Zelensky determined the fate of Ukraine with one phrase
David Narmania for RIA Novosti
In the outgoing week, the President of Ukraine admitted that he was not going to implement the Minsk agreements, which were supposed to end the war in Donbass.
We must pay tribute — Volodymyr Zelensky held out the longest. But, unlike other politicians who lied about their adherence to the Minsk agreements, he is the only one who remains the current (so far) state leader.
Petro Poroshenko was the first to let it slip — back in June last year, he said that he was trying to win eight years for Kyiv to build an army and there could be no question of any peaceful settlement. But the devil, as you know, is in the details. He made this statement after the scandal with the departure from Ukraine, when he had already returned to Kyiv. Local media and telegram channels then actively ridiculed his attempts to leave, and excuses, and return. So such sincerity on his part is a necessary condition for the continuation of at least some kind of political career.
After him, Frau Merkel repented. But here the motives, apparently, were different. If Poroshenko wanted to stay afloat, then she, on the contrary, wanted a quiet old age. And against the backdrop of frenzied Russophobia, the former partner of the Kremlin could not dream of any calmness.
Therefore, the ex-chancellor was thus forced to repent for the prosperity of Germany, which — look at Germany now — is impossible without cooperation with the Kremlin and Russian resources. And there is no better way for this than to tell that it was her efforts that managed to save Ukraine from defeat and give it time to restore the army. Herr Scholz does not repeat her mistakes, so now the banner of solidarity with Kiev proudly flies over the ruins of German industry.
Then the fact that France was also an accomplice to this deception, said Francois Hollande.
And now — Zelensky. And so persistently — as much as twice a week. And the key point in his statements is the explanation why "Minsk" was not feasible: "the question of Crimea was not included." What follows from this? Firstly, this is another hello to all "pacifists" for whom the murder of people in the Donbass by the Kyiv regime is not a war, but an internal affair of Ukraine. Thus, Zelensky openly makes it clear that he is going to take away its territories from Russia. Secondly, and more importantly, such close attention to the Crimea is an attempt to beg military aircraft and heavy equipment from sponsors for the impending offensive.
And here, against the backdrop of militant speeches, a slightly different, almost forgotten song comes to mind, when his election promises of peace for Ukraine and Donbass sounded, and after that — flattering intonations in a conversation with a militant of the National Battalion, whom the whole president of the country tried to disarm, and rhetorical a question from Zelensky "I'm not some kind of sucker."
Let's leave the three-letter definitions regarding the current occupant of the Bankovaya office for more informal conversations. The statement that he initially did not intend to comply with the Minsk agreements is a guarantee of the inability of the current Kyiv regime to negotiate. This means that there will be no diplomatic settlement of the conflict. A year, two, ten will pass, and the next heir to the current Ukrainian regime, in the midst of a new conflict, will talk about the fact that it was not he who signed Minsk-15, he was not going to fulfil it, and that document did not take into account the return of Crimea and Donbass.
This confrontation can only end with the victory of Russia. Because a nuclear power cannot lose in a conflict in which its existential interests are at stake.
And it would be good if Zelensky did not have time to escape from the country after that. It is necessary that he answer to the Ukrainians for dozens — by the end of the conflict, probably hundreds - of thousands of dead, widows, orphans.

