Via Remix News,

Speaking at a strategy session of the National Security Bureau, the Polish Armed Forces chief of staff General Rajmund Andrzejczak said that when he analyzes the war in Ukraine politically, he is pessimistic.

This is, he explained, because “there is nothing that indicates that Russia will lack the resources to continue the conflict.”

He said during the session that he did not feel sanctions would stop Russia from having the funds to continue the war.

The general also offered a bleak assessment of Poland’s ability to send ammunition to Ukraine. “We simply don’t have the ammunition. Our industry isn’t ready to send the equipment to Ukraine and to maintain our own dwindling reserves,” he said. He noted that he was tirelessly presenting such an analysis in order to raise awareness.

He continued his remarks by saying that “war is not the business of soldiers.” It is rather “a question of politics with economic factors involving finance, infrastructure, technology, food, and a range of other problems that you have to figure into the equation to be able to understand it.”

Gen. Andrzejczak observed that “Ukraine is experiencing huge financial problems,” despite the huge aid packages it was receiving from the U.S., the West and Poland.

Gen. Andrzejczak told the National Security Bureau that he regarded the security situation facing Poland as highly dangerous. Asked if the leaders of the West appreciated how far Ukraine is from winning the war with Russia, he opined that “an honest assessment of the threats was still both a surprise and a shock for most of them.”

The general also said there was no indication that Ukrainians who fled their country would return home to start reconstruction, adding that he felt that the NATO summit in Vilnius will be “a summit to define our credibility, of NATO, and the whole of the West.”

If the response was “late” and lacking in determination, then Ukraine would have no chance of a secure future.

Russian troops drove the enemy into a trap in the Avdiivka direction, 04.29.2023.

Russian artillery trapped a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdiivka direction.

DONETSK, April 29 - RIA Novosti. Artillery crews of the Russian troops drove the personnel of one of the Ukrainian units in the Avdiivka direction into a trap and inflicted a fire defeat on him, RIA Novosti correspondent reports.

Several reconnaissance drones tracked the movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Avdiivka and transmitted artillery data in real time.

As a result, the Russian forces delivered several pinpoint strikes against the enemy troops and forced them to leave their original shelters. At the same time, the artillery raid continued during the flight of Ukrainian soldiers and their change of position.

When the personnel of the enemy unit occupied the new dugout, the Russian scouts corrected the final blow against it.

In early April, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, announced the offensive and advance of the Russian army in the Avdiivka area, while noting the extremely difficult situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This city is still under the control of the Kiev regime and is being used by them to bombard Donetsk.

At the end of March, the former company commander of one of the Ukrainian units, Yevhen Dykyi, said that Russian troops were using the successful experience gained near Artemivsk in Avdiivka, surrounding the city and cutting it off from supplies. According to Dykyi, the settlement is already halfway in the ring.

Ukraine killed a random guy near Kherson:


His final journey appears to be this:


So he starts at the large dacha/fishing hut area on the Ukrainian-controlled side, and heads towards the uninhabited strip of swampy no-mans land in between the front lines.

The drone follows him across the pond or whatever, while some shells fall nearby. Then he enters a small side stream, but turns around after a while. Seems like he's having trouble paddling there. Two Ukrainian drones are observing him at this stage, one very close and one from afar. He waves to the close one, apparently signalling that he's a civilian. It is evident that he's unarmed, in civilian clothing etc.

When he is just about to exit the small stream, on his way back to where he started, some precision-guided munition blows him up. The drone close by films this from straight above, the other drone from some distance (there are multiple angles here and there in another edit released by the Ukrainians, the clip above doesn't include them all).

The Ukrainians posted this and gloated about it for a while, but when the bad look was getting more and more evident, they removed it and banned any mentions of it.

By the look of things, he was a fisherman.

Wagner fighter announced the imminent liberation of Artemovsk, 04.30.2023.

Fighter of the Wagner group: about 1.5 km left until the complete liberation of Artemovsk.

ARTEMOVSK, April 30 - RIA Novosti. The assault detachments had to go about one and a half kilometers before the complete liberation of Artemovsk, a fighter of the Wagner group told RIA Novosti.

"The front line is moving closer and closer (to the western outskirts of the city. - Approx. ed.). They (APU. - Approx. ed.) "from the ceiling" if there was one and a half kilometers left in the city, then they would be very lucky. There remains a little development, residential sector, and then comes the private sector," he said.

According to the fighter, his unit managed to storm the quarter behind the railway, which divides the city into two parts. Multi-storey residential buildings stand on a hill from which Ukrainian militants monitored and corrected the fire. So far, they control the building of the medical institute, located on the highest western point of Artemovsk.

"We took a bridgehead from nine-story buildings, pushed through. Now we have only one jump left - to the medical institute, this is a priority height here, in the west. From there they had all the adjustment of artillery, tanks. We have already suppressed almost everything," the source concluded.

Artemovsk is located north of Gorlovka . This is an important transport hub for supplying the Ukrainian group in the Donbass. Fierce battles have been going on outside the city for many months. According to the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin , the assault squads have to take control of about three square kilometers of territory.

The attack aircraft are supported by units of the Airborne Forces, aviation and artillery of the Southern Group of Russian Forces. On the eve of the Ministry of Defense reported that they managed to stop the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to counterattack from the areas of Chasov Yar, Kalinina and Krasnoy.

The Maidan regime and Western media have just accused Russia of air strike an apartment at Uman resulted in 23 deads.

Anybody have any further information about this incidents ? Is that a false flag staged by the Maidan regime ? Or did Russian air force really made mistake in this incident ?

Believed to be a Ukie S-300 missile, as an earlier comment here put it, not good to have a building between the launcher and the incoming target.
