Ukraine on another retreat in Donbass

Kiev’s forces reportedly withdrew from the village of Lastochkino to safeguard their supply lines and conserve manpower.

Ukrainian troops have abandoned the settlement of Lastochkino, a few kilometers west of the strategic city of Avdeevka recently captured by Russian troops, the local outlet Strana reported on Saturday citing Ukraine’s military.

The website cited a Ukrainian volunteer fighting with the neo-Nazi Aidar battalion as saying that units had to withdraw from the area to “avoid the blocking of their logistical routes” and to “save personnel.” The Ukrainian Telegram channel DeepState confirmed the development, wondering where the Ukrainian high command would announce the preparation of a new defensive line.

First Abrams tanks sighted near Avdeevka

Ukraine received 31 of the US-made vehicles several months ago, which have since been conspicuously absent from the battlefield.

Moscow’s forces have for the first time spotted M1 Abrams main battle tanks on the Donbass front, a senior Russian official has said. A batch of the US-made heavy armor was delivered to Ukraine last year.

In an interview with TASS on Sunday, Igor Kimakovsky, who serves as an adviser to the head of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), said that the US-supplied vehicles had been sighted northwest of the city of Avdeevka which was recently captured by Russian troops.

The official did not provide further detail on the number of Abrams, their apparent combat readiness, or how Ukrainian commanders were deploying them. However, Kimakovsky also noted that Kiev’s troops were actively using drones near Avdeevka.

G7 pledges to keep bankrolling Ukraine

The money will be focused on reconstruction and Kiev’s budget gap, according to the group’s statement.

The Group of Seven (G7) leading economies on Saturday pledged to continue providing financial aid to Kiev while keeping up sanctions pressure on Moscow.

According to a joint statement of the G7 leaders following their online summit marking two years since the start of the Ukraine conflict, their current key priority is reconstruction and Kiev’s budget deficit.

“We will help Ukraine meet its urgent financing needs… We will continue to support Ukraine’s right to self-defense and reiterate our commitment to Ukraine’s long-term security,” the statement reads.

Kiev demanded ‘victory plan’ from military with no resources

Civilian officials did not tell the army how many soldiers and weapons it would receive, Viktor Nazarov has said.

The Ukrainian government wanted the military to figure out how Kiev could defeat Russia but failed to provide data on what resources it had to achieve that goal, an adviser to former Ukrainian commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny has said.

In an interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, General Viktor Nazarov offered a glimpse into one of the reasons for the rift between the country’s military and civilian authorities last year.

He noted that army officials were troubled by demands from the government in Kiev, which wanted them to draw “a road map for victory without telling them the amount of men, ammunition and reserves they would have to execute any plan.”

Most Ukraine aid ‘goes right back’ to US

The money that Washington allocates for Kiev supports jobs in America, the high-ranking State Department official has said.

Washington spends most of the money allocated as aid for Ukraine on weapons production at home, Acting US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said in an interview with CNN this week.

Commenting on the pending aid package which Congress failed to approve before going on winter recess, Nuland said she has “strong confidence” that it will pass, as it addresses America’s own interests.

“We have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into the US economy, to make weapons, including good-paying jobs in some forty states across the US,” she stated, adding that support for Ukraine in America “is still strong.”

Russia presents an intellectual alternative to Western neocolonialism.

The forum provided blueprints for economic, technological, and cultural development in a post-Western hegemony world.

"Our formations are open to everybody, and are meant for free and sovereign people,"

- Maria Zakharova

Commenting on the Tucker-Putin interview, Zakharova noted that the Russian President Vladimir Putin has been saying the same things he told Tucker Carlson for years, going back to the 2007 Munich Conference.
The reason this interview is being called historic is that the Western media is deliberately trying to keep Russia’s message from the rest of the world, the spokeswoman added.
She also underlined that the dominance of Western media is information colonialism: "Why are you learning about Russia from CNN and Reuters?"
