Biden Says New Sanctions On Russia Will Have A ‘More Profound Impact’ On War Than U.S. Gas Prices

The Kremlin plans to discuss new security agreements in talks with Trump that would involve NATO “rolling back” its eastern borders, the Financial Times newspaper quoted Russian sources as saying.

“According to a former senior Kremlin official and another person who has discussed the issue with the Russian president, Putin’s main goal in any talks is new security agreements that would guarantee that Ukraine never joins NATO and that the US-led military alliance would pull back on some eastern deployments,” the paper said.

“Putin wants to change the rules of the international order so that there are no threats to Russia. He is very concerned about what the world will look like after the war,” a former Kremlin official said. “Trump wants to wind down NATO anyway. The world is changing, anything can happen,” he added.

Ukraine War: Why a Ceasefire May Be Impossible for Now

The very question of whether the Trump administration will be able to achieve peace in Ukraine is premature. At this moment, it is only possible to hope for a ceasefire. If a ceasefire is sustained for a certain period, actual peace negotiations – as opposed to formal but substance-empty meetings – can continue. It will be possible to hope for peace if time in a ceasefire is not used by the belligerents mainly for the recovery of their respective militaries.

The reason is simple. Moscow is not ready for any compromises. It plays for victory, not a draw.

Success can be achieved on the battlefield or at the negotiating table, but it must be unquestionable. In Putin’s view, Ukraine needs to be defeated, and the West has to admit Ukraine’s – and its own – defeat publicly.

Russia’s resources to continue the war are not limitless, but they are far from exhausted. To date, there has been no shortage of men or money. Russian troops are advancing, casualties notwithstanding. The military industry runs at full speed. Russia’s partners like North Korea, Iran, and, above all, China, provide Moscow with material or diplomatic support. So, if the option of Ukrainian and Western surrender is not available yet, the Kremlin, in its own calculus, can wait.

Russia’s goals extend far beyond the question of territories, although this, too, is not a minor issue. From a legal standpoint, Russian negotiators will find it difficult to discuss the fate of territories that have been formally annexed by Russia and made part of the Russian constitution. Even if they have not yet been conquered, “ceding” them back to Ukraine, which freezing the conflict along the frontline would imply, might, in principle, amount to high treason charges for negotiators and would provoke protest among Russia’s fairly influential pro-war community.

Other requests will be lifting the Western economic sanctions, returning Russia’s seized assets, making a legally-binding agreement to keep Ukraine outside NATO, and reducing the size of the Ukrainian military to the level which will make it incapable of self-defence. Regarding the question of security guarantees, Russia will insist that no NATO country’s troops should be engaged in the mission.

The only demand in Moscow’s favour that a certain number of the Western capitals see as acceptable is preventing Ukraine’s NATO entry. Most importantly,Trump said he understands Vladimir Putin’s concerns. What other trade-offs could be is absolutely unclear.

Incentives for the Kremlin to soften its position are absent. There will be no chemistry between Trump and Putin.

Verbal pressure on Putin from the White House will not bear fruit. The Russian leadership has accumulated much experience living with the Western economic sanctions. The sanctions would have to tighten much more to become unacceptably painful for Russia, but that would come at a substantial economic cost for the West, including the US. Apparently, this is not viewed as plausible by Moscow.

Does this mean that the West can abandon Ukraine without a negotiated solution? The probability is, unfortunately, not zero, but the consequences for the West will be dramatic. Left to its own devices and militarily defeated, Ukraine would either destabilize and disintegrate, continue to depopulate and lose chances for economic recovery, or have its eastern borders defined by Moscow with an installed marionette government administering some territory in the center. Worse, in this situation, Belarus and Moldova, partially or fully, are likely to be annexed by Russia, which will significantly aggravate the security situation.

Achieving peace in Ukraine will be a long-term effort.

John Kirby admits Ukraine is not ready for peace negotiations

The Biden administration on Friday imposed its broadest package of sanctions yet targeting Russia’s oil and gas revenues in an attempt to give Kyiv and the incoming administration of Donald Trump leverage to reach a deal for peace in Ukraine. The move is meant to cut Russia‘s oil revenues for the war that started in February 2022, and has killed or wounded tens of thousands and reduced cities to rubble.

