You may not believe it, but contrary to the expectations of many, both in Ukraine and in the West, about the imminent counter-offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces in the direction of Bakhmut, to unblock the city, in reality exactly the opposite is happening, as I predicted on my channel in updates, offensive operations are carried out by the Russian side, the assault units of Wagner PMC.
More specifically, the Wagnerites have not only crossed the Bakhmutka River in the east of the city, but have made significant progress in the past 24 hours and are currently 600 meters from the administrative building in the city center.
Such information is reported here in Russia by the media and telegram channels this afternoon.

I wrote about this on my channel too, but the viewers of this channel may also find this information interesting. The settlement of Kleshcheevka in the vicinity of the city of Bakhmut is now under the full control of Russian forces.
This was stated by the head of PMC Wagner Prigozhin. According to him, the settlement of Kleshcheevka, which is one of the important suburbs of Bakhmut, has been completely taken under control by units of the PMC “Wagner.
He also stated that, contrary to the information of a number of media outlets, the Ukrainian military did not flee from the position in Bakhmut and fought bravely, despite the fact that they had no chance of holding the city.
- At the same time, there is information that forces loyal to Zelensky lost about 30,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the direction of Soledar and Bakhmut.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (APU) involved 14 brigades in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) and Soledar directions, in battles with Russian forces they lost 60-70% of their personnel. This was announced on Thursday by a military expert, colonel from the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) Vitaly Kiselev
If Kiselev's information is true, the losses of the Ukrainian side on the Seversk-Bakhmut-Soledar defense line are really colossal.

Over the past day, in order to support ground operations of Wagner PMCs in the Bakhmut area, combat aircraft of the Russian Federation made 11 sorties, and 48 fire missions were completed by missile forces and artillery.
I will talk about this in more detail on my channel in the next update, but it can already be said that according to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the irretrievable losses of the Zelensky regime over the past 24 hours amounted to more than 450 Ukrainian military personnel and mercenaries, three tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles, six armored fighting vehicles, six vehicles, D-20 and MSTA-B howitzers, as well as two US-made AN/TPQ-50 counter-battery radars.

Well, as I have said many times on my channel, the Russian forces may soon encircle and subsequently take full control of not only Bakhmut, but also Chasov Yar. So today, here in Russia, almost all the media report data that the Zelensky regime has begun the evacuation of state institutions and enterprises from Chasov Yar near Artemivsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut) in the Donbass. A military expert, retired lieutenant colonel of the LPR Andrey Marochko also spoke about this.
Earlier, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that hostilities were taking place in the Paraskovievka area in the Donbass, the liberation of this settlement would cut off the last supply route for Ukrainian troops in Artemovsk - the route from Chasov Yar.

Here in Russia, one of the main news stories today is that, according to the media and the Ministry of Defense, the Zelensky regime, together with the leadership of Moldova, is planning provocations against Transnistria, intending to invade this unrecognized republic and seize Soviet-era ammunition depots.
I talked about this topic in more detail on my channel today, but I will share my opinion here too and note that such a provocation can force Moscow to resort to extreme measures, not only launching a full-scale offensive operation in the direction of Sumy, Chernigov, Kharkov or even Kiev. Such a provocation could force Moscow to use extreme force, such as hypersonic missiles or, in the worst case scenario, tactical nuclear weapons.
The situation is getting really dangerous for the whole world..

Here in Russia, as in the rest of the world, probably The opinion has long been cultivated that before the end of winter or in the first days of spring, a full-scale Russian offensive will begin that will finally break the ability of the Zelensky regime to fight. On my channel, I also spoke about this topic, although recently I personally begin to doubt that the Russian offensive will take place at all.
At the same time, even Western media write that US officials are pressing Zelensky to intensify the fighting even more, and, in the end, it may well turn out that instead of a Russian offensive, we will see a Ukrainian counteroffensive. I don't think the Zelenskiy regime is capable of launching a successful counteroffensive, but they certainly can try.