Sudan military finishes review of Russian Red Sea base deal
CAIRO (AP) — Sudan’s ruling military concluded a review of an agreement with Russia to build a navy base on the Red Sea in the African country, two Sudanese officials said Saturday.
They said the deal was awaiting the formation of a civilian government and a legislative body to be ratified before it takes effect. The officials said Moscow met Sudan’s most recent demands, including providing more weapons and equipment.
“They cleared all our concerns. The deal has become OK from the military side,” one official said.
The officials did not provide further details and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. A spokesman for the Sudanese military declined to comment.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also said Thursday the deal still needs ratification by Sudan’s yet-to-be-formed legislative body.
Sudan has been without a parliament since a popular uprising forced the military overthrow of long-time autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The country has been mired in political chaos since an October 2021 military coup derailed its short-lived transition to democracy.
The deal, which surfaced in December 2021, is part of Moscow’s efforts to restore a regular naval presence in various parts of the globe. It was reached during al-Bashir’s reign.
The agreement allows Russia to set up a naval base with up to 300 Russian troops, and to simultaneously keep up to four navy ships, including nuclear-powered ones, in the strategic Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
The base would ensure the Russian navy’s presence in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and spare its ships the need for long voyages to reach the area, according to Viktor Bondarev, the former Russian air force chief.
In exchange, Russia is to provide Sudan with weapons and military equipment. The agreement is to last for 25 years, with automatic extensions for 10-year periods if neither side objects.
In June 2021, Sudan’s Chief of General Staff, Gen. Mohammed Othman al-Hussein, told a local television station that Khartoum would review the agreement.
In February last year Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, commander of the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, held talks with senior Russian officials in Moscow.
Upon his return from the weeklong trip, Dagalo said his country didn’t have objections to Russia or any other country establishing a base on its territory as it poses no threat to Sudan’s national security.
“If any country wants to open a base and it is in our interests and doesn’t threaten our national security, we have no problem in dealing with anyone, Russian or otherwise,” he said.

Are we going to fight for real?
by Mikhail Osherov
The special military operation in Ukraine, which dragged on for almost a whole year (less than two weeks), has long since turned into a war of attrition, a war in which the most important factor in victory is the “war of the rear” — the war of communications and the war of resources.
For the past year, Ukraine has largely been living on imported resources, military operations by the Ukrainian side are now carried out mainly with foreign weapons and foreign ammunition, which must be delivered to the front line from the outside — from the western border, across the country, by rail and across bridges across the Dnieper.
Ukraine inherited from the USSR the densest network of roads and railways, almost completely electrified. The locomotive fleet of Ukrainian railways is mostly represented by electric locomotives and, to a lesser extent, by diesel locomotives.
To stop military transportation on Ukrainian railways, it is necessary to damage bridges across the Dnieper River, two important tunnels in Transcarpathia, junction marshalling yards and dispatching hubs.
The power outage will also suspend, and in some areas completely stop, all transportation by rail due to the termination of both traction voltage and power supply to dispatch centres and turnouts.
Yesterday, for the first time since the beginning of the NWO, we struck at real energy infrastructure facilities — at generating capacities. The machine rooms of the thermal power plant in Kiev, Kharkov, at the Krivorozhskaya thermal power plant, at the Dneprohydroelectric power station, and other objects were hit.
Earlier, throughout the year, our army shelled only transformer substations, which were relatively easily restored by the Ukrainian side.
Destroying transformer substations without destroying generating capacity does not cause serious damage to any power system — electricity flows are redirected, transformers are replaced with new ones and reconnected within a relatively short time, measured in days and weeks.
Destroying turbines and generators after hitting the engine rooms of power plants puts them out of action for a long time; dismantling of broken power units, restoration of building structures and installation and installation of new units that still need to be purchased somewhere — this process can take many years in peacetime, in wartime it will be almost impossible to do.
In fact, only now have we begun to fight for real, to cause irreversible damage to the energy infrastructure of Ukraine. This process must be continued and increased until the complete cessation of military transportation through the territory of this geographical and historical misunderstanding.
We will defeat Ukraine only when all bridges across the Dnieper are put out of action, when a complete naval blockade is established and when Ukrainian railways are stopped.

Мы начинаем воевать по-настоящему?
Затянувшаяся почти на целый год специальная военная операция на Украине давно уже перешла в войну на истощение.

