On April 23, 2024, the Russia-Ukraine war entered its 790th day.
In the past 24 hours, "cigarette butts" have been flying indiscriminately in Russia recently, and fires have continued.
First of all, an industrial enterprise in Orikhovo-Zuyevo, near Moscow, was set on fire, with a total area of 1,200 square meters.
Then there was the fire after an explosion in the railway transfer area in the St. Petersburg region.
FINALLY, THE "ELMASH" ELECTROMECHANICAL PLANT IN VORONEZH CAUGHT FIRE, BURNING AN AREA OF MORE THAN 3000 SQUARE METERS.
I have said many times before that strikes by the Ukrainian army on targets in Russia will be normalized.
Now it turns out that my judgment is reliable.
I remember that in the first year of the war, after the fire and explosion in the Mega kimgi shopping center in Moscow, a Russian blogger wrote sadly on his homepage:
"Mega kimgi was founded in 2000, and for most Muscovites it was the beginning of a good era, which is now gone with the fire."
The year 2000 was the beginning of someone's rule. He once gave the Russians a dream of prosperity and strength, and then smashed it with his own hands.
Back to the Ukrainian battlefield.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday the capture of Nova Hyriivka. Considering the appearance of Russian troops two days ago at the western end of Nova Hyriivka, this news may well be true.
In the Bakhmut theater, 2 Russian Su-25s were once again photographed flying at an ultra-low altitude in Chasov Yar.
Without air defense systems, the Ukrainian army cannot shoot them down.
On the other hand, the Russian Ministry of Defense claims that some units of Russia's Army Group South occupied Bohdanivka (northeast of Chasov Yar), but the Institute for the Study of War says no visual evidence has been observed to confirm this claim.
At the same time, the Institute for the Study of War warned that Ukraine could face more pressure in the coming weeks, before the arrival of long-range missile and anti-aircraft weapons from the United States.
Senator Mark Warner, chairman of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, said on April 21 that if the Senate passes the supplemental appropriations bill on April 23 and Biden signs it by April 24, the 300-kilometer Army Tactical Missile (ATACMS) could enter the battlefield in Ukraine this week.
Yesterday's results announced by the General Staff of Ukraine.
Let's take a look at the other news.
Israel has stepped up its efforts to destroy Hamas and has begun bombing Rafah, south of Gaza — where two more brigades are reportedly entrenched.
There is a video showing that Israel used 2,000 pounds of aerial bombs to blow up Hamas tunnels.
Khamenei announced that Iran's overseas proxy forces had resumed their assault on Israel.
Iranian-backed forces in Iraq then fired rockets at U.S. military bases in Syria, hitting Syrian oil pipelines and causing fires.
Russia's Black Sea Fleet outlook for 2025.
Polish President Duda said that Poland is ready to allow NATO to deploy nuclear missiles on its territory. He said:
"If our allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons on our territory as part of NATO's nuclear-sharing program to strengthen NATO's eastern flank, we are prepared to do so. ”
Russia recently opened the devil's box by completing the delivery of tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, which borders Poland.
South Korean demonstrators demanded that Putin-linked conductor Spivakov be banned from the festival.
They say that no theater in the world should allow the supporters of this aggressive policy to appear on stage.
Five years ago, on April 2, the Ukrainian people chose Zelensky as the 6th president of Ukraine.
At that time, no one knew how they made the right choice, but now he has proved it to them.
More than 100 years ago, the legendary Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861, a long-time poet who called for Ukraine to break away from Tsarist Russia and was a hero in the hearts of Ukrainians) once said:
"The time is near, and on the plains of Ukraine, the people who are in bondage will break their chains. May your children be blessed on this land, and by touching your toiled hands, our days of hope will come and the glory of Ukraine will be restored".
Now, Shevchenko's prophecy is coming true, and little by little, the people in bondage are breaking their chains and moving towards a hopeful future.
This future, as Zelensky once portrayed, "is a free and prosperous country in which reason, decency and justice will prevail." Its citizens will always remember who they are and the price they paid for their rights".