Contrary to the expectations of many, both in the West and in Russia itself, she personally does not consider it possible that Belarusian troops will enter the conflict in Ukraine, just as I do not consider realistic forecasts for an imminent Russian offensive towards Kyiv.
In my opinion, Minsk can and most likely will help Moscow with heavy equipment, tanks, armored personnel carriers, possibly helicopters and artillery, with logistics, but Russia will conduct military operations with its manpower. In addition, the winter offensive, if such a thing can take place, will most likely develop towards the western borders of Ukraine in order to cut off the supply channels for Western weapons.
I also spoke on these topics on my channel, but perhaps here it will be interesting for the audience to hear the opinion of a Russian citizen and a former journalist.

Perhaps not everyone paid attention to this information, I will also talk about it on my channel, however, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, openly stated today that Moscow is ready to use nuclear weapons.
The world is on the verge of a global conflict, and if Washington really wants Moscow's defeat, Russia will defend itself by any means, including nuclear weapons, Medvedev said.
With each new day, we are all closer to a nuclear disaster on a planetary scale, aren't we?

Ukraine has significantly boosted its holdings of US government debt since the start of the conflict with Russia, the news agency RIA Novosti reported on Wednesday, citing data from the US Treasury and the Ukrainian Finance Ministry.
From February 2022 through the end of September of this year, Kiev’s investment in US debt jumped 1.8 times, or by $10.7 billion, according to RIA. The country’s current holdings of $24.5 billion are the highest since at least 2011. At the end of last winter, Ukraine’s US Treasury portfolio amounted to $13.8 billion, whereas at its lowest level, in mid-summer 2022, it stood at $7.9 billion, RIA's data shows.

This is also very interesting in my opinion, because we can talk about the beginning of the end of the European Union, or even the whole modern world.
Here in Russia, the media is reporting tonight that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that in an effort to defeat Russia, the EU bureaucracy may send a military contingent to Ukraine under the guise of a peacekeeping mission.
I говорил на эту тему на моем канале сегодня в обновлении, because if the leaders of the EU really take such a step, this will be the unconditional beginning of the end of the European Union as a quasi-state entity.
Perhaps Orban’s words are somehow connected with Poland’s desire to create some kind of anti-Russian alliance and, under the auspices of this alliance, provide Ukraine with additional military assistance, including fighter jets, and maybe even with the manpower of the Polish armed forces.

This information may seem surprising to many, but according to the Russian media, at the end of last year, the level of Russia's external debt in relation to GDP fell to its lowest level in history.
despite the many thousands of sanctions and pressure from the West, in Russia the level of external debt to GDP has decreased by ten percentage points - to 16.6 percent, which is an incredible result compared to many Western countries. countries.
...
The highest level of external debt was observed in European economies: in the Netherlands - 380.5 percent of GDP, in the UK - 287 percent, and in Switzerland - 280.5 percent. Moreover, in these countries, the indicator decreased over the year - by 14.29 and 16 percentage points, respectively.

Up to nine out of ten Ukrainian draftees who joined the army a year ago were either killed or wounded in action, a senior conscription officer in the Poltava Region said on Friday, according to local media.
Speaking at a meeting of Poltava City Council, Lt. Colonel Vitaly Berezhny, who serves as acting head of the territorial center of recruitment and social support, admitted that local authorities are struggling with their conscription campaign, having fulfilled the mobilization plan by only 13%, which puts the city in last place in the whole region.
Berezhny was quoted by local media outlet Poltavshina as saying the military urgently needs reinforcements, as “out of 100 people who joined the units last fall, 10-20 remain, the rest are dead, wounded or disabled.”

The ongoing strike by script writers and actors in Hollywood has cost the California economy some $5 billion, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing a study by the Milken Institute, a local think tank.
According to the report, the strike, which prompted a shutdown of most Hollywood productions, has sent ripple effects across a large number of local businesses that support the movie-making industry, including caterers, dry cleaners, drivers, rental companies, and others.

