*Ретроспектива*
З цієї ілюстрації, по суті, і почалися "вар"-карикатури і з неї народилися брутальні біоагенти-діверсанти Ковальські та Шкіпер.
Міхалковська дурня про біоптахів породила ідею сюжету про використання природної пташиної "біозброї" над Кремлем, а потім вже птахи перетворились в пінгвінів.
Ілюстрація, на моє диво, отримала багато уваги і - запустила весь процес.

The new military leadership of Ukraine seems to understand that fighting a lost cause is not worth it and tactical retreat is a better choice than ideology driven battle plans.
Question is, will this retreat change anything in the way ukraine is fighting the war? Can they survive the coming months before the money from #EU and Pentagon comes in and will they be able to win the competition with Israel when it comes to receiving military aid to fight this war?It's no surprise that Biden is pushing to end the Israeli assault on #Gaza and prevent an escalation. Because that means an even more pressure on already stretched US strategic military plans and the hard choice of letting Ukraine fall or Israel lose.
Because there is no way US can support the 2 wars with the same intensity, specially if #Iran and #Syria get involved.
In an ideal world. This could have been a positive thing, a chance to step back and realize that this war has no winners and all losers, specially for #Europe that is suffering from massive cost of taking care of Ukraine refugees, loss of lucrative Russian market, big loss in purchase of oil and gas because of US, Saudi and Indian price gouging and of course the ridiculous push for increasing the military budget.
US on the other hand is enjoying it, selling gas as premium price, selling oil at increased price and of course huge number of orders of it's over priced military junk by the scared and naive Europeans.
2024 is going to be an even shittier year than 2023 was, with the risk of lunatic #Trump coming back as the president of the US .

From Russian propaganda channel: #Russia has unveiled the #Termit unmanned #helicopter, which carries three laser-guided #missiles.
The #drone was developed before the conflict in #Ukraine and is probably at a high level of readiness. Its high-precision missiles can hit targets up to 6 kilometres away. The drone has a speed of 150 km/h and can stay in the air for up to 6 hours. -

Russian sources claim that their military have gained territories in the northern front of the UkraineWar and getting closer to encircle Ukrainian forces in Avdiikva and cut off their support line.
With the word busy with Israel-Gaza conflict, the Russians seems to be advancing in multiple fronts with the risk of encircle or capture large number of Ukranian forces.This come at the time Ukraine is trying to call in women for military service to replace (claimed by Russia) massive losses of personel in the past few weeks.

A Russian jet collided with a US drone over the Black Sea, US military confirmed.
Bloody Russians, how dare they fly their fighter jet so close to an American drone that is only 6000lm from their own border?
Time to call for retaliation!

Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow
The quality of Ukraine’s military force, once considered a substantial advantage over Russia, has been degraded by a year of casualties that have taken many of the most experienced fighters off the battlefield, leading some Ukrainian officials to question Kyiv’s readiness to mount a much-anticipated spring offensive.
The situation on the battlefield now may not reflect a full picture of Ukraine’s forces, because Kyiv is training troops for the coming counteroffensive separately and deliberately holding them back from current fighting, including the defense of Bakhmut, a U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be candi
On the front lines, however, the mood is dark.
Kupol, who consented to having his photograph taken and said he understood he could face personal blowback for giving a frank assessment, described going to battle with newly drafted soldiers who had never thrown a grenade, who readily abandoned their positions under fire and who lacked confidence in handling firearms.
His unit withdrew from Soledar in eastern Ukraine in the winter after being surrounded by Russian forces who later captured the city. Kupol recalled how hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers in units fighting alongside his battalion simply abandoned their positions, even as fighters for Russia’s Wagner mercenary group pressed ahead.
Ukraine has also faced an acute shortage of artillery shells, which Washington and its allies have scrambled to address, with discussions about how to shore up Ukrainian stocks dominating daily meetings on the war at the White House National Security Council. Washington’s efforts have kept Ukraine fighting, but use rates are very high, and scarcity persists.
Dmytro, a Ukrainian soldier whom The Post is identifying only by first name for security reasons, described many of the same conditions. Some of the less-experienced troops serving at his position with the 36th Marine Brigade in the Donetsk region “are afraid to leave the trenches,” he said. Shelling is so intense at times, he said, that one soldier will have a panic attack, then “others catch it.”
Meanwhile, a Russian offensive has been building since early January, according to Syrsky. Budanov, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, told The Post last month that Russia had more than 325,000 soldiers in Ukraine, and another 150,000 mobilized troops could soon join the fight. Ukrainian soldiers report being outnumbered and having less ammunition.
Russia is also facing ammunition, manpower and motivation problems — and has notched only incremental gains in recent months despite the strained state of Ukraine’s force. As bad as Ukraine’s losses are, Russia’s are worse, the U.S. official said.
Despite reports of untrained mobilized Russian fighters being thrown into battle, Syrsky said those now arriving are well-prepared. “We have to live and fight in these realities,” he said. “Of course, it’s problematic for us. … It forces us to be more precise in our firing, more detailed in our reconnaissance, more careful in choosing our positions and more detailed in organizing the interaction between the units. There is no other way.”
Russia’s recent gains — notably around Bakhmut — have not significantly tilted the battlefield, and U.S. military officials have said that even if Russia seizes Bakhmut, it would be of little strategic importance. But given the heavy casualties Ukraine is suffering there, officials in Washington have questioned Kyiv’s refusal to retreat. The United States has been advising Ukraine to retreat from the city since at least January, the U.S. official said.
