and the whole country of Ukraina will be enslaved via "investment", "loans", "privatization" and others.
"Whole of Ukraine" is shrinking daily. All those loans will be used as blackmail against Russia after the SMO (and "Ukraine") is finished. The West will demand that Russia pays the money back or all the sanctions will stay in place. Russia:

When Christoforou asks him something, Mercouris answers quite fluently. As soon as he has to talk alone he gets verbal constipation. Every word has to be pressed out of his mouth...
Just watched SVL meeting with Xi ...

46.3219412, 30.6246733 - railway bridge, which we hit for the third time this day.
The map shows that the indicated railway line leads to the southern part of the port of Chernomorsk (Ilyichevsk), and disabling it will make it difficult to unload the nasty stuff that still arrives in the Odessa region by sea.

Our source reports that Zelensky was recently reported on how the border with Moldova, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Romania, the PMR, and the Republic of Belarus was strengthened. They strengthened the border so that people could not escape from Ukraine. Now border guards have more UAVs with thermal imagers than military personnel on the front line. The reason is simple - UAVs are now more important for catching manpower than for war.
At the same time, Zelensky ordered to strengthen even more barriers, outfits and equipment, as well as to launch more frightening news that people are freezing or being eaten by wolves, in order to thus discourage even the desire to flee from Ukraine.
Not sure how Russia triages its list of targets for ballistic, cruise missile, and drone strikes in Ukraine, but these machine workshops (responsible for repairing damaged vehicles of the AFU and drone production) and ammunition depot in Dnipro region needs to be destroyed ASAP
Pictures of an alleged Maidan Kiev SPG under a trench.
The original post hypothesized that the Maidan deploys their cannons in the trenches with at least 3 metre depth. They Maidan attempts to restrict the approach of the Russian UAV Lancet and attempts to decrease the accuracy of Lancet at the terminal phase of the trajectory.
Very smart of them. That is a good way to hide their artillery. Limited of course on firing range when you are like that, but sufficient for a certain amount of distance.
I am not sure what you mean they limit UAV's in the terminal phase. Exactly how? Through EW? Because it was proven they suck at being able to do much in terms of dealing with these drones.
Only issue is, if Russia does find these dug in artillery, they wont be able to move quickly enough when bombs are dropped.
Western military technology can help Ukraine beat Russia, the president believes
Kiev already has a plan for a new counteroffensive against Russia, Zelensky said, indicating that it depends on the US resuming military assistance to his country and the West in general helping Ukraine ramp up domestic military production.
It's all an artifice designed to keep the flow alive. The Russians do not need to flatten large cities as suggested by some here, or overreact with costly operations. Just keep the pressure steady enough until the whole thing collapses by itself. Eventually by a massive financial crisis by the end of 2024 or mid-2025 then it'll become even more unbearable for the Western goons to justify the idiocy to their citizens.
Zelensky is no president, nor even an actor at this point. Just a salesman dressed in Churchillian clothes throwing his pitches; we are losing please send more $$$, we will counter-attack please send more $$$. In fact, the Westies have always made this historical misjudgement in their veneration for Churchill. He was lucky enough that the Third Reich only had its eyes fixed in the East and thus not ending up as another Solano Lopez.

