Russian special military operation in Ukraine #51

Watch to the end. She should have stopped before nature told her to.



This is a really bad storm in the Black Sea

The embankment of Andrew the First-Called in Sevastopol. The hurricane swept away everything except the monument to the Apostle.

No way is this generation going to be unbrainwashed.

The Azov epigone of the SS Galizien has been training the youth of Ukraine in Nazism for 10 years, following the example of Hitler-Jugent.

Today, these Azov-Jugend youth constitute the most fanatical barrier forces shooting at retreating soldiers

On the Situation in #Avdeyevka Sector

1. We had success in the industrial zone (Promka - industrial zone of the colony), which is to the right of the well-known AFU checkpoint No. 1 on the Ring Road towards #Yasinovataya. Well done, we took a serious fortification, from where a lot of things flew at #Donetsk.

2. If we take the Coke Plant, we can send warm greetings to #Avdeyevka. To keep people there for the APU would simply mean killing personnel. But they do not care about. The enemy did the same in #Bakhmut, sending people to slaughter in packs. By the way, they had a 50,000 strong group there, and Wagner with 25-30 thousand fighters worked against them.

3. Basic military truth: if you find yourself in a semicircle, take the people away. No, they clung to the “#Bakhmut fortress”, now - to the “#Avdeyevka fortress”. Idiocy! When you lose serious fortifications, you need to retreat, straightening the line.

4. Do not run ahead of the locomotive. The enemy is still clinging to the Coke Plant and wants to fight for it, and we have made only two serious steps so far to master the #Avdeyevka fortification:

(a) In the first days of the offensive we caught hold of #Berdychi and passed a little to the right, which was very good. From the other flank took "Tsarskaya Okhota", but we were knocked out of there. The same thing, we had to leave #Berdychi. The success of the first days could not be consolidated and developed.

b) Promka - the second step. There is already a trench + dump (#Slagheap) - the dominant height above Coke Plant and most of #Avdeyevka. Now it is difficult to get the artillery to the dump, and there are "eyes", and the enemy at Coke is fierce.

5. After taking the Coke Plant, they have to leave #Avdeyevka. The next step is to close the ring and crimp it.

6. It is difficult with #Avdeyevka, because the fortifications and underground communications of the enemy were built by Kiev Metro Construction. If we knock the AFU out of there, it will be the most serious success for the time of the SMO after #Mariupol. There is no population left in #Avdeyevka. There are maybe a thousand grandmothers for a 30,000-strong town.

7. After taking #Avdeyevka up to #Kramatorsk, the enemy has virtually no serious fortifications. In the #Slavyansk - #Kramatorsk agglomeration there is a defence line with an airfield, headquarters, bunkers, built since 2014. But up to #Kramatorsk from #Avdeyevka there are no serious Ukrops with underground passages so that they can settle in.

Import of luxury cars to 404 tenfolded in 2023, with echelons full of both brand new&Jahreswagen luxury SUVs being driven across Poland in lorries long as a fukin' train.
They have imported an insane number of cars for a whole period of war, as import taxes for cars were nulled, only till some 6 months ago those were old, used cars for private importers.
Of course because they have imported them for army
Most of the border traffic jams were because of private car import.
This is again something that jumps out of the box, if someone won't witness that.
How is that even possible, that a country on the edge of collapsing, lacking half of it's population, carrying a devastating war of attraction they are losing heavily - puts so much effort for importing used cars.
And it can be cleared only when someone will know some Ukrainians. Not Russkie who are unfortunate living there, but the true Khokhols.

No winter tyres one suspects on the new vehicles doesn't help in this weather.

The country may be on the edge of collapsing but there are many there desperate to spend their share of the flood of US$ pouring into Kiev.

No way is this generation going to be unbrainwashed.

Bullet through the head. No brain, no brainwashing.

The next step is to close the ring

Meatgrinder only works if it has an opening.

it will be the most serious success for the time of the SMO

Biggest success is the killing of 600.000+ enemy fighters.

because the fortifications and underground communications of the enemy were built by Kiev Metro Construction.

Most fortified area was the south-eastern part which has already been taken by the Russian Forces.

