Military Forum for Russian and Global Defence Issues
...war, quoting our good ol' friend Carl von Clausewitz, is about "compelling the enemy to do our will." In order to do so, you destroy its armies and that means physical annihilation of enemy's war material economy and, yes, extermination of those military personnel who still want to fight.

Attack on Donbass: situation in eastern Ukraine
Russian troops hit concentrations of enemy manpower in Stukalovka, Shalygino, Esmani, Seredina-Budakh, Znob-Novgorodsky and Krasnopolye in the Sumy region, as well as in Mikhailinskaya Sloboda, Chernihiv region.Despite the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv direction, the enemy stepped up the work of artillery:
Ukrainian formations fired at Cossack Lopan, Udy, Sosnovka and Big Passages in the north of the Kharkiv region. In the Barvenkovsky direction, Izyum and Balakliya were subjected to massive shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.Ukrainian DRGs periodically enter the territory controlled by the RF Armed Forces. Enemy sniper groups are working not far from Oud.The RF Armed Forces carried out strikes on the deployment point of the national battalion "Kraken" in the Kievsky district of Kharkov.Russian artillery and aviation worked on targets in the area of Stary Saltov, Andreevka, Dolyna, Gusarovka, Slatino, Chuguev and Peremoga.The Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the capture of the village of Ozernoye on the northern bank of the Seversky Donets in the Slavyansko-Barvenkovsky direction. In fact, the sortie turned out to be a PR action: the enemy crossed the river in a small group and took a series of photographs in an empty village in the gray zone, after which they retreated to their original positions.There are no significant changes in the front line in the Bakhmut (Artemovsk) direction. In Soledar and Bakhmut, allied forces are engaged in positional battles on the outskirts.Clashes continue in Kodem: Wagner PMC assault squads are squeezing out the enemy on the western outskirts of the settlement.In the Donetsk direction, allied forces are fighting in the suburbs of the DPR capital.Ukrainian formations once again fired at the settlements of the Donetsk agglomeration, there are wounded and dead among civilians.Between Peski and Pervomaisky, units of the People's Militia of the DPR are fighting for strongholds on the Donetsk ring road.Allied forces are pushing the enemy back from the Mayorskaya railway station in the northwest of Gorlovka.In the Zaporozhye region, the parties are engaged in artillery duels along the entire line of contact. Russian artillerymen are striking at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Nikopol and Marganets on the northern bank of the Dnieper, from where the ZNPP is being shelled.In the Krivoy Rog direction, active battles for Vysokopole and Olgino continue. This morning, the Airborne Forces left Vysokopolye to avoid encirclement. At 16:00, Russian troops launched a counteroffensive and, according to preliminary information, managed to level the front line, returning the abandoned positionsGarryB, d_taddei2, Big_Gazza, starman and Broski like this post

This is something that USSR never figured out and it cost them everything

Everybody was looking for someone upon whom to lay the blame. They accused the Jews wholesale of espionage. They set upon people with German names. The staff of the Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaievich gave orders to shoot a colonel of the gendarmes, Myasoyedov, as a German spy, which he obviously was not. They arrested Sukhomlinov, the War Minister, an empty and slovenly man, accusing him – possibly not without foundation – of treason. The British Minister of Foreign Affairs, Grey, said to the president of the Russian Parliamentary Delegation: Your government is very bold if it dares in time of war indict its War Minister for treason. The staff and the Duma accused the court of Germanophilism. All of them together envied the Allies and hated them. The French command spared its army by putting in Russian soldiers. England warmed up slowly. In the drawing-rooms of Petrograd and the headquarters at the front they gently joked: “England has sworn to fight to the last drop of blood ... of the Russian soldier.” These jokes seeped down and reached the trenches. “Everything for the war!” said the ministers, deputies, generals, journalists. “Yes,” the soldier began to think in the trenches, “they are all ready to fight to the last drop ... of my blood.”
In the matter of military supplies and finances, Russia at war suddenly finds herself in slavish dependence upon her allies. This is merely a military expression of her general dependence upon advanced capitalist countries, but help from the Allies does not save the situation. The lack of munitions, the small number of factories for their production, the sparseness of railroad lines for their transportation, soon translated the backwardness of Russia into the familiar language of defeat – which served to remind the Russian national liberals that their ancestors had not accomplished the bourgeois revolution and that the descendants, therefore, owed a debt to history.
The first days of war were the first days of disgrace. After a series of partial catastrophes, in the spring of 1915 came the general retreat. The generals took out their own criminal incapacity on the peaceful population. Enormous tracts of land were violently laid waste. Clouds of human locusts were driven to the rear with whips. The external rout was completed with an internal one.
The Duma again assembled on November 1. The tension in the country had become unbearable. Decisive steps were expected of the Duma. It was necessary to do something, or at the very least say something. The Progressive Bloc found itself compelled to resort to parliamentary exposures. Counting over from the tribune the chief steps taken by the government, Miliukov asked after each one: “Was this stupidity or treason?” High notes were sounded also by other deputies. The government was almost without defenders. It answered in the usual way: the speeches of the Duma orators were forbidden publication. The speeches therefore circulated by the million. There was not a government department, not only in the rear but at the front, where the forbidden speeches were not transcribed – frequently with additions corresponding to the temperament of the transcriber. The reverberation of the debate of November 1 was such that terror seized the very authors of the arraignment.

