    The battle for Bakhmut has now lasted longer than the Battle for Stalingrad in WW2, which was a major city, Bakhmut is just a small town. Absolutely laughable that the so-called second most powerful army in the world has been unable to even enter the city proper in months.

    Berlin rally against arming Ukraine draws tens of thousands

    An estimated 13,000 to 50,000 people attended the event calling for peace talks

    "Tens of thousands of Germans braved the elements to attend the Uprising for Peace, a massive rally organized by Die Linke (Left Party) politician Sahra Wagenknecht and author Alice Schwarzer on Saturday.

    The demonstrators massed at the Brandenburg Gate, calling for peace talks to end the conflict in Ukraine and demanding Berlin cease supplying Kiev with weapons.

    Wagenknecht slammed the German government for trying to "ruin Russia," urging leaders to make Moscow an "offer" so that peace talks could begin. The rally, she said, represented the "start of a citizens’ initiative" and the launch of a "new, strong peace movement in Germany."

    The rally welcomed protesters from across the political spectrum, declaring anyone who wanted peace "with an honest heart" was welcome, though neo-Nazi provocateurs jostling for media attention were not.

    The organizers counted some 50,000 participants, while the police gave a lowball figure of 13,000.

    Wagenknecht and Schwarzer earlier this month published a Manifest for Peace urging Chancellor Olaf Scholz to "stop the escalation in weapons deliveries." It has since been signed by over half a million people, including well-known public intellectuals and political figures.

    Scholz has repeatedly declared peace talks to be outside the realm of possibility, insisting that it is Russia that is unwilling to come to the table, despite Moscow’s many attempts since the start of the conflict to resolve things peacefully."

    A rally of the extreme left and right. Even the majority of the communist party rejects participation.

    Like during the cold war. Back then participants were transported in from all over Germany. Tickets paid by Soviet Union.

    Big move by the Ukrainians.

    BAKHMUT /FLASH TRAFFIC/ On 26 FEB, UKR forces launched a combined arms counter-attack SE along the M-03 HWY axis. Timely reporting by Jarosław Wolski @wolski_jaros
    indicates that RU forces have been flanked and driven SE down the M-03 HWY toward Berkhivka.

    The extreme right and left fringe people from all over Germany. Not even supported by PDS the successor of the DDR SED party. Probably transport paid for by Russia. Same as the cold war "peace movement was financed by Soviet Union.

    I think you will find that he is referring to the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by countries accommodating Ukrainian refugees from the war - Biden and his administration are quite aware of the contributions of European countries in this area which is one reason why the US is quite prepared to provide the military assistance they are - not withstanding a lot of the dollar values trumpeted by the press are existing weapon systems that are frankly outdated reserve equipment that has been purchased in the past

    Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has threatened to send Russian occupation troops back to German territory because of the West’s tank shipments to Ukraine. Referring to the Soviet occupation, Kadyrov said in an interview with Russian state television:



    WE HAVE TO GO BACK, THIS IS OUR TERRITORY.

    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, February 28, 2023
    Feb 28, 2023 - Press ISW


    Russian authorities appear to be escalating their promotion of false flag information operations to distract from their lack of tangible battlefield gains and slow down the provision of Western tanks and other aid in advance of expected Ukrainian counter-offensives. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) accused the “US and its accomplices” on February 28 of planning to carry out a provocation in Ukraine using toxic chemicals. The Russian MoD relatedly claimed on February 19 that Ukrainian officials are planning false-flag attacks at hazardous radiation facilities in Ukraine to accuse Russian forces of indiscriminately striking such sites. The apparent uptick in fallacious biochemical and nuclear false flag warnings accompanies a concerted Russian false flag information operation accusing Ukraine of preparing for an invasion of Russian-occupied Transnistria, Moldova. Russian President Vladimir Putin also notably re-introduced nuclear rhetoric into the Russian information space during his address to the Russian Federal Assembly on February 21 when he announced Russia’s intent to suspend participation in START. The recent resurgence of several standard Russian information operations in the form of false flag warnings and tired nuclear threats suggests that Russian officials are increasingly trying to mitigate the informational impacts of a continued lack of Russian battlefield successes as well as to slow down the provision of Western tanks and other equipment in advance of expected Ukrainian counter-offensives. ISW has previously reported on the correlation between Russian information operations and battlefield realities, particularly when Russian forces are failing to take significant ground in offensive operations in Ukraine. The Russian MoD and top Russian officials will likely escalate their engagement with such information operations as the ongoing Russian offensive in Luhansk Oblast nears culmination and the opportunities for Ukrainian counter-offensives grow.