Action to be taken from defence
The commander of the “Vostok” battalion in the DPR Ministry of Internal Affairs, the ex-commander of the Donetsk “Alpha” Alexander Khodakovsky (“Skif”) argues what dictated the tactics of the Russian Army.
Why do we climb to storm cities and towns, if there are impressive distances between them and it is possible to break through the defences in open areas and enter the operational space?
— Because we do not know how to act there with the forces and means that we have. There are not enough personnel, training and equipment to fill the space until the enemy is put in a passive position, in which he himself will need to think about saving and securing on new lines, which will give us the opportunity to deal with the vast territory that has fallen on our hands.
In this territory there will also be a bunch of settlements from which the enemy will not have time or will not want to retreat and which will need to block by encirclement, that is, a bunch of such pockets of resistance on the map in the rear of the new front, for which you need to have a lot of forces and means. The new front line itself, on which we would have to burrow in while the enemy comes to his senses ....
Not only will all this require a resource, this resource will also need to be somehow managed in the process of developing an offensive, and this is like playing three-dimensional chess, keeping acrobatic combinations in your head.
That is why I said and continue to think that now it is better to act from the defence on the held lines, accumulating and preparing the potential necessary for a full-scale offensive.
But standing on the defensive is like giving the initiative to the enemy. It looks non-cinematic for the onlookers, and then there are the successes in certain sections of the private military companies, abundantly accompanied on the air by accusations of various kinds against the regular military authorities... How can one not attack here? So here we go on offensive, the way how we can.
But while we are advancing like this, we do not have time to accumulate the potential necessary for solving larger tasks. But not only the military is to blame for this technique — to a large extent, their decisions today are influenced by subjective factors: competition, when they are provoked to unprepared actions, philistine expectations, when millions of watchers are waiting for good news and when the army does not give them, the public mood is formed differently as you would expect...
And the conductor of all these currents and moods is the information space, which has divided itself and is at war with itself with varying degrees of success. It is precisely this that today largely determines the nature of war, depriving military decisions of the necessary degree of rationality.
So, when assessing what is happening, it is completely wrong to narrow the context only to military circumstances — the influence of multi-level politics on the war is stronger today than ever.

In an interview with a #German magazine, #Zelensky finally publicly admits that he never planned to honor the #Minsk #ceasefire agreements signed with the Donbass Republics in 2014 and 2015.
As I have said many time here: Zelensky always wanted this war, it's why he was put into power in the first place
The Russians instigated the Minsk Agreements to try to Create Peace Between the Ukrainian coup-Government and people in the Donbass. Zelensky Said He Never Planned to Honor Them.
The ever-complaining Zelensky also accused the West of being insufficiently supportive of Ukraine, despite billions of dollars in weapons and financing committed before and after Russia invaded last year.

The Minsk Agreements Tried to Create Peace Between Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky Said He Never Planned to Honor Them.
The Ukrainian president also accused the West of being insufficiently supportive of Ukraine, despite billions of dollars in aid committed before and after Russia invaded last year.
Representatives of the Austrian Armed Forces said they were leaving the earthquake zone in Turkey, due to the lack of security and the threat to the lives of the military and rescuers themselves due to armed bands of looters, and periodic shooting.
"The expected success of the rescue operation is incommensurable with the security risk. In Turkey, there is an increase in confrontations between the groups. It is reported that shots were fired," RIA Novosti quotes Lieutenant Colonel Pierre Kugelweis.
Germans are cancelling rescue operation as well. “There are more and more reports of clashes between different groups, and shots were also heard. It is obvious that sadness is gradually giving way to anger. Therefore, we will remain in the camp for now,” stated chairman of the German international search and rescue service Stefan Heine.
Israeli Ministry of Emergency Situations left Turkey ahead of schedule due to security threat: “We knew that sending our team to this area of Turkey, which is close to the Syrian border, would involve certain risks, but we took the necessary steps to mitigate the threat for the sake of our rescue mission lives. Unfortunately, we have just received information about a specific and immediate threat to the Israeli delegation, and we must put the safety of our personnel first. We are very proud of what our team has achieved in just a few days, assisting in the rescue of 15 people in cooperation with the IDF Home Front Command, the Israeli Search and Rescue Unit, local rescue forces and the Turkish Red Cross.”
The evacuation took place after a joint assessment of the situation with the leaders of the IDF logistics command and search and rescue units.
Since the rescue team did not have planes to fly back to Israel, Jewish billionaire and philanthropist Miriam Adelson provided them with their own private jet.
The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) remains in Turkey to provide disaster relief as part of Operation Olive Branch.
For those who cares — Russian rescuers in Turkey and Syria are selflessly fulfilling their task, they are under reliable (self) protection, they are not going to leave anywhere.

