▪️Units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, continuing the offensive, reached the border of Vodyanoe, Sladkoe, Stepnoe, Taramchuk and Slavnoye. The advance per day was 11 kilometers.
▪️The grouping of troops of the Lugansk People’s Republic, having previously blocked Severodonetsk from the eastern and southern directions, is fighting against nationalists on the northeastern outskirts of the city.
▪️💥During the night of March 14, 4 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, including иBayraktar TB-2, were shot down by aviation and air defence of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
✈️💥Operational-tactical, army and unmanned aviation hit 46 military infrastructure assets of Ukraine, including: 2 command posts, 1 Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system, 1 guidance and target designation radar station, 2 MLRS, 2 electronic warfare stations, 2 ammunition and fuel depots, 31 areas of military equipment concentration.
💥In total, during the operation, 3,920 objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine were disabled.
💥Destroyed: 143 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,267 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 124 multiple launch rocket systems, 457 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,028 units of special military vehicles.
❗️Statement by Russian Defence Ministry
▪️ On March 14, at about 11.30 a.m. Moscow time, Tochka-U tactical missile was fired at a residential block of Donetsk city from the territory controlled by the Kiev nationalist regime.
▪️ The shelling of the city was carried out from the north-western direction, from the area of Krasnoarmeysk settlement, which is controlled by Ukrainian nationalist units.
▪️ As a result of the explosion of a cluster warhead in the center of Donetsk, 20 civilians were killed. Another 28 people, including children, were seriously injured and taken to medical institutions.
▪️ The use of such weapons on a town with no armed forces firing positions, i.e. deliberately targeting civilians, is a war crime.
▪️ The armament of Tochka-U missile’ warhead with cluster ammunition proves that the purpose of the nationalists’ strike on the city was to kill as many civilians as possible.
❗️I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the decision to use this type of missile weapons is made, at least, by the command of the Ukrainian grouping of troops, after approval by the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kiev.
▪️ All this once again confirms the Nazi and anti-human nature of the ruling regime in Ukraine today.
“All this once again confirms the Nazi and anti-human nature of the ruling regime in Ukraine today.”
Along with most of the zio-west that supports them and their massas’ in israel.

KYIV’S FORCES LAUNCH BALLISTIC MISSILE AT CENTER OF DONETSK CITY. DOZENS CIVILIANS KILLED OR INJURED

The enemy of our enemies is Putin.
What the Anglo Saxon Jewish Empire is doing in Ukraine is shameful. This is serious: The US is going to Western countries to hire mercenaries. This Brazilian shooting instructor from the Ukrainian region of Brazil, said he received a mysterious call, and was invited to fight in Ukraine. He was at the base that received the missiles from Russia, and he said they all died.
The American Empire is determined to kill people in Ukraine https://youtu.be/8wEvj2uuB_8
Kiev forces are desperate and doing madness, like suicide bombers, they are shamefully attacking Donbass. The empire dominated countries, with puppets, and doing great brainwashing. Why the US, when dominating and colonizing countries, in most countries puts women with short hair and masculine appearance in the lead? Is it an attempt to sweeten the conquered peoples? This tactic also makes the country conquered in feminine people. The empire of lies came out of Afghanistan determined to deal with Ukraine and Taiwan, so more conflicts will come this year. The empire is not dead as many thought. The empire still has blood in its veins, and is determined to go to any lengths to achieve its goals. We live in pitiful days!

Latest news from Sputnik’s Live Updates:
“US-Made Lethal Weapons Found in Donbass Town as Ukrainian Nationalists Flee – DPR
US-made anti-tank missile systems were found at the abandoned positions of Ukrainian nationalists who were driven out of Volnovakha in the Donetsk region, said Yan Gagin, an adviser to the head of the government of the Donetsk People’s Republic.”
“Venezuela Condemns Western Sanctions Against Russia
Venezuela condemns Western sanctions against Russia and denounces attempts to cancel the Russian culture worldwide, Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia said.
“We are here today to raise our voices against sanctions targeting the Russian people and the Russian government,” he said on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Turkey.
Plasencia added that sanctions piled on Russia after it launched a special military operation in Ukraine were illegal and ran counter to the UN Charter.
The diplomat said he was appalled and disgusted by restrictions on the Russian culture and language and called them a xenophobic act that Venezuela “condemns in the strongest terms.”
