Slava Ukraini!
It looks like another Yugoslavia is planned in place of Ukraine. A draft law on amendments to the Law on Ratification of the Treaty on Good Neighborly Relations and Cooperation between Romania and Ukraine has been submitted to the Senate of Romania. Romania wants to annex part of the territories of Ukraine, which it considers historically its own - this is, in a nutshell.
LOL, you really post this kind of stuff seriously? You're saying that Romania wants to annex part of Ukraine territory, when actually it's just one pro-Russian politician. She is only member of party in Senate, she is in opposition and her word doesn't have no weight. You can find such people in most of parlaments in Europe, but in most cases it's minority without power.
If you want to push agenda that Romania or Poland want to annex West of Ukraine, you have to try harder.

Where's that Ukrainian 'greatest counter-offensive' we've been hearing about?  Last week it was bad weather.  This week it's something about new gear and saving Bakhmut or some such.  'Excuses are like assholes', so they say.
...



Yes, no Ukrainian offensive is planned, do not worry. Just keep on throwing the official "truth" here and keep on attacking Bakhmut - it is very important for the RF to conquer another flattened town that is in the middle of nowhere and in artillery range from the other side of the river. You do not have to worry about the nearly state of the art nearly 100 main battle tanks coming from US and Europe and those few hundred IMFV. That is just for defence, so no offensive planned in the next few weeks.

Sleep well, read the Pravda, listen to Radio Moscow and keep drinking Stolichnaya.

A few days ago, Russia attacked a fuel storage facility in Novomoskovsk, Dnepropetrovsk region. All Geraniums, of course, were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense, but they burned for two days until they burned to the ground - despite all attempts to put out the fire. They say that $15 million worth of fuel was burned, prepared for the counteroffensive. Therefore, you are right, you can safely continue to drink vodka, Leopards will not go anywhere with empty tanks. Grin

Very honorable of them, martyring themselves for the US and Nato. The world will remember them... for a few short years. When you're dead, Russian soldiers can't kill you, and US/Nato countries can't let you die.

But why let your kids die for nothing. Oh, yes. Honor. Imaginary honor?

Cool

Ask Putin this question.

Earth to Russia: empires are out, and nation-states are in. Pay attention.


US to Earth: Empire is in, and nation-states are the stepping stones (starting with Ukraine, and moving to Russia, then China and the world). Pay attention.

In the mean time it looks like Avdiivka is in free-fall.  Maybe the vaunted hero's will be diverted there?  Looks like Rooskies drew the Ukes out of Avdiivka to Bakhmut and Ugladar respectively for months now, and it's time to let the hammer drop.  I know I'm a bad person for saying it, but I'm going to relish the fall of Avdiivka for the simple reason that the shelling of civilian areas in Donetsk, for no reason other than some fundamentalist 'it must be done', really pisses me off...and it is more than just it being my tax dollars which fund 155mm for the Nazis.  Finally, after over a year (or 8 years) of waiting, those poor fuckers in Donetsk might get a break.

(Always the cynic, I don't rule out that Russia was in no hurry to stop the shelling of Donetsk in part because it might help keep the new territories people motivated to fight.)

Maybe the Russians saved things up so they could encircle and capture as many perps as possible.  Avdiivka was where much of the AFU was staging for their ethnic cleansing campaign for years now.  That said, the swastika people are probably long gone now (to the rear and/or to the (((Collective West))) and the place is stuffed full of kidnapped slavic sausage meat just like Bakhmut was.  That's probably why the kroids are surrendering en-mass and allowing the place to be more than 'tactically' encircled at a rapid pace.

  https://www.bitchute.com/video/QopjmkbJrwK9/

On the staging thing, it looked to me as though the nazis held tight to the hope that they could do their ethnic cleansing of Eastern Ukraine anyway after Russia pulled the trigger first, and they left far to many people there for far to long.  That was one of the reasons for the rapid early results of the 'special military operation' in terms of area touched.  The other reason was that it was a rus to try to draw the Russians to far in.  As I predicted, the Russians didn't fall for it after their plan-A didn't work.  They stopped making forward movements when they clearly could have, and bailed quickly and cleanly at a time of their choosing.  That gave Ukraine a mock-victory where they simply re-entered area completely evacuated by the Russians.  The only sad part was that their secret police killed so many 'collaborators' in Kharkiv.  At least the Russians did better in Kherson.  The stay-behind spotters on the West side of the river are some brave motherfuckers, and my hat is off to them.

