    ..and that they MAXIMISE the loss ratio and thereby expend as few soldiers lives as possible. Ukrotrashscum are not worth the life of a single Russian soldier or civilian, but if people must be lost, make sure the nazis pay an exhoribant price for each and every life.

    I am hearing estimates of over a million war graves in Ukraine. This appears to me a plausible number and includes losses in the rear by the Ukr army. We hear
    about a strike on a hotel with NATzO advisors occasionally but I do not think we hear about every incident. It is extremely unlikely that these are half or more
    civilians who died from collateral damage. The figure of around 400,000 KIA applies to the situation a year ago. Over the last year the losses have doubled.

    It looks to me like the frontline KIA are following this progression:

    2022: around 500 per day
    2023: around 750 per day
    2024: over 1000 per day

    That sums to around 725,000. But this is a crude linear ramp and not the rising curve that it is likely to be. I do not think that the Russian MOD estimates
    the losses in the rear. Also a part of the WIA dies after and perhaps the nature of this war and the sorry state of Ukrainian medical care makes it not a
    small part.

    Anyway, I do not know the details of the one million estimate and it could be rounding up excessively. It probably does include direct civilian losses which are
    not zero.

    MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry offered to hand over 935 Ukrainian prisoners of war this year, but Kiev took only 279 of them, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

    "This year, the Russian Defense Ministry handed over to the Coordination Headquarters for the Handling of Prisoners of War a proposal to give back 935 Ukrainian prisoners of war to the Ukrainian side as part of exchanges," the diplomat said in an online news conference. "How many of this number of people do you think the Kiev regime took back? I will emphasize they are its own citizens. Only 279."

    "These are practically 700 people who could have returned to their families in Ukraine," Zakharova went on to say. "They were simply shrugged off by the Kiev regime, and yet its representatives continue to travel to Canada and around the world and supposedly call on, and negotiate with the international community for mediation efforts and, as [former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry] Kuleba said, for protection of Ukrainian nationals in Russia."

    The spokeswoman called such actions of the Kiev regime "political tourism on the blood of its own citizens, its own servicemen."

    "Not those who have been experiencing hatred for years, not the thugs who are ready to kill everyone with weapons in their hands - both Russian citizens and residents of the African continent, as it now turns out, but those whom they literally forcibly mobilized, telling them that Ukraine must be saved, sending them into these human wave attacks. They are not interested in their fate," Zakharova said.

    Russian special military operation in Ukraine #62 - Page 6 Empty Re: Russian special military operation in Ukraine #62

    Zelensky will be killed in any case, by Kirill Strelnikov for RiaNovosti. 11.03.2024.

    Yesterday, during one of his rare interviews, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that any new government, a new Maidan in Ukraine, would most likely begin by executing those who had previously sat on Bankova and, in essence, seized power in the country: "As long as they are in power, they are alive, as soon as they are no longer in power, they do not exist."

    The opinion that Zelensky and his gang will end badly (or rather, they will end badly) has long been a consensus in the Russian information field, but now this topic has become a full-blown issue in the West - both among experts and even in the most "hard-boiled" local media.

    It is obvious that this insincere and belated insight is directly connected with the successes of the Russian army, which is gaining momentum every day, and the simply outrageous losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which the desperate mobilization in Ukraine cannot compensate for.

    According to a fresh statement from the American publication Bloomberg, over the past week, the Russian Armed Forces have liberated more territory than in the entire 2023. At the same time, the traditionally dry reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense report that the losses of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel in October of this year alone amounted to 69,640 people (since the beginning of the year - almost half a million).

    Against this backdrop, Zelensky sees only one way out for himself: increasing the scale and tightening mobilization. Not long ago, the Kiev gang lowered the draft age to 25 and lifted most restrictions and types of reservations. This turned out to be insufficient, and now, according to the Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine, Oleksandr Litvinenko, they are urgently planning to mobilize another 160,000 people, since, in the opinion of many officials, this is the "last chance for salvation." But even in the event of success (far from guaranteed), the active units will only be staffed at 85 percent.

    That is why Zelensky's office, in order to probe public opinion, began to throw out the topic of lowering the draft age first to 17, and then to 14, through special talking heads. To do this, they plan to raise children "in the spirit of hatred for the enemy" (an Austrian artist immediately came to mind), and also to prohibit them from traveling abroad.

