Russian special military operation in Ukraine #56

An encircled battalion of the AFU 115 Brigade and 104TRO at the junction of Semenovka and Berdychi is ready to surrender. Negotiations with the commander by cell phone were successful for the latter.

Awww, Putin was going to parade the lot of them through Moscow on May 9

One of the videos regarding the western vehicles the Ukrainians had captured a Ukrainian mentioned with disgust that when they were give their super western vehicles they took away the vehicles they had captured from the Russians and it seemed to me that the guy speaking would rather have fought using the captured Russian vehicles than be forced to use the western equipment... which was not in a very good condition when it was received.

Right now Russia should focus on two important things... destroying weapons and equipment and ammo as it arrives before it gets to anywhere that it could be used, and to eliminate from the battlefield as many men as they can... whether that is killing them or that is capturing them it is not really important which.

A cameria cutscene show that an Ukrainian citizen and a Russian citizen in Vietnam cooperated with each others in a mission to commit a theft and burglary in a local Vietnamese store.

-In a parallel fantasy world when Russians and Ukrainians are not at war but in solidarity.
-When Russians and Ukrainians unite, they can do the impossible !
-Now Moskva and Kiev where they can negiotiate for a peace !
-The Kiev Maidan government probably want Vietnam to extradite the Ukrainian guy back to the homeland, for obvious reason. )))

in one of the most corrupt countries on earth

Most of the money was spend in the US, so he is right. 

Ukraine foreign minister said , they make some equipment locally . Therefore very important to take out power stations . The photo of captured Ukrs equipment in Moscow is very telling ! A mixture of a hundred different types . Impossible to source parts and effect repairs , a defeat in itself . Good to see some Ukrs now peacefully surrendering . Must show on TV and the good conditions of prisoners . So western Tanks now gone ? Better this than show another destroyed Tank . Bad for business . I think the same war story for F16 . Mark Sloboda believed they will arrive sooner than later ! I agree . Sharing their fate with their Tanks . Some Bridges and Rail being hit ! Good , better late than never . Get ready for amphibious crossings here or there . Anyone left in these towns and villages being taken by Russia ? All abandoned ? No more civilian hostages kept by force ? Where to advance ? Choices , choices ! The shortest distance to the River !

Never allow Russians or Ukrainians into your country during wartime

You only get trash and filth

Russia has already a bridgehead on the other side of the Dnjepr, called Belarus.

and more you shall have.  Ukraine's innovative scam (I am just gonna let autocorrect have its day) of using infrastructure to intercept 100 percent of Russian rockets, bombs, and drones means lots of power plants, factories, bridges, rail yards, port facilities etc are going to be decommunized.

Great minds think alike ! I was thinking of the same . The depth of River upstream must be less and River narrow . Bridges will likely be destroyed downstream .

A funny conclusion.
Take a look at Moscow exhibit of the NATO gear.
Everything is pimped up to look as good as possible.
Some pieces look like well-maintained working ones.
Compare it to the burned stuff that ukrs carried along all of Yurop, to show how successful they are.
It is a clear difference in both mentality and the goal.



This one looks so French! Never used, only surrended once!

I wonder where did our friend Karl Haushofer go?

Yeah I think Ukraine is going to destroy their own nuclear powerplants eventually and they will rally the west to pin the blame on Russia for it.

I am sure plenty of people in control would like that to happen... to be fair allowing US companies to own Ukrainian farms probably destroyed any future agriculture regarding GMOs, but that ship on its own is not enough so they add DU material to the mix... why not create more problems for Russia and the locals because they don't have to live there...

I think the days of western accusations against Russia holding any weight anywhere... even in the west are over... they just pulled that shit too many times... they don't even believe it themselves any more.

But of course if they do try that then there are a lot of actually patriotic Ukrainians who don't like Russians but also understand when foreigners tell you to destroy your own country so the Russians can't rebuild it and make it nice again are your real enemies.

Whether they can stop them, or just tell the world what actually happened I rather suspect such plans whether implemented or not will be enough for Russia to say even a neutral Ukraine can't be allowed to have nuclear technology... they wont have the population base to need a lot of power anyway.

I am confident enough in Putins intelligence that it will end up hurting Europe more than it hurts Russia or the Ukraine.

The west is the destroyer of worlds, Russia rebuilds and repairs and makes peace.

Take a look at Moscow exhibit of the NATO gear.

If they were captured by the west they would have put swastikas on them...

They currently deliver missiles with a range of 300 km. The question is how much does the US have?

The longer the flight range the more time it spends in the air and the more time you have to detect it and shoot it down...

I look forward to the Russian response when they start trying to use these things to attack Crimea and Russia itself... perhaps even the Zelensky regime might be targeted... but as their lines collapse I wonder if that is actually something they want to happen...

It's like if you are going to lose your country why not make areas of that country unhabitable for your enemy like Chernobyl? What powerplants does Ukraine have in their territory and where? We all know this eventually is going to happen.

We have already mentioned it several times. In addition to the one in energodar, in russian controlled Zaporozhye oblast, which is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, there are 3 others (plus Chernobyl).
One (south Ukraine) is in the North of Nikolaev Oblast (near the border with kirovgrad oblast.

Finally there are two nuclear powerplants in the north west of Ukraine, one in Rivne (Rovno in Russian) not far from the Belarusian border, and the other in north of
Khmelnytskyi oblast, not far from the border with the Rivne/ Rovno Oblast.



The easiest would be to take control of these areas before the crazies in 404 decide to do some stupid shit.

And at the end Russia should either control these territories forever, or, if letting the north east as independent state, should completely safely dismantle the powerplants until the last brick, before giving the territory back to a smaller 404.

Take a look at Moscow exhibit of the NATO gear.

Finally a German tank made it to Moscow!