Berlin Says it Will Stop Publicly Informing About Details of Supply of Weapons to Ukraine for Security Reasons
“Germany will stop informing public about the details of weapon supplies to Ukraine for security reasons amid Russia’s military operation, German government spokesman Wolfgang Buechner said on Monday.”
IE on the latter, germany supplying weapons to nazis does not look good pr wise and is best kept out of public view in the western zombielands.
re. ze Germans & weapons supplies:
Just like they supplied weapons to the Croatian Ustashe not only during the conflict in Yugoslavia in the 90’s but long long before, in preparation.
It was the German secret service apparently that was heavily involved there.
It puts the Ukrainian SBU in perspective – as well as the CIA.
You have to stop & pinch yourself – isn’t WW2 over? Isn’t all this “Nazi stuff” a thing of the past?
Apparently it is not.
About CIA involvement in the Ukraine – this guy wrote a book on it:

…germany supplying weapons to nazis does not look good…..
How so? It’s strictly a family business, brother to brother. We’re always supporting those, dearest to us.
Doesn’t include critical citizens,though.
When a Major power during a war effort does not even bother to lie to you – what does that tell you?
It tells You, that You do not matter.
Not mine – get used to it…
This is sickening. Their fate is already sealed, but they still want to kill as many people as possible and western media are turning heads away. I hope that they will soon meet up with Russian missiles.
Good Morning Saker.
Very strange to be in the dark with RT unavailable to me for the past week, not that it is that great but I cannot stomach western corporate media anymore. So thank you for the briefing. Your last point is true and I would argue that that “anti-human nature” extends well beyond Ukraine and extends westward across the Atlantic.
I read that NATO would be doing military drills today. They have become suicidal/homicidal for the greater bad.

IA Regnum (https://t.me/regnum_na) has reposted a screen shot with the following text:
“Ukraine was preparing for today’s provocation in downtown Donetsk.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian special services created a group of alleged “soldiers’ mothers” in Telegram. The group was stuffed with bots and invitations were scattered to other resources. The task of the group was to bring women to the center of the city to the government building by 12:00 today.
[text screenshot]
Завтра выходите в 12.00 на ОГА (бул. Пушкина, 34), все будем узнавать
Come tomorrow at 12:00 to the municipal building (34 Pushkin Blvd.), we’ll find out everything.
After this war crime, we have to (would. state that the Ukrainian armed forces’ strike with Tochka-U missiles with cluster munitions on the center of Donetsk was specifically timed to coincide with the start of video talks between Moscow and Kiev. The logic of the bogeymen. But nothing, we will only clench our teeth tighter and strangle this neo-Nazi scum in its lair. Their time will come to answer for ALL the crimes they have committed. Starting with Maidan and Odessa.”
If that is true – I’m not saying that it is – it is evil beyond words.
Frappa,
this is an age-old technique, used in WW2 and likely earlier. You bomb, wait 5-20 minutes for first-responders to gather, than bomb the same spot again in order to maximize casualties. It is part of Total War, without mercy or bounds.. It is nowadays referred to as double-tap bombing.. UkroNazis merely ape their instructors and “betters”

@ dave
Don’t bother with PSYOPS trash, you will never get to the bottom of the barrel. The Saker gave up on fighting PSYOPS fake news for a very good reason, mental sanity. We could fill the blog trying to debunk the mountain of lies they produce, better to focus on news and information you can confirm and verify.
Cheers.
Lone Wolf
Some people say thats a different girl,i don’t know.
It was reported somewhere in the U.S. media that the girl and the baby are alive and well. Good. We’re not in the business of killing women and unborn babies. The problem is that once a horrific event, even a false once, is reported, it doesn’t go away. It becomes peoples’ reality. It should just fade away but it does not. Psyops.
“❗️I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the decision to use this type of missile weapons is made, at least, by the command of the Ukrainian grouping of troops, after approval by the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kiev.”
A few more senior UkroNazis chalked up for war crimes trial.
