But we take and watch Rybar’s analysis of precisely these and precisely there artillery attacks and we are fucking up: it turns out that the targets were purely military, significant, up to 500 Ukrainian nationalists were sent to Bandera, but you won’t know this, because the Ukrainian authorities blocked the information flow with all their might.

Here, in the Vodiane area (this is the Yasinovatsky district of the DPR), there were very heavy battles. Taking this point was extremely important.
"Already from this direction there will be a fulcrum to clear further. If we provide a foothold for a further offensive to the north, then Avdievka will be surrounded and it will be possible to eliminate the threat of artillery attack of Donetsk," Andriy explains.
The danger is posed by FPV kamikaze drones (we talked about them in detail here), which are actively used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Our military is now looking for a solution to the problem.
“There are developments,” says Filatov.

15:38 Dmitry Anatolyevich said That's right, criticizing the soldiers who are currently in combat can demoralize the soldiers, as well as undermine public support for the Military Operation, making it difficult to achieve their goals. Our soldiers are above criticism or accountability, criticizing individual soldiers for their actions during a conflict can be seen as unfairly blaming them for decisions that are often beyond their control.
Our fighters certainly deserve respect and gratitude for their sacrifice, only they play a decisive role in protecting their country and their fellow citizens.