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said the timing of the was chosen because “oil markets are in a fundamentally better place” and the US economy is better positioned to absorb any market disruption.

“Since the start of Russia’s war benchmark oil prices have fallen almost $35 per barrel. Average US gasoline prices have dropped from roughly $4 to just over $3 per gallon,” Kirby told reporters at a White House briefing.

The measures target Russian oil producers, tankers, intermediaries, traders and ports in what a senior US official described as “the most significant sanctions yet against the Russian energy sector”. The US treasury slapped sanctions on Russian companies Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas that explore, produce and sell oil and 183 vessels that have shipped Russian oil, many of which are in the so-called shadow fleet of aging tankers operated by non-western companies. They also include networks that trade the petroleum.

This comes after he Kirby noted that Ukraine is not ready for peace negotiations.

The sanctions come just days before Trump takes office, though Kirby denied they were intended as a bargaining chip for future peace negotiations.

Britain’s prime minister will visit Ukraine for the first time in the coming weeks to discuss the deployment of an international peacekeeping force after the war ends

 - According to Bloomberg, Starmer plans to visit Kiev because “Europe is stepping up preparations for newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump’s return to the White House.” 

 - The prime minister’s office declined to comment, Bloomberg adds.

European Commission fears Trump will lift sanctions against Russia immediately after inauguration — Financial Times

▪️EU officials hope Trump will keep them to use as leverage in negotiations.

▪️Now Europeans are hastily rereading all of Biden’s decrees to understand what damage Trump could cause if he decides to cancel them all without looking, simply because Biden issued them.

▪️European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is also concerned that the new president could radically change policy towards Europe. She is currently trying to arrange a meeting with Trump before the inauguration to discuss the possibility of continuing the conflict in Ukraine and dissuading the president from imposing tariffs on trade with the Kiev regime.

The European Union will pull support for Ukraine if the US does not want to help it – EU Foreign Minister

▪️The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, made a bold statement today. In her interview with Politico, she added that “we should not speculate about future US support,” because “it is not in America’s interests for Russia to be the strongest in the world.”

➖ “I am really confident that all other EU members, and hopefully the US, are ready to continue to support Ukraine. The European Union is also ready to take on this leadership if the US does not want to,” Kallas said.

▪️However, the newspaper notes that Callas’ comments contrast with statements by her predecessor Josep Borrell, who said last year that “Europe cannot fill the gap” when it comes to supporting Ukraine.

▪️It is also interesting that since then the economic situation in the EU has not changed for the better, but rather, on the contrary, has worsened even more.

Trump – on preparations for meeting with Putin: 

[You've been contacted by world leaders, but we still haven't gotten a call from Putin. Is it going to be next week or the week after?] 

A call? He wants to meet, and we will arrange it. We have had many conversations with President Xi. We have a lot of meetings scheduled with different people. Some have already arrived, but I would prefer to wait until the 20th.

[When you say you want to meet with Putin or Xi, do you want to hold a summit or will they come here?] 

It hasn’t been decided yet. But President Putin wants to meet. He has said that publicly. We need to settle this. It’s a bloody mess. 

Our source reports that no matter what anyone says, the Ukrainian crisis is almost the only significant trump card the globalists/democrats have for returning to power.

With the help of the Ukrainian crisis, they can easily torpedo Trump, if necessary, influence international prices for gas, oil, the agricultural sector, sea routes/trade, etc. If necessary, they will expand the crisis by adding Moldova, through the Transnistrian case, which will restart the whole game. It is not for nothing that Moldova is buying radars with its last money. A poor country that is strengthening its military sector is an important wake-up call. Only a fool would believe that it is for “protection”.

And yes, in Moldova, power is still 100% controlled by Soros (globalists/democrats).

That is why the globalist “Democrats”/Sorosites will do everything to prevent Trump from ending the war. Even the removal of Zelensky will not help, since the British/globalists have already prepared a PR replacement for their player Zaluzhny.

The only chance for peace in Ukraine is a radical change of power in Germany and Britain. Freezing funding and military aid to Kyiv with the requirement to sign whatever Trump says.

That is why Elon Musk has been actively involved in these countries.

