Russian special military operation in Ukraine #53

Again no, as that is not a translation as such, it is an official news release authored for release in English.

Who the f... cares? 

to focus reserves

What reserves? 
The cauldron around Avdeevka was created for enemy reserves to be send in.
FABs and TOS are waiting for them. 

It is like LEGO, only structures are much bigger.

Saw a documentary about one of the new generation buildings being constructed in Moscow.
Parts are being glued together with concrete.
Wall segment after wall segment.
Then the ceiling segments and on to the next floor.
15 floors or so were build in 30 days.
In Winter.

You need some small ordnance to break the glass . Then you need incendiary rounds to set fire to soft furnishings . The smoke will dive out the angry Bees . QED .

There are intense efforts by NATzO to sour relations between Russia and India, Im sure these munitions have been sourced from third countries and delivered to Ukraine to make an impression that India is supplying weapons to NATzO occupied Ukraine.

The US is sending to Ukraine some Indian ammunition that the US bought supposedly for its own use.

India shouldn't be selling any ammo to these NATO suckers.

Steiner counter attack?

I doubt they will be able to stage any attack worthy of the name.
Btw, NK threats r aimed at SK, to stop its supply of shells to US Ukraine, so soon they won't be return fire at all.

US chose to back Neo Nazi regime in Ukraine

I had already provided evidence a few days ago that munition sold by India to NATO member states were exported by them to Ukraine.

Even if it wasn't sent directly to Ukraine, it would still be used by the US to replenish their own stocks. So they would be able to send more of their other ammo to Ukraine anyway.

Tests of rheumatological drugs for large Western pharmaceutical companies with the assistance of Ukrainian officials have been conducted for several years on patients of the psychiatric department of the hospital in Mariupol. The documents are at the disposal of RIA Novosti.

Among the experimental patients were children, including infants under the age of 1 year. According to the documents, the drug was administered to children under the age of 11.

FSB officers raided the offices of the Federal Air Transport Agency in Moscow and St. Petersburg after information appeared about the illegal export of 59 aircraft abroad. Some of the aircraft were later involved in a special operation against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This became known to the Izvestia newspaper.

According to the source of the publication, Mi-8 helicopters and Il-76 aircraft fell into the hands of unfriendly countries, which moved with their beacons turned off. The documents seized on February 7 made it possible to confirm the illegality of the actions of some employees of the Federal Air Transport Agency.

Two criminal cases have been opened on the fact of the incident. Recently dismissed employees Pyotr Kozyrev and Kristina Byvalina were in the field of special attention of the FSB.

This is quite a serious offense by the traitors involved. Russia needs to set the minimum sentence for these kinds of atrocities to no less than 50 years in prison. IMO taking away more than half of a criminal's potential lifespan is a good deterrent to make them think twice before committing traitorous crimes against Russia.

Are they buying back their donated equipment? Are they buying back scrap?

They are placing an order.

They donated some launchers and fire control centres to the Ukraine.

They ordered replacements for those launchers and control centres, but now they are talking about adding on an extra order for 10 further launchers and four extra fire control centres to add to that order for replacement new units.

In other words say they had 20 launch units and 8 fire control centres and they decided to donate to Kiev 8 of the oldest launchers they had and 3 of the oldest fire control centres (or the ones that weren't working and the maker would not take them back), then they would have had an order for 8 new launch units and 3 fire control centres.

This article says they are going to change the order to 18 launch units and 7 fire control centres (10 more launchers and four more fire control centres).

Therefore no need for close quarter fighting by Russian troops ,

You could nuke it 20 times you would still need to send in troops to make sure it is clear...

if the Orcs pour troops without fire support into a town , to " capture , " it or claim a hollow victory ( possession of a skeleton or empty destroyed shell of a town ) .

When they run out of towns to hide in they will be left out in the open and horribly vulnerable so I can't see them leaving the towns unless they have no choice.

All these towns will be rubble when this is over and will need UXO clearance and then to be completely rebuilt... but they are in regions that are likely already joined to the RF or likely to join so they will be rebuilt.

India shouldn't be selling any ammo to these NATO suckers.

They could have had it for decades.

This should actually sour relations between India and the US because essentially the US is abusing Indias neutrality in this Ukrainian conflict.

I hope it makes India rethink other agreements it has with the US... especially the US plan to use Indians as cannon fodder in a war with China that the US wants to start as soon as they can.

Even if it wasn't sent directly to Ukraine, it would still be used by the US to replenish their own stocks. So they would be able to send more of their other ammo to Ukraine anyway.

There is no evidence these are recent production, plus military sales are bound by very strict agreements that restrict the use of the equipment and ammo to what it was intended for, which is why Russia is not happy with Equador selling old Russian stuff to the US to send to the Ukraine. A breach of contract.

Relaxing without responsibility. On a country walk with the wife

What do we make of this?

The military analytical resource Deep State stated that the Russian Armed Forces have created a 30-kilometer-long train in the Donbass. Its creation began in the summer of 2023.

US MLRS arrives back in the US

this is the beginning of the end:

Every time an important city is about to be liberated, the western MSM comes up wit the same lame BS.
A few month ago they send their best brigades to defend Avdeevka against the russian attack.
Now they send "one of their" best brigades to unlock the cauldron.
In two weeks they will send their absolut best brigades to develop a new defence line west of the city.

Remember that they also send their best brigades to the defence of Bakhmut.
Wonder what happened to them?

Finally, they have used 30 (thirty) tonnes of explosives to tear it down.

That´s why some of them are still there.

What do we make of this?

Resolution is too bad.
Could be anything.

So I guess we can consider that official.
Putin was persuaded to withdraw the army from Kiev under the pressure of France and Germany.
Both argued that a peace deal being brokered in Istanbul would look bad if considered from the perspective of holding a gun at Kiev's head.
Putin would never say that, addressing directly Edyp and Leberwurst, not having hard proofs on hand.
And he did that multiple times in the interview, suggesting Tucker confront his words by asking his counterparts back home.

Putin is the head of the Russian state and cannot talk too bluntly, besides the whole operation is conditioned by the need of generating a case which conforms at least under certain interpretation to international law. The fact is that the whole point of the attack on Kiev was to force the ukr leadership to the negotiation table, so giving up on it made no sense apart from directing the conflict into the war to the last ukrainian that the West predictably would pursue and that would allow Russia to bring a permanent solution to their problem with 404. But this time, with a clear blame on the Western side, once Russia made the"good will" movement only to be stabbed again in the back. When the whole conflict is put in perspective in the future to reach a legally binding settlement, it needs to be crystal clear to any external observer, that Russia only escalated when forced by their opponents and after many diplomatic attempts, only that will create international recognition for eventual new borders an/or the dissolution of 404.
