Analysis of information and propaganda. Results of the week
(December 3-9, 2023)

🔹 The efforts of Russian resources are partially redirected to the presidential elections. Observers noticed that the announcement of Vladimir Putin’s nomination took place at a meeting with our heroes who won glory during the fight against Ukrainian Nazism
🔹The enemy is trying to maintain pressure on the situation in the information space. Ilya Kiva was killed. They are looking for approaches to another attack on the Crimean bridge or holding an action to demonstrate the flag on Russian territory. We noted the enemy's attempt to attach himself to the tragedy in the Bryansk school
🔹Kiev is solving the problem of mobilizing new forces. Raids are being carried out where there were none before, priests of the OCU are being brought in for propaganda. Amid the high-profile failures of the week, Zelensky is trying to maintain the appearance of international support and plans to fly to Argentina. Another task for the junta remains to replace Zaluzhny in such a way as to satisfy the foreign masters
🔹Biden’s plan to allocate money to Ukraine failed in the United States. The mood of the crowd against the allocation of money to Kiev is being stirred up by Trumpists. The situation reached a dead end, until the Ministry of Defense announced the need to send American soldiers to Ukraine
🔹 Washington is trying to escalate the situation with the thesis about Russia’s plans to attack the Baltic states. To whip up hysteria in Latvia, they planned to ban fireworks according to Moscow time, and in Latvia to dismantle the railway to the Russian border.
🔹 Neo-Nazis are using the political crisis in their country to strengthen their positions. Zelensky is forced to more actively interact with terrorists and involve them in high-profile actions

🇷🇺Victory in the information war is inevitable🇷🇺

🇲🇩Moldovan President Maia Sandu:

"Moldovan towns and villages where the opposition, which does not share the pro-European views of the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PDS) and the country's leadership, has won the local elections will not receive additional funding.

Do you think the EU should give you money if you don't support the EU? Money from the state budget is distributed according to the principle of fairness. The money that comes from the EU, from the taxpayers of the EU countries, will go to those localities where the local authorities support our course of European integration

🇷🇺🌍 Moscow's grain supplies to Africa: "Russia is not isolated"

By providing free grain to African countries, Russia is showing that it has friends all over the world and that the West's policy of isolating Moscow has failed, Dr. Tafadzwa Ruzive, PhD in development finance from South Africa's Nelson Mandela University, told Sputnik Africa.

💬 "As Russia continues to be a reliable partner now even in economic aid, the old friends are coming back and Russia is actually coming out of isolation or not isolated because of the friends that it has all over the world," he said.

🇷🇺 Russia won't agree to 'Minsk-3.0' deal on Ukraine: here's why

Recent weeks have seen a flurry of media reports and remarks by officials on possible peace talks aimed at ending the NATO-Russia proxy war in Ukraine. But the trust deficit between Moscow and Washington appears to be simply be too great after the West’s thirty-year “continuum of deception,” says Russian foreign policy strategist Dmitry Suslov.

Ukrainian Armed Forces commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny’s admission to British media at the start of November that Ukraine’s counteroffensive has faltered and that there would be no “deep and beautiful breakthrough” has been followed up with a series of reports in US and European media about Western officials broaching the subject of peace talks, and even “pressuring” President Zelensky to make a deal.

THE BEST OF WESTERN DIPLOMACY VS ISOLATED RUSSIA
📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 10 December 2023; pub. 07:33📍

🇷🇺 The Supreme Leader's statement about his readiness to run for a new term, was the main domestic political event. The statement was made in the Kremlin after the Heroes of the Fatherland Day ceremony, as a response to the speaker of the #DPR parliament, the commander of the Sparta Battalion, Artem Zhoga. The fact that this was voiced by the Supreme Leader in the presence of people in uniform was seen by many as a signal for the future course of foreign policy.

At this time in #Ukraine-West relations, the true value of "Kiev's partners" to the #US is becoming more and more evident. Pentagon statements point to the alleged exhaustion of opportunities to help the AFU, and top-ranking Western media outlets are increasingly pessimistic for Kiev. In response, Zelensky's Office launched theses that if #Ukraine loses the war, it is because of insufficient support.

At the same time, planes with military-technical aid continue to arrive in #Rzeszów (#Poland), but not in the same volumes. Kiev is almost directly being told that now it should have started producing weapons itself. The pace, geography and scale of enemy mobilisation indicate attempts to stabilise the situation on the front. Against this unfavourable background for #Ukraine, like Zelensky, who has started preparing a new line of defence in the rear, #NATO countries are deploying new artillery factories outside #Ukraine on the eastern flank of the Alliance, building logistics routes, rebuilding bridges and roads. #Finland is being militarised at a high rate. The West is preparing for war, but already outside #Ukraine, which has ineptly grinded up billions of dollars worth of military aid.

