- Ukrainian special services have nothing to do with sabotage on the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, — Reznikov.

"I suppose an official investigation will clear up all the details. This, of course, is a compliment to our special services, but this is not our doing", — stated (https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2023/mar/08/russia-ukraine-war-live-kremlin-calls-nord-stream-reports-a-distraction-eu-will-never- accept-russian-threats-says-von-der-leyen#top-of-blog) Minister of Defense.


- China analyzes the mistakes of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, — Reuters.

Journalists of the publication (https://www.reuters.com/world/studying-ukraine-war-chinas-military-minds-fret-over-us-missiles-starlink-2023-03-08/) studied about 100 articles in 20 Chinese specialized publications on military topics. Many Chinese articles focus on the mistakes of the occupiers, including outdated tactics and insufficient intervention in Ukraine's communications.

That is why Chinese researchers are concerned about the role of the Starlink satellite network. According to analysts, China wants to develop a similar network to destroy Starlink.


- Poland wants to return "unreasonably" social assistance paid to Ukrainian refugees for $500,000, — Rzeczpospolita.

"Since some refugees left Poland, they should not receive and use support from the country. ZUS will oblige the recipients to return everything within two years. We are talking about those Ukrainians who received benefits without being in Poland", — said (https://www.rp.pl/cudzoziemcy/art38084591-zus-wstrzymuje-nienalezne-wsparcie-dla-ukraincow-odzyskal-35-tys-z-2-mln-zl) ZUS spokesman.


- Zaluzhny did not fall into the trap of Russia in Bakhmut, — The Economist.

The new Russian offensive was partly intended to force Ukraine to use its reserves, which would make it much more difficult to counter-offensive. The publication writes (https://www.economist.com/europe/2023/03/06/ukraine-is-building-up-its-forces-for-an-offensive) that the battle for Bakhmut led to much greater losses among Russians.

"Instead of throwing significant reserves into Bakhmut to save the city, which has more symbolic than military significance, Zaluzny sent troops abroad to train on new equipment", — wrote edition.


- Western countries will be able to deprive China of vital technologies and imported goods in the event of a conflict over Taiwan, — D.W.

According to a study (https://www.dw.com/ru/iw-ekonomika-kitaa-silno-zavisit-ot-zapada-sankcii-dla-nee-opasny/a-64911200), over half of its imports are purchased by China in the West. However, China and the West are in deep mutual economic dependence, so sanctions against China can greatly harm the economy of the West. But the damage to China could be much more serious than hitherto thought.


- Trump said that he would allow the Russian Federation to seize part of Ukraine in order to avoid or stop the war, — Daily Beast.

According to (https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-edits-out-donald-trump-saying-he-mightve-let-russia-take-over-parts-of-ukraine?ref= scroll) Trump in an interview with Fox News, he has the "magic words" to stop the fighting immediately. He also stated that if he were president, then Russia could seize some territories that, in his opinion, are Russian-speaking.


- Putin is ready to wage war against Ukraine for years, — US intelligence.

"The war in Ukraine has become a brutal war of attrition in which neither side has ultimate superiority, but Putin will continue. Perhaps for years", — said (https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-03-08-23/h_65aa36854ec6e6d236cdb70ae91d8597) US Director of National Intelligence Haynes.

Hopefully died.


- The Pentagon is blocking the transfer of evidence of war crimes of the Russian Federation to the Hague court, — NYT.

American military leaders oppose (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/us/politics/pentagon-war-crimes-hague.html) helping the court investigate the Russians because they fear that Americans may also be held accountable.

According to officials, the rest of the administration, including intelligence agencies, the State Department and the Department of Justice, favors the transfer of evidence to the court.


- Zaluzhny expects to create three corps of 60,000 fighters for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, — The Economist.

Western officials disagree on whether Is this number of troops enough to drive the Russians out of the occupied territories? Ammunition and the shortage of aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also remain a serious problem.


- Large traffic jams at the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint from Georgia to Russia, eyewitnesses report.

Russians run away en masse.


- Class


- Here's more about disinformation: many began to spread the narrative of Russian propaganda: "good Russians" are fleeing Georgia, frightened by protests against the adoption of the law on foreign agents. This is not true: the traffic jam at the checkpoint was formed due to the danger of an avalanche: Upper Lars was closed for 4 days.

- By the way, about Mariupol. This is what the new panel barracks look like, built in a couple of months (too quickly) by the occupiers. It's a completely uninhabitable urban environment. And the city as such no longer exists. After the war, Ukraine will have to demolish everything and build the city anew. I am sure that the quality of these barracks will raise many questions.


- The girl who drew a picture against the war was isolated from the world in an orphanage

Is it true? How about in Belarus?


- An approximate headline in the Russian media: "Putin gave foreign medicines an ultimatum: either they will return to Russia in two months, or he will throw a pen on the table!"
