Russian special military operation in Ukraine #54

Without additional military assistance from the United States, Ukraine will be forced to enter into peace negotiations with Russia on Moscow’s terms within a year, says CIA Director Robert Burns.

“He (Russian President Vladimir Putin) is interested in such negotiations where he can dictate terms. I think that without additional help, this is the future that can await Ukraine in a year from now,” he said at a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee US representatives.

According to Burns, the absence of new military assistance will lead to an even greater retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and losses of settlements occupied by Ukrainian troops this year.

Ukrainian commanders told Der Spiegel that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not last long
AFU officers spoke about the situation in different sectors of the front. Most of them agree: due to insufficient supplies, almost all units are forced to conserve ammunition.
Some troops can now hold their positions - and then only until the Russian army attacks in full force.
If the attacks intensify, then due to the acute shortage of personnel, weapons and ammunition, they will not be stopped for long.
Then the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have to retreat - however, the positions for retreat are also poorly developed.
“The Ukrainians are experiencing difficulties now, and the Russians are advancing along the entire front,” said military expert Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Ukraine is trying to adhere to an active defense strategy, but instead of counterattacks it is losing more and more high-quality equipment from the West. Many units will soon run out of ammunition.
“We won’t be able to hold out like this for long,” the Ukrainian Armed Forces admitted to the Ukrainian artillery near Ugledar.

Putin in an interview with Kiselev:

– Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons if the question is about the existence of the Russian state

– From a military-technical point of view, the Russian Federation is ready for a nuclear war, but I don’t think everything is rushing so head-on

– The presence of foreign troops in Ukraine and the supply of weapons will not change anything on the battlefield

The head of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, reported on the successful landing operation of our marines on the right bank of the Dnieper in the area of the Antonovsky Bridge.

Last night, a joint assault group of fighters from the Dnepr group of troops carried out a daring raid on the right bank of the river.
Marines, paratroopers and volunteers disembarked from watercraft at the base of the Antonovsky Bridge. Due to the surprise, the enemy did not have time to react in time. Our soldiers destroyed several enemy positions, including a UAV control center and an electronic warfare station, observation, communications and temporary concentration of manpower points .

The Ukrainian militants continue to use "dirty" depleted uranium shells.

The video report by "The Sun" showed the ammunition of the British "Challenger 2" tank in service with the AFU. It featured 120mm armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectiles L27 APFSDS (L27A1 CHARM 3) with a depleted uranium core.

The main radiation hazard from depleted uranium occurs when it enters the body in the form of dust or through groundwater. It has previously been proven that the use of these projectiles has a detrimental effect on humans and the environment.

Putin warned about the consequences of the entry of Polish troops into Ukraine.

Putin said that if Poland sends troops into Ukraine, they will not leave.

According to the Russian leader, Poland wants to return the lands that it considers its own. Therefore, the president believes that Polish troops can use “covering the Ukrainian-Belarusian border” as a reason to enter Ukrainian territory. However, in the end, the Poles will want to return the lands that they consider historically theirs, Putin is sure.

“They dream and see, they want to return those lands that they consider historically theirs, and which were taken away from them by the father of nations, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, and transferred to Ukraine. They, of course, want to return them,” Putin explained.

Meanwhile, the president said that the Russian Federation is ready for negotiations on Ukraine based on reality.

Russia needs to increase the amount and power of its destructive capability in order to minimize losses in the special operation zone, Putin said.

This regards aviation and ground attack capabilities, artillery and armored vehicles, the president said in his interview with Kiselev for Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti.

If Russia abandons its people in Donbass and Novorossiya today, its losses will increase many times over tomorrow, Putin said

Russian air defense destroyed 58 Ukrainian drones over the night and morning of March 13, the Defense Ministry said.

Eleven drones were shot down over Belgorod region, eight over Bryansk region, another 29 over Voronezh region, eight over Kursk region and one each over Ryazan and Leningrad regions.

"I hate to say it, but I don't trust anyone. But we need guarantees," Putin said commenting of the probability of Ukraine peace talks

"I hate to say it, but I don't trust anyone. But we need guarantees. And the guarantees must be spelled out, they must be guarantees that would suit us and that we would believe in. This is what we are talking about. But right now it is probably too early to talk publicly about what it could be. But we will certainly not buy into some empty promises," he said in interview to Dmitry Kiselev, the Director general of Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik's parent media group.

