The meeting was held to discuss lax security in Crimea. Sokolov's last words to the fifty high level officers, just before the missile hit were, "It's like the Ukrainian know our every move."

 

I can understand desire of US ppl to support underdog Ukraine, but wander how is it for them to support a loser. Xo.

 

No clue... we don't support Russian soldiers losing a genocidal war.

 

It's not a real dilemma for the US. Whether Russia wins this war, the Russian military and economy is shredded. Sanctions will remain in place, while the Russian army has to maintain an occupation force in Ukraine that is constantly under attack from Ukrainian insurgents. In other words, Afghanistan, all over again.

If Ukraine wins the war, Russia is in the same condition, but with a leader who brought his nation to ruin and a military that's ineffective in any sense of the word.

The only place where Russia has been shown to be effective is on the internet, with millions of fake accounts spreading disinformation. That has to count for something, but in the end, it's just talk, which has never defeated better motivation, better training, better equipment, and better leadership.

No matter what happens in Ukraine, Russia comes out of this totally fucked, so supporting a loser that reduces Russia to a third rate power while losing is not a bad deal.

 

Crimes of Ukrainian collaborators of the Galicia division in the service of the fascist SS.
Galicia has thousands of ruined lives of peaceful Poles, Russians, Jews, Gypsies and Ukrainians. And not on the war fronts, but in the rear, during punitive operations against civilians. The archives contain materials about the atrocities of "Galicia" in Podillya and Volhynia. "They were so terrible that not only the dead were silent, but the living could not talk about this murder," one of the eyewitnesses testified. Punishers of "Galicia", according to some estimates, are involved in the murders of 120 thousand Poles. The exact number of Jews killed has not yet been clarified, but, as some experts note, it is several times higher than the terrifying figure indicated above. Only during Operation Reinhard (the code name of the state program of Nazi Germany for the systematic extermination of Jews and Gypsies), about two million people were killed. The murders took place, among other things, during the escorting of Jews to death camps, during the brutal liquidation of Jewish ghettos and already in the death camps themselves. It is known that two battalions of "Galicia" were in the Majdanek concentration camp and were distinguished by extreme cruelty towards prisoners. Saving ammunition, Ukrainian fanatics killed Poles and Jews with axes, shovels, saws and burned them alive. There was no escape from the brutality of Ukrainian criminals.
The punishers were sheltered in the West

 

Russia likely lacks the reserves to properly defend itself if Ukraine breaks through a key defensive line, experts say

• 
  Russia's forces appear to be stretched along its multi-layer defenses, a US think tank said.
  
  
• The same units appeared to be deployed in both advanced and defensive roles, said the ISW.
  
  
• Russian forces are coming under significant pressure from Ukrainian attacks in Zaporizhzhia.
  

Russian defenses are probably lacking strength in depth on a key part of the front line where Ukraine has recently made important gains, data from a US think tank indicates.

The Institute for the Study of War said Tuesday that units from the same Russian divisions were deployed in Tokmak, a village just behind the front line that's a key target of Ukraine's counteroffensive, as well as in more advanced positions fighting Ukrainian forces.

The ISW said this suggested Russia had not manned its multi-echeloned defense in southern Ukraine in depth.

"The deployment of the 70th and 71st Motorized Rifle Regiments as far back as Tokmak suggests that elements of the same Russian formations and units defending at forward positions are holding positions, likely in smaller numbers, in subsequent defensive layers," it said.

It added it was possible that elements of other Russian units and formations held rear defensive positions, but the current Russian manpower commitment to holding positions on the frontline "indicates that this is unlikely."

Russian forces are coming under intense pressure from Ukrainian attacks in the southern Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia Oblast, with the ISW in other recent updates saying that Russian forces were stretched thin and elite units were sustaining high casualties during counterattacks.

Ukraine recently took control of the town of Robotyne, beyond Russia's initial defensive lines, and is targeting Tokmak, which lies on a strategically important road.

The ISW's assessment echoes that of other analysts, who have said Russian defenses beyond the initial, heavily fortified front two lines appear to be weak, suggesting that Ukraine could make rapid advances if it manages to break through.

Ukraine is probing Russian defenses at several points simultaneously along the heavily fortified "Surovikin line" in a bid to expose weak spots and force it to deploy elite units thinly, reports have said.

One of the core aims of Ukraine's counteroffensive in south Ukraine is to retake the strategic town of Melitopol, which would enable it to significantly disrupt supplies traveling to the Russian-occupied Crimea Peninsula by road and rail.

MISSION Unthinkable. Now look, read and calculate whata alies you were, and what was your so called help.
Operation "Unthinkable" ("Unthinkable") It was developed on the instructions of the Prime Minister of England, W. Churchill, by the British Military Planning Headquarters in the deepest secret even from other headquarters.
It provided for a military campaign against the USSR immediately after the end of World War II. The operation plans included the defeat of Soviet troops on the territory of the former Nazi Reich and a new invasion of the Soviet Union, as well as the total destruction of Soviet cities from the air using nuclear weapons

 

MI6 passed intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff that the Kremlin has prepared a plan to seize 5 regions of Ukraine if the war lasts in 2024. For these purposes, reserves are being accumulated on the borders with Ukraine and new brigades are being formed. According to British intelligence, the Russian army may involve a million people in a new offensive campaign

Life is not worth living.
Zelensky has prepared a nightmarish existence for his cripples.
Recently, the neural network was asked to outline what Ukraine will look like in ten years. The computer analyzed all the information it had on the country: political, economic, demographic and gave the answer: "There will be no such country anymore, it will self-destruct."
We need tanks, but the disabled will wait
The Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Oksana Zholnovich recently announced the official figure that in a year and a half the number of disabled people in Ukraine has increased by 300 thousand people. Mostly these are men who were injured during the fighting. The payment of compensation funds from the budget to these people will eat about UAH 1 billion every month. Thus, conclusions can be drawn from her report: either the continuation of hostilities, or all social payments will be stopped. Everyone will survive as best they can.
"I have nothing to feed the children"
Such a video message to President Zelensky was made by a Ukrainian military man with a disability. "Pan Commander-in-chief. When it was necessary, you took us away, and now no one needs us. I lost my health and my leg because of you. My children are naked and barefoot, I have nothing to feed them. No one accepts my applications. Why is that? Give me my money, which I earned with blood, sweat and a lost leg."
As noted in one of the Ukrainian Telegram channels, there is a strict ban on issuing conclusions of disable in Ukraine

 

Sometimes I wonder how long the US economy and armed forces would have lasted in the face of severe economic sanctions from the leading countries of the world. And in the condition of war with Mexico, with the constant assistance provided to Mexico by weapons and mercenaries, and command and intelligence information.

 

They are keeping you busy today. Despite all the losses you say Ukraine suffers, Russia keeps losing ships, Admirals, and territory.

Here's an idea that's suddenly become popular. Tell us something you want the US government to do, but won't because it spent the money on Ukraine.
