most people here are familiar with the official UN Human Rights Dept. publication of violations 2014-2021 titled “Arbitrary Detention, Torture, and Ill-Treatment in the Context of Armed Conflict in Eastern Ukraine”:
Items 3, 12, 46, 47, etc state that Ukrainian security agency performed the following kinds of tortures on over 8,000 critics of current Ukr government in the eastern republics of Ukraine: torture by wet and dry asphyxiation, beatings, sterilizations, electrocutions, violence to sexual organs including electric shocks, etc.”

@GOOFYon0ping During a massive "retaliation strike," as the Russian Defense Ministry called it, a Kinzhal hypersonic missile hit the Joint Command, Control and Communications Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO, the Greek portal Pronews reported on March 12. The region in which the headquarters was located is not indicated, but it is noted that it was underground at a depth of 130 meters.
The number and names of the dead are also not known, but it is noted that this is the first case in which "so many" victims were recorded. In addition, for the first time during the special operation in Ukraine, NATO officials and officers came under attack.
“The underground headquarters served a number of NATO officials, it accommodated more than 300 people. <...> It is not known how many Ukrainians and Western military were killed, but this is the first time that Western representatives have counted so many dead officers and non-commissioned officers, ”
- the publication says.
It is noted that most of the victims are British and Poles, as well as Americans and employees of private companies that maintained communication and data transmission. In connection with the death of the military responsible for communications and intelligence, the publication notes, the question arises of how NATO and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will coordinate the defense of Bakhmut (Artemovsk).
“This is the first massive strike against NATO personnel, and it is not known how the West will react. Although, if they react, it will be tantamount to recognizing the active participation of personnel in the war against Russia, ”writes Pronews.
On February 19, Reuters, citing a NATO official, reported that the alliance moved Ukrainian personnel from Kyiv to Lvov and Brussels for security reasons. The NATO representative did not specify the number of troops transported. Perhaps it was the object in Lvov that was hit by the Kinzhal.
"Strike of Vengeance"
On March 9, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on the infliction of a massive “retaliation strike” with high-precision weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, at facilities in Ukraine in response to terrorist attacks in the Bryansk region.
“In response to the terrorist actions organized by the Kyiv regime in the Bryansk region on March 2, the RF Armed Forces dealt a massive retaliation strike. High-precision weapons <...> hit key elements of the military infrastructure of Ukraine, enterprises of the military-industrial complex, as well as energy facilities that provide them, ”he said.
They noted that the goal of the strike was achieved, all designated objects were hit. The regions and facilities that were hit were not specified by the Defense Ministry.
On March 11, an Americanist political scientist, professor at the Higher School of Economics, Dmitry Evstafiev, suggested that during the “retribution strike” on March 9, “we covered the NATO (or rather, even directly American) group of advisers.” According to him, the appearance on March 11 of the strategic bomber B-52H Stratofortress of the US Air Force in the sky over the Baltic Sea, 200 km from St. Petersburg, is a response to the "retaliation strike."
“I’ll even assume that [liquidated] at least a part of the “collective Zaluzhny”, and not just techies-habir, if someone understands what I mean. We are now being hinted that the United States also has something to answer, ”added Evstafiev.
Attacks on headquarters and training grounds
On July 14, Caliber cruise missiles hit the House of Officers in Vinnitsa. At the time of the strike, a meeting of the command of the Ukrainian Air Force was held in the building, the Russian Defense Ministry said. The media wrote that NATO representatives were present at the meeting, but there was no confirmation of this.

upd for nafo-bots: The situation in Avdiivka is critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this was stated by the editor-in-chief of the Censor, Yuri Butusov.
According to him, Russian units have gained a foothold on one of the streets on the northern outskirts of Avdiivka.
"If you measure in a straight line, then the enemy's advanced units are one and a half kilometers from the entrance to the city. Two weeks ago, the enemy managed to enter two streets on the southern outskirts of the city. The situation is critical," Butusov said.
The problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to him, consist in the depletion of personnel, ammunition and in the weak interaction of Ukrainian units.
In addition, the Russians have launched a hunt for Ukrainian drone operators.
"Lying in reports at the general level, the desire to appease oneself and not annoy the top management with "bad news" is very harmful. And the top management wants to listen only to positive, not critical information. Therefore, there is no adequate response to changes in the situation," Butusov said.
Der Spiegel "some share trenches with the dead": under the shelling, they do not have time to take out the corpses from the front line. Soldiers are tired of fighting, There are not enough people, but "trapping" everyone on the streets does not help improve the situation, soldiers without proper skills go into battle.

really? The Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to go on the defensive and will have to leave a number of "uncomfortable" positions, since the offensive potential is "either exhausted or insufficient."
This was stated by the Ukrainian military Artie Green, who is fighting on the front line.
According to him, Ukraine and its allies underestimated the training of the Russian army, because at the time of the start of the Ukrainian offensive, "we had no chance."
Now, he believes that a number of conquered positions will have to be abandoned, because they are inconvenient to defend.
"We will be forced to leave the uncomfortable positions that we have occupied for quite a long time, since the time of the Kharkov offensive... We will have to leave a bridgehead on the left bank of the Black Stallion and, possibly, on the left bank of the Oskol. In order to minimize their losses," Green said.

