Among the dead was a two-year-old child. On Friday, April 14, the Russians fired eight missiles from the S-300 air defense system into the city.

One of the signs of his return is the strengthening of the role of the Airborne Forces near Bakhmut. Analysts say Teplinskiy is likely to promote the traditional role of the Airborne Forces as an elite force.
Intelligence also notes that Teplinskiy is one of the few Russian generals who is respected among the rank and file military.

Bakhmut and Marinka remain at the epicenter of hostilities. During the day, the Defense Forces repelled more than 60 enemy attacks in the indicated sectors of the front, the General Staff said in the morning report .
The General Staff notes that Russia is suffering daily losses, and this makes itself felt. Thus, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation decided to postpone the start of the educational process for officers in some higher military educational institutions from September 1 to December 1. There is also a decrease in the number of personnel in units trained at the training grounds. This is probably due to the constant dispatch of small groups to the areas of combat operations to make up for the losses of combat units.
Recently, an open letter from PMC Wagner appeared in the information space with an "invitation" to join its ranks of volunteers. It is known that the units of this organization suffered heavy losses during the attack on Bakhmut.
08:14 At night, the Russians launched rocket attacks on the Snigirev community of the Nikolaev region, previously from the S-300 air defense system. In one of the settlements of the community, two teenagers born in 2005 were killed as a result of shelling.

In addition, the enemy launched an airstrike, probably a guided bomb, on a public utility in the Shostka district of the Sumy region. According to preliminary information, one person was injured.
00:17 The authorities of the Russian Federation did not take measures to block the US access to Russian security and intelligence services after the leak of secret Pentagon documents, writes The New York Times, citing two high-ranking US officials. This, they said, was one of the issues that worried the West: they thought the Russians would try to find US sources and try to cut them off. However, a week after the publication of the data, "fears were not justified."
There is also no indication that the Russian command has changed its operations on the ground in Ukraine since the leak. American intelligence agencies have infiltrated the Russian army to such an extent that they are warning Ukraine in real time about airstrikes and even about their specific targets. The documents showed "how much Ukraine's military efforts depend on the United States," the newspaper notes.

