Russia has made slow but steady gains in Donbas in recent days, particularly near the town of Popasna in the Luhansk region. “Somewhere they will succeed and somewhere they will fail, but it doesn’t matter at all because Russia will lose in the end and Ukraine will recover all its temporarily lost territories. It will do so by force, exclusively by force, because no other way exists,” said General Budanov, one of the architects of the country’s war effort.

“That’s it. I am thankful to Azovstal for shelter - the place of my death and my life,” Dmytro ‘Orest’ Kozatsky said in his Instagram post, published on Friday.

The Azov regiment fighter made his photography from the sieged Azovstal steel plant available for free, asking for it to be shared as much as possible. Some of these photographs have already gone viral revealing the situation of Azov regiment fighters, notably the injured personnel.

“By the way, while I will be in captivity, I leave you my photos, apply to all the journalist awards and photography competitions for me. If I get something, I will be really pleased to learn about it after I am released. Thank you all for your support. See you”, he wrote.

Zelensky to consider returning to line on Feb 23, 2022 as victory

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that he would consider the return to the line on February 23, 2022 a victory.

"I believe that no matter what the appetite of different segments of our population, I believe that the most valuable thing is to save more people, the military. This is our value and treasure, as the results of this invasion have shown," he said in an interview with the ICTV broadcaster shown on Saturday as a telethon.

"You don't have to be very greedy about this, although this is not entirely fair. Fair is when we take everything... But there is land where they entered and occupied, and there is land where they have already dug in, deep in some territories," he said.

"We must look at the cost of this war. Everything will return anyway. We broke the back of one of the most powerful armies in the world. We have already done it. And psychologically we did it. They will not get back on their feet in the next few years," the president said.

Is this their 4th or 5th attempt to cross with a pontoon bridge and tanks with long snorkels?

True but at great cost. Meanwhile Ukraine is expanding a river crossing with threat of cutting off all supply routes to Northeastern offensives by Russia.
