I am surprised indeed with this move. Either that hunger strike affected her brain or that FSB brainwashing was successful beyond all expectations.

Either way she is taking massive risk. Only reason she is still alive is potential media backlash.

I do wonder where all this comes from?

As for Givi and Motorola my guess is that it is result of their very visible status. Neither was taking precautions and were always ''out there'' which made them easy targets.

Ukrainians can't accomplish anything militarily so these assassinations are consolation prizes, something to show to public in order to deflect from constant defeats.

i believe she is a Ukrainian patriot, and she realises know the more Ukraine attacks Donbass and it's leaders the likelihood of Donbass returning to Ukraine becomes impossible ... this is where her frustration comes from

On a side note, Givi, like Motorola weren't hiding or protecting themselves. They were nobodies going through the ranks and rising through conflict. They had no protection, no backers to hold their hand. The moor did his job, the Moor can go indeed.

Don't forget, this is a civil war, it was bound to turn this way, sooner or later. It's sad, but for people like Moto and Givi who didn't want more than the basic honor of their deeds, there was no future in whatever becomes of the Donbass this year. IMO they both should have moved to Russia and be done with. They chose to stay on their little mound and pretend everyone was friend and unicorn stuff.

Sad.

Your right on. I think Givi was killed by some on the inside and not on the orders of Ukriane or NATO. They really don't have much to gain from this. This come from the Kremlin or someone high in Donbass. I just wish Mozgovoy, Motorola and Givi, just returned to Russia and served in the Russian Armed Forces because the war in Donbass has just gotten very dirty.

RIP GIVI.

This is a non-sense. Both comments.

Now we have to eat that:

- Or pro-Russian forces have more interest in killing the pro-Russian commanders than Ukraine and other pro-West forces.
- Or pro-Russian forces go easier to kill their own leaders and play dirtier than Ukraine and other pro-West forces, despite to have less interest in their death.

Thank you. 1/4 of a mile.

The Media is now saying Givi shot himself in the foot so that he could go back to his base and co ordinate an artillery barrage at his old position and he was killed by one of his own men for cowardice

http://www.newsru.com/world/09feb2017/givi.html


So let me get this straight This is the same Givi who became famous after a video of shells landing nearby him and him not giving a ****, who we have numerous videos of on the net from all over some of the hottest areas on the front lines with his guys, who was one of the most experienced commanders fighting for the NAF since the beginning, all of a sudden: got cold feed, shot himself in the foot, ran away, and had his troopss shelled. Also, the source is Novoya Gazeta.


I mean, yeah, this sounds totally legit meh a load of bullshit someone is trying to besmirch his good name

Not unheard of, many early wartime heroes of the 90s prefered spending their later wartime service far from the frontlines, preferably in very deep cellar. You never know.

However its media after all, bombshell headlines are bringing money.

I have read on another forum that this whole story about his very recent cowardice is a fabrication.


Do not blindly believe everything.


Four of the top half a dozen most famous New Russian commanders and leaders have now been assassinated - "Batman", Mozgovoy, "Motorola", and now "Givi" - and you want me to believe they were all cowards?

This is nonsense and disinformation spread by the Ukrainian special services.


I think Basurin and Zaharczenko are the only ones left, and Strelkov, if you want also to count him, albeit he was a volunteer from Russia and not a native of the New Russia.


You can thank Putin for that, and his ruling clique, and their Minsk 2 bull-shit.

KomissarBojanchev wrote:I'm starting to think that this is a conspiracy to kill all anticapitalist leaders in the DPR and replace them with oligarch and tsarist scum. United Russia, being free marketeer, conservative, and Oligarchs may have a role in these murders. How come haven't corrupt swine like Plotnitsky and  tsarist bootlickers like Strelkov  never been killed? Its always socialists.

First of all Bulgaronorthkorean dyck, Strelkov was not a Tsarist bootlicker, and he probably is still alive because he permanently moved to Russia.

Strelkov explicitly mentioned that Putin betrayed the whole New Russia Project.

And it is Putin who is strangely pro-Czarist and pro-German.

the story has changed since i posted ... the NG now realise they were duped

With those sights and actual flight pattern, 200m is already pushing.

My understanding is that they are reasonably accurate as long as there is no heavy crosswind and the person using it is familiar with firing them.

200m = hitting window/specific room of building.

600m = getting the building.

1,000m is ballistic range where the only thing you will likely hit is the ground.

After those attacks on Motorola and Givi, I wonder if general-major Igor Bezler is still in Novorussian army or not. He was also well known with his defense of Gorlovka town.

Ukrainian TV: The Russian economy is almost in tatters, should be slightly doterpet
February 11, 2017

"Russian troops" will this year have to leave the Donbass, and the Ukrainian army will go there without fighting. This was on Ukrainian TV channel NewsOne said adviser "minister temporarily occupied territories," Yuri Grymchak .

"Our society is not ready to lay down their arms. If we analyze the overall situation, they can not keep the territories and will be forced to withdraw troops from there. Because Russia's economic and financial condition will not allow this situation to keep. Therefore, we must stop talking about the fact that Ukraine should fulfill the conditions of the Russian Federation, to give up, and there will be peace. Peace will come, but later and on terms that are now defending Ukraine ", - said Grymchak.

This is the conclusion he came to, after analyzing the report of the Central Bank of Russia.

"If you read it, the amount of foreign currency loans increased much more than exchange earnings. In fact, resistance Russian financial system twice exceeds the threshold. There's still a lot of things. If we analyze the entire array of information, it can be concluded that the very people rush dodavit Ukraine, so we accepted the terms that are disadvantageous for us ", - said Grymchak.

Man you have got to love those Nazis!
