    KIEV (Sputnik) – The number of government troops deployed in the conflict zone in eastern Ukraine has reached 60,000 servicemen, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said Friday. "We have increased the number of our troops in the zone of special anti-terrorism operation to 60,000 servicemen," Poroshenko said in an interview with the Inter television. Poroshenko stressed that the Ukrainian authorities have made strong efforts to arm the units with new or repaired military equipment, to train the personnel in line with Western experience, and to improve logistics and financial support of Ukrainian soldiers.

    You see what I'm talking about. Under ceasefire, Maidan can train new soldiers many times faster than NAF can. Maidan has way more training ground and has western instructors. Meanwhile, NAF is forbidden from using training grounds in Russia and Russia does not train NAF. That's why I said Minsk benefits Maidan, not NAF.

    In Budyonovsky they say they can hear bombardment in the distance. In that part of Donetsk they should not be able to hear any bombardment unless it is heavy artillery, Pion, maybe Msta, in battery fire, and certainly not mere mortars. Also fighting reported north of Krasny Partizan. Another weekend of ukrops deadly trolling I guess...

    Donbass is much smaller than Syria. 60,000 soldiers is sufficient to keep Novorossiya from expanding.

    Even if the 60,000 number is accurate, which I highly doubt, how many of them are on the front? Not even 10%. Most soldiers are behind the front as part of supply lines or guarding. You recall, after Maidan lost only a few hundred soldiers they have to do another round of mobilization cheers

    Pions most likely. Only Pions have such a range. Pions have been seen moved to the front recently.

    I still think 5-6 weeks before war, but will not be surprised if it happens any day now and could even be the result of something unplanned, war is full of unexpected surprises.

    I agree, one can feel the building pressure, every day the bombardments are a little stronger, every day the attacks are a little stronger, every day more troops and weapons appear along the line on Ukrops side. Both Minsk agreements were simply to stop NAF from successful conclusions of ongoing battles and give ukrop a breather. It worked both times. When the attack does come, and it will come, it's going to be hard on our boys but I have no doubts the boys will prevail.

    And this is why best course of action for NAF is to dig in and wait, shelling be damned. Ukrops will have to go on the offensive because it is their only means of survival as a ideological entity. When they do attack it is NAF that will have advantage of defense and we know they achieved their greatest successes during counter offensives.
    They must continue to play to their strengths.  

    Like I said before, as long as Donbass stands Ukraine is stuck in limbo. More time passes, worse off they are and at the same time opposite is true for Russia. In the near future (if they keep current course and stay cool-headed) Russia will be completely financially independent. This will translate into huge geopolitical potential and give them freedom to influence events on the ground in a way that now simply is not possible.
    And by then Ukraine will be reduced to a decomposed carcase desperate for any way out.

    When that happens Russia will be able to get practically whole place for fraction of a political and monetary price that would have had to be payed now and that means we will have lot more than 2 people's republics in what is now Ukrane and most powerful of those will be DNR and LPR.

    Down the road, it is entirely possible that it is EU that will be stuck with paying the bill for this mess while Russia gets everything else... Twisted Evil
           
    --------------

    Also, we hear a lot about ukrops getting ready for offensive but any news on NAF preparations? Are they getting ready for what comes next? Any new gear? News on those TOS-1s? If we know what coming then they definitely know, hope they stay sharp because whole thing is about to go to hell in hand basket... attack

    No, they don't. Or at least Poroshenko and his government do not who have unofficially acknowledged that they cannot reconquer the Donbas.
    They are satisfied by low-level fighting which keeps the Ukrainians distracted.
    As long as the West supports them, they will continue with this strategy.

    Novorussian army have similar number of soldiers, so they are more or less equal. Also Ukrainian army already lost around 50.000 soldiers. If you exclude nazis, majority of ukrainian soldiers are mobilized by force with no will and moral to fight, while Novorussian army have very high will and moral to fight and defend themselves. Also they don't need Russian instructors, they have enough experienced and competent commanders and officers to train and lead their units.

    There is no need for victory. Kiev gets support because its a proxy against Russia.
    As long as Russia is perceived as a threat to European ambitions, Kiev will continue to receive support.
    Of course, whether it will be enough is another question.

    Considering Syria is holding its own after 4 years of brutal full scale war, I would say NAF currently poses no threat to Maidan. Casualty in Ukraine is very small compared to in Syria. NAF territory is very small compared to insurgent territory in Syria. NAF is not allowed to attack Maidan. Therefore, I see Maidan functioning as a blockade, make Russian people angry. Anger is bad for health.

    Yes Kiev will continue to receive support for war.

    And at the same time Ukrainians will experience huge economic growth, high living standards, large foreign investments, low emigration, excellent and affordable health-care, cheap education, high life expectancy, low crime-rates, cheap gas and electricity and other utilities, low unemployment, 6 digits income, social stability, non-existent corruption, personal, political  and media freedoms, etc, etc, etc.....

    It will be happy and satisfied population living Utopia that will make Norway look like Somalia, all payed for, in full, by all that surplus cash from highly united, increasingly stable and economically prosperous EU...    Razz
