🇽🇰🇷🇸 Escalation in Serbia, Kosovo and Metohija
Situation at 20:00 December 11, 2022

After yesterday's aggravation in Kosovo and Metohija, the Pristina authorities decided to postpone the snap elections to April 30. However, the situation in the region remains tense. And there is every chance that tonight it will get out of hand.

▪️ According to the Kosovo media, another explosion sounded in Kosovska Mitrovica last night.

▪️ Kosovo special forces ROSU continued their provocations. In the afternoon, armed Albanians broke into the administrative building on the Gazivode reservoir. After questioning the security guard, the security forces tore off all the Serbian flags from the building. According to local sources, a strong point is being created on the spot.

❗️ At the same time, the presence of Kosovo special forces in the Gazivode region is a direct violation of the Brussels agreements concluded in 2013 between Belgrade and Pristina.

▪️ Border checkpoints Yarinje and Brnjak remain closed for entry and exit.

▪️ Despite bad weather conditions and heavy rain, the Kosovo Serbs spent the whole night at the erected barricades in the Rudare area. During the day, more and more citizens arrived at the site of the spontaneous protest. Many of them pitched tents and stocked up on firewood for heating.

▪️ Serbs also went to mass protests in Zvecan and Zubin Potok.

❗️ The authorities of the self-proclaimed republic announced that the Serbs must dismantle the barricades and leave the gathering places by 19:00 (21:00 Moscow time). Otherwise, the Kosovo police and ROSU special forces will use force to disperse the demonstrators. Pristina also informed the representatives of the Quinta countries about this.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has scheduled an emergency meeting of the Security Council for 19:00. Units of the Serbian army are concentrated on the line of demarcation. According to some Serbian resources, the country's armed forces have been put on high alert.

The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, calls on Kosovo Serbs to dismantle the barricades. However, judging by sources from Kosovo and Metohija and footage from the scene, residents of Serbian municipalities do not intend to leave them.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 #Kherson direction
situation as of 13.00 December 18, 2022

In the #Kherson direction, Ukrainian formations are reconnaissance of the positions of the RF Armed Forces on the left bank of the #Dnieper. After the transfer of a significant part of the regular units to other sectors of the front, the probability of forcing the river in the #Kherson region is extremely low.

The efforts of the Ukrainian formations are focused on opening the position of the Russian army and pinpoint strikes on ammunition depots and personnel deployment points.

🔻The enemy, with the help of drones and informers on the territory liberated by the Russian Armed Forces, is monitoring the activities of Russian troops and the location of rear supply facilities with the help of 61 ombr and 131 separate reconnaissance battalions.

▪️Along the coastline of the #Dnieper from Nizhny Rogachik to Nova Kakhovka, 17 commercial UAVs have been observed over the past day - 12 Mavic-3 units and five Matrix-300 units.

In addition, an EOS C-VTOL vertical take-off drone operated in the vicinity of Golaya Pristan and #Rybalcha, and in the #Posad-Pokrovsky area, specialists from the Aerorazvedka industrial organization are testing the next batch of R-18 UAVs.

🔻There are practically no full-time units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the #Kherson region: the defense of the right bank is mainly entrusted to the territorial defense forces and employees of the state border service.

Nevertheless, the increased activity of reconnaissance units along the Dnieper in the #Zaporozhye region indicates possible attempts to bring the DRG to the left bank to carry out sabotage in the rear of the RF Armed Forces. Especially against the backdrop of the preparation of the Ukrainian offensive against #Tokmok.

▪️ From the vicinity of Bogdanovka, Krasny, Khromovo, Ukrainian assault detachments continue to attempt a counteroffensive to preserve the ground corridor from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar and Kostyantynivka.

▪️ Advanced ammunition depots are being equipped in two localities and personnel are being deployed, and reinforcements have been deployed to the cities themselves.

▪️ Additional fortifications have been created in the vicinity of Nikiforovka and Minkovka, as well as ditches and trenches have been dug. Construction materials are delivered daily to the area of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

🇺🇸🌍 The US military influence in Africa
Part 1 – Military bases

Recently we’ve covered the theme of the UK’s influence in Africa. But it would be wrong not to talk about the ever-growing US military presence on the continent, which already exceeds that of Britain and France.

