Russian special military operation in Ukraine #3

The closing of the Straits is a good anti-NATO tactic from Turkey.

It wont effect Russia's militairy operations against Ukraine because the Russian Black Sea Fleet is ALREADY in the Black Sea.

But NATO ships (US, UK, France etc) would DEFINITELY not enter the Black Sea now.

Very good decision that benefits Russia.

And if Russia need something from the Latakia Port, they can just fly over Turkey to bring it to Crimea. Because Turkey doesnt apply with the anti-Russian sanctions.

Liberated population points in Lugansk.

4) The first of 16,000 foreign volunteers are ready to defend Ukraine, said the President of Ukraine. Earlier, The Minister for Foreign Affairs Kuleba said that the volunteers came from 16 countries, including Great Britain, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Israel and others

Im sure the odds are in the favour of these brave volunteers that base their millitary knowledge on Call of Duty and Battlefield.
"Oh i can finally fight russians!. just like in the games!".

not to mentioned they swallowed their entire lives NATO propaganda how russians only use rusted old crap. and are untrained and unmotivated?.

....What could go wrong facing against an trained army?.

Russia must block the western parts of Ukraine and stop the weapon deliveries otherwise you are fighting like Don Quichot against the windmills.

Also good idea to send Wagner and the Chechens of Kadirov to the street battles.

I wonder if they think they can call in an airstrike after a kill streak?

All western mercenaries who arrive will not have the status of prisoners of war...

Perhaps NATO have learnt something from the "little green men" that helped Donbas back in 2014.

Except nato is incompetent.

Situation near Kruvvy Rog

Russians approach the city




The odessa landing group is arriving , in concert with the grouping of forces west of Nikolayev



Kiev progress since the 28th of February, Russia has one last corridor open to the south

Update later will show kiev is most likely closed



Capture of Kharkov is confirmed, Russians knocked the city down and continue now pursuing nationalists towards Poltava, though nationalists will most likely join the 12 trapped brigades of VSU in donetsk

With Odessa landings, encirclement of Kiev, kruvvy Rog , sealing of donetsk cauldron, and expansion towards Zakarpatiya , the war transitions from demilitarization to denazification with Uran 9 probably roving cities and engaging nazis

What? Those polite people were the Russian soldiers stationed in Crimea under treaty. They were not invaders and certainly
not mercenaries.

Kharkov is still contested

Had a garrison of 10,000 before the war.

They still hold most of the districts of the city. There have been some strikes against neo-Nazi gathering buildings.
But civilians are suffering too, there have been some houses and apartment blocs hit as well. In Zhitomyr too.

Denazification operations in cities will resemble anti terror ops in Dagestan

Heavy FSB spetsnaz with flamethrower , nerekhta, Uran 9, Lancet, Orlan, and Bmps encircling buildings with nazis, using bulletproof shields, Bizon pp19, as val , and other such weapons for anti terror /denazification

They will use special forces and robots to take the cities with overhead drone support

Its Dagestan 2.0

Pretty clever, I agree, as well as avoiding sanctions.

What's Erdogan's angle in all this?

I thought he closed ranks with NATO as soon as Russian troops started gathering at the border.
There were reports of the US suddenly disfavoring Greece's pipeline project, looking into F-35 sales to Turkey again, the EU putting membership on the table again for Tukrey, and a bunch of other things.

What's interesting is that Iran, Iraq and Syria are all not voting against Russia at the UN. Wouldn't have expected that from Iraq, but then I guess its mostly controlled by Iran by now.

I suspect what Russia will try to do is start fielding anti-fascist forces in the parts of the Ukraine it has occupied, from among the local population.

Yes but they are hiding mainly, the main object is to identify there they are and contain them until major denazification can begin

Russia has units in Kharkov and can control the situation 

Right now the ops east of Nikolayev, encirclement of Kiev, also of Kruvvy Rog take precedence over the denazification ops

As MOD said we are beginning to TRANSITION from demilitarization to denazification 

Still some ops left here and there , but the window is closing


Also I am looking forward to seeing naval infantry land in odessa, the Ropucha landing ships and Ivan Gren ships will show their worth

Ka52 also will work on enemies, seize the port and the guys from 58th and 22nd turning west towards Odessa need to keep the pace

It's a Naval infantry vs VDV vs Ground Forces race right now to Odessa

1) Panama-registered Estonia-owned general cargo vessel HELT imo:8402589 has sunk in Black Sea near Odesa after allegedly hit by seamine. 2 crewmembers rescued. 4 unaccounted

2) Verkhovna Rada today imposed life imprisonment for looting, sabotage, treason, approved the nationalization of Russian property and approved Zelensky's decree on mobilization

Good RT footage of Russian troops in Ukraine Kiev area, also using pontoon bridges, and pallets of NLAW captured. Just shows Ukrainian forces blowing bridges up didn't stop advancement

Nazis are threatening hostages at 34th school in mariupol

They're goin beslan here , maybe such ops must speed up

As in denazification

they are going to kill poor people and blame it on Russia....i hope they turn those nazi idiots into dust

The nazis who kill hostages should be taken alive and prosecuted in LDNR court

They should be worked in construction, and rebuilding

Then they should do a long prison time. Suddenly one day, they will be taken out back and disposed of.

They are criminals with charges of genocide, since LDNR is not Council of Europe, the death penalty will suit them after hard labor, and prison sentence

It seems PMC have begun entering Ukraine, the conflict could take on a different scale

VKS will be needed and also stronger AD

But committed involvement of the VKS

AD functions should organize themselves and get ready for potential mercenary aircraft in the region flying under an unknown flag

A few pages back it was mentioned that Zelensky would most likely flee the Ukraine and continue to act as President in absentia, just as Guaido tried to do to Venezuela. Would there be any way for Russia to counter that without resorting to splitting Ukraine into several new territories?

The Ukraine won't be split, at least not by Russia

But even in the scenario of maximum Russian military success, the western half of the country won't come under its control, there will probably be a new Ukrainian govt. declared in Lvov if the one in Kiev falls.
