expires on March 18, and the UN insists on another extension. President Zelensky and UN Secretary General António Guterres at a meeting in Kyiv spoke in favor of extending the grain deal. More details - in the material Grain and war .

18:50 China will continue to cooperate with Russia, despite the negative reaction of the West, Radio Liberty reports, citing US intelligence data. According to the report, Beijing's continued cooperation with Moscow is "an attempt to challenge the US." The report also said that Russia probably does not seek conflict with the US and NATO, but the war in Ukraine carries a "great risk" that this will happen. In addition, intelligence believes that the Russian Federation in the next ten years will remain "an impressive and less predictable challenge for the United States."
18:39 Borrell announced that he proposed to allocate 1 billion euros from the European Peace Fund for the supply of ammunition to Ukraine.
18:13 The total amount of assistance provided to Ukraine from the allies during the full-scale war is about 150 billion euros, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. He clarified that military assistance is 65 billion of this amount.
18:08 Zelensky said that the future of the UN is decided in Ukraine: "It is now and it is Ukraine that is at the forefront of not just a struggle, but a real war for all the principles on which international life is based. It is now and it is Ukraine that defends the goals and principles of the Charter UN. This means that it is now and precisely in Ukraine that the future of the UN and the global role of the United Nations are being decided."
17:57 Russian propaganda is actively working to dehumanize Ukrainians with the help of outright fakes. Disinformation in the Russian Federation is often based on pseudo-heroes, and recently children have become them. So, propagandists "created" a new hero - the boy Fyodor, who saved two girls with a "wound in the chest." More details - in the material "Fight with the Ukrainian DRG" .
17:51 Latvia handed over eight cars confiscated from drunk drivers to Ukraine, Delfi reports. In particular, the Latvian government decided to donate the confiscated cars to five units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to the Vinnitsa Regional Clinical Hospital and the territorial medical association of the Kupyansk City Council in the Kharkiv region. According to the Minister of Finance of Latvia, Arvila Asheradens, a little more than a month has passed since the idea of transferring the confiscated cars to Ukraine to its implementation.

According to the group, at least 79 pieces of equipment and 450 personnel arrived in Belarus.
17:12 The European Commission announced that it plans, if necessary, to initiate an extension of the period for granting temporary protection to Ukrainians: "The European Union is ready to support Ukraine for as long as necessary. Protection has already been extended until March 2024 and can be extended even until 2025. The Commission is ready to take the necessary steps for further extensions, if required."
17:05 Last year, about 16 million Ukrainians arrived in the EU countries, of which 11 million then returned to Ukraine, another 1 million people went further to other countries, and about 4 million refugees remained in the EU, said European Commissioner for Internal Affairs Ylva Johansson.
16:46 The ultimate goal of the UN in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine is to achieve a just peace in accordance with the UN Charter and international law, UN Secretary General António Guterres said during a visit to Kiev: "The position of the UN is absolutely clear - the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a violation of the UN Charter and international rights. The sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine must be preserved in accordance with the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine. Our ultimate goal is also clear - a just peace in accordance with the UN Charter and international law and the resolution of the General Assembly on the occasion of the anniversary of the outbreak of war."
16:18 The Romanian Parliament at a joint meeting of the two chambers adopted a declaration in support of Ukraine, which condemns the Russian invasion and aggression against Ukraine, calls on the Kremlin to withdraw the occupying troops, demands from the Russian Federation to stop nuclear threats, as well as fictitious accusations of the alleged use of biological weapons by Kiev. In addition, the Romanian parliamentarians called on the EU and NATO to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
16:11 Occupation "authorities" of Energodar announced a drone attack on the city - allegedly drones with incendiary charges hit the embankment, causing a fire with an area of 4 hectares. Before that, the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, published a photo from Energodar, which shows a large column of smoke. Local publics write that the fire occurred in the SBU control area.
