🇩🇪Germany's Minister Of Justice Marco Buschmann stated the country is ready to arrest putin if he decides to arrive there

🫡Buschmann expects the ICC to operatively contact InterPol and the member countries to ask their representatives to comply with the warrant requirements

💭"I expect the ICC to contact InterPol and member countries and ask them to ensure the warrant execution" - Buschmann stated

🤝Earlier, chancellor Olaf Sholz approved the decision during his visit to Japan

💭"International Criminal Court is an appropriate institution for investigating war crimes....The thing is, no one is above law, and its something that is becoming clear right now" — Sholz stated.

🐵As a reminder, the International Court in Hague had issued an arrest warrant for putin

✈️ A video of a clash between a Ukrainian Bayraktar drone and a russian fighter jet(presumably, Su-27) over the Black Sea has surfaced online

⛳️ The fighter jet tried to take the UAV down using the same tactic utilized when downing an MQ-9 Reaper drone recently. But the drone pilot managed to keep the bird in the air (at least by the time of the video being filmed)

🤔Its possible that the fighter jet pilot couldn't recognize the UAV type and determine who it belongs to, which stopped him from using the rockets to avoid international conflict. All on all, it is an interesting episode that can be used as an additional advertisement of the "Baykar" corporation, while also providing an answer to those who wonder where are all the Bayraktar drones: they are working, albeit not publicly, within their capability limits.

🇵🇱"We will be forced to enter into a conflict" - Jan Emerick Rosciszewski

🎥On Saturday, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Poland to France Jan Emerik Rosciuszewski was a guest of the French news television LCI, where he expressed an interesting opinion on Poland's participation in the russian-Ukrainian war:

💭"Therefore, either Ukraine will defend its independence today, or if it does not, we will be forced to get involved in this conflict, because our highest values, which are the basis of our civilization, are under threat, so we will have no choice", — Roscishevsky said, commenting on the government's decision to transfer the MiG-29 to Ukraine.

💭"It's not NATO, not Poland, not France, not Slovakia that is increasing tensions. russia has attacked Ukraine, russia is invading, killing people, kidnapping Ukrainian children", — the Polish ambassador emphasized.

❔These words were later clarified by the deputy head of Polish diplomacy, Paweł Jablonski. The deputy minister "admitted that he had heard only some sentences from the Polish diplomat's statements" and "he would have to read the entire context of the conversation." At the same time, he noted that Poland could always become the target of muscovy's aggressive tendencies.

💭"But if we are a country that is on russia's list of targets, maybe not at the top, but somewhere very high, then it is obvious that such a threat exists. If russia had such an opportunity, it would attack other countries. And it's not about wanting to go to war, it's just that we could become a victim of an attack. And I think this is what the ambassador meant", — Jablonski said.

🔥 The 66th Mechanized Brigade is hitting the katsap group southwest of Ploschanka. The location was previously considered a gray area

📍 deepstatemap.live/en#16/49.1863/38.0560

🔥 The Skala unit fried the f***ers near the pond in the north-east of Bohdanivka. Judging by the situation, the windbreak, which is already followed by the village itself, is not under our control

📍 deepstatemap.live/en#15/48.6316/37.9095

🔥 One of the videos from our fighters shows an RPG attack on a building near School #2 in Bakhmut

🕷 The "Adam" Joint Tactical Group units continue to eliminate trench rats that are crawling across the fields from Klishchiyivka

📍 deepstatemap.live/en#15/48.5561/37.9200

🔥 The water utility was hit north of Bakhmut. Katsaps were just leaving the building and some part of the column, unfortunately, managed to move to a safe distance

Situation on the frontlines as of March 19, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting is taking place in the area from the Ploschanka district to the south of Dibrova. The katsaps are particularly active near Hryanykivka, Masiutivka and Dibrova.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy attacks from Dubove-Vasylivka in the direction of the Kraine tract. The enemy failed to gain a foothold at the height of 224.0. Katsaps expanded their control zone near Zaliznyanske. In Bakhmut itself and near Ivanivske, the situation was clarified based on visual confirmation. Insignificant enemy advance near Bohdanivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues from Avdiivka to Maryinka. No changes were recorded.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes. Numerous strikes on the enemy by our artillery were recorded.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Despite the fact that the situation in Bakhmut is not improving, the garrison manages to hold the main part of the city and prevent the flanks from breaking through to the rear of our positions. Judging by the dynamics of the last few days, in the short term, the main task of the wagner militants will be to gain access to the SD-D canal near Novomarkove.

🚀EU ministers agree to transfer 1 million 155 mm artillery rounds to Ukraine within a year

💬"Today we all say together that we will give Ukraine 1 million rounds of ammunition. Now we will find a solution. It will be stockpiles of EU member states or purchases at the expense of the European Peace Fund. There are different options for this. I am confident that the people who are responsible for the technical details will finalize everything," Hanno Pevkur said during a conversation with journalists.

🇰🇷The involvement of third countries, including South Korea, is not ruled out to cover Ukraine's needs.

🤝Earlier, the EU countries agreed to accelerate and increase the production of artillery ammunition at their own defense enterprises.

🏭In particular, 15 companies have been identified that can produce artillery shells of NATO 155 mm caliber, and another 5 - of Soviet 152 mm caliber. The list of companies may be expanded, as the search for companies continues.

🗡 In one of the videos of our fighters, footage appeared showing a sniper's position being struck in a high-rise building on Korsunsky Street (near the garages)

Situation on the frontlines as of March 20, 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. The enemy resumed attempts to attack Novoselivske.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — katsaps are entrenching themselves on Korsunsky Street in Bakhmut. In the south of the city, they also have advances from the Mariupol cemetery and higher. Attempts to break through our defense continue in the windbreak in the north of Bakhmut. The enemy's offensive is aimed at Khromove, Bohdanivka, Hryhorivka, Novomarkove, Orikhovo-Vasylivka and Minkivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues to the west of Krasnohorivka, and the information about the withdrawal or even capturing of Stepove is not true. The enemy's attempts to attack from Vodyane and Opytne failed and resulted in losses on their side.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy continues to use the tactic of looking for weaknesses in Bakhmut, which is why numerous attempts are underway in many places to find a weakness in the defense in order to build on it. Our soldiers are aware of this, but the enemy still has enough manpower for such tactics. The situation in the south of Bakhmut remains critical.
