Is dynamic clearing to achieve zero infection? What is the key to controlling the covid epidemic? Will the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 (covi) weaken in the future? How to deal with the cross-provincial logistics bottleneck caused by the epidemic? How to solve the "last mile" and "last 100 meters" delivery problem? On the 19th, the State Council's joint prevention and control mechanism press conference focused on answering these questions.

There is an essential difference between "dynamic clearing" and "zero infection"
Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiologist at the China CDC, pointed out at the press conference that there is an essential difference between dynamic clearing and zero infection. Dynamic clearing refers to the discovery and elimination of the covid epidemic that occurs, so as not to allow covi to spread in the place where the epidemic occurred, but also to prevent the virus from spreading to other areas. Dynamic clearing does not pursue zero infection but to achieve the elimination of an epidemic, it also requires timely interruption of transmission in the place where the epidemic occurs, and no new infection occurs. In other words, the country is not required to be free of covi infections at a certain moment, but for each outbreak that occurs, it is required to be brought under control in a relatively short period of time.
He said that when there is no local continuous spread of the covid epidemic, and the local covid epidemic is mainly imported from abroad, the dynamic clearing strategy is the best choice, and "early detection" is the key to effectively and successfully controlling the covid epidemic. After the Hubei Defense War and the Wuhan Defense War, the local spread of the covid epidemic in China was mainly caused by overseas inbound cases. The prevention and control practice in the past two years or more has proved that for imported clusters of covid epidemics, we can find and eliminate them together. "Dynamic clearing" is to obtain the greatest social effect with the smallest social cost investment, which is in line with CCP China's actual infectious disease prevention and control, and is the best choice for China's prevention and control strategy.
Wu Zunyou emphasized that the current understanding of the covi is still very limited. In the future, the mutation of the covi and the development direction of the epidemic are very complicated. It may develop in the direction of increasing infectivity and weakening pathogenicity, or it may develop in the direction of increasing infectivity and pathogenicity. "To be mentally prepared for the long-term fight against covi, we need to increase our confidence in defeating the epidemic, but we must not be deceived by those overly optimistic messages about the end of the epidemic. At the same time, we must also prepare for a possible large-scale covid epidemic. No matter how we mutate, we have to prepare for the worst possible."

The pass system solves the bottleneck of cross-provincial logistics
Regarding the "hoarding" behavior in various places, Mao Dezhi, deputy director and first-level inspector of the Department of Cooperative Economics of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, admitted that the total production of "vegetable basket" products in the country is guaranteed. At present, the area of vegetables in the field is 73.84 million mu. In early April, the output reached 19.3 million tons, which is equivalent to providing 2.7 catties of vegetables per person per day. In the first quarter, the output of meat, eggs and milk also increased by 8.8%, 2.5% and 8.3% year-on-year, respectively. The supply of aquatic products was stable, and in terms of volume, it could fully meet the consumption needs of the people. The main problem at present is the poor logistics and distribution in some areas.
In this regard, Wu Chungeng, director of the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that since 11 April, the Ministry has set up a special class for road maintenance and smoothness, which conducts daily scheduling and guides localities to carry out self-inspection and self-inspection of closing toll stations and service areas. correct work. As of the evening of 18 April, 82.89% of the toll stations that were closed earlier had resumed normal operation. "We will speed up the promotion of the use of nationally-uniform and mutually-recognized passports to ensure a uniform format, convenient handling, sufficient issuance, national mutual recognition, and smooth passage."
The establishment of a pass system for vehicles of key materials is an important measure to ensure the transportation of key materials across regions and provinces in an emergency. Wu Chungeng revealed that as of 17 April, 23 provinces in China have established a pass system as required, and 31 transit stations for emergency supplies in 10 provinces have been opened one after another.
In response to the distribution problems in the "last mile" and "last 100 m" in some areas, Bian Zuodong, deputy director of the Market Supervision Department of the State Post Bureau, said that he will cooperate with the transportation of emergency supplies and daily necessities according to the actual needs of the local government. and delivery. For example, in Shanghai, companies such as JD.com, China Post, SF Express, and YTO are actively using their respective advantages to go all out to help ensure the supply of urban materials. Express companies such as JD.com have also dispatched unmanned smart express vehicles to carry out contactless delivery in sealed-off areas, effectively reducing the risk of the spread of the epidemic.