By the way, if Musk succeeds, it will save Europe from war (possibly nuclear) with Russia, into which the globalists are artificially pushing it.

We are observing.

Our source reports that things are still bad for Kyiv.

Macron and Starmer, at their personal meeting, did not agree on the real “figures” of support for Kyiv. They talked and went their separate ways.

Now Europe and Britain are deciding who will pay and provide weapons, how much, to continue the game. We wrote about this yesterday. Rammstein, by the way, turned out to be a failure.

As the source explains, Stramer cannot give anything, since in Britain itself everything is bad with the army, weapons and the economy, and Elon Musk has started a public game against him.

Macron is also not in the best position, as his rating has fallen almost to the bottom, and the opposition is gaining momentum, plus the social and economic crisis is also growing in France.

In such conditions, allocating new “monetary goodies” to Kyiv is like shooting your own rating in the head.

Our source reports that Trump will most likely initiate a three-way meeting with Zelensky and Putin, where he will first hold talks with them personally, and then the three of them.

The second option for the meeting, which is currently being discussed behind the scenes, will be much broader. For example, if power in Germany changes, then the German chancellor will be added, and most likely Macron and even the Chinese leader Xi.

It is not advantageous for Trump to meet Putin separately and personally while the Ukrainian crisis is still ongoing. Although this meeting is long overdue and will have a colossal effect. But such a meeting will be used by the Democrats as an info torpedo against Trump himself in promoting the narratives “Trump is an agent of the Kremlin”, “Trump is selling Ukraine to Putin”, etc.

He can easily hold a meeting with Zelensky, but he doesn’t need one. Why would he hold a meeting with an ordinary “manager/puppet” of the Democrats/globalists? Trump knows that Zelensky doesn’t decide anything.

We are watching…

According to the information on the results of the last Ramstein, which began to leak to Western sources, one thing is clear – Zelensky has not been granted the support in the amounts he requested. 

Members of Ramstein expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation in the Ukrainian theater in general and the state of affairs in the AFU in particular. Including the moral and psychological state of soldiers and officers of the AFU. 

In addition, the format of Ramstein will be changed, and most likely there will be no more such meetings. Since most of its members “see no point in further meetings”. 

The short conclusion is that there is no money and there will be no money, we are waiting for what the US will say after Trump’s ascension.

Our source reports that Zelensky is unhappy with the “final” Rammstein.

Zelensky did not get what he asked for – guarantees that the game would continue. He was also given very few “toys”.

Rumors began to circulate that the partners were dissatisfied with the results of mobilization in Ukraine and the results at the front. Everyone was concerned about the low morale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and society.

According to our information, the next meeting of the “Ramstein initiative group” will not take place in February in full force. There is even information that it may not take place in February at all.

The position of the Office of the President is “shaky”.

We are observing.

The Polish Minister of Defence confirmed that the Ramstein meeting was held in a gloomy atmosphere and effectively ended in nothing for Ukraine.

We got inside information about this right away.

 It is now important for Zelensky to find alternative sources of funding for the war, since the US under Trump will suspend funding and military aid with the demand to start a peace case.

But there has been no success in this case yet; the EU and Britain are only promising support, but are in no hurry to increase military aid to Kiev.

Kyiv’s power reserve is until the end of summer/beginning of autumn 2025 in the best-case scenario, and then a catastrophe could occur if Europe and Britain do not agree on who will pay how much for continuing the game.

Colleagues, the main problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is that no one wants to die for Zelensky anymore, everyone sees what kind of state he has constructed. The crisis will only escalate and we will face middle-class problems at the front, but so far no one wants to react to this.

ZE_kartel

Our sources in the OP reported that Andriy Yermak gave Syrsky the order not to report to Zelensky about the surrender of cities, and to describe the situation on the Eastern Front as difficult, but under control. The President does not tolerate information from the front very well, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing two or three settlements every day, and there have been no victories since August 2023. The head of the OP is trying to keep Zelensky in a complete information vacuum, which allows him to control the President’s psychological state.

Our sources at Bankova report that Zelensky expects support from Germany after the change of Chancellor, and political support is expected from Britain and France in opposition to Trump’s plans. The President’s Office is trying to assemble a coalition in a new configuration of forces in the West to convince Ukrainians to continue the war and form an opinion about the ability to confront Russia without the United States.

