Russian troops have captured the strategically important Avdeevka Coke and Chemical plant, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said. Ukrainian troops had occupied the complex and turned it into a heavily fortified launchpad for attacks on the city of Donetsk. Kiev's forces in the area are in a headlong rout, the ministry added.

In a statement on Sunday, the ministry said that Russia’s ‘Center’ group of troops had taken “full control” of the facility located on the northern outskirts of the city. “Russian flags have been hoisted on the administrative buildings of the plant. Units of the Ukrainian armed forces continued their disorderly retreat,” officials said.

The ministry also shared aerial footage of intense fighting in the area, with multiple explosions taking place around the plant as several adjacent buildings came under artillery fire.

The plant was Ukraine’s largest coke producer, before the start of the conflict in February 2022. The facility later became a linchpin in Kiev’s defense system in the area, boasting formidable fortifications. As the fighting progressed, the plant itself was almost completely destroyed.

The Defense Ministry also said that as Russian troops continued their advance in the Avdeevka area, only a few disorganized Ukrainian units managed to make it out of the city, leaving their military equipment behind. Other footage shown by the ministry depicts what appears to be several military vehicles abandoned by Ukrainian troops during the retreat.

At the moment, Moscow’s forces “are carrying out actions aimed at clearing Avdeevka of militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and blocking their units,” officials added.


Moscow announced the capture of Avdeevka on Saturday, stating that around 1,500 Ukrainian troops had been killed during the retreat. Media reports and Ukrainian military commanders painted a grim picture of the fighting in the area, saying that some of Kiev’s units had been encircled and that the military in the area had to abandon some of their badly wounded comrades.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky confirmed the withdrawal from the former stronghold, describing the decision as “absolutely logical” and insisting that Kiev was trying to save the lives of its soldiers.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden blamed the Ukrainian retreat on the Republican failure to approve new aid to Kiev which has left Ukraine suffering from a lack of military supplies. The GOP has been reluctant to support the measure, demanding that the White House do more to enhance security on the southern US border.
 
British-made kamikaze drone captured in Donbass (VIDEO)

The Banshee Jet-80 was aimed at “a major civil infrastructure facility” in Mariupol, DPR head Denis Pushilin has said
Russian forces have intercepted a British-made kamikaze jet drone in the southern part of Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the head of the Russian region, Denis Pushilin, has said.

In a statement on Monday, Pushilin said that the UK-made Banshee Jet-80 had been neutralized by Federal Security Service (FSB) operatives, military police, and the National Guard over the Novoazovsk district.

The official noted that after a “controlled landing,” Russian bomb experts had disarmed the kamikaze UAV, removing 7kg of explosives that were swiftly destroyed at the scene.
 
US and allies trying to avoid Ukrainian military collapse – Politico


The Ukrainian military’s worsening prospects on the battlefield have prompted Western officials to call for more US military aid at the Munich Security Conference, Politico reported on Sunday.

American lawmakers failed to approve additional funding of $60 billion for Kiev before the winter recess, but discussions about the package are set to resume later this month.

The latest plan is just to keep the Ukrainian military from collapsing, Politico reported, citing several US politicians and foreign officials who attended the three-day forum last week.

“Many sidestepped the question of what a Ukrainian victory would look like, or when it might happen,” the outlet wrote, claiming that they also sounded far from certain about what a victory might look like for Ukraine – even with a multi-billion-dollar aid boost.

US Senator Mark Warner, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said the aid package would be a “game changer” for Ukraine. However, he declined to say whether this support would ensure a Ukrainian victory, simply stating that US assistance was Kiev’s last, best hope.

“I am not aware of any other way for, in the short term, the Ukrainians to get the arms and ammunition and tools they need, other than from the United States,” Warner said.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said at a news conference with US Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday that the aid package was vital for Kiev.

“We do not currently look into alternatives because we are counting on the United States as our strategic partner,” Zelensky said. Harris confirmed that there was no Plan B in the event that American lawmakers fail to greenlight the package. “There’s only Plan A,” she added.

Moscow has repeatedly condemned Western arms supplies to Ukraine, saying they only prolong the conflict without changing the outcome.

Western and Ukrainian politicians have been expressing concerns over the worsening situation on the battlefield since Zelensky admitted in December that Kiev’s long-planned summer counteroffensive had failed to gain any substantial ground.