It may seem strange, but the topic of the drone here in Russia caused much less reaction in the media and society than in the United States. In today's update on my channel, of course, I touched on this topic, but only slightly, because all the most significant has already been done and said yesterday and the day before yesterday, but in the West the topic continues to retain its relevance. Perhaps to divert the attention of the masses from internal problems?
...
As I predicted on my channel in updates, the leadership of Poland is taking another unprecedented step towards further escalation with Russia. This time, Warsaw intends to transfer the first 4 MiG-29 fighters to Ukraine in the coming days, Polish President Andrzej Duda said at a press conference on Thursday.
"We are sending MiG-29s to Ukraine," he said, stressing that Poland now has more than 10 such aircraft in stock. "Over the next few days, we will hand over the first four fully serviceable aircraft," - Duda stressed.
According to him, "the rest of the planes are now being serviced, they will be prepared and handed over."
As Duda pointed out, "these are the planes that we received from the GDR army at one time." "They are still active in our air defense, but these are the last years of their work," the president specified.
P.s. I believe that Moscow's response will be quite tough on such actions of the Polish leadership.

Well.. Despite the repeated statements by Zelensky and his military leaders about their intention to hold positions in Bakhmut to the end, in reality, more and more reports are coming from official sources and telegrams from channels here in Russia that there have been more cases of attempts by Ukrainian units to leave the city in small groups, as mentioned by on my channel in today's update.
According to reports, Ukrainian groups are trying to get out of the city on vehicles and using country roads, but get stuck in the mud and continue on foot, trying to break through to Chasy Yar, but Russian artillery opens fire on almost all such groups, causing serious losses to them.
Although open sources do not have exact data on the number of Ukrainian garrison encircled in Bakhmut, the most conservative estimates say that there are at least 3 to 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers there, whom the Zelensky regime actually doomed to a shameful retreat if the Russian side provides them with a humanitarian corridor, captivity or death . This is the reality on the ground.
It is probably worth paying attention to yesterday's statement by the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin, who said yesterday that in Bakhmut the Ukrainian armed forces lose 10-11,000 soldiers killed every month.

The story with Western tanks does not lose its relevance, although it is obvious in my opinion, as I have said more than once on my channel, that the supply of weapons by NATO countries will not change the situation and will not save the Zelensky regime, this can only be done by the direct intervention of the NATO armed forces, but this will not happen, because such a development will be followed by a thermonuclear war, and there will be no winners then, everyone will lose, including the Western elite. Are the Western elites ready to lose everything, including life, or, at best, live underground in some kind of bunker until the end of their days? I do not think so.

The Ukrainian garrison of Bakhmut collapsed and the godly Wagner PMCs are finishing off the remaining Ukrainian units. I believe this can be concluded after today's statement by the head of the Wagnerites, Yevgeny Prigozhin, who announced that the Russian side controls 70% of the city.
On my channel, a few days ago, I reported that Bakhmut is 70% controlled by Wagner units, but today there was official confirmation of this information from Prigozhin himself.
According to him, the Ukrainian side is concentrating forces in the direction of Bakhmut for a counteroffensive and de-blockade of the city and the encirclement of the Wagnerites.
In this regard, Prigozhin asked Shoigu to take all necessary measures to prevent the Wagner PMC from being cut off from the main forces of the Russian Federation, as it "will lead to negative consequences for the special military operation.
In my opinion, the Zelensky regime will not be able to carry out a large-scale and, more importantly, an effective counteroffensive and will not be able to deblockade Bakhmut, but it is still logical that the Wagner PMC leadership is taking measures to be properly prepared for any development of events.

To be honest, I don’t think that the ruling elite of the Western elite will aim to defeat Russia in Ukraine and then divide it, because such a development would strengthen China’s position in the Far East, perhaps even provoke Beijing into invading the territory of the Russian Federation and seizing resource-rich eastern regions of the country.
However, I agree about regime change, because regime change and manual control of Russia, especially in the field of fighting corruption and corrupt officials, can certainly be among the main plans of the West, because it is obvious to me that by removing horizontal corruption from the Russian Federation, the country can really be pulled up and given society has a firm feeling that the new bureaucratic class and the country are really working for it, which means that, if necessary, citizens can and will even have to go to war for such a state.
And the West will arrange a war precisely at the moment when Russian society will be in high spirits, let's say in 7-10 years, a war with China, because it has long been obvious to me that the West considers Russia as the main theater of military operations with China and wants Russia to be able to to accept
the main military strike of Beijing, so Western countries will get less.
Today's Russia would not be able to cope with such a scenario, which is why the Western elites need a regime change in Russia and a change in the Russian elites, the main part of the current elites, in order to create a new elite and, if possible, build a more capable Russia in a short period of time.
I hope I conveyed my opinion in understandable English. Maybe tomorrow I will talk about all this on my channel too. We'll see.

