tanks for Ukraine

The head of the Ministry of Defense, who published a video showing at least six tanks in those that flew under Ukrainian flags, he did not specify the total number of armored vehicles included in this position.

This is the second delivery. tanks This week, Kyiv received 18 Leopard 2 tanks and 40 Marder light infantry vehicles from Germany on Monday.

The Kremlin reacted to the visit tanks Germans with a denunciation that Berlin is “actively arming Ukraine”, for which “Germany is raising the level of its participation in this conflict.”

“Such actions and decisions do not bode well,” Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned.

France promises howitzers for Kyiv

For his part, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said in an interview published by Le Figaro on Tuesday that France would double deliveries to Ukraine 155 mm artillery shells up to 2000 units per month.

These types of howitzers are used by the French Caesar guns or the German Pzh 2000s and can hit targets at a distance of 40 kilometers.

Lecornu explained that Paris will also soon send the SAM / T air defense system to Kyiv, which “allows you to guarantee the protection of both the battlefield and the civilian population in cities.”

Given this, Moscow did not sit idly by. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu today visited several military factories to monitor the production of weapons and demand an acceleration in the pace of production.

According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian military industry has significantly increased the production of ammunition, and by the end of this year, the volume will increase “by 7-8 times.”

Pulse in Donbass

Meanwhile, in the Donbass, the pulse between the two sides remains, with no significant changes seen in recent days, although the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has acknowledged Russian “likely offensives” in the Avdiivka and Bakhmut bastions.

Commander of the Ground Forces UkraineAlexander Syrsky, admitted that the Russian troops did not give up their attempts to encircle Bakhmut, which they managed to maintain “thanks to the heroism and professionalism of our military operations, (…) and the effective use of maneuver and weapons of opportunity.”

According to ISW, Russian forces and especially the Wagner group of Russian mercenaries are trying to concentrate more and more on Avdiivka, near the regional center of Donetsk.

Moscow would prefer to mobilize the most experienced Wagner assault units for an offensive on Avdiivka.

On the other hand, the head of this Russian paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, categorically denied this statement, assuring that “there is no and never was a Wagner unit in Avdiivka.”

“All tasks there are assigned exclusively to the army. And we wish them success in fulfilling this mission,” he concluded.

I stop Russia and Zelensky visits the north

Meanwhile, in the south of Ukraine Russian forces have lost momentum as the Ukrainian army destroyed part of its ammunition depots in the area, according to Natalia Gumenyuk, spokeswoman for Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command.

“There were no Russian shellings in the area of ​​the mouth of the Dnieper-Bukh (70 km west of the city of Kherson) for three days,” he said, explaining this situation by the impossibility of Russian forces “to receive ammunition after their depots were destroyed.”

Meanwhile, in the north of the country, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today held a review of Ukrainian forces guarding the border with Russia in the Sumy region, which has recently come under massive shelling.

The President, who recently visited other regions of the country partially occupied by Russia, awarded the soldiers and statesmen of the region.