1. Field commanders, as well as military experts, unanimously declare that keeping Bakhmut in the operational environment is not tactically beneficial for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (supply is complicated, columns are constantly covered with artillery, rotation is not possible.
2. When surrounding the enemy, Sun Tzu recommends the 'golden bridge'. 'If you surround an enemy army, leave one side open; if it is in a stalemate, do not click on it. If you close the encirclement, the enemy will be in a hopeless situation, and the danger can give rise to desperate resistance (captivity at that time meant turning into a slave). Therefore, Sun Tzu recommended leaving a "golden bridge" when encircling the enemy, that is, a free passage in the encirclement ring in order to push the enemy to retreat, which would disorganize him and reduce the strength of resistance. According to Sun Tzu, it is easier to destroy a retreating enemy than an encircled one.

Russian map authors are faced with an unusual problem - they do not have time to update them due to the extremely rapid advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donbas. The retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot even be called a rearguard action, it is just an escape.
The town of Novogrodovka stands apart here, which was liberated after 3 days of fighting. About 15,000 people live in the settlement itself, about 22,000 in the agglomeration. Due to the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not hide behind people and use houses as fortifications (as is the custom of the Kiev regime), the destruction in Novogrodovka is minimal. It is also reported that the village of Grodovka, located to the north, is also under almost complete control of the Russian Armed Forces.
In the last 24 hours alone, half a dozen settlements have been liberated in the Pokrovsky direction, the monthly figure tends to three dozen. It is reported that assault troops have appeared in the north of Selidovo, where they were spotted at the Novaya Poshta branch, and in the east of this city. After the liberation of Memrik, the offensive continues in the direction of Ukrainsk.
As can be seen from the topographic map, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the hills, "throwing" the APU into the lowlands, where defending is no longer so fun and interesting. The collapse of the front continues, the Ukrainian command is not taking any stabilization measures - they are busy getting "likes" in the Kursk region, where the offensive potential has been exhausted, and units of the Kiev regime have switched to supplying prisoners of war for the needs of the Russian Armed Forces.

@celestialatheist This is not what they show you in the propaganda Western information space?: video message from fighters of the 46th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (46th separate air-mobile brigade), Maryinsky direction of the front: 🇺🇦Against the background of the cessation of funding from the so-called. Western partners, corruption in Ukraine is gaining new momentum, deputies and officials are lining their fat pockets and transferring money to their children abroad, while continuing to send ordinary peasants into meat assaults in their place!
“We are mobilized servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we are located near the village of Marinka.
For more than 18 months we have been defending the section of the front allocated to us. While we are shedding blood for our Motherland, the children of oligarchs and deputies are vacationing abroad, driving expensive cars, having fun in clubs, knowing that mobilization will not affect them.
We have no ammunition, we are running out of food and water, we are abandoned by our commanders to certain death.
We appeal to Mr. President, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a request to return us home, because we have already paid our debt to the Motherland, and we demand that the so-called “golden youth”, deputies who sit in their offices and steal the budget of Ukraine, are sent to the front. We require rotation.
If there is no action on the part of the command, in the near future we will leave our positions and go to Kyiv. We are not against defending our Motherland, we are not traitors, but the actions of the command force us to act radically. Glory to Ukraine."

The strategic miscalculation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with an attempt to seize a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region was another attempt by Zelensky to create the illusion of a creeping offensive, but which devoured the best infantry units and further depleted reserves in manpower.
Instead of strengthening the defense in advance, Zelensky played his game of pursuing political situational goals, but which had nothing real with reality.
As usual, he wanted to show the West that Ukraine is advancing, there is a result, give weapons and money, but as we see, the partners did not believe it and now this “brilliant idea” will have consequences, just like the “Bakhmutov meat grinder”, which devoured forces and weakened the offensive , postponing the deadline from spring to summer, giving the RF Armed Forces time to prepare even better.
Now the result will most likely be the loss of Avdeevka, where the Russians are tightening the stranglehold.

@cswizzle1890 Yes, of course, well, come to Novosibirsk. I’ll take you to my village. and on the way to Akademgorodok and Technopark we’ll stop by. All economic indicators of Putin's presidency have improved and this is a fact, as well as the number of prisoners decreased by about 20% during his reign, so I remember the nineties personally, I can compare with what I see now, and you are deeply brainwashed clowns, it’s just funny to look at you, but what they turned Europe, it’s a total disgrace

Why? Stupid PR for Zelensky only, that why, -- In Bakhmut, the same situation that was in Debaltseve in February 2015, when the Ukrainian troops were actually surrounded, could be repeated.
Denis Yaroslavsky, the commander of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced such a threat on Espresso TV.
"Now in Bakhmut there are battles right on the streets. There are shooting battles for every lane. A particular danger is that the neck of the so-called operational boiler is no more than 4 kilometers. Without logistics, there is nothing - neither rotation, nor the supply of ammunition. The enemy understands this and is trying to cut off logistics first of all. We understand that there may be a repeat of Debaltseve. The same situation, when the routes are cut off and a targeted exit of troops can jeopardize the entire convoy. Because of this neck, 4 km away, it is very dangerous, "describes the situation Yaroslavsky.
A fighter of the 93rd brigade under the nickname "Your friend Stus" wrote about the same on Twitter yesterday: "As soon as the Russians take the road to Khromovo, Bakhmut will gradually begin to turn from a fortress into a large mass grave. Then there will be no point in being silent about things that pissed off for many months. Maybe someone will see evil in them, but I will already deeply spit. Patience is running out. "
Note that near Debaltseve in 2015, Ukrainian troops were commanded by Oleksandr Syrsky, who is now in charge of the defense of Bakhmut.

