According to media reports here in Russia, intelligence records the appearance of a significant number of Polish and German-speaking mercenaries on the battlefield in the Zaporozhye region, and if so, one can probably say that I was right when I said on my channel many times that the crews of the allegedly transferred For Ukraine, military equipment, including tanks, as well as personnel servicing the equipment, will be NATO military for formalities enrolled in Western PMCs.
I believe that very soon the NATO countries and, no less important, the citizens of the EU members and the United States will begin to regret the participation of their states in this conflict, the losses among the Western military will be so great.

The Western media will not tell about this, of course, but one of the main news here in Russia today was the fact that Russian forces have established full control over the settlement of Blagodatnoye in the vicinity of the city of Soledar, which, by the way, was also mentioned on my channel in today's update. Offensive actions were carried out by subdivisions of Wagner PMC.
Such a development makes the position of the Ukrainian units in Bakhmut extremely difficult, in fact, undefendable.
In addition, this evening the Russian media published information that the Russian side in the course of offensive operations in the Zaporozhye region took control of nine settlements that were previously held by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Assessing the events on the front over the last 3-4 weeks, it seems that the forces that remain loyal to the Zelensky regime are being defeated not only on the battlefield, but also psychologically, because lately they have been leaving positions and retreating from lots direction and too often.

Today, here in Russia, the media broadcast exclusively positive news about the progress of the special military operation, so much so that for many this news may come as a surprise, for example, it seems that the Russian military managed to break through the first line of defense in the Zaporozhye direction with a new offensive.
As I recently said on my channel, the Zelensky regime was transferring forces from the Zaporozhye region to the north to the borders of Belarus and in the Bakhmut region, weakening the contingent in Zaporozhye. Apparently, the Russian armed forces monitored this situation and, as a result of an unexpected offensive, advanced up to 10 kilometers in the Zaporozhye direction and took control of up to 7 settlements in the vicinity of the city of Orekhovo.
In addition, according to the latest information, the Russian armed forces have established full control over the village of Dvurechye in the Donetsk region.
There is also the news of the last hour that Wagner PMC units have taken full control of the settlement of Krasnopolye in the vicinity of Soledar.

After a relatively long pause, last night the Russian side again launched a massive missile attack on the logistical, energy and military infrastructure of the Zelensky regime. I Noted on my channel in today's update that for the first time 6 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles were used at once.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, all targets were achieved by the missile attack, but there is little specific information, although the question arises, exactly what targets were hit by hypersonic missiles?
My opinion is that with hypersonic missiles, Moscow attacked ammunition depots, including American-made missiles for missile launchers and artillery shells, as well as armored vehicles, possibly even places where the Ukrainian side, together with representatives of Poland, hid the Leopard 2A4 tanks recently transferred to Warsaw.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the attack by the hypersonic Kinzhal also destroyed the Patriot air defense system, which allegedly had already been delivered to Ukraine, according to a recent statement by the Polish defense minister.
Unfortunately, the media do not report exact data here in Russia, and probably nowhere else.

You may already know about this, but if not, I’ll tell you that today, here in Russia, the media report that, according to the statement of the head of the PMC Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin, the armed forces of Ukraine lose 10-11,000 soldiers every month in the direction of Bakhmut killed and many times more wounded .
Of course, I will talk about this topic on my channel in tomorrow's update in more detail, but even now we can say that Bakhmut really became a place of destruction of the Ukrainian army and the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian military.
According to Prigozhin’s statement, the Zelensky regime has concentrated about 70,000 soldiers in the direction of Bakhmut and plans to launch a counteroffensive to deblock this city.

This is 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 will certainly talk about this tomorrow on my channel in an update, 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.

It will be another great show as always. And by tradition, I will share in my commentary the information of the day that was relevant for us here in Russia and which I have already spoken about on my channel.
The first and most relevant news is, of course, the transition of the settlement of Kleshcheevka under the full control of Russian forces. Bakhmut is now in operational encirclement, and the position of the units still loyal to the Zelensky regime has deteriorated significantly, to the point of hopelessness.
The second important news is information about the losses of the Zelensky regime on the Bakhmutsky, Seversky and Soledarsky defense lines. According to statements by officials from the Russian side, 14 brigades of the Ukrainian armed forces stationed in this direction lost up to 70% of their personnel killed and wounded.
The third important news is that the Kremlin has warned Washington that it will not leave unanswered if the United States or other NATO countries transfer weapons to Ukraine for strikes deep into the territory of the Russian Federation, including Crimea. The consequences of ill-considered actions of Western countries can be catastrophic.
And one more interesting news is that in the center of Moscow, on the roofs of some state buildings, the Pantsir air defense systems were placed. Telegram channels are full of photos and video confirmation. I don’t know what Moscow is preparing for, but apparently something really serious is coming.

Tracking the updates in Russian media and Russian-language pages on internet platforms all day, I can say that one of the main news of the day in Russia is that information was published on some large telegram channels about the discovery of Leopard 2 tanks in the Nikolaev region of Ukraine.
I mentioned this information on my channel in today's update, but I also noted there that no photo and video materials proving the information were presented in the primary sources.
Personally, my opinion is that Poland could well have secretly transported Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine to train Ukrainian crews, this is possible, especially since, according to the statement of Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Warsaw will request Berlin's permission to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine, however, Germany's permission is a secondary topic and the tanks will be sent anyway.
Today, information was also published with reference to the Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany that Berlin would not mind if one of the countries that have Leporad tanks in service transfers them to Ukraine.
At the same time, it is obvious to me that Western-made main battle tanks will not be able to radically change the situation on the battlefield, and most of them will be destroyed just as easily as hundreds of other tanks in service with Ukraine were destroyed.
