Today marks exactly 2 years since February 24, 2022, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

731 days ago at dawn, Ukrainian cities were hit by missile strikes. Since then, Ukrainians have been living in conditions of a cruel, brutal full-scale war that has crossed out life until February 24, 2022 and finally destroyed the international order in the world.

At the same time, Russian military aggression against Ukraine has been going on for 10 years. The war started when the Kremlin, hiding behind hybrid aggression, annexed Crimea and occupied parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in 2014.

Our defenders do everything possible every day to make the Victory Song sound in Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine!

Today, another endless 24th of February has begun.

Instead of an alarm clock - an alarm. Cold shower of news. Waiting is fed from the marathon. Donation instead of coffee. Familiar?

Two years - like one day. Purchased aid for the Armed Forces abroad, brought it in order in Kyiv, delivered it to Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv regions. Went abroad to negotiate aid for Ukraine and work in parliament. And then we gather cargo for the front again. And so on in a circle. Day by day, week by week.

He left the countdown of the third year of the decade-long war. It will be very difficult. For 8 years, the insane horde was restrained on the borders of Donetsk and Crimea, buying time to strengthen, but it broke loose from the chain and feeds on human blood.

Our duty is to stop them. For the freedom and prosperity of the entire free world. For this, the best sons and daughters of Ukraine give their lives.

The 730th day began on February 24. But not for everyone. Someone has already forgotten about unity, drags the army into dirty political games, thinks about PR and future elections. Elections that may never happen if "they" do not repent.

We are all very hard. But do not let despair and despair get into your heart. We work for victory. I am convinced that if God gave us these trials, then he knew that we would withstand and cope.

Therefore we keep our mind cool, our heart warm, and our back straight.

This is the way.

😂First a flash, then explosions! - GUR confirmed the downing of the Russian plane A-50U.

 

The last flight A50U took place on February 23, 2024 at 15:50 from the Ahktubinsk airport and was supposed to carry out terrorist tasks of the aggressor state Russia near the settlements of Primorsko-Akhtarsk - Zernograd.

Sharp cessation of work in the specified area of the radar complex of the drone equipped with А-50У was recorded by the stations of the radio-technical reconnaissance of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine at 18:45.

 

The fire damage of the modernized DRLO A-50U of the Russian Aerospace Forces also confirms the interception of the conversation of the Su-35 cover crew.

 

One of the Russian pilots on the radio reports that he observed the work of the air defense system, flashes and explosions.

 

An additional sign of the success of the joint operation of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the order to abort the missions for two Su-35 aircraft and three Su-34 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which were carrying out tasks near the settlement of Milleorovo - some of them planned to strike near Avdiivka.

The company where the fire occurred is engaged in development, production, marketing, training of flight personnel, after-sales service of Su and Be brand combat and civilian aircraft.

This video was recorded in Kyiv on February 24th at 10 in the morning. The first rocket explosions rang out. Columns of Russians were advancing through Ukraine, while their propagandists were spreading panic messages in Ukrainian segments of social media. But our soldiers were already pushing back. Thoughts that were mixed in my head at that time, and the understanding that we needed to morally support people, transformed into this video. First conclusions, first emotions, first advice. Yes, it wasn't two or three weeks. Yes, I was speaking very confusedly. But the main message I voiced then has not changed and still remains. We will resist. And Ukraine will prevail!

That is why in the future history next to the word Ukraine will always stand the word Independent. We fight for this. And we will win. On the best day of our lives.

Thank you to all of you warriors, our people and everyone in the world who stand by us and truth. Glory to Ukraine!

💬Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before. The country's accession to the Alliance is no longer a question of if, but a question of when.— NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

President Putin started this war because he wanted to close the door to NATO and take away Ukraine's right to choose its own path. But he achieved the complete opposite. Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before. Ukraine will join NATO, it's not a question of if, but a question of when, - Stoltenberg said.

The Secretary-General added that the Alliance will continue to support Ukraine for your and our security.

Today is the second anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We all remember the first hours and days of the invasion, when officials fled to western Ukraine, when the authorities fearfully hid in their offices, and ordinary Ukrainians went out to defend their land. Two years later, the war is still ongoing, and how long it will last is unknown. But we still need to unite around Ukraine and the Armed Forces. No matter who throws sticks in our wheels, no matter what foolishness the current government does, we all need to move towards victory. Will Zelensky form a government of national unity? Will the authorities start persecuting people who took responsibility to defend the country? I shared details in my personal blog. Join the discussions in the comments.

