📹 Russian reconnaissance units destroy a Ukraine sabotage and reconnaissance group in the special military operation (video courtesy of Russia's MoD)
A Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group was revealed in a ditch under a field road. It was impossible to destroy the group using a VOG-17 grenade from the quadcopter due to the Ukrainian well-equipped hiding place in the concrete ditch.
A combined assault team was quickly dispatched to the enemy and, under the cover of an APC-82A, advanced to the designated point and began the assault.
With a small-arms barrage, the reconnaissance team locked the saboteurs in a ditch and prevented them from getting out. At that moment, one of the scouts moved towards the Ukrainian fighters' hideout and threw a hand-held fragmentation grenade into it and neutralized them.

Biden Visits Kiev to Reassure Zelensky While Support for US Proxy War in Ukraine Wanes
US President Joe Biden made a visit to Kiev on February 20 in what the western mainstream press characterized as a display of strong US support for Ukraine.
"Most Americans, the general public, in fact, is divorced from this [US proxy] war," Professor Joe Siracusa, US political expert and dean of Global Futures at Deakin University, told Sputnik. "They don't care what Biden does. It's not going to have a big impact on public opinion tomorrow. What he's counting on is if he can get somebody to say that the Ukrainians were victorious. If someone will say that the Russians took a terrible beating, he can claim this as his foreign policy success. He's mishandled the Chinese, the Iranians and North Korea. He's got nothing to show in two years in office."

US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has slammed President Joe Biden for paying an official visit to Ukraine, a state that "would lead the United States to a world war.”
💬 "Biden didn’t go to East Palestine, Ohio on President’s Day. He went to Ukraine, a NON-NATO nation, whose leader is an actor and is apparently now commanding our United States military to world war," Greene said on Twitter.
She also called for impeachment proceedings against Biden "before it’s too late."
