Actually, the ukrop held part of Maryinka is even with the eastern tip of the long lake you see on the map. Those positions are less than 2 Km from Donetsk city limits, and less than 10 Km from our house in Petrovsky. They are 24 Km (15 miles) from Lenin Plaza in the CENTER OF DONETSK.

💢 THE STORM AT MARYINKA CONTINUES (24 km from Donetsk)

"Not to say that everything is going fast, nevertheless, the 150th division liberates the territory of the city. We took all the multi-storey buildings in Marinka. This is positive, because the calculation of successful promotion in the city takes into account the number of floors of the captured buildings.

Tanks and artillery make the buildings held by the UAF lower and lower. But it's still not easy to get through.

We go without assault. This keeps people safe." - Alexander Sladkov

If the ukrops destroy all of the buildings in Bakmut, they have no reason to counter attack and try to take it back - there's nothing left of it. So, obviously, the offensive will be elsewhere.

Hmmm... Where can we think of that has plenty of shelter, food, water, fuel and human shields? You know, someplace not too far from current nazi positions, maybe 25 Km or less...

Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to undermine buildings, moving away from the districts of the city

How did your trip to Ukraine go Edward?

And yet, warriors are born.

At the beginning of the SMO, all the fighters at the front could be called volunteers, because there were a lot of options for "five hundred". Now we are working with those who, for one reason or another, ended up at the front, and their choice was not always simple and obvious.

So, I noticed that being in the same conditions, receiving the same training and supplies, some turn into dogs of war, while others are still little different from civilians. This, of course, does not detract from their feat, but also suggests that some simply cannot quickly navigate the battlefield. Not everyone can storm and break forward under machine-gun fire.

So where am I going? We need to improve the recruiting system. Too often "gamers" who know how to fly FPV drones write in a personal message that they are offered vacant positions as shooters and machine gunners. Because of this, valuable specialists who understand complex electronics are simply erased in the millstones of conflict. The situation is the same with signalmen, media workers and a dozen more complex professions. It is necessary to stop seeing a person as a number in the staff list. It is necessary to finally see talents in a fighter and ways to solve non-trivial tasks at the front. In short, you need to be more flexible, and then everything will work out.

Interview of an old friend and comrade...

◾ Exclusive interview with Sergey Munie a French volunteer in Donbass:

◾The man originally from Luhansk, moved to France with his mother when 10 years old, eventually ended up in the French Army. But in 2014 when Maidan started he quickly realised the western media was lying about it, he decided to move to Donbass to help his people, for that he was expelled from the French military.

◾When he arrived to his native land he saw the truth of the situation, popular uprisings against the new Kiev regime in all eastern cities, and Ultranationalist Battalions been organised in the west to crush those "anti-maidan" movements. For 9 years the Kiev regime bombed the civilian population and its troops raped and committed war crimes. Sergey has been a witness to all those crimes, and many other foreigners from around the world are today in Donbass to help.

Great article from Prigogine .. apparently boiled

"PMC "Wagner" continues to grind the Ukrainian army on Bakhmut. Zelensky sends more and more units into this meat grinder, into a destructive funnel that sucks in the best units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and mercenaries. Why is Zelensky so rested on Bakhmut? Why, starting from December 20, when I challenged him with a comical challenge from the artillery guns of the Wagner PMC, did Zelensky behave like a boy and run into Bakhmut? And our intimate dialogue with him has been going on for four months. We both enjoy, but the orgasm never came.

What is the secret of the Bakhmut meat grinder?

The strategic role of Bakhmut is not so great. Bakhmut is followed by Seversk, Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka and Chasov Yar: settlements that are part of the so-called "Donbas ring" and form a fortified area. On the one hand, Bakhmut is part of this fortified area, on the other hand, the capture of Bakhmut itself will not ensure a short-term victory over Ukraine, the road to the Dnieper, or even the capture of Donbass.

The top leadership of Ukraine endlessly argues about the need to keep Bakhmut. They are trying to shake this city as a sacred symbol. In the morning, sacredness is shaken, in the evening they decide to retreat, and the next morning thousands of soldiers are again thrown in, and so on ad infinitum.

The Ukrainian army has gathered a sufficient number of forces. About 200,000 already sufficiently trained fighters, who have undergone two to three months of training and coordination, are ready to perform combat missions. The amount of weapons and ammunition is quite enough for these 200,000 to go on the offensive in various directions.