16:07 Zelensky met with UN Secretary General António Guterres and a UN delegation in Kiev. “It is very important that it is in Kiev that we are talking about how to return peace and international security, the full force of the UN Charter to those norms that are equally important for all peoples on earth,” the president stressed.
15:58 Commander of the Ground Forces Alexander Syrsky again visited the positions of the Ukrainian military in Bakhmut. "Zugzwang in chess is a situation when any move by a player leads to a deterioration in his position. We are doing everything so that the enemy finds himself in such a situation in this war," he said.
15:35 This week, The New York Times, Die Zeit, The Washington Post and The Times published articles about the possible involvement of a "pro-Ukrainian group" in the Nord Stream explosions. Read more about what the Western media learned in the material Ukrainian trace .
15:06 Permanent representatives of the EU countries have agreed on the allocation of an additional 2 billion euros to the intergovernmental fund, which finances the supply of military assistance to Ukraine.
14:39 Stoltenberg said that the Ukrainian defense of Bakhmut may be defeated in the coming days, but this will not necessarily be a turning point in the war: "This only emphasizes that we should not underestimate Russia. We must continue to support Ukraine."
14:08 The fall in Ukraine's GDP in February decreased to 26% compared to 32% in January, the Ministry of Economy reported. According to the government, this was due to an improvement in the electricity supply.
13:52 Stoltenberg said that it is not yet known who is behind the sabotage at Nord Stream, the investigation continues.
13:45 German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said at a meeting of EU defense ministers in Sweden that a total of 9,000 Ukrainian servicemen will be trained in Germany by the end of the year.
13:23 Reznikov said at an informal meeting with EU defense ministers in Sweden that Ukraine needs a million artillery shells: "We need a million artillery shells. This will probably require about 4 billion euros."
The minister added that he would discuss the supply of air defense systems, as well as ammunition: "Priority number one is air defense systems, as well as ammunition, ammunition and more ammunition. Therefore, I support the initiative of the Minister of Defense of Estonia Hanno Pevkur on 1 million 155-mm shells. Also IFVs for the Iron Fist, more tanks like the Leopard and we'll be ready for a counteroffensive."
13:12 The Court of General Jurisdiction of the EU decided to lift sanctions from the mother of the founder of PMC Wagner Violetta Prigozhina. As Rikard Jozwiak, editor of Radio Liberty in Europe, said, the court concluded that the connection between the woman and Yevgeny Prigozhin is based solely on family relations.
12:46 German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that 18 German and three Portuguese Leopard 2 tanks will be handed over to Ukraine in March.
12:24 The UN is studying a video of the execution of an unarmed Ukrainian soldier by Russian occupiers and, based on a preliminary examination, believes that it may be real, a spokeswoman for the UN Human Rights Office told AFP. She added that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the UN Human Rights Office has documented numerous violations of international humanitarian law against prisoners of war, and each should be investigated.
12:15 Chinese experts are investigating the mistakes that Russia made in the war against Ukraine, and are also diligently studying the influence of American weapons and technologies, Reuters writes after analyzing about a hundred articles in 20 Chinese specialized publications on military topics. The agency emphasizes that while Chinese officials avoid criticizing the Russian Federation, military experts are more frank in their conclusions: many Chinese articles are devoted to the mistakes of Russian troops. Among them are outdated tactics, the lack of a unified command, insufficient intervention in Ukrainian communications.
Also, Chinese researchers are concerned about the role of the Starlink satellite network. China wants to develop a similar network and find ways to disable Starlink, analysts say. Much attention is also paid in China to the study of American weapons, including HIMARS, as well as Stinger and Javelin missiles, which "caused serious damage to Russian tanks, armored vehicles and warships."
12:07 Iran secretly delivered a large amount of ammunition to Russia, Sky News writes, citing its sources. According to the publication, two cargo ships under the Russian flag left the Iranian port in January, heading to Russia through the Caspian Sea. They carried about 100 million bullets and about 300 thousand shells. The ships also carried ammunition for MLRS, mortars and machine guns. In addition, there were about 10,000 body armor and helmets on board. Russia paid for the goods in cash.