Shanghai people continue to beat gongs for supplies, many communities collectively resist nucleic acid (video)

(Screenshot of web video)
Shanghai's extreme blockade and control blood debts are accumulating more and more, and the people's resistance is getting heavier. Online video shows that residents in many districts are beating gongs and drums to ask for supplies. There are also many communities collectively resisting nucleic acid testing.
A number of videos (links) released on 18 April showed that that night in Haiqingpu District, Jiading District, Putuo District and other administrative districts, residents of the community organized to knock on pots, plates, pots and other items, and shouted "material." Some residents of the community marched while knocking downstairs in the community. Some residents of the community who could not go downstairs collectively knocked and shouted on the high-rise buildings.
In addition, online videos and photos showed that residents of many communities in Shanghai collectively refused to go downstairs for nucleic acid testing. Many residents directly posted the statement "Negative self-test, refusal of nucleic acid test" on their doors.
Another video (link) shows that in a group of owners of a community, an official person notified about the nucleic acid test of the whole building and asked the owners if they were willing to go downstairs. The reply below is almost unanimous "don't want to". There are also many owners who have put forward various reasons for rejecting nucleic acids. Some people say, "nucleic acid every day, enough tossing". Some people criticize the endless nucleic acid sampling, which increases the risk of cross-infection, and some people even slam "If we continue to do this, our community will become a shelter."
Some owners denounced the CCP’s official policy: “Nowadays, covi will not kill people, but this tossing the common people, wasting national resources, hospitals are not open, there is no cure for the diseases that should be treated, and the medicines to be taken are delayed for a long time. People will die. Do they stop until a large number of people die?"
Amid the denunciations, the people who initiated the inquiry hurriedly expressed their stance to "negotiate with their superiors" and asked the owners not to complain about the officials of the neighborhood committee, because they were also "helpless".
According to Reuters news on 17 April, the State Council of the Communist Party of China and the Shanghai authorities have set the political goal of "social dynamic clearing of Shanghai" on 20 April. The Shanghai authorities subsequently announced that all staff would be tested for the virus from the 18th to the 21st, and the quarantine area required a nucleic acid test once a day. At the same time, more communities ordered the suspension of group purchases to cooperate with "clearing", which made the supply of materials even more tense.
The closure of the city in Shanghai created a "great famine", and many people died of starvation or died of illness, causing public grievances to boil over. On Weibo, the lyric of the Chinese national anthem "#Get up unwilling to be slaves#" once became a hot topic but it was quickly blocked by Weibo.

The necessity and significance of high-frequency nucleic acid detection screening for several consecutive days in the sealed areas
Gao Chunfang, director of the Laboratory Center of Yueyang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that high-frequency nucleic acid testing is very necessary. In terms of the occurrence and development of clinical diseases, any pathogen infection has a certain incubation period, and covi is no exception, and there are certain individual differences in the length of the incubation period. From the perspective of detection technology, there is a growth and replication process in the human body after virus infection. If the viral load in the early stage of infection is lower than the lower limit of detection, the positive is difficult to be found. This time period is the detection window period. The "incubation period + detection window period" makes it impossible to detect positive results in the early stage of infection. Therefore, repeated tests can increase the probability of positive detection and detect positive in time.
At the same time, because the sampling of respiratory pathogens mainly adopts several forms of throat swab, nasal swab, and nasal + pharyngeal swab, there are inevitably certain sampling differences in the sampling process. Such differences include sampling site, depth, and amount of collected secretions. Therefore, repeated sampling and testing can compensate for the possible false negative effects caused by sampling errors.
Hu Xiaobo, director of the Shanghai Clinical Laboratory Center, said that when it comes to community screening, when the community completes a round of nucleic acid screening, usually those infected with a higher viral load can be screened, but there are also some with a lower viral load. Infected people will show negative nucleic acid results at the initial stage, and they can only be detected by testing when more and more virus replication occurs in their bodies. The latter, if not detected in time, may become potential spreaders in the community. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically detect positive infected persons as soon as possible through multiple rounds of nucleic acid screening in a row, and realize the social dynamic clearing aspects as soon as possible.

