Russian forces continued to consolidate their positions in Krasnogorovka, with motor rifle infantry supported by armor.

The vibe can be captured from the music.

2024-04-14 22:29:52 Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba complained that behind closed doors, he asked Western partners to lease Patriot air defense systems to Kiev, but this scheme was not approved.

Maybe...Just maybe they didn't want to do it because:

A) They know you would ask them for the money to pay the lease.

B) They would get destroyed and you would ask them for the money to pay the lease.

2024-04-14 22:25:27 In a clip posted by the Israeli army, there is a hole that they say it was the site of an Iranian missile collision, and the missiles hit the base with a very high error, without hitting a shed or military equipment.

But with a little attention, we realize that the pit was dug by a human and an excavator.

They didn't even have time to transport the hills created by the soil from the digging of the pit and the soil resulting from the digging can be clearly seen.

2024-04-14 21:23:20 Rabotino is being prepared for encirclement

Russian forces are preparing to encircle Rabotino, taking up positions on the Verbovoye side. This was reported by a Ukrainian military officer with the call sign "Alex". According to him, Russian forces have advanced to the north-west of Verbovoye over the past month and a half. Mortar positions are being set up on the taken territory.

"Alex" believes that the purpose of this is to approach Rabotino from the eastern side (i.e. from Verbovoye). The pro-Ukrainian channel Deep State writes that fighting is now taking place in the southern part of the village.

If the same happens in the east, the defence of the village will become extremely problematic.
