Ukraine expects more attacks deep inside Russia
Russia will have to prepare for attacks deep inland. This was announced by the head of the Ukrainian intelligence service, Kirillo Budanov.
The head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, Kirillo Budanov, expects more attacks on Russian soil. In an interview with US station ABC News, he said the beatings were „deeper and deeper” in Russia. Asked if Ukraine was responsible for the recent bombings at Russia’s Engels-2 military airfield, the military refused to give a direct response. „I can talk about it after the war,” said Budanov. But he was very happy to see these attacks.
In December, two Russian military airfields were apparently attacked by drones. Three people were killed in the latest incident, after Christmas, hundreds of kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Kyiv itself never officially claimed responsibility for the beating.

More specifically, the HUR chief commented on the military activities in Russia-occupied Crimea. This is Ukrainian territory. „We can use any weapon on our territory,” he said. Budanov predicts the „hottest battles” for March and announces a Ukrainian offensive in the spring. And then we will witness further liberation of the occupied territories and the final defeats of the Russian Federation.
„A terrorist state possesses a nuclear scepter”
Despite his reserved demeanor – also because of his profession – Budanov was shocked by a visit to the front near Bashmut. There he saw mountains of corpses, some of which he used as cover for the Russian soldiers. With huge casualties among the soldiers, the regime in Moscow became a „laughing moron”. „Russia no longer poses a military threat to the world,” he said.

Only the nuclear arsenal is a cause for concern. He called for Russia to be free of nuclear weapons or to place it under international supervision. „A terrorist state wielding a nuclear mace and issuing threats is not a regime that has a moral or political right to control weapons of mass destruction,” Budanov added.
According to his findings, Russia is slowly running out of weapons and ammunition, and Moscow has to use „cheaper” materials in large quantities, such as Iranian kamikaze planes. He hopes to get American Bradley armored personnel carriers soon. “We are waiting for you. You will greatly improve the combat capability of our units.”
The US government is considering supplying Bradley armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. According to the US military, tracked armored vehicles usually have a cannon, machine gun, and armor-piercing missiles. US President Joe Biden said yes to a reporter’s question on Wednesday if the government was considering supplying armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. He did not elaborate. It was not clear at first what kind of „Bradley” would be suitable for Kiev. Yesterday, France announced that it will deliver T072 light main battle tanks to Ukraine. Germany plans to make the Gebbard anti-aircraft tank available, but no date has been set.

Parliament in Kyiv approves the use of prisoners on the front
6:02 AM: The Ukrainian parliament approved a bill allowing the deployment of prisoners to the front. As MP Olena Shuljak announced on Facebook, deputies in Kiev voted in favor of the project in the second reading with 279 yes votes.
In exchange for amnesty, this allows imprisoned criminals to be deployed in the ranks of the Ukrainian armed forces on the front. According to Shuljak, this should only happen on a voluntary basis. In addition, those affected may have less than three years of imprisonment remaining. Dangerous criminals imprisoned for multiple murders, rapes or attacks on national security are not given the opportunity.
Deputy Shuliak emphasizes that before the operation is performed, the physical and mental condition of the prisoners is also examined. Before the law enters into force, it must be signed by the Speaker of Parliament and the President of the Republic.
Ukraine bombs Russian targets – fires and casualties
5:48 AM: According to Russian sources, a Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire in a refinery in the Russian Krasnodar region. The regional administration said via the short message service „Telegram” that about six drones were shot down, but the debris fell on the refinery near the village of Yurovka and led to a fire. Several tanks were damaged.
In addition, according to Russian sources, at least eight people were injured and several homes and cars were damaged in a Ukrainian airstrike in Russia’s Belgorod region. The governor of the region bordering Ukraine said that an 11-year-old girl was among the injured and was taken to hospital.
Great Britain wants to expel the Russian military attaché
8:38 pm: Britain announced the imminent expulsion of the Russian military attaché. In fact, he is a „little-known military intelligence officer,” Home Secretary James Cleverley said in Parliament in London. A military attaché is a member of the armed forces who serves in an embassy and represents his country’s defense sector abroad.
Cleverley also announced that several Russian properties on British soil that London suspected were being used for „intelligence purposes” would lose their diplomatic status. Cleverly also reveals “new restrictions on Russian diplomatic visas”, in particular limiting the amount of time Russian diplomats can spend in the UK. The Russian ambassador was summoned and informed of the procedures.
Russia rejects the accusations against military attaché Maxim Ilovik and criticizes the loss of diplomatic status for Russian properties. „London decided to justify its anti-Russian measures with lies,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in Moscow. It announced a „strong response” from Russia without going into details.
GPS interference: Estonia appoints Russian charge d’affaires
7:23 pm: Estonia has summoned the Chargé d’Affaires of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn due to a disruption in GPS satellite navigation in the Baltic Sea region. Foreign Minister Margos Tsahkna said in Tallinn that so-called jamming – that is, active disruption of the signal – by Russia is becoming increasingly common. This causes confusion and has a major impact on civil aviation. Aircraft use a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal to determine their location and for navigation.

