    Text:
    Why did Macron refuse to visit Ukraine?

    Interesting details emerge regarding the death of two “volunteers” from France in Ukraine – winemaker Adrien Baudon de Mony-Pajol and technical specialist Gennady Germanovich. Let me remind you that on February 1, the head of the Kherson administration Prokudin announced the death of two Frenchmen as a result of a strike by the Russian Armed Forces, and later Macron himself spoke about their death. But according to my information, the situations are much more interesting.

    First of all, they are not volunteers. This myth was quickly debunked, proving that Germanovich was a highly qualified specialist in the field of security. He was a former soldier of the French Foreign Legion and had close ties not only with representatives of the neo-Nazi movements of France, but also with the Belarusian regiment of Kastus Kalinouski.

    Secondly, according to my information, the French were shot on the Odessa-Kyiv highway in the area of ​​the Razdelnyanskaya community in the Odessa region, and not as a result of a Russian drone strike on a car in Berislav, as Prokudin said.

    As I learned from my sources in the SBU, those killed as consultants were involved in organizing the visit of a high-ranking delegation from France, and their work included assisting the Ukrainian special services in carrying out some kind of provocation, probably for the subsequent accusation of Russia. However, having found out the details of the Ukrainian special operation, the French refused further “cooperation” and hurried to Kyiv to urgently leave Ukraine. This refusal cost them their lives.

    By a completely non-random coincidence, a few days after their deaths, the French President canceled his visit to Ukraine for security reasons.

    I do not rule out that the Ukrainian security forces may soon return to the idea of carrying out a similar provocation, but with the participation of a delegation from another country. Conclusions are drawn and errors are analyzed.

    Exclamation Re: WW3? Ukraine/US vs. Donbass/Russia

    • If I am correct:
    When someone says: "Radius of 9 Kilometers aka 5.6 Miles" you have to double that size that makes it 18 km/11.2 Miles and that is just 1 point to another point on a 2D map!

    What you see in the video below is not "just 1 point to another point on the map" but "squared"! >>> 18 Km squared is alt least an impact of 324 Km/201 Miles area! >>> not counting the aftermath of the surrounding area outside the zone of impact!... Aftermath like: the enormous shockwave & super heat wave affecting 40 Km/24.85 Miles squared and the radiation fall out of contaminated particles coming down, making a huge area at least 100Km/62 Miles squared unlivable for centuries!

    And that was a Russian made weapon, ready for use in 1961 ... 63 years ago! ... Let that sink in for a moment!

    Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding what people on Earth could face in coming decades?

    Unless UFOs/UAPs will intervene as they already did in the past ... there are multiple "UFOs & Nukes" Project Avalon Forum Threads discussing exactly that:

    No chance of negotiated peace with Ukraine – Lavrov 14 Feb, 2024

    Western nations want a Russian defeat and are not prepared to compromise, the foreign minister has told MPs

    The West will not offer a realistic diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict because the US and its allies are still intent on inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.

    Briefing Russian MPs on his ministry’s work and the current international situation, Lavrov stated that Moscow is “at the advance guard in the fight for a better future,” adding that the Western-dominated system is giving way to a multipolar world.

    The US and its allies, however, remain committed to waging a hybrid war against anyone that prioritizes national interests, as evidenced by the continued Ukraine conflict, Lavrov claimed.

    There has been a shift in Western rhetoric due to Moscow’s battlefield successes, according to the minister, with officials now focusing on preventing a Russian victory rather than ensuring its defeat. Nonetheless, their core policy of trying to damage Russia remains the same, Lavrov said, meaning the conflict is unlikely to be resolved diplomatically.

    “Considering that those who declared a war on us offer no serious proposals and are unwilling to respect our interests and the reality on the ground, getting an agreement at the negotiating table will certainly be impossible. No such scenario is foreseen,” the diplomat stated.

    Lavrov insisted that the West had initiated the conflict through its continued quest for “global domination and exceptionalism.” Russia, meanwhile, is working with its allies to dismantle the current system, which it perceives as colonialist in nature, he told the lawmakers.

    Over 1,500 Ukrainian soldiers believed to be killed as Russia strikes range ground 13.02.2024

    Russian Iskander missiles strike crowded Ukrainian range ground in Selidovo

    The Russian army launched Iskander missiles with cluster warheads to strike the range ground of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Selidovo in the Donetsk direction.