My people are! My people always will be!

These words of Symonenko are in every Ukrainian's heart today. Today is the 730th day of the never-ending 24th of February ten-year war.

Do we really have two years? It feels like the day never ends. Every morning: anxiety instead of an alarm clock, a cold shower of news, the deceitful ugliness of a marathon, and instead of tea or coffee - a doughnut. Day after day we buy equipment abroad and inside Ukraine, Mavics, ammunition, drones, FPV, and everything possible. We arrange everything in Kyiv and send it all to the front: to the East and South.

Today at 6 in the morning I returned from the front. In one day, assistance was provided to 19 brigades: 5 brigades of the 10th Army Corps in the South, 10 mountain-storm, heroes of Avdiivka 110 mechanized, 53 mechanized, 57 motorized infantry, 58 motorized infantry, 68 jäger, 54 reconnaissance, 74 reconnaissance. Everyone has the same question - give FPV, give tractors, give Mavics, when will the shells arrive.

We see no fear, no uncertainty in the eyes of our military. My call to our European partners - help us to pursue our Ukrainian cause, even though it is difficult for everyone.

Never let despair and discouragement get into your heart. Keep your mind cool, your heart warm, and your back straight.

Bloomberg: USA dodges the toughest sanctions against Russia

❗️ The USA has imposed another round of sanctions. The 200-page list includes companies located in Russia, the United Arab Emirates, China, and other countries. It became the largest one-day package of financial sanctions since February 24, 2022. However, it is no less notable that companies and sectors are missing from the large list. This concerns the metallurgical sector. As well as tougher sanctions on the energy sector and secondary sanctions on banks.

❗️This caution demonstrates the fact that, despite all of Biden's talk about sanctions, his team still does not want to aggressively fight the flows of income, the absence of which could really undermine the Russian economy. They are afraid to cause serious shocks that could affect the US economy.

❗ Possible objects of a more aggressive approach could be those foreign banks that help Russia buy technologies and materials, as well as trade in enriched uranium and metals such as aluminum and nickel. And the USA could freeze Russian state reserves. All of these measures are potentially associated with significant risks.

❗️ "In order to truly influence Russia, we will have to take more strategic actions that may have detrimental consequences for the global economy as a whole... We will have to start making more complex decisions and accept the consequences that will accompany these decisions," says former employee of the Ministry of Finance and director of the "Economic State" initiative at the Atlantic Council Kim Donovan, adding that there is no alternative to imposing new sanctions that could deal an economic blow to Russia.

🔎Russia has lost the amount of personnel and military equipment that was on February 24, 2022, after two years of full-scale war against Ukraine.— British intelligence.

It is noted that Russia has deployed about 130 battalion tactical groups for invasion into Ukraine. This includes approximately 1300 tanks, over 5000 Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), as well as at least 100,000 personnel.

Over two years of conflict, Russian losses are matching, and in many cases exceeding, those that made up its initial force. Confirmed Russian losses include over 2700 tanks and 5000 BMPs and APCs. The number of killed and wounded in Russia is likely around 350,000.- It is mentioned in the summary.

According to intelligence, the Russian Federation compensated for losses by mobilization and increased production.

Russian troops in Ukraine now outnumber more than at the beginning of the war. Now it is capable of supporting attacks along the front line and conducting a strategy of exhausting Ukrainian forces., - indicate scouts.

In particular, during the search in the office of Concorde Capital on January 18, 2023, corporate documentation, seals, electronic keys, licenses, and other items were confiscated.

Please remember that imperial ambitions and revanchism disappear only from the defeat of those infected by them, and it is precisely this that opens up space for real security and democracy. We hear at this time: History is watching. And this is absolutely true.

You know very well what we need to protect our sky, strengthen our army on the ground. And you know everything we need to support and continue our success at sea. And you understand well that we need all this in time. We rely on you.

Ukraine had agreements with the Russian side regarding wounded military personnel who could not be evacuated from Avdiivka, ombudsman Lubinets reported.

