Mamoulian War

Odesa regional administration: "attack in Sevastopol" is provocation and manipulation by Russia. https://t.me/UkraineNow/15784 Google translation: The "attack" in Sevastopol is an open provocation of Russia A number of Russian media reported on Ukraine's alleged attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. These are lies and manipulations of the enemy. "The liberation of our Crimea from the occupiers will take place differently and much more effectively," - Odesa OVA

You are correct, I t looks like I have mistranslated few of the sources I read and watched about that incident. They were indeed speaking about HIMARS and GRADs, but they were more or less trying to rule both of them out... my bad, so sorry for providing incorrect info I have seen some of the pictures yesterday from the site, and the most plausible outcome is, that it was an explosion inside of the building. The remnants of the building are pretty much ruling out any kind of explosion from the "sky". Some of the evidence seemed like, that some of the POWs were dead before the explosion and a some soldiers were definitely burned, which also shows the evidence of the unlikeliness of use of HIMARS or GRAD. Most of the sources are also coming to the same conclusion as you. Cover up of mistreatment of POWs. There is also one theory, that the owner of Wagner did order this, due to the "mismanagement" of funds, paid out by Kremlin to cover the expenses with POWs...

Two days ago, This Russian Soldier (Vitaliy Valerievich Aroshanov) has released a video, how he tortured, castrated and then killed a Ukrainina POW. Yesterday, Russia attacked a public bus stop in Mykolaiv with a rocket. Not linking here, due to clearly violating the board rules, but if someone would really like to see the proof, you can find in somewhere in the thread about that **** above. Yesterday also Russia put all imprisoned Ukrainian POWs from Maripoľ in a single building in occupied Olenivka, and launched MLRS Grad into it. Resulting in 50 dead POW and 130 wounded. And you are wondering, why some people might think, that it is acceptable to celebrate every Russian and collaborator demise in this war 🤷‍♂️

University of Yale has published a study about how Russia is obfuscating their economy performance under sanctions, and gives an insight about the real impact. 118 pages long. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4167193 very short summary can be found here: This content cannot be displayed until agreeing to our use of Social Media cookies.

Meanwhile in Russia 🙀 You know, that your army is in deep ****, when some units give you an opportunity to become lieutenant in 4 months 🤷‍♂️

The only people I hear screaming, are the trolls like you when they are reading all day long, how many orcs were put to sleep again and again after HIMARS o’clock 🤣 Especially when their group travelled more than 6000 kms to reap what they saw 😏

Thank you. It worked 🙂

And what about BG1 Quayle? Few of my friends are asking too 🤷‍♂️

Hmm, was it so short that it’s already over? I can’t see it mentioned anywhere.

Of course it never was, it was just a Russian scapegoat to move the blame from themselves. As always...

Another high profile target was hit yesterday. UA informators and partisans are sharing very valuable info.

And another example today, why any deal with Russia is just a waste of paper, ink and time. Just a single day after signing the grain export deal, Russia bombed the Odessa grain terminals with Kalibr missiles 🤷‍♂️

In the beginning of June, I have posted a Tweet about destruction of Wagner Base deep in LNR with hundreds of their mercenaries blown up. At the time it was just a rumour, although Girkin the **** was tweeting little bit about it as well, in the UA, there was almost complete silence about this mission. Now finally after month and a half, there is finally official confirmation of this attack from the Ukrainian side, in a nice article, how the information is collected behind enemy lines. The number of killed mercenaries is between 50 - 200, which is a pretty big blow, as most of these Wagners were highly trained and disciplined compared to DNR/LNR "volunteers". https://kyivindependent.com/national/exclusive-inside-ukraines-covert-operation-to-take-out-elite-wagner-group-mercenaries-in-donbas

Good news for people afraid of The Winter Draghi signed new energy deal with Algeria already, and von der Leyen has visited Baku to propose new energy deals with Azerbaijan. Few more small steps, and Russia will lose a big chunk of the market, and will have no more opportunities to even try to blackmail EU...

A Russian's TV propaganda new low. Just sent your son to get killed in Ukraine, and you can get new car 🤷‍♂️

BTW, official statement on all the videos, which "miraculously" popped up after a lot of HIMARSes hit the right targets...

