Russian telegram channels are celebrating an early victory: ⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 19 Feb 2024 by 20:07⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, without changes, an AFU boats were sunk again during an attempt to land on the left bank.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, our forces are heavily fighting for #Rabotino, both sides are digging into the positions. So far it is known that ours in fierce fighting have reached the geographical outskirts of the village from the west, south and southeast. The AFU positions are already being attacked from three sides. Advancement is also recorded near #Verbovoye.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our units are advancing west of #Staromayorskoye and in the area of #Prechistovka. Our Artillery thwarted AFU attempts to rotate their forward positions.

🔹In #Avdeyevka Direction, our sappers report that the mining in the city is dense, there are many traps. They are not surprised to meet a lot of #NATO weapons. Meanwhile, our forces are attacking #Lastochkino, where the enemy's presence remains. The AFU's aim is to gain time to consolidate on the main defensive line. At #Nevelskoye, our troops advanced about 1 more km.

🔹In the #Bakhmut Direction, our army is approaching the outskirts of #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) with a broad front from #Khromovo to #Chernobylts. The half-encirclement of the AFU in the village looms. And our military has already gained a foothold in its northeastern outskirts. Our Aerospace Forces, artillery and drone pilots continue to very methodically hit any AFU targets in the direction of .Chasov Yar up to pickups.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, on the #Seversk front, our forces pushed the AFU back about 1 km on the approaches to #Vasyukovka and gained a foothold in the landing. In the #Liman sector, the further advance on #Terny is not easy. In #Kupyansk sector, after the liberation of #Krakhmalnoye and #Tabayevka, there has been no progress for some time. Meanwhile, our artillery is active. The reason that Zelensky is near #Kupyansk today is the high risk of activation of attacks from our army. It is said that there is a high accumulation of our forces.

💥The AFU struck #Makeyevka with MLRS today, damaged an oil depot, there is a wounded man. Three children in #Panteleymonovka and a resident of #Donetsk were injured. Furthermore they tried to attack a civilian facility in #Mariupol by a British kamikaze drone with 7 kg of explosives. It was intercepted and landed. #Ukraine reports that they have shot down two more Russian aircraft. So far it is known that our plane was shot down near #Mariupol. Moreover, according to the first version, by our own air defence. The MoD refrains from commenting which is not a good trend.

🎯Our Forces hit In #Kramatorsk enterprises used by the AFU to create armored parts for military equipment. In one of the hangars, a Bradley IFV was covered. In #Lvov, an enterprise producing drones burned at night. They write that the underground put down their security and set the plant on fire.

TESTIMONY 3

Svetlana Vladimirovna Surma (54 years old). Place of residence at the time of the survey- #Mariupol Korolenko Lane.
" There was an #Azov sniper settled in a house near us in Korolenko Lane. The #Azovstal plant was located near us. The #sniper was shooting at small children. When families left their houses, he first killed the children of 3-5 years old, then their parents. You would walk and see people fall in front of you. We ran to my husband who was in a different district and watched all this. There were no Russian or #Donetsk soldiers, only Ukrainian divisions and Azov. When they climbed down from the attic, I saw they had a sniper's rifle with a sight and wore the blue armbands. They looked at us with a wicked smile. They saw us as animals for target practice.
I was saved by Chechen soldiers. They took us out and later Donetsk fighters helped get us first to Novoyazovsk and later here in Donetsk."

Arte - Mariupolis 2 (Originalfassung, UT deutsch)

Deutschland/Frankreich/Litauen 2022 | arte

Als Russland die Ukraine überfiel, kehrte Mantas Kvedaravicius nach Mariupol zurück, wo er 2015 bereits seinen Dokumentarfilm “Mariupolis” gedreht hatte. Als er beim Versuch, das Land wieder zu verlassen, von der russischen Armee getötet wurde, schmuggelte seine Lebensgefährtin die Aufnahmen über die Grenze. “Mariupolis 2” ist das filmische Vermächtnis des Regisseurs und setzt gleichzeitig den Menschen ein Denkmal, die in der belagerten Stadt ausharrten.