It is time to realize that these Nazis are supported emboldened and funded by AZ Empire Neocons who reside in Washington DC
This will continue to happen until Neocons in Washington DC are driven from power. Acts of civil disobedience, citizen arrest, flushing these warmongers from the shadows. No revolution succeeds until significant part of internal ruling class apparatus defects. When foot soldiers of the ruling class defect, and ideological foundations are demolished, the empire is finished. We need to keep fighting and not give up. Things do not have to be this way.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead
Also remember that there is a competent leadership in Zone B, and they do not want the world to be destroyed. Smart leaders who learn from history, and I believe know exactly with what they are dealing with. There has been a talk of madmen at the help of the empires foreign policy to itch to start a war with Russia and China. True, however there also those who know the consequences. I cannot say how things will play out, and I am hoping for the best. There are plenty of people who do not want war, and do not want to see the world being destroyed due to greed of small minority of gangsters who live in London and Washington DC. Recall mid April 2018, when after false flag attack in Syria the empire went to attack a facility. People were expecting the worst, however fortunately we managed to avoid a world war. It shows that there people in power who understand the consequences, and are not suicidal. World is beautiful with lots of wonderful people, and this is what gives me hope. However the root cause must be confronted. It is not Biden Trump Hillary or Ukraine. These are mere symptoms, the root cause is lust for power by the neocons who need to be flushed out of shadows.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Thanks for reminding me of that quote. I try to tell people that hopeless and division are the weapons of the oppressor, that a better world doesn’t exist not because of the inherent failing of humanity but because a better world is impeded – with all the means and force available to the rulers and it has been that way since civilization started, that surplus value started to be extracted as wealth. You see the hopelessness instilled and peddled from birth in the news all over the West – that’s why they focus on the negatives, crime, violence, and hate in news media and movies, it’s not just because it sells, it’s to make you believe that in the end people suck and are hopeless. The protests and social unrest seen from 1945 to 1975 in the West happened at a time of rising economic expectations – a period of hope, that tomorrow will be better than today. That there is so little resistance to present injustices, no anti-war movement to be seen, is a reflection of collapsing expectations and hopelessness instilled by the neoliberal decline. Don’t let the bastards get you down, the people are all right.
Too terrible to hear the inhumane nature of killings by those nazis.. we can only think to feel the pain of the victims and their near and dear ones, but definitely their pains are far deeper than we can feel or imagine. Of course, there’s justice in the court of The Almighty, if not in this world. The punishment and pain these nazis will suffer in Hell would be thousands of times greater than any pain in this world.
Now these west hypocrites, will just easily pass on that same “war crime” blame on to Russia’s head and will also drum-beat the same notes in the now meaningless UN, UNSC, UNHRC.
“All this once again confirms the Nazi and anti-human nature of the ruling regime in Ukraine today.”
I saw a short video today on Colonel Cassad in Telegram where a DNR officer points to the remains of an Ukranian soldier. He was wounded and thus executed by his fellow comrades when retreating.
These people really follow the motto “either our way and victory or death and destruction” and really don’t care about any consequences.
No wonder the ghastly images I saw on the first days when they undressed their dead fellows with Russian uniforms and took pics as if that was an Ukranian exploit so as to upload them in the web and get an informational advantage. They don’t respect the memories of their fallen fellows. Incredible.
Peter Hitchens:
“I cannot join in it. I know too much. I know that our policy of Nato expansion – which we had promised not to do and which we knew infuriated Russians – played its part in bringing about this crisis.
I know that Ukraine’s current government, now treated as if it was almost holy, was brought into being by a mob putsch openly backed by the USA in 2014.”

Not me too.
Wouldn’t it be high time to carpet bomb the positions of those scum of the earth?
Russia’s reputation in the West’s eyes is disastrous anway.
Russia spares civilians not because it worries about its reputation, but because it cares about the people.
Please consider the following.
1. “Ukraine” is being reported in the western MSM as currently winning a great victory over Russia (a “story” that can’t be maintained for much longer in the face of reality on the ground).
2. Yesterday Lindsey Graham is reported by Sputnik to have said to a Fox News CIA-stenographer/megaphone that
“I’m all in. I don’t want no boots on the ground, no-fly zone yet,” he stressed, before adding, however, that “if there are chemical weapons used by Putin, that’s a war crime, and then I support a no-fly zone.”
https://sputniknews.com/20220313/sen-graham-pledges-support-for-no-fly-zone-over-ukraine-if-chemical-weapons-used-1093838092.html
3. Victoria “F the EU” Nuland testified before congress a few days ago that if there is in the future a bio-weapon attack in Ukraine, she will (presumably, after a 1-second investigation has been completed by several intelligence agencies) be absolutely certain that Russia will be determined to have done it, and that Russia will have done this as a Hail Mary Pass to prevent its certain defeat in Ukraine.
Now, continuing the recent mathmatiical trend, I’d like readers to solve the following equation for humanity’s increasingly likely Future.