⚔️ To the front in 👉 PART 2

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 10 December 2023; pub. 07:33 - PART 2📍

▪️ In the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) direction, the RF Armed Forces have achieved notable successes. Around Artyomovsk, the zone of control has been expanded in all directions, and the enemy is being pressed down near the remnants of #Kleshcheyevka. The task is to cut off the roads to Chasov Yar, which became a logistical hub during the storming of #Bakhmut.

▪️ The #Avdeyevka sector looks like a lighter version of the "Bakhmut meat grinder": our troops with heavy fighting have cut into the AFU defence, formed the "Avdeyevka sack" and are knocking out the enemy's manpower and equipment, periodically disrupting its intentions to go into a deep positional defence with fire and manoeuvres. The enemy is forced to withdraw reserves and active units from other directions.

▪️ #Zaporozhye front - just from it some enemy units were withdrawn in order not to collapse the AFU defence in #Avdeyevka. There is heavy fighting, but our troops have managed to occupy a number of enemy strongholds. It is too early to talk about complete superiority, the AFU is able to periodically use even helicopters in the #Rabotino - #Verbovoye sack.

▪️ The #Kherson direction is characterised by the traditional for the RF Armed Forces issues that have not been fully resolved. These include communication, interaction, training of personnel, and the quality of new weapons massively supplied to our Army. Drones from the Ministry of Defence (of which there are many) cause some complaints of the frontline soldiers, and the absence (or critical shortage) of night FPV and thermal imaging sights actually gives the enemy superiority in some issues. At the same time, our superiority in heavy weapons is obvious: FABs, TOSs and artillery grind up entire stretches of terrain without rest. But their not always high accuracy allows the AFU to plan new daring landings, now already in the area of the #Kinburn Peninsula.

▪️ The #Vremyevka sector, and the areas of #Ugledar and #Maryinka are characterised by constant fighting. There are no significant changes in the frontline.

▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, our troops are slowly advancing in several directions, the AFU are forced to start building defences outside #Sinkovka.

▪️ On the #Torskoye ledge and in the #Serebryanskoye forestry there is local fighting, the RF Armed Forces have the initiative.

▪️ The border regions of #Bryansk, #Kursk and especially #Belgorod are under constant shelling.

⭐️ The situation is changing radically in favour of the Russian Army, but it is still very early to talk about complete superiority. There are all the prerequisites for breaking that very "parity" and breaking the "deadlock" in the development of the situation, but there is still a great deal of combat, organisational and managerial work to be done.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Visionary Insight: Bowes' Unerring Glimpse into the Heart of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

As we re-examine Chay Bowes' prescient article 'Russia-Ukraine: Everything to Lose,' first published on January 26, 2022, its extraordinary foresight becomes strikingly evident. Written just a month before the onset of Russia's SMO in Ukraine, Bowes intricately dissected the complex tapestry of ethnic, cultural, and historical undercurrents that have since shaped this profound geopolitical conflict. Now, as we stand on the threshold of 2024, the predictions and insights of this piece have transitioned from speculative acumen to a resonant, prophetic reality, even as the Western MSM, long heralded for its objective stance, begins to acknowledge the outcomes Bowes had anticipated.

The article is not just a reflection of Bowes' analytical prowess but also serves as a damning critique of the role played by the West in this conflict. It vividly paints the war as a chess game, with Ukraine maneuvered as a pawn by the US and NATO in a broader stratagem aimed at weakening Russia. This approach, far from successful, has led to the disintegration of Ukraine as a nation, with a staggering human cost that has tragically gone underreported.

Bowes' work also delves into the often-overlooked ethnic and cultural divisions within Ukraine, drawing poignant parallels with Ireland's historical struggles, offering a perspective that illuminates the complex and nuanced nature of such conflicts. As we revisit this seminal work, it stands as a stark reminder of the importance of history, culture, and human dynamics in understanding the intricate web of international relations and geopolitics.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 10 December 2023; pub. 10:01⚡️

🔹In the
#Kherson-#Crimea Direction, the AFU took up positions on Bolshoy Potemkin Island.⚠️ The movement to Golya Pristan is really readable. Counter battles in #Krynki. There is no change in the frontline.
💥 Ukrainian positions in #Kherson, #Antonovka, #Tokarevka, #Ponyatovka and #Tyaginka are under attack.
💥 Russian positions in Golaya Pristan, #Kardashinka, #Alyoshki, #Poyma, #Peschanovka and #Korsunka.