    However, even in the West they do not believe that children's battalions will help Zelensky.

    Newsweek reported that the rapid advance of the Russian army to the West threatens the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a sharp increase in losses in manpower, because the Ukrainian troops simply do not have time to consolidate their positions; they are being atomized in open fields, barns, and basements. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have enough recruits "even for defense," and quoted Vasyl Rumak, a representative of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: "Even with the tightening of mobilization, the number of recruits in training centers has decreased almost twofold in recent months."

    The pages of The New York Times are filled with gloom: "Ukraine will have enough soldiers for only six to twelve months, and then a sharp collapse will occur," "The American military and intelligence have concluded that the war in Ukraine is no longer a stalemate and that Russia is steadily advancing, which is causing pessimism in Kyiv and Washington to deepen."

    All this means that Zelensky does not have long to live.

    Even Western experts and observers believe that Zelensky has nowhere to go under any new US president. If any agreement is adopted based on the "peace in exchange for territories" formula (for example, under Trump), Zelensky will be hanged by Ukrainian Nazis, who never liked him and did not trust him from the start. According to the latest polls, almost 40 percent of the remaining residents of Ukraine are not against negotiations with Russia, including territorial concessions, there are still a lot of frostbitten Banderovites there. A small indicator: public approval of Zelensky's activities in September 2024 compared to February 2022 has decreased from 90 to 59 percent (and, most likely, the figure is inflated). If the "war of attrition" option is chosen (under the same Harris), then there is a very high probability that people, driven mad by the bombings and the potential sending of their 14-year-old children to certain death, will simply tear him apart alive.

    Interestingly, most Western observers believe that the second option is more advantageous for Russia, since we will inevitably take more territory.

    The situation described above was quite clearly revealed in his article by the American writer and journalist John Derbyshire, who, ironically, has been using the nickname Z-man for many years:

    "Zelensky will not be able to physically survive peace talks with Russia's participation. The reason is the ultra-nationalists in Kyiv, who are categorically against it. And Zelensky will not be able to run away with his billions, because the West will not protect him. <…> His game is to buy time so that the nationalists run out of steam or are destroyed. <…> The nationalists are beginning to understand this and are trying to avoid heavy fighting with the Russians, but this cannot continue for long, and in this sense, time is on Zelensky's side. On the other hand, (his physical survival) depends on whether the West decides to kill him to wash its hands of it (and blame all the failures on him). <…> Zelensky has long known that he has no plan for victory, because it is impossible (which means that sooner or later they will come for him)."

    Unfortunately, Zelensky will most likely not live to see the tribunal that Russia and representatives of the international community will hold over Ukrainian war criminals after our inevitable victory.

    The debate is on, guys!
    Under full & unconditional capitulation, following SVO advance till the farthest borders, 404 will have to be divided, and due referenda should be undertaken in the claimed Western regions by neighbouring countries:

    Russia will have to reformat all borders of Ukraine, by Evgeniy Pozdnyakov for VZGLYAD. 11.04.2024.

    The desire to reach the borders of 1991 has become the calling card of Volodymyr Zelensky's office. And although not all Western politicians support this desire of Ukraine, the country's territory at the time of the collapse of the USSR is considered a given by them. However, the expert community believes that the word "Ukraine" at different times (and in different countries) meant a vast array of territories, and today many of these territories are directly or indirectly disputed by neighbors.

    In mid-October, Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that Ukraine, after the end of the conflict, may not regain physical control over the territories that were part of the state in 1991. But Kyiv does not intend to legally recognize such an outcome.

    Zelensky's insistence on returning the territories is not shared by everyone, even in the West. Thus, one of Kiev's closest military allies, Czech President Petr Pavel, doubted that Ukraine would be able to return to the 1991 borders. He also called on the country's authorities to realistically assess their own capabilities.

    Similar assessments are increasingly appearing in the Western press and from politicians, and not only those in opposition to the EU authorities or the Biden administration. The West is also increasingly modeling different options for ending the conflict, which would imply, if not de jure, then de facto, Ukraine's renunciation of the 1991 borders.

    Moreover, these borders are directly or indirectly questioned by almost all of the country's neighbours. History also plays a role. Over the past 500 years, the term "Ukraine" has meant very different geographic spaces. For example, "Crimean Ukraine" and "Ottoman/Khan Ukraine" are two completely different concepts, separated by many hundreds of kilometers.