Der Beginn des Europawahlkampfs der österreichischen Grünen ist von Turbulenzen um Spitzenkandidatin Lena Schilling überlagert worden. Am Mittwoch erschien in der österreichischen Zeitung „Der Standard“ ein Bericht, in dem Schilling zwar keine rechtlichen – oder im engeren Sinne politischen – Vorwürfe gemacht werden, aber in dem ein äußerst ungünstiges Charakterbild gezeichnet wird.
[–>
Anlass der Berichterstattung ist eine gerichtliche Unterlassungserklärung, mit der sich Schilling verpflichtet, bestimmte Behauptungen über Personen aus ihrem privaten Umfeld nicht mehr zu verbreiten. Daran anknüpfend zitiert die Zeitung mehrere anonyme Gesprächspartner in einer Weise, die es nahelegt, dass die junge politische Quereinsteigerin – bekanntgeworden als Klimaaktivistin – häufiger falsche abträgliche Behauptungen über andere Personen in die Welt setze. Schilling mochte sich in der Sache nicht äußern, da es sich um ihr Privatleben handle. Es werde gegen sie mit Gerüchten und Unterstellungen „kampagnisiert“.

Zeitung kritisiert Reaktion des Parteivorsitzenden

Die Chefredaktion des linksliberalen Blattes rügte ihrerseits, dass der Grünen-Vorsitzende journalistische Arbeit als „Gefurze“ bezeichne. Man könne jede behauptete Einzelheit belegen. Veröffentlicht wurde – bei geschwärzten Namen – die Unterlassungserklärung. In dem Artikel wird ausführlich begründet, warum man sich entschlossen habe, in dieser Weise über Dinge zu berichten, die die Privatsphäre berühren. Schilling sei Spitzenkandidatin, werde wahrscheinlich ins Europaparlament einziehen und könnte dort die österreichische Grünen-Delegation anführen. Daher sei sie eine Person öffentlichen Interesses, und es sei relevant, wie sie sich gegenüber Kollegen und auch Medien verhalte.

In einem Fall geht es darum, dass sie einem Journalisten sexuelle Belästigung vorgeworfen haben soll. Der Mann sei von einer Kündigung bedroht gewesen, doch habe eine Untersuchung durch seinen Arbeitgeber keine Hinweise darauf ergeben, dass an dem Vorwurf etwas dran sei.
[–>[–>
Die Grünen sprachen hingegen von einer „organisierten Kampagne“. Die Fraktionsvorsitzende Sigrid Maurer meinte, das sei auch direkt gegen junge Frauen gerichtet. Klimaschutzministerin Leonore Gewessler bezeichnete die Vorwürfe als „hemmungslos“. Schilling selbst äußerte, dass sie lieber über politische Inhalte diskutieren wolle, nämlich den Klimaschutz.

