Good morning!
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 8,317 civilians have been killed - this figure is given in the new summary of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The document emphasizes that this is not complete data, since it is impossible to obtain reliable information from the regions occupied by Russia. And the war continues:
- Prigozhin informed Shoigu about the preparatory offensive by the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces near Bakhmut and asked to prevent the Wagnerians from the units of the regular Russian army.
- On Tuesday night, the city of Dzhanka in annexed Crimea was attacked by drones.

Military reports
On the night of Monday, the city of Donetsk region, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka and Avdeevka (there are destruction and injured, were without sacrifices, were subjected to Russian shelling. Read about three thousand civilians in a fresh bahmuth about the humanitarian situation in the clock yar - a city ten kilometers from the besieged bahmuth: about three thousand civilians remain, the water has to be taken in the neighboring village of Kalinovka, where volunteers are traveling under fire.
Anna Maryar described the situation in Bakhmut by the deputy minister of Ukraine with the words “Opportunities have not yet been exhausted”. The American Institute for the Study of the War claims that the Ukrainian army managed to locally push the Russian forces east near Bakhmut, and evaluates Ukraine’s chances to intercept the initiative as “good”. Prigozhin expects Ukrainian counterattack “at the end of March - early April”: he turned to Shoiga with a letter in which he asks the Minister of Defense to prevent the Wagnerians from the regular Russian army. British military intelligence notes the similarity of the situation in Avdeevka near Donetsk with a position in Bakhmut: Avdeevka is almost surrounded, but Ukrainian troops - for reasons known only by them - are in no hurry to leave there.
17 countries of the European Union and Norway agreed on the supply of Ukraine of a million shells over the next 12 months. The US State Department announced the allocation of a new, 34th package of assistance to Ukraine at $ 350 million: there will be ammunition for Himars and BMP Bradley, HARM anti-radiation missiles, anti-tank garnathers, m777 howitzers and military river boats that are used to land landing.
On Monday evening, the city of Dzhanka in annexed Crimea was attacked by drones. The Russian authorities of Crimea explained the shooting and explosions with the work of the air defense, and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported the destruction of the Caliber NK missiles, which were transported by rail. It is impossible to check this.
In the occupied territories
The GUR of Ukraine commented on the reports of the Russian authorities about the murder of the nameless “platoon commander of the PPS” in the occupied part of the Kherson region: according to their data, the head of the regional pre -trial detention center Sergey Moskalenko, who is called the “organizer of the grave”, was killed.
In the video of Putin’s meeting with grateful residents of Mariupol, which was posted on the Kremlin’s website, you can hear the woman shouting: “This is all not true! This is for show!”. The mayor of Mariupol, Peter Andryushchenko, did not call the name of this woman so that she did not “finish the FSB”, but spoke in detail about the “grateful” participants in the meeting: according to his data, these are “kidney”, that is, the expecters of the “Russian world”, actively engaged in looting during the siege of the city and after its occupation. Andryushchenko called the basic sensation that caused Putin's arrival in almost destroyed Mariupol. Explaining why Putin generally went to Mariupol, Russian political scientist Ivan Preobrazhensky notes the Russian ruler of the Russian ruler in the Russian -speaking Ukrainian regions and the importance of the city, which symbolizes the breakdown of the land corridor to the Crimea (there are still funny discussions about doubles).
Read about how Russia in its war against Ukraine is trying to destroy not only the present and future, but also the past, read in the material about the destruction and export of Ukrainian archives - including the KGB archives.
"Carefully look at the sky"
The Russian Investigative Committee announced the initiation of criminal cases against the prosecutor and judges of the International Criminal Court, who issued the arrest warrant of Putin and the Russian children's Ombudsman. The Russian prosecutor Russia accuses of "bringing the obviously innocent criminal liability" and "preparing to attack a representative of a foreign state enjoying international protection in order to complicate international relations." Judges are charged with "deliberately illegal detention", as well as "preparation to attack a representative of a foreign state." Former Russian President Medvedev, for his part, described the actions of the Musa judges with these words: “Look, they say, we are brave, did not cesspool his hand to the largest nuclear power” and threatened to hit the Musa building in The Hague with a hypersvukov “Onyx”. What can be dangerous for Putin, the Hague order is explained here by political analyst Alexander Baunov.
There were no high -profile international statements about this warrant on Monday - in particular, because Hungary, according to Bloomberg , blocked the EU joint statement. China with the lips of Van Vanbini demanded that the Hague “respect the immunity of the heads of state” from the Hague, and the US Secretary of State said that the visit of the PRC chairman to Moscow after the issuance of the IRU Order, Putin’s arrest, serves as a “diplomatic cover” to continue the criminal Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The chairman of SI was warmly welcomed in Moscow (at the airfield he was met by Zaykov, Slyunkov, Viletnikov Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government Dmitry Chernyshenko), the city was in traffic jams. The Kremlin was an informal meeting of Putin and Xi Jinping, it lasted four hours. In the open part of Putin’s conversation, he congratulated the dear friend of SI on the re -election for the third term, and the dear friend of SI expressed confidence in the re -election of Putin into the fifth (or sixth) period in 2024. The war of Russia in Ukraine is beneficial to China - first of all, by the fact that it distracts the attention of the United States from China, but also by the revival of trade relations with Russia on conditions that are very pleasant for Beijing. This converges Chinesist Alexei Chigadaev and the former Russian diplomat Boris Bondarev , who resigned due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The problem with the burial of the Wagnerians who served in the Kuban was resolved in favor of Prigozhin: the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory ordered the hot key administration to provide all kinds of assistance in "holding the fallen soldiers and officers on the last journey." About how the Kadyrovites killed in Ukraine heroize in Ukraine are described here (schoolchildren are the main addressee of propaganda).