1 + 2 + 3 = F
First repeat the mantra that Russia is loosing the war because of stagnation.
Then repeat the mantra bio-weapons willbe used.
Then stage false flag.
Lindsey Graham is nuts. He should immediately check himself up in the nearest hospital with psychiatric ward.
This is how things will proceed from there:
No-fly zone -> direct confrontation with Russia -> World War III -> widescale nuclear confrontation -> small number of survivors, after short period of peace, will start fighting each other-> “Lawless one” will appear on the World stage and he will promise peace-> he will claim that he is a god, he will take the throne in Jerusalem and 3,5 years of total craziness will start -> Christ will step in, He will win and Earth will be destroyed. End of story.
I hope no one will listen advices from nutcase Graham and we will get at least couple extra years…
All these blowhard pols right or left are covering their flanks in primary elections, they are worried that any challengers no matter how lame or under funded can take them down with charges of being soft on Russia, Putin stooge, gutless, enabling evil, etc etc. Next election they have a unassailable wall around them: I shouted for a no-fly zone! I cried for maximum killing, pillaging, and looting! I screamed for a wall to wall splatter-fest!
That said, they could also sure as hell be death lusting psychopaths praying for nuclear war.
If all Westerners want to commit suicide, overdosing pills is way better. They don’t need to drag with them innocent people or folks from other continents, who don’t wish to see more than 10k nuclear warheades flying around.
This the advice, which I am giving to many of my friends and coworkers, who brag about assassination or direct involvment of NATO. Take the pills or find a rope and strong enough branch in the woods. Death from radiation is much more painful. Some of them, to my suprise, are waking up from psychodelic dream induced by Western media and insane politicians, who it seems have nothing to loose.
When you are demented, have no cards left to play, and only know to double-down, then a false flag followed by establishing a unicorn-colored “no-fly-zone” is a given. It is guaranteed.
However the real question is what will they do when those unicorn flying coffins get smacked by reality and start falling from the skies??
We are in for another Charge of the Light Brigade moment..
This is where the brinksmanship is headed.
Does the US Armed Forces have sufficient sane people who will do what they did in Vietnam? Back then when thousands of planes and rotary craft were lost to Soviet AD – they coughed, bit the bullet and got the hell outta Dodge.
I just wonder is it hype and wishful thinking but stock markets in Europe and U.S have recovered during the last 6 days very well. Perhaps too many investors have been lured to think it will be over very soon and good old days are here to come againg.
I have not seen this formally on a defense ministry briefing but there are wide reports (all reporting it is from the defense ministry as follows:
❗️❗️Information on evacuation from the Russian Defense Ministry
– The successful operation to unblock Mariupol made it possible to open humanitarian corridors for civilians from 3 p.m. today and begin mass evacuation of the population, which had been held hostage by the neo-Nazis for a long time
– For the evacuation of Mariupol residents, 4 convoys were formed with a total of 200 buses, 50 of which have already arrived in Mariupol. All Mariupol residents wishing to be evacuated will be taken to temporary accommodation facilities
– Truck convoys with humanitarian cargo have been dispatched. The first convoy has already arrived in Mariupol and delivered 450 tonnes of medicines, basic necessities and food, including baby food
– Russia is fulfilling its humanitarian commitments, with corridors opening for the 11th day in the Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv directions
– As a result of the successful operation to unblock the city, from 3 p.m. today humanitarian corridors have been opened for civilians to leave and mass evacuation of people held hostage by the neo-Nazis for a long time has begun
– The capacity of the border crossings in Ukraine is not ensured, thousands of cars are stuck in traffic jams, there is pandemonium and crush on the pedestrian crossings
– Civilian and foreign residents and foreigners can use the humanitarian corridors both in the Russian Federation and in the west through controlled areas
This is only one of the reports but Cassad (on his colonelcassad channel – not the boris_rozin channel which I did not check) also reports that Mariupol is unblocked and people are being evacuated.
believe the Chezens have been heavily deployed in this area….past masters of house to house fighting……
The genocidal war has come full circle.
In 2014 they bombed the Lugansk city hall, June 2, slaughtering people at break time outside and in the park right in front.
Today, Donetsk, the other capital, missile struck to kill civilians.
This is the ‘laughable’ (GermanPM Scholtz) genocide by the Ukies, armed and paid for by US, UK, Germany, France and the other degenerates of NATO and EU.