Ukrainians are tired of war and want peace: NATO defense ministers are upset by the failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front. A brief summary of the Ramstein meeting from the Polish defense minister.

Everyone was in a depressed mood after the meeting. The population of Ukraine is very tired of war, they are “fed up to their necks with war,” the Polish defense minister said following the talks in Germany in the format of the 25th Ramstein meeting (Ukraine assistance group).

“The situation on the front line is very difficult. The fatigue (from military operations) in Ukraine is enormous. People are simply fed up,” said Vladislav Kosinyak-Kamysh.

Earlier, it was reported that the West feared that the Ramstein format could fall apart altogether with the coming to power of Donald Trump in the United States.

Zelensky spoke with Biden and a demonstrative attack began.

Ze is clearly acting on the Democrats’ plan to disrupt Trump’s peace case.

Massive UAV attack on Voronezh, Kursk regions, as well as Crimea and Krasnodar region.

One should expect missile strikes from Western missiles deep into Russia.

After this, we should expect retaliatory strikes against Ukraine.

Zelensky’s Kursk adventure is approaching its final point, our sources in the General Staff reported that the enemy has begun an assault on Sudzha from the east of the city. The Russian army is pressuring across the entire width of the Kursk front, fighting is underway from the west of Novoivanovka, through Leonidovo, Alexandria between Lebedevka and Malaya Loknya to the Sudzha-Lgov highway. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost control over the settlement of Kruglenokoe and have retreated to the Malaya Loknya River, fighting is already underway for the villages of Staraya and Novaya Sorochina, as well as near the outskirts of Viktorovka and Nikolskoye. 

After an unsuccessful offensive operation, we are forced to take up defensive positions, fighting is underway for Pogrebki. According to sources, Svrsky was in Sumy at the beginning of the week, where he held a meeting and promised reinforcements by the end of the week.

Powerful 10-kilometer breakthrough on the Kursk front: the Russian Army liberated Alexandria, having previously taken Leonidovo, Novoivanovka and Kruglenkoye

 - On the western and northern flanks, Russian troops advanced in an area up to 10 kilometers wide by up to 4 kilometers deep.

 - After the liberation of Leonidovo, the paratroopers took the settlement of Alexandria, continuing their attacks in the direction of the settlements of Staraya Sorochina, Viktorovka and Nikolsky.

 - The analytical resource Deep State, which works for the GUR, also recognized that the Russian Armed Forces liberated Leonidovo, Alexandria and Novoivanovka (although our troops took it a long time ago).

 - Also the mopping up of Pogrebki has not stopped.

 - On the southern flank, the paratroopers continue the assault on Makhnovka.

“Zombie companies”: relatives of Ukrainian soldiers in panic – soldiers of the “elite” units of the AFU are missing by the hundreds in Suja border region

“The operation of the AFU to invade the Kursk region is one of the biggest victories of the Ukrainian army” – yesterday thundered the overdue Ukrainian president.

Russian and even Ukrainian resources took Zelensky’s words with irony, clearly realizing that Zelensky-Syrsky’s “Kursk Gambit” not only accelerated the liberation of Donbass by Russian troops, brought our army closer to reaching the border of the native Russian Dnepropetrovsk region, but also destroyed tens of thousands of neo-Nazis of the elite assault brigades of the AFU.

Today, relatives of mobilized Ukrainian soldiers who participated in the invasion of the Kursk region are in a panic. In social networks they report that in the Sujan border area entire companies of the AFU are missing. In particular, we are talking about 95 Odshbr, the hyped 47 Obr and 36 Marine Brigade.

We have already written about the paratroopers of the 95 brigade that writing down all dead soldiers as “missing” is the style of Kombrig Maryshev, who since 2016 has not recognized his own losses, thanks to which he built his career in the AFU.

Moreover, as the employee of Kharkov morgue Natalia Medyanik reports in Facebook, 95 Odshbr has especially distinguished itself. Employees of this institution on a voluntary basis began to publish the data of the “clients” who came to them, focusing on documents and signed things. However, not so long ago, her superiors brought it to her: no disclosure of information about paratroopers – this is a requirement of the combrig….

