“The situation is complex, that is, the enemy is advancing virtually along the entire front line, and we have moved from offensive actions to defensive operations. The goal of our defensive operation is to deplete the enemy’s forces, inflict maximum losses on him, using our fortifications, our advantages in technical terms , in terms of the use of unmanned aircraft…” said Syrsky.
He noted that “such a war has not happened since World War II and with such a duration,” because “all the operations carried out lasted several months.”

A representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Andrei Yusov, commented on the fire that broke out on the territory of the MiG plant in Moscow.
“The plant and these premises are clearly involved and are directly related to the supply of military-space components forces of the aggressor country. As for the consequences, as well as the continuation of these incidents, information is being collected and clarified,” Yusov said.
He noted that the main reason for the incident was Russian aggression against Ukraine.

According to him, the searches were carried out by the national police, everything happened within the framework of the current legislation. Some documents and equipment were confiscated from the company.

The Minister of Agriculture of Poland called it an “act of despair” that Polish farmers protesters spilled Ukrainian grain from trucks onto the road during a border blockade. Czeslaw Sekierski made this comment on February 12, a day after protesters did so.
Sekersky said that “in his opinion, this is the wrong form of protest,” but said that “farmers from different countries often use it.” He justified the actions of his fellow citizens with a “very difficult economic situation.”
Sekierski believes that Polish farmers need to be “treated with understanding.”
“On behalf of Polish farmers, I apologize for such an act of despair and ask for understanding for their extremely difficult situation. We are conducting technical negotiations with the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine, during which we want to determine the terms of trade that limit the flow of goods that disrupt the stability of agri-food markets.” , he said.
Sekersky also did not like the statements of Ukrainian officials regarding the incident.
