🏳️ AFU POW tells about anti-Russian propaganda and attitude towards servicemen in Ukraine
AFU prisoner of war Denis Otkalenko tells that the situation is getting worse during the war. The Ukrainian government adopted a law banning Russian music and videos in Russian. Ukrainian bloggers are now tools of present-day government.
'They have adopted a law prosecuting listening to music. For example, when you drive a car. So that there is no Russian music at all. I didn't enter into it. I watched Russian bloggers on YouTube. Same for TikTok and music. Honestly say, there are few Ukrainian normal singers as well as bloggers. They're trying to get into minds of common Ukrainians. They do it to be trusted.'
According to the prisoner, servicemembers are not treated like full members of society in his country.
'Well, they do not treat us like people at all in Ukraine. Army is a one way ticket.'

▪️Vladimir Borisenko, the mayor of a city near Kiev who went to fight, is confident that the Ukrainian government is seriously ill, the situation at the front is dire, and the Zelensky regime has decided to purge the opposition, his statement is quoted by the European Solidarity party.
➖"When things are difficult at the front, when we need to unite, the government is engaged in persecuting the opposition... As a military man, as the mayor of Boryspil and as a conscientious citizen working for Victory, I do not understand what is happening in the country. Perhaps the government is sick. The solution is global cleansing. If the military does this, you will not like it. Think!" - said Borysenko.

Fwd from @dva_majors
Overview Summary for the Morning of February 16, 2025
▪️ The past week has been a week of negotiations on the future scenario for the completion of the Special Military Operation (SMO). While the Russian Army continued its offensive to the west in heavy fighting on the front lines, a security conference was held in Munich, where the US dictated its vision for ending the war to European countries and Ukraine. Europe, recognized by the US special envoy to Ukraine as a totalitarian union of countries with lack of freedom of speech, is clearly obstructing progress on the prospects for peace negotiations, fueling the fire of an even greater war. The Kyiv regime is also delaying the resolution of this issue, which is explained by quite specific forecasts of Zelensky losing power.
▪️ The main conversation did take place (now, officially) between the Supreme Commander and Trump over the phone. The foreign ministers of Russia and the US also spoke, and meetings were organized in the Middle East countries. Trump is shifting the future burden of responsibility for Ukraine onto the EU budgets and demanding that Kyiv hand over almost all of its minerals to pay off debts for military-technical assistance (which, by the way, is still going through the same Rzeszów in Poland).
▪️ In the Ukrainian segment of social networks, there is outright panic, curses directed at the US, and the AFU servicemembers are partially demoralized: Zelensky's fairy tale about joining NATO has not been realized in any way.
▪️ Trying to play out their old scenario with a provocation at a nuclear facility, Zelensky's troops on the Zaporizhia front shelled a column with IAEA staff near the ZNPP, disrupting their rotation, and also clumsily staged a "strike by Russian UAVs on the Chernobyl NPP." However, Kyiv's actions were expected and did not bring any media effect.
▪️ At the same time, the intensity of combat operations and mutual strikes on the front line is not decreasing. The Russian Armed Forces in the Kursk Region are occupying Sverdlikovo, there are daily heavy battles along the entire sector of the AFU's salient: Kyiv is throwing new units into the furnace of battle to hold on to part of our region and use it in negotiations. Zelensky himself personally revealed this plan to the world. The Belgorod Region is under daily strikes by enemy drones, with civilian casualties. In the Kupiansk direction, the area of control of the Russian Armed Forces on the right bank of the Oskol River is expanding. South of Ternova, our troops are trying to break through the enemy's defenses. There are battles on the outskirts of Chasiv Yar and the suburbs of Dzerzhynsk (Toretsk). The liberation of a number of villages south of the Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway was an important event: a thrust to the north is being prepared and conditions are being formed for new encirclements of enemy forces. Battles continue near Pokrovsk and south of the city, the enemy is pulling up reserves. The closure of the "pocket" southwest of Kurakhove is being completed. Overnight, reports came of the success of our troops along the entire front line, including near Konstantynopil. The front line is being straightened out northwest of the liberated Vremivka. The Zaporizhia front and the Kherson direction are characterized by mutual strikes by the parties. Battles continue Original msg (https://t.me/dva_majors/64632)