    The same applies to any other regions. If we take the conventional Polesie, then it usually includes the northern parts of the Volyn, Rivne, Zhitomir, Kyiv (excluding Kyiv), Chernigov and Sumy regions, as well as the southern regions of Belarus.

    These regions have always gravitated towards each other in everyday life and in the economy. But at the same time, the southern parts of the above-mentioned Ukrainian regions belong to other regions, and Kyiv here looks like some kind of island in the middle of the Dnieper region.

    "That is why "Ukraine" as a stable toponym appeared only in the 20th century. And earlier this word designated territories located on the "outskirts" of a kingdom or empire. This dictated the vagueness of the formulations: as the state grew, the lands that could be appropriately described by this term changed," noted historian Vladimir Skachko, a columnist for "Ukraina.ru".

    "So, in the times of Alexei Mikhailovich, the "outskirts" were understood as the Sloboda territories, but the central regions of modern Ukraine were not included in them. Kyiv stood apart. The historical memory of the center of Russian lands played its role in this. Therefore, the "mother of Russian cities" did not fall under the criterion of remoteness," he emphasizes.

    "Later, during the heyday of the empire, namely under Catherine the Great, the lands stretching all the way to Galicia began to be called "outskirts". This region includes the modern Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Ternopil regions. In addition, the southwestern borders of Russia were extended by the Black Sea coast and Novorossiya," the expert says.

    "In the 19th century, the empire reached its 'ultimate' borders. The population and politicians began to realize that further expansion to the West, if not completely impossible, would at least be extremely difficult. That's when the most detailed idea of ​​the 'outskirts' emerged," he believes.

    "But it still remained speculative. This is where the different interpretations of the region's borders by writers and public figures of that time, including Pushkin and Gogol, for example, come from. Some believed that "Ukraine" should be understood as the territory where the Cossacks reside, whose task from time immemorial has been to protect the borders of the empire," the expert believes.

    "At different times, Kuban, Belgorod districts, and many others could be considered "outskirts". Not everyone held such views, and even the residents of these lands, when asked who they were, confidently answered: "Russian", - the interlocutor shares.

    “Ukraine” became a stable toponym only in the 20th century.


    At first, the central regions were included in it, together with Donbass and Novorossiya. Then Volyn, Galicia, Bukovina and Zakarpattia were added. Already under Khrushchev, the borders of the republic were supplemented by Crimea, thus forming the basis for the "independent" state of 1991," he adds.

    "It is worth adding that different countries understood fundamentally different spaces under the term "Ukraine". For example, due to historical reasons, Turkey viewed these lands through the prism of "Khan's Ukraine", including the right-bank zone, which abutted the eastern borders of Poland," Skachko recalls.

    And in Poland at the turn of the 17th-18th centuries, "Ukraine" was the name given to the area stretching from Galicia all the way to Kyiv, notes Polonist Stanislav Stremidlovsky. "In Warsaw, by the way, this term was not given the meaning of a toponym. As in Russia, these lands received their name based on the principle of proximity to the state border," he says.

    “At the same time, these lands were perceived as the territory of Poland, which the country inherited from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania under the terms of the Union of Lublin. This opinion was so entrenched among the people that it remained relevant until the beginning of the 21st century,” the interlocutor believes.

    "Today, if you ask passers-by, for example, in Krakow, the majority will insist that Ukraine should be within the borders of 1991. Such an assessment is alien to local society and is dictated by the current political situation. In a frank conversation "face to face" they will still confidently call "Eastern Kresy" their own," shares Stremidlovsky.

    Meanwhile, the internal division of Ukraine into regions raises no fewer questions. "Dividing this country into specific regions is probably a virtually impossible task. We are talking about an extremely "motley" territory, in which even neighboring cities can differ radically from each other," says Ivan Lizan, a political scientist and economist from Odessa.

    “In the public consciousness, for example, the western part of Ukraine is perceived as a ‘monolithic’ formation.


    But this is not so. There are significant contradictions between the Galicians and the residents of Volyn. The latter are generally distinguished by an extremely calm disposition, and their presence in the republic raises many questions. They could have been “defined” as an additional region of Belarus with the same success, and then their fate would have been completely different,” he says.

