  1. The situation in Ukraine is developing for the Russians according to the worst-case scenario. The Russian army has begun to retreat from near Bakhmut. The battle for Bakhmut, which was the longest and bloodiest battle of the Ukrainian war, may turn into a new fiasco for the generals of the Russian General Staff. After six months of intense fighting, during which the army lost up to 30,000 men killed and wounded near Bakhmut and failed to fully occupy the city, Russian forces began to retreat. Ukrainian forces managed to push back Russian forces to a distance of up to two kilometers after the "prepared" but exhausted Wagner forces were replaced by the regular army of the Russian Defense Ministry. They were "defeated and withdrew. Z-warriors paint an even bleaker picture. Soldiers of the 72nd Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, sent to positions southwest of Kleshcheevka, "simply escaped under the counterattack of the 3rd Azov Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces," and "those who did not escape were killed and crushed by enemy tanks," Grey Zone writes. A day later, according to the channel, a similar situation took place near Khromovo: "Soldiers of the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces were also knocked out of their positions at two sites. Bakhmut, practically wiped out and becoming the epitome of the zombie apocalypse in real life, has turned into a mass grave for the thousands of prisoners recruited in Russian colonies in the fall. They are being replaced by mobilized men who have joined the regular army, whose casualties, according to some reports, have exceeded 200,000 dead and wounded. For every Ukrainian soldier killed near Bakhmut, five Russian soldiers were killed. But despite the losses and the inclusion of Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov personally in the leadership of the combat operations, the Russian army's winter offensive did not bring any significant territorial gains, but only multiplied the number of Russian soldiers killed.

  2. "We have big problems with the personnel." Rogozin called for a second wave of mobilization. Russia needs to start a second wave of mobilization because of the catastrophic shortage of soldiers in the war in Ukraine, former Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin told radio station "Talk Moscow. "We have to keep in mind that the enemy is stronger than we are. We cannot act here in such a way that everyone is for himself. That's why we need mobilization. It should not only have gone through one in the early fall, there should have been another one. We have big problems with personnel, because guys get wounded, our fighters get killed," Rogozin said. The Russian authorities have once again started talking about mobilization ahead of a Ukrainian counterattack. Aleksandr Boroday, former head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and current State Duma deputy, said that the reservists already drafted "might not be enough. Following him, Crimean State Duma deputy Mikhail Sheremet announced the mobilization. "We must fight 'with the whole world,' as they say, and everyone must die with honor for Russia," he said.

  3.  @71Hamed  This is a Russian fake. As of February 24, 2022, the Russian group that was concentrated on the border with Ukraine and then invaded its territory numbered 182,000 troops. Where did they all go when Russia was forced to conduct additional mobilization last fall? And today, once again, the Russians are shouting about the need to mobilize manpower into the ranks of their army.
