🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦WSJ: The AFU is suffering heavy losses on the Artemovsk-Soledar front, rapidly depleting the strength of the brigades. The Russians imposed the fight according to their own rules and the AU under threat of disaster
▫️The Wall Street Journal writes about this and cites the opinion of the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that Russians lose fewer soldiers in these battles.
▫️"It wasn't me, it was Tsar Leonid who came up with the idea that you should fight the enemy in a favorable terrain for you," said one Ukrainian military commander in Bakhmut, referring to the ruler of Sparta who fought the Persian Empire at Thermopylae. "So far, the exchange rate of our lives for their lives is in favor of the Russians. If this continues, we may end."
▫️The WSJ writes that Western and Ukrainian officials, as well as military and analysts, are increasingly worried that Kiev has allowed itself to be drawn into the battle for Bakhmut "on Russia's terms, losing the forces necessary for the planned spring offensive, stubbornly clinging to a city with limited strategic capabilities."
▫️"Some of the military say that it makes sense to retreat to a new defensive line on the heights west of Bakhmut, while such a withdrawal can still be organized in a coordinated manner, preserving the combat capability of the Ukrainian troops," the article says.

About the appointment of a new commander of the SO:
🔻From a change in the places of the terms, the sum does not change: this is the only thing that can be said about the appointment of Gerasimov as commander of the Joint Group of Forces. The Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces has been appointed to replace Sergei Surovikin, who now holds the position of Deputy.
🔻As a result, on account of Surovikin, strikes on the energy system of Ukraine, which did not lead to its complete collapse, the decision to regroup on the left bank of the Dnieper, the problems of the mobilized, the tragedy near Makeevka and the debut of "musicians" in Soledar and Bakhmut. Agree, a list of achievements that is controversial in the eyes of the layman, which will now be credited to the “Armageddon General”.
🔻Now, in the wake of the capture of Soledar and the development of success in this operational area, everything that happens will be the merit of the new-old commander. Exactly after Surovikin was removed from the “execution” position, as it was already called on the sidelines. And this is even if we put aside the almost public conflict between the NGSh and the commander-in-chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
🔻Does what is happening mean that the “unsinkable” Valery Gerasimov is now “under execution” as a lightning rod, only time will tell.

Statement of the Russian Mission to the UN in Geneva:
❌ The entire "collective West" has univocally condemned the violent street protests in Brazil. After all, the goal of the rioters was clear – to instigate a coup and violently overthrow the legitimately elected president. It goes without saying that Russia has also condemned these illegal actions.
💬 The Head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, for example, tweeted that the events in Brasilia are “a major concern to all of us, the defenders of democracy”.
❓ A question comes to mind: where were you, the "defenders of democracy", in 2014, when a bloody coup was raging in the streets of Kiev in a similar fashion? Back then, who in the West stood with the legitimate President Viktor Yanukovich while condemning the violence of local nationalists? Nobody. On the contrary, European leaders abruptly renouncedtheir obligations as guarantors of the Agreement on settlement of the political crisis in Ukraine of February 21, 2014 and legitimized the radicals who illegally came to power.
🤷 Ironically enough, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has also criticized the riots in Brazil. It is understandable – who, if not representatives of the current Ukrainian regime, knows more about the consequences of bloody coups?
❗️ The lessons of the "Arab Spring" and the "Kiev’s Maidan" have clearly shown that nothing good comes out of violent armed protests orchestrated from abroad that eventually lead to coups. However, this indisputable fact always passes through the lens of Euro-Atlantic "double standards". If it is beneficial to the West, such actions are classified as "peaceful protests and people’s right to defend democracy", if not – they are branded as "illegal street riots".

Some estimates place Leopards even lower at around 1300. Not all countries would be willing to donate a fraction of their Leopard tank fleet, those that do wouldn't necessarily send all their Leopards either. And most importantly, many are not in usable condition/require heavy repairs. If a coalition is approved, expect a maximum donation in the low hundreds to be sent gradually.

