   Basurin confirmed the destruction of the headquarters of the Sever OTG, which was reported by various sources earlier in the day. Most of the officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died.

 

   "As a result of the successful joint actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the People's Militia of the DPR and LPR, today the headquarters of the operational-tactical group "North" was destroyed. Most of the staff officers died. According to our intelligence, General Krasilnikov, commander of the Sever Special Forces, is also among the dead.

 

   During the liberation of Volnovakha, the headquarters of the 53rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed by rocket artillery of the advancing group, the received radio intercepts confirm the liquidation of the commander of the 53rd brigade, Colonel Titenko.

 

   According to the information received, General Sodol, the commander of the Vostok Special Forces Group, was urgently evacuated from Mariupol by helicopter in a serious condition.

 

   The general was seriously injured as a result of uncoordinated actions of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a separate detachment "Azov" of the 12th brigade of the National Guard. When trying to pass one of the checkpoints unhindered, fire was opened on Sodol's car. 

About high ranking officers of UAF killed or wounded.

"Echo of Moscow" and TV channel "Dozhd" publish false information about the actions of the Russian military as part of a special operation to protect the DPR and LPR - Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation

The Prosecutor General's Office demanded to restrict access to "Echo of Moscow" and "Rain" (recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign media agent)

I fail to see how they are "scare weapon", how they are scarier than MRLS, cruise missiles, 100k soldiers and so on.

Well to be fair both RT and Sputnik have been banned in all EU territory.

(Youtube channels are already unavailable and their websites will probably follow soon).

While those two media are obvious propaganda tools, they are being so blatant about it that I wonder why they even bother.

It doesn't exactly look good to ban specific news outlets, regardless of their affiliation...

Truckers are getting attacked by Ukrainians nationalists in different Eastern Europen countries, damaged wheels, vehicles, etc.

That's how you get people in the war, 99% sure this is bullshit. Trying to get Belarusian army and people morale up. Typical KGB rulebook, say some bushit many times and it becomes fact.

Oh hey, we have KGB expert here. How many times KGB used attacks on truckers with tire stabbing?

That T-80BVM as well as another one that was abandoned around the same time (or perhaps somewhat later) are confirmed to have belonged to the 200th MRB. The one with the popped turret was probably from them as well. So at least 3 confirmed losses, more IF the Ukrainians claims are truthful (in, fact most of their tank company unless their BTG has brought more than one or there is more than one BTG from them).

 

There is also footage of another two T-80BVMs, but they do not match the tactical markings of previous ones/200th MRB, so they are probably from a different unit (64th MRB maybe).

Hey what kind of rifles do the Ukrainians use? Some variant of ak-74 or did they ever upgrade? Do they have red dots on side mounts or dust cover mounts?

 

Most seem to use stock AK-74s same as the Russians do, but there are of course more types of rifles (and accessories) in use with their SOF & other elements (Tavor clones, M4 clones, AK bullpups etc.).

The missile used here is said to be a Polish Piorun, a missile designed to engage low flying targets.

Apparently a Su-34 was shot down by an Osa missile as well.

 

I thought the Russians would begin an air campaign after their missile strikes attrited Ukraine's GBAD.  However, we see Su-34's down in the engagement envelope of Osa.  Why?  I suppose they are trying to deliver unguided munitions from an altitude where there is some accuracy.  Perhaps they have to dip below the clouds to deliver guided munitions.  Either way it's farcical to see planes in that envelope in the year 2022.  Especially a rare and expensive Su-34.
