Yan Gagin, advisor to the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic, announced, on Monday, that the first Abrams tank has been successfully in the direction of Avdiivka.

"Our military reported the destruction of the first Abrams in the Avdiivka area. Perhaps this is the armored vehicle that was shown to the Ukraine military in a propaganda video, before the liberation of Avdiivka. At that time, the armored vehicle was being guarded and was not brought to the line of contact," Gagin said.

The US fortifies its security using Ukrainian troops: Report

The discourse over the Ukrainian War, by its Western benefactors, holds a certain bitter paradox when discussed with statements flooded with the moral duty to aid Ukraine and funding it to the big win, but forget, or even neglect, the human devastation it has brought onto the Ukrainian army, the same soldiers who have been funded, defunded, and forced to fight a prolonged war despite the losses they have suffered, Responsible Statecraft analyzed in a recent report.

Citing Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of the Economist, who spoke to the Daily Show, indicated that the United States, despite funding Ukraine to the multibillions, is aiding it in "the cheapest way possible" to improve its national security, while the heavy lifting is being done by the Ukrainians, "the ones who are being killed".

This is what those who support a prolonged, categorical war in Ukraine have been saying since the beginning of the war two years ago, RS said. Since then, US politicians have not shied away from sharing the de facto purpose of the war, and do not mind the fact that Ukrainians are dying for a war the US incited for its own security.