🔻After the end of the World War 2 the USA were quick to replace the UK and France as leaders not only in the western world, but also in Africa. However, up until the end of Cold War the continent was mostly viewed as a field for proxy wars with the USSR, and the United States policy was to support the pro-Western forces.

▪️After the dissolution of the Soviet Union the overall interest towards Africa lowered, because the only influential enemy just disappeared. But the 9/11 changed the situation drastically. The theme of terrorism became one of the main in the US international strategy. Whether it is true concern or just a mean to satisfy interests in certain regions, the fact remains that the US military presence greatly increased, and Africa was not an exception.

🔻Since 9/11, the US military has built a sprawling network of outposts in more than a dozen African countries. Officially, it is done so to battle the terrorism. Unofficially, goals also involve suppressing the growing influence of foreign nations, like Russia and China, and influencing African nations to make them more controllable to satisfy political and economic interests.

▪️The full footprint of the United States AFRICOM bases is hard to grasp, since some military facilities the US government tries not to reveal. However, as of now there are 26 active military bases (another one is planned to be established in the Kingdom of Morocco) and also US military personnel is present in 4 UN peacekeeping operations’ bases.

▪️The highest concentrations of the AFRICOM bases are in the Sahelian states on the west side of the continent, as well as in the Horn of Africa in the east. The AFRICOM is actively seeking to enhance its presence and is primed for expansion in the future. Some African states are positive about these bases, since the United States still provide some security to the states and help battle terrorism, like in Somalia, although not so actively.

🔻Despite some improvements, the situation in many countries that host US military personnel remains harsh. At the same time, the USA successfully preserves its influence and interest on the continent, although encountering competition from Russia, China and Turkey. The United States interests in Africa are growing, as the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit 2022 indicated, and in trying to satisfy them they will continue to increase military presence

However, having only military bases does not mean a full projection of military power on region. For that special operations are also needed, which is a topic for another post, so stay tuned for part 2.

🇳🇪 Major Pipeline projects and coup d'état in Niger

Since the coup in Niger took place, many Western and African nations stared to voice their concern regarding many things: uranium and other resources import from Niger, airspace closure and elongated fly time to and from some countries in different parts of Africa, threat of a second Great war of Africa and deterioration of situation with terrorism, etc.

🔻One of such concerns was voiced regarding the major oil and gas pipeline projects that cross the Nigerien territory or start there. Such major projects are Niger-Benin oil pipeline, Niger-Chad oil pipeline (that connects to the Chad-Cameroon pipeline) and Trans-Saharan gas pipeline. ECOWAS and Western nations were first to voice their concerns with the fate of these projects.

However, just like with the uranium (which continues to be exported from Niger and companies like Orano continue their work in the republic) the situation with pipelines remains the same no matter the coup.

▪️With Niger-Benin pipeline everything is clear. The Benin government itself told that Niger-Benin oil pipeline is not impacted by sanctions, the projects was not abandoned and is still under construction. The most recent news indicate that the pipeline is ready for 75% and should be finished soon.

▪️The situation with Niger-Chad and Trans-Saharan pipelines is different. Many western outlets started to cry that projects are under threat of being canceled. Which is funny, because even before the coup the fate of these projects was a mystery.

The Niger-Chad pipeline is presumed to be shelved, because there were no news since 2019. And in 2019 Chad authorities informed that the project, most likely, was stopped in favour of Niger-Benin pipeline. The official explanation given for the project's "cancellation" was concerns about attacks by Boko Haram in the Lake Chad area.

With the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline the situation almost the same, except that the project was and is in work. The idea of the Trans-Saharan pipeline was first proposed in the 1970s. In 2000s the preparations to build it began. However latest news are from autumn of 2022. And they were about the singing of memorandum of understanding between Nigeria, Niger and Algeria. So the project remained quite vague even before the coup. And there's no confirmation of its cancelation.

