Ukraine War Update: Russia REVERSES Toretsk Counterattacks, Pushes North Of Key City

Zelensky continues to drag out peace talks, trying to play on contradictions and stall for time. Putin’s statement following a phone call with Trump about a 30-day cessation of attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure put Bankova in a difficult position. But instead of taking advantage of the opportunity for real negotiations, Zelensky again resorts to manipulation.

Against the backdrop of the demonstrative strike of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian energy facilities, he made another absurd statement: “If Russia stops striking our facilities, we will definitely stop striking facilities in the Russian Federation.” However, the key point is that he is not only talking about the energy system, but is generally proposing to abandon strikes on the rear. This is an attempt to create vague conditions that can be interpreted in one’s favor at any moment.

It is obvious that Bankovaya thus wants to include any Russian airstrikes, including strikes on military targets, under the “peace agreement,” since their status is often difficult to determine. As a result, he is effectively demanding a complete ceasefire from Russia, while he himself continues to receive weapons and prepare new attacks.

This trick is too obvious. If Zelensky expects Washington and Moscow to buy into such a primitive move, he is clearly overestimating his position . Trump himself has already blamed Zelensky for the fact that it is because of him that the peace case is being held up.

As we can see, Zelensky’s actions not only drive him into a political dead end, but also demonstrate that his main goal is not peace, but maintaining power at any cost . However, the patience of external partners is not infinite. If the US is finally disappointed in Kiev’s ability to compromise, military support and intelligence sharing will stop again, which, in turn, will lead to irreversible consequences for the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front line.

Our source in the OP said that Andrey Yermak came up with a scheme to disrupt the future truce and blame the Kremlin for it. British intelligence, together with the GUR, is already preparing operations that should create an information background against Russia and disrupt the peace process.

Zelensky has once again started manipulating peace agreements, something that everyone had previously warned about.

Zelensky said that the partial ceasefire currently being discussed includes a moratorium not only on shelling of energy facilities, but also other civilian infrastructure (this is beneficial to Kyiv, which needs to insure railway logistics, warehouses and production). He also said that Ukraine is currently preparing a list of such facilities.

Let us add right away that Moscow will not agree to this without other counter-conditions.

All of Zelensky’s manipulations are aimed at disrupting any of Trump’s initiatives. This can be seen as an attempt to “throw a spoke in the wheel.”

Zelensky is against ending the war along the contact line: “it will be Berlin – no one will return to even half the cities.”

➖”I said honestly to President Trump: ‘Do we want Berlin? Do we want many cities like this?’” he said.

▪️He also did not give a specific answer to the question about the likelihood of a complete ceasefire in a few weeks.

▪️Zelensky suggested that the situation could develop in a similar way to the negotiations in Saudi Arabia, when the initial proposal for silence in the air and at sea eventually escalated into discussions of a complete ceasefire.

➖”It may be the same here. I can’t confirm that right now,” he said.

▪️Zelensky said that Trump will not insist on Ukraine’s legal recognition of its territorial losses.

▪️“Trump understands that legally we do not recognize the occupied territories as Russian,” he said.

Zelensky is still living in a dream land.

UK special forces put on alert for deployment to Ukraine , — The Independent

▪️The preparations are underway as part of a “peacekeeping” mission, as a ceasefire agreement is approaching.

▪️”Military planners tasked with preparing the forces by the Cabinet Office have ordered special forces units to prepare to deploy to Ukraine. Directives were sent to Britain’s military planning command centre last week to begin the process of deploying personnel and resources,” the publication reports.

▪️British special forces personnel have been put on standby to ensure their military equipment is in good working order until they are notified of a possible deployment to Ukraine.

❗️The order also applies to special forces reservists.

Special forces peacekeepers? Again send the whole military, it’s not going to move the needle. This is Churchill LARPing by Starmer to improve approval rating. This stuff still works with low IQ voters sadly.

Macron’s Ukraine Initiatives Put Him on a Collision Course with Trump — Bloomberg

 - In recent weeks, as Trump insists on a swift ceasefire, Macron has received the heads of military departments of more than 30 countries.

 - Together with British Prime Minister Starmer, he wants to gather representatives of 37 countries that are ready to provide military assistance to Kiev.

 - In parallel, European countries are trying to engineer radical changes in their military capabilities in order to prepare for war with Russia and not depend on the United States.

