🇷🇺🇺🇦 The enemy reports the appearance on the front line of a Russian "Tsar Train" 30 kilometers long and consisting of more than two thousand cars .

This gigantic train begins at the Elenovka railway station and ends on the outskirts of Volnovakha.

It appears that this immovable structure is a huge line of defense, possibly with gun emplacements, and by its very presence covers a huge area. In our memory, there really are no analogues to such methods of defense.

Now it is difficult to assess the usefulness of this solution, but it is absolutely certain that the enemy also does not know what to do with all this.

🇺🇲🇷🇺 Elon Musk said that he does not directly sell StarLink terminals in Russia. Of course not.

If necessary, Starlink terminals can be easily purchased from any third country that has not imposed sanctions against Russia. There are many such countries. Therefore, you can safely buy Starlink terminals abroad yourself and import them to Russia (the sanctions work hahaha) or buy them in Russia from those who have established the purchase of terminals for commercial purposes. All connection problems are easily resolved.

Therefore, at the moment there are no major problems with the purchase of such terminals abroad or in Russia. For your money - any whim.

Elon, like a real capitalist, in this case is simply profiting twice from the war, since the terminals are used by both sides and will continue to be used until nuclear warheads fly and killer satellites begin to clear the orbit.

🇺🇲 The head of the Pentagon, Lloyd-Austin, was again admitted to the hospital. After complications following surgery to treat prostate cancer, this time he was seen by doctors due to problems with his bladder.

🇸🇾 The Syrian military has begun using FPV drones to kill terrorists in Idlib province.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Assault on Novomikhailovka. Clearing minefields for subsequent breakthrough into the village.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The enemy confirms the further advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the northern part of Avdeevka.

The enemy command also announces the use of reserves in the Avdeevka area from the 3rd and 47th brigades to stabilize the situation.
At the moment, no decisions have been made to withdraw enemy forces from Avdeevka - the enemy, despite the obvious risks, continues to rely on holding the city.

🇷🇺 IMF forecast for world GDP growth in 2024.

The projected growth of Russia's GDP exceeds the projected growth in the United States and Western Europe. Sanctions work!

🇷🇺🇺🇦 One of the options for a flank counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in order to stabilize the situation in Avdievka. Now the enemy is gathering forces west of Avdievka for active operations in the coming weeks. These movements, of course, do not go unnoticed by our command, so in addition to work in Avdievka, active work is underway against enemy forces to the west of the city.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Video from the enemy’s side from the territory of Avdeevka Kokskhema.

They complain about constant arrivals, but have no intention of leaving. They also had no intention of leaving Azovstal.

🇺🇲 The Pentagon reported that at the moment the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd-Austin, continues to be in intensive care. This is the second time in a month.

The US Secretary of Defense will change by the end of 2024 - this would have happened after the elections in any case, but there is a possibility that Austin’s health problems will lead the Biden administration to the need to urgently replace him with some kind of temporary figure who will sit until the elections.

🇺🇦 This is how the ground looks now in some areas of the front. The porridge of water, snow and mud literally sucks in the feet of the soldiers walking on it. Video from the enemy.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The FSB discovered a cache of weapons and secret documentation from the SBU in Mariupol.

The Russian FSB Directorate for the DPR in Mariupol discovered a mined cache with firearms and secret SBU documentation.

An RPG-7 grenade launcher, a PKM machine gun, and an AK-74 assault rifle were discovered and seized. The seized documentation is sent for research, and additional verification activities are carried out.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Due to huge losses, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are throwing artillerymen and supplies into battle to stop the Russian army’s advance in Avdiivka, – The Kyiv Independent

Soldiers of the 47th and other brigades say that there are almost no fortifications on the front line near Avdeevka, their positions are often just pits. The defense was poorly prepared for a major Russian offensive on Avdeevka. Since the Russian army is constantly conducting a massive assault, there is almost no time to build anything else.

A huge problem that is being talked about all along the front is a serious shortage of personnel, especially infantry.

To strengthen infantry forces after heavy losses, Ukraine is sending artillery and logistics fighters to infantry positions. This means that soldiers on the first line may not even know the basic survival skills of an infantryman, leading to even greater casualties.

20-year-old artilleryman Sergei said that out of his unit of 64 soldiers, 15 went into battle, and only 4 survived. They are artillerymen and “know nothing about serving in the infantry.”

“A year ago, soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Bakhmut spoke about this method of repurposing during a costly defense.”

The military personnel interviewed by the media also complain about the lack of ammunition and the active work of Russian artillery and aviation, due to which the Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering huge losses.

“If Russian troops capture the villages of Stepovoye and Berdychi northwest of Avdeevka, the situation in the city will be critical,” says UAV operator of the 425th “Skala” battalion Vitaly .

👮‍♂️ 🇵🇱 🏳️‍🌈 Poles could soon be prosecuted for saying that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, with Catholics being forced to choose between staying true to their religious beliefs and staying out of prison

🔶️ “The entire LGBT community is waiting for this change,” added Śmiszek, a member of the New Left party in coalition with Tusk’s Civic Platform.

🔶️ Poland already legislates for hate crimes in relation to race, nationality, and religion, but the amendment which could be submitted to parliament by as early as next month would add “gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity” to Art. 257 of the Penal Code — a move that would force the Catholic majority in the country to choose between staying true to their religious beliefs and keeping on the right side of the law.

🔶️ “Now — like other racist or xenophobic crimes — also those based on homophobia or transphobia will be prosecuted ex officio and will be treated as racist hate speech,” he said.