🔻All in all, these "concerns" about the major pipeline projects are just another attempt to pressure Niger's military authorities to take a more favorable position in the international relations in order to bargain for better terms with the junta.

The same as with the situation with "invasion" or concerns of toppled president Bazoum's health.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ On the Activation of the Russian Army in Certain Areas of the Front⚡️

🔹Amid the serious escalation
of the situation in the Middle East, events in #Ukraine have fallen out of sight. The Goodwill Revenge team, speaking about the activation of the RF Armed Forces in several parts of the front, noted an important feature.

🗓 Since Monday, our troops have managed to confidently recapture 6.2 km² of territory with localised attacks without using large resources. And the enemy, having many thousands of reserves and supplies of Western equipment, has occupied only 260 km² since May, according to LostArmour.

▪️ Indeed, some units of the RF Armed Forces have launched a counterattack. This is not a full scale offensive, but a movement to occupy more favourable lines. Thus, the front came into motion near #Kupyansk, #Makeyevka, #Bakhmut, in the #Donetsk direction, near #Maryinka, in the #Vremyevka sector, and even in the #Pologi sector.

❗️It is too early to talk about the results. But such tactics look justified.

▪️ The RF Armed Forces are delivering sharp blows, searching for the least defended area and stretching the enemy's defence. This is despite the fact that the AFU has fewer and fewer resources (they still have them, but each time the potential decreases).

📌 Particular attention should be paid to a certain stupor in the Ukrainian media environment. Immediately after the start of events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone, Ukraine seemed to fall into prostration due to a lack of understanding of what needed to be done. Zelensky’s lackluster statements are proof of this.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Vremivka sector: ongoing positional struggle and front stagnation situation as of 10:00, October 21, 2023

In the Vremyevsky sector of the front, a state of balance has emerged: neither side can gain the upper hand or achieve success. Both the Russian Armed Forces and the AFU make daily attempts to advance and capture each other's positions.

▪️ Russian units are gradually making progress north of Priyutnoye, expanding the buffer zone at a rate of a few hundred meters per day. The AFU is counterattacking, aiming to seize strategically important heights between Priyutny and Staromayorsky.

▪️ Ukrainian formations are successfully preventing Russian troops from advancing to the south and east of Urozhainy. However, the Russian Armed Forces have repeatedly disrupted the rotation of enemy units.

▪️ Both the Novodonetske and Novomayorsky areas are currently not attempting any advances.

🔻Combat operations in this area have now taken on the nature of situational positional warfare following the withdrawal of Ukrainian marine brigades towards the Kherson direction. At this stage, neither side can gain an advantage, so no significant breakthroughs are expected in the coming days.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Svatove sector of the front: Russian Armed Forces offensive from Vladimirovka
Situation as of 10:00, January 19, 2024

🔻In recent months, military operations in the Svatove sector of the front and the eastern part of the Kharkov region have either been unsuccessful attempts to capture Sinkovka, or a positional struggle for the left bank of the Zherebets River.

Yesterday, the fighting in this area intensified.

▪️ On January 18, after a mass artillery strike, Russian troops launched an offensive from Vladimirovka towards Krakhmalny and Tabaevka.

▪️ After crossing the railway, units of the Russian Armed Forces managed to advance up to half a kilometer to the west, gaining control of the N-26 highway.

▪️ The battered forces of the 103rd territorial defense AFU are defending in this area, so the Russian troops did not encounter significant resistance.

📌The goal of the offensive in this area is not just a positional struggle, but to gain access to the Oskol River in order to further facilitate the advance near Kupiansk and along the Zherebets River.

🔻In neighboring areas, there have been no significant changes:

▪️ In the village of Novoselovskoye, Russian troops still control the western end of the destroyed settlement, without moving west.

▪️ There are no active offensive operations yet in the east of Borovaya; Russian troops are located on the outskirts of the village. Nadiya.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Battle for Gaza: Hamas returns
situation as of January 27, 2023

🔻A report by the Israeli command on the return of administrative control by Hamas militants in the northern and central parts of the Gaza Strip began to spread in the Israeli media today. However, such statements actually seem somewhat different.