Preventing cross-infection during large-scale nucleic acid testing
Wu Qing, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, said that in terms of resource allocation, utilization and scheduling organization for large-scale nucleic acid testing, Shanghai has organized various streets, towns and communities to set up sampling points reasonably, and tried to do a good job in the organization and mobilization of residents. Many districts have adopted a series of organizational methods including "do not call, do not call, move again when called", "go to the door when you need to go, go downstairs when you need to go downstairs", "divide by door, by time period, and by batch". At the same time, guide residents to strictly abide by the "2 m line" spacing, wear masks, and not communicate during the testing process to avoid cross-infection.
Zhao Dahai, a professor at the School of International and Public Affairs of Shanghai Jiaotong University and executive director of the Shanghai Jiaotong University-Yale University Joint Research Center for Health Policy, said that by optimizing the methods and methods of nucleic acid testing, residents will be organized to participate in nucleic acid testing in an orderly manner and in batches, reducing the number of gatherings of people can effectively prevent cross-infection.

Make large-scale nucleic acid testing more convenient and efficient
In terms of sampling power, Shanghai has required all districts to conduct grid screening to find out the actual population in the screening area, and reasonably allocate sampling medical staff. Taking 16 April as an example, Shanghai invested nearly 25,000 sampling medical staff, including more than 12,000 medical staff from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places. With the support and help of the sister provinces and cities, the large-scale nucleic acid screening has been completed on time and according to the quantity in the past few days.
In terms of testing strength, on the one hand, Shanghai has enhanced its nucleic acid testing capabilities through rapid new gas membrane laboratories and mobile nucleic acid testing vehicles; Accepting aid from other provinces and cities for construction and sending samples to sister cities, etc., have further enhanced testing capabilities.
At present, Shanghai has a maximum detection capacity of nearly 5 million tubes per day, and more than 2,000 sample transfer vehicles have been deployed to speed up sample transfer.

Coordinating the next resumption of work and production, meeting the normalization needs of nucleic acid testing
Wu Qing said that Shanghai is currently planning and laying out a nucleic acid detection method that combines "fixed sampling points + convenient sampling points + mobile sampling points" based on regional population density and functional positioning, and coordinating the setting of normalized sampling points.
The fixed sampling points are mainly about 200 existing medical institutions in Shanghai; the convenient sampling points are mainly set up in the form of "books and newsstands"; the mobile sampling points are mainly based on the form of "breakfast carts". Sampling vehicles and other forms improve mobility and mobility.
Fixed, convenient, mobile and other sampling point facilities will be mainly located in residential areas, transportation stations (such as subway entrances, bus stops, airports, ports, high-speed railways, bus stations, etc), CBD parks and other office areas, large construction sites, schools, large supermarkets, medical stores and other surrounding areas. For places with a lot of people, try to choose a relatively independent site that is open, with better ventilation conditions.

The people-friendly show is smashed again. Sun Chunlan’s inspection is blocked when the elderly seek medical treatment (video)
Editor : Jing Zhongming / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2022/04/19/a103404762.html / Image : On 18 April 2022, an online video showed that officials such as Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of the Communist Party of China looked outside the wall to see the elderly in the Shanghai community being blocked from seeking medical treatment. (Screenshot of web video)
Shanghai's residents are angry, and Li Qiang, secretary of the CPC Municipal Committee, "inspected" the community and was reprimanded by residents. A few days ago, another video showed that Sun Chunlan, Vice Premier of the Communist Party of China, was "inspecting" the community when he encountered an old man who wanted to go out for medical treatment and was stopped by epidemic prevention personnel.
According to the official coal report of the Communist Party of China, Sun Chunlan conducted research in Shanghai from 17 to 18 April, and went to Pudong New Area and Huangpu District to "supervise the work of social clearing."
The online video (link) stated that on the 18th, Sun Chunlan visited Laoximen, Huangpu District, and happened to encounter an elderly person in a community who had a sudden illness.
The video shows an elderly man sitting on the concrete floor of the community, emotionally reasoning with the epidemic prevention staff. On the sidewalk outside the community, it was suspected that Sun Chunlan and several officials were watching what happened in the hospital through the guardrail. The man who took the video said, "Vice Premier Sun is here."
The video (link) sent by netizens also showed that Sun Chunlan "inspected" Huangpu District that day, but did not dare to enter the community, but just walked around the gate of the community.
Videos and photos of Sun Chunlan's "inspection" of an empty road were also reported on the Internet.
Netizens also took photos showing that Sun Chunlan "inspected" Menghua Street, a century-old street from 15 to 16 April. In fact, she was posing on the roof of a state-owned enterprise building. The photos taken by netizens are exactly the same as those published by CCTV, but the angle chosen for the CCTV photos does not show that they were taken on the roof of the building.