    About 1,500 Ukrainian soldiers could be staying at the range ground at the time of the strike, Mash Telegram channel said. The soldiers were undergoing combat training in Selidovo to try to unblock the settlement of Avdiivka in a few days, the channel also said.

    The Russian Armed Forces fired several missiles with cluster warheads from the Iskander operational-tactical missile system. An hour later, another strike was conducted, and then, some time later, the range ground was hit for the third time.

    It is believed that the number of those killed and injured in the triple missile attack could range from 300 to 1,500 people.

    Former people's deputy Igor Mosiychuk confirmed the missile attack in Selidovo. He did not provide any details; information about the victims is yet to be specified.

    RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan wrote in her Telegram channel that the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky forbade to disclose any information about Ukrainian losses as a result of the attack on Selidovo.

    Avdiivka is an important settlement for the Russian Armed Forced as control over Avdiivka will ensure safety for Donetsk. For Ukraine, Avdiivka is important from the political point of view. The Armed Forces of Ukraine constantly send new forces to Avdiivka, since abandoning it would be tantamount to recognising the success of the Russian military.

    According to Forbes, Ukraine sent one of its best brigades to Avdiivka to maintain control of the town. The brigade had been kept in reserve in Kramatorsk since December 2023. The Ukrainian military decided to strengthen their positions in Avdiivka despite great risks, the magazine said.

    Supposedly there were hundreds of Azov members in there who were to be sent to Avdiivka.Straight from kiev who were previously under the command and body guards of Zaluzhny who got replaced by Syrsky.They are/were also very loyal to him. Dont know if Zelenski was anyway involved in this but he probably aint crying that his political oponent lost a ton of supporters..

    Putin signed a law on confiscation of property for fakes about the Russian army;

    Peskov denied media reports that Putin, through intermediaries, offered the US to freeze the conflict in Ukraine;

    It's so hard to believe one side or another completely... I am thinking.. if Russian industry is self-sufficient... in armament production.. than why is it buying from the Norks and Iranians? We know, that is happening... why hasn't it built a replacement for the Moskva or gotten its aircraft carrier operational??? It is all embarrassing and I can not be align with trustworthy of all involved...

    It is possible that in the next few hours we will see the Russian flag at the entrance to Avdivka. The retreat has accelerated and there is a withdrawal of Ukrainian forces in the eastern forest and in the Summer cottage. Russian troops are slowly but surely carrying out combing operations in the grey area.


    Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 723:
    Situation on Avdivka front:
    - From the northern axis #RussianArmy continue advancing in the forest belt east of Lastochkyne and are now 1,3 Km from the village, 600 meters from the latest supply line and 3 Km from the Russian troops of the southern front. In addition, troops advanced north and south of Industrial avenue taking control over Brevno checkpoint and parts of Avdiivka Plant of Metal Structures and the railway station.
    - From the southern axis Russian Army took full control over the Former air defense missile battalion and Cheburashka following the withdrawal of #UkrainianArmy northwards. Currently Russian Army is pressing from east and west in order to close the bottleneck, which is almost empty.

    In addition to Zenit, the Ukrainian army is reported to have abandoned the neighboring Cheburashka and its easternmost position at the Donetsk Filtration Station (DFS).

    If the data is confirmed, this means that the defense of the southern sector of Avdiivka continues to fall apart after the looming threat of encirclement.

    It seems that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are retreating to the high-rise buildings of the 9th microdistrict and to the territory of Koksokhim, where they will continue to hold positions for now.

    ▪️In the south of Avdeevka, our fighters completed the encirclement and capture of the powerful Zenit fortified area with flank maneuvers!
    ▪️The most important defense center fell - the air defense base in the southwest near Avdeevka, which was turned by the Ukrainian Armed Forces into a real fortress with underground fortifications filled with thick concrete.
    ▪️This fortified area could have shackled our offensive, wedging into Russian positions and preventing the assault on Avdeevka from this direction.
    ▪️And so, during a competent operation, the fighters of the 1st Slavyanskaya knocked out the enemy, taking this fortress of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

    Slovak PM calls Russian withdrawal from Donbass and Crimea 'absolutely unrealistic'

    Robert Fico opined that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine

    BRATISLAVA, February 15. /TASS/. The idea that Russia will leave Donbass and Crimea is ‘absolutely unrealistic,’ Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said.