▪️After the withdrawal of part of the Israeli forces from the battle line in the north of the enclave, the old life in Gaza partially returned: the number of people on the streets increased and some municipal institutions resumed their work in the city itself. .

However, any civil institution in the Gaza Strip is directly related to Hamas, so the resumption of work of even a medical or public service organization can be presented precisely as “the return of administrative control to Hamas.”

▪️At the same time, Palestinian formations from time to time carry out raids on the positions of IDF units in the areas of At-Tufah, Al-Sheikh Ijlin, Al-Sheikh Radwan, as well as north and east of Jabaliya. However, the success of such attacks is mostly manifested only in the Internet space.

▪️Israeli troops have refused to advance deeper into urban areas, while attacks on targets in several areas of Gaza continue on a regular basis. Palestinian forces also launch missiles, but those attacks are usually successfully repelled by air defense systems.

📌In fact, a kind of “status quo” is still maintained in Gaza, when the remaining IDF units there do not seek to assault development, and the Palestinians simply do not have the strength or capabilities for major counterattacks.

At the same time, statements about the return of administrative control to Hamas are aimed primarily at the Israeli public as a justification for the need to continue the ground operation, as well as to prepare the population for the possible return of reservists to the north of the Strip. from Gaza.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Slobozhansky direction: landing, battles west of Kozinka and preparation of the AFU for a new attack situation at the end of March 14, 2024

🔻The most active part of the front remains in the Grayvoron region. Ukrainian forces are persistently attacking to enter border settlements in the Belgorod region.

▪️ Throughout the day, movements and concentrations of AFU units were observed in Bolshaya Pisarevka, Popovka, Lukashovka, Aleksandrovka, and Shostka. From the scale of forces involved, it's evident that the enemy is actively preparing for offensive actions.

▪️ The Air Force's army aviation is also engaged, with one helicopter successfully landing a group in an open field on the state border near Kozinka. The enemy group attempted to advance towards the Church of the Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian. This location offers numerous opportunities for capturing TikTok reporting videos due to the many notable buildings.

Despite the hype and panic in the RU segment of Telegram, the reality was much harsher for the Ukrainian forces.

❗️Following the battle, the Ukrainian landing force was pushed back, and Russian Armed Forces reserves were deployed to the area. The 2nd MRD forces are currently engaging in a counter battle along the entire line of contact.

▪️ Ukrainian army aviation is operating from a landing site at the partially bombed civilian airport in Kharkov (several aircraft are permanently stationed there).

▪️ Simultaneously, the enemy continues artillery attacks, shelling Belgorod and other settlements in the region with cannon and rocket artillery, as well as deploying drones. Throughout the day, one civilian was killed, and over a dozen were injured.

❗️All indications suggest that the AFU are gearing up for a major attack shortly, aiming to disrupt the upcoming presidential elections.

These actions align with the Kyiv regime's penchant for PR campaigns and are often difficult to justify logically given the clear disparity between their results and costs.

📌It is worth mentioning another concerning point: in recent days, it has been highlighted that, unlike the spring 2023 attack, the AFU have not achieved any significant media success this time.

However, certain biased domestic resources and media outlets suddenly emerged to support them, quickly publicizing the landing in Kozinka as if it were an operation in Gostomel. This, undoubtedly, fueled rumors in Grayvoron and spread panic.
❗️It is disheartening that even after two years of conflict, some individuals fail to grasp the dynamics of information warfare.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Concentration of Enemy Forces and Arrival of Reinforcements for the Russian Armed Forces
What is known as of 1:00 pm on August 9, 2024

Throughout the night and morning, Ukrainian formations continued to dig in on the occupied part of the Kursk Region, while simultaneously transferring forces to the sector for further attempts to advance deeper into Russian territory.

🔻In the Sudzha District, the presence of Ukrainian formations is recorded in Honcharivka - the western suburb of Sudzha. As of the morning, the presence of the AFU in the administrative center itself has not been detected.