There is news that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost complete control over the situation in the central part of Avdiika. Events are developing quickly and completely unpredictably. The Russians are pressing on the fortress from several directions, developing success everywhere.
The situation in Avdiivka is critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this was stated by the editor-in-chief of the Censor, Yuri Butusov.
According to him, Russian units have gained a foothold on one of the streets on the northern outskirts of Avdiivka.
"If you measure in a straight line, then the enemy's advanced units are one and a half kilometers from the entrance to the city. Two weeks ago, the enemy managed to enter two streets on the southern outskirts of the city. The situation is critical," Butusov said.
The problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to him, consist in the depletion of personnel, ammunition and in the weak interaction of Ukrainian units.
In addition, the Russians have launched a hunt for Ukrainian drone operators.
"Lying in reports at the general level, the desire to appease oneself and not annoy the top management with "bad news" is very harmful. And the top management wants to listen only to positive, not critical information. Therefore, there is no adequate response to changes in the situation," Butusov said.

blah blah. If you introduce the T-54 and T-55 in the second echelon, then as it should, which means with all the due ammunition, including advanced shots of the 3UBM11 type with the 3BM25 Isomer armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectile. Such ammunition can be used not only against armored vehicles, for which there are more modern means. BOPS with their barrier action are perfect for breaking into well-fortified oporniks (defenses) and firing points in urban areas.
And in case it is necessary to fight modern armored vehicles, the second echelon can be supplemented with modernized versions of the T-55, which are also in storage for now - with the 9K116-1 Bastion guided weapon system. Salting these stocks "for a rainy day" clearly does not make sense - it is easier to replace them later in storage with T-72s as they are decommissioned.
In general, the potential of the D-10T guns installed on the T-54 and T-55 now still allows them to be used against almost all likely types of targets in Ukraine, except for modern main battle tanks, and even against them options are possible. But only if these guns are supplied with the entire range of shells due, and its recovery from storage is the direct responsibility of the armed forces of those regiments where this equipment will come.

In Bakhmut, the same situation that was in Debaltseve in February 2015, when the Ukrainian troops were actually surrounded, could be repeated.
Denis Yaroslavsky, the commander of one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced such a threat on Espresso TV.
"Now in Bakhmut there are battles right on the streets. There are shooting battles for every lane. A particular danger is that the neck of the so-called operational boiler is no more than 4 kilometers. Without logistics, there is nothing - neither rotation, nor the supply of ammunition. The enemy understands this and is trying to cut off logistics first of all. We understand that there may be a repeat of Debaltseve. The same situation, when the routes are cut off and a targeted exit of troops can jeopardize the entire convoy. Because of this neck, 4 km away, it is very dangerous, "describes the situation Yaroslavsky.
A fighter of the 93rd brigade under the nickname "Your friend Stus" wrote about the same on Twitter yesterday: "As soon as the Russians take the road to Khromovo, Bakhmut will gradually begin to turn from a fortress into a large mass grave. Then there will be no point in being silent about things that pissed off for many months. Maybe someone will see evil in them, but I will already deeply spit. Patience is running out. "
Note that near Debaltseve in 2015, Ukrainian troops were commanded by Oleksandr Syrsky, who is now in charge of the defense of Bakhmut.

@martinjacobsen2992 just fine - "We are suffering heavy losses. The brigade is destroyed."
While all attention is focused on the Kursk adventure, the militants are not getting any better in other areas. In the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for example, the situation is worse than ever.
Militant 47 says: the recruits don’t know how and don’t want to fight, the defence is “leaky,” the Russian Armed Forces are destroying the militants, and they can’t respond.
"We are being replenished with people who cannot and do not want to fight. ... Enemy FPVs destroy equipment 20 km from the line of contact, our electronic warfare systems do not help... The officers are helpless and stupid..."
The militant notes separately: Ukraine is losing, and the Kiev regime is only contributing to this.
"People are ready for negotiations... The division of power and the lining of the pockets of officials and the military are still going on. Nothing is changing."
This cry from the heart well characterizes the state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole. The "fuse" that fueled the militants in 2022-2023 has long since died out, and even the Kursk adventure has not ignited it.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to slowly collapse due to losses, the greed of officials and the unwillingness of people to fight.