Im Jahr 2015 filmte Mantas Kvedaravicius das Leben in Mariupol, der ukrainischen Hafenstadt, die während eines Waffenstillstands von prorussischen Soldaten mit Raketen angegriffen wurde. Im Jahr 2022, kurz nach dem Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die Ukraine, kehrt Mantas Kvedaravicius nach Mariupol zurück. Dort, im Zentrum des Krieges, wollte er bei den Menschen sein, die er 2015 getroffen und gefilmt hatte. Ende März wird er in Mariupol von russischen Streitkräften gefangengenommen und getötet. Das gedrehte Material kann gerettet werden, und Kvedaravicius’ Produzenten und Mitarbeiter haben ihre ganze Kraft darauf verwendet, seine Arbeit, seine Vision und seine Filme weiterzugeben.

Der promovierte litauische Anthropologe Mantas Kvedaravicius (1976-2022) wollte sich als Filmemacher so weit wie möglich von der Hetze der Medien und der Politiker distanzieren. Mit großer Kraft und Sensibilität schildert “Mariupolis 2” das Leben inmitten der Bombardierung und zeigt Bilder, die sowohl die Tragödie zeigen als auch Hoffnung vermitteln.

In einer Dreh-Notiz schreibt Mantas Kvedaravicius: „Wissen Sie, was das Außergewöhnlichste an Mariupol ist? Keiner der Einwohner fürchtete den Tod … Der Tod war schon da und niemand wollte umsonst sterben. Die Menschen unterstützten sich gegenseitig, auch wenn sie ihr Leben aufs Spiel setzten.“

Mantas Kvedaravicius (1976-2022) war ein in Litauen geborener Filmemacher mit einem Abschluss in Sozialanthropologie der Universität Cambridge.

Sein erster Dokumentarfilm “Barzakh” wurde auf zahlreichen Festivals gezeigt und gewann mehrere Preise, darunter den Amnesty International Prize und den Preis der Ökumenischen Jury auf der Berlinale 2011. Seine beiden folgenden Filme “Mariupolis” (2016) und “Parthenon” (2019) wurden für die Berlinale beziehungsweise die Internationale Kritikerwoche in Venedig ausgewählt.

Im März 2022 kehrte Mantas Kvedaravicius zurück in die Ukraine, nach Mariupol, um zu dokumentieren, wie die Menschen dort, im Zentrum des russischen Angriffskriegs, leben. Ende März 2022 wurde er in Mariupol von russischen Streitkräften gefangen genommen und getötet. Das gedrehte Material konnte gerettet werden.

The longest lasting of the false-flag operations conducted against Russia since the Special Military Operation started in February 2022 has been flying the flag of the United Nations (UN).

The chief flag-bearer has been the Secretary-General of the #UN, Antonio #Guterres, a Portuguese (lead image, left); he has manipulated, plotted, and lied his way through the Ukrainian hostage-taking at #Azovstal, during the Battle of #Mariupol; the Ukrainian attacks on the #Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant; and Ukrainian attempts to break the ports blockade with what the UN has been calling its “Black Sea #Grain Initiative”.

Reinforcing Guterres in these schemes of deceit have been his spokesman, American and Frenchman Stéphane Dujarric (Rothschild), Italian Rafael Grossi, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); and the negotiator of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, British lawyer Martin Griffiths (lead image, right) and https://twitter.com/. Griffiths came to his UN job from a Geneva organization funded by an anti-Russian of Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, the UK, Australia, Ireland, and Switzerland. It calls itself “The Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue”.

Guterres’s bluff was called a year ago, on April 26, at the long-table incident in Moscow when President Vladimir Putin told Guterres he was wrong on the facts, biased in his public statements, and acting in violation of his UN authority.

“You can call it whatever name you like and have whatever bias in favour of those who did it, “ Putin told Guterres after getting him to confirm that the earphone to his interpreter was working. “But this was really an anti-constitutional coup. Unfortunately, our colleagues in the West preferred to ignore all this. After we recognised the independence of these states [Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics], they asked us to render them military aid because they were subjected to military actions, an armed aggression. In accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter, Chapter VII, we were forced to do this by launching a special military operation…[About the Battle of Mariupol and the Azovstal hostages] Mr Secretary-General, you have been misled…The simplest thing for military personnel or members of the nationalist battalions is to release the civilians. It is a crime to keep civilians, if there are any there, as human shields.”

Putin did not shake hands to greet Guterres; he placed him further away than any head of state had ever been seated in conversation at the Kremlin before; Guterres squirmed. To CNN a day later in Kiev, Guterres lied about what had been said at the meeting. Later, when asked in New York to say what and when he knew of the foreign combatants at Azovstal, and the use of civilian hostage shields in the battle, Guterres refused to answer.