▪️Northeast of Sudzha, an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group entered the village of Russkoye Porechnoye: small arms fire and impacts were reported in the vicinity of the settlement.

▪️On the southern flank, the main clashes took place in Plekhovo on the left bank of the small Psel River. Skirmishes with mobile AFU groups are ongoing in the area of the village, and a Ukrainian tank is firing on the village.

🔻In the Korenevo District, Ukrainian formations did not attempt a breakthrough: there were no battles near Korenevo as of the morning, but explosions continued to be heard near the village.

▪️Russian units counterattacked in the direction of Malaya Loknya. At the moment, clashes continue, and air and artillery strikes are being delivered on the identified enemy positions.

▪️Overnight, the AFU struck a Russian column near Oktyabr'skoye east of Rylsk with HIMARS MLRS. Later, FSB officers quickly identified and detained a 48-year-old local resident who deliberately filmed the results of the impact and passed them on to Ukrainian media resources.

The Russian command continues to redeploy forces to the Korenevo and Sudzha Districts - observers confirm a significantly increased presence of troops in the area where there were virtually none just a few days ago. At the same time, the configuration of the front line is partially obscured by the "fog of war" due to a shortage of objective control personnel and persistent problems with command and control.

📌 Russian troops have also increased the intensity of strikes on the border areas of the Sumy Region, where a significant concentration of Ukrainian forces remains. According to local authorities, the Russian Aerospace Forces have dropped over a hundred gliding bombs on the region in the last two days alone.

At the same time, the situation in the region was recognized by the Russian EMERCOM as a federal-level emergency situation, and the elimination of its consequences will be mainly financed from the federal budget.

❗️However, it is still too early to draw conclusions about the stabilization of the situation - fighting in the Kursk Region continues, the enemy is introducing new forces and still has the ability to strike in another area of the state border. At the same time, the AFU is digging in on the captured frontiers, and the Russian troops arriving in the sector will have to dislodge them from there.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: New Attempts of AFU Attacks
What is known as of 6:00 PM on August 10, 2024

Ukrainian formations continue to entrench themselves in the occupied part of the Kursk Region and are making attempts to advance deeper into Russian territory. The situation remains tense, although it has somewhat stabilized compared to previous days.

🔻In the Sudzha District, two Ukrainian tanks are firing from the vicinity of Honcharivka towards the eastern part of Sudzha. Earlier, there were reports of the Russian Armed Forces clearing the center and western outskirts of the city, but much of what is happening there is shrouded in the "fog of war".

Moreover, to fully control Sudzha, it is necessary to dislodge Ukrainian formations from the western outskirts and approaches - otherwise, the AFU will continue to shell the city and carry out sorties.

▪️On the southern flank, an enemy sabotage group has infiltrated the village of Plekhovo again: according to incoming information, AFU members have opened fire on civilians and are occupying homes.

▪️At the same time, Russian troops continue to strike with artillery and air power the positions and objects of the enemy both in the occupied part of the Kursk Region and in the neighboring Sumy Region. One of the hits was on the AFU's location in the children's camp "Kolosok" north of the village of Huyevo.

There is also unconfirmed information about the enemy's use of chlorine-filled ammunition, as a result of which the victims have breathing difficulties and symptoms of toxic substance poisoning.

🔻In the Korenevo District, the configuration of the front has become somewhat clearer: the presence of Ukrainian formations was recorded north of Lyubimovka. There they hold positions in forest areas, the largest of which is the Kultura tract.

▪️In Korenevo itself, the situation remains relatively calm, and the Internet even publishes footage of Russian servicemen at the entrance to the village.

▪️There is also a video of the destruction of a Ukrainian armored group of up to 15 armored vehicles in the forest southeast of the village of Kauchuk, which was heading towards Lgov.

Against the backdrop of the lack of successful AFU actions, Ukrainian media are increasingly spreading hastily created "evidence" of their presence in various settlements, as well as using archival videos from 2022 with strikes on Russian convoys. Similarly, they present videos of the capture of border guards filmed on the first day as today's footage.