11:53 Western intelligence knows the name of the Ukrainian sponsor of the Nord Stream bombing, but they deliberately decided not to disclose it in order to protect Ukraine, writes The Times. According to the publication, the name of the private sponsor of the sabotage is not associated with the Zelensky government. The name of the Ukrainian allegedly decided to hide in order to save Kyiv from a public quarrel with Berlin, which delayed the provision of Leopard 2 tanks and the IRIS-T air defense system.
Meanwhile, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius refused to comment on media reports regarding the organizers of the undermining of gas pipelines until the investigation is completed. At the same time, he did not rule out that an operation under a false flag could have taken place.
And Reznikov, in turn, said that the Ukrainian special services had nothing to do with sabotage: “For me, this is a rather strange story that has nothing to do with us. I think that an official investigation conducted by the relevant authorities will reveal all the details. a compliment to our special forces, but these are not our actions."
11:46 A meeting of EU defense ministers with the participation of Reznikov has begun in Sweden. The Ukrainian minister said that he would discuss the transfer of weapons with partners.
11:38 In the Luhansk region, the Russians are trying to capture the de-occupied villages, but they have no strategic success at the front, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai. According to him, the invaders are storming in the direction of Stelmakhivka in the Svatov region, but the Ukrainian defenders retain control over this village. Also, fighting continues in the direction of Makeevka-Nevsky and Kuzemovka-Novoselevsky - these villages are completely destroyed by the Russians.
11:29 China will allocate 200,000 euros through the IAEA to ensure nuclear security in Ukraine, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
What on earth does that mean?
She also added that Beijing will continue to promote "peaceful dialogue and a political process for resolving" the situation in Ukraine. "We will eliminate the main risk factors in the field of nuclear safety, promote security at Ukraine's nuclear facilities," she concluded.
11:04 The previous day was the first since February 24, 2022, when not a single civilian was injured in the Donetsk region, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko. But, according to him, the situation remains tense - the Russians continue to shell the settlements of the Donetsk region.
10:41 At night, two Iranian kamikaze drones Shahed-131/136, with which the Russians attacked Ukraine from the north, were destroyed by air defense, the command of the Air Force reported.
10:28 The situation in the energy system is stable, there has been no shortage of power for the 25th day in a row and is not predicted yet. Ukrenergo reports that the situation will remain stable in the future in the absence of new Russian attacks on the energy system. All types of power plants operate, electricity imports are negligible.
10:05 About 40% of all military aid promised to Ukraine by the Pentagon since the beginning of the war (more than $ 8 billion) was received in three months - from December 9, 2022, writes The Economist. At the same time, arms deliveries, agreed in Germany only in January 2023, account for two-thirds of the total amount sent to Ukraine for the whole of 2022. As a result, almost a third of the Ukrainian army will soon have weapons according to NATO standards, the newspaper notes.
Zaluzhny expects to end up with three new army corps, each consisting of six brigades. Each corps - 20 thousand people, trained and armed according to NATO standards.
09:57 South Korea last year agreed on export licenses for Poland to supply Krab howitzers containing South Korean components, a spokesman for the country's Defense Ministry said in a comment to Reuters. This was the first confirmation that Seoul has agreed to transfer military components to Ukraine - albeit indirectly. Previously, it was not clear whether there was official permission for this. At the same time, the department emphasized that the position of South Korea is not to transfer weapons systems to Ukraine.
09:16 British intelligence believes that Shoigu's March 4 visit to the front in Ukraine could be a response to Prigozhin's recent visit to the front line. Wagner's open conflict with the Russian Defense Ministry continues, and Shoigu is probably painful about the comparison with Prigozhin, analysts say.
Intelligence also drew attention to the fact that the only Russian field commander shown in the video with Shoigu was Colonel General Rustam Muradov. It is noteworthy that Muradov is in charge of the Ugledarsky sector of the Donetsk region, where over the past three months several assaults have failed.
