May 20 - anniversary of Mariupol liberation

Exactly one year ago, on 20 May, the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol was completely liberated and the mass surrender of Azov battalion fighters ended - about 2.5 thousand Nazis laid down their arms in a few days. That was essentially the end of the liberation of Mariupol.

An incredible military operation in which Russian troops, smaller in numbers than the Mariupol garrison, were able not only to surround and take the city, but to do so with losses many times less than the enemy!

After the liberation and after such a long time, Mariupol was unrecognisable:
Public transport is up and running and even trams are running;
There is mobile communication;
More than half of the schools were rebuilt;
As of early May 2023, there is water and electricity in all districts of the city;
In the vicinity of Mariupol, in any direction, all roads and bridges within a radius of a hundred kilometres were restored;
The destroyed houses are gradually being replaced by new ones.
Today there are already 300 thousand people living in Mariupol and there will only be more.

The Ukrainian regime is gasping with anger as it sees the city being rebuilt and peaceful life returning to it - last night and this morning Ukrainian armed formations shelled the outskirts of Mariupol.

However, Mariupol lives and will live!

The Netherlands is canceling a deal to sell 28 F-16 fighter jets to Draken International.

The first part of the contract for the supply of 40 aircraft was completed last year, the second part was canceled, just against the backdrop of increasingly persistent rhetoric about sending fighters to Kyiv.

At the same time, a number of Western analysts believe that the first F-16s may be in Ukraine by August. For the same purpose, there are active injections, which will take 3-4 months for Ukrainian pilots to master new equipment. In fact, this is a preventive legalization of Western "retirees" at the controls of fighter jets.

๐ŸŽ™ Response speech by Head of the Russian delegation and Permanent Delegate of the Russian Federation to UNESCO Rinat Alyautdinov at a plenary meeting of the 216th session of the UNESCO Executive Board

Read in full

๐Ÿ“ Paris, May 16, 2023

๐Ÿ’ฌ Iโ€™ll start with the strike on Kiev, which the Ukrainian representative mentioned. He didnโ€™t mention that it was a military facility that came under attack, and the fact that Ukrainian artillery fired shells daily at cities in the Donetsk Peopleโ€™s Republic and the Lugansk Peopleโ€™s Republic; people, including children, were being killed and cultural, historical and religious sites were being destroyed.

In the DPR and the LPR alone, 103 such sites have been destroyed or damaged, including theatres, religious buildings, and monasteries. The representative of Ukraine failed to mention the fact that on May 3, Kiev launched a premeditated attack on the Moscow Kremlin which, in addition to being the President of Russiaโ€™s residence, is included on the World Heritage List.

The Ukrainian representative failed to mention that Kievโ€™s state policy includes the glorification of Nazism. Hitlerโ€™s henchmen are cast as fighters for Ukrainian independence, streets are renamed in their honour, and monuments are built to commemorate them.

<โ€ฆ>

โ—๏ธ According to UNESCO, not a single site on the World Heritage List was damaged in Ukraine during Russiaโ€™s special military operation. The coordinates of these sites were provided by ICOMOS Russia to our Armed Forces in advance. The Defence Ministry of Ukraine refuses to provide UNESCO with written guarantees that it will not use cultural sites and contiguous grounds for military purposes.

<โ€ฆ>

Madam Chairperson, we are convinced that the โ€œend-to-endโ€ Ukrainisation of UNESCOโ€™s agenda and using this platform for addressing fleeting geopolitical issues that are imposed on it by a minority of member states is harmful to UNESCO.
โœˆ๏ธ About the activity of Ukrainian aviation

Today, the countries of the West actually decided to transfer F-16 fighters to Ukraine as soon as possible. We wrote about the likelihood of such a scenario back in early April, after the start of recruitment of foreign pilots in Poland.

The appearance of the first F-16s should be expected towards the end of the summer, given the published report of the Americans that Ukrainian pilots will be able to undergo a forced training course within four months.

However, the document itself is more like creating a convenient legend than a real description of the flight personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Some of the most experienced crews were destroyed during the SMO, and the enemy Air Force had an acute shortage of personnel.

The statement about the high level of training of Ukrainians will allow the use of foreign pilots under the guise of citizens of Ukraine in the near future.

๐Ÿ”ปFighters will most likely be handed over after the summer campaign of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the start of which was postponed several times. At the same time, even now the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a fleet of aircraft to support the offensive.

According to some reports, in recent weeks, more than 50 different aircraft have been observed over the territory of western and central Ukraine, including combat training aircraft, which are based mainly in the west or north of the country.

After the active phase of the fighting, depending on its outcome, it will be clear how soon and in what quantity American fighters will appear in Ukraine.

โž– In the city itself, supported by artillery, the Wagner PMC conducted assault actions in the last AFU-controlled quarter on the southwestern outskirts. The "Orchestrators" claimed to have established full control over #Bakhmut.
๐Ÿ’ฅ Russian forces shelled #Predtechino, #Stupochki, Chasov Yar, #Khromovo, #Bogdanovka, #Grigorovka, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, #Vasyukovka, #Fedorovka, #Spornoye and #Verkhnekamenskoye. (Fig. 2)

๐Ÿ”น In the #Luhansk Direction, the RF Armed Forces, supported by artillery, attacked near #Belogorovka, #Nevskoye, #Makeyevka and #Stelmakhovka. They were unsuccessful.