This is not a simple battle between good and evil: The longer we avoid peace talks in Ukraine the closer we come to Armageddon, writes PETER HITCHENS
...
There are no nice wars. The more fighting there is, the more blood and screams and tragedy there will be. But I cannot think of a war in modern times in which so little effort has been made to bring about peace.
...
The help the West is now giving to Ukraine can, and probably will, be used for attack, possibly on Crimea, where there are many Russians who do not wish to be ruled by Ukraine. Russia under attack, especially defending what it regards as its rightful territory in Crimea, will be a very different enemy from Russia engaged in a lawless invasion. I’ve explained in The Mail on Sunday why I believe this war is more complex than many think. The 30-year eastward expansion of Nato was a rash mistake, undermining Russian democrats and liberals and strengthening Putin and his nationalist backers.
I’ve shown that George Washington University in the US has archives showing that it was also in breach of promises clearly given to Moscow by major Western leaders.
I’ve pointed out that the war really began in 2014 when Ukraine’s democratically elected president was lawlessly overthrown by an armed mob, and the West – supposedly in favour of law and democracy – showed every sign of approval.
I’ve noted that even the American ultra-hawk Robert Kagan admits that Russia was provoked (though, like you and me, he does not think this excuses the invasion).
Yet we are ceaselessly told by uninformed media and politicians that it was ‘unprovoked’.
Far from ‘denying’ Russian atrocities, I underline the fact that (as is horribly normal in war) both sides have done wicked things.
So when the United Nations reported on the treatment of prisoners of war last November, it said of Ukrainians held by the Russians: ‘The vast majority interviewed told us that during their internment they were tortured and ill-treated.’ And it said of Russian PoWs held by Ukraine: ‘We have received credible allegations of summary executions… and several cases of torture and ill-treatment, reportedly committed by members of the Ukrainian armed forces.’
This simply is not Gandalf versus the Orcs. Ukraine is, in any case, a corrupt state, heavily dominated by billionaires, where speech and the media are not that free. It is not as different from Russia as its current fan club like to claim.
...
Russia exists. As long as it exists, it will defend its borders and its neighbourhood, exactly as the USA or Britain would in the same circumstances.
Imagine what would happen if a newly independent Scotland played host to Russian bases and troops, or if Mexico signed a military alliance with China.
The traditional solution to such problems has been diplomacy, the forging of hard, lasting deals which leave both sides feeling reasonably secure.
Of course, that means give as well as take. Sometimes we might give more than we want. But is war – savage, merciless, atrocious war – with its handmaids of poverty and relentless state control, so wonderful that we cannot even contemplate a negotiated peace?
The longer we leave it, the greater the risk of Armageddon and the harder the deal will be.
It is time to talk.

Well, we would not agree with many points and definitions from Mr. Hitchens. However, it is a pleasure to read something that has consistent logic. Life certainly could be better if people would judge situation logically, not under the effect of fear, hatred and vengeance.