Just make me remember this video, in which the MC briefed about civillian long barrel bird hunting firearms temporarily displace combat shotgun in Ukraina due to the issues about anti-drone warfare.
He is ignoring the fact that there are AK based shotguns in Russian military service and they have all the rails to mount all sorts of bits and pieces needed.
This shotgun is made by Molot and is as mentioned based on the Kalashnikov machine gun... it is based on the RPK-74 which has a heavier structure than the AK rifles receiver...
It has picatinny rails and 10 round box magazines. A shotgun is a very versatile weapon but for use against human beings only buckshot and solid slugs make sense.
Against drones or light structured targets then lighter shot loads can be used to get better density of hits on target.
A shorter barrel means the shot spreads faster... a number 3 shot round might kill a rabbit cleanly at 20-30m from a long barrel shotgun, but those short barrel riot type shotguns with 18 inch barrels might struggle at 10m because the pellet spread might mean you are unlucky and not hit the rabbit anywhere that is immediately lethal. The pellets will likely go right through the rabbit at that range, but if it doesn't go through something important you might not kill it cleanly.
With a drone a number 3 shot will shatter blades and structure and damage things like batteries and cameras, and the smaller size of the shot means it is likely you will get multiple hits on target. With buckshot any hit will destroy what it hits but the chances of a hit are smaller due to the fewer number of projectiles.
Buckshot will damage drones at much greater distances like up to 100m, but actually hitting a small fast moving drone at that range might be very much hit and miss, or should I say miss miss miss hit.
A case of firing till you get it.
Longer barrels makes following a flying target easier, but you do need practise and certainly should not assume... it is a shotgun... I just need to point it in the general direction to get hits... you have to lead moving targets or you will fire where the target was instead of where it is.
The data from the inspections could then be used by the the West to copy their centrifuge design without license.
And that is a problem with the IAEA too... being western controlled they are so paranoid about everyone else, and yet so keen to steal technology every chance they get.
Ukraine to ban Olympic athletes from talking to Russians
Freedom of speech if you are a nazi, but not if you like Putin... Ukraine deserves to be removed from the map... the sooner the cockroaches in Kiev scuttle to the west the better...
Do you know any other country in human history actively advertise its own secretive counter-offensive plan to the whole world like advertising a commercial good ?
It is what made their last offensive such a success... now if they can only work out how the Russians knew their plans for an offensive they can win next time...
Typical Nazi behavior. Don´t touch or talk to Untermenschen!
Yes, you might find out they are not much different from you and realise your leadership are the real bad guys.
Yes, that is another approach. We can consider that as a long term and risky investment profile. Speculation that sooner or later there will be some kind of settlement. But I wouldn't bet much on that.
Will be funny when they seize Russian assets to pay for the loans they are giving Kiev because I would guess Russia will reciprocate without recognising any debt that Kiev might owe to the western donors to murder Russians so instead of a settlement.... it might just be a **** you for destroying this country and trying to make a profit out of that you monsters.
The West will demand that Russia pays the money back or all the sanctions will stay in place.
Notice when referring to peace talks Putin never mentions a lifting of western sanctions except SWIFT for payments for grain and fertiliser payments... and over time I suspect even that will no longer be a problem because alternatives will be found.
Those holes the artillery is in is a bit silly... a bit of artillery nearby and those will collapse and be buried.
Do they have the available manpower to dig it all out again?
Note videos of the Russian side and all their trenches have top cover and wires and pipes to supply power and fluids etc to the places that need it.
Because the west has nothing more to offer. Bleeding NATO dry is accomplished.
Why you guys can't stand Alexander Mercorous?
His videos last 90 minutes quite often. If he would talk like a normal person they would last 30 min. Anoying ticks like touching his nose, ears, legs like 500+ times in a video.
Very smart of them.
Too little, too late.

A sad conclusion is, that Russkie tried to keep them floating for 2+ years, and it took a terror campaign to make them change their minds. Now the whole of 404 will be simply devastated, in NATO style. This country is gone. It will be a non existing shithole when Russkie will finish with them.

I pretty much told all the dumbasses who started posting tiktok vids, paid for the Bidet regime, that the most likely outcome of this war would be that Ukraine would look like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan or some other recipient of a NATO "nation building" exercise. They said Russian propagandist! I said Ukraine would be depopulated and NATO weaponry would litter the battlefield because they wouldn't be crewed by NATO, enjoy a strong logistics network, and close air and artillery support and I got called a Putin Ball licker. I called out the corrupt Ukraine regime, called Nuland a terrorist, Anne Applebaum a hack, and I got called a Kremlinbot. Then I said, NATO is completely responsible for this proxy war/cash grab and that it would lose this war and I got called a tankie. Well three years into this and the ukrainian flags and slaw and baloney stuff is gone from their profiles as they have moved on to the next thing they are told to support by their "free" corporate state controlled press and when you put all the insults they threw at me together, they only admit that I was and am right.

Thermal power plant in Kiev, one of the biggest in 404. It is totally devastated, turbine rooms have been burning for almost 12h now. There is nothing there left. Russkie strategy changed 180 deg. Until the Crocus terror attack, they hardly ever targeted power generation. Distribution - yes, but those damages are relatively easy to repair, and not so costly. It was an annoying issue, but manageable.
Now they are not playing with them anymore, but devastating the core of energy generation. They are hitting turbines, steering, control centers. Those damages will require years to rebuild, and billions of investment. It is like rebuilding an entire power generating structure - this thing was built by the whole of the Soviet Union, and took decades. It is impossible to restore in 404 conditions. They will be back into XIX century soon.

So another 100 percent interception rate by Urine's air defenses. Stupid question, wouldn't it be wiser for them to use sams and ack ack guns (I like the term ack ack) instead of buildings to intercept Russian weapons?
