Ukraine eliminates 5,000 Russian soldiers from battle, including elite brigade members: report

By Allie Griffin
February 13, 2023

Ukraine took out more than 5,000 Russian soldiers from battle — killing, wounding or imprisoning the troops — after Russian forces attempted to collect intel on Ukrainian defense capabilities in Vuhledar, according to a report.

A Ukrainian official told Politico the Ukrainians eliminated the thousands of soldiers, including members of an elite Russian brigade, when the 155th naval infantry troops stormed the coal-mining town in the Donetsk region in late January.

Ukrainian soldiers also killed the brigade’s command staff and destroyed 130 pieces of equipment, including 36 tanks, said Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, head of the united press center of the Tavriskiy District of Ukrainian defense forces.

He added that Russian forces were typically losing 150 to 300 marines a day near Vuhledar.

However, some estimates are even higher. UK officials said a stunning 824 Russian troops are dying each day, citing Ukrainian General Staff updates.

Ukrainian marines posted a video of Russian troops piling up on a battlefield near Vuhledar.

“Go make a cemetery! Gosh, the first column went there and blew up, and then the second one went exactly the same route,” Ukrainian artillerymen said on the video, according to the outlet.

Russian nationalists fretted over the defeat, with some Russian military bloggers calling for public trials against high-ranking commanders who they say have been repeating the same mistakes. They questioned commanders for sending out elite troops as the first line of defense, the Institute for the Study of War reported in its most recent update.

Moldovan leader outlines Russian ‘plan’ to topple government

https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-politics-government-maia-sandu-152d2353f4c18bb84348f5d1656edb98

Quote
Moldova’s president outlined Monday what she described as a plot by Moscow to overthrow her country’s government using external saboteurs, put the nation “at the disposal of Russia” and derail its aspirations to one day join the European Union.

President Maia Sandu’s briefing comes a week after neighboring Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country had intercepted plans by Russian secret services to destroy Moldova, claims that were later confirmed by Moldovan intelligence officials.

“The plan for the next period involves actions with the involvement of diversionists with military training, camouflaged in civilian clothes, who will undertake violent actions, attack some state buildings, and even take hostages,” Sandu told reporters at a briefing.

Exactly the same way that Russia started agitating in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea.

Transnistria is the location of a large Soviet-era Russian military installation.  Moldova would be a great place from which to open a new front against Ukraine.

Russia would have the greatest advantage if forces attack from Belarus, Russia, Crimea, and Moldova simultaneously.

The lackluster Western support effort gives Putin time to overrun Ukraine before NATO and EU materiel arrives in sufficient volume to defeat Russia.

There is no reason to hold back jets, tanks, and missiles now that Russia appears to be expanding the war to Moldova, in addition to Belarus, Crimea, and Donbas.

So, Russia is now preparing to commit an act of war against Moldova.  So neighborly of the orcs.

They're already spread pretty thin, man and fire power.  I'd be suprised if Mad Vlad would spread his mayhem at this point.  But intiitally I didn' t think he'd invade Ukraine either.

Dilution is not his friend at this point.

Maybe so, but sending in specialists to engineer, if not directly stage, a coup amounts to an act of war against a neighboring sovereign.

Agree, but the truth be known is that vlad and Xi have been on a non-stop world wide government destabilization spree for some time now.

In fact, if you could peel the onion back enough, we'd probably see some Klaus NWO-climate scam- connections too with at least Xi.

I doubt if Xi, or most other Chinese, would bother with someone like the NWO conspiracy, for the simple reason that the Chinese culturally see themselves as superior to everyone else.  Why would they feel the need to get into bed with a Western European conspiracy?

It is far more to Xi's benefit to get the US and Russia into a war to wear each other down while conserving his own forces.

You really think the NWO / Global Climate Scam is a conspiracy theory? 

Interesting......

But to your point, it helps weaken the west.  And that is the end intent of the Chicoms.

@Kamaji

This reeks of pure desperation for a victory somewhere,anywhere.

And since they have had zero luck defeating Ukraine after months of losing thousands of Russian soldiers,it is NOT going to go well for them.

I SUSPECT this MIGHT be a desperation play by the Neo-Soviets,hoping the UN will step in and order the west to quit suppyling the Neo-Soviets with weapons and food and demanding a cease fire with all troops from all antagonists to hold in place wherever they are by using the excuse that they are trying to stop the beginning of another world war by allowing the Neo-Soviets to "save face".

NATO to increase targets for ammunition stockpiles as war depletes reserves

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/natos-stoltenberg-we-plan-increase-targets-ammunition-stockpiles-2023-02-13/

Quote
NATO said on Monday it will increase targets for stockpiling ammunition as Kyiv is burning through shells much faster than Western countries can produce them and after a year of conflict in Ukraine has left allied stocks badly depleted.

"The current rate of Ukraine's ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production," NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters ahead of a two-day meeting of the alliance's defence ministers in Brussels.

NATO planned to increase its targets for munitions stockpiles, Stoltenberg said, adding that the alliance had completed a survey of remaining stocks.

Reuters, citing a NATO source, reported earlier that the alliance was expected to raise stockpiling targets.

The West needed to ramp up production as the waiting time for large-calibre ammunition has increased to 28 months from 12 months, Stoltenberg said.

Even before Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 last year, many NATO countries fell short of meeting the alliance's stockpiling targets, as officials considered wars of attrition with large-scale artillery battles a thing of the past.

But the pace of deliveries to Ukraine, where Kyiv's troops are firing up to 10,000 artillery shells daily, has drained Western inventories and exposed holes in the efficiency, speed and manpower of supply chains.

"If Europe were to fight Russia, some countries would run out of ammunition in days," a European diplomat told Reuters.

Who knows if it even true. It could be political.

But on the other hand, anything of value that is "free" tends to be over consumed.

After Losing An Eighth Of Their Helicopters, Russian Attack Regiments Are Switching Up Their Tactics

David Axe  |  Feb 14, 2023  |  09:20pm EST


After taking a brutal beating in the first year of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine, the Russian air force’s attack helicopter regiments—what’s left of them—are adopting new tactics.

They’re digging in at their front-line bases to protect against Ukrainian drone strikes, artillery barrages and sabotage. And they purportedly are combining different helicopter models in the same flights—banking on the ’copters countermeasures to provide overlapping defenses against Ukrainian surface-to-air missiles.

The Russian air force’s 11 attack helicopter brigades and regiments—together operating around 100 Kamov Ka-52s, 80 Mil Mi-28s and 150 Mil Mi-24s—have had a hard war. Those 330 helicopters in the current inventory are what’s left after the Ukrainians shot down at least 30 Ka-52s, 11 Mi-28s and 11 Mi-24s starting last February. An eighth of the pre-war force.

The Ka-52s have proved particularly vulnerable. In the war’s first few weeks,  .  .  .