Germans don’t want to admit that they are being bullied by USA. First they opted for avoiding confrontation with Russia. They were against many of these sanctions and they have planned sending only helmets to Ukraine.
They don’t want to admit that Russia is a proud country, which can defend itself and refuse to bend a knee.
Maybe this accidental sinking of the ship with thousands of German cars destined to USA wasn’t… accident after all. Maybe it was some kind of reminder for Germans? Who knows?
It is disgusting and of course will not be reported by the Western media.
There does need to be a war crimes tribunal when this is all over and done with , and I want to see Western leaders charged with aiding and abetting war crimes
@ James McCumiskey
Never! See, it works like this: western bombs never kill civilians, neither do western small arms. And when western governments side with autocratic deplorables ie. House of Saud, then it’s fine when you bomb and maim across your borders. In fact they applaud you! If you do really well and order the killing of hundreds of people by USAF drones- they all come together and award you a Nobel Peace Prize.
84 countries invaded since 1945, they couldn’t wait for Ukraine to join Nato and then make it 85, but alas…’foreign policy’ came to an abrupt halt.
The problem is that it was reported by the MSM but they made the bombing sound like the Russian military caused it.
Very despicable act from the Nazis and fully covered up by MSM by way of omission of those responsible.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the order was given by the US in return for the Russians taking out the NATO training camp.
Gonzalo Lira https://youtu.be/IRJ4umS7dJA speaks to chemical false flag, which he is pretty sure is about to be staged. his station> https://t.me/s/realCRP
The secondary effects may be rather disagreeable…NATO may try R2P “No Fly Zone”… with the natural result of flamed aircraft and blasted airfields… and if the FF goes badly and hits the Russian Army with mass casualties…well the doctrine is public.
Is there not a “no fly ” zone in effect.The Russian will shoot down any aircraft over Ukraine air space.There is an armed conflict taking place,the combatants are Ukraine and Russia! So any aircraft in Ukie air space is either Ukie or Russian.The Russian owns that air space thus its already a “no fly’ zone.
Calls for NATO’s no-fly zone or assassination of president of nuclear super power are in fact outright calls for nuclear war.
These psychopaths or mentaly unstable clowns want nuclear winter for all of us to enjoy.
People, who still support above mentioned politicians, aren’t any better. Were there any sanctions for Prozac lately???
Yes, gentlemen, I agree. Obviously if NATO or anybody else flies over 404 they’ll be fat targets…that was my point. One ought to remember how fear and panic cloud the judgement of the intrepid leaders, and how evil appears as good in the minds of men the gods select for destruction. It;s obvious that some people want a nuclear war…they’re crazy, but that’s what they want…and they may get it. They seem to be quite keen on it.
“For the evacuation of Mariupol residents, 4 convoys were formed with a total of 200 buses, 50 of which have already arrived in Mariupol. All Mariupol residents wishing to be evacuated will be taken to temporary accommodation facilities”
Hope so but i’m sceptic. Perhaps there’s some area mopped up and Nazis on ground floor. This relief however may not live long.
I am worried about Mariupol. Hundreds of Russian soldiers and thousands of soldiers will die and the city will be totally destroyed by the time the last Azov fighter has been killed or captured.
When Russia fought in Syria it would have handled a situation like this in a different way: it would have offered the hostile fighters a bus ride to somewhere else. The big question is why Russia doesn’t do that in Mariupol.
Sure, Azov fighters are nasty, but so is ISIS. And the advantages of such an approach are many while the disadvantages are small. Offering Azov a way out means that soldiers can be moved elsewhere so that the army will advance faster. The city won’t face further destruction and thousands of lives are saved.
Of course some of the Azov guys will start fighting again elsewhere. But part of them will have enough after this near death experience and quit.Their standing among the rest of Ukrainian army will sink as their image as the fearless heroes is damaged. It might also help to decrease their influence on the government. The faster advance of the Russian army will have a discouraging effect on other Ukrainian fighters.
At the beginning of this was Russia was aware that every dead Ukrainian soldier will be a source of hatred against Russia later on. So Ukrainian casualties were avoided. But now the opposite approach seems to be taken. Cauldrons are formed and the way they are planned to be finished is far from nice. Offereing those soldiers a way out would in the long work out better.
Much of what I hear at pro-Russian sources about Azov and the other right extremist groups in Ukraine shows a deep hatred. But hate is a bad advisor. There was a reason why this approach worked in Syria. Fallen heroes become martyrs and that encourages others to join. Having had to accept mercy takes the aura of invulnerability away.
