Russian special military operation in Ukraine #61

About 70% of wounded Ukrainian soldiers return to the front. In fact, they are the backbone of the military contingent - Commander of the medical forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Kazmirchuk.

Conscription has started in earnest in Kiev and other big ukrainian cities. The bottom of the barrel seems to be in sight already...

soldiers return to the front.

Propably in wheelchairs.

Does anyone know why there is so little mention of loitering munitions used by Ukraine? With the low production numbers it makes sense that they would have fewer than Russia, but the near total lack of mention is strange, surely some made it to the front.

Latest estimate from NATO is that Russia will run out in 2159

Okean Elsy - a hohol band concert - chubs get kidnapped in Kiev in public

The final harvest has begun

Hey if hohols don’t do anything to stop the murder of that woman in Odessa or their own countrymen from being “mogilized” then can’t feel bad for them

Mogilization - or mass burial

Very funny and fitting term - clock is ticking …

Fúck yeah, let them cook

Russia to rebuild everything destroyed in Donbass, Novorossiya — Putin, 10.12.2024.

"Special words of gratitude go to the agricultural workers from the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and Donbass, as well as the border regions of the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions," the head of state said.

MOSCOW, October 13. /TASS/. Russia will create conditions to realize the agricultural potential of Donbass and Novorossiya and will restore all the damaged facilities, President Vladimir Putin said in the video address on the occasion of the Agriculture and Processing Industry Workers’ Day.

"Special words of gratitude go to the agricultural workers from the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions and Donbass, as well as the border regions of the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions," the head of state said. They are putting a lot of efforts and doing their best despite the challenging situation, Putin stressed.

"Such dedication and fortitude deserve the deepest respect. We will continue to prioritise assistance to you. Step by step, we will restore and rebuild everything that was destroyed or damaged. Of course, we will create conditions for realising the vast agricultural potential of our historic territories which have reunited with Russia," the head of state added.

From this we can certainly say Putin plans on liberating Kherson and Zaporozhye, Donbass is pretty much done  let me hope this extends into Kharkiv, Dnipro, Poltava, Niko, Odessa, and as a bonus Sumy, cherniv, Kirovohrad,

I'd say give it time. Zaprozhiye and Kherson are probably next on the menu. Sumy and Kharkov? That depends on how much genocide of Ukrainians by suicide the Ukrainian army agrees to do for NATO into Kursk and Belgorod. As for Odessa, Poltava, etc? Those are probably down the road. I think Putin basically says okay, you can have peace now, and you only lose the areas we currently control. Then the puppet says no. Then Putin says okay, then your country will be a bit smaller than it is now. For those who say, but Kharkov requires a lot of forces. Not really, Kharkov city would require a lot of forces but cutting off Kharkov and making inroads into the province means the Ukrainians have to commit a lot more troops into battle. You build a huge firebag to wipe out Ukrainian formations, you don't exactly beseige Kharkov but you put it under threat of siege and you let civilians evacuate and meanwhile you bleed through tens of thousands of Ukrainians.

Its all on the table. Even Galicia. Russia needs a new nuclear test site now that Kazakhstan is an independent state.

That's what Poland and the Baltards exist for. . . .

Putin is a stickler for the law and the rules, so when those four regions voted to become part of the Russian Federation and were accepted, they became Russian territory and it is Russian law that Russian territory can not be given or negotiated away to foreign powers in deals or agreements... they mentioned it in regards to negotiations with Japan over the Kurile Islands.

Once the Donbass grouping is done, two fundamental changes happen in the war:
1. The force generation capacity of the ukro army is gone in practical terms
2. The battle moves from extremely fortified to almost unprotected territory

From that point onwards, how much territory is to be taken would be just for Russia to decide...

What do you guys think of this?:

WP: Russia used captured Starlinks to strengthen its army, by Alexey Degtyarev for VZGLYAD. 10.13.2024.

Russian troops have significantly improved their coordination and maneuverability using captured Starlink terminals in Ukraine, the Washington Post claims.

The Russian army has increased its military potential by using the weapons captured in Ukraine, The Washington Post reports, Gazeta.Ru reports .

The Ukrainian army, facing a shortage of weapons and numbers, has lost its main advantage – access to the Internet via Starlink. Now, Russian troops have this advantage too.

At the same time, the US cannot influence the fact that Starlink terminals ended up in the hands of the Russian military. An officer of the 72nd mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which defended the Ugledar area, said that the Russian army was able to defeat the Ukrainian forces largely thanks to the use of Starlink.

Earlier, Minister of Digital Development Maksut Shadayev stated that the Russian low-orbit satellite constellation had attracted interest from friendly countries as an alternative to Starlink.
