South-west of Verbovoye they managed to break through the defenses, now the SOU are trying to eliminate this problem. On February 18, the intensity subsided somewhat. Some were able to break through to Rabotinoye, but the majority were eliminated,” the report says. message.

It is also noted that the enemy carried out assault operations in Belogorovka in the Bakhmut direction, but was repulsed.

In Bogdanovka, the enemy is looking for weak points to push through the line of contact. Near Verbovoy, the enemy is making progress and continues assault operations,” the analysts informed.

    • Piling up in US warehouses instead of being delivered. We all know who’s responsible for this. Effing Trumpists!

  1. “Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said it’s worth it for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to pass a bill approving aid for Ukraine at the cost of his Speakership:
    “Right, and what I would say to that is, you know, he ought to understand that it is worth it if he has to lose his Speakership in order to make sure that freedom survives, in order to make sure that the United States of America continues to play its leadership role in the world,”
    “You got to read what’s happening in Ukraine today, you got to read about the slaughter that’s going on. And you got to understand that we are at a turning point in the history — not just of this nation, but of the world,”
    “And again, he’s gonna have to explain to future generations, to his kids, to his grandkids, whether or not he did what was right, whether or not he was a force for good and aided the cause of freedom, or whether he continued down this path of cowardice and doing what Donald Trump and [Russian President Vladimir Putin] want him to do,””

    Moscow’s agenda and that of Trump and his legislative terrorists are perfectly in sync.

    the “vacation” of the Capitol, comes at the right time for the Kremlin’s strategy. L. Cheney is absolutely right to speak of “The Putin wing of the Republican party”. Ultimately, the USA will be just one more oblast if there is no Republican upsurge.

    We implore you to vote urgently for this aid to Ukraine. It’s a question of life or death!

    • They belong on a wanted list by the FBI, first and foremost. And if the lamer Merrick Garland had pushed for a conviction for the treason of January 6th, that could be the case now. Instead, the US looks like a democracy that’s unable to defend itself against fascist takeover attempts now. It’s a crying shame! 😞