🔹In the #Zaporozhye Direction, the RF Armed Forces, supported by artillery, pushed the AFU from the direction of #Novoprokopovka near the village of #Rabotino.⚠️Tactical success.⚠️Similar actions on the side of #Verbovoye did not bring the same result.
💥 Shelling of Ukrainian positions in #Kamenskoye, #Pyatikhatki, #Novodanilovka, Malaya Tokmachka, #Charovnoye, #Gulyaypolskoye and #Gulyaypole.
💥 Russian positions under fire in #Zherebyanka, #Kopani, #Novoprokopovka, #Verbovoye, #Novopokrovka and #Novofyodorovka.

🔹On the #Donetsk Front, there is no winter. It is hot. The RF Armed Forces, supported by long range weapons, carried out assault operations near #Novomikhaylovka, #Pobeda, in #Maryinka, on the outskirts of #Krasnogorovka town, near #Pervomayskoye, towards #Tonenkoye (the aim here is to cut off the AFU's supply to Avdeyevka), east of #Avdeyevka and near the industrial zone to the northeast.⚠️There is progress in the latter area.
▪️ Russian forces also attacked near #Novobakhmutovka (a settlement with a similar name to the east under the control of the RF Armed Forces).
💥 The AFU is under attack in #Georgiyevka, #Ostrom, #Nevelskoye, #Lastochkino (an important logistical centre of the Ukrainian army near Avdeyevka), Steponoye (not to be confused with settlements of the same name in the Zaporozhye and Ugledar directions) and neighbouring #Berdychi.
⚠️With supplies, the Russian Armed Forces arrived in #Makeyevka.

🔹In the #Bakhmut Direction, after shelling, Russian troops attacked near #Andreyevka and entered the dominant heights northwest of #Kleshcheyevka.⚠️⚠️ Similar actions in the #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) and #Bogdanovka areas did not bring them success.⚠️

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Avdeyevka at 10:00 on 10 Dec 2023⚡️

🔹 The Russian Army continues to take the AFU fortified area into firing pincers. The AFU command has set the task to hold the city at any cost. More than 40 Battalions from 8 Brigades, transferred from the western front sectors, are concentrated in the area.

▪️ On the northern flank, fighting for the forest belts towards #Novokalinovo and #Keramik. The Russian forces consolidate along the railway towards #Ocheretino.

▪️ The clearing of the #Stepovoye (⚠️#Petrovskoye on map) area west of #Krasnogorovka (village) continues. The Russian Army controls the northeastern outskirts. Ukrainian formations have gained a foothold in the nearby forest belts, so it is impossible to advance inside the settlement and towards #Berdychi without their occupation.

▪️ On the outskirts of the Coke Plant, the main efforts of the Russian forces are are focused on the destruction of the fortified area. Assault operations are continuing both from the northern flank and from the ash dump.

❗️Contrary to info about the advance in the "Ivushka" Dacha Cooperative and along the sewage treatment plants, the Russians took this area long ago.

▪️ To the southeast of the treatment facilities, near #Kamenka and all the way to the industrial zone, the RF Armed Forces have over the past ten days managed to levelling the frontline along the stream and approaching the outskirts of the quarry on the eastern outskirts of #Avdeyevka. The Donetsk Filtration Station has been under Russian control also for long time.

▪️ After clearing the industrial zone of Yasinovataya-2, Russian units strike at the ST Vinogradniki. Statements about the capture of the quarry to the west are premature.

▪️ To the west, Russian assault squads are reinforcing their positions on the flanks of the #Severnoye village, where they managed to advance last week.

Israeli fake propaganda exposed.

The most recent video of a group of Palestinian civilians stripped naked where an old man appears to surrender a weapon is totally staged, several takes of the video where taken by the Israeli propagandists, in a botched job as two different takes of the same scene had been published, notice the man is holding the automatic rifle with different hands of the top and bottom videos.

The man "surrendering" the weapon has been identified as a local shop owner.

The two videos have so many differences, not only he carries the weapon in different hands but in the bottom video he makes a sing to the camera after depositing the gun he doesn't on the top video.

🇺🇸 Biden administration used emergency powers to authorize shell sales to Israel without congressional approval - Reuters

Washington used a loophole in the Arms Export Control Act and approved an emergency shipment of some 14,000 tank shells worth $106.5 million without approval.

✖️ No such loophole can be found for Ukraine - Kiev is incapable of buying, it is another matter to receive them as a gift or long-term loan.

