Military: Russians strengthened assault groups in Vovchansk


Karina Bondar - 17 September 2024 | 15:49

UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Sep 17 — Over the past day, the Russian army conducted logistics in Vovchansk in the Kharkiv direction, evacuated losses, and strengthened assault groups, reported the “Kharkiv” group of forces. 

Russia started its new offensive north and northeast in the Kharkiv region in May, but Ukrainian troops have stabilized the frontline in this section since. Now, heavy battles are ongoing in and around Vovchansk (three miles from the border, 46 miles away from Kharkiv) and near Lyptsi (six miles from the border, 12 miles from Kharkiv.)

The “Kharkiv” reported that near Hlyboke, the Russians are relocating personnel to strengthen their frontline positions.

Near Lukiantsi, the Russians are setting up a communication system and logistics and preparing for assaults, “Kharkiv” wrote.

Near Tykhe, Russians are conducting aerial reconnaissance to detect units of the Defense Forces.

Over the past day, Russia conducted 26 kamikaze drone strikes in the Kharkiv direction, one airstrike using a glide bomb (KAB), and fired 321 times at Ukrainian positions.

According to “Kharkiv,” the Russian army lost 62 troops over the past day in the Kharkiv direction.

In the Kharkiv direction, the Russians also lost 59 pieces of weapons and military equipment over the past day  .  .  .

Dozens of Russian Airfields Are in the Range of Western Long-Range Missiles. We've Gathered Them on a Single Map

Illia Kabachynskyi  |  Sep 18, 2024  |  14:14

Western allies are close to granting Ukraine permission to strike Russian territory with their long-range missiles. And there are plenty of potential targets.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated that Western long-range weapons and the permission to strike Russian territory with them will not be a new 'red line' for Vladimir Putin: the situation won't change, and no greater escalation is expected.

The permission to strike deep into Russian territory with American and European long-range missiles has been discussed for months. For Ukraine, this is a critical moment: at Russian airfields near the border, there are dozens or even hundreds of aircraft, and Russian aviation bombs Ukrainian cities and military positions daily. Western missiles would allow Ukraine to destroy both the aircraft and the airfields where they are stationed.  .  .

India Redirects Artillery Shell Sales for Ukraine Through Europe Despite Russian Protests

Maryna Kulakova  |  Sep 19, 2024  |  11:03

Indian manufacturers of artillery shells have been redirecting sales to European buyers for shipment to Ukraine. New Delhi has not intervened to stop the trade despite protests from Moscow, as reported by Reuters.

The transfer of munitions to support Ukraine's defense against Russia has been occurring for over a year, according to sources and customs data. Three Indian officials stated that the Kremlin has raised this issue at least twice, including during a July meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Indian counterpart.

According to Reuters citing two sources in the Indian government and two in the defense industry, New Delhi has supplied a very small amount of munitions used by Ukraine, with one official estimating it to be less than 1% of the total arms imported by Kyiv since the war began.

According to a Spanish official and a senior Indian official, as well as a former top manager at Yantra India, a state company whose munitions are used by Ukraine, among the European countries sending Indian munitions are Italy and the Czech Republic, which is leading an initiative to supply artillery shells to Kyiv from outside the European Union.  .  .  .

Before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia was already a declining nation. This was one of the impetuses of the invasion.
Russia was/is dealing with a declining population (now made so much worse) which was causing worker shortages across the country.

Russia embarked on a propaganda/advertisement surge to invite White Christian people around the world to emigrate to Russia. Russia does not allow free immigration.

Russia had severe GDP problems on several levels before the war.

This is 'before' the war Russia started. Now, the number of young working age men has been decimated. People with particular commercial/technical skills and training, some with many years of experience, are being killed by the thousands on the frontlines of what most in the world consider to be a futile and pointless war.

Should Putin stop the war now, even today, his nation will be crippled. Russia will likely be unable to regain anything close to prestige they at were before the war. Sanctions, combined with national reputation and standing (especially of the Russian military might) are at an all time low. Russia does not have the population, money, or the expertise to simply continue on as normal with or without the war.