TLDR: It is not as bad, as some people are talking about, but could be worse, if EU does nothing.

I am guessing, the classic artillery might not be taken into consideration, but probably MLRS attacks are counted. IIRC there was a number released by British, that RU has launched over 2k Iskanders only (unable to find the source now, so feel free to correct me someone, if I remember it wrong), and they are shooting all kinds of missiles from planes, ships, submarines and land vehicles...

Yes, I know a lot about the UA situation pre-war. I had more than a few business trips there And yes you are correct, that even in this war, you cannot expect 180 degree turn on lifestyle, but it changed a lot in last 4 months. Zelenskyi's administration tried a little bit to lower the influence of Oligarchs even before the war, and currently in the war time, there are more cases of UA army and police fighting the corruption than anytime before. Because everyone has already witnessed, what has corruption done to the performance of RU army 🤷‍♂️ And no the corruption in UA will not magically disappear after the war, it will stay there, but hopefully being on the EU candidate list, will be enough motivation to lowering it on par with EU "standards". Because the sooner, they get into EU structures, the sooner, they will be rid of the RU threat.

Yeah, you are correct, the clear terrorists here are Russians 🤷‍♂️

How the people know, that this is Ukrainians, and not Russian fakes? They have captured a lot of these weapons during the February and March around Kyiv. Also Sputnik is pretty solid Russian propagandist news, so I would not be very convinced, that this is just another attempt "hybrid attack to the west", which wants to spread doubts into people willing to support the Ukraine with weapons. The funny thing is, that most of these videos, including "100% guaranteed news, that Ukraine sold HIMARSes and CEZARs" to Russia have started to spread as soon, as the Russian positions have been HIMARSed to the Mars all over the Ukraine... Completely forgetting the fact, that HIMARSes and CEZARs are heavily under the microsoft of USA and France, as these weapons are capable to hit Russian targets in Russia as well. If anything like that would be true, USA and France would already know about that, and would not signed 4 more HIMARSes and 8 more CEZARs to the battlefield.

You are probably correct, but there are still enough lunatics in Russia as was deceased Zhirinovski or is Girkin, who would be more unpredictable than Putin, and would be willing to nuke Europe. Especially Poland and Baltics.

OK guys, I am completely lost after yesterday, is here anyone with a military tactic education, who can give me some enlightenment on what is the endgoal of Russian military around Kherson, and why they have chosen the tactic they are using there? On Sunday, UA bombed and pretty much destroyed all buildings at Chornobaivka Airport, which also led to 5 high ranking officers being KIA. Not more than two day after, RU have put again new helicopters on the airfield, which of course prompted another (28th already) attack of UA against the airport, leading to another big explosion... Seriously, there must be some kind of master tactical plan behind this, but as much as I am trying to find any logical conclusion to this behaviour, I am unable to find one... No one on this earth can be that stupid... In other news, according to LNR militia chief, UA yesterday HIMARSed depot in Luhansk, and dealt a massive blow to the military air defense unit, which ensures the security of Luhansk. And during last 5 days, 33 high ranking officers of RU Army were officially confirmed by various Russian sources as KIA, 13 of them were Majors and higher ranks. UA longe range units step up their efficientcy a lot. No wonder, that RU was issuing nuclear threats again yesterday.

If Ukraine falls because of West stopping to care, and remove the sanctions, Russia will reinforce themselves and loads of current military officers will be shot for corruption and bad performance. They will learn from all their mistakes in UA, and from the gas and oil money, they will rebuild again. Next time, they will definitely not hesitate to attack eastern NATO members, maybe not directly, but through hybrid warfare. As an example, currently second most powerful political party in Slovakia is extremely Pro-Russian, and is sowing hatred against Ukrainian refugees. If they win the next election, Russia will have after Orban, one more white horse in NATO, and they will definitely use them during the recovery time to the maximum, to destabilize EU. And now imagine people like Salvini, Le Pen, Shroeder and Trump in the West as a leaders of their countries as well... There will not be many politicians in the West, who would be very eager to honor Article 5. Probably Poland and Nordic countries would be among the few, who would honor it in any case.
