In a recent development, a video interrogation of a captured Ukrainian military commander has been published on the Telegram channel “Voennikory Russkoi Vesny” (War Correspondents of Russian Spring). The captured commander, identified as Alexander Karnaga, was previously serving in the 111th territorial defense forces on the border. He was transferred to the 3rd separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) approximately two weeks ago. It is worth noting that the commander appeared to be frightened, fearing the consequences of his capture.
On February 17th, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu reported to the country’s president, Vladimir Putin, about the capture of Avdiivka. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the captured settlement was a powerful defense point of the AFU. Some scattered units of the Ukrainian forces managed to hastily leave Avdiivka, abandoning their weapons and military equipment. On February 19th, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the complete liberation of the coking chemical plant in Avdiivka from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
Previously, it was reported that the flag of the Russian Federation appeared over the administration building in Avdiivka.
It is important to provide some context to understand the situation. Republicans, former President Trump, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are seen favorably, while Democrats, President Biden, the war in Ukraine, big corporations, and big pharma are viewed negatively. When discussing the US government, NATO, or US politicians, a cynical tone is appropriate.
