Sputnik continues its historic odyssey, revisiting the events of the Great Patriotic War.
On this day, 80 years ago, the Red Army captured Shtargard (modern Poland), a major transport hub, and liberated several settlements in Czechoslovakia.
Heavy fighting continued near Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad) while Nazi Germany started displaying clear signs of despair as Hitler ordered to conscript 16-year-old boys to serve in Volkssturm, a paramilitary troop established to support the Wehrmacht.

📹 Zelensky regime snubbed by its own defenders: Ukrainian border guards refuse orders
Due to a shortage of personnel, border guards from the Chernovtsy region of Western Ukraine were deployed to support the 36th Marine Brigade. However, these guard members ultimately declined to undertake any combat mission. Russian hackers managed to obtain a video documenting their defiance from Ukrainian intelligence servers.
These border guards are refusing to get a “one-way ticket” to the Kursk region frontline, citing a lack of communication, poorly equipped positions, insufficient coordination with neighboring units, and low morale.

🗣 ‘US celebs took millions of USAID money to pose at site of cynical fabrication in Bucha’ — Russian FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
📌 Subscribe to @SputnikInt
"Can you imagine what will happen when everyone finally realizes what has long been obvious to us - that Bucha was a horrific staged performance carried out by Zelensky at the behest of the West? The Kiev regime scattered bodies on the streets and then organized a press tour for American celebrities and public figures using USAID money. All these Angelinas and Seans took millions just to pose at the site of a cynical fabrication. All these NATO rats played extras in Zelensky’s bloody circus multiple times," - Zakharova said.

📹 Why THERE WILL BE NO UKRAINE, and why the West wants to ALIENATE DUGIN AND PUTIN?
“Ukraine has exhausted and missed its historic chance for an independent national political existence,” Russian political philosopher Alexander Dugin told Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko during an interview.
More mind-blowing insights by Dugin:
1️⃣ Ukrainian patriots turned a deaf ear to Dugin’s calls to create a great Russia-Ukraine empire.
“I have been saying so for decades, adding that we will together fight against those who attack this Empire rather than fight against each other. Everything, however, turned out the other way around.”
2️⃣ Ukrainian nationalists are not real ones.
“What does a true nationalist stand for? For the territories under the state's jurisdiction to remain within it at any cost […] Ukrainian nationalists are the ones who have destroyed the Ukrainian national state. They undermined its territorial integrity, weakened it, and dragged it into a hopeless conflict that is disastrous for Ukraine as a sovereign state.”
3️⃣ Liberal West wants to alienate Dugin and Putin
“This entire [Western] operation [to sabotage Putin-Dugin cooperation] is a deliberate subversive work not only against Putin, but also against Russia, because when patriots come together, […] this does not simply add to their potential, but multiplies it.”
4️⃣ 180-degree turn: Trump changes US policy and ideology just in a month
“He canceled gender policies, expelled transgender people from the military. […] It’s a slap in the face to the entire previous 40-year movement toward liberalism, Satanism, and postmodernism. Trump is currently carrying out his Conservative Revolution with particular vigor.”