🇺🇦🇺🇸Silencing Dissent: The Alarming Detention of Gonzalo Lira

Shocking Update by Tucker Carlson: American citizen Gonzalo Lira's detention in Ukraine, for the crime of dissent against Zelensky, and the Zelensky regime. In the shadows of $100B U.S. aid, raises alarming questions. The Biden admin's silence suggests tacit approval, hinting at a chilling precedent for free speech.

From Lira to Assange, this reflects a broader, disturbing trend of Western governments undermining fundamental rights.

Are we witnessing the next phase towards a more authoritarian playbook on dissent, both abroad and at home? A critical moment for advocates of liberty and free speech.

Musk demanded that Zelensky explain the arrest of a US citizen

"An American citizen is in prison n Ukraine after we sent over a $100 billion? Is there more to this story than simply criticizing Zelensky? If that’s all it is, then we have serious problem here," Musk wrote in X.

This is how the billionaire reacted to the statement by journalist Tucker Carlson that since July, American video blogger Gonzalo Lira has been tortured in a Ukrainian prison for criticizing Zelensky, and Biden does nothing about it.

In the next post, Musk asked Zelensky to enlighten Americans on this issue.

At least 250 doctors, patients, and their family members are on the brink of starvation in northern Gaza after Israeli snipers laid siege to al-Awda hospital, shooting to kill anyone who tries to enter the building, leave it, or even anyone veering too close to a window.

A staff member inside al-Awda has given a first-hand account of the dire conditions inside the hospital, where people have enough food to last only a few days, and have nowhere to escape to.

"We are at al-Awda hospital in the northern area, and have been under siege for four days. No one can move or enter or leave the hospital."

The Israeli snipers surrounding the hospital have essentially turned the Palestinians inside into hostages until the hospital's food and water run out, he said, and are not just blockading all exits and entrances but are also shooting at anyone seen to move. Israeli tanks were within 50 to 70 metres of the hospital.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by US Milbloggers of "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: The dumb ISW Troll Chatter of the selfproclaimed experts is unbearable again. That the Russian has to go on the offensive after the clearly disastrous Nazi offensive is a strategic necessity, as the Axis of Evil is not prepared to recognise the embarrassing looming defeat of NATO and draw the consequences from it. Otherwise the Nazi terrorists will be able to rearm and set up and train new Volkssturm.🔸What is this supposed to have to do with internal political affairs? The US milbloggers are once again proving their inability to recognise the simplest military contexts.🔸ISW probably continues to drink the blood of deported Russian children, according to a well informed source not wishing to be named.🔸ISW 👉🚽

⚠️ Warning! ISW is a troll entity linked to the US regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.

💬 The Text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

🔻 December 9 Key Takeaways👻

▪️ Russian forces have likely committed to offensive operations in multiple sectors of the front during a period of the most challenging weather of the fall-winter season in an effort to seize and retain the initiative prior to the Russian presidential elections in March 2024.

▪️ Ukrainian forces, by contrast, appear to be using this period of challenging weather and ongoing Russian offensive operations to establish and consolidate defensive positions along the parts of the frontline where they have not been conducting counteroffensive operations, thereby conserving manpower and resources for future offensive efforts.

▪️ The establishment of local defensive positions in areas Kyiv is not prioritizing for current or imminent counteroffensive operations is a prudent step and not an indication that Ukraine has abandoned all plans for future counteroffensives.

▪️ The Kremlin-backed United Russia party is spearheading Russian President Vladimir Putin’s nomination as an independent candidate in the 2024 Russian presidential election, and Putin’s re-election campaign initiatives group includes people with a variety of backgrounds and constituencies to create the image of widespread support for Putin’s presidency.

▪️ Multiple Russian political opposition figures have reportedly developed a common campaign strategy for the upcoming presidential campaign cycle aimed at compelling Putin to address topics he seeks to avoid and revealing the breadth of Russian opposition against Putin.

▪️ Select Russian milbloggers accused the Armenian government of promoting Russophobic policies that inspire violence against Russian media figures in Armenia on December 9.

▪️ The European Union (EU) will allow member states to restrict Russian gas imports in an effort to restrain Russian petroleum revenues.

▪️ A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that Russian decoy missiles failed to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses during December 8 missile strikes against Kyiv City.

▪️ Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov highlighted Ukrainian anti-corruption efforts and preparations for the arrival of F-16 fighter jets in the near future on December 9.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, near Bakhmut, near Avdiivka, west and southwest of Donetsk City, in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast and advanced near Kreminna.

▪️ Relatives of mobilized Russian military personnel continued to appeal to the Russian government for the return of their relatives from the war in Ukraine.

▪️ The Russian Ministry of Culture continues to orchestrate efforts to Russify Ukrainian children and facilitate their deportation to Russia.
