Goodnight Resisters everywhere

The East is threatened by the S-300.

Regarding Transnistria, the Russian-backed separatists and military commanders are now complaining that the situation is very tense, and the newly elected Prime Minister of Moldova, Dorin Recean, has expressed the need for demilitarization by withdrawing Russian troops and demilitarizing Transnistria. Transnistria is a problem created by the Russians near the border in the 1990s, and it should have been demilitarized and de-occupied long ago. The Russians have turned Transnistria into a large military base with large army depots (Kobasna), etc. By demilitarizing Transnistria, a lot of Russian ammunition and other resources can be taken and used against them, which is what the Russians are complaining about. Of course, this does not guarantee that all of this will be done, and we are not saying that the Armed Forces will demilitarize Transnistria, but we are very pleased with the attitude of the new Moldovan government.

The other part of defending against an enemy attack is the bravery and dedication of our soldiers. We are truly grateful for their courage and commitment.

The main news for today is that Israel launched missile strikes on the Syrian capital at night, Czech Republic did not import any Russian gas for the first time in a month, the first batch of AMX-10RC wheeled tanks will arrive by next weekend, Russia may step up nuclear blackmail to disrupt the US President's visit to Europe, the French Defense Ministry does not rule out training Ukrainian pilots, the EU will meet to solve the problem of ammunition for Ukraine, and finally, Russia is the bottom.

Border guards successfully defended against 10 assaults on the eastern front, with 7 of them occurring in the Bakhmut region. Most of the Russian attacks were thwarted by SBGS mortar launchers and Armed Forces artillery. In the outskirts of Bakhmut, border guards used small arms and grenade launchers to repel the enemy. It is estimated that the enemy suffered 40 fatalities and 37 injuries.

Today, intelligence reports suggest that Russia is attempting to disrupt Joe Biden's upcoming visit to Europe by intensifying nuclear blackmail. Russian media outlets have already released information about a radioactive cargo that was found in the port of Odesa region in the morning. In the evening, we will analyze all the russian narratives surrounding this incident, as well as official data from the military.

Ukrainian intelligence officials have reported that the Russians have put ballistic nuclear missiles launched from ships and land, as well as cruise missiles launched from aircraft, on alert. In particular, two such activities were detected: the operation of the Russian armys centralized control system Monolith was tested, and an additional aviation control center was deployed at the Tambov air base.

At the same time, Russian media has called for the destruction of Ukrainian nuclear power plants instead of ineffective massive shelling. Analysts do not rule out that the Kremlin may take measures with the intention of causing an emergency shutdown of Ukrainian nuclear reactors.

Racists have accused Ukraine of what the world accuses them of and claimed that the Ukrainian authorities are preparing a provocation with the use of radioactive substances. They have released a message on a network of pro-Russian channels that their sources say that several radioactive barrels with the inscription

In schools located in the occupied city of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia, students are required to sing the anthem of the invading country before the start of classes.

According to The Wall Street Journal, approximately 10,000 Ukrainian refugees may become undocumented immigrants in the United States if the government does not adjust its laws to accommodate them. Without such a change, these individuals who arrived in the US after the start of the war will be required to depart.

Maria Sur, an 18-year-old singer from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, has made it to the final of the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest.

This performance caught the attention of a Swedish music label, who offered her the chance to compete in the Swedish Eurovision Song Contest. With her song Never Give Up, Maria was able to make it to the final stage of the selection. On March 11, Stockholm will decide which of the 20 participants will represent Sweden at this year's song contest.