According to the WeChat public account of "Shanghai Release", at the press conference on Shanghai's epidemic prevention and control work held in the morning of 20 April 2022, Wu Qianyu, a first-level inspector of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, reported: On 19 April, Shanghai added 2,494 local confirmed cases of covid and 16,407 local asymptomatic infections. Among the 2,494 local confirmed cases, 1,800 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, 161 were found in nucleic acid screening of relevant risk groups, and 533 were asymptomatic infected patients. Among the 16,407 local asymptomatic infections, 16,178 were found in closed-loop isolation and control, and 229 were found in nucleic acid screening of relevant risk groups.
Wu Qianyu pointed out that the epidemic situation in Shanghai has shown a downward trend in recent days. Streets and towns reporting more than 100 new cases in a single day have dropped for 3 consecutive days, and community spread has been effectively curbed. In the past 3 days, the epidemic situation in Pudong, Minhang, Songjiang, Qingpu and Putuo has shown a continuous downward trend. The epidemic situation in 6 districts including Xuhui, Yangpu, Hongkou, Changning, Baoshan and Jiading is generally in a state of platform fluctuation; the epidemic situation in Huangpu District is still rising slightly, and the upward trend of epidemic situation in Jing'an District is slowing down. The epidemic situation in Fengxian, Jinshan and Chongming continued to be low, and Jinshan District and Chongming District reached the goal of social zero on the first day.
Wu Qianyu also reported that as of 12 am on 20 April, there were 52 severe patients receiving treatment in designated medical institutions.

CDC: New variants of the Omicron are gaining footholds in the U.S.
Reporter ; Zhang Min / Editor : Zhang Mingxin / https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gj/2022/04-20/9733825.shtml
In the past two weeks, the number of new covid cases in many places in the United States has risen again. According to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on 19 April that the new variants of Omicron are gaining footholds in the United States. Although the Omicron BA.2 subtype remains the predominant strain in the United States, the Omicron subtype variant BA.2.12.1 currently accounts for about one-fifth of new cases in the United States.
At present, BA.2. accounts for about 75% of the covi variants in the United States but the U.S. Department of Health said last week that new Omicron subtype variants, BA.2.12.1 and BA.2.12, may be responsible for the recent surge in cases in New York state. New York State health officials estimate that the new variant is 23% to 27% more contagious than BA.2, which itself is more contagious than Omicron.
According to Reuters, the CDC estimated that the Omicron BA.2 subtype and its new branch variants accounted for more than 90% of the covi variants in the United States in the week ended 16 April 2022.

Reason why the UK does not want to release the country's covid data
The UK government does not want to release the covid data because it reveals that people with HIV and double needles (twice-vaccinated) have Antibody-Dependent Enhancement (ADE)!
The UK Health Safety Agency (UKHSA) declined to share data on C-19 cases, hospitalisations and post-injection deaths, as this would prove that people who received boosters developed AIDS, while those who received double injections developed ADE.
In October 2021, The Expose disclosed UKHSA data showing that the actual effectiveness of the covi vaccine against injection was -109%.
Vaccines are less effective over time, according to UKHSA. Is that why we have to get booster shots?
It is a lie. It does not matter how effective the vaccine is but the performance of the autoimmune system does weaken.

Vaccine effectiveness a comparison to the immune system of an unvaccinated person
Vaccine effectiveness is not a measure of a vaccine but a comparison to the immune system of an unvaccinated person; shots are supposed to help a person build immunity my mimicking an infection. Once the mimicked infection wears off over time, the body has memory T cells and antibodies that remember how to fight the disease in the future.
-50% vaccine effectiveness means the vaccinated immune system performs worse than the natural immune system! This means that the C-19 vaccine has completely destroyed the immune system.
The lowest immune system performance was in the 60-69 age group at an astounding -80% but all people aged 30 to 59 years old with three shots were close behind with immune system performance at around -76%. Even those aged 18 to 29 years old were in this zone, and their immune system performance dropped from +11/35% to -70%.
News (16)
Likelihood of suffering from AIDS and ADE
The report further pointed out that if the immune system performance reaches about -95%, then this has shown that the thrice-vaccinated person has already suffered from AIDS induced by the covi vaccine.
Unfortunately, based on the trends seen so far over the past three months, the youngest group will not have to wait too long to do the same but it cannot be officially confirmed because UK Health Security has decided to hide it and hide official data.
That is not the only dire outcome the UKHSA is trying to hide though. The UKHSA data also shows that people with double needles are suffering from antibody-dependent potentiation, ADE. UKHSA has been trying to hide the news since the start of the year.