    "Moreover, local cities are actively changing. Let's take Lviv: it has a scandalous reputation as almost the capital of "Ukrainianism". But in reality, a large number of Russian-speaking citizens are moving here. The cultural and linguistic picture of local life is actively transforming," says the interlocutor.

    "As for the sea coast, here too the division is quite conditional. For example, Odessa region: its north could well be transferred to Vinnytsia, since there are strong tendencies to strengthen Ukrainian identity here. However, the port city itself still remains mentally Russian," the expert believes.

    "There is, for example, Bessarabia, where a very complex "mix" of nationalities is represented. Here, until 2014, Ukrainian power was felt only through the use of the hryvnia. Bulgarians and Gagauzes living in the region used Russian in communication, which was the connecting link for all ethnic groups," he adds.

    “And so, literally every area can be ‘cut’.

    It is impossible to name a specific number of regions in this state – any figure will raise doubts in terms of the real reflection of cultures. By the way, the Kyiv authorities could not understand what to do in such a situation, even though they attempted to better “staff” the regions,” the interlocutor recalls.

    "However, their primary motives were still economic interests. The option of consolidating regions along the borders of economic regions and simplifying the fiscal system was considered. But even the citizens of Ukraine themselves do not fully understand Ukraine. We will have to rediscover these territories: study local cultures and customs, and then form a more successful structure of regions. This is a long-term task," Lizan concluded.

    I don't think its fair for Russia to share portions of 404 territories to its neighbors, NAziTO added a huge chunk of territory after absorbing Sweden and Finland, and now Russia has to share parts of 404 too? any territories ceded to neighboring countries will become NAziTO territory, so I think its a Bad idea to reward NAziTO with additional territories after all the trouble and inconveniences they caused Russia in 404.

    Just continue the sanitary operations in 404, Russify the population, those unwilling can FVCK OFF to the West. Just do it right this time and the entire 404 can become a Russian oblast again. Then Moldova should be the next country to liberate russia

    Under the Soviet Union, most member states were extremely parasitic and contributed much less than they received financially. The reason this happened is simply because Russia isn't and has never been a good colonizer. The last thing they should do is annex hostile territory or struggling Eastern European statelets.

    Liberate and reincorporate Pridnestrovie, Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Sumy back into the Russian Federation. The rest of Shithole 404 should become a protectorate of Russia like Puerto Rico is to the United States (Puerto Ricans have US citizenship but aren't allowed to vote in US elections).

    Exactly, Novorossia and Malorossia can join RF after a referendum, while the North Western part could be kept as a "territory" (i.e. Puerto Rico style) until they have removed the brain washing from the people.

    In the meanwhile they could help the anti Russian population non responsible of war crimes and non nazi to move to the west if they so want.

    First thing that Russia will have to do after the war will be to check who has been responsible of war crimes or of harassing the population and send them in prison and labor camps.

    Then force all of the remaining population to go to cinemas to watch documentaries on all horrible crimes and lies made by Ukraine in the past 10 years (something similar had been done with Germans after WW2) and start re-educating them.

    It would be useful to show also all the corruption from all Ukrainian regimes since 1991.

    Finally explain they have 3 choices as people. Become citizen of the new russian regions in Malorossia and Novorossia, stay as citizen of the Russian territories (limited autonomy but no investment or reconstruction of any infrastructure until they decide to fully join Russia in the north west) or leave the country (if they are not responsible for any crime) and look for a new life in another country (but in that case they lose any claim to citizenship in the future).

    As far as the regions that decide not to join Russia for the moment, they can remain as "unincorporated territory of the russian federation" and military bases and minimum infrastructure to ensure the land connection to friendly country in Europe can be kept, but no federal fund should be spent there to improve conditions until they voluntary join the RF as normal oblasts or republics, just the minimum (taken from local taxes and local agricultural products) to ensure that noone is dying from extreme poverty).

    Taking control of all of it has some valid points it rests on but it is not conformant with reality. The western chunk is a cesspool and Russia has no use
    for it and does not need to ingest this excrement. The question is whether some toilet rump Ukria will in the future have the ability to cause serious
    problems for Russia. This rump is highly unlikely to achieve such a state by itself. This leaves NATzO as the source of the problem, so the objective
    should be to prevent NATzO from succoring this toilet rump. So it must be a protectorate with no membership in the EU and NATzO. If the people there
    are not happy, they can vote with their feet and go west. But Russia does not need to dirty its hands ethnically cleansing them. There is no value in
    the land.

