Yesterday we learned of a successful HIMARS strike on a Russian troop concentration in the Donetsk area. It was at a converted technical school in the town of Makeevka. Depending on who you read, how high the casualties were.

It’s the reaction in the Russian information space that is remarkable. Understand, over the last hours of 2022 and the first of 2023, they systematically launched missile and drone strikes on Ukraine. They are trying to break the will of Ukrainians to fight.

So when the strike came through, Russians called this a tragedy. This is but one example from January First:

On Makiivka briefly. (Russian spelling)
Each state of emergency has a name, surname, patronymic and position.

For the 10th month of the war, it is dangerous and criminal to consider the enemy a fool who does not see anything.

Placing personnel anywhere, in buildings instead of placing them in shelters, is direct assistance to the enemy.

Our President has repeatedly said that saving people is the highest priority. This also applies to war. More precisely, fighting in the first place. Every soldier and officer is important, the life of every soldier is of great value. With the “women give birth to new” approach, not only will we not win, we will generally see gloomy prospects.