Until recently, the Russian command probably considered the breakthrough in the Vuhledar area as a key way to achieve an operationally important breakthrough of the Ukrainian positions. Now the military leadership of the Russian Federation is likely to face a dilemma: make another attempt to storm Ugledar or support fierce battles north of Bakhmut and Kremennaya.
09:08 UN Secretary General António Guterres arrived in Kiev on a visit , his speaker Stefan Dujarric said. During his third visit to Ukraine since the start of the war, he will meet with Zelenskiy to negotiate an extension of the grain deal, which ends March 18.
08:40 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of March 8.
personnel - about 155,530 (+700) people liquidated,
tanks - 3436 (+4),
armored combat vehicles - 6723 (+9),
artillery systems - 2463 (+7),
MLRS - 488 (+0),
air defense systems - 253 (+0),
aircraft - 303 (+0),
helicopters - 289 (+0),
UAV operational-tactical level - 2098 (+3),
cruise missiles - 873 (+0),
ships/boats - 18 (+0),
automotive equipment and tankers - 5330 (+7),
special equipment - 236 (+0).
08:21 The Russian army is focusing its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupyansky, Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Miner directions. It continues unsuccessful offensive operations in the areas of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, Dubovo-Vasilyevka, Bakhmut, Kamenka, Avdeevka and Maryinka of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in a morning report . Over the past day, the Defense Forces repulsed more than 100 enemy attacks in the indicated directions.
06:27 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Russian troops do not have the resources to obtain operational results in the event of the capture of Bakhmut. At best, it can only be a tactical victory for them. If Bakhmut is captured, analysts say, the Russian offensive in the region will culminate. The ISW also notes that the Russians lack the mechanized forces needed to advance on Bakhmut, and the assault squads are not capable of waging a maneuver war.
If the Russians occupy Bakhmut, they will have to choose between two divergent directions of attack: one towards Konstantinovka, the other towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. These two potential offensive lines do not support each other, and the degraded Russian forces may have to choose one of them. In addition, Ukrainian forces have powerfully strengthened their positions in both of these directions.
03:19 Biden and Macron had a telephone conversation during which they discussed support for Ukraine, the White House reported. In particular, the presidents discussed the obligation of their countries to "continue to provide security assistance to Ukraine and collect compensation from Russia for its aggression."
01:24 The US military is looking for an opportunity to install AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles on MiG aircraft used by Ukraine, Politico writes, citing a source in the US Department of Defense. These efforts, if successful, could be part of the solution to Kyiv's need for additional firepower and air defense, the newspaper notes. The main problem is that the American and Soviet systems are so different that the missile and the plane "can't see" each other.
00:20 US State Department spokesman Ned Price called the video of the execution of an unarmed Ukrainian soldier by the Russians "terrible": "The terrible picture of how this unarmed Ukrainian is executed after a simple statement "Glory to Ukraine" is simply amazing in terms of its barbarity."
Price added that Russia "should be ashamed of itself" and their actions disregard "elementary humanity, the basic rules of war and decency." He also noted that, unfortunately, this is not the only case of Russian war crimes, and their number is determined by tens of thousands of facts.

[RIA] Feminism has become a dirty word lately, and to be honest, it has its own logic. From the bright West, only aggressive gender studies are leaking to us, which, both in their style of presentation and in their general mood, are more and more reminiscent of The Hammer of the Witches.
Radical feminism today is infected with a pathological hatred of men. However, I will console men: Radfems hate women even more. They, in fact, do not like all of humanity.
In response to this, some men are offended, fenced off, compose a mental ghetto for themselves, where a fantastic patriarchy reigns, and so they live in it for years. By the way, they do not move to countries where real patriarchy reigns, and this is very wise of them.
In general, there is a war of the sexes, which by no means contributes to the softening of morals, the merging of souls and the solution of the demographic problem. Rather, the opposite is true.