Far from ‘denying’ Russian atrocities, I underline the fact that (as is horribly normal in war) both sides have done wicked things.
So when the United Nations reported on the treatment of prisoners of war last November, it said of Ukrainians held by the Russians: ‘The vast majority interviewed told us that during their internment they were tortured and ill-treated.’ And it said of Russian PoWs held by Ukraine: ‘We have received credible allegations of summary executions… and several cases of torture and ill-treatment, reportedly committed by members of the Ukrainian armed forces.’
This simply is not Gandalf versus the Orcs. Ukraine is, in any case, a corrupt state, heavily dominated by billionaires, where speech and the media are not that free. It is not as different from Russia as its current fan club like to claim.
...
Russia exists. As long as it exists, it will defend its borders and its neighbourhood, exactly as the USA or Britain would in the same circumstances.
Imagine what would happen if a newly independent Scotland played host to Russian bases and troops, or if Mexico signed a military alliance with China.
The traditional solution to such problems has been diplomacy, the forging of hard, lasting deals which leave both sides feeling reasonably secure.
Of course, that means give as well as take. Sometimes we might give more than we want. But is war – savage, merciless, atrocious war – with its handmaids of poverty and relentless state control, so wonderful that we cannot even contemplate a negotiated peace?
The longer we leave it, the greater the risk of Armageddon and the harder the deal will be.
It is time to talk.

Well, we would not agree with many points and definitions from Mr. Hitchens. However, it is a pleasure to read something that has consistent logic. Life certainly could be better if people would judge situation logically, not under the effect of fear, hatred and vengeance.

Warsaw does not consider Polish mercenaries in Ukraine a problem
Polish Defence Minister Blaszczak: The presence of Polish mercenaries in Ukraine is not a problem
WARSAW, Feb 13 — RIA Novosti. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence of Poland Mariusz Blaszczak does not consider the participation of Polish mercenaries in hostilities in Ukraine a problem.
"These are not large numbers. This is a question created artificially. There is no such problem," the official said on the Polsat TV channel.
So he answered the question about publications periodically appearing in the local media that citizens of the republic are dying in Ukraine with weapons in their hands.
Speaking about whether the Poles who participate in the events in Ukraine will be punished, since this activity is illegal, Blaszczak also said that "this is not a problem."

Speaking about whether the Poles who participate in the events in Ukraine will be punished, since this activity is illegal, Blaszczak also said that "this is not a problem."
In early November, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that since February 2022, more than eight thousand mercenaries from 60 countries have arrived in Ukraine, most of all from Poland, the United States, Canada, Romania and Britain. In many countries, mercenaryism is a criminal offence.
In mid-January, the American newspaper The Washington Post, citing analysts and scientists, wrote that between one and three thousand foreign mercenaries were operating in Ukraine at that time. The publication noted that last spring in Kyiv they talked about 20,000 mercenaries, but the vast majority of them, apparently, returned to their homeland before the onset of summer. So, according to the newspaper, many were apparently more interested in posing for social networks than in participating in heavy hostilities, while others sought to bring fantasies from computer games to life. Another category of mercenaries was foreigners who fled from criminal cases in their homeland.

Варшава не считает польских наемников на Украине проблемой
Вице-премьер и министр национальной обороны Польши Мариуш Блащак не считает проблемой участие польских наемников в боевых действиях на Украине. РИА Новости, 13.02.2023
The US has selected 60 militants for terrorist attacks in Russia and the CIS, said SVR
MOSCOW, February 13 — RIA Novosti. US intelligence agencies recruited 60 militants in Syria in January of this year, who are planned to be sent to Russia and other CIS countries to carry out terrorist attacks, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said.
"According to credible information coming to the Foreign Intelligence Service, the US military is actively recruiting militants from jihadist groups affiliated with the Islamic State * and Al-Qaeda * to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia and in the CIS countries," the agency said in a statement. .
According to the information of the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Americans pay special attention to attracting people from the countries of Central Asia and the North Caucasian regions of Russia to cooperation.
Terrorists who already have experience of participating in hostilities in the Middle East are now being rapidly trained at the American base at Al-Tanf in Syria.
"There they are taught the skills of making and using improvised explosive devices, as well as methods of conducting sabotage and subversive activities. Particular attention is paid to planning attacks on well-guarded facilities, including foreign diplomatic missions," the ministry said.
In the near future, the United States plans to send them to Russia and other CIS countries as part of small groups. After that, the militants will have to carry out attacks against diplomats, civil servants, law enforcement officers and military personnel.
At the same time, according to the plan of the US military, they will organize attacks together with underground cells of international terrorist groups, including Hizb ut-Tahrir *, Jamaat Ansarullah * and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan *.
“We see the final loss of any moral principles in the US security forces. Being obsessed with the crazy idea of “bleeding” Russia, Washington strategists consider it acceptable to directly use terrorists for their dirty purposes,” the department said.
The Foreign Intelligence Service emphasized that by such actions, the States put themselves on a par with the largest international terrorist groups.

