DPR slams UN’s statements that it cannot identify those who shelled Donetsk as lies

It was stressed that the authors of such statements have not visited Donbass since 2014

I studied a LOT about Iran/Contra, even knew 3 CIA coke pilots personally back in the '80's, and everything Gary Webb wrote was true. He didn't kill himself, he was a genuine Hero and a true American Patriot, and he was murdered for it.

One important thing Iran/Contra PROVED to any and EVERY intelligent American, that is still 100% true to this day - EVERY Republican is equally as big a piece of shit as EVERY Democrat. End of the fucking story. R.I.P. Gary Webb, some of us remember, some of us continue on the work. Davai, Bratan.

Eighteen Years Ago Today, Journalist Gary Webb Was Murdered After Exposing CIA Drug Trafficking - CovertAction Magazine

On December 10, 2004, the body of journalist Gary Webb, 49, was discovered in his home near Sacramento after a moving company worker found a note posted to his front door that read: “Please do not enter. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance.” Webb’s death was listed as a suicide, but Webb was found..."

Western darkness is a great lie and a great devastation, everything that it reaches out to turns into a haze and a desert. Only the Russian army, led by the Archangel Michael, will bring them retribution for their sins.

SHORT SUMMARY -

From Oleg Tsarev today -

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine dealt a blow to the central market of the city of Alyoshka in the Kherson region. Also another blow to the residential areas of Donetsk. This week is called the peak in terms of the number of dead civilians in Donetsk: 80 Russians were killed and over 300 were injured. There is an understanding that, for example, they are being attacked in the districts of Donetsk from the settlement. Thin. Of course, I am not a military specialist, but why is counter-battery work not being carried out? If for objective reasons it is impossible to destroy the source of shelling, then maybe it's time to evacuate civilians from Donetsk? Give, as Kherson residents, certificates and resettle. Russia is big, there will definitely be enough space.

Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued shelling the area of the Zaporizhzhya NPP and Energodar - more than 10 shells fell on the coastline. They come from the area of Nikopol and Marganets. Actually, the continuation of shelling of the ZNPP zone was a matter of time. I think that even the "security zone" agreed with the IAEA will not calm Ukraine down...

The Prime Minister of Ukraine said that 40% of high-voltage network facilities were damaged in the country, as well as all thermal and hydroelectric power plants were damaged. Here Russia approached systematically: methodically finishing off what was left unfinished in previous visits or quickly restored. I read with bewilderment that Azerbaijan sent 45 power transformers and 50 generators to Ukraine, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported. I wonder what our Foreign Ministry will answer..."

Фронтовая сводка 10 декабря:

На фронте, в целом, без перемен.

Артиллерийский огонь ведётся по Марьинке, Красногоровке, Авдеевке и Клещеевке. Под Артемовском наши уперлись в позиции ВСУ на окраинах города, тоже без продвижений. А чтобы штурмовать Артемовск, нужно, как полагают, занять Опытное. Но после успехов начала недели пока видим относительное затишье.

В ЛНР идут бои за Новоселовское (это на трассе между Сватово и Купянском). Значимая часть поселка за российскими подразделениями.

Пишут, что наши занимают находящийся в «серой зоне» Большой Потемкинский остров, который расположен прямо около самого Херсона и вроде как контролирует устье Днепра. Целью объявлена защита Голой Пристани. Сообщается, что это стратегически важный остров. Голую Пристань, как я помню, эвакуировали в начале ноября. А если это так, то зачем нам ещё один Змеиный?

На Запорожском направлении наша артиллерия ночью накрыла опорные пункты и живую силу противника. Это направление продолжает считаться самым вероятным для наступления ВСУ, там концентрируют резервы.

ВСУ нанесли удар по центральному рынку города Алёшки в Херсонской области. Также очередной удар по жилым кварталам Донецка. Эту неделю называют пиковой по количеству погибших мирных жителей Донецка: убито 80 россиян и свыше 300 ранено. Есть понимание, что, например, по районам Донецка бьют из н.п. Тоненькое. Я, конечно, не военный специалист, но почему не ведётся контрбатарейная работа? Если по объективным причинам невозможно уничтожить источник обстрела, то, может, пора эвакуировать мирных жителей из Донецка? Давать, как херсонцам, сертификаты и расселять. Россия большая, места точно хватит.