Meanwhile, what they sell to us for the most natural - made in the West - environmentally friendly feminism, is actually a fake, a fake. This imitation of feminism is practiced purely to incite gender hatred. He does not think of solving any real problems of real women.
In Russia, such fake feminism flourished back in the middle of the 19th century - and here, as always, we were ahead of the rest. The real problem for women of that era was the lack of the possibility of independent earnings. Dostoevsky wrote sharply about this. Sonechka Marmeladova
...the heroine of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment...
is forced to sell her virginity and go to prostitution, because otherwise she (and her young half-sisters and brother) will face starvation.
If there was a job, then the earnings of a woman were sometimes inferior to those of a man, sometimes at times, and sometimes by an order of magnitude. That was the problem. However, the bohemian suffragettes of that time preferred to debate the issue of "kissing hands" - the same Dostoevsky trolled them very evilly for this.
Exactly the same thing we see now. The real problems of women are washed out of the information field. There are all some kind of transgender people, whom no one has ever seen in God-saved Russia, there are some complex twists of polyamory and childfree.
Real, non-imitation feminism - which de facto existed in the Soviet Union -
...where both men and women were equally enslaved by the totalitarian Communist government, but women also had responsibility for housework and children while their men got drunk — a unique definition of feminism, to be sure...
l should be concerned with the essentials. I'll give you an example. On the one hand, we have such a unique (by world standards) social conquest as paid maternity leave. On the other hand, this system works well for budget enterprises. In private firms - even large ones - things are much more complicated. And if a woman works as a freelancer or for some individual entrepreneur who really barely makes ends meet, then she will most likely never see maternity leave at all.
This means that it is probably worth striving to ensure that every woman has the right to maternity leave and payments, regardless of where she works. If she freelances or works for a poor private trader, perhaps the state should provide these payments.
The question of a mother of three or more children receiving a decent salary has long been overdue and overripe. And if the father takes care of the children - yes, yes, it also happens - so that he receives a salary. And this should not be a humiliatingly small social benefit, but worthy money that would give the family not only material support, but also status.
These are just the questions that come to mind offhand. And all this is actually feminism. Yes, yes, this is not about aggressively erotic fantasies, but about how to combine work and pregnancy, study and raising children, creative and professional realization and peace in the family. All this is difficult, interesting, all this happens in the real world and brings women the joy of struggle, creation and success.
Real feminism raises the status of women while also raising the status of men. Trying to equalize us in rights and opportunities - and this is still a far from resolved issue - he reminds us that we are, in fact, much closer to each other than we think. We have similar fears, similar dreams, we have nothing to fight for. We are all human, we are all human. And if nature has created small differences between us, it is solely for our happiness. Happy March 8!

[NewsFrontInfo] 23:55 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 03/08/2023 to 00:00 03/09/2023
Over the past day Representation reported about 17 facts of firing by the VFU.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy made seven attacks from MLRS 122mm, artillery 155mm.
On Gorlovsky 10 artillery attacks from 155mm artillery. By releasing 93 units of various ammunition.
The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district), Panteleimonovka, the capital city of Donetsk (Kiev, Kuibyshevsky, Proletarsky districts).
Over the past day, information was received about the injury of seven civilians, incl. children born in 2009 and 2011, in the Proletarsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk.
Eight housing constructions were damaged in the Proletarsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk, as well as one civil infrastructure facility.
Previously, 15 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU during the day.
22:00 "According to the interception, the enemy had five killed in action, seven wounded in action. But the wounded most likely turned into “two hundredths”, because they could not carry out the evacuation," a Wagner PMC fighter tells how they recaptured the quarter from the Armed Forces of Ukraine the day before our arrival. Reportage from the southern region of Artyomovsk.
The enemy fiercely resists, but loses ground daily. Right during the shooting, they witnessed how the Wagner operators captured another intersection - like a radio show in a walkie-talkie.
