The third generalized stage of HIV infection was found in 27 regions of Russia. This was reported in the Specialized Research Laboratory of Epidemiology and Prevention of AIDS. Generalized is the stage when more than 1% of pregnant women are infected in the region.
Back in 2021, Russia entered the top five countries leading in terms of the spread of HIV. According to the reports of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, Russia accounted for almost 4% of new HIV infections in the world.

Today terrorist state began to preside over UN Security Council - Zelensky
01.04.2023 21:00
Today the terrorist state began to preside over the UN Security Council, and yesterday the Russian army killed another Ukrainian child.
https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3690407-today-terrorist-state-began-to-preside-over-un-security-council-zelensky.html
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his new video address, Ukrinform reports.
Video of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TtD-F4k3Pg
Dear Ukrainians, I wish you health!
I signed two decrees on sanctions against those who work for Russian aggression.
These are officials of the aggressor state, its defense industry – hundreds of companies – and collaborators. It is about more than 650 newly sanctioned persons.
The NSDC will continue this work. And none of those who help terrorists, work for them, supply or manufacture weapons for terror – none will escape liability.
The blocking of accomplices of terror, the isolation of the terrorist state, its defeat, and trials are what await all those who started and are waging war against Ukraine and the international order.
By the way, this week Switzerland joined the tenth sanctions package of the European Union.
It is important when the states that are neutral in the military-political sense nevertheless take a clear moral position towards Russian terror, towards Russia’s destruction of the global order based on rules.
Only in unity can we preserve peace as the basis of international relations, and I thank Switzerland for the relevant decisions.
I spoke today with President of France Emmanuel Macron. In detail, one hour. About the situation at the front, our political interaction, about how we are moving in implementing the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Thank you, France for your unwavering support.
In general, the week brought a number of positive news for Ukraine, for our defense, and for defending the regular life of all free nations.
Within the framework of the OSCE, work on the first separate international report, which will be dedicated to Russia’s forced deportation of Ukrainian children and attempts to assimilate our children, began.
This crime committed by Russia is one of the most cynical and anti-human crimes of our time.
Russia commits it systematically and calculates it, at the state level. Accountability for it will be systemic too. Accountability of Russia as a state and everyone involved.
Thanks to Germany for the new steps in defense support that were taken this week.
Thanks to Croatia for another defense support package. Thanks to North Macedonia for the decision on helicopters. Thanks to Slovakia, Slovenia.
Thank you to Canada for the financial support, the funds have already arrived in the state budget of Ukraine.
Thanks to the IMF for the new programme for Ukraine. The programme is approved. The size is more than $15 billion. This will help us preserve social stability.
Unfortunately, we also have news that is obviously absurd and destructive. Today, the terrorist state began to chair the UN Security Council.
Yesterday, the Russian army killed another Ukrainian child – a five-month-old boy named Danylo. From Avdiyivka, in Donbas, together with his parents who were injured. Russian artillery... One of the hundreds of artillery strikes that the terrorist state launches every day.
And at the same time, Russia chairs the UN Security Council.
It is hard to imagine something evident that proves the complete bankruptcy of such institutions...
There is no such form of terror that has not yet been committed by Russia. And there will be no such reason that will stop the reform of global institutions, in particular, the UN Security Council. The reform that is clearly overdue – so that a terrorist state and any other state that wants to be a terrorist cannot disrupt the peace.
Terrorists must lose, must be held accountable for terror, and not preside anywhere.
Glory to all who are now in battle!
I thank everyone who helps Ukraine. Who defends the international order based on rules! Thank you to everyone who saves and helps save our people after being injured by Russian shelling!
Eternal memory to all adults and children whose lives were taken by the terror of Russia!

A Year Into War, Ukraine Faces Challenges Mobilizing Troops
3/23/23
DNIPRO, Ukraine—One Ukrainian paid almost $10,000 to flee the draft. Another has ignored five military summonses. A third avoids public spaces, fearing a military official will pounce and issue a call-up.
After a year of war, Ukraine is facing increasing challenges in raising the troops it needs to resist Russian forces and eject them from its territory.
When Russia invaded in February last year, thousands of volunteers lined up outside military recruitment centers. With many of them now dead or injured, Ukrainian authorities are scrambling to recruit replacements, often drafting those who have neither the desire nor the training to serve. The result is a growing number of fighting-age men who are attempting to evade service. ...
But while polls show that support for the defense effort remains high, the stock of willing volunteers now appears to be dwindling. ...
There have been public scandals involving inappropriate call-ups and videos appearing to show men being roughed up by enlistment officers for refusing a summons. A disabled person was drafted in western Ukraine and pronounced fit for service despite having no hands. Another died on the front lines within a month of mobilization after 10 days of training, according to his relatives.

When has Zelensky’s demands for more money and weapons ever been fake?
Even the head of the Ukrainian military said months ago in an interveiw in The Economist that he knew NATO allies didn’t have the resources he needed in order to mount an offensive. That’s from the HEAD of the Ukrainian military.
But you’re here spewing the usual propaganda, refuting reality. Just send more money, eh?
Ukrainian Army Has Hit Crimea! Russian Port of Sevastopol is on Fire!