[RIA] Young people line up in "corridors of shame" and shout to two very old women walking towards the church: "Suitcase, station, Russia!" The crowd rages and laughs around the praying kneeling woman at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, surrounds her with a dancing ring, mocks, laughs, throws insults in her face. Believers walking with prayer are met by a crowd of youngsters who are trying to start a bloody fight. Two young girls shout curses and the same "suitcase-station", jumping out of their pants and aiming at the face of those who are praying, as if trying to destroy the enemy with spells.
The scenes that began with the Maidan in 2014, where prominences of hatred splashed out from the crowd of "protesters" in the same way, where the militants provoked the police, calling for hand-to-hand combat, have not changed at all. Only now they have moved to the temples. And the faces are the same. Brazen, aggressive girls are exactly the same as those who made Molotov cocktails in Odessa in front of the House of Trade Unions. Review the chronicle. The same mockery, aggression and a feeling of intoxication with their power and the right to destroy. Although at that time there was no talk of Ukraine raging in schism, on the contrary, the majority was sure that this country is full of deeply religious people and that Orthodoxy stands unshakably there.
The question that does not leave you alone and makes you ask yourself again and again: where does it come from in Ukraine? Where, from what depths and abysses did the evil come out, which has now taken root in the crowds, ready to tear everyone to pieces for the pagan chimera of "glory to Ukrainians". Let's be honest - after all, we did not think to what extent Ukrainian society is infected with this ideology. And how dangerous and contagious it is. And then they saw the pagan temples in the premises of the Nazis "Azov"*. So what is it in general, possession or Nazism? And what kind of medicine will help here in principle - denazification or exorcism? And is it possible to confuse the medicines here, or is it better to mix them for fidelity?
The famous psychologist Carl Jung gave a profound answer to this question in one of his interviews: “Under National Socialism, the pressure of demons increased so much that human beings, falling under their power, turned into somnambulistic superhumans, the first among which was Hitler, who infected everyone else with this. All Nazi leaders are possessed in the literal sense of the word, and it is no doubt no coincidence that their propaganda minister was marked with the mark of a demonized man - a limp.
An amazingly accurate observation about the nature and mechanisms of Nazism, partly confirmed by the psychiatric experts of the Nuremberg trials.
More than once or twice it has been noticed that those who came close to the black abyss of Nazi views and crimes often changed themselves. Even experts, protected by special knowledge and experience, professionally working with the topic of violence, crimes, deviations. In the case of Ukraine, the whole country was brought to this abyss.
The experience of studying Nazism teaches that it teaches nothing. It is impossible to change the Nazis, only to punish, but the Nazis always managed to change those who were close to them.
Strange as it may seem, the Nuremberg trials give us a striking example of such intoxication with Nazism. During the tribunal, no one could have imagined that this would end.
Douglas Kelly, who worked as a psychiatrist at the Nuremberg trials, examining criminals and studying their behavior, eventually became a victim of the Nazis: after the process, he committed suicide in the same way as Hermann Goering, taking poison in a capsule. Kelly, who studied the Nazis and tried to understand how they, while remaining medically sane people, could do such evil, unbearable for any person, did not find an answer in the course of his research. The psychiatrist, starting to work, was sure that the Nazis would turn out to be insane, but all experiments, polls, tests confirmed the opposite - the Nazis were quite normal. Moreover, they are able to show tender feelings in relation to a close circle, they can be wonderful husbands, children, parents. Directly without taking off bloody boots and raincoats after their punitive operations.
Kelly's conclusion at the end of the trial was disappointing and easily applicable to anyone. The psychiatrist came to the conclusion that "it is likely that many people in similar circumstances would have stooped to similar behavior." The second expert at the Nuremberg trials, psychiatrist Gustav Gilbert, disagreed with Kelly, regarding the behavior of the Nazis as an exceptional social pathology. He was sure, like Jung, that the Nazis were demon-possessed psychopaths, that we were dealing with a special kind of mental pathology.
The further development of Nazism in Europe , the rise of which we are witnessing right now, showed that both experts were right and wrong.
Kelly wrote: "Nazism is a sociocultural disease. In Nuremberg I had the purest known cultures of the Nazi virus to study - as many as 22 vials. But this can be found in any country - at large tables at which important issues are decided." Absolutely exact words that are applicable to the list of many Western countries. News in confirmation every day we read on the tape.
Twelve years after the trial, having fallen into a deep personal crisis - disappointment in the profession, withdrawal from psychiatry to forensic science, alcoholism, suicidal intentions - Kelly committed suicide, never freed from exposure to Nazism. Then, in Nuremberg, he was delighted with the "courageous act" of Goering, who bit through the ampoule and did not allow himself to be hanged. And - from the point of view of a psychiatrist - thus defeating his judges. Kelly summed up his life in the same way.
Shouting goodbye to the family that "can't do it anymore". As modern experts say, the reason for the tragedy of Kelly is that then psychologists and psychiatrists did not undergo supervision, mandatory constant personal therapy, which would insure them from becoming patients in psychiatric clinics themselves.
All this is also true with society - it must constantly undergo therapy against Nazism. As soon as the daily mass treatment and prevention stops, the disease returns again.
In a dispute between two psychiatrists, we stood for Gilbert’s position for a long time, confident that Nazism in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s was an exceptional phenomenon, a deviation from all human norms, a social mistake that would never happen again. And as victors we are immune from Nazi ideology. And even more so as Soviet people and their descendants, brought up in the spirit of internationalism and humanism, who learned about the monstrous crimes of the Nazis, who themselves fought against Nazism or suffered from it. Those who lost loved ones in the war against Nazism are insensitive to Nazi influence - so we naively thought, having poorly learned the Nuremberg lesson.
To our deepest disappointment, everything turned out quite differently. Nazis rage at churches, demon-possessed pagans enlist in Nazi battalions.
What is the recipe, what to do with it now if it happened? Who to ask for advice?
I suggest - from the greatest psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. It has no statute of limitations, since 1945 it has not become outdated at all.
"Salvation lies only in the peaceful work of educating the individual. This is not as hopeless as it may seem. The power of demons is enormous, and the most modern means of mass suggestion - the press, radio, cinema, etc. - are at their service. Nevertheless, Christianity was forces to defend their positions in the face of an insurmountable adversary, and not by propaganda and mass conversion - this happened later and turned out to be not so significant - but through persuasion from person to person. And this is the path that we also must take if we want to harness the demons. It feels like it was said by a contemporary.
Anticipating the skepticism of readers, the great psychiatrist consoled the journalist who interviewed him in 1945. As if he knew how difficult it would be in the media to discuss this terrible and controversial topic even after almost 80 years.
"It's hard to envy your task to write about these creatures (Nazis. - Approx. Author). I hope you manage to state my views in such a way that people do not find them too strange. Unfortunately, it is my fate that people, especially those who are obsessed They think I'm crazy because I believe in demons. But it's up to them to think so; I know that demons exist. They won't decrease, it's as true as Buchenwald exists."
The experience of studying Nazism gives only one recipe that cannot be overdue: daily work on the prevention of Nazism in any society and with each of its representatives.