First news from the city that the spetznaz have captured the center and are doing the evacuation of the citizens. May be you’re misreading the situation a tad too much at the moment. Remember there is a fog of war…
I do not recall that the Russians provided buses to allow any ISIS to depart in safety. The buses were laid on for the 700 or so regulars and mercenaries from the US, UK and France who were caught and surrendered. As they surrendered, they were treated as Prisoners of War. So the process is logical from a military point of view. It also created maximum embarrassment for the western governments.
The mercenaries of ISIS were treated in a different manner.
You also have to take into account the nuance that the Russians are doing a clean-up in the Ukraine after a long period of provocations, so they know exactly what they need to do with each type of group – be it NATO advisors/ NATO supported mercenary / Ukie Regular / Azov members / criminals-on-the-run. This is not a game where the Russians accept a whack-a-mole future. This is a long term settlement on Russian terms, with full house-clearance of the areas where the Russians intend to have long term direct control.
Here is another nice report from liberated citizens of a village near Mariupol, praising the Russian approach to capturing cities, and commenting on how well they have been treated.
Many ethnic Greeks suffered at the hands of Azov Battalion members. This is also reported.
https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/12/greeks-in-mariupol/
“Israel will not be a route to bypass sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other Western countries. The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating the issue together with partners, including the Bank of Israel, the Finance Ministry, the Economy Ministry, the Airports Authority, the Energy Ministry, and others,” Lapid said on Twitter.”
Israel Rules Out Providing ‘Route to Bypass Sanctions’ Imposed on Russia
https://sputniknews.com/20220314/israel-rules-out-providing-route-to-bypass-sanctions-imposed-on-russia-1093865749.html
The zionazis in charge of this war against Russia are being duplicitous here, as their usual. They no doubt will be aiding their assets in Russia, while continuing their attack on the Russian people and government.
The “journalist” who was allegedly killed near Kiev was a deep-cover CIA/Mossad asset who worked in Iraqi Kurdistan as part of operations vs. Iran. Note the possible connection between this and the recent IRGC ballistic-missile attack on key Israeli facilities in Iraqi Kurdistan, along with the coordination of Russian and Iranian activities vis-à-vis Turkey and Azerbaijan. Russia and Iran are now more fully aligned than ever before at a critical moment.
The current round of the Ukrainian Civil War has not yet reached the level of violence and killing as the 2014-15 round.
Lostarmour.info has a very reliable database of armor losses in 21st century wars. They started with Donbass, but now also cover other conflicts. As of today there are 3186 items from Iraq, 2113 from Yemen, 1972 from Syria, 1095 from Afghanistan, 1060 from Libya and so on.
As of February 12 there were 1502 pieces of armor listed, of which 1110 were totally destroyed and 392 taken as trophies by the other side. (In most cases by the Novorossiyan Armed Forces.)
In the last 30 days 427 items have been added, of which 295 have been destroyed and 132 taken as trophies. This number however excludes all Russian losses, which “will be published after the conflict”. (NAF losses are included.)
I have not been following pro-Ukrainian channels, so I have no idea of alleged Russian losses. No doubt they are alleged to be “huge”. For confirmation we need geolocated photographic evidence from real, non-fake sources. The real videos of Russian losses I have seen mainly show attacks on soft targets like trucks and supply convoys. Very little destroyed armor. Ukraine has some trophies, tanks abandoned because of lack of fuel or something. A Pantsir with a broken wheel set on fire by peasants.
According to official UN numbers, in the 8 years of war until this February there had been 16,000 killed. Of these at least 4,000 were civilians. (My estimate is that the real number of casualties may be over 40,000.)
Russian sources now claim that the Ukrainian army has lost over 8,000 men killed. On March 2 Russia acknowledged 498 killed on their side.
Civilians killed amount to 500 or more. Taking into account the 20 civilians killed in Donetsk today, the number of civilians killed by Ukrainian shelling in the old territory of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics is nearly 100. There may also be a large number of civilians killed in the “newly liberated” areas. These are mostly unaccounted for so far.
At this stage, the Ukrainian regime and its Anglo-Zionist backers are facing an existential and imminent defeat.
Furthermore, too many powerful interests need World War III as part of the Great (Socioeconomic) Reset.