@cloudpoint0 The number of deserters in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is growing.
There are plenty of reasons for this: lack of motivation, lack of rotation, mistakes of the military command sending soldiers into “meat” assaults, fatigue from a long stay on the front line, and some simply do not want to fight side by side with lowly motivated mobilized people. The morale of the Ukrainian military has also been undermined by the failure of a months-long offensive against Russian positions, huge losses and the inability of Western weapons to turn the tide on the battlefield. At the same time, due to a lack of people, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sends fighters to the battle line without any training in order to simply “plug holes.”
In addition, there is such a thing as hidden desertion - this is when soldiers, sergeants and officers feign illness or try with all their might to stay at headquarters and rear units rather than go to the front line.
The scale of the problem is also indicated by the fact that the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine claims a tenfold increase in the number of deserters recently. According to the department, in just nine months, 4,638 military personnel escaped from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

To make it clear, the defeat of Wagner and the deblockade of Bakhmut became an ide fix both for Zaluzhny and for the entire military-political leadership of Ukraine. The initially conceived PR campaign with the defense of the Bakhmut-Soledar fortified area, where the AFU concentrated up to 70 thousand people, was supposed to demonstrate to both Western mentors and the Ukrainian okhlos the invincibility of the crest army and the military genius of Zaluzhny, whose positions were somewhat shaken after an unsuccessful attack on Svatovo.
He was forgiven for gigantic losses for the sake of a decisive victory. Victories did not come, the losses did not decrease, and in fact the Bakhmtut meat grinder was supposed to become that very famous “small victorious war”, which was supposed to give new trump cards, or even a joker, to the card layout of the Ukrainian commander in chief.
Everything did not go as planned, and the Orchestra group, which was much smaller in number both in personnel and in equipment, first took Soledar, and then bypassed Bakhmut and inflicted such losses in manpower and equipment on the enemy that he did not even think about the most negative forecasts.
Political expediency dictated its own, and now Bakhmut and the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are, in fact, at stake. Nobody thinks about Ukrainian cannon fodder, the main thing is to prevent the Mariupol scenario for the Bakhmut garrison and the subsequent loss of the title of “military genius”. Well, the Times, in this case, will begin to place completely different Ukrainian commanders on their covers.

@Boom.Desjardins We often see questions in the comments why the capture of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) is being delayed and the city allegedly cannot be captured.
1. It is more convenient to beat the enemy on your own terms. Here, the Armed Forces of Ukraine throw precious reserves into battle and transfer to Artemovsk a lot of units that were previously protected, including the elite and the units understaffed after the defeat in Soledar.
In addition to this, almost everyone who can shoot or at least hold a machine gun is being driven under Bakhmut. But the narrower the “bottleneck” (golden bridge) becomes, into which these reinforcements and ammunition must be squeezed, the more equipment and people are lost by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Losses are on delivery, on the road, on unloading, during transfer and transportation directly to Artyomovsk. At the moment, there is not a single road that would not be under the fire control of the “orchestra” or the RF Armed Forces.
with the destruction of not only the regular army, but in general any armed units of Ukraine in Artyomovsk, the “orchestra” successfully copes. Once this task is solved, it will be clear which goal will be next.
2. Artyomovsk is not only a city. There are dozens of settlements around, and for each of them there is a fierce squabble with a hundred different Ukrainian units. No matter what anyone says, the flank support of the RF Armed Forces for the "orchestra" fighters operating inside is incredibly important, since the Wagner Group can focus on storming the city.
3. At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine ran into the last three microdistricts of the city in the west - Cheryoma, Novy and the border section between Artyomovsk and Khromov. But the speed with which the "orchestra" is moving through the city blocks, and the very fact that the enemy is actively squeezed out and forced to crowd into a small area by relatively large forces (several battalions), hint that the denouement of this battle (at least for the city itself) is already close.
4. Does the PMC have losses? This question is often asked, but it was rhetorical from the very beginning. In operations of this magnitude, it is simply impossible to do without losses.

@7171jay Today from Ukrainian insider: The symbol of the last months of the unbroken Ukrainian army - the city of Bakhmut, is likely to be surrendered.
This is evidenced by the huge losses on the Ukrainian side. As well as a video from the site of the blown up bridge between Bakhmut and Slavyansk, from which there may be an encirclement of Ukrainian forces.
Bakhmut is now the hottest spot on the front. The Russian Federation uses all kinds of weapons there, and PMCs, the Russian military, and the military from the so-called. "LDNR". The United States is putting pressure on European partners in order to transfer weapons to Kyiv as soon as possible. However, in today's realities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot conduct a counteroffensive, they have gone on the defensive.
The commander of the American PMC “Mozart”, who recently arrived in the east of Ukraine, stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are suffering huge losses in this segment. And also the Ukrainian forces have big problems with regeneration. So he calls replenishment after losses. As for the city itself, the most active battles are taking place on the segment of the Bakhmutovsky-Soledarsky LBS. Kyiv urgently transferred the 57th separate motorized infantry and 1st tank brigade to this direction.
These units have armored vehicles Mastiff, BMP-2 and T-72M1R tanks. In this regard, the intensity of the movement of "Wagner" has decreased. However, in the direction of Chasy Yar, the fighting took on a parity character and an artillery duel between the Ukrainian and Russian military takes place literally every day.
The situation should be changed by the appearance of tank companies of the RF Armed Forces, which are armed with highly protected T-90M Proryv-3 MBTs, which could be a turning point in this sector if the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not receive reinforcements and new weapons. Now the Ukrainian forces in the “Bakhmutov meat grinder” are suffering colossal losses.
On average, there are about 300 wounded soldiers there in one day. And if the city is surrendered, to which the situation that has developed there is directly moving, then this will cancel out all the successes of the Ukrainian forces in the Kharkov and Kherson direction. And the spirit of the Ukrainian army will be demoralized.