Vladimir Putin said that the presence of foreign military contingents will not change the situation on the battlefield, but may lead to serious geopolitical consequences. He cited the example of Poland, which wants to regain Ukraine’s western territories, which it considers historically its own.

"... They dream about it, they want to reclaim territories they consider historically their own that were taken from them by the ‘father of nations,’ Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, and handed over to Ukraine. Of course they want them back. And if official Polish troops are deployed there, they are not going back. Then, other countries that lost their territories as a result of World War II may follow in their footsteps," he said.

Vladimir Putin said there are constitutional problems in Germany and that Germans rightly fear a strike on the Crimean Bridge would violate the German constitution. He noted that Russia is closely monitoring the political situation in Germany.

"As far as Germany is concerned, there are constitutional problems there. They rightfully say: if these Taurus hit that part of the Crimean Bridge, which, of course, even according to their understanding, is Russian territory, then this is a violation of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany. The fact is that Germany’s opposition is behaving even more aggressively. We'll see what they eventually will agree on, and we are following this closely," he said.

"The Ukrainian government sends its soldiers to certain death for political effect in the international arena and to obtain additional financial assistance." — Putin about the meat grinder into which Ukraine sent its soldiers near the village of Krynki.

The vast majority of Ukrainians hated Russians because they were told to by their media and their government, and when they get told it was all Americas fault and Europes fault they will likely believe that too.

I will only remind you, that in a struggle to keep this delusion floating, Google ceased to update satellite maps of new Russian territories. All maps are frozen in 2022, not to present the clear and serious reconstruction on a scale those lands never experienced in the last three decades.
That's the western weapon of choice - delusion.
Pretending that there is no bridge, no railway lines, no massive reconstruction, no roads.
People targeted with this crap on extream level, simply give up.

Jesus fukin' Christ, Antonio, are you going to spam this thread the same way you have spammed Gazan one?!?!?!?!

A new batch of T-90M tanks on the way from the factory to the front.

The fact of the matter is that you have to give 61 billion to the US MIC now or they wont be able to justify that sort of money being thrown at the richest companies in the US, and Trump will be told when he gets elected that he has to pour more money into the defence industry because it has been gutted by Bidens war on democracy in the Ukraine. US war stocks have been gutted and they need funds to refill them with expensive brand new shit.

They can vote a 600 bln package if they wish. Will be much more medial.
It makes no fukin' difference.

Again :

We are two years into war.
Russkie produces 3 mln rounds annually, and will only increase the number.
All of Donbas is a bloody war machine.

All the NATO combined is tasked to produce ONE MILLION, by the end of 2025.
Translating that easy way: they will struggle to get a THIRD of the ACTUAL Russian production in TWO YEARS from now.

They can print all the money they want, and make all the money they wish just by adding zeros to virtual accounts.
It doesn't change a damn thing.

You need industry.
A working industry, with workforce. Skilled people. Used for hard job. Mines. Smelters. Wallmills.
Yes, those "village fools" and "rednecks" who used to work their arses hard back in the 90s.
Those who were rejected by a "modern civilization of future" with all the social media skills.
But no skill how to use a fukin' hammer.

Where is the west suppose to find that?

How they are suppose to make a two shift working days for defence industry, when they can't get labor to work in one shift?

Russia can seek the assistance of tons of partners and allies, all of them with a solid defense industry and shockingly leveraged purchasing power.
And workforce.

Who wants to bet, how many skilled workers who can produce military gear can send comrade Kim, if asked kindly?
I guess we can use "much" instead of "many" for the case

The biggest factor on the planet, China, is aligned with Russia in this conflict, and this alignment gets only deeper.

NATO has no allies out there.

After three decades of bullying, attacking, killing, and pushing the gaylord propaganda, a whole bloody planet is sick and tired of them.

It is not funny anymore. It is pathetic. And we all, living in the western world, are hostages of these thugs.

And some entertainment

How it started ?



How it ended ?






         

Edit :

And the best comment about "mighty offensive in Belgorod direction" I have seen till now :

I just wonder about the lack of any visible effect of this cluster warhead

But I guess we only don't see it, while those two stated there for a reason, while one ran away.

Probably there was no fuel in them, so no fire ignited.

By the way - this fuel truck was taken down a while later when hidden in a barn - reportedly by Su-34/UMPK combo.

It was not Tornado at the end.
Bet on Lancet or izd. 305

uh oh
