“Every time you pack up before a trip, you think… 'Maybe this will be the last time? How many times can I get lucky?’ How many times do you get to slip by, just a minute or 30 seconds before it happens?” says Murad Gazdiev, a war correspondent, famous for his reports from the most dangerous hot zones in Syria and Donbass. Filming under fire offers no second chances to remake footage, this is why only the most experienced journalists become war correspondents. The documentary captures their everyday life in Donbass.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Artyomovsk Direction - Situation in the Morning of 22. Jan 2023; by YURI⚡️

♦️ Here, as yesterday, our pressure to the south of the city in the direction of #Krasnoye continues to intensify.

🔹 Yesterday the Wagner PMCs occupied several more enemy strongholds in the direction of this settlement, and apparently today this movement will continue. All the more so, the consequences from #Zaporozhye direction are already playing into our hands, where the enemy has already been forced to transfer reserves even from the north #Donbass front.

🔹 North of the city, stubborn fighting for control of #Paraskovievka (the most important road junction) continues.

🔹 Also, headquarters and all sorts of "logistics" are gradually being withdrawn from the town, which suggests that the AFU command is preparing for further territorial losses and is not particularly optimistic about retaining the town.

📌 For now it can only try to hold back our offensive in the hope that the crisis in the south will not be large-scale and this will generally allow it to retreat in an orderly manner to new lines east of #Slavyansk and #Kramatorsk and to hold Chasov Yar.

⚡️🇷🇺🇩🇪🇺🇦 On the Use of German AT2 Mines by Ukrainian Formations⚡️

In the #Liman area west of #Kremennaya, Russian sappers discovered AT2 anti-tank mines, probably remotely mounted from a MARS II multiple rocket launcher system.

The modification of the ammunition looks rather curious: judging by the photo, it is DM1443, the information about the characteristics of which is practically not available in open sources. It is highly likely that the find is the latest development of the German military.

The shipment of these mines can be associated either with the depletion of AT2 stocks in #Germany, or with the desire to test new products in combat conditions used in unified MLRS MFOM shells.

At least 28 AT2 mines can be placed in the warhead of such a missile, while the main body is occupied by a shaped charge of 907 g of explosive with a penetration of about 140 mm of armor.

A characteristic feature of these mines is the presence of a flexible metal antenna raised 70 cm off the ground. It acts as a sensor and is triggered when the antenna is moved to a certain angle.

🔻 Previously, the media only reported on the production of AT2 mines in variants DM1233/1274/1399. The difference between them is in the simultaneous number of AT2s deployed, the dispersion area and the range. The use of the DM1399 variant by the AFU is also reliably known. Last week, Ukrainian formations bombarded residential areas of #Donetsk with them.

Formally, the mines are anti-tank, but because of the sensitivity of the sensors they can also be triggered by humans. This effectively equates them with anti-personnel mines, which is banned by the #Ottawa Convention, which #Germany legally abides by.

Expecting an immediate end to the use of banned weapons against civilians in #Donbass is pointless. The bias of international organisations is no secret to anyone, and they have little real power.

This, in fact, is confirmed by the active production of anti-personnel mines by the German military industry.

❗️ Yevgeny Prigozhin announced the control of the PMC "Wagner" of the fortified area "Gnezdo" in Bakhmut.

The Domino fortified area and a private sector area with a total area of 1.46 km remain under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Following the 2nd Day of the Battle near #Belgorod, the #US began to change their Shoes in the Air⚡️

💬 The Head of the Press Service of the US Department of State, Matthew Miller, said at a regular briefing that #US authorities "doubt the veracity of reports" that Ukrainian saboteurs had used US-provided weapons during a sortie in the Belgorod Region.

❗️Then an even more amusing Report emerged, the Pentagon said it did not approve the transfer of equipment supplied to #Ukraine to a third party, and Kiev had not requested it.

▪️ At first Washington was silent for 24 hours, observing the situation. When it became clear that #Russia was once again losing in the information space and that the military's sortie was having a positive propaganda effect, Miller burst into a post about that "Ukraine decides for itself how to conduct hostilities".

▪️ Exactly three days earlier, the State Department's official Russian account had bravado: The RF Armed Forces are "suffering defeats at every level" and #Russia's "credibility on the international stage has been undermined."

📌 However, as soon as it became clear that the attack by Ukrainian saboteurs had been thwarted, and not at all parade photos of abandoned US equipment (very reminiscent of pictures of Americans fleeing #Afghanistan) appeared on the web, the State Department rhetoric changed dramatically to "this is not our weaponry".

It is one thing for Ukrainian troops to win tactical victories in the #Donbass, but quite another for #US equipment to be used to raid #Russia's "internationally recognised" borders. Republicans are already clinging to this, and voters will have a hard time explaining such irrational use of equipment.
