Thorkill linked Donald Trump's story about a Russian general who exited the highway and got stuck in the mud to the march of the 1st Armored Army towards Pryluky in February 2022. He wrote that Trump first told this story in June 2022 and repeated it the day before the publication of the post, adding details that allowed the author to pinpoint a specific operation. According to Thorkill, on February 25, General Sergey Kisiel ordered the vanguard group of the 1st Motorized Rifle Regiment to leave road number 7 Sumy–Kyiv and bypass Pryluky from the north using local routes. The author stated that the troops reached Kołesznyki, covering approximately 70 km that day, and on February 26, they traveled about 30 km and reached Halych. He blamed the delay on the poor condition of the roads, which were damaged by heavy vehicles. Thorkill assessed that the Russian attack on Pryluky could have succeeded because the Ukrainian defense of the city was still being organized and had little anti-tank weapons and mines, and also lacked artillery or engineers capable of blowing up the bridge on the Uday River. According to the author, Kisiel ordered the attack on the city along road number 7 only on February 27. The Ukrainian positions along the Uday then halted the Russian advance, and the column to the north of Sribne was bombed by Ukrainian Su-24s. The author noted that the potential capture of Pryluky could have facilitated actions for the Russian forces, but would not have directly led to the fall of Kyiv. He wrote that the "Center" Group of Forces was to block the city from the east, while the main strike was led by the "East" Group of Forces from the west. Thorkill stated that the failure of the latter determined the defeat of the Russian operation in Kyiv. He also announced the upcoming publication of a book in English about the battle for Kyiv. #Ukraina #wojna #Kijów (translated)

Sebastian Lach wrote that Lithuania claimed that a Ukrainian drone FP-1 with a payload entered its airspace from the direction of Poland. According to his post, Lithuanian radars detected the object while it was still over Poland, and Prime Minister Sinkevičius had no doubts about its origin. The Polish Ministry of National Defense was said to have responded that its systems did not confirm this, while Ukraine apologized and pointed to Russian signal jamming during the attack in the Petersburg area. Lach reported that the drone crashed in northern Lithuania, damaged a car, but did not injure anyone, and NATO scrambled fighter jets. The author compared the reaction to the incident with a hypothetical situation in which the drone would have fallen in Poland. He wrote that then maps and accusations of a Russian provocation would have emerged, while in this case, he described the reaction as silence and a reference to the lack of confirmation and Ukraine's apologies. Lach assessed that some people want an end to the war, while others may prefer its prolongation to play on fear and avoid accountability before 2027. He added that reports about the incident reinforced his conspiracy theory that Russia was not behind the events of April 10, 2010. #Polska #wojna #bezpieczeństwo (translated)
