warnews247.gr | "The losses of the Ukrainian Army cannot be made up for" | "The battle for the Ukrainians has been lost and the war has already been decided," retired US Army Special Forces and Marines Colonel Richard Black pointed out in a double intervention. ● As he pointed out during a conference of the Schiller Institute, the battle in Artyomovsk is catastrophic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine without taking into account the fourfold increase in the troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by the beginning of 2023. 💬 "Ukrainian troops are being thrown into a death trap in Bakhmut by the thousands and it seems that they have no solution. Russia wins in Bakhmut, Ukraine loses and this shows that this is becoming a major strategic development of the war," the colonel said. Black noted that the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers is staggering and the country's population will not allow the losses in manpower to be made up for. The conflict is lost, the colonel concluded. ● Elsewhere the US Colonel states: 💬 "I would simply say to the Ukrainians 'be careful because if you think things have been bad up to this point, you're going to see something that is far beyond anything you've imagined up to this point." ● They are losing 500 to 700 soldiers a day! Ukraine is losing more men a day in Bakhmut (alone) than the United States lost in a month during the Vietnam War. And Ukraine has a smaller population than the United States!" (DeepL.com)

warnews247.gr | VIDEOS |Crash of the Ukrainian elite forces in Bakhmut: The Russians finished off the OPFOR Battalion and the 93rd Brigade | All available strategic reserves are being transferred by the Ukrainian military command to Bakhmut after the defeat of the OPFOR elite forces and the withdrawal of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade. ● The Russians are dangerously tightening the noose around the Ukrainian Army: Outside the town of Bakhmut, fierce fighting is taking place in Prigodno, Opytne and Kleeshevka. The outcome of the battles in these three areas will allow the Russian Army to launch a simultaneous attack from 3 directions and cut off the supply route of the Ukrainian forces from the west as well. ● Inside the city, fierce urban fighting is taking place on the eastern side with the Russian Army trying to penetrate deeper into the residential area next to the Industrial Zone while the Ukrainians try to push them back. ● Sources in the Wagner forces report that there is a further advance of their forces along Fedor Maksimenko Street towards the southern part of Artemovsk (Bahmut ). The Wagnerites have taken control of two city blocks near petrol stations in the east of the city. In this context, the Ukrainians are reinforcing their forces by transferring two more brigades, the 4th from Kiev and the 46th from Poltava. Both are part of Kiev's strategic reserves. ● At the same time, the Ukrainian command is removing the 93rd brigade, which has almost ceased to exist. What is left of this formation is transferred to the permanent deployment point in the village of Cherkasy in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The 93rd Brigade "absorbed" all the Russian artillery fire. ● The videos of the fighting in Bakhmut are shocking. Ukrainian forces are trying to escape through a hell of fire with Russian shells bursting around them. Another Ukrainian group has been trapped inside a building and are fighting to the end. ● The 214th OPFOR battalion was created with the support of NATO. The training of the soldiers of this unit was carried out by foreign military personnel. The preparation was carried out according to the standards of the North Atlantic Alliance armies. The most experienced and combat-ready soldiers of the Ukrainian army joined the battalion. The Ukrainian leadership was forced to throw these elite forces into battle after the colossal losses of other units. According to various estimates, the Ukrainian Army is losing one battalion a day. "It is already known that many soldiers of the 214 OPFOR battalion were captured. Some of them were forced to surrender, but there are also those who preferred life in Russian captivity to death in the trenches. ● The 214 OPFOR battalion is on the verge of total annihilation. At best, its soldiers will be captured. But there is a very high probability that they will meet a tragic death in Bakhmut's 'meat machine'," Russian military sources say. (Trans.: www.DeepL.com/)