The troops ready for the counteroffensive are in the areas of concentration - they have enough of everything. In those tank wedges that they try to drive into the defense of the Wagner PMC every day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose from 30 to 50 pieces of equipment every day, and they don’t experience problems with it. And for people they have, as they say at the front, unlimited.

However, announced, first on December 20, then on January 1, then on the end of January, then on February 24, then on April 3-5, and now on April 15 - the offensive is postponed every time. The army of Ukraine is in the areas of concentration, they beat with a hoof and prepare to move forward. But, as they say, "a donkey that has stood in the shade will not work in the sun." If the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not go on the offensive in the near future, they will gradually begin to lose their combat potential. The war will reach a stalemate, and those territories that are now under the control of the Russian Federation may remain at the disposal of the Russian Federation for years.

Political aspects of Bakhmut

Politically, Bakhmut is of little interest to the Kyiv regime, it is more of a destabilizing factor than a factor of holding its positions. Every cry on Bakhmut, every captured soldier, every hundred killed hit Zelensky and the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine much harder than the benefits they get from holding the remnants of this city.

At the same time, the long battle for Bakhmut is extremely beneficial for Russian troops, because they have already squeezed a large piece of Ukrainian territory in 2022. If the special operation remains within these boundaries, plus or minus a couple of tens of kilometers, then this will solve many of the tasks of the NWO. Bakhmut makes it possible for the Russian army to build up strength, take advantageous defense lines, deal with internal problems, prepare the mobilized and fully armed to meet any number of counter-attacking airmen.

Bakhmut is extremely beneficial for us, we grind the Ukrainian army there and restrain their maneuvers.

Any mid-level commander knows that if you have created tension for the enemy in some place and have enough reserves, then you need to make a maneuver and strike nearby - where the enemy is not ready and where he will break. The most logical step of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would be a rebound from Bakhmut and sharp flank attacks to try to break through our defenses. However, every day columns of equipment come and go from Chasov Yar, and every day, before reaching the front line, hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers die, littering the "road of death" and the surrounding fields with thousands of corpses and hundreds of burnt armored vehicles, going to the slaughter.

Dramatic pause

As you know, the military operation on the part of Ukraine is tactically controlled by the Ukrainian military, and strategically by the so-called Western coalition led by England and the United States. In early April, there was a leak of documents from the Pentagon. The documents themselves do not pose any strategic danger. They collected everything in a row from the world on a thread - most of it from open sources. However, the leak was widely publicized and immediately after it, active statements from sources close to the Pentagon began about the need to slow down the offensive announced on April 15 until the summer period. Why is the army ready for the offensive again detained at its borders and why is the “last Nanai warning” on April 15, the deadline for the Ukrainian offensive again postponed to the summer? After all, it would be much more painful for Russia to start an offensive by Ukraine with inevitable reputational losses before May 9, in the event of at least some minimal success of a few meters in the nominal direction. And why does the Ukrainian army again “give a head start”? It is the Western coalition that takes “dramatic pauses”, it is this group that every time endures the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Perhaps 21-year-old Jack Teixeira leaked documents foolishly, perhaps he was used “in the dark”, but if this leak had not happened, it would certainly have been invented the next day. I emphasize that the documents themselves are not strategic and do not pose any threat to the Armed Forces of Ukraine after their publication. This means that they cannot in any way add risks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the event of their occurrence.

There are a huge number of conspiracy theories about the events of the 90s, and then 2014 - the Maidan in Ukraine and the transfer of Crimea under the control of the Russian Federation. There are a huge number of different prophecies that tell about the meanings of these events. One thing is absolutely clear - the United States and the Anglo-Saxon group have been hatching a plan for the collapse of the USSR for a long time, as the main geopolitical competitor. In the late 80s and early 90s, they managed to overlay the ruling elite of the USSR with a huge number of agents of influence, give new meanings that changed the ideology of the existence of this ruling elite, put the population on a consumer needle and destroy the USSR. The collapse of the USSR was the most painful, the most difficult collapse of empires over the past hundreds of years, but did not lead to the complete destruction of Russia and its division into small principalities. In the bowels of the American intelligence services, a plan has long been ripened to take the next step towards the complete collapse of Russia, which is fully consistent with today's US doctrine.

The fragmentation of African states, the collapse of the former Warsaw Pact countries. The smaller the country, the easier it is to manage, the more financially dependent it is, the more obedient it is.
