  1. According to media reports published here in Russia, the Zelensky regime is beginning to evacuate the civilian population in Bakhmut, which, as I noted on my channel in today's update, may be another indicator that Kiev is planning to withdraw troops from Bakhmut and possibly Chasov Yar too. According to media reports, there may be 5-6,000 civilians in Bakhmut at this moment. Earlier, the media reported that the Zelensky regime was removing archival materials from state institutions from Bakhmut and evacuating production facilities and state institutions from Chasy Yar. In addition, it became known tonight that units of PMC Wagner have established full control over the village of Paraskovyovka, north of Bakhmut.

  2. Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian armed forces have lost up to 800 military and several dozen combat systems, including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and artillery, as well as one MiG-29 fighter in the Donetsk sector of the front.

  3. Russia's military has “steadily adapted” to changes on the battlefield in Ukraine, casting doubt on Kiev's plans to win back areas currently controlled by Moscow, the Wall Street Journal has reported, which does not surprise me and the audience of my channel, but may come as a surprise to the audience of Western information media, who have no idea about Russia’s inevitable victory in the Ukrainian conflict and over the so-called ruling elites of the West..

  4. The death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the escalation with Israel has reached 687, the Ministry of Health.

  5. 900 Israeli civilians were killed in a Hamas attack, the Israeli Ministry of Health said. 2,500 people were injured.

  6. The word destroyed in this case means killed.

  8.  @everdinestenger1548  Yes. This is really serious and extremely important work, especially in the context of endless propaganda from all sides. People appreciate it and therefore subscribe to the channel..

  9. What will happen next, what other weapons will the West send to Ukraine, attack helicopters and fighter jets? And what if Russia destroys them too, just like destroying Western ground equipment including tanks, the West will send its own armies and then a nuclear war? Is the Western elite able to realize that they are on the path of self-destruction?

  10. By the way, it will be said, on my channel, I also asked about the lack of reaction from Moscow to the decision to send Western tanks to Ukraine. I don't know if this is a good sign or vice versa.

  11. The issue of Vuhledar has been actually resolved and in the near future this small town will be under the complete control of Russian forces.

  12. It seems that even the Donbass will not be liberated until the winter offensive. If Moscow can organize any kind of offensive at all, given the actions of the Russian leadership that frees the Ukrainian Nazis and their leaders, as they did yesterday..

  13.  @richardcarlyon241  A source of information? What kind of help, can you be more specific?

  14. The situation with the economy in Russia is really not bad, not ideal, of course, but definitely not bad. Inflation has ceased to rise sharply, prices for some products have even dropped a little, unemployment is also quite low, the mood of society is moderately optimistic, as far as I can tell from my observations. I have spoken about these topics many times on my channel.

  15. Don't rush guys. Three more weeks until February 20-21 and a lot can change in that time on the battlefield, a lot. Remember this conversation then.

  16.  @odinbiflindi  Yes, I know, and yet the supply of missiles by the West with a larger radius than those already supplied to Ukraine raises the stakes. Moscow will have to respond to this provocation and respond harshly.

  17. By the way, after Putin's recent warnings to the Western elite, which I also spoke about on my channel, today warning words were heard from the former president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, who said that Moscow would not limit itself in the use of any weapons and would act exclusively in accordance with the military doctrine determining, among other things, the issue of nuclear deterrence. I may be wrong, but I believe that with each new day we are all closer to the risk of an apocalyptic scenario in Ukraine and in a confrontation between the collective West and the Russian Federation.

  18.  @FordFalcon1962nBlue  If we summarize the available data, it turns out that over the past 3 days, forces loyal to Zelensky lost about 2-2500 soldiers killed, 5-6000 wounded. Also, over 100 tanks, about 150 armored personnel carriers, another 150 other armored and transport vehicles, 3 helicopters, 4 aircraft and a dozen drones were destroyed.

  19. Perhaps not everyone knows yet that Washington, with the help of its asset in Georgia, has embarked on a plan to change the regime in this country in order to bring extremely Russophobic elements to power and open a second front against Russia. I have been talking about this on my channel for the past few days and I will repeat now, Washington will sacrifice Georgia for its geopolitical ambitions, as it did once in 2008.

  20. @Niall Daly The main sources are telegram channels, but the official statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation made 3-4 hours ago carries a sufficient volume. At that time, the Russian Defense Ministry was talking about more than 500 killed among units loyal to Zelensky. I have links in the comments section under the morning video that I posted on my channel.. If I post a link here, my comment can be removed by moderators..

  21.  @FrauUnibrow  Completely agree with you. Great analogy.