Expect a large-scale false flag involving WMD (likely either nuclear or chemical or both) that is expected to:
a) be blamed on Russia;
b) precipitate the declaration of a “no-fly zone”;
c) ignite World War III
The false-flag “drone attack” on Croatia was an attempt to ready NATO defences for the full introduction of Russia’s main forces following the imminent false-flag incident in Ukraine.
Once the false flag occurs and NATO attempts to impose the “no-fly zone,” Russia’s predictable attack on NATO facilities within AND (note!) without Ukraine will be used to trigger Article V.
The deep-state minority has set everything in motion and will force its unwitting subordinates to carry out a suicidal “response” to the upcoming false-flag incident.
Get ready.
I would like to point your attention to a quite significant article by our Joint Chief of Staff Thierry Burkhard. Since the beginning of the conflict he has rarely expressed himself publicly, but his assessment of the Ukrainian chances have never been high and now they are quite bleak.
https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/le-general-burkhard-craint-un-effondrement-soudain-des-forces-ukrainiennes-20220311
In english : he fears “a sudden collapse of the Ukrainian forces”. This is in a letter he wrote to all the French general officers. His assessment is that the ukies have no operative reserves and are stretched to the limit.
This is quite ominous as Burkhard is really the top commander in France. Of course he has to follow the political leadership but I believe his view reflects opinion of the French military establishment, and they don’t give much of a chance to the Ukies. I consider this as pretty strong evidence.
I do not understand why FSB is not able to locate Zelensky and capture him at the earliest
He continue to roam freely and provide soundbites
the MSM will have a meltdown once he is gone..
I could not read the article, because it is behind a paywall. If we assume that 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers equipped with automatic weapons and anti-tank missiles hunker down in high rise blocks and cellars across Kiew, as a complete layman I would guess the attacker would require at least 40,000 soldiers on the ground to overcome this force. For as long as the Ukraine’s political leadership refuses to surrender and these men have enough food and can perhaps even smuggle in some supplies, I don’t see how a siege pf Kiev would end quickly. Russia has not allocated enough forces to lay siege to, say, Ukraine’s ten largest cities simultaneously.
Can somebody explain my what Putin’s calculus or objective is? Destroy the Ukrainian army as an organized fighting force, force Ukraine to sign a peace treaty that will make them a pledge to refrain from joining NATO? What if Ukrainians, embittered by the war experience, vote for a politicians who promises to tear to shreds such an agreement in a few years? Just a honest question by someone who is following these sad events, no offence intended.
I read in the Polish press that something sinister is starting to happen there. The Polish regime wants to pass legislation that gives ukrainian migrants-or squatters, benefits and privileges that an ordinary Pole can only dream about. ukrainians are being given priority in schools, employment, housing, and social benefits.
The Polish social insurance company, ZUS, wih a wink and a nod is even encouraging ukrainian squatters to break into empty homes and take them over, if they ‘don’t see curtains in the windows of apartments.’
REAL patriotic Poles (non-Russophobes) have been warning about their displacement with ukrainian banderites for years. Now, it is happening. There is a precedent, where after Operation Vistula in 1946 when the Polish Peoples’ army with the Soviets rooted out and exterminated the UPA OUN gangs. They relocated 100K or so ukies to parts of Poland. They have been getting quite uppity for the last 8 years. We may see ethnic tensions and even unrest appear in Poland in the next few years.
But such is the result of bad policies and cowardice.
Some of these numbers in the Defense Ministry report are difficult to believe. One, in particular jumps out: 1267 tanks destroyed in a 24 hour period. That exceeds by a factor of two single day German losses at the battle of Kusk in 1943. This battle is considered the largest ever tank battle. Are these numbers really daily counts ?.
That is not a daily total. That is the total for the entire operation to date.
more citizens here in the U.K. are waking up to the propaganda war by our own government.
The truth is being spread by many of us.
Stay strong Russian friends, we know what the MSM are doing.
Thank you Saker for your wonderful site.
I do not normally comment on the internet .However I am of Greco Roman descent and Christened Greek Orthodox . I grew up with Ukrainian and Russian family friends here in the UK during the 50’s and 60’s . I am disgusted at the sheer visceral desperate hate the people here in the UK are revealing and projecting towards the Russians ; most British people have never met or interfaced with Russian and or Slavic people and what their historical foundations are . No insight no questioning as to the validity or otherwise of the ‘other side’ and it’s motivation to act in defense of valid security and cultural interests . The spineless weazel politicians of the EU have dropped their mask ; they cannot see the American motivation and their desire to cause a massive irretrievable poltical economic chasm utilising demonising psyops ; but what is really depressing the ease of susceptibility to these messaging techniques etc. I feel a deep physical and emotional revulsion as to what is going on .