WELL.. U.S. Navy divers planted explosives under the Nord Stream gas pipelines last summer, which the Norwegians activated three months later, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh said on his website, citing an informed source. I will definitely talk about this topic in tomorrow's update on my channel, by that time the reaction of official Moscow will probably become known.
“Last summer, Navy divers, operating under the cover of <...> a NATO exercise known as Baltops 22, planted remotely activated explosive devices that destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines three months later,” wrote Seymour Hersh.
According to Hersh, a Norwegian Navy aircraft dropped a sonar device on September 26 that set off the explosives.
As the journalist noted, US President Joe Biden decided to sabotage the Nord Stream after nine months of highly secret discussions within the Washington national security community.
“During the discussions, the main question was how not to leave evidence,” he said.
He also added that National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan was also involved in organizing the sabotage.
The US Navy, for its part, offered to use the submarine to attack the Nord Streams, and the Air Force - remote fuse bombs, the journalist stressed.
According to him, at the beginning of last year, the CIA task force told Sullivan's inter-agency team the following: "We have a way to blow up the pipelines."
Hersh's page on the Substack website, which published an investigation into US involvement in the Nord Stream sabotage, was created a few hours ago. The link to it was posted on his Twitter account by investigative journalist Matt Taibbi.

In addition, Dozens of mercenaries were transferred from Ukraine to Georgia to provoke bloodshed and set the stage for regime change, as I predicted on my channel in updates many times. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili confirmed this today in an interview with the Imedi TV channel.
Georgia's ruling party Georgian Dream will not allow the opening of a second military front in the country, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said in an interview with Imedi TV.
"I know that several dozen people came from Ukraine. I want to appeal to them - let you not have illusions and expectations that something will happen here. I want to wish all the fighters in Ukraine to return to their healthy families, but I urge you "Don't succumb to dirty provocations. We know much more than they can imagine. The state today is at the highest level ... as long as the Georgian Dream is in power, we will not allow a second front, this is out of the question," he said .
On March 10, Vice Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Gia Volsky announced that a group of supporters of ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, who fought in Ukraine on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, had arrived in the country. According to him, their goal is not to remove the revolutionary process from the agenda.
The Prime Minister also called unacceptable the participation of the military in the protests and urged not to try to bring unrest in Georgia.

What a crazy operation the Zelensky regime carried out this morning. 60 special forces and hundreds of motorized riflemen were sent to slaughter .. Absolute madness ..
According to my estimates, relying on official data from the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Zelensky regime has lost about 2,000 soldiers killed and 5-6,000 soldiers wounded in the last 3 days alone, both in the Kherson direction, and near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and in the Kharkov region.
In addition, the Zelensky regime lost more than 100 tanks, more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles, 3 helicopters, 4 aircraft, dozens of artillery units.. In general, the week turned out to be catastrophic for the cocaine addict and his masters in Washington and London..

You may not agree with me, but in my opinion Russia is one step closer to regime change, as planned by the ruling Western elite.
I talked about this on my channel, because this is the main topic for Russia and the main threat for the next time ..
The West is actively using its asset in the Russian political and military leadership and is likely to achieve its goal..
One might say that Putin can still use nuclear weapons, turn the tide of war and win, thereby retaining power for himself and his people, but even nuclear weapons will not save him. The Russian army is actually incapacitated and is retreating, mobilized reservists are unlikely to cope where the army cannot cope, which means that Putin will not be able to turn the tide with the use of tactical nuclear weapons, he has already lost and Russia itself has lost because of him and his people, Russian society has lost..
