Emotionally, not diplomatically. But honestly, I'm tired of it.

I understand - all "geniuses" of strategies, tactics, etc. The opinion of some major with 10 years of war experience may not be interesting. But, as always, lives of people and the existence of our state are at stake, so I will try to convey my vision.

Cannot fight head-to-head with the Russian army. And in general, with any army, exchanging direct blows like drunken alcoholics is foolish. Why do we constantly rely on the same mistake?!

Non-technological progress will save us, even if you give a million high-mars - it matters how you use them! Everyone knows the saying "War is sh*t, the main thing is MANEUVER"! Maneuvers will bring victory, dammit. Don't attack head-on on the 5th line of defense, don't throw brigades in the direction of the enemy's main strike! There are more of them, you understand?! Maneuver - strike from the flank, dammit. I wrote about it back in January 23, conclusions were not made. Maybe I'm a fool, but I'll bang my head against this impenetrable wall until I break through! I'm saying it straight - cut off the enemy's advancing forces from the flank! All assault and mechanized units will carry out offensive actions more effectively in a direction where the enemy DOES NOT expect, rather than suffer constant shelling without being able to do anything but buy time. Reread Sun Tzu, remember Clausewitz, recall what the Mongols did to the Great Wall of China, and what the Germans did to the Maginot Line! I'm drawing diagrams right over Avdiivka, because apparently no one understands direct hints! I want my friends to live to see victory, and I want this victory! Maybe finally you will want to achieve it too!

Diplomacy of emotions no longer works. We are forced to acknowledge this, and you had the opportunity to see it from Vilnius to Washington. These emotions are ignored by enemies. And friends no longer hear. So I want to emphasize: stop experimenting with Ukraine!

It is not advisable to make decisions for which no one takes responsibility.

I want to apologize to the GUR when they try to involve you in this dirty provocation. I want to apologize to Germany when someone doubts your ability to ensure the security of the Munich Conference on, listen, security issues.

Today I talked to several experts on air transportation. The topic was one - the situation with air transportation in Russia. European experts say that when assessing the aircraft resource, the wear and tear of parts, as well as the fact that in Russia they could not solve their problem of purchasing spare parts through gray and black schemes, the crash of planes in Russia is only a matter of time. Repairs are mainly carried out at the expense of cannibalization of the Russian aviation fleet, when one aircraft is dismantled in order to repair several broken aircraft. At the same time, repairs are carried out using already used parts, the resource of which is already minimal. But this process will not be eternal, and access to aviation spare parts will not be restored. And the minimum amount of spare parts that Russians manage to buy does not affect the situation. Birdfall is not far off.

So last year the number of aviation accidents in Russia increased by more than two times compared to the year 2022. This was caused by sanctions against the aggressor country, which closed Russia's access to spare parts of Western production. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.

According to the newspaper, based on the research of the German aviation database Jacdec, last year there were 74 incidents with passenger aircraft in Russia with 19 or more seats. In 2022, only 36 such cases were recorded.

"The sanctions imposed on Russian airlines have significantly complicated the maintenance of flightworthiness and technical condition of aircraft. The accumulating problems raise concerns regarding flight safety," - quotes the newspaper the CEO of the Lithuanian aviation consulting company Friendly Avia Support, Alexander Lanetsky.

According to experts, sanctions have had the greatest impact on the availability of chassis and brakes. As a result, Russia had to send its airplanes for maintenance in Iran. In addition, as noted by The Wall Street Journal, a shortage of spare parts for flight simulators has questioned Russia's ability to train new pilots and conduct necessary qualification courses.

Today, another aviation incident occurred in Russia. The Sukhoi Superjet-100 departing from Vnukovo requested an emergency landing at Sheremetyevo due to one of the engines failing.

According to the forecasts of the consulting company Oliver Wyman, by 2026 the aircraft fleet of the aggressor country may be reduced by more than half, and the probability of an aviation disaster will increase to 40%. Flights on Russian planes are starting to resemble Russian roulette.

"This will be a blow to the largest country in the world in terms of territory, where air transportation plays a crucial role in maintaining the economy," underline the authors of the article in The Wall Street Journal.

📊New KMIS survey recorded a decrease in trust towards Zelensky.

After the resignation of Zaluzhny, sociologists recorded a decrease in trust in the authorities. Specifically, trust in the president decreased by 13% (December - 77%, February - 64%). During this same period, distrust in the president also increased by 13% (December - 22%, February - 35%).

The decline in trust is also recorded for Sergey Pritula by 8% (December - 69%, February - 61%) and for Andriy Yermak, whose trust has decreased by 6% (December - 33%, February - 27%).

It seems that Ukrainians have stopped buying into cheap PR and are starting to be more critical, evaluating the performance of officials and public figures.

Instead, trust in the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov increased by 6% (December - 60%, February - 66%) and in Petro Poroshenko by 4% (December - 27%, February - 31%).