Yeah, after these statements, Medinsky was branded a traitor, and since then he has not risked appearing in the public news space anymore. And the Kremlin is faced with such indignation of the people that in the future the policy of "compromise" with Ukraine may lead to a coup. So all such plans were abandoned, the country almost exploded with popular anger, and it is obvious that the political wing, eager for a truce with the West, has lost any influence.

No.
The "special operation" continues until the Kiev regime collapses and is swept into the shitter, and the collective West is forced to swallow a total defeat on all metrics.
The Red Army didn't stop at the Nazi border in 1945. The Russian Army can't stop at liberating Donbass. This fight is no longer about defending Russian-speakers from banderite Nazi filth. It is about Russia leading Eurasia and the Global South in a bid to kick out the legs of the Collective Wests corrupt global hegemony and usher in a fairer multipolar world where Washington and Brussels can no longer hold a knife at the throat of the rest of the planet and extort the nations of the World into submitting to the Empires will.

По линии фронта Николаевско-Криворожского направления в реальности находится от 5000 до 6000 солдат противника (без деревень). Наступал он через Ингулец общей численностью до двух БТГр. Бойцы спецназа заведомо выявившие планы противника по подготовке наступательных действий, начали запрашивать поддержку артиллерии, но артиллерия в лице «двестипьяной» просто молчала несколько часов. Авиация, скажете вы?! Про авиацию на этом направлении можете забыть, даже беспонтовые трюки с кабрированием здесь можно наблюдать чуть чаще, чем полнолуние. В итоге, как и писалось коллегой из «Канала специального назначения», бойцам ВДВ и ОБрСпН после попытки содержать наступления, не осталось ничего, кроме как отойти на подготовленные рубежи обороны, чтобы сохранить боеспособность подразделений. Но опять-таки, как и говорилось коллегой ранее, вышли не все. И эти павшие воины заслуживают вечную славу!
В итоге вся работа бойцов, к которым я отношусь с безмерным уважением, складывается не благодаря, а вопреки. Так, например, на северо-востоке Николаевско-Криворожского направления, в районе населённых пунктов Ольгино и Потёмкино была осуществлена удачная попытка тактического окружения роты десантников в Высокополье. Двое суток их пытались разблокировать, в том числе силами 126-ой (отличные парни). В итоге, дорогу на отход десанта удалось пробить и они отошли на юго-запад, ВСУ же заняло Высокополье (есть фото-видео подтверждение).
Когда ещё сам находился в районе вышеуказанных сёл, путём пересечения с бойцами ВДВ, узнал, что то самое соседнее Потёмкино, откуда наступали ВСУ, ранее было взято похожей тактикой, когда сначала наступали силы ТрО, изматывая и опустошая БК десантников, а потом пошли штурмовать силами добробата состоящего из белорусов, по словам участника, противника участвующего в заключительном штурме было порядка 70 человек. Не 700, как в можете заметить. Что касается этого участка, то считаю, что ВСУ предпримут попытку взятия Нововознесенского.
Что касается Каховского водохранилища: десанта под Энергодаром не было. Ни морским путём, ни воздушным. Хотя это и так уже многие поняли. Но в защиту версии нашей стороны об активности противника на Каховском водохранилище и широкой части устья реки Днепр, могу сказать, что там и вправду наблюдается неконтролируемое передвижение водным путём с одной стороны на другую. Этим занимаются как и барыги, которые переправляют людей взад-вперёд с одних подконтрольных территорий на другие, так и контрабандисты. Но также отмечены и случаи проникновения на подконтрольную нами сторону украинских ДРГ, форсирование происходит обычно ночью на необорудованный берег с использованием принимающей стороной ИК-фонаря.
Возвращаясь к прорыву, а именно к реке Ингулец, где ВСУ предприняли отчаянную попытку прорвать российскую оборону, но рискующие быть сами отрезанными и попавшими в окружение, всё-таки смогли закрепиться в ряде населённых пунктов и в данный момент ждут подхода сил через Ингулец.
По потерям могу сказать, что противник за эти дни потерял убитыми ~600 человек, порядка 25 танков, и около двух десятков бронемашин. В авиации противник понёс потерями по одной единице Су-25 и Ми-8.
Наши потери называть не буду, но можете по традиции войн делить на 5 и в целом не ошибётесь. Отдельно только стоит отметить, что ВСУ при неоднократном использовании РСЗО «HIMARS» всё-таки вывели из строя мост Каховской ГЭС (есть фото-видео подтверждение). Также то ли ДРГ, то ли «Байрактаром», а их сейчас работают на Херсонщине минимум две единицы, уничтожен ЗРК «Панцирь-С1» (есть фото-видео подтверждение). БПЛА противника взлетают с Криворожского района Днепропетровской области. Также, предположительно ракетой «HARM» запущенной с украинского МиГ-29 был уничтожен расчёт С-300.
В целом, ситуация не критичная, наши бойцы дают неплохой отпор, просто это не всё так красочно и легко, как рисует пропаганда. И ещё раз уважение всем тем, кто выполняют эти боевые задачи не благодаря, а вопреки всему!

I think he means good faith negotiations. Ukraine and it's American and Eurotrash puppeteers are nowhere near wanting to have meaningful negotiations. This war will last for another two to five years.

There other thing is, Russian soldiers are prohibited to speak about it unless they are commander or anyone with decision making priveleges. So this "Russian soldier" sounds always like cheap propaganda. Anyone who makes statements always appears with name and otchestvo.