Russia is the only country on the world that can clean up our planet from all kind of western impurity and make the world a respectful and an honorable place for every human being indiscriminately, like for example child abuse, unprecedented brutal massacres like in Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, irak, libya, you name it.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry
▪ Units of the Russian Armed Forces, continuing the offensive, captured Stepnoye.
▪ The grouping of troops of the Lugansk People’s Republic is continuing the offensive in the north-eastern districts of Severodonetsk city.
▪ On the morning of March 14, high-precision long-range weapons attacked Ukraine’s military infrastructure.
💥 As a result of the strike, communication, retransmission and switching hubs were disabled in Fedorovka, Vinarovka, Antopol. In addition, a large ammunition depot for multiple launch rocket systems was destroyed on the territory of Antonov plant near Kiev, from the sites of which Russian troops were fired at.
💥 On the afternoon of March 14, the air defence of the Russian Aerospace Forces shot down, 2 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, including 1 Bayraktar TB-2.
✈💥 Operational-tactical, army and unmanned aviation hit 86 military infrastructure assets of Ukraine, including: 4 command posts and communication centres, 3 anti-aircraft missile systems, 1 radar station, 1 electronic warfare station, 3 ammunition and fuel depots and 68 areas of military equipment concentration.
💥 In total, 145 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1,298 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 124 multiple launch rocket systems, 469 field artillery and mortars, as well as 1,047 units of special military vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed during the operation.
▪ The Kiev regime continues to use terror tactics, using the most destructive types of weapons against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Earlier, we brought information about the consequences of today’s strike of the Ukrainian tactical missile Tochka-U with cluster munitions on a densely populated block of Donetsk.
In response to these actions, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take prompt measures to disable the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine engaged in the production, repair and restoration of weapons that nationalists use to commit war crimes.
We urge Ukrainian citizens working at these enterprises, as well as residents of nearby residential buildings, to leave potentially dangerous areas.
▪ A number of Western countries at the state level encourage the participation of their citizens as mercenaries of Ukraine in hostilities against units of the Russian troops. All responsibility for the death of this category of foreign citizens in Ukraine lies on just the leadership of these countries.
We know all the locations of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine. They will continue to be targeted, similar to the destruction of training centres at Yavorovsky training ground in Starichi on March 13.
I want to warn you again – there will be no mercy for mercenaries, no matter where they are on the territory of Ukraine.

🗓The main for today
▪️From the territory controlled by Kiev nationalist regime, Tochka-U tactical missile was launched at a residential area of Donetsk. 20 civilians were killed, 28 more people, including children, were injured.
▪️In response to the attack on Donetsk, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take prompt measures to disable the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine.
▪️Ukrainians held by nationalists seek protection from the Russian Federation.
Russian servicemen continue to carry out their assigned tasks.
The daily early morning broadcast of Vesti in Japan was discontinued as of Tuesday morning, so Japan no longer hears the other side of the story. Given Japan’s occupation by the Hegemon, I’m surprised they were allowed to continue this long, but I still take it as a bad sign regarding Japan’s intentions for involvement in a war.
NHK (I think–I don’t operate the remote control or the TV would be permanently off) reported the use of cluster bombs in Ukraine, leaving people to infer it was Russia using them. I suppose they don’t need a new nerve gas incident to go howling about the dire need to protect innocent people, but if Ukraine runs out of cluster ammunition, that could change.
I hear during Soviet times, people became well versed at interpreting the news. Now it’s the West’s turn to learn the fine art of propaganda divination. I’m glad we still have access to The Saker here, and if we lose access, I’ll keep up the faith.
Amen!
Putin and his military people is doing a great job and care about Russia and the overall world and geo-political situation.
It is the EU US UK & NATO and UKN Z Hijackers who do not and are trying destablize the situation.
Their aim is what has always been to take over Russia and steal its resources and in the process mistreat the people there.
Russia must stand firm and see this thru.
And as I have said in other comments on the Saker akey way ton win this war is to engage in the PR campaign to Ukrainians explaining the extreme danger to them of allowing the EU devils to control their country.
The MoD also released a statement saying the following. Note the line about knowing where all the foreign mercenaries are.
