2. “Saving face” of Russia would be the worst-case scenario for ending the war, - Polish Foreign Ministry News Censor. The Polish Foreign Ministry believes that the condition for a lasting peace is the victory of Ukraine over Russia on the battlefield, and the scenario of saving Moscow’s face is the worst. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister Pavel Yablonsky, reports.No with reference to the EP. “The condition for any lasting peace in Europe is that Ukraine must expel Russia from its territory,” he said. “For the aggressor to come out of this conflict with a preserved face would be the worst scenario - not only from the point of view of our security, but also on a global scale. This would show potential participants in such aggression that it simply pays off,” the Deputy Foreign Minister added. Jablonski stressed that Poland’s goal is for Russia to “come out of aggression against Ukraine defeated, completely confused and brought to justice.” According to him, Russia adheres to the same principles in this war as during the Second World War: “this is a one-on-one continuation of what was 70-80 years ago.” He also called for tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation. “We have long said that sanctions should be as tough as possible, not only extend to as many areas as possible, but also be sealed. Today, this is one of the main challenges,” Yablonsky said. “If there were no sanctions, Russia would be in a much better position today. It could produce weapons much faster. It will have access to technologies that it doesn’t have today. ... Today, Russia uses old equipment from warehouses. There is a lot of it, and it is still extremely dangerous. Imagine what would happen if Russia had constant access to technology. We have blocked this access, or at least severely restricted it,” the source concluded: https://censor.net/ua/n3397501

The “Ogre” pulls the Executioner. Have you ever seen one Pion self-propelled 203mm cannon pulling another? This can only be seen in a report by hromadske. “Pions” are working on the hottest part of the frontline from Soledar to Bakhmut. Now the main target is the Wagnerites, who are entrenched in Soledar, which they captured in early January. From there, the Russians are trying to put pressure on our defense in order to seize the Sloviansk-Bakhmut highway and cut off the city’s supply lines. Another direction of their attack is the Kostyantynivka-Bakhmut highway. One of the tasks of these guns, which are the largest in the Ukrainian army, is to prevent the Ukrainian army from blocking this supply route as well. “The Pions are equipped with 203-millimeter caliber shells that can penetrate concrete fortifications to a depth of 8 meters on the first hit.
This time, hromadske witnessed the work of “Pions” to accumulate manpower in Soledar. They fired 9 shells, after which one of the guns broke down. One “Pion” pulled the other one back, but within an hour both vehicles were back on the battlefield.
The intensity of the fighting and artillery - both ours and the enemy’s in this area - is so high that the equipment often simply cannot withstand it. The most difficult thing about the work of artillerymen here is this problem: the equipment needs to be constantly repaired and at the same time constantly working. There are almost no days without going to the battlefield. While other types of artillery do not stop working even for 5 minutes. There is a growing number of artillery, in particular Western artillery. As well as artillerymen. hromadske witnessed the initiation into artillery of an IT guy who received a summon only two months ago at a checkpoint in Lviv. Now he is a platoon commander.