Wang Sicong's Weibo was banned
Wang Sicong, the son of the former richest man in China Wang Jianlin, has another issue. His Weibo was banned, which also caused a lot of discussion among netizens. Many friends in the wall think that this should be because he beat Lianhua Qingwen before, which caused Yiling Pharmaceutical to continuously drop the limit, so the forces behind him retaliate against him.
However, what we know is not completely the case. The more direct reason is that Wang Sicong sent a message in the circle of friends, which is obviously a tower attack, "Every morning, the test is not positive or recessive, but you servile and bloody. Starting today, I won't go out to do accounting again." He replaced nucleic acid with accounting, probably to avoid the censorship of sensitive words. However, it was discovered, so the authorities retaliated.
Some people doubt whether such a powerful sentence is really sent by Wang Sicong. However, newsman Shi Feike confirmed that Wang Sicong was indeed trapped in Shanghai, and his information channel confirmed that it was indeed sent by Wang Sicong himself. Shi Feike even praised him and said, "Speaking of which, Wang Jianlin is really blessed. Wanda's annihilation is nothing. To have such a son is more reliable than any family wealth!"
Indeed, Wang Sicong's two recent speeches have directly attacked major events that many people want to talk about but are afraid to talk about, which is refreshing. Therefore, after his Weibo was blocked, some netizens sent a reward to ask questions: "Spend ￥10000.00 to ask @王思聪'How to evaluate Wang Sicong's ban on Weibo for violating laws and regulations? Musk was harmed by Twitter, so he wanted to If you buy Twitter, will you also buy Weibo?'"
Having said that, we are going to talk about it. Wang Sicong also caused an Internet craze before, and even caused Yiling Pharmaceutical's stock price to plummet, making it difficult to resist another party in the incident, doctor Zhong Nanshan.

Zhong Nanshan's paper denies Xi's "absolute clearing"
Zhong Nanshan recently published an English-language review article in the English-language journal National Science Review, saying that China needs to reopen to normalize social and economic development and adapt to the global reopening.
He said, "In the long run, we can't always pursue dynamic clearing." This sentence is considered by many netizens to openly oppose Xi Jinping's clearing policy, and there is another point in the paper that attracts attention, that is, he proposes to speed up specific chemical drugs. This is also considered a slap in the face, admitting in disguise that the traditional Chinese medicines such as Lianhua Qingwen that the official advocated before are not effective or are just a placebo at all.
So how should we read this English paper by Zhong Nanshan? I have three opinions: first, it is obviously inconsistent with what he said in China, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has two faces inside and outside; second, he proposes to increase the vaccination rate, speed up the research and development of specific drugs, and attach importance to antigens testing, research, reliable and shortest isolation time, pilot policy adjustments, etc., obviously still want to patch the authorities, not boldly rushing to the tower; third, he maintains the current ineffective vaccines in China but does not mention the introduction of more efficient vaccines The criticality and urgency of a safe mRNA vaccine is also at odds with many other Chinese doctors.
Speaking of Zhong Nanshan's duality, I would like to continue to review a speech he gave in 2020.
I don't know, how did you feel after watching this video? I feel that he is just Shen Jilan, an evergreen tree in the medical community. Although he has his own medical opinions, he does not dare to express them. Instead, he follows the policies of the CCP authorities. At the same time, he, like Yu Luming, the director of the Beijing Municipal Health and Health Commission, who was just arrested, continues to speak for different companies, and there may be a lot of interest blending behind it. Including his cooperation with Yiling Pharmaceutical, more inside stories may be dug up in the future. I think this big melon will definitely be revealed.
However, the authorities may not move for the time being, because they do not want the model they set up to fall and endanger the CCP’s own rule. The party still needs Zhong Nanshan to continue to sing praises for it at home but abroad, this kind of paper actually gives the outside world a false imagination in a sense, as if preparing to open up.
Speaking of which, I think it is necessary to share a recent calculation by Liang Jianzhang, one of the founders of Ctrip. He believes that the number of deaths that Omicron may have caused in China calculated by some literati who endorsed the official website is exaggerated.