Tired of looking at fakes with old photos supposedly from Cyprus in an expensive resort during the preparation of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to my spies, General Zaluzhny was seriously wounded in early May during a missile attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters near Pavlograd in the Dnepropetrovsk region. Several serious surgical operations were carried out after which, if he survives, he will definitely not be able to properly administer the army. Western masters forbade Ukrainian clowns to talk about this, so that it would not affect the morale of Ukrainian soldiers before the offensive, because he enjoys undeniable authority and love among soldiers and officers. Everyone understands that without him there is no chance of success for the Ukrainian army, and any offensive will be mass suicide.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง About Storm Shadow Strikes in #Mariupol and #Berdyanskโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฅ The AFU
continue to strike in the rear of Russian new territories with British Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Over the past two days, objects on the territory of the #Mariupol and #Berdyansk airfields have been subjected to fire damage.

The AFU is tasked with thinning out Russian aviation, hence the choice of targets. In the cities located on the shore of the Sea of Azov, the targets were the objects of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Yes, the enemy failed to inflict effective fire damage. In #Berdyansk, the mass meal in the dining hall was already over at the time of the impact.

But this speaks, first of all, about the approach. The curators (the expenditure of Storm Shadow on targets is under strict control from the British) set out to reduce the flight capabilities of the RF Armed Forces. If we take into account ๐Ÿ‘‰ the data about the current number of aircraft in the Air Force and the imminent delivery of Western flight equipment, it can be concluded that one of the goals of the AFU will be to gain air supremacy this year.

๐Ÿ“Œ It is possible and necessary to defend against Storm Shadows. We cannot say with certainty how well Russian air defense systems cope with British cruise missiles. But we know that the dispersal of equipment and the relocation of headquarters and control points to reserve positions in non obvious places are the best precautions.

๐Ÿ‘ How are the Successes in the DPR to be secured without Wagner?

โš”๏ธ Regardless
of whether the counteroffensive has already started or not. In the #Soledar (#Bakhmut) direction, we had recently, including yesterday's attack north of #Khromovo, 8 major advance actions with territorial gains for the Ukrop. These are only the larger actions that have been reported. Some lost positions could be recaptured as yesterday, only again it was the musicians.

๐Ÿช– Which Troops are to replace the "Wagnerians"? Heavy attacks are threatening in all front sectors. The Ukrop has only in the Soledar direction probably almost as many troops as the entire SMO force of the Russians (a bit less). The whole Wagner force is not rotatable with similar combat ready units.

๐ŸŽป Prigozhin knows this too, and it is not to be assumed that he wants to lightly jeopardise the successes achieved with a lot of blood toll. On the other hand, MoD is dependent on him. What Prigozhin's announcements are worth, we have recently seen in the ammunition issue.

๐Ÿ“Œ Despite several Expert Statements claiming that Wagner will leave as announced, I assume that Wagner will stay and Prigozhin's influence will continue to grow.

โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ’ฉ Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by US Milbloggers of "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

๐Ÿคฅ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ: The Commander, General Zaluzhny (name missing in the Troll report) was seriously injured. Then the Ukrop kept him hidden, after which rumours of his death arose. Why must the ISW rabble constantly lie and spread troll shit. Can they not even remain objective in a simple matter? If you act like that, you don't buy anything, even if it should be right. Wasn't it the day before yesterday that the bloggers claimed that there was no confirmation of territorial gains in Bakhmut? We can also do without the dumb text modules. We want to be informed about the results from the other side's point of view. ISW ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿšฝ

โš ๏ธ 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.

๐Ÿ’ฌ The Text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

๐Ÿ”ป May 20 Key Takeaways ๐Ÿ‘ป

โ–ช๏ธ Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin declared victory in Bakhmut City on May 20 and announced his intent to withdraw from the city on May 25.

โ–ช๏ธ Prigozhinโ€™s claimed victory over the remaining areas in Bakhmut is purely symbolic even if true.

โ–ช๏ธ Ukrainian forces continue pressuring Bakhmutโ€™s northern and southern flanks.

โ–ช๏ธ Wagner forces are unlikely to successfully conduct a controlled withdrawal from Bakhmut while in contact with Ukrainian forces within five days without disrupting the Russian MoDโ€™s efforts to prepare for planned Ukrainian counteroffensives.

โ–ช๏ธ Russian conventional forces likely will still need to transfer additional forces to the Bakhmut direction even if Wagner mercenaries remain in Bakhmut.

โ–ช๏ธ Russian forces targeted Kyiv Oblast with Iranian-made Shahed drones on the night of May 19 to 20.

โ–ช๏ธ US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated on May 20 that the United States may agree to transfer modern combat aircraft to Ukraine, including the F-16, on the condition that Ukraine does not use them to strike Russian territory.

โ–ช๏ธ Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar reported that Russian sources are falsely alleging that high-ranking Ukrainian military commanders have recently died, likely to demoralize Ukrainian forces and to portray Russian forces as constraining Ukrainian counteroffensive capabilities.

โ–ช๏ธ Russian forces continued limited ground attacks in the Kreminna area.

โ–ช๏ธ Russian forces continued to conduct ground attacks on the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line.

โ–ช๏ธ The Washington Post reported on May 19 that a Ukrainian commander stated that Ukrainian Special Operations forces conduct raids in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast but that Ukrainian forces do not hold stable positions there.

โ–ช๏ธ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is incorporating mobilized and conscripted personnel into its own โ€œVeteranyโ€ private military company (PMC), leading to discrimination and conflict.

โ–ช๏ธ A Lithuanian official publicly accused Russia of attempting to hold international children hostage in occupied Crimea as โ€œhuman shieldsโ€ against a future Ukrainian counteroffensive.