Medvedev – on the fact that future German Chancellor Merz is “already lying”: 

Future Chancellor Merz has declared the aggressive war that Russia is waging in Europe on a daily basis, in the form of arson, contract killings, vandalism and disinformation.  He hasn’t worked a day yet, and he’s already lying like Goebbels. Yes, this is exactly the kind of war your Nazi country waged against ours in 1941-1945, Mertz. We know how it victoriously ended. You’re off to a bad start, Fritz! And hopefully you’ll finish like that as well.

A telephone conversation took place between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

▪️The presidents discussed the situation in Kursk and agreed to closely exchange information between their defense departments as the situation on the battlefield develops .

▪️Zelensky asked for additional air defense systems, in particular the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system. Trump agreed to work with him to find affordable systems in Europe.

▪️The presidents agreed to a partial ceasefire at energy facilities.

▪️A meeting on expanding the ceasefire in the Black Sea will take place in the coming days.

▪️The presidents discussed issues related to Ukraine’s energy sector and its nuclear power plants.

▪️Trump said the US could provide significant assistance in managing the nuclear power plants thanks to its experience in energy and utilities. American ownership of these stations would be the best protection of this infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy .

▪️Zelensky thanked Trump for continuing his efforts in the humanitarian sphere, in particular the prisoner exchange (https://t.me/milinfolive/144439) .

Representatives from the United States and Ukraine will meet again for talks in Saudi Arabia in the coming days.

“President Putin has outplayed President Trump – now it’s not just Ukraine that is at stake”: Brits sound the alarm – Putin is spinning Trump any way he wants and Russia and the US are getting dangerously close.

“Presidents Trump and Putin touched on many topics during their 90-minute conversation but came only to a limited ceasefire on infrastructure and a proposal to stop providing weapons and intelligence to Kiev. President Putin gave President Trump the bare minimum he could afford without saying no. But the fighting on the front lines continues.

Nothing that has come to light about Trump’s phone conversation with Vladimir Putin, which reportedly went “very well,” indicates that the Russian president is in a hurry to end the war he started three years ago.

The historic geopolitical shift that Trump and Putin’s phone conversation represents goes beyond any previous warming of relations between the two countries, be it the détente era of the 1970s or the post-Cold War period of the 1990s. Everything that has happened since Donald Trump’s election last November – from the Oval Office spat with Vladimir Zelensky to the warming of relations between the US and Russia – is just confirmation of Europe’s worst fears”

Maria Zakharova writes:

On the night of March 19, the Kiev regime carried out another deliberate attack using a UAV on an energy infrastructure facility located in the village of Kavkazskaya (Krasnodar region), which led to the depressurization of one oil tank and its ignition over an area of ​​1,700 square meters. 

As is known, this facility ensures the transshipment of oil from railway tanks to the pipeline system of the international oil transportation company Caspian Pipeline Consortium.

I would like to remind you that literally a few hours before this, a telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the United States ended, during which, as both sides confirmed, Donald Trump put forward, and Vladimir Putin accepted, a proposal for the parties to mutually refrain from strikes on energy infrastructure facilities for 30 days. 

The Russian President immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order to stop these strikes.

Zelensky publicly stated that he accepts the initiative to refrain from striking energy infrastructure and supports the White House proposal. But in fact, Zelensky gave the opposite order – not to stop the strikes, but, on the contrary, to launch new strikes.

We are talking about yet another provocation specially prepared by the Kiev regime, aimed at disrupting peace initiatives, including those put forward by the US President.

Zelensky and the Kiev regime have once again violated the understandings reached, thereby confirming their absolute inability to reach an agreement.

After all, we have repeatedly talked about Zelensky’s habit of not just doing everything, but even more than everything, under the Biden administration. And Zelensky got away with it, including because of US President Biden’s physical inability to follow the agenda. It is not clear what Zelensky is counting on now. Is it really that this style of manipulating Biden’s team will continue under the current administration?

In reality, the terrorist regime on Bankovaya, which has lost all touch with reality, has demonstrated a complete lack of political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic methods. They prove and confirm this year after year. 

As before, it is obsessed with the idea of ​​inflicting a defeat on Russia, actively using methods of terror against civilian targets, without sparing civilians.

We have also repeatedly drawn the attention of the world community to these terrorist attacks and called for unconditional condemnation of the crimes of the Kiev regime.