back to topic: The situation in Avdiivka is critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this was stated by the editor-in-chief of the Censor, Yuri Butusov.
According to him, Russian units have gained a foothold on one of the streets on the northern outskirts of Avdiivka.
"If you measure in a straight line, then the enemy's advanced units are one and a half kilometers from the entrance to the city. Two weeks ago, the enemy managed to enter two streets on the southern outskirts of the city. The situation is critical," Butusov said.
The problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to him, consist in the depletion of personnel, ammunition and in the weak interaction of Ukrainian units.
In addition, the Russians have launched a hunt for Ukrainian drone operators.
"Lying in reports at the general level, the desire to appease oneself and not annoy the top management with "bad news" is very harmful. And the top management wants to listen only to positive, not critical information. Therefore, there is no adequate response to changes in the situation," Butusov said.
Der Spiegel "some share trenches with the dead": under the shelling, they do not have time to take out the corpses from the front line. Soldiers are tired of fighting, There are not enough people, but "trapping" everyone on the streets does not help improve the situation, soldiers without proper skills go into battle. @ZootyZoFo

Well, listen to what the Ukrainian military tells you: "A view from the basements of Avdiivka": NATO does not have the people to fight with Russia.
One of the founders of Azov and the National Corps party, Sergei Korotkov ("Boatswain"), commented on the statements of Western officials about the threat of an attack by the Russian Federation on NATO countries.
He believes that NATO countries "simply do not have people" who could fight against Russia.
"For the last 60 years, leftists have been engaged in etching out everything masculine, masculine and, in their understanding, toxic in their citizens. Simply put, these people are not ready to fight, they have too small balls," Korotkov said.
According to him, the Americans have the same problem. "They killed the concept of "patriotism" in their people, made it toxic, that this is the lot of some marginals, rednecks," Korotkov said.
It should be noted that the "leftists" of the ultra-right are now called the ruling left-liberal elites in the West, including Biden, Scholz and Macron.

yes. Update special for lgbtqnafo: 🇺🇦 A real hero of Ukraine
“Ukrainian Tik Tok is now actively distributing a publication about one hero - Mr. Yuri Velichko,” writes Military Theme Z, “a resident of Volchansk, who sacrificed himself and blew himself up along with the bridge at the entrance to the city during the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces, gaining time for the Armed Forces of Ukraine . In the comments, everyone is crying, lighting candles and writing that “we, Ukrainians, are unworthy of such a person!”
Only the face and hairstyle of this “native of Volchansk” raised some doubts. They searched online and the portrait of the hero of Ukraine turned out to be taken from a clipping of one of the magazines, where his name was listed as Francois Sagat.
This Monsieur Sagat turned out to be not just anyone, but a popular Slovak-French gay porn actor. The gayest gay of all gays, in short.
Well, we think Ukrainians deserve such a hero.

@Lovi89 pathetic nafo clown struggles with logic LOL, General Christopher Cavoli, Commander-in-Chief of NATO: 'Russian air, sea, space, cyber and strategic forces have not suffered significant degradation in the current war. Moreover, Russia will likely rebuild its future military into a larger and more capable ground force…Russia maintains a large stockpile of deployed and undeployed nuclear weapons, which pose an existential threat to the United States. '
Russia hasn't used its full military and economic might. They used 3% of their GDP (The Economist and Business Insider) and a fraction of their 1,500,000 active duty soldiers and 2 million reserves (Washington Post).
Meanwhile, the second largest army in Europe has used all its military might, with the support of 30 nations and they still can't win, and now, the average age in the Ukrainian military is 43 years old (Times magazine).

@Xycomm There you yourself walked over the corpses with a calculator and counted?? Or oryx?? a-ha-ha Oryx has variety of issues that cause US to overcount Russian losses, in some cases drastically. These include double counting (multiple pictures of the same vehicle), wrongly identifying Ukrainian vehicles as Russian losses, counting as lost vehicles that have no apparent damage, accepting images that have obviously been photoshopped, and so on. In one particularly egregious case.
The issue is essentially that Oryx gathers data passively, by having people on social media send them pictures, which they then look at and mark as verified losses. Social media, however, has a pro-Ukrainian bias which leads to a flood of allegedly destroyed Russian vehicles coming in, and Oryx seems to have a weak filter that uncritically verifies almost all of these claims. As a result, Russian losses are drastically overcounted, and Ukrainian losses are undercounted.

@seminolevessicles Due to the shortage of funds from the Ukrainian army, soldiers pay for the purchase of drones and spare parts for front-line equipment from their salaries.
A 33-year-old serviceman with the call sign Viking told The Guardian about this.
The fighter was seriously injured when he tried to get spare parts for a car that his unit used to evacuate from the battlefield.
Another military man with the call sign Swede, whose detachment of the 1st Ukrainian mechanized brigade is located in the Zaporozhye direction, uses modernized Czech T-64 tanks of the Soviet standard. According to him, the job of drone operators will partly be to act in tandem with armored vehicles "like their eyes" when they are deployed to attack.
"We pay up to 70% of our salary for the purchase of drones," the Swede said, focusing on the new attack drones.
Another military man, with the call sign Spielberg, noted that at the front, drones are used as bombers, not kamikazes — "because there is no money to constantly replace them."
"But the most surprising thing, given the importance that the Ukrainian military attaches to drones, is that the soldiers themselves have to finance the effort because the army cannot afford them," writes The Guardian.

