Russian troops suffered another setback yesterday as they abandoned the village of Lyman at the confluence of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions and a key railway link. With this Ukrainian advance, others are expected in the coming days in the Lugansk region, and the scenario that occurred with the liberation of Isium in Kharkiv, i.e. the recovery of a large territory, could be repeated.
But this Kiev victory comes hours later Performance by Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin and Red Square, the Russian leader has promised that the four annexed regions – including Luhansk – will be protected by all means, so regime commentators are demanding action. Chechnya’s leader, who has already threatened to invade Poland, has called for the use of nuclear bombs.
“I don’t know what the defense ministry is reporting to the commander [Putin]But in my opinion, drastic measures should be taken, such as declaring martial law in the border areas and using low-yield nuclear weapons,” wrote Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen region. The tirade blamed the region’s commander, General Lapin, for withdrawing the headquarters 150 kilometers from the front line.
“For my part, I will demote him as a private soldier, with a machine gun in his hands, and send him to the front line to cleanse the shame with blood”, defended the Chechen, who leads the region through terrorism.
Reports of a Putin ally criticizing a certain military figure and, more seriously, resuming the nuclear threat are more revealing. The rhetoric received approval from another controversial figure, Yevgeny Prigozhin, owner of the Wagner mercenary group. “Send all these pieces of junk, barefoot, with machine guns, straight ahead”, extends the range to other military officers.
Meanwhile, European allies are unmoved in the face of threats: German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht visited Ukraine for the first time, pledging to soon deploy the advanced IRIS-T anti-aircraft system. According to Monde reported More French-made Caesar long-range howitzers (between six and 12) sent to Denmark.
Ukrainian authorities Meanwhile, he accused the Russian army of killing 24 civilians, including a pregnant woman and 13 children in an attack on a caravan in the recently recovered area of Kharkiv. Preliminary investigation has revealed that six cars and trucks were attacked on the 25th.
Kiev condemned the “illegal detention” of Ihor Murasov and called for the immediate release of the director of the Ukrainian-run Zaporizhia nuclear power plant under Moscow’s military control. According to Energoatom, Ukraine’s nuclear company, it was carried out “in an unknown direction”, indiscriminately.
