🇷🇺🇺🇦🚨 UPDATE ON THE EVENTS OF THE RUSSO-UKRAINIAN WAR DAY 621:

In the Kiev region:

According to the official Ukrainian statement on the death of the Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Major Hennadii Chastiakov, the Assistant Commander-in-Chief was NOT killed through a sabotage operation, but was in fact killed through a joke birthday gift of grenades, one of which detonated "accidentally," killing Chastiakov and severely injuring his son who was present at the time.

Meanwhile, Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky says there will be no elections as long as the war continues. Zelensky says this as his Western partners have begun pressuring the Ukrainian authorities to hold elections and to negotiate a political settlement or ceasefire with the Russians.

Zelensky also signed into law an extension of the Martial Law and Mobilization for an additional 90 days.

According to Ukrainian Intelligence, Russian Forces are planning a massive missile offensive, having collected a cache of over 1'000 missiles before launching any large-scale offensive operations into Ukrainian-held territory.

Sudan operations:

Ukrainian Special Forces launched a secretive operation in Sudan hunting Russian Forces in an unnamed city. Video evidence shows Ukrainian Forces striking several grouping and headquarters used by Wagner PMC.

In the Crimea peninsula:

Ukrainian Forces launched a missile strike targeting Russian naval positions in the Sevestapol docks using a SCALP missile. According to video evidence, the strike was a success and damaged or destroyed a Russian attack vessel capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles.

In the Kherson direction:

In just the previous 24-hours, Russian Forces claim to have dropped a total of 87 bombs on Ukrainian Forces in this region, having seemingly fixed whatever logistical issues were preventing Russian Forces from ejecting Ukrainians from their footholds on the Left bank of the Dnieper.

According to the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of the Russian Federation, Ukrainian Forces lost 130 soldiers in the Kherson territory, along with three armored vehicles and five artillery systems, a significant loss for this area.

Russian Forces spent the previous 24 hours heavily bombing and shelling Ukrainian positions on the Right bank of Dnieper across the entire frontline in this region, with special attention given to the foothold in Krynky and the islands between Kynky on the Left Bank and Tiahynka on the Right bank of the Dnieper.

According to Ukrainian and Russian sources, Ukrainian Forces have managed to deliver a number of Armored Vehicles across the river to reinforce troops holding the village of Krynky as the Russian bombardment continues.

Russian Forces were also bombing and shelling the Antonivka area, using a new type of missile which completely and utterly decimated the building Ukrainian troops were hiding in on their foothold in Dachi, also I'm the Left bank of the Dnieper. Russian Forces were also heavily bombing Ukrainian positions here using FPV drones.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction:

As result of fighting in this area, according to the Russian MoD, Ukrainian Forces in this region lost 160 soldiers, three armored vehicles and and one M777 howitzer system.

Russian Forces launched an offensive operation in the vicinity of western Robotyne using armored vehicles, tanks and landing troops, taking back positions lost to Ukrainians Forces in recent weeks.

In the meantime, Russian Forces continue heavily bombing and shelling Ukrainian fortified positions west of Robotyne using a variety of drones and artillery.

East of Robotyne, Russian Forces launched an offensive operation in the vicinity of western Verbove where their forces took back control over extensive trench networks in the fields to the west of Verbove. It would seem Ukrainian Forces no longer control any of these trench networks west of Verbove.

In the Southern Donetsk area:From the south/southwest of Pershotravneve, Russian Forces were launching ground operations against Ukrainian fortified positions in this area, with the aim of cutting off the logistical supply road between Petropavlivka and Orlianka which would hinder Ukrainian logistics towards its forces defending Stepove. Intense fighting continues here.

Russian strategic bomber Tu-22M3 launched 16 precision missiles in Kharkiv

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 03/02/2022 - 10:00 in Military, War Zones

A Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber fired 16 precision missiles at targets in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, destroying civilian targets, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said.

The attack on the Ukrainian city took place on February 28. The bomber would have launched air-to-ground missiles at Kharkiv without even crossing the border.

"High buildings, schools, kindergartens and other infrastructure in the city have been destroyed. According to preliminary data, dozens of Kharkiv residents were killed in the airstrikes, including children," an official Ukrainian statement said. The military added that it has become “extremely difficult for the Air Force to cover the skies in this region, as part of the country's air defense system has been destroyed by ballistic and cruise missiles”.

This was not confirmed by the Russian side which in turn claimed full control over the city of control over Kherson, strategically located on the right bank of the Dnieper River, near its confluence with the Black Sea Dnieper estuary, the largest sea and port river in the Dnieper.

“Russian Armed Forces units have taken full control of the Kherson regional center,” Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, said on Wednesday.

"Civil infrastructure, life support equipment for the population and urban transport work daily," he said. "The city does not suffer from a shortage of food and essential goods. Negotiations are underway between the Russian command, the city administration and the region to address issues of maintaining the operation of social infrastructure facilities, guaranteeing law and order and safety of the population."

Russia claims that it has also taken full control of the cities of Melitopol, Berdyansk and Energodar. He announced on March 1 that the exit of Ukrainian armed forces units to the Sea of Azov was blocked.

The Dnieper river - strolling along and going on a cruise

The Dnieper river – strolling along and going on a cruise

The Dnieper river reminds me of the Danube in Vienna. It divides the city in two parts. And we stayed mostly on one side in Kiev (same goes for Vienna). To get down to the river from the old town is fairly easy. You can either walk, and get lost doing so, or you pay for the funicular and exit in front of the river Dnieper.

Catch the East Coast line – a fast track to Tory incompetence and scandal | Aditya Chakrabortty | Opinion

In 1787, a splendid metaphor was born. Catherine the Great of Russia set out on a cruise along the River Dnieper to survey a new colony. To wow the empress, her lover, Prince Gregory Potemkin, organised fake villages along the bank and tricked out his men as honest serfs. As Catherine’s boat floated by, the serfs stood and cheered – then stripped off, dismantled their settlements and ran…