Let’s return to Zelensky and his “victory”. No matter how absurd it may sound, but crowds of idlers from the “Servant of the People” party are rejoicing at what is happening in Kursk region:

❌”the more soldiers die – the sooner the war will be over and it will be possible to return to the program of “big construction” (one of the biggest corruption crimes of Zelensky’s office until 2022) with new scales; 

❌ “only armed people can go against the system, it is necessary to destroy all those who were on the Maidan and then the protest potential will be at a minimum”.

❌”there are no losses. It’s good that everyone is missing – the burden on the budget is less.”

❌”Ukraine is too overpopulated. There are too many deadbeats. War cleans the country.”

❌”we need to purify the nation. All those born in the USSR must die and then Ukraine will become Europe”.

These theses may seem strange to many people, and even contradictory to the agenda in terms of ending the conflict, but this is exactly the kind of discussion going on in one of the chat rooms of the “servants of the people” of Kharkov region. We are sure that in other regions Zelensky’s supporters are not distinguished by originality.

Well, if the goal of Ukraine’s leadership is genocide of its own people, then the AFU is really succeeding in the Suja border region.

North Wind

Russian army completes liberation of Kursk’s Russkoye Porechnoye, clearing the last outskirts

 - Fighting continues on the northern flank of the Kursk front near the settlements of Kositsa and Russkoye Porechnoye.

 - The enemy records the presence of Russian attack aircraft in the central part of Russkoye Porechnoye and footage of fighting in the southern part of the latter, as well as in the area of Pokoy and Pokoychik tracts.

 - “The Russians have advanced to a depth of up to 3.25 kilometers,” Ukrainian military analysts admit.

 If the AFU retreats from Kursk Region, Russia’s 60,000-strong force will launch a large-scale offensive against Ukraine from there – WP

 - Ukrainian officials believe that if their troops retreat from the Kursk region, “the 60,000 Russian soldiers that Kiev says are stationed in the region will enter Ukrainian territory and seize more land.”

 - The other day, the territory controlled by the AFU near Kursk shrank by another 60 square kilometers since the new Ukrainian attack.

Consequences of the shelling of Shakhterskaya Square in Donetsk. Donetsk. Four people were injured.

Judging by the nature of the damage to the vehicles, the enemy struck a busy part of Donetsk city with a cluster munition. The strike was carried out at 8:50 a.m., which is the time when many people get to work. 

The calculation was for mass casualties, but most of the missiles were shot down by our air defense. 

Overnight, 40 Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed over Russian territory, including 16 over the Rostov region, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

Morning Summary on January 10, 2025

▪️ Overnight, our air defenses repelled drone attacks on Russian regions. In the Rostov Region, at least 16 drones were destroyed or suppressed by electronic warfare means by morning. In the village of Chaltyr in the Myasnikovsky District, a fire broke out in a private house, with cars also catching fire. There was a fire at an industrial enterprise in the village of Krym. In the Kryukov farm of the Kuibyshev District, several buildings were damaged due to a drone crash. Drones were also destroyed in the suburbs of Voronezh, damaging private homes. At least three UAVs were shot down over the Bryansk Region. There were also reports of air defense operations in the Krasnodar Territory.

▪️ Information (https://t.me/dva_majors/62151) on events in the Kursk Region is often either ahead of events or deliberately not covered for understandable reasons, with heavy counterattacks ongoing. It can be reliably stated that there are battles near specific settlements due to the high intensity of combat. The Russian Armed Forces maintain the initiative, with the “North” grouping reporting the encirclement of the enemy at strongpoints between Guevo and Kurilovka. Our assault teams are advancing with stubborn fighting in the forest belts of the Sudzha border area, in the vicinity of the settlements of Daryino, Sverdlikovo, Orlovka, Nikolaevka, Makhnovka and Cherkasskoye Porechnoye. Five AFU servicemen and a mercenary from Colombia were captured. Over the past day, the enemy has redeployed units from several different territorial defense brigades from Kramatorsk and a special operations group from the Dnipropetrovsk Region.

▪️ North of Kupiansk, our bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol River in the settlement of Dvorichna is expanding. Our troops have advanced in the town itself and its environs.