Putin is facing a no-win quagmire. If he quits and loses, Russia is doomed. If he continues the war without a complete victory, Russia will not be able to sustain the effort. Putin is caught in a draining whirlpool of his own making and is currently simply riding around the edges of it trying to find any escape.

Even if Putin wins, he has damaged/obliterated so much of Ukraine, he will be the ruler of a wasteland which will take several decades, billions upon billions of dollars, and an incredible amount of manpower to rebuild. Crimea is an example. Russia may claim to 'control' Crimea, but Russia is in no position to put Crimea to any use. Putin does not have the money, the resources, or the people necessary to be able to recreate the thriving economy which he sought to conquer and exploit. 

All of this does not bode well for the world. With Putin wounded, albeit self inflicted, and trapped in a situation which has no good choices, then there is no real restraint for him, as an old sociopath in ill health, to stop him from unleashing nuclear weapons on the world.

Putin is quoted as saying, 'There is no world without Russia.' He may have meant this more literally than most people assumed.

Let us all pray that it does not come to that.

The correct way to respond to Russian threats is for NATO to go to DEFCON TWO and rattle their cage.

Being nice and polite to the Russians doesn't work. Those bastards only understand a punch in the face or a gun aimed at them. That's it.

Playing with nukes will most assuredly get Russia obliterated - literally.  Most of the Russian nukes will most likely not fire or, if launched, not detonate (they'll squib), but the few that do not get shot down and that detonate will (a) not leave much of a lasting scar anywheres - anyone visited Hiroshima or Nagasaki within the past 30 years - but will definitely result in Russia being nuked to a fair-thee-well.  I doubt if even Putin is stupid enough to go down that path, notwithstanding how many of his American supporters think he is.

I agree. The Russians made some big noise about using their dreaded hypersonic missiles against us if we didn't let them have Ukraine and what happened? Nothing. They didn't have that many such missiles and they squandered them destroying hospitals and apartment buildings.

To be honest, if the Russians had functional nuclear weapons then I expect they would have used one or two by now.

Makes me wonder if they have any at all.

Volunteers dying as Russia’s war dead tops 70,000

More than 70,000 people fighting in Russia’s military have now died in Ukraine, according to data analysed by the BBC.

And for the first time, volunteers - civilians who joined the armed forces after the start of the war - now make up the highest number of people killed on the battlefield since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in 2022.

Every day, the names of those killed in Ukraine, their obituaries and photographs from their funerals are published across Russia in the media and on social networks.

BBC Russian and the independent website Mediazona have collated these names, along with names from other open sources, including official reports.

We checked that the information had been shared by authorities or relatives of the deceased - and that they had been identified as dying in the war.

New graves in cemeteries have also helped provide the names of soldiers killed in Ukraine - these are usually marked by flags and wreaths sent by the defence ministry.

We have identified the names of 70,112 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, but the actual number is believed to be considerably higher. Some families do not share details of their relatives’ deaths publicly - and our analysis does not include names we were unable to check, or the deaths of militia in Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine............

Australia has mothballed a $550m tank fleet. Ukraine would like a word

Matthew Knott  |  September 20, 2024 — 11.09am

Ukrainian soldiers could be given retired Australian battle tanks in their fight against invading Russian forces, as the Albanese government works with the Biden administration on a plan to send them to the battlefield.

This masthead can reveal that, after previously appearing to rule out providing tanks to Ukraine, the government is considering its request and working with the US to make the transfer happen.

One of the nation’s longest serving army chiefs joined calls for Australia to provide its old tanks to Ukraine, saying he was baffled why the decision to send them hadn’t been made already.

The July retirement of the 59 American-made M1A1 Abrams tanks, which were never used in combat and are being replaced by newer models from this month, has focused attention on whether they will be put into storage, disposed of or given to Ukraine.  .  .  .

https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/australia-has-mothballed-a-550m-tank-fleet-ukraine-would-like-a-word-20240919-p5kbsx.html


The role of the Biden regime here is to delay or even block the transfer to Ukraine as long as possible.

