Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

The quote carried by RT is:

"If they are supplied, we will draw the appropriate conclusions and use our weapons, which we have enough of, in order to strike at those objects that we have not yet struck."

Rather than new weapons, new targets. The 'decision making centres' Putin previously referred to, presumably. Which means a direct threat to NATO personnel. Will NATO be able to sweep such an incident under the carpet, if (when?) it happens.

South Front mentioned a Polish colonel who may have been killed or is currently trapped near Severodonetsk. We shall see.

As a followup to this Soviet Storm docuseries, I recently stumbled onto another good one, although this time the dive is taken into Napoleon's invasion of Russia. This series is of a similar caliber to Soviet Storm, although the episodes are shorter and fewer. There is still a lot of information packed into them. Another window into how Russia has responded when the Terror of History shows up at its doorstep.

There is historical geopolitical context given, discussions of Russian and French strategic decisions, the makeup of the troops, many maps with descriptions of terrain, and many historical quotes - mostly men describing the carnage of the battles, the horrors of the long march amidst starvation, thirst, and fatigue, the madness of looting, or their hopes, their dreams, their doubts and fears. I also appreciated the use of classical art to set the scene, including portraits of notable characters and battlefield landscapes. This is done instead of CGI. Nice classical music, too.

I learned that certain Operations in WWII, such as Bagration, were named after officers who fought against Napoleon in this, the Patriotic War.

Next up I might start watching Bondarchuk's epic, War and Peace, which I'm thinking might be a sort of crossover between the Romance Novel thread and this one.

This scene of the Russian movie War and Peace is extraordinary. This movie is very long, around, if I remember correctly, between 8 and 12 hours, I do not know exactly. The comments about the movie are all excellent and interesting to read. They named another masterpiece about the Russia Patriotic war, this one in Biellorussia when the Nazis came in 1943. Also, the comments of this one are very good to read. Here the link to the movie, and this one is not as long as War and Peace!

The title of the film is "Come and see" by Klimov Elem.

MOSCOW, June 6. /TASS/.

"Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov slammed the decision of some NATO countries not to allow his plane to visit Serbia as unprecedented."

"According to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Lavrov's plane was denied passage in the airspace of countries surrounding Serbia. Earlier, the Serbian newspaper Vecernje Novosti reported that Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Montenegro refused to provide an air corridor for the plane of the Russian foreign minister, which was to go to Serbia."

NATO opens Northern front in war against Russia​

"Less than three weeks later, Stockholm, Sweden’s capital, has been turned into a naval garrison with the arrival of a US amphibious assault battle group, consisting of the assault ship USS Kearsarge, the dock landing ship USS Gunston Hall, the guided-missile destroyer USS Gravely and the command ship USS Mount Whitney."

"Standing on the deck of the Kearsarge, a warship so large it would be classified as a carrier in any Navy besides the United States’, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley declared his intention to make the Baltic Sea, in the words of the New York Times, a “NATO lake.”

"By pushing for the accession of Finland and Sweden as de facto members of NATO, the United States has opened up a second front in its war against Russia, turning the entire Baltic coast into a powder keg."

Moscow to move threat further away if long-range weapons supplied to Kiev, says Lavrov​

"The longer the range of weapons that Western countries will supply to Ukraine, the further Moscow will move away the line of threat from its territory, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at an online press conference on international issues on Monday."

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has already commented on the situation that will emerge with the arrival of new armaments and I can only add that the longer the range of armaments that you will supply, the further away we will move from our territory the line, beyond which Neo-Nazis can threaten the Russian Federation," Lavrov cautioned."

Poland may have made a desperate donation..?

Poland already lost about 25% of its tanks.

If they still thinking about intervening perhaps they should do it now instead of senselessly donating it to the Russian meatgrinder.

There are talks of expanding NATO into a global alliance with countries like Japan and South Korea as a counterweight to China.

They fail to understand that China has already hinted at joining the CSTO, a military alliance that includes Russia and other post-Soviet states. This will officially integrate Russia and China into a military bloc. I bet the other BRICK countries, like Brazil, will also be eager to join when this happens.

This will further divide the world into 2 parts. Forget about the East against the West. This will go fully global. South and North as well.

Definitely, giant blocs immediately reminiscent of Orwell's 1984. And with the example of Ukraine shelling and shooting itself (and blaming others), all the more so.