Hong Kong has a far looser definition of covid death than WHO, 153,000 covid deaths in China predicted
"Some people simply calculate the prospects of mainland China based on the magnification of the population, saying that if the mainland learns from Hong Kong, the death toll will be as high as 1.67 million. This kind of analysis may be alarmist, because the proportion of elderly people in Hong Kong is much higher than that in the mainland, and their Vaccination rates are much lower than those in the mainland, and Hong Kong has a far looser definition of death from covid than the World Health Organization.”
Liang Jianzhang's own calculation results are: If the vaccination level of 95% for two shots and 60% for three shots is reached, if according to the definition of the World Health Organization, the number of deaths due to covid in mainland China is predicted to be 153,000. Using data from other Asian countries to forecast the death toll is even lower, somewhere between 37,000 and 155,000.
This calculation is very important, because the current policy of the CCP authorities, including a large number of humanitarian disasters and secondary disasters that have a serious impact on the economy, is based on an important assumption that the number of deaths caused by Omicron will be large. It is scary.

The Great Battle for eastern Ukraine begins, Azov Steel Plant becomes a strong fortress of the Ukrainian army
Let's take a look at the latest developments in the Ukraine war. Since yesterday, the Russian army has increased its bombing of Kyiv, Kharkov, Mariupol and Ukraine eastern. Today, the Russian army has launched a comprehensive ground offensive along the entire U-East front, trying to capture the industrial center of Ukraine eastern. Ukrainian officials say the war has entered "a whole new phase".
From the point of view of the Russian army’s operational goals at this stage, this is their attempt to seize the Donbass region rich in coal and steel after the failure of the all-out offensive, so as to consolidate the peninsula Crimea, which was already occupied in 2014, and to continue along the The Black Sea and the Sea of Azov line connect the eastern region of Ukraine with the Russian mainland, and if they retreat, they can use this as a bargaining chip and exchange for greater benefits with Ukraine.
Let's take a look at the two Ukrainian war situation maps released by the British Ministry of Defense and the French Ministry of Defense. It can be seen that the Russian side has invested its air and space forces, the eastern theater, the central theater, the western theater and the southern theater. It is clear that the Donbass region will be taken down in one fell swoop.
However, I personally think that in this war, I am afraid that Russia will not be able to do what it wants. There are three main reasons: First, since the mass killing of civilians by the Russian army in the town of Butcha near Kyiv was discovered, the Ukrainian people were outraged and wanted to drive the aggressors out of Ukraine.
Second, the international situation has undergone tremendous changes. External aid from the United States and Europe, including Germany, has continued to flow, and many heavy weapons have arrived in Ukraine, which makes the balance of power between the two sides constantly changing;
Third, in fact, NATO has actually participated in the war, not only with weapons and intelligence support, but also with electronic jamming near some bridges and key facilities but the real reason why it is difficult to hit the target is not that Russia's missiles and aircraft are so bad, but that Russia is obviously inferior to NATO in the confrontation of electronic warfare.
For example, the Russian army yesterday launched five missiles at Lviv, a city in western Ukraine close to Poland. A spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that a large number of weapons arriving in Ukraine from the United States and Europe were destroyed in a logistics center in Lviv. However, local Ukrainian friends say this is absolutely nothing. This is corroborated by the photos leaked on the Internet and the statement of the mayor of Lviv.
The mayor of Lviv, Ukraine, confirmed that Lviv was hit by 4 missiles and exploded (the other did not explode), one of which hit a small roadside garage, one hit a small warehouse, and two Eight people were killed when a missile exploded near a train freight station. That is, the key target was not hit.
The key reason here is because the Russian military's precision-guided weapons are subject to strong electromagnetic suppression by the United States and NATO, and most of them cannot hit the target.
In terms of the key offensive targets of the Russian army, they have not made a breakthrough. Including Mariupol, which has been attacked by the Russian army for more than 50 days, although the Russian army has thrown a huge earth-penetrating bomb weighing more than 7 tons, known as the bunker nemesis, at the Azov Steel Plant, which the Ukrainian army is defending but the Russians did not take it either.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Azov battalion stationed at the steel factory also rushed to the surface from the underground fortifications of the Azov steel factory when the Russian artillery stopped, knocked down the Russian attacking convoy, and then quickly retreated to the ruins to their position, and take a group photo to report safety to the outside world. Let's take a look at this video clip.