▪️ In Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk), heavy fighting continues in the north and west of the city, with the enemy pushed back to the outskirts, while retaining control of important strongpoints.

▪️ On the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiisk) direction, our troops have advanced south of the settlement of Baranivka, in the Vozdvyzhenka area towards the Pokrovsk – Kostiantynivka highway. An offensive is underway through the settlement of Pishchane and west of Volkovo. South of Pokrovsk, the Russian Armed Forces are pushing through the enemy’s defenses in the area of the settlement of Slavianka and Petropavlivka. The enemy’s resources claim to expect the redeployment of our reserves to maintain the high pace of combat operations, although this may be an inept attempt to justify the growing number of tactical crises of the AFU in this section of the front.

▪️ In the Zaporizhia Region, as a result of an artillery strike by the enemy on Kamianka-Dniprovska, two women born in 1940 and 1965 were killed. The artillery strike was accompanied by strikes by enemy drones.

▪️ In the Kherson Region, Podo-Kalinivka, Abrikosivka, Velyki Kopani and Nova Mayachka were subjected to strikes by the AFU. Two people were killed, six people were injured.

▪️ In the Belgorod Region, in the Shebekino district, in the village of Murom, a UAV attacked a private house, injuring a man. In the settlement of Borisovka, an AFU FPV drone detonated. In Nikolskoye of the Belgorod district, the roof was pierced and windows were broken in 3 apartments in a high-rise building 

 Morning Summary on January 11, 2025

▪️ Overnight, the enemy attacked our regions with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In the Belgorod Region, several enemy drones were shot down over the Belgorod district, resulting in broken windows and damaged roofs in private homes in the village of Mayskiy due to falling debris. In the Voronezh Region, at least 15 UAVs were shot down overnight. The Krasnodar Territory was subjected to a massive drone attack, with local residents reporting explosions heard over Anapa and Novorossiysk, where a fire started after one of the explosions. In Kotovsk, Tambov Region, two residential houses were damaged, and there are casualties. Drones were also reported in Kursk, Saratov and Lipetsk Regions, Sevastopol, Kerch and Taman.

▪️ In the Kursk Region, the enemy, taking advantage of poor weather conditions with limited visibility, made 11 unsuccessful counterattacks in different sectors of the front in the Sudzha border area. Our troops completed the clearing of enemy strongholds between Guevo and Kurilovka, and are advancing with fierce battles in the forest belts of the Sudzha district. Fierce fighting continues in Makhnovka and Cherkaskaya Porechna, where the enemy is deploying more and more units.

▪️ In Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk), our troops are advancing with heavy fighting on the remaining enemy positions in the mines and urban areas on the outskirts of the city. The mine dumps near mine No. 10 have been captured. The months-long assault on the city is gradually coming to an end, but it is still too early to speak of the city’s complete capture, as the battle continues. The enemy is clinging to its positions, conducting organized defense, and striking with many drones.

▪️ In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces have not yet begun the assault on the city itself, seeking to cut off the enemy’s logistics, moving from the southwest (the Volkovo – Solene line). Although Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeisk) is just a couple of kilometers away.

▪️ Northwest of the liberated Kurakhovo, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing from the settlement of Shevchenko towards Andreyevka, straightening the front line near Slavyanka.

▪️ In the direction of Velyka (Bolshaya) Novoselka, fighting continues around the nearby settlements. It remains to completely block the enemy’s ability to resupply, and a “pocket” has again formed where enemy forces remain.

▪️ In the Belgorod Region, in the area of the village of Yasnyye Zori, a kamikaze drone attacked a moving vehicle, injuring two men. On the section of the Nikolskoye – Yasnyye Zori highway, another drone struck a passenger bus, injuring the driver.

▪️ In the DPR, the enemy fired 122mm MLRS at the settlement of Svetlodarsk (https://t.me/DNR_SCKK/20738), using JROF-M fragmentation rockets with an increased range of 40.2 km and greater impact power, presumably from the area of the settlement of Konstantinovka (Dzerzhynsk direction). Three women were killed, a 2008-born girl was seriously injured, and six civilians were wounded. Donetsk was shelled with HIMARS (M-142) MLRS, injuring four civilians.