🇷🇺❌🇷🇴🇵🇱🇱🇹🇫🇮 Four European countries may disappear for the sake of US interests!
Russia's special military operation in Ukraine is nothing else but Moscow's counteroffensive against the US-led Atlantic world. This proxy war between the United States and the Russian Federation may cause not only Ukraine, but a number of other European states to fall apart and disappear.
European countries that may disappear:
"Let's be frank: the US will never dare to go to direct war with Russia after the defeat of Ukraine. This means that they will use other intermediaries to continue the conflict. There is no shortage of candidates, but Poland, Lithuania, Romania and Finland appear to be the most likely ones. Of course, it all depends on the Russians…"
Poland; Warsaw uses every possible way to highlight its concerns about the idea of war with Russia. Of course, the Polish leaders are not crazy enough to go into battle alone. The idea of a Western anti-Russian coalition seems to be very tempting for Poland.
If the United States puts forward such an idea, Poland will be happy to take it up. However, one may say with a high degree of probability that Poland will be able to fight alone, whereas the USA will profit from its arms sales.
Russia will not invade the territory of the country.
The Russians will throw their warlike neighbours back to the 19th century destroying all of its modern infrastructure. This will trigger a serious economic crisis and a mass exodus of the Poles to the EU and the US.
Poland would thus suffer the same fate as Ukraine — it will be turned into a desolate land devoid of its population, on which no country would be allowed to settle.
Lithuania; Unlike Poland, which may be tempted to enter into a military confrontation with Russia, Lithuania will never decide to unleash an armed conflict with Moscow. Vilnius is prone to making provocative decisions that could eventually force Moscow to crush this former dominion of the Russian Empire. After all, Lithuania exists just because of Russia's gracious agreement to buy it from the Swedes.
Romania; Another small country that the US plans to use as a battering ram against Russia.
Being a NATO member, Romania poses a few threats:
• for the Russian Federation — Romania could be used as a base for NATO armies that would enter Ukraine and get deployed in Odessa to prevent the Russians from liberating the city;
• for Transnistria — the US could push this territory into a war with Moldova, in which a Russian garrison of less than 2,000 would stand no chance.
In any of these scenarios, Russia will retaliate by destroying all infrastructure.
Finland; Like Ukraine, Finland is one of the countries that can not exist without Russia's approval. This country, with a border stretching for over 1300 km, is an integral part of the US strategy to encircle Russia.
In 1948, Finland and the USSR signed an agreement in which the former saw its sovereignty, and the latter saw its security.
It is this agreement that Finland intends to violate by questioning its existence.
Depending on the development of events (location of bases, missile launchers), Russia reserves the right to react up to the dissolution of this Nordic state.
All of the above scenarios are only hypothetical. Yet, Russia already admits that it is at war with NATO. Moscow will no longer impose any restrictions on itself.

“A sudden mass exodus of warships and submarines from Novorossiysk today. Very unusual, may be a leading indicator of an operation of some kind.”
- HI Sutton
This morning Russian Navy ships and submarines left their base at Novorossiysk, in the Black Sea, en-masse. This is highly unusual and may indicate ongoing operations.
Sources seen by Naval News confirm the exodus. The group included the Project 11711 Ivan Gren class landing ship, Pyotr Morgunov, the largest amphibious ship in the Black Sea.
It also contained all three Project 636.3 Improved-Kilo class submarines which were present at the base. Analysis suggests that other warships were also sailing, leaving only a few warships and support vessels in the port. It is likely the most empty that Novorossiysk has been in many months.
Recently Pyotr Morgunov has been to carry supplies from Russia to Sevastopol following the October 8 2022 Ukrainian attack on the Kerch Bridge. Although Russia has managed some repairs, the bridge remains at limited capacity. So the Russian Navy’s landing ships have been pressed into service as transports. However the simultaneous sailing of the submarines suggests that this may be more than a resupply mission.

BREAKING: BIDEN ADMIN EXTENDS COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY...AGAIN
The Biden administration has yet again extended the Covid-19 public health emergency determination for another 90 days. Since first being announced on January 31, 2020, the public health determination has been renewed ten times already, making this latest extension the 11th. Also extended is the US's vaccine mandate for foreign travelers arriving in the country, which had been extended by the TSA in December through April 10.
... of course, this doesn't apply to the more than 5 million illegal aliens that have crossed the southern border since Biden took office.

Even if there is actually a stalemate between police unions and government, govt will quickly do compromise as it doesn't have the leverage to take on police unions.