Winning and losing is a fact inherent in the nature of war. Therefore, every army at war determines its distance to victory through large and small gains and losses.
Therefore, it is natural to gain territory after successful operations or lose territory after defeats. However, losing or gaining some territories can change the course of a war. For Ukraine, this is undoubtedly the Crimean peninsula. In recent days, the Ukrainian army has carried out a series of attacks on the Crimean peninsula! Ukraine is getting closer to its goal!
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian leader Zelensky and the Ukrainian army have been aiming to push the Russian invaders out of the occupied territories as soon as possible and advance towards Crimea.
The first year of the war is over and the Ukrainian army is very close to this goal! Because Zelensky, his army and his people put up a great resistance against the invaders. Despite the threats of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian leader Zelensky has not backed down. The attacks on Sevastopol in Crimea the other day clearly showed the determination of Zelenski and the Ukrainian army!
In almost every speech Zelenski has said that Crimea will be taken from the Russian occupiers. In fact, Zelensky said that Russia’s occupation of Ukraine began in 2014 with the illegal annexation of Crimea and continued with a full-scale occupation on February 24, 2022. Therefore, Zelenski said that the Russian-Ukrainian war started in Crimea and would end with the recapture of Crimea. Crimea, which Zelenski often reminded, has been the target of the Ukrainian army in recent days! The Ukrainian army has now crossed the occupied territories and is advancing to Crimea!
Ukrainian drones hit Crimea the other day! After this attack on the port of Sevastopol in the morning, the Kremlin issued an emergency alert. The day before the Ukrainian army drone strike, explosions also occurred in the Crimean city of Dzhankoy. The railway supply line of the Russian occupiers in Dzhankoy was hit during the delivery of Kalibr missiles! Increasing activity in Crimea!

Russia-Ukraine War: Will There Be a Spring Counteroffensive?
Europe’s biggest armed conflict since World War II is poised to enter a new phase in the coming weeks

Russia-Ukraine War: Will There Be a Spring Counteroffensive?
Ukrainian soldiers fire artillery at Russian positions near Bakhmut, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, on Nov. 20, 2022. Europe’s biggest armed conflict since World War II is poised to enter a key new phase in the coming weeks. With no suggestion of a negotiated end to the 13 months of fighting between Russia and Ukraine, a counteroffensive by Kyiv’s troops is in the cards.
Europe’s biggest armed conflict since World War II is poised to enter a new phase in the coming weeks.
With no suggestion of a negotiated end to the 13 months of fighting between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian defense minister said last week that a spring counteroffensive could begin as soon as April.
EXCERPT:
HOW HAS RUSSIA FARED SO FAR?
The war has exposed embarrassing shortcomings in the Kremlin’s military prowess.
The battlefield setbacks include Russia’s failure to reach Kyiv in the early days of the invasion, its inability to hold some areas and its failure to take the devastated eastern city of Bakhmut despite seven months of fighting. Attempts to break the Ukrainian will to fight, such as relentlessly striking the country’s power grid, have failed too.
Moscow’s intelligence services badly misjudged Ukraine’s resolve and the West’s response. The invasion also depleted Russian military resources, triggering difficulties with ammunition supplies, morale and troop numbers.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, apparently concerned that the war could erode public support for his government, has avoided an all-out push for victory through a mandatory mass mobilization.
“The Russians have no end of problems,” said James Nixey, director of the Russia and Eurasia program at Chatham House, a think tank in London.
Realizing he cannot win the war any time soon, Putin aims to hunker down and drag out the fighting in the hope that Western support for Kyiv eventually frays, Nixey said.
Russia’s strategy is designed around “getting the West to crumble,” he said.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE UKRAINIANS?
The Ukrainian military starts the season with an influx of powerful weapons.
Germany said this week that it had delivered the 18 Leopard 2 tanks it promised to Ukraine. Poland, Canada and Norway have also handed over their pledged Leopard tanks. British Challenger tanks have arrived too.
Ukraine’s defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov, has said he’s hopeful Western partners will supply at least two battalions of the German-made Leopard 2s by April. He also expects six or seven battalions of Leopard 1 tanks, with ammunition, from a coalition of countries.
Also pledged are U.S. Abrams tanks and French light tanks, along with Ukraine soldiers recently trained in their use.
The Western help has been vital in strengthening Ukraine’s dogged resistance and shaping the course of the war. Zelenskyy recognizes that without U.S. help, his country has no chance to prevail.
The new supplies, including howitzers, anti-tank weapons and 1 million rounds of artillery ammunition, will add more muscle to the Ukraine military and give it a bigger punch.
“Sheer numbers of tanks can drive a deeper wedge into Russian holding positions,” Nixey said.
In their counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces will look to break through the land corridor between Russia and the annexed Crimean peninsula, moving from Zaporizhzhia toward Melitopol and the Azov Sea, according to Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov.
If successful, the Ukrainians “will split the Russian troops into two halves and cut off supply lines to the units that are located further to the west, in the direction of Crimea,” Zhdanov said.
The operations would have “the twin aims of persuading Putin to accept a negotiated compromise or of creating military realities sufficiently favorable to Ukraine that Kyiv and its Western allies can then effectively freeze the conflict on their own regardless of Putin’s decisions.”