Western officials reportedly warned that, without US support, “a cascading collapse along the front is a real possibility” in 2024. The warnings intensified after Zelensky sacked the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny, earlier this month. Kiev’s newly appointed top military commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, has also acknowledged that the frontline situation is “difficult.”
On Saturday, Russian forces liberated the key town of Avdeevka, inflicting heavy casualties on Ukrainian troops – eliminating up to 1,500 in a single day, according to Russia’s Ministry of Defense. Located several kilometers to the north of Donetsk, Avdeevka has been a major stronghold for Ukrainian troops in Donbass, as well as one of the key staging points for repeated artillery and missile strikes on the Russian city.

Undercover NATO personnel fighting in Ukraine – Russian general

Western specialists operate Kiev’s air defenses and rocket systems, Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy claims
Undercover NATO personnel fighting in Ukraine – Russian general

NATO soldiers are fighting against the Russian Army in the Ukraine conflict disguised as mercenaries, a senior Russian defense official has claimed, days after Moscow dealt a major blow to Kiev with the capture of the key Donbass city of city Avdeevka.

Ukraine’s shelling of Russian civilians – a significant part of which was carried out from Avdeevka in the years prior – is happening at Kiev’s behest and with the tacit consent of Western states, the deputy head of the Russian General Staff, Colonel General Sergey Rudskoy, told Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper on Monday.

The US and its allies pump Ukraine full of weapons and provide it with communications services and intelligence information, but some of the equipment requires qualified Western personnel on the ground, the official said.

“NATO soldiers disguised as mercenaries participate in the military operations. They control air defense systems, operational-tactical missiles and multiple launch rocket systems, and enter into assault detachments,” Rudskoy said.

NATO officers directly prepare military operations for the Ukrainian armed forces.

In mid-January, the Russian MOD announced it had killed over 60 foreign fighters in a precision strike, of which the majority were French speakers. Although France subsequently denied that any of their armed forces were in Ukraine, the French defense minister acknowledged that some French nationals went to fight as “volunteers” – and claimed that as a “democracy,” Paris can’t stop them from doing so.

According to the Russian MOD’s estimates, more than 5,900 foreign mercenaries have died in Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022. The Ukrainian Army suffered almost 160,000 casualties over the course of its disastrous counteroffensive last year alone, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Kiev suffered colossal losses, failing to pierce Russia’s tactical defense zone, while the Russian Army learned and tested novel ways of warfare, Rudskoy said, adding that following the capture of Avdeevka, the Russian troops are improving their positions along the entire line of contact.

Speaking on the economic situation in Germany in an interview with Russian media released on Sunday, Putin said: “Apparently, they were expecting that if they don’t take our gas, we will fall apart faster than they face irreversible processes. But irreversible processes are effectively starting to happen.”

According to the Russian president, “industries are moving to other countries, including the US, where more favorable conditions have been created, and where energy has proven cheaper.” He added that “it’s absolutely obvious” that the policies adopted by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government are “dealing a colossal blow to the German economy’s future.”

Putin noted that Russia is not restricting gas exports to Europe – Germany and other nations are making that choice of their own accord.

Ukraine will lose more cities without US aid – Biden

The US president has said that he is “going to fight” to give another $60 billion to Kiev
Ukraine will lose more cities without US aid – Biden

US President Joe Biden made a renewed appeal to Congress to approve $60 billion in military aid for Kiev, saying that “no-one can be” confident Ukraine won’t lose more ground without it.

“I spoke with [Ukrainian President Vladimir] Zelensky this afternoon to let him know that I was confident we’re going to get that money,” Biden told reporters in Delaware on Saturday, hours after the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Avdeevka, a town of strategic importance in the Donbass region. The White House, the Pentagon, and Zelensky have blamed the loss of Avdeevka on the dwindling supplies of US arms and ammunition reaching Ukraine.

Russian pilot who hijacked Mi-8 for Ukraine found dead in Spain
19.02.2024

Pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked a Russian Mi-8 military helicopter for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was allegedly found dead in Spain, TASS reports.

The body of the 33-year-old military man was found on a garage ramp. The body had bullet wounds. Kuzminov was residing in the city of La Villajoyosa in Alicante. Sources at Spanish Civil Guard said that the Russian had recently had problems with drugs and alcohol.

"The foreigner would act inappropriately, he would often yell, chat drunkenly and tell many stories about his past and present life,” Kuzminov's neighbours in Spain said.

Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of Ukraine, confirmed that Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov was found dead in Spain.

In October 2023, special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate said that pilot Kuzminov "will not live to see trial.” A Rossiya 1 journalist then noted that the order to physically eliminate Maxim Kuzminov had "already been received” by the military, and its execution was only "a matter of time.”

In September 2023, it became known that Kuzminov hijacked a Mi-8 military helicopter from the Kursk region and flew it to the territory of Ukraine. Kuzminov received an offer to steal the equipment from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
