All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening in Ukraine.

And let's start things off with the bridgehead, the bridgehead in Herzson, in Krinkie, which was going to be the launch pad for Zelensky's Crimea 2.0 offensive. What is going on with that bridgehead?

Well, it appears to be disintegrating. Now, there were reports about two days ago that the Russian

troops have actually raised their flag in the centre of Kringi.

And there were also reports that a group of Ukrainian soldiers, 135, who had been tasked with

being sent to Krienki as part of a troop rotation, that they refused to go there and that they've all been arrested.

Now, we've not seen pictures of this flag. And of course, these reports about these soldiers,

these Ukrainian soldiers who refuse to go to Kringy. We're not going to get confirmation

from any official source about that either. But as I understand it, and this is now

information that's coming from a large assortment of sources, all on the Russian side, we need

to accept that, but they're the sort of people who do provide accurate information, is that the bridgehead is all but collapsing, that the Ukrainian

soldiers there are barely able to put up any resistance, that the Russians can enter any

part of the bridgehead that they want, probably plant flags. They don't stay there for very long because there are still Ukrainian troops

on the other side of the river who are able to bomb and show them. But essentially, it's now

a tidying up exercise within the next couple of days or weeks, probably weak, the whole thing will be cleared.

And this whole operation in Krenki, this whole bridgehead, this whole Normandy landing and

advance on Crimea across the NEPA will be finally at an end.

The bridgehead has become untenable.

The soldiers there, apparently,

who are left, are few in number, many of them apparently very ill. The conditions in the bridgehead

are absolutely hellish. The temperatures are appalling. I mean, we're talking about something like

minus 20 on some nights. I mean, we're talking about something like minus 20 on some nights and practically no
