Drive-by Molotov Attack on Russian Convoy an already out-of-service military vehicle being towed by a tractor!

Here is footage of an Alleged "Drive-by Molotov Attack"

Part 1 from the Vehicle
Part 2 from a Distance

Source Unverified

NOTE that the "Russian" military vehicle in question is being towed by a tractor, so the whole thing could just be badly produced Ukrainian propaganda.

Either that or these people aren't very smart at all.

Especially considering that they appear to have set fire to themselves in the process of attempting to throw a Molotov Cocktail at an already out-of-service military vehicle being towed by a tractor

🇷🇺 Igor Strelkov's (Ghirkin) analysis, 1 March

https://news.1rj.ru/str/CIG_telegram/18202

- An operation to surround the city of Nikolaev will be launched today

- Russian units in the south will eventually start moving towards cutting off the Ukrainian army group in the Donbass

- The enemy is withdrawing troops from Donbass to Dnepropetrovsk with heavy losses

- Mariupol is not completely surrounded, but aerial and artillery bombardment make troop movement impossible

- The Armed Forces of Ukraine are withdrawing from the Lugansk region in an organized manner, but with heavy losses

- Severodonetsk will not be abandoned without a fight, I expect the battle there to begin today

- Fierce urban battles were going on all over Kharkov yesterday

- Until Kharkov is taken, progress further west will be stalled

- The battles for Kharkov will not end today, it will take another day or more, depending on the enemy's morale

- There is no doubt Kharkov will be liberated, it is only a question of "when"

- I expect a lasting insurgency in Kharkov in the future

- The siege of Sumy and Chernigov continues, and Russian troops are advancing on Poltava; these cities have not yet been captured because of a lag in army units arriving in the region

Kiev front
- Russian troops advanced to the suburbs of Kiev - Brovary, and began to form the eastern front of the siege of the city

- I do not expect any direct attacks on Kiev until sufficient forces are concentrated here

- Russian troops are likely to attack the Boryspil airport and cut off the southbound highway

- Russian troops cut the Kiev - Zhitomir highway and are moving to cut the Kiev - Belaya Tserkov highway. The main Russian efforts today will be directed towards the latter, but the enemy will provide fierce resistance there to avoid encirclement

- The Kiev region is very built up, surbuban, and industrial, which is especially difficult for the attacking force - it requires lots of forces, but those forces are coming, I know that for sure.

- The garrison of Kiev will soon be surrounded.

🇷🇺 Russia 🇷🇺


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the situation in Ukraine:

🔸 US nuclear weapons in Europe are unacceptable for Russia, time to return them home

🔸 Russia is taking all measures to prevent Ukraine from obtaining nuclear weapons

🔸 Russia is ready to work with the United States on issues of strategic stability

🔸The US and its allies need to join the moratorium on the deployment of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty

🔸 Instead of dialogue with Russia, the EU chose the path of illegitimate sanctions

🔸 The situation in Ukraine is the result of the connivance of Western countries to support the criminal regime which formed after 2013

🔸 Lavrov hopes that Ukraine will realise the seriousness of the situation and the need to show independence during negotiations with Russia.

🔸 Lavrov says that the Neo-Nazi government in Ukraine does not represent all the people in the country.

Europe will NOT deliver fighter jets to Ukraine.

Poland has decided against it, and Slovakia's defense ministry spokesman just confirmed: "Slovakia will not supply fighter jets to Ukraine."

After Putin announced that he would understand the delivery and deployment of fighter jets to Ukraine as direct military interference by the respective country in the conflict, that would have been a de facto declaration of war between Russia and a NATO country.

No Eu Or Nato Fighter Plane Transfers To Ukraine Through Allied Airspace

BY JOHN VANDIVER• STARS AND STRIPES • MARCH 1, 2022

RZESZOW, Poland — NATO airspace will not be used to transfer fighter planes to the Ukrainian military, alliance leaders said Tuesday after a meeting in Poland, where top U.S. commanders were on hand for high-level security talks.

Ukraine has requested additional military hardware from the West to help stave off Russia’s full-scale invasion, which was on its sixth day when the NATO talks occurred.

NATO is not going to be part of the conflict,” Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said. So NATO is not going to send troops into Ukraine or move planes into Ukrainian airspace.”

On Monday, the European Union’s high representative, Josep Borrell, said numerous countries were prepared to provide Ukraine with fighter jets.

Ukraine’s parliament said Monday that Poland was among the countries ready to provide Soviet-era MiG-29 fighters.

Polish President Andrzej Duda spoke ambiguously Tuesday about how or whether those planes would arrive.

We are not going to send any jets into Ukrainian airspace,” said Duda, who did not indicate if Poland was considering an aircraft transfer over land, or who else might be delivering them.

Ukraine Gov LIED when the said "Russian forces fired at residential areas of Kharkov."

www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-02-28/dozens-killed-in-rocket-strikes-on-ukrainian-city-of-kharkiv-says-ukrainian-official

Video 1 shows "Garages" being targeted, not high-Rise residences.

Video 2: same scene, different angle.

Video 3: posted by a Ukr Nat supporter. It cannot be seen exactly what was targeted, BUT we are clearly meant to presume the High-rise residences were targeted.

"Rocket Strikes Kill 11 in Ukrainian City of Kharkiv, Says Regional Official

At least 11 people were killed on Monday (Feb. 28) in rocket strikes on residential districts of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv according to Ukraine Gov sources.
"

Ukr Gov is not being 100% truthful when they claim "residential areas were targeted."

Therefore the claim that "civilians were deliberately targeted" should not be taken at face value.

WAR CRIMES

Ukrainian Army artillery has been targeting civilians today in the Donetsk area of Donbass South East Ukraine.

The DNR ( Russian-Speaking Independant Republic, Ex-Ukraine) claims it was deliberately aimed at residential areas.

OSCE observer reports demonstrate that the Ukraine army has been regularly targeting Russian-speaking civilians in Donbass with artillery fire, on an almost daily basis for most of the past 8 years.