You seem just as confident now as you were almost exactly 1 year ago when you were defending the fact that the special military operation was still going on weeks later not because Russia was facing any setbacks, they just wanted to minimize civilian casualties is all...and don't worry, there will be a Parade in Kiev come May...
When it comes to the future, you always have to deal with probabilities, because, unlike the present, the future is not yet a fait accompli. The probabilistic nature of the future does not allow making predictions with 100% accuracy. When making my prediction regarding the victory parade in Kyiv, I proceeded from the assumption that Ukraine will soberly assess its capabilities in confrontation with Russia and will act in accordance with prudence and its own benefit. However, I was wrong in this assumption - Ukraine chose to get involved in a suicidal adventure, completely neglecting the instinct of self-preservation and acting to its own detriment. In all respects, it would have been wiser and more profitable for Ukraine to unconditionally capitulate a year ago.

Why would they capitulate? Everything points toward conclusion that they were preparing 8 years for this war, and never had intention to accept Minsk 2

I've never heard anyone in a real leadership position in Russia make much mention of the use of nuclear weapons at all,

I'm somewhat surprised that neither Russian State media or any of your conspiracy youtubers have discussed the nuclear threats Medvedev has made.  He does it all the time.
Nobody here in Russia takes Medvedev seriously. It seems that after the death of Zhirinovsky, he occupied the niche of an outrageous freak in the political arena. In short, an ordinary clown like Zelensky.
Oh, the mythical counteroffensive... sure, keep your eyes on Bahkmut, no need to notice the 40 thousand motorised troops being massed in the Zaporilla area. Do not look there, nothing is going to happen in the next 3 weeks. Nothing at all.  An the explosions in Sebastopol were again, RF soldiers smoking by the gas barrels. There is no resistance and no partisans in the zone. Nothing happening.
Of course, there will be an attempt at a counteroffensive from Ukraine, otherwise why these deliveries of tanks and training courses for soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the West. I called it mythical because the chances of success are close to zero.

No no... all Leopards, Challengers, Bradleys and Abrams have been destroyed by precision rockets. No offensive action is planned. Just stick to Bakhmut, keet your artillery there, keep using your ammo there and risking the SUs.

As you say, there is nothing to fear because the chance of success are so low... in fact, just remove the troops from there and send them to help in Bakhmut. It is much more important than keeping the land bridge to Crimea. As Branko says, it is all part of the plan.

I do not know, but I am still buying tanks in good condition. 100 USD per unit, 60 USD if they are Armata because they do not really work, delivered to the Polish border please.  I also keen on SPGs like the one there, but without the rust.

If the APU is a rabbit, then why didn't the tiger eat it a week ago? Any questions. I don't think it's because the rabbit got a vegan tiger. Maybe the Russian tiger is weakened by some unknown disease?
The active part of the operation is designed for at least three weeks, do not forget that Ukraine is the largest country in Europe, after Russia. Then, for several more months, it will be necessary to clear the area from gangs with rich historical traditions of Bandera. Do not confuse the desire to minimize civilian casualties with weakness.

In Kyiv on May 9 2022, a traditional parade will be held in honor of the victory of the USSR over Nazi Germany. It is naive and foolish to doubt it.

Well, if not in Kyiv then maybe in the suburbs of Chornobaivka. The equipment might need some polishing before it's parade-ready.
In winter, military exercises took place on Russian territory near the border with Ukraine, in which two groups participated - Z and V (west and east). Now a group of Z is involved in the operation. And where is the second group V? Probably in operational reserve, polishing uniforms for the parade, but this is not certain.  Smiley





By the way, did you hear there actually was a victory day parade in Kiev over the summer?