ВСУ сегодня продолжили обстрелы района Запорожской АЭС и Энергодара — более 10 снарядов упали на береговой линии. Бьют из района Никополя и Марганца. Собственно, продолжение обстрелов зоны ЗАЭС было вопросом времени. Думаю, что даже согласованная с МАГАТЭ «зона безопасности» не угомонит Украину.

Ночные удары "Гераней" в Одесской области дополнили повреждения энергообъектов, добив автотрансформаторы. Премьер-министр Украины заявил, что в стране повреждено 40% объектов высоковольтной сети, а также повреждены все тепловые и гидроэлектростанции. Тут Россия подошла системно: методично добивает недобитое в прошлые заходы или быстро восстановленное. С недоумением прочитал, что Азербайджан отправил Украине 45 силовых трансформаторов и 50 генераторов, об этом сообщили в МИД Азербайджана. Интересно, что ответит наш МИД.

Белый дом объявил о новом пакете военной помощи Украине на сумму $275 млн. Туда вошли ракеты для HIMARS, 155-мм снаряды, HMMWV и генераторы. Причем, Пентагон сделал два заказа на расширение производства артиллерийских снарядов 155мм для снабжения Украины. Однако американцы якобы не решаются передать Киеву разведывательно-ударные беспилотники MQ-9 Reaper. Сегодня не решаются, а завтра — кто знает? Германия же объявила, что на складах нет свободных систем Patriot, которые можно было бы передать Украине.

И из созидательного. Запущены два больших проекта в рамках развития Арктической зоны. Кольская ветроэлектростанция, самая мощная в Арктике (750 гигаватт-час в год, что позволит сократить выброс около 600 тысяч тонн углекислого газа), работает на оборудовании, рассчитанном на крайне низкие температуры. Второй проект — Семаковское газовое месторождение, первое в России морское газовое месторождение, разработка которого ведется прямо с берега.

Working Brother is right - a MUST SEE and a master class in cinematography. Also THE greatest war film ever made, and IMO, one of the top ten movies of any genre ever made. If you haven't seen it, here it is for free. You owe it to yourself, to history and to the future to see it. "Come and See"...

🧿 A history lesson, a masterclass in cinematography, a different perspective of the story of World War Two, a good refresher for anyone who thinks they know the Russian mentality and their sacrifices.

This Movie is a lot of things, it was also highly recommended by Russell Bentley.

Come and See (Russian: Иди и смотри, Idi i smotri; Belarusian: Ідзі і глядзі, Idzi i hliadzi) is a 1985 Soviet anti-war film directed by Elem Klimov -

The film's plot focuses on the Nazi German occupation of Belarus, and the events as witnessed by a young Belarusian partisan teenager named Flyora, who—against his mother's wishes—joins the Belarusian resistance movement, and thereafter depicts the Nazi atrocities and human suffering inflicted upon the Eastern European villages' populace. The film mixes hyper-realism with an underlying surrealism, and philosophical existentialism with poetical, psychological, political and apocalyptic themes. - Wiki

- less woke than the IMDB blurb about the film

And now for something on the lighter side, from the channel of my friend and comrade Working Brother's cool and growing channel. Check it out!

🧿 Let's recall this brilliant clip from 28/04/22 which became a GIF. 😅 ⬆️

🧿 Morning mood.

That's some legendary flying! We actually had a couple of SU-25's fly directly over our house this morning. And I mean DIRECTLY over, and less than 100 meters above our roof. I thought it was really cool, but then I looked at my wife, and she was so scared she was crying. She thought it was ukrop Grads coming in. If it had been, we would have been toast.
(PS - the F-18/SU-30 vid was fake, so I took it down on this chan, but left it on my chat chan with a warning.)
This video is REAL.

Странно, что для осознания того, что Минские соглашения были ошибкой, понадобилось заявление Меркель. По-моему, все и так было понятно.