Interestingly, currently Poroshenko is trusted more than the number of votes he received in the second round of the 2019 elections. This is a positive trend for a politician who leads the largest opposition party, which may be a reaction to the government's constant attempts to limit the opposition.

⛓️The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained a traitor who wanted to hand over Ukraine's latest developments in the field of military shipbuilding to the special services of Russia and Iran.

As a result of a multi-level special operation in Mykolaiv, an engineer-designer of a strategic enterprise of Ukroboronprom was caught red-handed.

The officer secretly copied and attempted to leak technical documentation on Ukrainian secret developments to foreign special services.

According to the counterintelligence of the SBU, the criminal was supposed to provide information to two clients at once. The first one is a Russian who works at one of the RF's machine-building plants and collaborates with the special services of the aggressor country.

Another customer of intelligence information turned out to be a citizen of Iran, who had previously been convicted of espionage in Ukraine.

Both foreigners acted separately from each other, and they maintained contact with the Ukrainian engineer-traitor through anonymous chats in the messenger.

According to available information, foreign special services expected to receive Ukraine's latest developments for setting up serial production of their own military ship components.

Putin gave another interview (to his propapagandist), where he explained what he meant when he spoke with American showman Carlson.

When you have to explain for the second time what you meant - that's a sign that the interview didn't go as expected by the Kremlin. Indeed, it didn't receive a clear assessment (especially among Republican circles).

This time Putin couldn't resist - and went down in history, talking about Jewish pogroms that took place "on the territory of present-day Ukraine" from which Blinken's grandfather escaped. He also dedicated a separate response to Annalena Berbock, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, whose grandfather served in the Wehrmacht. Allegedly, we need to discuss where fascism is more prevalent and how to fight it.

Also, "playing into Trump's hands" was performed. Putin praised Biden and said he is more predictable and "from the old elite". This is an old technique - to praise a competitor in order to knock them out of the game. (There is no doubt that this was a "pass" to Trump. He didn't even think for long and gave his reaction, as if saying, what did I say? Biden is more comfortable for Russia and he will "give them everything, including Ukraine, as a gift").

Strange, but this time Putin didn't talk about negotiations. Instead, he mocked the West, the "Anglo-Saxons," and personally Johnson, whom he portrayed as a puppet of the States.

All the rest was standard. "We didn't start," "wanted to finish," "The West constantly eats us..."

Summing up all this talk, there is a feeling that in the Kremlin they really consider the West weak. This is what I have repeatedly said to foreign politicians and analysts. Putin understands only strength. Everything else - sanctions, restrictions, and postponement of decisions - he perceives as weakness. And if he is not convinced otherwise, there is no doubt that he will only raise the stakes. (c) Viktor Shlinchak

- What awaits us there in the near future in Avdiivka? Will the transfer of reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Avdiivka area help?

- The first steps of the new head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrskyi. What tasks were set before the Head?

- Petro Poroshenko was not allowed to leave Ukraine for a diplomatic trip abroad. Why? What is the real reason? Is it due to Zelensky's personal dislike for Poroshenko? How will the West react?

- Freedom of speech in Ukraine. Why does the government try to silence even those who provide constructive criticism? When will the persecution of journalists and pressure on the opposition end?

Special services keep an eye on Petr Poroshenko every time he brings crucial Ukrainian defenders' equipment to the front line for the combat units.

So, on January 19, 2024, Poroshenko's team identified suspicious individuals who were monitoring the group. One of them couldn't answer why they were keeping an eye on the leader of the "European Solidarity".

This is not the first and, it seems, far from the last time of illegal surveillance of the Ukrainian opposition leader.

Unknown people accompany Poroshenko on practically all trips to the front. Eventually, it was possible to find out that representatives of special services are following the fifth president of Ukraine.

Recently it became known that the special services are monitoring not only politicians but also journalists, as evidenced by the investigation of the Bihus.Info team.

And for this, Ukrainians pay billions of hryvnias out of their own pockets, so that during the war, on orders from government cabinets, special services would spend resources not to counter Russian aggression, but to illegally monitor the leader and members of the opposition and Ukrainian journalists.

Reading the post by Yuriy Butusov and disagreeing with his proposal, even understanding his motives. Let me explain why. But first, Yuriy's post:

Gentlemen Zelensky, Sirsky, Umerov, you have nothing to do in Kyiv today. Your place is at the command posts of the brigades, where tasks are assigned in Avdiivka. It is precisely there that the fate of many good people is being decided now.

You must give orders looking in the eyes.

You have to listen to real reports without your rose-colored glasses and without lies, with which you surround yourself. You allow yourself to lie about the "tense-controlled situation," and you need to see how you look in the eyes of people who receive orders.

You and some other leaders have created a situation with your decisions that the fighters are now having to deal with. It's not up to you to go into battle, but you do not have the right to sit back in cozy offices; you should watch how the crisis caused by your decisions and your lack of action is being resolved. You should at least learn something and finally draw conclusions.