    "If someone thinks that the only solution [to the conflict in Ukraine] is that the Russians will return to the border where they were [before the escalation of the conflict in February 2022] and leave Crimea, it is absolutely unrealistic. We need to adapt to the new reality that has now emerged," Fico said in an interview with the hlavnespravy.sk news outlet. "It is naive to think that the Russians will leave Donbass and Lugansk, it is naive to think that the Russians will leave Crimea," he emphasized.

    The Slovak prime minister opined that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ukraine. "I really want this war to end. Otherwise we will see a large number of casualties on both sides," he said. "I can't imagine what peace between Russia and Ukraine will look like, but it will come and it will be painful," the top official pointed out.

    The Slovak prime minister is opposed to the West sending arms to the Kiev authorities. According to Fico, military aid will only escalate the situation. At the same time, the top official is in favor of providing Ukraine with substantial humanitarian aid.

    FACTBOX: Key facts about latest series of explosions in Ukraine

    A nationwide air raid alert was announced across Ukraine and remained in effect for more than two hours

    MOSCOW, February 15. /TASS/. A series of several explosions went off in the morning in Kiev and other major Ukrainian cities, Ukrainian media and authorities said.

    A nationwide air raid alert was announced across Ukraine and remained in effect for more than two hours. The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet officially commented on these reports. TASS has gathered the key facts about what happened.

    Geography of events

    - An air raid alert was declared throughout Ukraine at 5:01 a.m. Moscow time (2:01 a.m. GMT). It was canceled after more than two hours.

    - Explosions were heard in the city of Kiev and in the adjacent Kiev Region. According to eyewitnesses, at least two heavy explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital.

    - At least two series of explosions were heard in Dnepr (formerly Dnepropetrovsk) and the Ukrainian-controlled city of Zaporozhye, as well as three in Lvov in far western Ukraine.

    - Explosions were also reported in the Ivano-Frankovsk and Poltava regions.

    Aftermath

    - An infrastructure facility was damaged in the city of Zaporozhye. Damage to infrastructure in the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporozhye Region was also reported.

    - Lvov Mayor Andrey Sadovoy reported on damage to infrastructure in his city.

    - Poltava Regional Administration Head Philip Pronin reported a fire at a warehouse in the Mirgorodsky District. According to him, the area of the fire amounted to 100 square meters.

    Previous series of explosions

    - This is the second major series of explosions in Ukraine since the beginning of the month; the previous one took place on February 7. Back then, electricity was lost in some districts of Kiev, with the left-bank section of the city experiencing water and heat supply problems. At that time, the Russian Defense Ministry reported a strike on enterprises in the Ukrainian defense sector.

    ❗️The Ukrainian military has already begun a partial withdrawal in Avdeevka. They consider the surrender of the city to Russian forces to be only a matter of time, according to the Washington Post.

    "The ruined coke and chemical plant, once an economic pillar in Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region, is likely to be the last Ukrainian stronghold in Avdeevka, which has been embattled since 2014. Ukrainian troops say it is just a matter of time before they will have to surrender the city, and on Thursday the military said a partial withdrawal has already begun," the Washington Post writes.

    ‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already begun a partial withdrawal from Avdievka, considering the surrender of the city to the Russian army only a matter of time - Washington Post
    ▪️The pilot of the drone “Alpha” with the call sign “Vitamin” from Avdievka told WP that the Russians are seeking to surround the Avdiivka coke plant, which has become the main base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city.
    ▪️“Storming a coke plant will be very difficult and probably makes no sense. They'll try to get around him and surround him, and that's it. Our forces will be forced to retreat."
    ▪️The Russians “are now trying to put pressure on the right flank of the coke plant, and they are succeeding.”
    ▪️ “Capturing Avdiivka would mark Moscow’s most significant military victory since the failure of a Ukrainian counteroffensive last year – and would be the clearest sign yet that Russian forces are regaining the initiative as Kiev lacks soldiers, weapons, ammunition, morale and money.” – writes the Washington Post.
    ▪️Although “a complete withdrawal of troops from Avdievka now seems likely,” during the reporters’ trip to the city, “fresh forces from the assault brigades were deployed there to help repel Russian attacks and continue the defense of Avdievka.”