The Russians seem to be at a loss in this regard. On Saturday, they gave an ultimatum to garrison the Ukrainian army to surrender before 2 o'clock on Sunday, but was refused. On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry issued another ultimatum to the Ukrainian army. "All those who lay down their arms are guaranteed their lives," the Russian Defense Ministry said. Give them a new deadline of 12pm local time. Currently, the deadline has passed without any apparent surrender.
In my impression, this is at least the third ultimatum issued by the Russian army to the defenders, and this has become a bit like a joke.
So why has Mariupol not been attacked for so long?
This Azov steel plant was built in Soviet times and is one of the largest metallurgical plants in Europe. Covering more than 11 square km, the industrial zone is a steel labyrinth of countless railroad tracks, blast furnaces and factory buildings. Under the steel plant, there is a more mysterious and huge underground fortress, with a depth of at least 25 meters, a total of 6-7 layers of space, and a tunnel as long as 24 km. The ground is built with reinforced concrete nearly four meters thick, which can withstand shelling, and some areas can also withstand small nuclear strikes. Each entrance and exit of the underground passage is equipped with five doors, which are respectively used for fire prevention, explosion protection, chemical weapons, biological weapons and nuclear radiation protection.
Moreover, this underground fortification has its own power generation system and stores weapons, water, medicine and food. Combining such facilities with various buildings on the ground will make the invading Russian army difficult to guard against. On 16 April, Jan Gakin, an adviser to the Donetsk armed leaders, once lamented, "The underground city connects the factory with other buildings, which makes the attack on the factory more complicated."
This underground fortress has been renovated several times since the independence of Ukraine. Especially after Russia's invasion of Crimea in 2014, the Ukrainian army has been strengthened and more prepared and Russia does not have the modified drawings.
At present, the people staying in this underground castle include the 36th Ukrainian Naval Brigade, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Border Guard and the Azov Battalion, as well as 400 foreign volunteers. In addition, 1,000 civilians are said to be in the underground bunker. They pinned down some 16,000 Russian troops. Both sides are determined to win.
So, why are the two sides fighting fiercely here? Because Mariupol's strategic location is extremely important.
As can be seen from the map, as a port city on the coast of the Sea of Azov, Mariupol is the core city and economic town on the eastern coast of Ukraine, connecting northward to Donetsk, which has been occupied by Russian troops and pro-Russian rebels. And Luhansk, connecting to the south of the first larger city Kherson, which had been occupied by the Russian army, and the Crimea peninsula further south, to the west, it guards the Dnieper defense line that divides the Ukrainian territory in two vertically. .
If Mariupol falls, the Russian army will open up the land passage from the mainland to Crimea, and the offensive of the Russian army on the eastern front will be in line with the Russian army on the southern front. For Ukraine, it means losing the most important sea outlet in the east.
At present, the Ukrainian army still occupies most of the underground fortress. So, will the Russian army finally break through and completely own Mariupol, and will the Ukrainian army then launch a major counter-offensive? We will continue to follow up with relevant news.
In addition, Russia and the CCP have always denied the Bucha massacre. However, we will update the relevant information, so you can judge for yourself. This information is also helpful for everyone to understand why Ukraine has been able to frequently behead the Russian army. So far, at least 2 lieutenant generals and 6 major generals of the Russian army have been killed.
At present, in addition to the independent investigation by the United Nations, judicial organs in a total of 12 countries are formally investigating the Bucha incident, including France and Germany, which are more ambiguous with Russia. We have talked before about Germany's intelligence agencies, and we have sent some recordings to the German parliament and to the United Nations. Among them, the recording of the call between the Russian soldiers and their leaders in Bucha in March. The soldiers said that a cyclist came out in front. Do you want to fight? The leader said, shoot. Soldier said, really fight? The leader said, shoot. Similar to the recording, there are several paragraphs.
So, many people may be wondering, how did Germany get these recordings? Because, on the border of Austria and Germany, Germany has a Bad Aibling radar. This radar can monitor all communications from phone calls to faxes to e-mails in any country. It uses a very advanced microwave induction method to capture communication data packets, and then decode and decipher, so that a large number of surrounding calls and other content come out. How big is its grabbing power? 23 million data per hour. Therefore, every call record in the town of Bucha is stored on the server of the German intelligence service. The truth of Bucha is basically determined.
This also helps everyone understand why senior Russian military officers are frequently beheaded. Because we know that the United States has provided Ukraine with advanced facial and voice recognition, and Ukraine has a dedicated beheading professional team, so the Russian military was hit so hard.