We had the opportunity to communicate with the Russian side. We had previously agreed that the wounded Ukrainian soldiers would be officially taken prisoner, provided with assistance, and then returned through the exchange procedure. Unfortunately, the Russian side once again showed that any agreements may not be fulfilled," he explained.

Lubinets said, Ukraine constantly faces Russia breaking agreements and norms of humanitarian law.

"We don't know what to do with this," the ombudsman added.

The General Directorate of Internal Security of France (DGSI) February report has fallen into the hands of the AFP agency. The special services warn of Moscow's attempts to interfere in France's internal affairs in order to destabilize the situation in the country. This concerns, in particular, the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris, where Russian athletes are unlikely to participate, but the temptation to sabotage or tarnish them at the Kremlin is definitely present. The report also mentions Ukrainian refugees and Russian political emigres in France, who could be targeted by Russian special services.

As an example of the activities of Russian special services, the story of graffiti in the form of David's stars is given, which citizens of Moldova applied to the walls of Parisian houses after the attack of HAMAS on Israel, and the organizer turned out to be businessman from this country Anatoly Prizenko. Prizenko himself initially did not deny his participation in the action and as early as November claimed that it did not have an anti-Semitic character, but was a kind of act of solidarity with the Jews and Israel. However, the DGSI came to the conclusion that Prizenko and his people were acting on the orders of the FSB.

The conclusion of the French special services is not a sensation. It was obvious as early as last autumn, and the Russian side did everything to facilitate the work of the French investigators. The performers of the action were frank dilettantes, acting extremely clumsily and quickly falling into the hands of the police. Prizenko's cynical statements are even made in the style of today's Russian chekists.

In fact, the Russian side has long been acting brazenly and openly, not even trying to disguise its actions and wants to show its strength in this way: this was the case with Litvinenko, Skripal, Navalny, and Kuzminov. This was also the case in Paris at the end of last year.

Remember such a bearded anecdote, like at MGIMO a teacher gives students an assignment: - In today's practical lesson, we will consider the following situation. Our missile, by mistake, flew to Africa and exploded there on the territory of some state. You, as a employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, must write an official letter to the head of this country.

At the next lesson:- I checked what you wrote! Only one work pleased me. You can immediately see a future diplomat here. A solid “A”, except for a couple of grammatical errors. The word “неебёт” is written separately, and the phrase “черножопая обезьяна”, when addressing the head of state, should be capitalized, after all he is the president.

Since life cannot be whispered, he made this joke a reality. The former president of Mongolia laughed at citizen Zakharova (who is the press secretary of the Russian Foreign Ministry), who was agitated by his joke with a map of the Mongolian Empire and called her a "strongly drinking lady."

Maria Zakharova commented on Elbegdorj's words as follows: "crooked fascists were not given words." Solid five, you can immediately see a real diplomat.

Every 24th of February, I congratulate my Estonian friends on Independence Day. I have great respect for Estonia and its citizens, who in a short time managed to go from a post-Soviet republic to a modern democratic country, a full member of the EU and NATO. Today Estonia celebrates its 106th Independence Day. Over a century ago, in 1918, the Estonian Salvation Committee proclaimed the Manifesto of all peoples of Estonia. The document was publicly read on February 23 in the city of Pärnu, and the next day the country woke up independent.

As former head of the inter-parliamentary friendship group Ukraine-Estonia and a friend of the Republic of Estonia, I sincerely wish our countries fruitful and close cooperation in various directions and achieving maximum results. The Estonians have really managed to build a State and join the EU and NATO. I hope we will succeed too. And today I sincerely congratulate all Estonian friends on this holiday. You have something to be proud of!

🇺🇦Ukraine will strongly defend its economic interests, said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Kuleba to "Voice of America".

He explained that they are trying to shift all the responsibility for the problems of European farmers onto Ukraine.

For some reason, other countries do not talk about Russian grain that enters the European market. For some reason, no one is fighting it. For some reason, no one fights with grain from outside of Europe, which enters the European market in huge volumes. And they started spinning one topic that Ukraine is to blame for everything. And this belief exists at the level of these protesters, - explained Kuleba.

He believes that governments of responsible countries should start speaking honestly with their farmers, that the problem is much broader and not everything should be blamed on Ukraine.