  22. By the way, the Ukrainian side began to use chemical weapons in the direction of Bakhmut and Vuhledar, Russian media also reported referring to DPR officials.

  23. Don't you think that too much time and importance is given to the American Himars MLRS? .. In my understanding, no weapon will save the neo-Nazi regime of Zelensky controlled by Washington and London..

  24.  @morenamcguire7133  Personnel will of course be from the NATO armies. They will issue paid holidays for them and send them to Ukraine, as if they were volunteers...

  25. By the way, it will be said, as Alexander noted, Russia will equate Ukraine's possible use of Western amination with depleted uranium as the use of a dirty bomb, and this may become a trigger for Russia's retaliatory use of tactical nuclear weapons.

  26. In the same time, 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.

  27.  @charlesmartel6103  Zelensky has received tens of billions of dollars from the US and the EU before, but that didn’t help him much, did it?
    4
  28.  @charlesmartel6103  Come on. Bakhmut will soon come under Russian control, you'll see. If the American authorities really wanted to help the Ukrainian people, they would tell Zelensky to immediately sit down at the peace negotiating table, but this is not happening.

  29.  @danr6175  Can you be more specific?

  30.  @fh.7287  I fully share your point of view. Such sad times are coming for the world, or so it seems.

  31. I see no objective reasons for problems with the production of cruise missiles in Russia. Russia has enough intellectual, technological, material and production resources.

  32. By the way, it will be said that there will probably not be any Russian winter offensive expected by many, if the offensive does take place, it will happen in early spring, before the start of the rainy season. Time will tell.

  33.  @andreipopov1668  In the current environment, any success is better than no success. Is not it?

  34. The Biden administration is providing another military aid package to Ukraine, this time for $350 million. Of course, I will also talk about this in tomorrow's update on my channel, after analyzing the information better, but now we can say that Washington is gradually reducing the financial resources allocated to Ukraine. Naturally, we are still talking about hundreds of millions, and this is a huge amount of money that could have been used to solve significant problems in the United States itself, but given the fact that the Biden administration has never been distinguished by love and respect for US citizens, it remains only to state that in the White House to some extent, interest in Ukraine is also declining. By the way, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the allocation of a new package of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $350 million.

  35. 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.

  36. As I predicted on my channel over the past weeks, Russian troops have established an operational encirclement over the city of Avdiivka on the line of contact between the parties. In the coming days, the Ukrainian garrison of the city may collapse.

  37. And Dima from Military Summary is telling truth. The Zelensky regime loses 1.5-2,000 soldiers every day, of which 300-500 are irretrievable losses, most likely more, given the intensity of Russian artillery shelling and pinpoint missile strikes..

  38.  @suryakumairi3622  I was quite depressed after the so-called regroupings, it is true, now I am definitely more optimistic, but the critical attitude towards a number of political and military leaders remains, because there is no reason to correct my opinion in this regard.

  39. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the first Leopard tanks could be delivered to Ukraine in about three to four months. He made the corresponding statement on Wednesday on the TV channel Die Welt.

  40. As always, an interesting show.. And yes, I remain true to the assumption that it is a matter of time and the entire South-East of Ukraine, from Kharkov to Odessa, will be under the control of Moscow..

  41.  @iraklinatroshvili7915  That's for sure.

  42.  @foseninfo8954  If someone sent something to the territory not controlled by the Syrian authorities and handed it over to terrorists who supposedly should help the population affected by the earthquake, this is not help for Syria, because Syria has an official government through which such issues should be resolved, and certainly not through terrorists controlled by Turkey, or by the US and UK secret services.

CNN writes that the total amount of assistance will be $2.17 billion, $425 million of which will be used to transfer weapons from the Pentagon's stockpiles, and $1.75 billion to purchase new ones.

  48. According to media reports, including the Washington Post, U.S. officials are privately expressing doubts about the likelihood of success of the announced Ukrainian counteroffensive.

  49. I also wrote on my channel now that Kleshcheevka will be under the full control of the Russian side. This was stated by the head of PMC Wagner Prigozhin. A quote from his words - “We can safely say that the settlement of Kleshcheevka, which is one of the important suburbs of Bakhmut, has been completely taken under the control of the Wagner PMC units,” said Yevgeny Prigozhin. - Exclusively by units of PMC "Wagner". Kleshcheevka is released. Fierce fighting is still going on around Kleshcheevka. The enemy clings to every meter of the earth. Contrary to various opinions that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are fleeing from Artemovsk, this is not so. The APU works clearly and harmoniously. We have a lot to learn from them. But in any case, the units of PMC "Wagner" are moving forward meter by meter. The settlement of Artemovsk will be taken."
