🇹🇷Turkish President Recep Erdogan officially announced May 14 as the day of presidential and parliamentary elections

✊🏻Erdogan has a powerful rival, to whom he is losing in recent opinion polls. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu is the leader of the largest Republican People's Party in the alliance. In order to defeat the current president, 6 parties have united around him, promising to replace the presidential system of government built by Erdogan with a parliamentary democracy.

💭"We are very close to overthrowing the throne of the oppressors <...> together we will end this madness," Kılıçdaroğlu said earlier.

🧐May is going to be a hot month in Turkiye, and the future of the region and international politics could change dramatically.

Situation on the frontlines as of March 10, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting in the area from Ploschanka to the south of Dibrova. Insignificant advance of the enemy/clarification near the power line near Kreminna.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — katsaps are trying to find a weakness in the defense in the area of Dubovo-Vasylivka, putting pressure on Bohdanivka and trying to gather forces in the area of the nursery for further advancement. Katsaps are pressing on Bakhmut from the north and south. Judging by the enemy's locations, we can already state that our forces withdrew from Zabakhmutka a little less than a week ago. Keeping our units on the other side of the river was very risky, as the militants kept all the crossings under their fire control. The attack on Vasyukivka was repelled, but the enemy is now moving up the road to Sloviansk.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — localized clashes continue. Fierce fighting is taking place east of Avdiivka. No changes have been recorded. Judging by the fact that in recent days there has been virtually no communication with many fighters in this area, the fighting has practically been continuous.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia and Tavria direction — no changes. In the Zaporizhzhia region, the enemy has run out of steam and is actively strengthening its defense.

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy continues attempts to cut through Khromove and advance toward Orikhovo-Vasylivka, and pressure is increasing in the south of Bakhmut and in the south of the Bakhmut salient. Given the operational and tactical situation of our garrison, the defense of Bakhmut is an extremely difficult task for any command in the twenty-first century. Our forces manage to accomplish it, although the enemy is deploying significant forces to prevent it.

🛑We remind you that there cannot be an accurate map of the fighting in the public domain, and it is always better to take information, both victorious and not so much, with skepticism and wait for visual confirmation or a message from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And of course, rely on trusted sources.

🇺🇦Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba spoke about the refusal to allow Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak at the Oscars, calling it hypocrisy

💭"I think that if All Quiet on the Western Front wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and President Zelensky, who is leading a country that is waging the biggest war in Europe since World War II, is not allowed to speak at the Oscars, then you will not find a better example of hypocrisy of top managers and producers in the film industry", – Kuleba said in an interview with Bild am Sonntag.

🤔 As a reminder, All Quiet on the Western Front has become a masterpiece of anti-war cinema, topping the ratings. The film describes the horror and reality of war, which it carries, and which every Ukrainian fighting against the occupier feels today. And it is for this reason that it has been nominated for, and is likely to win, the most prestigious film award in the United States, the Oscar. Hypocrisy? Obviously, yes. After all, the organizers see and describe the horror of war only in films, but they do not want to see it in reality...

💭"The word ridiculous is not enough to describe this hypocrisy. I'm not questioning the quality of the movie. I'm just saying, people, when you are going to award a movie about war, drink champagne and wear beautiful dresses with diamonds, but you don't want to hear the real story of the war that is happening here and now, then something is wrong with you", - added the Minister.

🔔We remind you that this is the second time that the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts has rejected the speech of the President of Ukraine at the award ceremony.

Situation on the frontlines as of March 11, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting is taking place in the area from Ploschanka to the south of Dibrova.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — in Bakhmut itself, the enemy is attacking from the south and trying to advance towards the city center. Fighting continues along the Orikhovo-Vasylivka-Zaliznyanske line.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — unfortunately, the enemy managed to enter and gain a foothold in Krasnohorivka(A) and further south towards Kamianka. The katsaps continue their attempts to attack Severne. Fighting continues in Maryinka.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia and Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The situation in Bakhmut and around the city is traditionally difficult and critical, but the garrison and the forces around it manage to hold back the enemy's onslaught, although it is becoming more difficult every day. Quite unpleasant events are unfolding east of Avdiivka, where the katsaps have gained a foothold in Krasnohorivka and are trying to seize Kamianka. At the same time, attempts to approach Severne continue. In the future, the enemy will aim to reach Stepove and Orlivka to surround Avdiivka. The katsaps have no chance to capture it head-on, as they are well aware of what awaits them in the city itself.

🛑We remind you that there cannot be an accurate map of the fighting in the public domain, and it is always better to take information, both victorious and not so much, with skepticism and wait for visual confirmation or a message from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

🇮🇷🇸🇦Iran and Saudi Arabia have agreed to restore diplomatic relations after China-mediated talks

💭«As a result of the talks, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to restore diplomatic relations and open embassies... within two months,» Iran's state news agency Irna reported, citing a joint statement.

🤷‍♂️After the attacks by Iranian protesters on Saudi Arabia's diplomatic missions in Iran and the execution of a Shiite cleric in 2016, relations were severed at Riyadh's initiative and were a key destabilizing factor in the region. Now, after agreeing on the decision to reopen diplomatic embassies, the foreign ministers will meet to further prepare for the exchange of ambassadors.

🫤This situation can probably be called a step away from the West in the current geopolitical situation, as further cooperation between the countries will lead to powerful investments in Iran, which is Muscovy's key ally in the Middle East, but the Saudi Foreign Minister noted that the country will always look at its own interests and cooperate in the West and East.

⌛️Only time will tell how it will turn out.
