Bakhmut 2/12/23 "Right now, the defenders of eastern Ukraine are doing an incredible thing --

--they are exhausting the enemy and causing the enemy losses in manpower and equipment, which is definitely reflected both in the quality of the enemy's conduct of hostilities and in his moral and psychological state," Cherevatyi said.

"For many days in a row, the enemy sets records hitting Ukraine with artillery fire in the Lyman direction and in the Luhansk region," said Serhii Cherevatyi with the Eastern Grouping of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "In the past 24 hours there were 424 shellings by different types of artillery and 23 combats," he added.

"There, the enemy struck 167 times along the entire section of the front with various types of rocket-propelled artillery, and 41 clashes between forces took place. The enemy lost 212 servicemen and 315 servicemen were wounded as a result," he continued.

“In the area of ​​Bakhmut itself, there were 48 attacks and 19 clashes between forces,” he said. He added “battles were also fought in the area of ​​Torske, Fedorivka, Ivanivske and Chasiv Yar."

He also reported that currently, "army reserves are being prepared to carry out a decisive blow to the enemy and push it away from Ukraine's territory under the supervision of Ukraine's commander-in-chief and the chief of the general staff."

Up in Michigan for a funeral and staying @ a nice motel and in channel surfing for a matter of seconds I heard
that:

* President Biden is letting drugs being made in China that are being shipped to Mexico after which they are sent to America via Biden's open borders.

* Even worse was Laura ?? telling the world highly classified information that US military intelligence is helping Ukrainian forces in targeting Russian assets.