To all evaders of responsibility at higher levels, I want to say - do not think that they will keep silent about you.. (c) Yuriy Butusov

Emotionally everything is clear, but I still do not agree with Yuriy Butusov. Let me explain why.

1. Сирський - SirskyThe General has nothing to do there. He must understand the operational situation and know all the information about the situation in Avdiivka while being at the General Staff Headquarters in Kyiv. Otherwise, why do we need the whole reporting system and reports through the chain of command? Does he not trust it? If the General is killed, it will be a powerful blow to the command and control system of the Armed Forces. And this must be taken into account. Can the General visit such positions? Yes, in extremely exceptional cases, when his presence affects the morale of the troops or in similar situations, but in the case of Suhovsky, it is not the case, for many reasons. A general next to soldiers is a Soviet standard. Grandiose, but not effective. A general is management. The loss of a general is a blow to the management system, which can lead to a catastrophe. If someone lies in reports on the operational situation - to the tribunal. That's it.

2. Умеров - Umerov. A civilian without any understanding of military operations, without military experience or specialized education. What is he doing there? There is no benefit in Avdiivka from him, like milk from a cat. He is an administrator. A manager. So let him mind his own business, especially since there are enough problems in the Armed Forces. It's better for him to be involved in providing for the Armed Forces rather than being the fifth wheel in this situation.

3. Зеленський - ZelenskyThe arrival of the president in Avdiivka, known for his love of simple solutions leading to major problems, will not help the situation. And he can take pompous photos not only there. Furthermore, the president's demise will lead to problems in the country's governance that the Kremlin can take advantage of. I am not a sympathizer of Zelensky, but such actions have a more negative effect overall, except for the PR component. And advice and experience from Zelensky, as a hypothetical military, as a tactician, as a strategist, and as a person without a specialized education, will rather cause harm than benefit. Although this is also understandable.

Therefore, emotionally I can understand Butusov's post. But rationally... Rationally, we need to either cut off the Russian claws around Avdiivka or withdraw our soldiers from there to new prepared defense lines if there are no resources to cut off the claws. We shouldn't throw reserves there, but rather save our soldiers, of whom we do not have many.

I hope that nobody wants to create a fortress in Avdiivka, not even for the sake of promoting Yermak's PR manager, Dasha Zarivna, talking about "successful communication cases in Bakhmut". The defense of Avdiivka is a political decision today, which has no real strategic justification. Everything can be justified, but we need to be pragmatists and care about the lives of our soldiers. Moreover, Sircsky himself mentioned it. And it's good if his words don't contradict his actions.

The situation on the Avdiivka direction is very difficult, the occupiers are advancing in numbers that significantly exceed the Defense Forces reported spokesman of the Third Separate Assault Brigade Borodin.

The situation is very difficult. The Russians are currently advancing. They are advancing in a quantity that significantly exceeds. It can be stated that this is one to seven. There is a constant advance in different areas. These are two [Russian] armies that are advancing there. About seven brigades. At the moment, we are carrying out the order to hold [positions], - he said.

Borodin said that Ukrainian defenders on the front recently reached a record in destroying enemy personnel per day for this year.

However, he noted, the situation is difficult as regular army and special forces from the main intelligence directorate of the Russian Federation are fighting on the front line.

Very difficult. If we work in proportion to the forces and means - one to seven, you can imagine - summed up the spokesman of the 3rd OSHB.

Today, on February 15th, in the brigade, it was officially confirmed that the reinforcement was urgently transferred to the Avdiivka area to strengthen the Ukrainian garrison. According to the military, at the time of the brigade's arrival in the city, the situation there was "extremely critical."

I held several preparatory meetings today before our international activity. Now I'm on my way.

Scheduled important meetings with partners. New agreements. We are doing everything to make them strong for Ukraine and I am confident that it will be exactly like that. We are creating a new security architecture for our state, which will help not only here and now, but also in the long term. And this is something that Ukraine has never had, although it has always been necessary.

Thank you to everyone who fights and works for our state and people! Thank you to everyone who helps us!

Avdiivka may be captured by the Russians due to a lack of artillery shells in the AF, warned coordinator of the White House National Security Council Kirby.

Unfortunately, Ukrainians report that the situation is critical. Russians continue to press on Ukrainian positions every day. Avdiivka may fall under Russian control. To a large extent, this is happening because the Ukrainian forces on the ground are running out of artillery ammunition, - Kirby noted.

He called on the House of Representatives to approve additional funding for Ukraine as soon as possible because otherwiseWhat is happening in Avdiivka right now can easily happen in other places on the front..

The Russians continue to recruit mercenaries in Africa and Asia, reports the Center for National Resistance.

The CNS reported that the preparation of foreign mercenaries, who are then sent to Ukraine, continues on the territory of the Russian Federation. Russians promise them a salary ranging from $2000 to $4000, but actually pay only a few hundred dollars as provision.

Russian special services actively recruit citizens of Syria, Nepal, Afghanistan, India, Congo, Egypt, and countries of Central Asia.

In general, Russians use them to storm Ukrainian positions.