At the Istanbul talks in March-April 2022, Putin "really wanted to reach a peaceful settlement with Ukraine," said one of the members of the then Ukrainian delegation, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Alexander Chaly.
"I was in a group of Ukrainian negotiators at that moment. We have been discussing with the Russian delegation for almost two months, March and April, a possible agreement on a peaceful settlement between Ukraine and Russia. And, as you remember, we concluded the so-called "Istanbul Communique". And at the end of April, we were very close to ending the war with some kind of peaceful settlement.
We managed to find a very real compromise. Putin really wanted to reach a peaceful settlement with Ukraine. It is very important to remember this," Chaly said at a debate at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
Earlier, the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arahamia, said that Ukraine had abandoned the Istanbul agreements after Boris Johnson's visit to Kiev

@paultzacos7470 YES
how much did the USSR build in Afghanistan? Industry, education and medicine from scratch. All infrastructure. The Chinese are also building a lot in Africa now. But Russia and China have a different approach - mutually beneficial trade and development, energy and infrastructure projects.
And France and other colonial slave owners only robbed Africa for many years.
An important area of Soviet-African cooperation was the provision of economic and technical assistance to the countries of the continent, the allocation of loans and the training of local personnel. In total, the USSR concluded agreements on economic and technical cooperation with 37 African countries. On their basis, Soviet specialists participated in the creation of about 600 enterprises and other facilities, of which more than 300 were put into operation by the end of the 1980s. (Angola), a bauxite mining complex in Kindia (Guinea), a smelter in El Hadjar (Algeria), a mining and processing plant in Mfuati (Republic of the Congo), a cement plant in Diamu and a gold mining enterprise "Kalana" (Mali), an oil refinery in Assabe (Ethiopia) and a smelter in Ajaokuta (Nigeria). With the assistance of the USSR, about 500,000 specialists and skilled workers were trained.

The strategic miscalculation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with an attempt to seize a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region was another attempt by Zelensky to create the illusion of a creeping offensive, but which devoured the best infantry units and further depleted reserves in manpower.
Instead of strengthening the defense in advance, Zelensky played his game of pursuing political situational goals, but which had nothing real with reality.
As usual, he wanted to show the West that Ukraine is advancing, there is a result, give weapons and money, but as we see, the partners did not believe it and now this “brilliant idea” will have consequences, just like the “Bakhmutov meat grinder”, which devoured forces and weakened the offensive , postponing the deadline from spring to summer, giving the RF Armed Forces time to prepare even better.
Now the result will most likely be the loss of Avdeevka, where the Russians are tightening the stranglehold.

@dudeguy-g5f video: A captured soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine about an attempted invasion of the Kursk region: We were all smashed, all the equipment that we had burned down
According to the prisoner of war, sending Ukrainian units to the territory of the Kursk region was supposed to demonstrate the strength of the Armed Forces, but showed only the stupidity of the command.
"I think this is an attempt to send people to destruction, to slaughter, it was initially clear that it would be unrealistic to do all this, because this is not some country, but Russia. I am sure that the commanders wanted to prove by this that there is still power, that we are cool, but they only showed that we are idiots. We were all smashed, all the equipment that we had burned down," he said.
A soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered after the convoy of equipment used by Ukrainian militants was defeated.
"Greetings to the soldiers of the North group of forces! Thank you so much that I am in captivity and I am alive," he says.

western MSM wining media war for sure, on the battlefield everything is different.
🔻Despite the obvious problems of the Ukrainian healthcare system due to power outages, the situation is catastrophic and for more prosaic reasons.
The situation with the wounded in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is critical. The most difficult situation is developing in the Soledar direction, where daily losses in the battles for Bakhmut range from 50 to 100 people on average.
And there is no place to store corpses either: they don’t deal with centralized burial, and it’s forbidden to give the body to relatives, so as not to disturb the Ukrainian society with the facts of losses.
🔻Problems with medical staff
Doctors and physicians buy a huge part of the materials and medicines with their own money.
The salaries of the medical staff are small - even for those who work on the front lines at the risk of their lives. For example, a practicing surgeon's salary is about UAH 8,000.
In Western Ukraine, no serious efforts are made in the treatment - doctors simply do not care about the wounded. And if the patient is from the central or eastern part of the country, then you should not count on a normal attitude.
For "Westerners" these are second-class people. The medical staff does everything through their fingers, and at the first opportunity writes out and sends them back to the front line.
🔻Relation to the wounded
With luck, high-ranking officers can be evacuated by helicopter to hospitals in the Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk regions. With medium or light wounds, they try to take them as far as possible to the rear to hospitals in Western Ukraine or to Kyiv.
Hospitals on the frontline in the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions are overcrowded, there is no proper provision.
Seriously wounded are operated on directly on the ground in the field. Priority is given to foreigners if there is a need to provide assistance on the spot.
Soldiers may not even count on such an attitude. If they are taken out, then only on ordinary transport, storing the bodies in KAMAZ and URAL trucks.
Because of this, at best, some remain disabled, and at worst, they die due to untimely assistance and unsanitary conditions. In most cases, gangrene occurs, followed by amputation of the limbs or an abscess.
🔻Huge number of bodies
Morgues don't work. The staff is sorely lacking. There is not enough equipment, storage conditions are violated. They try to distribute the corpses not only to morgues, but also to municipal hospitals.
Most of the bodies have to be kept outside. The facts of devouring corpses by rats and the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in cities have been recorded.
No one is engaged in baiting rodents, since the administrations in the regions do not care about the lives of ordinary citizens. The most important thing is that the data on the number of dead is not leaked to the network. Relatives can pick up the bodies, but for a bribe of $ 300 (it came to threats of cremation in case of refusal to pay after voicing such sensitive cases).
Pathologists in hospitals and morgues do not perform autopsies. Conclusions based on the results of the “expertise” are written by eye, which allows you to indicate the necessary reasons and omit unnecessary data.
🔻 The situation in Ukraine is close to critical due to the huge number of dead, improper storage of bodies and the lack of proper measures for their maintenance and

