#2  Daily Mail, where America gets it's propaganda.
Look at the selection of descriptive words used in western media, massacre, catastrophic losses. The reporting is managed for public dissemination. Review of legionnaires vs Wagner forces patriots vs criminals. Z cannot entertain negotiations. To do so would be suicide. The west has given him his orders. Then we have Macron who has infuriated China. Treated with the best of everything insulted China. China has done nothing to cause concern with EU. Proceed with threats to harm a strong friendly relationship China currently has with Russia. The harm you cause is by your own efforts. The future relations between China and the EU looks to go badly every day. The puppet master Biden pulls the EU strings and China is very much aware of his control.

#1  FEb 18, 2023: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday unexpectedly promoted Rustam Muradov to the rank of commander of the Eastern Military District
According to Putin’s decree, 50-year-old Muradov, holder of the Order of Courage and holder of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, 3 degrees, was awarded rank of colonel general, writes The Moscow Times. Muradov’s promotion became known a week after the major defeat... near Ugledar, where two elite marine brigades and about 100 pieces of equipment were almost completely destroyed... Muradov was sharply criticized by the Wagner PMC’s unofficial telegram channel Gray Zone, which threatened to “two hundred” the general, who was allegedly holed up in headquarters, leaving one column after another to be slaughtered.
