The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy has been dismissed, - Belarusian media, 10 March 2024.
Sources of the Russian publications Izvestia and Fontanka reported the resignation of Mykola Yumenov from the post of C-in-C of the Russian Navy.
Yumenov has been in charge of the Russian fleet since May 2019. According to the publication, he will be replaced by Admiral Alexander Moiseev, who commanded the Northern Fleet.
The personnel decision has already been reported to the staff. However Yumenov is still listed as C-in-C on the website of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.
Yuvmenov's resignation took place against the backdrop of Ukraine's interception of the initiative in the Black Sea - on the night of 5
March, the GUR attacked the patrol ship "Sergei Kotov".
Now the number of Russian ships in the ports of the annexed Crimea has been reduced to a minimum - only those that have not found a place in the Novorossiysk, Sochi and Tuapse bases remain, but they do not go to sea.

☢️ At the end of 2022, the Biden administration was "thoroughly preparing" for a possible nuclear strike by russian forces on Ukraine. This was no ordinary concern—the apprehensions were based on intelligence information.
Citing sources, CNN writes that the US wanted to prepare and do everything possible to prevent Russia from taking this step. Against the background of the then military defeats (the loss of Kherson and the lands of the Kharkiv region), Russian officers and officials discussed a nuclear strike.
The US discussed deterrence plans with its allies, as well as with India and China. The leaders of the last states helped prevent a nuclear crisis. The threat has decreased somewhat, but no one rules out further tensions.

10 March is the Day of the National Anthem of Ukraine.
Nowadays, the anthem of Ukraine is sung from the bottom of the heart, both in bomb shelters and on the front line. Because they know:
Our enemies will perish like dew in the sun.
But they will not perish on their own, but thanks to our struggle.
The first public performance of the song "Ukraine's Glory and Freedom Have Not Yet Died" took place on 10 March 1865 in Przemysl as the final number of a concert dedicated to Taras Shevchenko. However, 10 March was designated as the Day of the National Anthem of Ukraine by the Cabinet of Ministers only recently, in 2021.
The national anthem is one of the main state symbols of Ukraine, along with the flag and coat of arms. Its official musical version was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada on 15 January 1992, and the text was approved by the Law of Ukraine "On the National Anthem of Ukraine" of 6 March 2003.
Respect for Ukraine's national symbols is enshrined in the Constitution in the same sentence as the duty of citizens to defend the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

🚀 This is how quickly the Archer deploys, shoots at the invaders and folds.
Archer self-propelled artillery systems were handed over to Ukraine by Sweden. 🇺🇦🤝🇸🇪
⏺ The Archer self-propelled gun allows you to fire six shots in half a minute along different trajectories and is equipped, in particular, with Excalibur guided projectiles — hitting the occupiers with an accuracy of 4 meters at a distance of tens of kilometers.
⏺ Archer, mounted on the chassis of a Volvo truck, is able to deploy, fire and change position even before the first round hits the target.

🇵🇱 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski believes that the discussion about Western troops in Ukraine, initiated by Macron, is useful for influencing Russia
He recalled that a similar precedent had already existed in history, namely during the Korean War of 1950-1953, when a coalition of states went to help the country under a decision of the UN Security Council.
With this in mind, the Polish minister added, "A coalition of UN member states here to stop aggression is not unthinkable."
"That is why I appreciate the French initiative of the last few days. Because, in my opinion, it has good intentions, that it is the Russian president who should ask himself what our next step will be, and not that he should be sure that we will not do anything creative, and therefore he could plan his scenarios," Sikorski emphasized.
"Mala" is a border guard. She is a combat medic and a shooter of a mobile fire team that hunts "Shakheds".
Today there are tens of thousands of people like her. Some have been in the army since 2014, some joined after February 24, 2022, and some are just starting their military career.
Doctors, shooters, cooks, instructors— women side by side with men stand in defense of Ukraine. After all, our strength is in unity and equality 💪
The life of four-month-old Tymofiy Haydarzhy was taken by the Russian shelling of Odessa on March 2, 2024. He and his mother , Anna, ended up under the rubble of the house.
Timofia's older sister, Liza, as well as their father Serhiy, were in another room during the attack, and they managed to survive. In total, that enemy strike took the lives of twelve people, five of whom were children.
Timofey was born on October 20, 2023 in a family of evangelical Christians: photographer Serhiy and florist Anna. The boy's grandfather is Mykola Sidak, pastor of the Odesa Peresypsk Church.
Relatives adored the baby, gently called him Timosh.
"In 2023, we had a beautiful son, Timofey - such a bright boy, a ray of sunshine for all of us," Serhii Haydarzhi said about his son during the evening in memory of Anna and Timofey.
Timofey is survived by his father, sister, grandmother, grandfather, aunts, uncle and other relatives.

This cat was totally feral 4 years ago. Used to sneak in at night to eat from the cat dish. She used to sleep on one corner at the foot of the bed. This month she is about chest level.