The entire south of Artyomovsk is littered with the bodies of Ukrainian militants. If you set a goal to shoot and show you all of them, there will simply be no room for the rest of the report. APU is abandoned, including the wounded.
21:56Ukrainians today hurt six civilian residents of Donetsk. A woman and two men were injured in the Kievsky district, and a man and two children were injured in the Proletarsky district. Boys aged 12 and 13 are neighbors and were at home when the shell arrived. Now Donetsk doctors are doing everything to save their lives.
Literally a few hundred meters away is a children's social center, where about 30 teenagers live. A shell also flew into their yard. Fortunately, no one was hurt, except for the center building itself, which was riddled with shrapnel.
Now the artillery attack of the outskirts of Donetsk continues. Many residents of the Petrovsky district are in shelters that have already become familiar.
21:52 Fisherman with military chronicle reasoned on the topic of a possible counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Bakhmut
If the operational situation there does not change and the flanks of the Wagners are not covered, for example, by regular units of the RF Armed Forces, then a counteroffensive will not only be possible, but very possible.
Moreover, the other day Yevgeny Prigozhin, mentioned by the authors of the channels, has already reported that the forces for this counteroffensive are gathering and available. And in my opinion, "from the ground" its most likely direction is the north.
Another thing is that such a step would be categorically stupid for Kyiv. Because it would be much more literate to simply retreat to the second line of defense and keep it there, since these lines have long been prepared and equipped. But the leadership of Ukraine obviously rested on Bakhmut with a horn. And whether it is specifically pulling time, or just played with symbols. No pity for their people.
If the counteroffensive takes place, Bakhmut will finally become the central point of confrontation between the two forces. And I would like our forces to be, so to speak, numerically equal.
21:34 PMC "Wagner" entered the settlement. Dubovo-Vasilyevka north of Bakhmut.
There are tough fights.

At midnight, the crest led columns of five to seven cars in the direction of Konstantinovka with an interval of 20-30 minutes, which, naturally, were jammed by the artillery of Wagner operators.
At the moment, we are talking about controlling 40 percent of Artemovsk. In the center, the enemy continues to resist fiercely, using urban development and full-length stormwater. The commanders of the PMC "Wagner" estimate the number of Artemovsky garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 10-12,000.
It is obvious that in the event of a collapse of the boiler, when all retreat routes are physically cut off, there will already be fewer Ukrainian soldiers in the city.

[REGNUM] The holiday, on which it is customary to emphasize that there is a fundamental difference between men and women, looks like a stronghold of counter-revolution.
The way the perception of International Women's Day on March 8 has changed is one of the clearest examples of the irony of history.
In our time, this is the day when men congratulate women, compliment them and give them flowers - one of the few Soviet holidays that has survived all these years. And it seems that the tradition of celebrating it is not going to die - even where they are specifically fighting it.
Obviously, it is connected not with an already forgotten ideology, but with something much more valuable and important.
Now few people remember that it was once a revolutionary celebration dedicated to rebellion against everything that was associated with the traditional role of a woman as a tender wife and caring mother. Gradually, it turned into its opposite - a holiday glorifying femininity and motherhood.
And today it has become an almost reactionary holiday, a stronghold, scary to say, of transphobia and heteronormativity.
It is difficult to understand what comrades Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg would say to this. After all, it all started very revolutionary - rallies and demonstrations, slogans and banners. In the USSR, March 8 was chosen in connection with one of the important events of the February Revolution - a mass demonstration in which many women took part.
And in many other countries - China, Cuba, etc. - the holiday was originally supposed to glorify a woman fighter, a woman revolutionary, a comrade in arms, who is not up to the joys of motherhood and who looks with contempt at everything that is traditionally considered “feminine”: softness, fragility, self-aware beauty.
However, over time it turned out that since the world revolution did not happen, we had to return to healthy and natural conservative principles, without which society would not last long.
