But the situation remains very difficult, said Alexander Syrsky, Commander of the Ground Forces. "We understand the tactical significance of Bakhmut for the enemy and we know his plans for actions in other sectors of the front. The defense forces are now continuing to defend the city.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, on March 11, it is planned to organize a television and radio bridge and broadcast live from the scene for Russian propaganda media.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, several groups of Russians are arriving in Belarus. Probably, the plans of the occupiers imply a threat of destruction of infrastructure facilities and possible casualties among the civilian population.

16:47 Lithuanian intelligence believes that Russia can conduct active hostilities in Ukraine for another two years, said Elegius Paulavičius, director of the Department of Operational Services under the country's Ministry of Defense. And although we are not talking about the quality of resources, the old technology also causes great harm. In addition, there are more Russian military now than at the beginning of the war, he added. "Therefore, comprehensive military, political and economic assistance to Ukraine will remain vital to achieve victory," Paulavičius stressed.

16:19 If Russia does not announce forced mobilization, its army will find it increasingly difficult to maintain the level of offensive operations, said the head of US National Intelligence, Avril Haynes. According to her, the main task of the Russian army in eastern Ukraine may be to hold the occupied territories. "We do not foresee that this year the Russian army will recover sufficiently to achieve major territorial gains."

15:28 The Kremlin does not believe in the version of the "Ukrainian trace" in the sabotage on the Nord Streams, Peskov said: "As for some pro-Ukrainian" Dr. Evil ", who organized all this, it's hard to believe it. It was too a difficult task, which was probably on the shoulder of a well-trained state special service, of which there are not so many in our world."

Peskov also drew attention to the “synchronous release” of world media publications on this topic: “You see that the Anglo-Saxons, whom we talked about from the very beginning, are fussing. They obviously have a lot of awkwardness because of this terrorist attack in relations with the Germans, this is obvious ".

Schroth added that Poland intends to transfer the planes "to some kind of broader, international coalition."

14:23 Massive night attack by Russians using daggers testifies to the enemy's intention to find new strike tactics, Natalia Gumenyuk, speaker of OK Pivden, said. According to her, the Russian troops were looking for options on how to confuse the Ukrainian forces with their actions. For example, before a massive missile attack, they brought all the carriers to their bases, and before that, the "muscle game in the sea" continued for a long time.

As for the large number of daggers issued, according to Gumenyuk, in this way the Russians are trying to put pressure on Ukraine: “They want to demonstrate that they can afford to use other types of weapons, that is, not only those that have already become familiar to us. Again back to looking for new tactics."

13:56 The SBU called the statement of the "MGB of Pridnestrovie" about the alleged participation of Ukraine in the preparation of the terrorist act a provocation: "Any statements by representatives of the so-called "Ministry of State Security" of the fake "Pridnestrovian People's Republic" about the participation of the SBU in the preparation of the terrorist attack should be considered solely as a provocation orchestrated in Kremlin". The department said that behind the spread of such statements is Russia's goal to undermine the situation in the territory, which is actually occupied and controlled by it, blaming Ukraine for this.

13:42 Since September 24, 2022, when the military intelligence of Ukraine began using the "people's satellite" ICEYE, employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense conducted space radar reconnaissance of almost a thousand areas where Russian units are located in temporarily occupied and other territories.

13:18 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that in response to "terrorist actions" in the Bryansk region, the RF Armed Forces inflicted a "massive retaliation strike" on Ukraine , during which, in particular, hypersonic Kinzhal missiles were used. According to the RF Ministry of Defense, as a result of the strike, "key elements of the military infrastructure of Ukraine, enterprises of the military-industrial complex, as well as energy facilities that provide them" were allegedly hit. The goal of the strike was achieved, all designated objects were hit, the ministry said.

In addition, as a result of the strike, the places where attack drones were based were allegedly destroyed, "the transfer of reserves and rail transportation of foreign weapons was disrupted, and facilities for the repair of military equipment and the production of ammunition" were put out of action.

13:07 EU defense ministers at yesterday's meeting in Stockholm agreed to speed up the supply of artillery shells and buy more ammunition to help Ukraine, but it remains to be decided how these plans will be implemented, Borrell said. According to the plan, EU countries will receive financial incentives of 1 billion euros to send more artillery shells to Ukraine, and another 1 billion euros will go to the joint purchase of new shells.

"We have reached a general agreement on this procedure, but there are issues that have not yet been resolved. Everything should be discussed in detail," Borrell said. He expressed hope that the plan would be finally agreed upon at a meeting of EU foreign and defense ministers on 20 March.

12:58 Poland has sent ten more Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine in addition to the four already received, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said. He also added that the Ukrainian military had completed training on these tanks.

12:42 Russia today's attack did not achieve its main goals: the Ukrainian energy system is working, it has not been extinguished, has not collapsed, said Volodymyr Kudrytsky, chairman of the board of NPC Ukrenergo. At the same time, he added that in many regions there is damage to energy infrastructure facilities, which is why electricity supply is limited in some areas.

12:17 The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, announced the need to take responsibility for the safety of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant after another blackout of the station. He emphasized that this is already the sixth case when the Zaporizhzhya NPP loses external power supply and is forced to work in emergency mode: “This cannot continue. I am amazed at the complacency - what are we doing to prevent this from happening? "Every time we roll the die. And if we let it go on, one day our luck will run out."

Grossi urged the IAEA staff to commit themselves to protecting the safety of the ZNPP right now: "We need action. I will continue urgent consultations and contacts."

12:04 Slovak Defense Minister Yaroslav Nagy said that Poland agreed to the joint transfer of the MiG-29 to Ukraine and the time had come for the Slovak government to make a decision: "I think it's time to make a decision. People are dying in Ukraine, we can really help them, there is no place for the Slovak politicization. This is inhuman and irresponsible."

11:38 During the morning missile attack on the Kharkiv region, the enemy used the tactics of repeated strikes to defeat the units of the State Emergency Service and power engineers, said Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA. He added that there were no casualties as a result of these strikes. So far, residents of Kharkov and some settlements of Kharkov, Bogodukhovsky and Chuguevsky districts of the region remain without electricity.

11:36 Commander of the ground forces Alexander Syrsky said that the relevance of the defense of Bakhmut is constantly growing: "Every day of defending the city allows us to gain time to prepare reserves and prepare for the upcoming offensive operations. At the same time, in the battles for this fortress, the enemy loses the most prepared and combat-ready part of his army - Wagner's assault detachments.

11:21 The "Ministry of State Security" of the unrecognized Transnistria announced the prevention of an "assassination attempt" on the "PMR leader" Vadim Krasnoselsky, which was allegedly prepared on the instructions of the SBU.
