On April 21, 2024, the Russia-Ukraine war entered its 788th day.
Geolocation footage and other images released by Russia show the successful arrival of Russian troops on the western outskirts of Novomikhailivka.
It is quite possible that the Ukrainian army has already left the settlements and is heading to the west in search of more advantageous positions.
In all fairness, the 79th Brigade, which is responsible for defending the area, has done well, destroying 314 sets of Russian equipment so far this year.
In addition to this, there has been a lot of good news on the Ukrainian side over the past 24 hours.
The first was the raid on the Russian command post in the center of Bakhmut by Hippocampus, which successfully demilitarized 8 commanders.
According to reports, the Ukrainian military fired 2 rockets at the command post of the 98th Kostroma Regiment of the 331st Airborne Division of the Russian Army in a two-story administrative building in the center of Bakhmut, eliminating 8 officers of the regiment. Including: intelligence chief Satarin, artillery chief: Prokopiev, communications chief Kotov, senior assistant to the chief of staff Panteleyev.
This is followed by another successful Ukrainian attack on the energy infrastructure that powers military industrial facilities in Russia itself.
Yesterday, almost simultaneously with the Russian air strikes on Ukraine, the joint operational teams of the Ukrainian GUR, SBU and SSO launched about 50 drones into the territory of Russia, flying towards 8 regions of the Russian Federation.
As a result, at least three substations and a fuel storage base caught fire, including ensuring the distribution of electricity at the Kursk, Smolensk and Novovoronezh nuclear power plants, as well as the Novobryanskaya substation (750 kV) with electricity to the Bryansk Machavod military plant, as well as Luke's Kaldmovo oil depot.
Finally, there is the U.S. Aid Act.
As I expected, members of the U.S. House of Representatives passed a $95 billion aid bill, including a $60.8 billion budget for Ukraine, which was passed by a vote of 311 to 112.
Afterwards, parliamentarians stood up and waved Ukrainian flags in celebration.
Of the $60.8 billion, $49 billion is military aid, which is very large. You know, in the previous two years, the United States provided a total of $74.3 billion to Ukraine, of which $46.3 billion was military aid.
In addition, the bill specifically calls for the supply of army tactical missiles to Ukraine, as well as a clear plan to achieve victory, which is a significant step forward from Biden's "conflict management" strategy.
There is no doubt that this is an extremely important historical moment. The United States, after all, is still that America.
President Zelensky immediately issued a message expressing his gratitude:
"I thank the U.S. House of Representatives, the Democrats and Republicans, and Speaker Mike Johnson himself for the decision to keep history on the right track. Democracy and freedom will always have global significance, and as long as the United States helps protect it, it will never fail. The important American aid bill passed by the House of Representatives today will stop the war from spreading, save thousands of lives, and help our two countries emerge stronger. Peace and security can only be achieved through strength, and we hope that the bill will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden's desk. Thank you, America!".
Biden said that "the US Senate should approve the bill to aid Ukraine as soon as possible in order to send weapons to Kyiv as soon as possible."
U.S. Defense Department officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Politico magazine that the Pentagon is ready to urgently allocate ammunition to Ukraine from warehouses in Europe when the House bill passes, and it will only take a few days to reach the battlefield.
Finally, the last old video: 500 days.
Ukraine has survived the cold winter and is about to usher in the spring flowers.