Oleg Tsarev today -
"It is strange that it took a statement from Merkel to realize that the Minsk agreements were a mistake. In my opinion, everything was clear."

Indeed, it was clear to almost all of us in the Republics for years. Seems like the only ones who were fooled were the fools who kept insisting on implementing them...

Massacre in Donetsk by Denis Gregoryuk

The capital of the DPR experienced one of the worst days in its history

December 6 became one of the most terrible days for Donetsk. Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine "celebrated" their professional holiday with a powerful shelling of the central districts of the capital of the DPR. But in addition to the Voroshilovsky and Kyiv regions, the Kuibyshev and Petrovsky front-line regions suffered. Makeevka was also under fire from Ukrainian militants.

The shells again fell on the Covered Market, a direct hit was on the Centaurus Plaza business center, Ukrainian missiles fell into the Kalmius River, the area of the Green Plaza shopping center got hit, and deadly "gifts" from the Ukrainian army exploded near the Central Department Store. In total, 8 people died in Donetsk today, and 11 more were injured of varying severity.

According to the DPR representative office in the JCCC, the BM-21 Grad MLRS was again used in the city center. According to the agency, the shelling in the Voroshilovsky district was carried out from the settlement of Tonenkoye. This information is important, but we will return to it a little later, when we turn to how, immediately after the shelling, they try to shift the blame for the attack on the center of Donetsk to Makeevka.

"(This is) the area of responsibility of the 110th separate mechanized brigade (commander - Colonel Kurash Yevgeny Yuryevich, head of artillery - Lieutenant Colonel Tsiganyuk Dmitry Vasilyevich)," the JCCC said.

One of the first blows fell on the Covered Market. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were already beaten here on the eve of the referendum on the entry of the DPR into the Russian Federation. Then a direct hit fell on a bus where civilians were traveling. Five people died that day. Then the Ukrainian soldiers used Western high-precision weapons, and on December 6, less accurate Grads went into action.

Civilian cars, flower shops, confectionery stalls were on fire. The spread of the shells was several hundred meters. It fell next to administrative buildings, the Academy of Public Administration under the Head of the DPR, the General Prosecutor's Office of the Republic, and the court. The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral was also damaged, the building also had a direct hit. But the APU did not stop there.

During the attack on the Central Department Store, a deputy of the People's Council of the DPR, volunteer and public figure Maria Pirogova was near the youth center. Shells of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell in the immediate vicinity of the building. The girl died on the spot.

I have personally known Masha since the military year of 2014. Then a very young girl was collecting humanitarian aid, taking it around the frontline areas of Donetsk, and after the end of the Debaltsevo campaign, we went to the liberated small villages where civilians continued to live, delivered the necessary assistance: medicines, clothes, food, and brought toys for kids . Maria continued to collect humanitarian aid for those in need, and since 2018 she has become a member of the republican parliament. On December 6, she died while performing her professional duties.

In addition, musician Vadim Lobuzov was there at the time of the “arrivals”. He helped young musicians with recording and producing tracks, provided a studio for rehearsals, he himself was an iconic figure in the Donetsk rock underground.

“On August 27, he left the recreation center of the Donetsk City Youth Center for lunch. Heard a whistle. The shell fell 30 meters away. Then there was a tree between him and death. He was thrown back by the blast. Vadim crawled into the building, came to his senses and began to help evacuate people to the basement. Already there he found blood on himself. There were shell fragments in the stomach and arms. Well, later the doctors also made a diagnosis of "contusion". Vadim's eyesight fell, problems with pressure began. Today, Vadim died, being near the youth center of Donetsk, where he worked at a rehearsal base, ”wrote the military commander Stanislav Obishchenko, who was friends with the guitarist.

Against the backdrop of multiple facts that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been shelling the center of Donetsk for far from the first day, reports of “self-shelling” appear on the Web. Remarkably, a similar thesis, which is typical of the Ukrainian training manual, is spread by Russian liberals. In particular, one of them was Leonid Nevzlin. In his opinion, Donetsk was shot from Makeevka. The same Ukrainian resources were thrown in when in spring and summer they flew to peaceful houses on Shkolny Boulevard next to the Donbass Arena. Allegedly, civilians in Donetsk confirm this, although the liberals do not cite a single source.