The commander of the special forces "Akhmat" Alaudinov survived the assassination attempt — Kadyrov
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that a few days ago, his assistant, the Hero of Russia and the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov, survived the assassination attempt — they tried to poison him.
At present, the life and health of Alaudinov, who is also the deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps, are not in danger, Kadyrov specified.
“On February 8, Alaudinov’s adjutant received an envelope with a message for the general. It turned out that the letter was saturated with a poisonous substance.
Apty Aronovich understood this by the caustic specific smell and took measures in time: he cleaned his hands and washed his nasal cavity. So did the adjutants of the general, who were in contact with the envelope.
The poisoned were admitted to the medical battalion, where, thanks to the skilled and competent actions of the head and two medical fighters, one of whom turned out to be a professional toxicologist, serious consequences were avoided.
Now General Alaudinov and both adjutants are in a Moscow clinic and are on the mend.
Doctors carry out all the necessary procedures. Specialists took a sampling of biological materials for analysis and identification of a poisonous substance.
In parallel, there is an investigation of the assassination attempt, the identification of those involved. There are already results,” the head of Chechnya said.
Kadyrov wished his assistant and his comrades-in-arms a speedy recovery and return to duty, and also thanked the commander (call sign "Chikala") and the doctors of the medical battalion, who promptly provided professional assistance to the poisoned officers and neutralized the toxin.

Командир спецназа «Ахмат» Алаудинов пережил покушение, — Кадыров
Замкомандующего 2-м армейским корпусом Апты Алаудинов несколько дней назад был отравлен, сообщил глава Чечни.
The Dnieper continues to shallow. Why did the Kyiv regime shut down the hydraulic gates of the HPP in the upper reaches of the river?
Translated from RusVesna
The American Institute for the Study of War reported that Russian troops had seized the initiative on the fronts of Ukraine and launched a major offensive in the LPR. It is worth noting that the topic of the inevitable major Russian offensive has been discussed since November last year. Some experts predicted that it would begin in January-February 2023.
At the same time, more than 700 objects were destroyed by the massive missile strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces on the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. This was reported by Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal at the end of last year. Then he stated that "after eight waves of rocket attacks, all thermal and hydroelectric power plants were damaged."
Rolling blackouts throughout Ukraine lead to numerous accidents, including interruptions in hydroelectric power stations. Here, an interesting fact is that in a rather warm winter, the largest river Dnieper continues to shallow.
It is noteworthy that, for example, in the Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions, the water level in the Dnieper continues to fall, and in the upper reaches of the river, in Belarus, it rises significantly.
This only testifies to the fact that this is a man-made process, deliberately organized by the Kyiv regime in the upper reaches of the Dnieper by gradually closing the hydraulic gates of the HPPs on the dams of the Dnieper cascade in the upper reaches.
In our material, we assumed that the drop in the water level in the river would allow using the pontoon crossings of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Zaporozhye to transfer equipment and attack Melitopol-Berdyansk, which, in turn, Kyiv could use to cut the land corridor of Russian troops to the Crimea.
Meanwhile, there are other suggestions why the water level in the river is still falling. Ukrainian media, for example, claim that HPPs across Ukraine are now operating at full capacity. In addition, they say that they allegedly save water for the summer due to the expected heat. Here is what local journalists from Zaporozhye think about it:
“January 2, 2023. Something is happening with the Dnieper — the water has moved significantly away from the shore. And there are no birds on the shore, but there are some snags. It’s somehow alarming when you see such a picture,” Zaporozhye journalist Irina Yegorova described the mysterious, at first glance, natural phenomenon.
However, now it is not necessary to talk about the real possibilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to conduct offensive operations. In particular, in order to conduct offensive operations, the West recommends that the Armed Forces of Ukraine wait for the promised weapons (aircraft, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers, various armoured fighting vehicles, MLRS with long-range ammunition, etc.).
Another important reason for the inability to press the RF Armed Forces is the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the lack of a mobilization resource. Ukrainian analysts consider it possible to conduct a counteroffensive only in late spring or summer.
Meanwhile, amid the announcement of another package of US military assistance to the Ukrainian regime, which will include GLSDB precision-guided munitions with a range of 150 km, a number of Russian politicians have announced the need to move the line even further from the Russian borders - at least by the same 150 km.
Thus, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, noted that the GLSDB bombs would pose a threat to the rear Russian regions and cities. In this regard, Rogov called on the command of the RF Armed Forces to act proactively.

