🇷🇴🤝 Romania and Poland to carry out joint purchases of military equipment

✍️The Romanian-Polish commission will determine what military procurement can be carried out jointly by the two countries.

🗣"Cooperation in the field of defense, in various sectors, harmonization of parameters for procurement, training, storage, maintenance, as well as joint procurement of military equipment for European money to fight together with Ukraine shows how real our alliance is," - said Polish Prime Minister Mateusz MorawieckiP during a meeting in Bucharest.

🫡In addition, the Polish government adopted a resolution on the creation of a multi-year program "National Ammunition Reserve" - the country intends to expand and diversify the national base for the production of multi-caliber ammunition and replenish stocks in accordance with the growing needs associated with the expansion of the potential of the Polish Armed Forces.

💭"Today, the Council of Ministers has adopted a decision on a national program that will increase the capacity of ammunition production in Poland <...> I call on private companies, state-owned companies, foreign companies... to take up the challenge as soon as possible and establish new ammunition production plants in Poland," - Morawiecki said during a press conference.

🌍The heads of government also discussed the Three Seas Initiative:

💬"I firmly believe that in this triangle between Ukraine, Romania, and Poland, it will soon be possible to build really meaningful strategic plans for the future - strategic plans that will be very ambitious on the economic, investment, and business side," - the Polish Prime Minister said.

🇵🇱🇧🇾"Belarus will definitely face new European sanctions because of Russia's plan to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in the country" - Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki

🗣"This step taken by russia... the announcement of the deployment of nuclear weapons in Belarus will certainly lead to the announcement of additional sanctions, the level of sanctions will be much more severe for the lukashenko regime," - Morawiecki said at a press conference in Bucharest.

🇱🇹A similar statement was made by Lithuania: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement about the deployment of nuclear weapons in the territory of Belarus that the country regards this as another attempt by two unpredictable dictatorial regimes to threaten their neighbors and the entire European continent.

✍️"These are desperate steps by putin and lukashenko aimed at creating another wave of tension and destabilization in Europe. These actions are dragging Belarus into a war with Ukraine and confrontation with the democratic world. Belarus, which is increasingly losing its sovereignty, supporting and facilitating russian aggression, and increasingly integrating into russia's military plans, is an additional risk factor for the Baltic region. Lithuania will discuss with its Euro-Atlantic partners how to respond to these militaristic plans of the russian and Belarusian regimes. As part of the response, Lithuania will call for new sanctions," - the statement reads.

🇧🇾Potato Fuhrer says that Muscovy can deploy intercontinental missiles on the territory of Belarus if necessary

🗣In his annual address to parliament and the people, lukashenko said that moscow's plans to deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of the country "will help defend against NATO."

💭"I am not trying to intimidate or blackmail anyone. I want to preserve the Belarusian state and ensure peace for the Belarusian people <...> If necessary, putin and I will make a decision and deploy strategic weapons if necessary," the self-proclaimed president said during a press conference.

🤡 Not even mentioning the "NATO aggression" manual:

🗯"Take my word for it, I have never lied to you. They are preparing to invade belarus, to destroy our country."

🍒The icing on the cake is a call to end hostilities on the territory of Ukraine:

"There is only one question: what to do? You all understand and know that there is only one way: negotiations. Negotiations without preconditions. I'll try to take a chance and propose a cessation of hostilities. Declare a truce without the right to move, and regroup troops on both sides, without the right to transfer weapons and ammunition, manpower, and equipment! Everything is quiet, frozen!"

🚀 Demonstration of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) "smart bombs" used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to destroy the Russian occupier

🇺🇦Yesterday, Air Force Command spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said that the Ukrainian Air Force is already using JDAM kits for aircraft bombs.

💭"We use JDAM bombs. These are western-style bombs that our aviation uses to successfully strike important targets. These bombs are slightly less powerful but extremely accurate. I would like to have more of these bombs for success at the front," - said Yuriy Ihnat in the interview.

🗂Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a set of equipment based on GPS technology that transforms simple free-fall bombs into all-weather adjustable smart munitions.

🚀 It was claimed to be the destruction of enemy positions by the Tochka-U system and the blowing up of a bridge over the railway in Bakhmut

The explosion took place on the territory of the Makiivka Steel Works plant in Bakhmut. The combat contact line may be even further, but for now, this is how we have shifted it.

🔥 The katsaps collected mines in Vesele to "sew up" their positions, but the 110th Mechanized Brigade's Control and Artillery Reconnaissance Battery decided otherwise

🚀Katsaps are hitting the outskirts of the forest east of Avdiivka with incendiary shells. A drone with a thermal imager is adjusting all this from the air

📍 deepstatemap.live/en#16/48.1247/37.8057

Situation on the frontlines as of April 1, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. The enemy is trying to find weaknesses in the forests of Kreminna.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy's main efforts are directed at the center, south, and north of Bakhmut. In the north, the loss of the Makiivka Metal Structures Plant in Bakhmut was confirmed. A railway bridge was also blown up. Fighting continues in the center of the city, and in the south, the enemy is trying to expand the bridgehead on Tsentralna Street.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes were recorded, there were reports of fighting in the area of Vodiane and Pervomaiske.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Compared to early March, the enemy has reduced the intensity of fighting in many places. It looks like fatigue and preparation for an attempt to restore offensive potential. A year ago, the losses of villages and towns were among the issues of the day, and now we are discussing factories, streets, and houses that the enemy is capturing as a result of its attacks. In some places, the katsaps are trying to exaggerate the data on their attacks and gray zones to show their freaks that the war is ongoing and the combat contact line is actively changing. Only in the Svatove direction, the enemy has accomplished the minimum task of throwing the Defense Forces away from Kreminna, while in the rest of the directions, the enemy's plans have failed. Of course, the battle for Bakhmut is still going on in the city itself, but their plan to take the city without fighting has also failed.

🇪🇪"Ukraine reminds us that freedom must be better armed than tyranny" - Kaja Kallas at the Democracy Summit 2023

👥The Summit for Democracy is a virtual summit organized by the United States "to restore democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad."

💭"We cannot take democracy for granted. Democracy needs to be taken care of every day. If we want to continue to live in freedom, we must demonstrate our willingness to take all measures to protect our democracies. And sometimes that means fighting for it. Ukraine is a reminder of that. Ukraine also reminds us that freedom must be better armed than tyranny. And here we all have a duty to make sure that freedom wins," the Estonian Prime Minister said in her speech.
