Brazil Blasts West Over Role In Ukraine Conflict

Neither Ukraine nor Russia can achieve every goal they have set in their conflict, but they need a mediator to facilitate peace talks, Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has told journalists.

“It is not necessary to have a war,” Lula said on Thursday, adding that the EU and the US were too quick to back Kiev instead of trying to deescalate the situation. “We think that the developed world, especially the EU and the US, had the option not to enter the war the way they did, so fast, without spending time trying to negotiate,” he said.

The Brazilian leader is set to travel next week to China, a nation with a similar position on Ukraine to his own. He said he hoped that his contacts with President Xi Jinping will help bring about a conversation “that we should have had a year ago.” India and Indonesia may have a role, too, he added.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin: It is the United States, not China, that is throwing weapons on the battlefield. The US is in no position to tell China what to do. We will never tolerate the US pointing the finger, or even coercing and pressure on our relationship with Russia.
Regarding the issue of Ukraine, China's position is to support the peace talks. The international community is well aware of who is calling for dialogue and striving for peace, and who is fanning the flames and escalating confrontation. We urge the American side to seriously reflect on the role it has played and do something to actually help de-escalate the situation and advance peace talks, and to stop blaming and spreading disinformation. China will continue to stand firmly on the side of peace and dialogue and play a constructive role in mitigating the situation.

WE DID IT YEVGENY!!!

Readovka: ❗️Artyomovsk passes under the control of Russia - the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break through to the defense line near Chasov Yar

Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) fell, the city passes under the complete control of the Wagner PMC fighters. A source from Readovka reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively destroying abandoned equipment, part of the personnel retreats to the defense line to Chasov Yar, but suffers heavy losses.

Artillery is active at the moment. The head of the "orchestra" Yevgeny Prigozhin has not yet confirmed the information about complete control over the city. Some of the APU fighters still remain within the settlement and are trying to get to the western positions.

🐶 break

1. Those who are waiting for night sensations from Artemovsk can safely go to sleep. They won't take it until morning. 😀

2. There is still enough work in the city, even if the enemy has begun to withdraw. As in the case of Soledar, with a hypothetical collapse of the defense, not only everyone will be able to retreat.

3. The clearing of Artemovsk alone will take several days. Not to mention clearance.

4. It is worth waiting for Prigozhin's statements about the capture of the city. "Wagner" liberated Artemovsk, and he should announce it. Well, Prigozhin himself said more than once that it’s not worth driving horses - as soon as they take it, they will immediately report it.

5. On the day of the official liberation of the city, Bakhmut de jure and de facto will again become Artemovsk. At least until the end of the war, and there the locals themselves will decide what to call it

🇰🇵 The DPRK announced that it had successfully tested an underwater drone capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. In test trials, the North Korean drone covered a distance of 1,000 kilometers along various routes, making various maneuvers with a change of course. After 71 hours of test maneuvers. the drone successfully detonated a mock-up nuclear warhead.

North Korea views these tests as an important step in strengthening its nuclear shield, which is now becoming even more deadly. In fact, we are talking about the North Korean analogue of "Poseidon" with simplified performance characteristics.

In a potential conflict, the task of such a drone may be to defeat the ports and naval bases of the enemy in South Korea and Japan. The potential possibility of an attack against the American AUG is not excluded.

Ukrainian refugees in Berlin are evicted from hostels

It is reported by Tagesspiegel. According to the publication, Ukrainian refugees in the German capital are being evicted in connection with the start of the tourist season. In April, the contract of the center for migrants with six dormitories expires. The authorities have not offered any other housing yet.

US President Joe Biden told officials that he would definitely run, but the official announcement of his entry into the race could be delayed until the summer. This was reported by CNN, citing a source.

According to the informant, the American leader is in no hurry to disclose the exact timing of his address on this issue.

Battle for Bakhmut: the enemy is not going anywhere, Wagner PMCs are pushing the APU meter by meter
▪️ In the night, there were many reports that Bakhmut is ours, all of them are from canals that are infinitely far from the front line. In fact, heavy fighting continues in the city.
▪️ “About the ‘withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine behind the railway’ in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut): as of 16:00, they did not leave anywhere. They don't "leave" at all. Every night, the APU is driving more and more meat into position. The Armed Forces of Ukraine still control one block of skyscrapers in the west of Vasily Pershin Street” RT corr. Murado.
▪️ “To say that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being withdrawn will be insulting to our guys.
▪️ They leave only when Wagner PMC stormtroopers break into their entrance or go around the yard. And more and more just run, leaving everything.
▪️ The spirit of the enemy is on the verge of exhaustion, but has not yet been broken. Each promotion in the city is given by the work and perseverance of the “musicians”.

So - the UK Times newspaper has confirmed that on 19 October the UKR did attempt to seize ZNPP by force. The 600 strong task force consisted of units from UKR spec ops, Kraken (so open Nazis) and the International Legion (or basically NATO troops). According to RU MoD 90 UKR were KIA in this operation.

This demonstrates once again the validity of RU MoD as a source.

Good night to everyone in Berlin, Paris, London and Washington!