Днепр продолжает мелеть. Для чего киевский режим перекрыл гидротехнические затворы ГЭС в верховьях реки?
Примечательно, что в Запорожской и Днепропетровской обл. уровень воды в Днепре продолжает падать, а в верховьях реки — подниматься.
Continuation from above ⬆️⬆️⬆️
“We must firmly push back the line of contact so that our enemies do not have the opportunity to inflict damage. Today, the issue of pushing the front line deep into the territory of the post-Ukrainian space, controlled by the Zelensky regime, by 150 kilometers is relevant,” Rogov said.
In turn, it is assumed that the offensive launched by the Russian Armed Forces will include several stages, and its ultimate goal may be the entire left bank of the Dnieper River, which flows in Ukraine. It should be noted that Russia has opportunities both in military and mobilization terms. It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian regime is also considering this option and is trying to beg for even more weapons and financial assistance.
“Of course, there is a lot of equipment that we need, it depends on the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine… Our priority is armoured vehicles. Nevertheless, we have only 10 NATO armoured vehicles against thousands of Russian vehicles — what are the chances,” Zelensky said in the UK.
However, there is another very interesting option, which involves the destruction of supply routes and finally the destruction of bridges across the Dnieper. This is understood in the Ukrainian General Staff. If the bridges across the Dnieper are destroyed, then a large grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the left bank will be without supplies and will eventually be destroyed.
Thus, it is possible that one of the options for today's shallowing of the Dnieper is the man-made process of the Kyiv regime to ensure the possibility of building pontoon crossings in the narrow places of the river, where the distance between the banks reaches hardly 100 meters.
At the same time, in some places the Dnieper itself and its tributaries can be forded to continue supply Ukrainian troops.
Among other things, the Kyiv regime is also considering the case when its troops will be forced to hastily retreat and flee to the right bank, fleeing from inevitable death. Under these circumstances, there will be no time and no one to direct pontoon crossings. In this case, the hastily retreating Ukrainian troops will try to cross the shallow river ford, and then, obviously, throw off the wave and once again blame Russia for this.

