⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts for the Evening of 19 February 2024; pub. 00:04⚡️
🇷🇺 #Avdeyevka is so full that there is no one to take away the fallen “Azovites”. Corpses under the snow, corpses on the road, corpses in basements and fortifications. At 404 they decided that there was no need to take anyone away. But this is not news for us for a long time. Russian soldiers bury the AFU, unlike their “brothers.” This is a reminder to the whole world that we do not abandon not only our own.
⚔️ Situation on the Fronts over the past Day
🔻#Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) Direction:
▪️ The Russian Army continues to gradually advance at #Bogdanovka and #Krasnoye. There is no change in the #Kleshcheyevka area, fighting is going on.
🔻#Donetsk Direction:
▪️ In the #Avdeyevks sector, Russian soldiers are attacking #Lastochkino, ours are on the eastern outskirts, and part of the village is in the grey zone. Coke Plant has been finally cleaned up. There are battles in #Pervomayskoye.
▪️ In the #Maryinka sector, battles for #Georgiyevka.
🔻#Zaporozhye Direction:
▪️ In the #Orekhov section, our fighters made significant progress near #Rabotino, but it is still too early to talk about taking the settlement. In addition, the Russian Army gained a foothold to the west of #Verbovoye.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #SouthDonetsk Direction until the End of 19 February 2024⚡️
🔹 Russian Troops continue to develop their offensive.
❗️Increasing efforts in this area is critical both to relieve pressure on the Russian group advancing on #Georgiyevka and #Kurakhovo, and to cut communications of Ukrainian formations northeast of the long suffering #Ugledar.
🔹On the northern flank, units of the 20 Motorised Rifle Division managed to reach the eastern outskirts of the #Pobeda village after several days of heavy fighting. A part of the village southeast of the O0532 motorway came under the control of Russian forces.
▪️ The assault groups advanced with the support of tanks and heavy flamethrower systems.
▪️ The Ukrainian formations do not reduce the onslaught and are trying to squeeze Russian troops out of the occupied farm, actively counterattacking from #Konstantinovka, a major AFU defence hub in the #SouthDonetsk direction. Tanks are also involved there. As @rusvarg reports, at least one German Leopard was destroyed.
▪️ Counter fighting continues in the central area in #Novomikhailovka. Russian troops have captured the fourth part of the village and are trying to advance towards the center of the settlement, inflicting fire damage on administrative buildings where the enemy is holed up.
🔹To the south, incessant attempts are being made from the #Sladskoye side to advance in the direction of #Vodyanoye and the #Ugledar - #Konstantinovka road.
📌 If Russian troops enter the intersection, one of the communication lines of the Ukrainian formations in the #SouthDonetsk direction will be cut off.

Even CNN can't disguise the reality of Ukraines massive defeat in Avdeevka.
Ukrainian commanders abandoned their own injured "Heroes" by the hundred, left alongside thousands of dead.
This is the reality of Zelensky’s Ukraine. This is the insanity he wants Americans to fund.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Attack on the Kanatovo military airfield in the Kirovograd region
This afternoon explosions were reported in the Poltava and Kirovograd regions, in areas where Ukrainian air infrastructure is located.
- In the Poltava region, the missile was intercepted by air defense systems in the area of the Chechelevo settlement;
- In the Kirovograd region, a hit was recorded on the territory of the Kanatovo military airfield.
Coordinates: 48.5545363, 32.3665793
🔻 After analyzing the information received, it was established that the attack occurred between the stands of the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters, over which the MALD ADM-160 launch systems were suspended and whose engines failed due to the impact of the shock wave (no subsequent detonation occurred and the explosives services removed the damaged ammunition). The planes themselves were not critically damaged.
📌 ADM-160 MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy) is a missile weapon designed to create decoys and distract air defenses. In essence, it is an air-guided target capable of deceiving radars and air defense systems.
🔻Lately, launches of ADM-160 MALD missiles by Ukrainian fighters taking off from the Kanatovo and Mirgorod airfields along with combat launches of other launch vehicles from other airfields/airports have been repeatedly recorded.
🔻After last year's regular and relatively successful attacks on air infrastructure, the enemy covered the objects with electronic warfare and air defense systems, in most cases NATO standard, due to multiple losses of equipment and ammunition, as well as in the framework of preparations for the infrastructure for the use of F-16 fighters.
📌 Deployed electronic warfare systems are capable of influencing incoming missiles by creating interference and intercepting control signals, which sometimes leads to a loss of control of the missile or a change in its trajectory, which in turn affects the indicators quality of the effectiveness of the attacks.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
This is what the West doesn't want you to see.
This is a video back from 2015, one year after the Western sponsored coup in Ukraine brought outright neo-Nazis to power.
The residents of Avdeevka are protesting against Ukrainian Nazis who are opening up military bases next to their shopping centers and then shelling Donetsk civilians with artillery.
"We are sick of the Ukrainian fascists who surrounded our Avdeevka! They are killing us!
They are trying to open up a military base right next to the shopping centre!
90% of us want to be a part of the Donetsk People's Republic!"
Where do you think these people are now?
What do you think the Ukrainian regime and their pocket neo-Nazis have done to them for 10 years before the Russians finally started the special military operation and freed the city?

🇺🇸 US military detects first deployment of underwater drone by Houthis, CENTCOM says
⛴ The detected anti-ship cruise missiles, unmanned underwater vessel, and the unmanned surface vessel in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen "presented an imminent threat" to US Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region, CENTCOM added.
The Houthis, who dominate Yemen's Red Sea coast, have threatened to attack Israeli-linked ships and called for other countries to avoid the area. As a result, some shipping companies have suspended operations in the Red Sea. The Houthis claim their actions are in support of Palestinians in Gaza but do not claim to restrict navigation in the region.

"Between the hours of 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm (Sanaa time) [12:00 to 17:00 GMT], Feb. 17, CENTCOM successfully conducted five self-defense strikes against three mobile anti-ship cruise missiles, one unmanned underwater vessel (UUV), and one unmanned surface vessel (USV) in Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen. This is the first observed Houthi employment of a UUV since attacks began in Oct. 23," US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