Avdeevka won't be closed

Too many casualties fighting in the open ground

Mediazona revised casualty figures for October when the terrikon was taken, and although they aren't catastrophic,  they were higher and resulted from troops getting hit by drones and artillery in the open

It's better to forget closing the pincers, and just assault Avdeevka like so:



This is the most sensible as the urban environment at least allows the attackers to have cover, and also just drop artillery directly on the Ukrainians instead of cutting off the MSR

Wagner lost many troops attempting it in Bakhmut, and MOD it seems has opted for a direct assault now

Which means Hole is right,  they took the southeastern part,  so they're just going into Avdeevka itself

They also went into the coke plant it seems in the north east it seems, but more confirmation is needed

Anyway no rush on this, as the major offensive won't start until Putins re-election

The Ukrainians won't be able to launch an offensives from here on out anyway, they will just go into defense with every woman, child, and cripple left

Zelensky’s Hidden Luxuries: Proxies, Yachts, and the $75M Scandal Rocking Ukraine

In the heart of Eastern Europe, where the tumult of war clashes with the allure of Western support, a seismic scandal unfolds, casting a long shadow over Ukraine’s leadership. President Volodymyr Zelensky, once seen as a beacon of hope against corruption, is now ensnared in a scandal involving the alleged purchase of two luxury yachts, “Lucky Me” and “My Legacy,” worth a combined $75 million. This lavish expenditure, facilitated in the opulent settings of Abu Dhabi and Antibes, starkly contrasts with Ukraine’s dire war reality and raises damning questions about the integrity and criminal liability of its leadership amidst heavy reliance on Western aid.

Exclusive interview with a fighter from the Wagner PMC, a participant in the Bakhmut Operation Gostom, Yunger

What is the complexity of the “Bakhmut meat grinder”, why are journalists inflating problems about the participation of former prisoners in a special military operation, about youth policy in Russia and plans for the future.

“They prepared for eight years. I don’t even mention Western weapons and NATO food products. All intersections of forest belts, roads, hills, thickets and banks of reservoirs are equipped for defense, dug with trenches, fortified with logs, stuffed with weapons and soldiers.

All this is covered by artillery and mortars from the city outskirts. Tanks are hiding in the city and there are reserves. There is no shortage of anything. But we managed to knock them out of their previously fortified and prepared positions in the fields. And drive it into the city. In street battles, where the enemy no longer had a chance.”

It's tough to wrap one's head around this, it took me a while to understand, then I saw the maps with the defenses, and I understood, this defensive system is unlike anything built before

Thats why those who suggest that if supply routes were cutoff, everything would be simple,  are wrong

You can't cutoff supply routes with such a vast country

You can interrupt, and disrupt logistics, but there's no way, and you'd take losses doing so as Bakhmut and Avdeevka show

It's better to just assault the system, and dismantle it

Once it's gone, that's it - they don't have 10 years to prepare another donbass

This is it

Ukraine has never made a tactical withdrawal, every time they lose territory it is because their local troops were massacred and the new batch of cannon fodder did not arrive in time to take their positions in the meat grinder.

@Suriyakmaps
Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 642:
Situation on Avdivka front: From the northern axis #UkrainianArmy launched a counterattack and reentered in some parts of Stepove/Степове forcing Russian troops to withdrew to the railway.
Meanwhile, from the southern axis #RussianArmy took full control over Vinogradniki dachas following Ukrainian withdrawal reaching the quarry at the outskirts of the city.

It's crystal clear now!  

It would be a good thing if some people here would sometimes take a look at pro-ukraine telegram channels to see that there are massive casualties on both sides. No way Russia can also maintain that high rate of manpower loss, somethings gotta give.

Ukraine in EU and NATO will eventually happen, might as well sue for peace now.

Hahaha...yes, while Russia still has a chance it should surrender...

That would make all the losses and damage worth while to surrender just before your enemy collapses.

By your logic Stalin should have surrendered to Hitler when Soviet troops started entering Berlin...

Trying to the end...

But reality is that a ceasefire or peace agreement with the EU or US or Kiev is worthless, they already had two Minsk agreements and an agreement to stop the war which the west pissed all over and openly admitted that the Minsk agreements were a delaying tactic to build up Kievs forces so they could take what they wanted by force later on.

Why would any new agreement be any different.

Russia needs to break HATO and Kiev can only give an unconditional surrender or the war continues for as long as it takes.

This conflict will end with likely large areas of Ukraine joining the Russian federation and the remaining area in the west will become a neutral country that will never join the EU or HATO and will have Russian troops manning their border with EU countries to ensure there is no cheating this time.

This would be much better than what Kiev would have offered the Donbass and Lugansk regions... at least these Ukrainian regions can speak Ukrainian if they want... Russia wont tell them what languages they can or cannot use.

Russia also needs to discuss seriously with HATO about future security with Europe, because right now the EU and HATO thinks it can do anything it pleases and is ignoring that it is destroying its own economy to try to damage Russia... the first half is working but the second half is not.

Russia is not going to cooperate with the west... there will be something along the lines of a non aggression pact and I suspect Russia will start cutting ties with the west including shutting down all their embassies etc, and cutting cultural ties with the west which the west uses to try to infiltrate Russian society to do harm... Russian diplomats have a whole world to talk to and should waste time on Europe till it learns some respect and grows up.