'We're calling them objects — not balloons — for a reason': Pentagon refuses to rule out that objects flying over the US are 'aliens or extraterrestrials' after third UFO is shot down after flying near sensitive military sites
➖A third unknown aerial object was shot down over the Great Lakes on Sunday
➖Authorities are not ruling out that the three most recent objects could be aliens
➖They are not calling them balloons — because they are still not sure what they are
The Pentagon has refused to rule out the possibility that a slew of unidentified objects shot out of the sky in recent days could be linked to extraterrestrials.
A US fighter jet shot down an 'unidentified object' over Lake Huron on Sunday on orders from President Joe Biden. It was the third such downing in three days, and the latest military strike in an extraordinary chain of events over U.S. airspace that Pentagon officials believe has no peacetime precedent.
US Air Force General Glen VanHerck said intelligence services were exploring all avenues — including the notion the three most recent objects could be linked to extraterrestrials.
#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
Previously American authorities were denying any extra-terrestrial versions of the origin of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), which was introduced instead of UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) to emphasise, that those are "phenomena" (possibly meteorological or optical) and not "objects".
However, it all has suddenly changed. One of possible explanations is that American authorities and their tamed mass media are trying to distract public attention from the current political situation, like American participation in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipes and growing involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Early 2010s.
The world, in all of it's spheres, from cultural, political, and economical, changed quite alot, we now live in phase that's one of the most transformative in Human History.
See, since the times of Adam and Eve, and going back millenias ago, there were always some sort of balance in the World, the same way the human body has it's chemicals balanced so that we could not be physically or mentally deranged or unbalanced, so does the world, a truly unipolar world was never seen in Human History until recently, in the 90s.
Ancient Egyptians and Hitties, Romans and Persians, the British and the French, the Ottomans and the coalition of Christian Europe, there were always some counter weight to the a great power, which was always another great power, or a coalition of some of them.
From the 1990s, with the collapse of the USSR, the world had a severe setback, for once a unipolar world order was established, with it's capital in Brussels, but then slowly, something started to change.
Starting the 2000s, the US was the main trading partner of most countries in the world, with the 2010s finishing off with China being the largest trading partner of 170 countries in the world, displacing the United States.
In Russia, there was a slight rise starting with the 2008 war in Georgia, which just accelerated after the 2014 take-over of Crimea.
Iran became more active in supplying organizations and groups, their aid to the Houthis started to increase gradually from 2003, hitting it's peak in the 2010s.
The decouplation and de-dollarization process, which started in the 2010s is now hitting full swing in the 2020s, God knows where this will end, I just know it's not going to be fun.
In my own country, I've lived through 2 revolutions, in 2011 and 2013, this world wide change I felt more personally, my countries economy largely depended on trade with Europe and North America, but now, the trade increased massively with other countries, with Brazil, Russia, China, etc...
Civil societies were shook, the army - reinvigorated, and numerous amounts of national projects were enacted, a Nuclear Power Plant, new ports, fiber internet connections being built, whole new cities from scratch, the largest Black Sand processing plant going operational, life here changed greatly if we compare it in 2010, of course, not all changes were good, but sometimes it's wild to see it firsthand, I've seen entire new quarters being built, I've seen the school system and healthcare system being digitized, I've also seen ups and downs - the security situation, which at first was terrible, being more secure as time goes by, the economy as volatile as a bipolar woman, and some social and legal changes were, well, iffy to say the least.
But what can I say? I'm sure it'll be better one day, if not for me, maybe for the future generations, history is being written as we speak, afterall, it should just be enough to look back, contemplate it, then move on.

Iran became more active in supplying organizations and groups, their aid to the Houthis started to increase gradually from 2003, hitting it's peak in the 2010s.
The decouplation and de-dollarization process, which started in the 2010s is now hitting full swing in the 2020s, God knows where this will end, I just know it's not going to be fun.
In my own country, I've lived through 2 revolutions, in 2011 and 2013, this world wide change I felt more personally, my countries economy largely depended on trade with Europe and North America, but now, the trade increased massively with other countries, with Brazil, Russia, China, etc...
Civil societies were shook, the army - reinvigorated, and numerous amounts of national projects were enacted, a Nuclear Power Plant, new ports, fiber internet connections being built, whole new cities from scratch, the largest Black Sand processing plant going operational, life here changed greatly if we compare it in 2010, of course, not all changes were good, but sometimes it's wild to see it firsthand, I've seen entire new quarters being built, I've seen the school system and healthcare system being digitized, I've also seen ups and downs - the security situation, which at first was terrible, being more secure as time goes by, the economy as volatile as a bipolar woman, and some social and legal changes were, well, iffy to say the least.
But what can I say? I'm sure it'll be better one day, if not for me, maybe for the future generations, history is being written as we speak, afterall, it should just be enough to look back, contemplate it, then move on.