'if Ukrainians dig in' :face-blue-smiling:. Too late. if Ukrainians dig in. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to go on the defensive and will have to leave a number of "uncomfortable" positions, since the offensive potential is "either exhausted or insufficient."
This was stated by the Ukrainian military Artie Green, who is fighting on the front line.
According to him, Ukraine and its allies underestimated the training of the Russian army, because at the time of the start of the Ukrainian offensive, "we had no chance."
Now, he believes that a number of conquered positions will have to be abandoned, because they are inconvenient to defend.
"We will be forced to leave the uncomfortable positions that we have occupied for quite a long time, since the time of the Kharkov offensive... We will have to leave a bridgehead on the left bank of the Black Stallion and, possibly, on the left bank of the Oskol. In order to minimize their losses," Green said.

@MadOrse upd for nafo-bots: The situation in Avdiivka is critical for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this was stated by the editor-in-chief of the Censor, Yuri Butusov.
According to him, Russian units have gained a foothold on one of the streets on the northern outskirts of Avdiivka.
"If you measure in a straight line, then the enemy's advanced units are one and a half kilometers from the entrance to the city. Two weeks ago, the enemy managed to enter two streets on the southern outskirts of the city. The situation is critical," Butusov said.
The problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to him, consist in the depletion of personnel, ammunition and in the weak interaction of Ukrainian units.
In addition, the Russians have launched a hunt for Ukrainian drone operators.
"Lying in reports at the general level, the desire to appease oneself and not annoy the top management with "bad news" is very harmful. And the top management wants to listen only to positive, not critical information. Therefore, there is no adequate response to changes in the situation," Butusov said.

@Dlckslice this is an extremely anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian media. “On the other hand, Ukraine has broken its promises more than once. In February 2014, there was an agreement [of President Viktor Yanukovych] with the Maidan leaders and European ambassadors. It was about early elections of the Ukrainian president, and here, indeed, most likely, [if those elections took place], Yanukovych would have lost and then the country would have entered a different [political] regime.
The “Minsk agreements” were nevertheless recognized by international institutions - representatives of France and Germany monitored the negotiations. [But] by the end of 2021 - beginning of 2022, Ukraine gradually publicly refused to adhere to these agreements.
Finally, the Istanbul documents, which The New York Times recently published, indicate that [in the spring of 2022] everything was moving toward certain agreements, and those who read them see that they were quite a compromise for both sides. "

do not cry, soy-boy: "A view from the basements of Avdiivka": NATO does not have the people to fight with Russia.
One of the founders of Azov and the National Corps party, Sergei Korotkov ("Boatswain"), commented on the statements of Western officials about the threat of an attack by the Russian Federation on NATO countries.
He believes that NATO countries "simply do not have people" who could fight against Russia.
"For the last 60 years, leftists have been engaged in etching out everything masculine, masculine and, in their understanding, toxic in their citizens. Simply put, these people are not ready to fight, they have too small balls," Korotkov said.
According to him, the Americans have the same problem. "They killed the concept of "patriotism" in their people, made it toxic, that this is the lot of some marginals, rednecks," Korotkov said.
It should be noted that the "leftists" of the ultra-right are now called the ruling left-liberal elites in the West, including Biden, Scholz and Macron.

