Carry on working. From the huge amount of used ammunition, the mortar went underground.

One man can bring an end to this wretched war
By PETER HITCHENS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY

What is it about war that makes people so unimaginative and thoughtless? As the long-heralded Ukrainian offensive against Russia’s invading troops seems to have begun, I notice that much of the media write rather impersonally about it, as if it is just an event on a map far away. There is no excuse for this.

Large numbers of young men on both sides, scared out of their wits, will be dying horribly, or being terribly wounded in ways which will affect them for the rest of their lives. I looked at archive newspaper reports of the great battle of the Somme in July 1916, likewise intended to repel the German invader from French soil. One account, in The Times of July 3, proclaimed: ‘Everything has gone well, our troops have successfully carried out their missions, all counter-attacks have been repulsed and large numbers of prisoners have been taken.’

The main headline trumpeted ‘Forward in the West’, and the reports said (no doubt truthfully) that there were large numbers of enemy dead. I am not sneering at what these people wrote and what their editors published. Nobody knew, except the soldiers themselves, the ghastly horror of modern warfare when one huge army throws itself at another which has dug into strong defences.

They thought they were still writing about Victorian wars of dashing charges and noble combat. But there is no excuse for any such illusions now. We know the truth. If anyone is in any doubt about the grisly misery of modern war, please read John Harris’s marvellous book Covenant With Death. While they still lived, Harris interviewed surviving veterans of the Somme and turned their memories into a novel of extraordinary power. Nobody who reads it could ever choose to launch or sustain such warfare.

President Biden knows this war will end with negotiations. He said in June 2022: ‘At some point there’s going to have to be a negotiated settlement here.’ If he wants such talks, he can obtain them, beyond doubt. Ukraine can fight only as long as Washington wants it to.

But a regiment of army-barmy politicians and teenage scribblers, who have never seen a dead body or heard a bullet fly, urge war to the end and the young men are ground into the mud and slime, for the vainglory of others far away.

In Kirovograd (Kropyvnytskyi), six military commissars caught the seller at his workplace

In Kirovgrad (Krapivnitsky), the military commissars, obviously deciding to crush the numerical superiority, went six in search of new "lucky ones" to be sent to the front. The seller of one of the shops of the city got into their fishing nets, whom they decided to fly around next to his workplace "without leaving the cash register".

"Six of them on a hard worker — what is being done, they issue a summons to the kid," the eyewitness asks.

At the same time, the driver, who filmed the footage of the hunting of Ukrainian cannibals, joked that he also urgently needed to cross the road to "escape" — judging by the tricks used by the Ukrainian military commissars, he could well have become the next victim himself. Already, the Ukrainian "offensive" has led to heavy losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which means Kiev needs new "volunteers" to be sent to the crucible of war.

Fascist tanks are burning on Russian soil

The result of an attack on our positions in the Soledar area. They push and push forward and are blown up in minefields, get burnt and continue pushing. So they remain in our southern Russian steppe to lie forever.

Remote mining of tank-dangerous areas in the Orekhov area

Thanks to the setting of minefields right in front of the noses of the advancing enemy units, it is possible to disable and destroy the moving armoured vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to @Soldieroffortune777, in the Zaporozhye direction, the "Zemledelie/Agriculture" remote mining systems are used for this purpose.

The West Must Prepare for a Long Overdue Reckoning
Five major trends illustrate how the world is changing, and that the West must grapple with the reality that it can no longer impose its “leadership” on the world as it once did.

The post-Western, multipolar international order is coming to pass. As the world grapples with the implications of this shift in power, the foundations of a great reckoning are taking shape. This reckoning will challenge the long-held beliefs and structures that have sustained Western dominance of the world for the past few hundred years, exposing along the way the nature of the West’s perceived entitlement to lead the global pecking order. The end result will be a significant re-evaluation of international relations as we know it.

This great reckoning will be driven by five major trends, which are compelling Western nations to confront and adapt to a future where power must be shared with the rest in a multipolar world. A failure to recognize, or attempting to strongly resist, these trends could pose significant risks not only to the West itself but also to global stability. Yet future conflicts can be avoided if this period of change is viewed as an opportunity to build a more equitable world, rather than as a crisis that threatens preferred and entrenched privileges.