Here's the reason why US troops or Nato troops will need to be brought into the war, if it is to continue. If this happens, it will be interesting to see if Russia follows up on its promises for nuclear war.
...

I've never heard anyone in a real leadership position in Russia make much mention of the use of nuclear weapons at all, let alone any 'promises'.  It goes without saying that any nuclear armed country reserves the right, and probably has plans to, use nuclear weapons if there is an existential threat.  So the non-crazies in Russia are not in the habit of saying it.  Of course the Russians have their contingent of crazies in their political classes who will say (and may well do) any damn thing.  Unlike in the U.S., these types don't really seem to get a hold of any real levers of power.  Yet.  Thank God.

On the other hand, you cannot turn around without bumping into someone who 'knows' that Putin is a maniac who is minutes away from pushing the button.  And since it is said so often (in the echo chamber) most people believe that they have in fact heard it straight from the horse's mouth too!

Russia seems to have planned to straight-out win in a conventional way any altercation they cannot avoid, and their plans seem very sound so far and it looks like they could handily beat NATO so long as they stick to their game.  A lot of the things have gone better than they probably hoped for (foreign relations and trade in particular.)  The Collective West is in panic mode for want of decent analysis and planning, and they really don't know whether to shit or go blind at the moment.  That (and pretty much that alone) is what is causing a fair amount of risk to the planet at this time.

WashPost: Experienced Ukrainian Soldiers 'Are All Already Dead or Wounded'



https://www.informationliberation.com/?id=63645
From The Washington Post, "Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow":

DNIPROPETROVSK REGION, Ukraine — The quality of Ukraine's military force, once considered a substantial advantage over Russia, has been degraded by a year of casualties that have taken many of the most experienced fighters off the battlefield, leading some Ukrainian officials to question Kyiv's readiness to mount a much-anticipated spring offensive.

U.S. and European officials have estimated that as many as 120,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded since the start of Russia's invasion early last year, compared with about 200,000 on the Russian side, which has a much larger military and roughly triple the population from which to draw conscripts. Ukraine keeps its running casualty numbers secret, even from its staunchest Western supporters.

I think Russia has no reason to take Bakhmut...why chase enemy when other side is readily bringing new soldiers for
easy kill

Have you taken a look at the map? What can you see in the vicinity of Bakhmut? Elevated positions with cover of rocks, trees, hills, river banks? Do you see anything in there that looks like a good attacking position? No, you do not, it is exactly the opposite - You will see a nightmare for the attacker, were they are detected klicks away from the defending positions. Would you like to be the attacker there Branko?

Can't people just google before saying something silly?

The only reason to attack it is because it is the Donbas and the RF needs to take the Donbas to be able to sell some short of "victory" to the world. Wagnerites are expendable, people from Dagestan and other satellites of Moscow are spendable.

As I write this post, I am looking at the videos of Ukrainians training in Leopards. They seem veeeery pleased.
Geographically, Bakhmut is located in a lowland, and all the dominant heights around the city have long been controlled by Wagner. I don’t know what political and image dividends Ukraine is trying to extract by continuing to hold the city, but from a purely military point of view, this is madness, comparable to exchanging a bishop for a pawn in a chess game. The sacrifice may be justified if you have a sharp attacking combination play, but now it looks like a rather pathetic attempt to just buy some time to prepare for the mythical counter-offensive to Melitopol to cut the land corridor to the Crimea. It seems that this is the ultimate dream of Ukrainian military strategists.

Oh, the mythical counteroffensive... sure, keep your eyes on Bahkmut, no need to notice the 40 thousand motorised troops being massed in the Zaporilla area. Do not look there, nothing is going to happen in the next 3 weeks. Nothing at all.  An the explosions in Sebastopol were again, RF soldiers smoking by the gas barrels. There is no resistance and no partisans in the zone. Nothing happening.