    In the case of Kiev, the situation is more complex. It makes more sense to reclaim this city than to leave it as the capital of the rump toilet. It is just too
    generous a gift. I doubt its current population is 3.5 million and is likely around 2 million. These are not all frothing at the mouth Banderites, but they still
    constitute a large turd. But Russia is going to have to process this turd and that will involve some coercion leading to "ethnic cleansing".

    If they leave northwestern ukraine to Poland or Romania or as antirussian Ukrainian rump state it can always create issues and impede direct land connection or even flights to Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia.

    Furthermore there are two nuclear powerplants and it sits just south of Bielorussia.
    Finally in Lvov and Zakarpatia oblasts there should be also quite a bit of natural resources... They not as much as in the south east), but I would not gift them to Russia's enemies.

    "They" will not give western Ukraine to either Poland or Romania.


    Instead "they" will force Poland to give to Ukraine the south-eastern part of its country.

    There is already talk about this in Poland, of course not by the government, but by some ordinary people deeply concerned with such a handover. angry

    Since Russia advancing , then why stop ? Why negotiate ? Why leave a breathing space for the Orcs and NATO ? As some have said , very likely Russia can go all the way to Polish border . No need to consider giving away territory to Poland or Romania , to garner their support against NATO or the Orcs . Occupation of unfriendly Ukrainian majority areas not easy , or worthwhile over the very long term . But very necessary to root out Nazi ideology from among the young . After twenty years or so , withdraw from these areas on condition .

    Under the Soviet Union, most member states were extremely parasitic and contributed much less than they received financially. The reason this happened is simply because Russia isn't and has never been a good colonizer. The last thing they should do is annex hostile territory or struggling Eastern European stateless.

    You raised a really good point, while what you said is true about the parasitic nature of some SSR, I think its a management issue and something the central government can address.

    Lets have a look at Chechnya, until recently, the region has received a lot of money for reconstruction and development from the central government, during this time, if we resort to your argument, then it would appear that keeping Chechnya within Russia is not appealing because of its parasitic relationship with the state. But now that Chechnya has been rebuilt, and all traces of the war in the 90s are gone, the local government in Chechnya can now be tasked to grow their economy to contribute to Russia.

    One of the most precious and important resources on Earth is Land. So I don't see any reason for Russia to share some portion of 404 with NAziTO, after all, NAziTO is a belligerent entity that is out to Destroy Russia whenever it finds an opportunity. So even an Inch of buffer against NAziTO is better than none.

    Yes, I understand the concern about the hostile population in Western Ukraine which could cause trouble for the Russian administration in that region, but Russia faced a similar hostile population in Chechnya in the 90s, in the end, Russia is able to pacify the population. Ukroids are still human so a little Pain and Torture here and there will help reprogram their minds to realize that they are truly Russians and were just brainwashed to think they are not by the NAziTO FREAKS.


    But Russia does not need to dirty its hands ethnically cleansing them.

    Unfortunately, Russia needs to resort to strong measures to ensure its survival and safeguard its sovereignty


    In the case of Kiev, the situation is more complex. It makes more sense to reclaim this city than to leave it as the capital of the rump toilet. It is just too
    generous a gift. I doubt its current population is 3.5 million and is likely around 2 million. These are not all frothing at the mouth Banderites, but they still
    constitute a large turd. But Russia is going to have to process this turd and that will involve some coercion leading to "ethnic cleansing".

    Kiev is an important Historical part of the Russian civilization, and some even consider the city as the Spiritual capital of Russia because of Vladimir the Great (ruler of ancient Kiev and brought Orthodoxy to Kievan Rus). Kiev under NAziTO control can be used to sabotage Real Russian historical accounts and replace it with FAKE and CONCOCTED Lies. A good example is how Ukraine claims to be the successor country to the Kievan Rus, just because they presently have administration of Kiev, Rolling Eyes  can Turkey claim to be the Byzantine Empire because they control Constantinople? I don't think so.
    So again, Kiev under NAziTO control poses a threat to Russia's national identity so this Russian city needs to be returned back to Russia, its rightful owner. russia