When March 8 was officially included in the list of non-working days in 1965, the holiday took on an opposite connotation. The revolutionary struggle and opposition to "patriarchal" oppression were somehow forgotten - and March 8 turned into a "mother's holiday", a day on which schoolchildren were supposed to express respect, love and heartfelt gratitude to their mothers.
It was a day that celebrated the height of a mother's calling, emphasizing the deepest respect with which both children (small or grown-up) and society as a whole should treat the labors and sacrifices that mothers bear for the sake of children.
Maternal love was sung in poems and songs, and if it was possible to find non-ideological shrines in the USSR, then this was precisely the shrine of motherhood.
So, in an amazing way, the holiday of fierce revolutionaries turned into a holiday of mothers.
Nowadays, more emphasis is placed on the cult of the "beautiful lady", which until recently could be considered something banal. But not in our time.
We live in a world where powerful forces are purposefully destroying the very notion that the human race is divided into males and females and that our social roles are linked to our biology.
Movies (including cartoons for children), books, music videos, the entire entertainment industry promote the ideal of men who try to be women and women who try to be men.
Men in heavy make-up and stockings are presented as true heroes of our civilization, they are praised “for their courage”, as if they had saved someone from a fire, and are invited to perform in front of small children. Young women who, in a fit of strange madness, have removed their completely healthy breasts, pose, showing gross scars and assuring that now they have finally turned into young men.
A man convicted of rape only needs to state that he "identifies as a woman" to be put in a women's prison - where inmates complain in vain about his abuse. (And no, this is not a duck - these are the laws , for example, in modern Britain).
Theologians are seriously discussing God's "gender neutrality" and inventing rites for "transgender transition".
In this world, a holiday on which it is customary to emphasize that there is a fundamental difference between men and women (women - by virtue of belonging to their gender - have unique virtues that men do not have, femininity is something worthy of recognition and glorification, it is appropriate for women give flowers and admire their beauty), looks like a stronghold of the counter-revolution.
There is a certain challenge in declaring openly that ladies are beautiful, but men in stockings are neither ladies nor beautiful. As well as to glorify mothers, and not to shame them for contributing to overpopulation and spoiling the climate.
A bouquet of flowers given to a wife or mother goes from a mere act of attention to a stubborn proclamation of common sense in a world in which a large part has gone mad.
Comrade Clara Zetkin hardly wanted this, but history sometimes has an unexpected sense of humor.

Somehow, our leftists have distorted the communist distortion of Mother’s Day into something so bizarre that even the former totalitarians are ticked. Seems as outrageous as a violation of bidet etiquette.

Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk
[DonRF] For clarity of everything that is happening in the DLNR, it is enough to look at what is happening on one sector of the front. Specifically, on the Kurakhovsky direction. The map, as always, is self-made and ugly, the arrows are not my profile, but indicative.
Indicative of the fact that the degree of urbanization of the surroundings of Donetsk can be seen clearly and understandably. And in a higher resolution of these objects will be even more. As a result, we get a continuous zone of urbanization up to Kurakhovo itself. Not continuous development, namely urbanization. And taking one, you stumble upon another.
The arrows show the directions of offensive actions of the RF Armed Forces. On the Kurakhovsky direction, a trident emerges along the roads, the trident of which needs to break through this very building in order to ... go to the next building.
The fields are mined. Every bush has been shot. Everywhere pillboxes that have been built since 2014. Attacks are possible only in dense formations. Breaking through one line of defense leads to the next. Then one more. And yet ... the enemy is already digging trenches near Pokrovsk. The stream of people they have does not dry out. Techniques too. BC with problems but send.
An example is Maryinka. Fresh meat comes in every month. It is being destroyed. With losses, of course. But fresh meat is being driven there again. And again, and again. Actually, for the enemy to put ten to fifteen thousand people outside the town where there was less population before the war, not a problem. Never.