Amazing what an overtly Fascist Russia will accuse another country (of untermenschen in their eyes) led by a dark horse candidate Jewish President and Defense Minister.

Let us face fact here. The Soviets committed their share of crimes. In fact, millions more people, many of them Ukrainians, died as a result of Joe Stalin's paranoia and lust for power. The writer here is simply demonizing her enemy for propaganda purposes.
It's no wonder Ukrainians want to be independent and apart from Russians. But it's dirty on both sides. I can't believe that Zelensky is the reincarnation of Adolph Hitler but neither is he the noble champion of democracy that American propaganda portrays him to be. More likely that Zelensky is Joe Biden's puppet and Biden is someone else's puppet.

07:30 Military expert Boris Rozhin on the situation in the Artyomovsky direction:
In the city, the advance of assault groups of PMC "Wagner" continues to the south of the industrial zone of the AZOM plant and in the northwestern quarters. The enemy is being pushed back already in the area of high-rise buildings. Blowing up houses does not help the enemy much in stabilizing the situation.
PMC Wagner is also being promoted in the area of the railway station and in the southwestern quarters. On average, the enemy loses 2-3 quarters per day and several hundred people killed and wounded.
The roads to Artemovsk are still under the fire control of the Airborne Forces and Wagner PMC. The number of destroyed vehicles to the west of the city continues to multiply. Roads are shot through not only by artillery, but also by mortars, as well as ATGMs. The opponent cannot unlock them. The worsening weather makes it difficult for the enemy to take effective counteroffensive actions.
The RF Armed Forces continue to strike at the operational reserves of the enemy in Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, and also habitually process Chasov Yar.

[REGNUM] Another video of the combat work of artillerymen of the Russian Armed Forces showed the words of a veteran of the Iraqi war, mercenary Christopher Perryman , who said that he had to fight "more intensely" in Ukraine than in Iraq. The footage was published in the Telegram channel "Military correspondents of the Russian Spring."
"All units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that have set foot on the territory near the Dnieper come under continuous artillery fire, as Russian drones are constantly reconnaissance of the area," the military correspondents comment on the video, in which Russian artillery shells explode every second in different directions.
As REGNUM reported, according to a mercenary who is participating in the battles for the islands along the Dnieper near Kherson, Russian drones "buzz overhead like giant swamp mosquitoes." Ukrainian positions are under fire when trying to occupy the islands.
"Their artillery crews are damn good. Iraq does not compare to this, it is much more stressful here," Perryman admitted.
The mercenary called his stay in Ukraine one of the most difficult missions. The sorties take place in difficult conditions, because of the shelling from the Russian Armed Forces, you have to be on the alert all the time. The artillery sometimes fires "100 rounds a day," he said.
Earlier, Perryman also spoke about the quality work of Russian artillery and complained that the Ukrainian military needs more air defense systems and high-quality small arms.
Commentary from the Telegram page of brussinf. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] But this ( https://t.me/brussinf ) is very interesting. In the latest report on the offensive of PMC "Wagner" in Artemovsk, you can find out that:
1. The enemy is preparing groupings for a counteroffensive in order to deblockade Artemovsk.
2. Groups are assembled on the Seversky ledge, in the Ray-Aleksandrovka region, in the Konstantinovka region and in the Dzerzhinsk region. The total number of enemy forces in the Artemovsk direction reaches 80,000.
3. Daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk reach 450 people. This makes it difficult to rotate units. The 93rd Brigade could not be taken to the rotation. To hold the city, the 60th Ombre + new cannon fodder from the Volkssturm is also involved.
4. PMC "Wagner" began training mobilized citizens. Now Wagner instructors are training personnel for three new motorized rifle brigades.
[WSJ] A social-media account overseen by a former U.S. Navy noncommissioned officer—a prominent online voice supporting Russia’s war on Ukraine—played a key role in the spread of intelligence documents allegedly leaked by Airman First Class Jack Teixeira, reposting files from obscure online chat rooms.
A purported Russian blogger known as Donbass Devushka, which translates as Donbas Girl, is the face of a network of pro-Kremlin social-media, podcasting, merchandise and fundraising accounts. But the person who hosted podcasts as Donbass Devushka and oversees these accounts is a Washington-state-based former U.S. enlisted aviation electronics technician whose real name is Sarah Bils.