On the eve it became known that S-400 and Iskander systems passed by Russia were put on combat duty in Belarus. During the air of the socio-political talk show "Budni" on the "Alpha Radio" political analyst Vadzim Borovik explained why our country needs such armament. | The expert explained that the perimeter of the borders of Belarus is concentrated by the neighboring countries with quite serious armed forces, which have strong technical equipment: 💬 Our country should be able to respond in case of escalation. Belarus thinks about its sovereignty and security and therefore raises questions about the technical reinforcement of the Armed Forces. [Vadim Borovik reminded that previously the Presidents of Belarus and Russia had discussed the supply of weapons:] 💬 It is worth understanding that without Russia's military and technical support it will be difficult for our country. The Russian leader made a promise to Alexander Lukashenko to give him certain weapons. By the way, our country has been training personnel to operate S-400 and Iskander complexes. Belarusian pilots will also be qualified to carry special weapons on board aircraft. [The political scientist points out that the potential adversary of our country should understand: any aggression towards Belarus will be met with an asymmetrical response:] 💬 Belarus does not aim to escalate and involve other countries in the conflict. However, we must be ready to respond effectively at any moment and with minimal loss of life. (Translation: DeepL.com/)(MORE)

Ludmila Gladkaya. SB (Людмила Гладкая. СБ) | Spy network disguised as human rights volunteers uncovered by officers of the Interior Ministry's Main Directorate for Combating Organised Crime | Volunteers? Rats! or How foreign agents work. A network disguised as a volunteer human rights organization "Human Constant" was disclosed in Minsk by officers of the Main Department for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The United States is practically holding over 60 Russians hostage by arresting people on false charges and sentencing them to dozens of years in prison, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told Sputnik on Tuesday. 💬 "The US authorities have been literally hunting Russians across the globe especially in countries that have bilateral treaties on extradition with the US, seeking the arrest of our citizens on false charges... The overall number of Russian citizens basically held hostage exceeds 60," the deputy minister said. ● Vershinin said that US courts sentence Russians to dozens of years in prison, with the tendency becoming even stronger under the current US administration amid rising political tensions between the two countries. The senior Russian diplomat also urged Russian people to weigh up the risks they could face when traveling to unfriendly countries if there is even the "slightest suspicion" that they could be of specific interest to US secret services and law enforcement as Russians are presumed guilty in this country.

The Thule Air Base was commissioned during the Cold War in the early Fifties and plays a key role in the US military's ability to detect and provide early warnings for potential ballistic missile attacks. Coupled with promised upgrades of the base, the massive maintenance contract indicates the US’ newfound strategic commitment to the Arctic. | The US has invested billions in a new maintenance contract for the Thule Air Base located on the edge of Greenland. The massive 12-year contract announced by the US Department of Defense is worth $3.95Bln and puts the maintenance of the world’s northernmost air base in the hands of a newly established company, which is majority Greenlandic/Danish-owned.

CJ Hopkins | The point is, the Covidian Cultists were all hypnotized! No one was threatening or gaslighting the masses! The poor confused things were doing it to themselves! | Well, it has been quite a year, 2022. I’m officially dubbing it “The Year of the Gaslighter.” I was going to dub it “The Year of the Mother of All Mindfucking Global-Capitalist Gaslighters,” but that seemed like a mouthful, so I’m opting for brevity. ● Seriously, if there were an Olympics of Gaslighting, GloboCap (i.e., the global corporatocracy) would take the gold in every event. At this point, the majority of the global masses have been successfully gaslighted into a semi-conscious, quasi-cyclothymic state in which they oscillate, on a moment-by-moment basis, between robotic obedience and impotent rage. Those who are not still walking around in their masks and prophylactic face shields and injecting themselves with experimental “vaccines” for reasons they no longer even pretend to be able to articulate without gibbering like imbeciles are genuflecting at the feet of an oligarch huckster who they believe has come to deliver them from Wokeness. ● If you were GloboCap, and in the process of imposing your new official ideology on the entire planet in a kind of global Gleichschaltung op, and otherwise establishing your “New Normal Reich,” and you needed the masses confused and compliant, you couldn’t ask for much more from your Gaslighting Division! ● The gaslighting got underway in January, when the corporate media, health authorities, and other major organs of the New Normal Reich started suddenly “discovering” that the official Covid narrative was “inaccurate,” or, you know, a bunch of lies. ● A series of limited hangouts ensued. Suddenly, it appeared that the “Covid case” and “Covid death” statistics were inaccurate, or inflated, or had been fabricated. The “vaccines” didn’t work. They were killing people. Lockdowns had been a “serious mistake.” And so on.
