The first is yesterday’s footage of Prigozhin’s explanation of the map of the eastern part of the city, which suspiciously none of the pro-Ukraine bloggers want to publish. But of course all the pro-Russian ones do.
I sent this question to Odessa. Answer:
The counter-offensive in the Bakhmut area is ongoing. Many of the remnants of buildings in the town have been mined and prepared. We assume that the intention of the Ukrainian f___es is to break through the northern and southern parts, and consequently to concentrate huge Russian f___es in the city itself, surround them and then destroy them. We conclude from the statements that we are going to see something in Bahmut that has never been seen before. Our f___es in the east of the city, if Prigozhin’s statement is true, are retreating to the outskirts of the city, probably to complete the ring.
If this is true, there will be hell for the Russians. And their grave. If it is not…I do not know what to say.
Here’s one of the pro-Russian channels posting yesterday’s statement and mapping the withdrawal of the Ukrainians:
That night, the Air F___e also shot down 10 ballistic missiles, according to the General Staff
"According to the specified information, the enemy used 6 Kinjal aeroballistic missiles, 9 Kalibr cruise missiles and 10 ground-based missiles (S-400, Iskander-M) to launch missile strikes.
The Ukrainians received about 20 M902 Patriot launchers.
If they use half of the PAC-3 (left) and half of the PAC-2 (right), they have 160 missile interceptors and 40 aircraft interceptors ready to launch — military expert Thomas Theiner
As long as the US provides PAC-3 interceptors, Russia will never be able to strike Kiev.
The Russians have 73 “X-47 “Kinjal” left, - Minister of Defense Reznikov
Another incredible success of the Ukrainian Air F___e! Last night, our sky defenders shot down SIX Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and 12 other missiles.
80-1-6=❌
Russian terrorists have no chance of taking over Ukraine. Their weapons can and must be resisted.
We thank our Air F___e personnel and our partner states who have invested in the protection of the skies over Ukraine and all of Europe
True, but so far they have published every statement he has made and ridiculed it, or presented counter-information. This time there is a strange silence. We’ll see in the next 24-48 hours what’s up.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine commented on Russian information about the destruction of the Patriot air defense system in Kyiv last night
“The press service of the Ministry of Defense of Russia is more powerful than the armies of most countries. Russia does not even need an army to conquer the whole world, its state media and the speaker of the Ministry of Defense Konashenkov are more than enough.”

Although Russia claims a speed of 10-12 thousand km/h, probably the “Kinjal” do not reach the stated speed, as they can be shot down by air defense systems capable of shooting down missiles flying twice as slowly.
“That’s the point: Russian missiles are twice as slow, since they can be shot down from the Patriot,” he said.
Shows how stupid they are. The system consists of many components you can’t destroy with a hit of one missile as the system is spread over a larger area.
The statements are extremely contradictory, the Russians claim to be on the last western street of the city, just about to throw the Ukrainians on the lawn, Ukrainians report that they have taken back more than a quarter of the city in the last 24 hours…
Clearly, there is no alternative but to wait for developments. I don’t trust anyone anymore.
Each side uses Ipso to demoralize the opponent.
This is how Russia declared that they first k__led Zaluzhny and Syrskyi, and two days later they already say that Zelenskyi took them into custody for not following his orders.
This is how the topic was inflated into mass media at the expense of damage or destruction of the Patriot air defense system that reached the White House.
The White House cannot confirm the information that the Patriot was damaged in Ukraine - representative of the White House Council on National Security - Kirby