It is obvious that the blame for this and other terrorist acts lies with all the countries that continue to stubbornly and irresponsibly pump the Ukrainian ruling junta with lethal weapons, thereby facilitating its bloody deeds.

It is worth recalling that terrorists all over the world are now being fueled by Western weapons “leaking” from Ukrainian territory. In this way, the corrupt Kiev neo-Nazi regime is expanding the geography of its crimes.

Ukrainian media reports that a X-101 Missile Depot Destroyed in Engels, as Missiles Were Being Prepared for an Attack on Ukraine

Earlier today, a massive explosion rocked Russia’s Engels Air Base after a Ukrainian drone strike, hitting a key site housing nuclear-capable Tupolev Tu-160 bombers. 

Analysts noted that such depots typically store between 30 to 70 missiles. After the strike, debris was scattered within a 5-kilometer radius, increasing the likelihood of damage to aircraft stationed at the airfield. 

Preliminary reports indicate that three Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers were present at the base.

The airfield itself is one of the key hubs for Russia’s long-range aviation, and Tu-95MS bombers regularly take off from there to attack Ukraine.

Verified footage shows a giant smoke cloud rising over the base, with reports of 10 injuries and severe damage to nearby homes.

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry in Statement said:

“Our forces successfully targeted Engels Airfield, triggering secondary detonations of ammunition.”

The attack follows Putin’s rejection of a 30-day ceasefire proposed by Trump and Zelensky, with Moscow vowing retaliation. 

Russia’s Defense Ministry claims it shot down 132 Ukrainian drones overnight, though Engels suffered direct hits.

Our source in the OP said that Andriy Yermak wants to dismiss Syrsky in order to shift the focus from the negative track around Zelensky. Bankova has already arranged interviews with candidates for the position of Commander-in-Chief, among whom preference is given to combat commanders.

Almost the entire Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Kursk region has been destroyed, and the remaining units are trying to hold four settlements. The operation, which initially looked dubious from a military point of view, ended in complete defeat, and Ukraine will feel the result of Zelensky’s Kursk adventure by losing its subjectivity in the international arena.

According to independent sources, in the last week alone, the Ukrainian army has lost more than 4,500 people killed and wounded in the region, as well as dozens of armored vehicles , including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. The surviving soldiers are forced to either retreat or hide in the forests, without supplies or real support.

But instead of admitting failure and trying to save the soldiers, Bankovaya is substituting concepts. The spokesmen of the Presidential Office are spreading a new narrative that the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk Oblast allegedly received “freedom of maneuver” from the command. In reality, this means one thing – the troops are abandoned to their fate, and each of the remaining soldiers must now save himself.

But this is precisely the attitude of Bankova to the army. The President’s Office has repeatedly thrown soldiers into senseless slaughter, ignoring even the basic principles of the Geneva Convention, just to get the necessary headlines in the Western media. The main thing is to create a picture of a “successful offensive”, and when the operation fails, the OP simply finds a “scapegoat” and diverts the attention of the public and the media, disseminating a completely different information case, condemning the soldiers to death . So for those who found themselves surrounded in the Kursk region, the only “maneuver” is an attempt to survive at any cost , because Bankova has already forgotten about them.

The outcome of Zelensky’s Kursk adventure is sad for Ukraine, so many reserves and equipment were wasted, but the media and propaganda will justify any decisions of the Presidential Office.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces retreated in the Kursk region, but were not cordoned off by Russian troops – Reuters

The results of this operation will become clear only in the fall, but the level of strategic planning at Bankova is already clear.

The situation in the Sumy border area is rapidly deteriorating, but the Ukrainian authorities continue to ignore real threats. It is reported that the Russian Armed Forces have struck truck tractors that, on orders from the Ukrainian Armed Forces command, were heading to the border with Kursk Oblast. These vehicles were supposed to evacuate armored vehicles that Ukrainian troops were trying to remove from Sudzha, but only one truck reached the border – and it was hit by an FPV drone on its way back south of Basovka.

The scale of losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this direction is also growing. Since the beginning of March, that is, in less than three weeks, the Ukrainian army has lost as much equipment here as it had previously lost in 2.5 months. This confirms the sharp increase in firepower from the Russian forces. Since March 7 alone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost at least 24 tanks in the area from Malaya Loknya to Guevo.