Evidence Confirms Russian Responsibility for Attack on Red Cross Humanitarian Convoy

Ivan Khomenko  |  Sep 21, 2024  |  15:17

Ukrainian authorities have collected conclusive evidence linking Russia to the deadly attack on an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) humanitarian convoy in Donetsk Oblast. The strike, which occurred on September 12, resulted in the deaths of three aid workers.

According to the Ukrainian Office of the Prosecutor General, the incident involved artillery fire and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strike, specifically targeting the convoy as it distributed humanitarian aid in the village of Virolyubivka.

Investigators have confirmed that the attack was carried out using 152-mm fragmentation artillery shells and a Russian Lancet loitering munition. The Lancet UAV, which is equipped with a laser targeting system, is designed to independently locate and strike targets. The evidence gathered from the scene, including fragments of the artillery shells and drone wreckage, points to a deliberate assault on the Red Cross vehicles.

“This evidence not only identifies the weapons used but clearly indicates the intentional nature of the attack on humanitarian personnel and their vehicles,” stated Ukrainian Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin.

Further analysis of the site, along with damage assessments of nearby structures and vehicles, suggests that the artillery positions were located near the occupied village of Yahidne in Bakhmut district, Donetsk Oblast. Ukrainian intelligence indicates that Russian forces, specifically the 1065th Artillery Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division and the artillery units of the 200th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, were responsible for the attack.  .  .

Putin Ally Warns Russia's Nuclear Weapons in 'Full Combat Readiness'

Newsweek
By Natalie Venegas
Sep 21, 2024

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, warned on Friday that Moscow's nuclear weapons are in "full combat readiness."

Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, tensions between North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries and the Kremlin have continued as NATO leaders have increasingly warned that direct conflict with Moscow is a realistic danger as it has more nuclear warheads than any other country, according to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICANW). This comes after Putin and senior Russian officials have repeatedly threatened nuclear escalation against Kyiv and its Western partners since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

According to Tass, a Russian state news agency, Lavrov said in an interview with Sky News Arabia that while "nobody wants a nuclear war," he warned the country's nuclear weapons are in "full combat readiness."

"We talk about red lines, expecting that our assessments, statements will be heard by intelligent, decision-making people. It is not serious to say that if tomorrow you do not do what I demand of you, we will press the 'red button,'" the Russian foreign minister said. "I am convinced that in such situations, decision makers have an idea of what we are talking about. Nobody wants a nuclear war."

He added that Russia possesses weapons "that will have serious implications for the handlers of the Ukrainian regime."

Putin Ally Warns Russia's Nuclear Weapons in 'Full Combat Readiness'


I doubt that very much.  The last time the Russians actually conducted an actual nuclear test was in October 1990, and ever since then, there have been plenty of stories over the years about embarrassing failures.  At some point, all the Russian nuclear saber rattling that has gone on since February 2022 just becomes a joke.

Russian State TV Discusses Options For Seizing Alaska

https://www.newsweek.com/russian-state-tv-options-seizing-alaska-1956995

Quote
Russian State TV recently broadcasted a segment of a talk show during which the hosts discussed the potential of Alaska joining Russia.

In the show, the host makes a joke saying: "Do you know what they call Alaska? Ice Crimea."

He then adds that Alaska will "one day return to its native shores."

The hosts are referencing the fact that Alaska once "belonged" to Russia, before being sold to the United States in 1866. This echoes rhetoric used in the war in Ukraine, that Ukraine "belonged" to Russia, and therefore should rejoin its so-called native land.

Since I was a child, this has always confused me.
How do you 'nuke' territory which you want to conquer and dominate?

Have never understood the 'nuclear' thing. If you 'nuke' it, then it is no good to anyone.
Not only that, but Ukraine and Russia are close neighbors. If Russia 'nukes' Ukraine, they are in fact 'nuking' themselves.
The logistics of the idea are a mystery ... ?