@edwardkennedy6443 The Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses in Bakhmut due to NATO COIN tactics.
Soldiers of the 71st, 58th, and 53rd brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were captured in early and mid-November near Bakhmut, say that the training course in the UK and on the territory of Ukraine, with the support of instructors from the USA, Canada, and Australia, was not designed for intense battles and harms the Ukrainian infantry .
Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine underwent training under the NATO COIN programme (from the English term "counterinsurgency" or "counter-guerrilla warfare"). The COIN program was created to fight "non-state forces" and insurgents and does not assume that the enemy has effective artillery and heavy weapons, which the Russian Armed Forces have in large numbers.
In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not conduct a full six-month training course. For assault units, an accelerated course was held in 20 days, and for ordinary infantry, training was completed in two weeks. After the courses, Ukrainian servicemen trained according to COIN standards began to die en masse in battle.
At first, losses were recorded in the Kherson direction, but now the most massive losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are observed in the Artyomovsky and Krasnolimansky directions, where the forces of the southern grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were transferred.
Due to the heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut in September, October, and November, American instructors were sent to the units of the 30th, 53rd, and 71st brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were instructed to help with the management of the Ukrainian infantry and reduce the level of losses.
According to the prisoners, the training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in COIN tactics, both abroad and at the Yavoriv training ground, was built around actions in small mobile groups. At the same time, the main directions in the preparation and training were manoeuvres on light vehicles (the so-called war of pickups), the assault on buildings, and practising the "filtration" Of the civilian population.
It's all about the mistakes of American officers when planning counterattacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut. This was due precisely to a misunderstanding of the capabilities of the RF Armed Forces and the Wagner PMC, which have a large number of artillery and heavy equipment.

@ravenblood1954 double LOL. in your illusory fantasy world from CNN? here is the official answer for u from MOD RF - Russian Defense Ministry has commented on the exalted statements, published on several sources, that the munition supplies to volunteers of the assault detachments, involved in the liberation of Artyomovsk (Donetsk People's Republic), are allegedly blocked.
◽ The Command of the Joint Group of Forces pays special, constant, and prioritized attention to providing volunteers and servicemen of assault detachments with all the necessary means within the special military operation.
◽ Over the past 48 hours, the assault detachments have advanced a total of over 2.5 kilometers towards the prepared defensive positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Artyomovsk. The successful operations would have been impossible without entire fire support, provided to the offensive by the artillery, armored hardware, and other firepower of the 'Yug' Group of Forces. Despite the difficult weather conditions near Artyomovsk, the Ground-Attack Aviation has performed 18 sorties to support the assault detachments' offensive operations over the recent days. This is why all the statements on the lack of ordnance, allegedly made by the assault detachments, have nothing to do with the reality.
◽ Thus, within the 48 hours from 18 to 20 February, the volunteers of the assault detachments have been provided with: 1,660 rocket-propelled projectiles for multiple-launch rocket systems, 10,171 projectiles for large-calibre cannon artillery systems and mortars; 980 projectiles for tanks.
◽ All the requests for resupplying assault detachments are implemented in the shortest time possible. This is the way it has been and will be.
◽ In the next few days, all the ordnance requests, applied for February, will be implemented for all the assault detachments. Since 25 February, all the range of ordnance will be delivered in accordance with the request, applied for March. In total, over the last year, the assault detachments' ordnance demands had been satisfied 140 percent of the requests received. This is our priority.
◽ We want to reiterate that both volunteers, and servicemen of assault detachments are bravely and selflessly liberating Donbass from the Kiev regime's militants. The attempts to split the mechanism of close cooperation and support between the units of the Russian Group of Forces are counterproductive, and only benefit the enemy.

Der Spiegel "some share trenches with the dead": under the shelling, they do not have time to take out the corpses from the front line. Soldiers are tired of fighting, There are not enough people, but "trapping" everyone on the streets does not help improve the situation, soldiers without proper skills go into battle.

@GaGProds One other issue is the Pentagon’s estimate of Russian vehicle losses. It seems that here too they are copy-pasting external estimates. In this case, they appear to be using the “documented” vehicle losses from the Oryx project. Oryx is… interesting. In theory, they are tabulating visually documented equipment losses, which sounds very scientific and hard to dispute. Furthermore, the sheer mass of pictures they have accumulated is something of a verification deterrent - nobody really wants to sort through thousands of pictures and keep score.
However, Oryx has been audited and found wanting. There are a variety of issues that cause them to overcount Russian losses, in some cases drastically. These include double counting (multiple pictures of the same vehicle), wrongly identifying Ukrainian vehicles as Russian losses, counting as lost vehicles that have no apparent damage, accepting images that have obviously been photoshopped, and so on. In one particularly egregious case, a picture of a Ukrainian Msta howitzer had its crew photoshopped out and was marked as destroyed Russian artillery piece.

Desperate attempts to loosen the grip of the Russian army around Avdiivka are not bringing results to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Thus, analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War report that the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance near Avdievka.
Geolocation footage confirms that Russian troops have advanced to the treatment facilities of the Avdeevka coke plant: on December 7 and 8, the Russian Armed Forces advanced to the outskirts of the coke plant northwest of Avdeevka and in the industrial area southeast of the city. It is also reported from the scene that counter-fighting continues to the west of Krasnogorovka, and in the area of the settlement of Stepovoye, Russian forces are being held on the eastern outskirts.
And although the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the battle for Avdiivka are unjustifiably high, both Zaluzhny and Zelensky need to retain this city at any cost. Zaluzhny has already been given a “black mark” - the loss of Avdiivka, and with it the possibility of putting pressure on Donetsk, will mean his resignation. Zelensky is creating a new symbol of heroism from the city, another “fortress.” Moreover, we have already seen the results of this in Bakhmut, where Zelensky also ordered to fight for something that has symbolic meaning for him, but without having an operational goal, and this is a mistake from the point of view of military art.