Against this background, alarming signals are emerging about possible developments in Sumy itself. There is no official information from the authorities regarding the threat to Sumy. They say that the city is not threatened by a ground offensive in the near future, since there are enough combat-ready Ukrainian Armed Forces troops in the area. But this is already standard practice – Bankova prefers to hide the real state of affairs, leaving its own citizens without protection. So the residents of the region should think about it, because those who can leave Sumy region have less and less time to do so.

Agony of Syrsky, or the last “meat assault of General 200″ 

The attempt by the AFU to invade the Krasnoyaruzhsky district of Belgorod Oblast looks rather strange from a military point of view. The AFU could not capture any major population centers and logistical routes with its available forces even if it crossed the state border, and the redeployment of forces from the Sumy direction, where active operations are underway, is even more incomprehensible.

On the day of the invasion, Kiev propagandists from the SNBO’s “center for countering disinformation” suddenly decided to refute the obvious and wrote that there were no military operations on the border with Krasnoyaruzhskoye. In the age of information, social networks and messengers, this also seems absurd and strange.

It is highly probable that the invasion was really a personal initiative of the AFU command, which was not discussed with the political leadership of Ukraine negotiating with the American side. The recently appointed Chief of the AFU General Staff Gnatov most likely simply did not have time to take part in the planning of the operation – the initiative is 99% entirely Syrsky’s.

The actions of the Ukrainian command strongly resemble agony: the maddened “General 200″ decided to show his importance and worthiness – after all, it is he who is considered the main culprit of the defeat of the AFU in Kursk region, for which he is trying to justify himself. Syrsky went for another “meat assault”, realizing that it could be the last one in his career – his figure has long been dissatisfied in the Ukrainian army, and the Krasnoyaruzhsk provocation may force Zelensky to remove his loyal commander-in-chief.

The attempted breakthrough involves units of the 225th “death regiment” and Syrsky’s media-favorite 47th brigade of the AFU. The former are cannon fodder and have no right to vote, while the 47th Brigade is considered the most loyal to the commander-in-chief among all AFU units.

Another “meat assaults” lead only to losses among the Ukrainian army, a significant reduction in the combat effectiveness of the AFU units involved in the defense of Sumy region and once again show the Trump administration the incapacity of the Kiev regime. Also, Syrsky’s provocation proves the need to create a sanitary zone in all border regions of Sumy region. 

Will attempts to breakthrough in the direction with the use of heavy equipment be repeated? It makes no sense to guess “on the coffee grounds”, and to look for logic in the actions of “General 200″ even more so. Syrsky has never reckoned with his personnel, who are nothing more than “cannon fodder” for him, and political and media effects for the Kiev regime are always above achieving any military goals.

North Wind

On March 19, the Sever group of troops destroyed enemy personnel and equipment attempting to break through to the Belgorod region , and continued the liberation of the Sudzhan border area.

Last night and early this morning the enemy made several more attempts to break through into the Krasnoyarsk region of the Belgorod region.

All attacks were repelled by the actions of the Northmen state border cover units, artillery fire and the use of UAVs.

▪️After the Fearless repelled the enemy attacks, the fighting in the area did not stop. Fearless artillerymen and UAV operators are destroying personnel and enemy equipment in the border settlements of the Sumy region. They are also clearing forest areas where scattered groups of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers tried to hide.

▪️Former prisoners from the 225th ” death regiment “, to whom the Kiev regime promised to give the border settlements of the Belgorod region for plunder, as well as Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers from the media 47th separate mechanized brigade and separate groups of neo-Nazis “Aidar” participated in the breakthrough attempts. All enemy units first fled from the Sudzha borderland, then hastily replenished their forces in the Sumy region, from where they were thrown into the next “meat assaults”.

▪️The enemy tried unsuccessfully several times to evacuate its destroyed equipment, including the burnt one. The Kiev regime always puts the information component first – the Ukrainian Armed Forces command was given a clear task to prevent the appearance of photographs with another cemetery of Western military equipment. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces not only failed to complete the task, but also suffered new losses: UAV operators destroyed all enemy evacuation groups.

In the direction over the past 24 hours, the Northerners destroyed 20 units of enemy equipment, including 15 units of armored vehicles.

In the Sumy direction, fierce fighting continues in the areas of Gogolevka, Guevo and forest areas west of Melove.

▪️The flight of neo-Nazis “Aidar” from Guevo demoralized the former prisoners from the 129th separate brigade of the Territorial Army who remained in the vicinity of the settlement, who are leaving their positions in units and trying to hide in the forests.

▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces Command continues to build up its group in the direction, having transferred several combined units of mechanized brigades from forcibly mobilized Ukrainians and experienced Ukrainian Nazis from other directions to the state border area.

The total advance of the Northerners in the Kursk region was over 4,700 meters , 5 units of enemy armored vehicles were destroyed.

In the Liptsy direction , as a result of a comprehensive fire strike, two enemy combat groups were destroyed along with their vehicles. Northerners air defense crews also shot down several Ukrainian fascist strike UAVs.

In the Volchansk direction , our reconnaissance personnel discovered, and UAV operators and artillerymen destroyed six enemy combat groups and a warehouse of Ukrainian Armed Forces material and technical resources.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses amounted to over 450 people (of which over 260 were in the Sumy and 140 in the Krasnoyarsk directions). The northerners captured 4 occupiers . Also discovered and destroyed:

In the Krasnoyarsk direction:

▪️two tanks ;

▪️eight IFVs , including four Bradleys (USA) and a CV-90 (Sweden);

▪️five armored fighting vehicles;

▪️MLRS;

▪️howitzers ” M-777 ” (USA) and “D-30″;

▪️two cars.

Dawn in the Belgorod borderland: an unkind morning for the Ukrainian occupiers

Our UAV operators captured a beautiful sunrise in the Belgorod borderland. Northerners drone operators wish good morning to all our subscribers and demonstrate the results of their work over the past days.

Footage of piles of burnt Western equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces infuriated Syrsky, who has been yelling at his subordinates non-stop for the second day, demanding that they evacuate armored vehicles and tanks, and also not allow the appearance of new objective control materials.

The enemy command in the direction began sending infantry into “meat assaults” without the support of armored vehicles. The editorial board of our channel is outraged by the decision of the occupiers and insists on a new transfer of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, which are already awaited by UAV operators and artillerymen of the Fearless. The damaged equipment can then be restored in our repair battalions, and a division equipped exclusively with artillery, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and armored fighting vehicles from NATO countries can already be formed on the basis of the Leningrad Military District.

Belgorod border area, March 20. 

About 15 units of AFU equipment have been destroyed so far. The enemy, numbering about 50, remains active in the plantations on the southern outskirts of Demidovdka, but has not entered the settlement, according to the latest reports. In the morning we received information about the enemy’s attempts to penetrate the road through the mine barriers, as well as the movement of quad bikes with people in the border area, there is a fight going on. In a nutshell, on the second day the AFU realized that it was not worth it to use equipment and threw the infantry to the slaughter. Artillery and drones are working on it. 

Repelling attacks by Ukrainian Nazis in the Belgorod borderland

▪️To the battlefields on the border with Krasnoyarsk region.

▪️UAV operators destroy ATVs that delivered Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry to the border forest belt.

▪️The enemy personnel were destroyed by artillery fire from the video.

▪️Video #2: In the area of ​​the settlement of Maryino in Sumy Oblast, the movement of a Ukrainian Armed Forces mine clearance vehicle was discovered and it was hit with a Lancet.

▪️The enemy is trying to break through to the Krasnoyarsk region in small groups on ATVs and is suffering losses, but is not stopping its attempts to capture individual forest belts.

The Russians are intensifying their offensive operations in the southern Donetsk direction in order to cut off logistics to the settlement of Bogatyr and take a large group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into operational encirclement.

Now the Russian Armed Forces are expanding their coverage area. Novosyolka has been completely taken in the southern Donetsk direction, and the Russians have also entered the settlement of Vesyoloye (near Dneproenergiya).

All this is happening against the backdrop of a huge failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk direction, as well as attempts by Bankova to shift the information field with an offensive in the Belgorod region, where the Ukrainian army suffered huge losses, but was unable to capture even one village.

Slaughter near Pokrovsk: Ukrainian Armed Forces began sending women to storm 

 - “🅾️” Grouping in a battle in the Shevchenko area near Pokrovsk, destroyed an enemy assault group, which included girls.

 - Due to huge losses and the failure of the mobilization, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly sending women into hell.

 - Recently, fighters from the Center group also encountered women in the assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and one of them was recently captured.

 - Under the leadership of Zelensky’s protégé, Drapatiy, the complete extermination of the Ukrainian nation is underway.