Two million mobile resources, of which it is quite possible to catch 1.5 million, this allows. Of course, promising meat begins to swell, but the post-Soviet habit of detachment from politics, mutual distrust and the atomization of society works for them. In all. Quality certainly falls, but it's just an increase in losses.
So ... I write that this is a long time. I am writing with pain. Every day these are OUR victims. Our people. Yes, and from the other side are not Martians and not NATO soldiers. Even in many respects already and not ideological. Just random men who were caught and driven. And who will die there. In an attempt to take as many of the lives of our men as possible, the Russians are cutting down the Russians in a trench positional war. Civil War. And there is no choice. All the nonsense about the deal will remain so. Maximum - our amazing ones will announce a couple more unilateral truces. No further.
And the rest - everything got bogged down in positional battles for exhaustion. And the map is a testament to that. Rzhev was in the Great Patriotic War. There was Leningrad. There was a defensive phase of Stalingrad. Now there is Bakhmut and the suburbs of Donetsk.
And all this must be understood and accepted. That the holiday of consumption in most of the Russian Federation is generously paid for by these people who are now gnawing through every meter of the suburbs of Donetsk. Which are part of PMCs (and what difference does it make where exactly the Russian soldier is listed) take every house in the destroyed Bakhmut. Who hold the South and fight near Kremennaya and Svatovo. We walk, they take risks and lives.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
The referenced video is in Telegram which is notoriously hard to embed.
The video shows a rifle squad, presumably commanded by a British soldier as they evacuate a wounded soldier back to a makeshift aid station, while under heavy artillery fire and direct fire. He issues commands/exhortations in English and in Russian. I can't detect the language of the other soldiers, presumably they are Russian as well.
If not for the owners, the villagers have already fled to their huts
Let's go, let's go, let's go! Fuck it! Come on!
A foreign mercenary commands a platoon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the evacuation from Artyomovsk.
The soldiers speak Russian, and an Englishman is in command. They fight against Russia. Not a single word in Ukrainian for a 3-minute video.
Previously, the Germans commanded the police.
(Schneller, schneller), now British. Years go by, owners change, but the serfs are the same.
By the way, an interesting observation. The wounded man is clearly needed in order to show that they are not running away from their positions, but saving them, even though the wounded man is tossing and turning cheerfully from stretcher to stretcher. So it was in Dunkirk, only those who carried the wounded were allowed on the evacuation ship.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Prigozhin said that the eastern part of Artemovsk had been liberated by assault groups of the Wagner PMC.
The enemy retreated across the river to the western districts of the city.
The enemy continues to try to keep the main communications at least partially open, relying on defensive positions in the western part of the city. Bridges across the river were blown up last year.
Of key importance for the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the control over Bogdanovka, Khromovo and Krasnoye. The loss of any of these settlements will mean the actual formation of the boiler.

Washington is doing everything in its power to coerce China to the point China now prepares for confrontation soon with the West. Suggesting ammunition being offered to Russia when never having been requested as Western medias exclaim. While the West sends billions but of course that is alright. Inflaming tensions with Pelosi visiting Taiwan and soon Mitch McConnell, why now act as a wolf of pray as they say in China. The fear of China's growth and development is challenged at every opportunity. So Russia and China grow even closer as they are confronted by an increasing hostile West who being worn and frazzled the West is now at its weakest. These are troubling times as no efforts are offered for solutions. Instead full speed ahead to endless conflict and war.

In this western world of woke ism anything goes but my goal is to present a thought and if understood that is all that matters. The world is changing in many ways as demonstrated by many of the youth unable to do calculations(as per college professor of high level mathematics) or even write the written word. Many years ago I have seen people unable to write their name but just make an X.Today they just scribble something to make it look like a signature. So I had a lapse in spelling. It happens. As great literature disappears in our public education such as Moby Dick the whale drawing signature of Queequeg will disappear.

Actually, this means of gaining a "signature is as old as God. A legal means of getting that signature is for the literate to write the person's name, then above and below it write "His mark," where the signee marks his mark
