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.

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.

Russia plans to build and modernize thousands of tanks while the enemy is begging for weapons abroad, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev said today. Tomorrow on my channel I’ll probably talk about this topic, including about the types of tanks used in the Special Military Operation zone by Russia, but it’s probably worth sharing this information here as well, many may be interested.
Returning to today's statements by Medvedev, here is a quote, "Yesterday, as you know, our enemy begged for planes, missiles, tanks, while abroad. What we should do in response: it is clear that in this case it is natural for us to increase the production of various types of weapons and military equipment, including modern tanks".
Medvedev made this statement at a meeting during a visit to the Omsk transport engineering plant, where, among other things, tanks are being modernized.
"We are talking about the production and modernization of thousands of tanks," Medvedev continued, noting that this task follows from the state defense order and decisions taken by the Russian president.
As follows from the video, Medvedev at the plant examined, among other things, the upgraded T-80BVM tanks. This is an upgraded version of the T-80BV. The 125-mm cannon was improved on the tank, the gas turbine engine was improved - its power increased to 1,250 hp. Also on the tank is a multi-channel gunner's sight, a driver's observation device and an armament stabilizer. The armor is reinforced with anti-cumulative lattice screens, as well as a complex of modular dynamic protection. Deliveries of T-80BVM to Russian troops began in 2019.

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.

According to the latest news that we receive here in Russia, the Ukrainian side is suffering heavy losses and retreating practically along the entire perimeter of the front, including the directions of Seversk, Bakhmut, Marinka and Vugledar. I talked about it today on my channel, but tomorrow I will update with more information.
It is also reported that as a result of the offensive, Krasnaya Gora is under the complete control of the Russian side, as is Mariinka, a suburb of Donetsk, where a large number of Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered.
Sin'kovka, northeast of Kupyansk, was also taken under the full control of the Russian side.

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..

Today, in Russia, Bakhmut is again one of the main topics and the poorly organized retreat of Ukrainian units from this city, which I talked about in more detail on my channel in today's update, but the question remains, the Zelensky regime will withdraw from Bakhmut only those units that are less combat-ready , leaving the mobilized reservists in the city, or will he take everyone away? I don’t have an answer yet, but I think there will be a second option, Zelensky will sacrifice the mobilized to win time for himself, a day or two.

This news may turn out to be shocking for many, for example, I was very surprised, and although I can't confirm this information in any way, I emphasized this in a conversation with subscribers of my channel, the data probably deserve discussion, because according to the information spread in the Russian-speaking segment of the telegram, the Zelensky regime has lost more than 300,000 soldiers since the beginning of the fighting. Catastrophic losses, if true.
I'm wondering how military experts, in particular Scott Ritter and Douglas Macgregor, would comment on this information.

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.

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.

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.

Some may not know that the government of Ukraine could face a shortage of money and not be unable to pay salaries if the US Congress fails to approve another injection of funds into the Ukrainian economy, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, which I will talk about on my channel too, because even if the taxpayers of Western countries do not like it, they need to know that the US and other donor nations currently pay the salaries of some 150,000 civil servants in Ukraine as well as over half a million teachers, professors, school workers in general, hundreds of thousands of military personnel and in general everyone who receives a salary from the state budget, that is, over a million people..

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?