“RosSMI has already accused the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but the arrivals to some buildings were apparently made from the occupied Makeevka. Even the locals already understand that the Russians are shelling them, ”writes Nevzlin.

A liberal from Israel, according to the information indicated in his profile, determined the direction of the shelling and spreads information that whitewashes the Ukrainian military with absolutely no evidence. And who, in this case, hit Makeevka? Donetsk? Or some other locality in the DNR? What are they doing at the front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, if the cities of the Republic are at war with themselves? You should not look for logic in the statements of Russian liberals. They need to throw in information that is beneficial to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Kyiv and other interested parties. We cannot allow anyone to think that Ukraine is the aggressor in this conflict, and the Ukrainian military are war criminals. This does not fit into the line of the West. It may turn out that the entire "civilized world" supports terrorists who kill civilians.

I don’t know who else such stuffing works for, since the DPR regularly publishes information indicating the direction from which the shelling was carried out. Specialists always work on the spot, using the appropriate equipment to record the consequences of the shelling, and do not talk about the shelling based on their own ideas about where and who is firing at Donetsk.

It is noteworthy that at the time of the attack on Donetsk, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Slavyanka, which was captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There he again promised that he would “return” Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea. It is obvious that today's strike on civilians was a kind of demonstration of exactly how the Ukrainian militants plan to "return" Zelensky the recalcitrant cities that are already part of the Russian Federation.

Shelling of Donetsk in the Absence of Counter-Battery Fire
by War Correspondent Yuri Kotenok

1. The enemy deliberately irons the very center of Donetsk, its heart is the Voroshilovsky district: st. Artem, Universitetskaya, Pushkin Boulevard. Yesterday, the Grad MLRS was hit at intervals of several hours. A couple of days ago, when our artillery was actively working, the enemy fell silent. As it turned out, not for long.

This indicates poor counter-battery work, or rather, its absence in the western Avdeevsky direction, which is where the arrivals come from, where hostilities are currently taking place. There is no counter-battery fight going on there, it is not physically there, which the enemy takes advantage of, delivering blows with impunity. If anyone says that this struggle is ongoing, then it is in an unsatisfactory, terrible state, because not once in eight years has the enemy hit the center of the city like that, because it immediately flew hard in response. And now it's the norm. And it started about a couple of weeks ago.

2. Why is this happening? The site on the Front in question is assigned (mostly) to the 1st Slavic Omsbr. This illustrious formation is exhausted and bled dry over the years and months of fighting, has heavy losses and shortages. How this affects, to put it mildly, combat capability, I will not explain. But the impunity of the enemy, who strikes from the west at the center of Donetsk, which leads to destruction and human casualties on the territory of the Russian Federation, is evident. This is a direct question to the command of not only the brigade.

3. Why is there no counter-battery combat at the level of formation-unit-subunit?

a) Artillerymen do not have full-fledged reconnaissance platoons, i.e. normal artillery reconnaissance;

b) In fact, there are no reconnaissance platoons in battalions. Formally, there is, in fact - "hodgepodge" or fiction;

c) In fact, the reconnaissance company does not work, the same one that was once created "brick by brick" by its commander - Vsevolod Kasharin, who died heroically near Mariupol (call sign "Pecheneg"). The Cossack, who passed through Chechnya, nurtured, trained scouts, personally led them on reconnaissance exits. He was transferred to another unit, the created backlog was preserved. By the fall of 2022, at the height of the SVO, the reconnaissance company was completely destroyed, valuable personnel were killed / dispersed to other military units;

d) There is no (does not work) reconnaissance department of the formation, which must interact with neighbors, with units and subunits, process and issue information.

4. All this together leads to impunity for the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donetsk. If we approach the situation formally and bureaucratically, then on paper and in reports there will be "good work" and self-satisfaction. If necessary, the bureaucrats will provide a photo report on the work done.

The enemy does not believe the photo and video reports. He spat on the papers of impudent military bureaucrats in the field and higher up the career ladder and shoots when he wants and where he wants, while somewhere a speech is being prepared for an on-duty briefing with a running line ...