Destroying the Crimean Bridge makes no sense? Warning of Ukraine’s attacks on Putin’s symbol of power
He presses
The Crimean Bridge is a symbol of power for Putin – and a tempting target for Ukraine. But a Ukrainian intelligence expert recommends a different strategy in the war.
Kiev – The Russian regime warned of a „devastating retaliatory strike” if Ukraine attacks the Russian-annexed Crimea peninsula or the Crimean bridgehead again. The reason: There is speculation in Russia that Ukraine may be planning a major attack – on the occasion of “Victory Day,” which Russia marks on May 9 with an exhibition of captured military equipment. A simultaneous attack on the bridge connecting the peninsula to mainland Russia, It would be humiliating Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This was announced by a Ukrainian military intelligence officer in the British newspaper in April Watchman To: “We will destroy the bridge in the first half of 2024” The destruction of the bridge, which has already been attacked twice, is “inevitable.”
Now a Ukrainian intelligence expert is explicitly warning against destroying the Crimean Bridge. This is not out of fear of Putin’s revenge, but because he considers this a waste of Ukraine’s already scarce military resources.
“What will the destruction of the Crimean Bridge bring us?” Warning against wrong tactics in the Ukraine war
“What will the destruction of the Crimean Bridge bring us?” asks Ivan Stupak, a former employee of the Ukrainian Internal Intelligence Service. Interview with Ukrainian News Agency Union. Destroying the Crimean Bridge will be complex and difficult. The bridge was repeatedly damaged in previous attacks, but has since been restored. „It’s not doing well.”
Stupak believes that future attempts to destroy the bridge would be a waste of energy. Especially since Russia has now responded: it is clear that Putin’s army is no longer using the bridge for military purposes.
A Ukrainian open source agency recently found using satellite images that far fewer trains pass through the Kerch Bridge than in the past. Instead, Russia is now increasingly using land routes into the annexed areas of eastern Ukraine to supply the front lines of the Ukrainian war.
The head of Ukrainian domestic intelligence, Wasyl Malik, said in March 2024 that Russia would no longer use the Crimean bridge to deliver weapons. Trains that passed the bridge now transport only people and consumer goods.
In the war against Russia, Ukraine should attack other targets instead of the Crimean bridgehead
Ukrainian military expert Stupak recommends in an interview with Union Therefore, no more missiles and ammunition are wasted on attacks on the Kerch Bridge. Instead, the Ukrainian military should attack Russian targets whose destruction would be of greater benefit. Stupak cites „headquarters and depots” as examples, as well as air defense complexes, aircraft and airfields.
For example, if Ukraine destroyed a Russian S300 anti-aircraft missile complex, this would directly help Ukrainian defense: Russia could then immediately shoot down fewer Ukrainian planes and drop fewer missiles on soldiers, “meaning we don’t lose.” Any military or military forces.” Civilians. This is a great added value. This is also a direct effect.” Because they meant to “destroy Putin’s money.”
Experts recommend launching attacks on Russian fighter planes instead of the Crimean bridge
The Ukrainian expert said that the most important thing for Ukrainian defense in the war against Russia is the destruction of Russian fighter planes carrying high-explosive glide bombs. As a result of Russia’s use of so-called FAB bombs, the Ukrainian city of Avdiivka fell, which could now be repeated in the currently besieged city of Chasiv Yar.
The military expert warns that FAF glide bombs will penetrate Ukrainian defenses “like can launchers.” Therefore, Ukraine must destroy Russian combat aircraft directly where they are stationed or when they approach Ukraine. Stupak said that would be a „great advantage and opportunity to stop the Russian advance,” unlike the elaborate attacks on the Crimean bridge.
The latter, Stupak sees, are primarily PR campaigns “for Facebook”: “There will then be likes, memes and reposts for two days,” “But what will it bring us and how will it affect the situation at the front?” Decisive. (SMU)