Quite a good point bjorn, but consider that the Warsaw government does not represent all Poles. Some Poles are obviously hypnotized by the media propaganda, but by the way, I wonder how many of them actually support this Bandera/NATO/Western narrative. I don't trust any polls and there is no reliable data, but I think this number may coincide with the number of inoculated people who think only through the prism of their own emotions fueled by mainstream media rather than with their own reason and calculation. Poland is a very weak country militarily without a well-trained army, without good equipment, which the US has taken good care of for nearly 30 years of Poland's alliance with NATO. If Belarus, a country four times smaller, really wanted to attack Poland, it could turn out that within 1 or 2 months Poland would lose militarily, and if Russia would just sneeze at Poland, everything in Poland would collapse instantly. The attempts of the Polish establishment to reunite Western Ukraine with Poland are nothing more than sick pipe dreams of irresponsible people so caught up in the false and destructive advice given by the US to Poland that they are literally now advising Poles to gather wood for the winter and walk around in flip-flops in the winter. The fact that Poland, as a poor EU country, is one of the main sponsors of Ukraine proves that the ruling elites are completely detached from reality: Trace Of Polish Colonel Spotted In Severodonetsk In Eastern Ukraine
Currently Poles in Poland are discriminated at the expense of Ukrainians in terms of health care, paying taxes, using their own language, historical policy, education and many other things. NATO/USA/Israel is trying to prepare a new conflict at the borders of Russia, this time involving Poles and Ukrainians on Polish territory.

The fact that Poland, as a poor EU country, is one of the main sponsors of Ukraine proves that the ruling elites are completely detached from reality:

The Germans promised to replenish their donated T72 tanks to Ukraine with modern Leopard 2 tanks. There was a reason why Poland gave away "free stuff". But a promise is not an agreement. It seems that the Germans have no intention of keeping their promise. They have been ripped off.

Russia will respond to the supply of multiple launch rocket systems and long-range missiles to Ukraine by conducting attacks on the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the General Staff, the Verkhovna Rada and other ministries, the Head of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov said.

Russia may strike Ukraine’s government buildings if Kiev gets rocket systems — lawmaker​

6 JUN, 2022

Andrey Kartapolov recalled that not a single strike had been carried out at the buildings of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the General Staff, the Verkhovna Rada and other ministries

YEREVAN, June 6. /TASS/. Russia will respond to the supply of multiple launch rocket systems and long-range missiles to Ukraine by targeting transport infrastructure facilities and government buildings, Head of the State Duma (the lower house of parliament) Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov told reporters on Monday.

"As our president and supreme commander-in-chief [Vladimir Putin] has said, Russia will respond by conducting attacks on the targets that we haven’t hit yet," he said in response to a question.

"Kiev’s airport continues to operate, <…> rail terminals and main railway lines also continue to operate, as well as highway bridges and many other facilities, to say nothing of government agencies, because not a single strike has been carried out at the buildings of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the General Staff, the [Verkhovna] Rada (parliament) and other ministries where decisions are made and goals are set," Kartapolov noted.

On June 1, the US authorities announced another package of military aid to Ukraine, which includes HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. US officials pointed out that Ukraine had assured Washington that those rocket systems would not be used to strike targets inside Russia. Officials added that the range of the rocket launchers would not exceed 80 kilometers. However, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on June 2 that Kiev’s assurances were worthless and could not be trusted. The United Kingdom, in turn, announced plans to provide Ukraine with M270 multiple launch rocket systems that are capable of hitting targets 70 kilometers away. The UK said that the move had been coordinated with the US.

Colonel Dariusz Majchrzak
As Russian-led forces advance through the Ukrainian defense in eastern Ukraine, more and more secrets of the Kiev regime are being revealed.
On May 6, documents of Polish Colonel Dariusz Majchrzak were found in the military positions left by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city of Severodonetsk. The documents confirm that NATO officer was deployed in Severodonetsk and now may be hiding in the Azot chemical plant.
In one of the premises left by the AFU in Severodonetsk, documents for the KIA Sorento car of Dariusz Majchrzak were found by Russian servicemen.

Colonel Dariusz Majchrzak is the Vice-Rector for Military Affairs of the War Studies University , ASzWoj, in Poland. He studied at the Officers’ Academy in Wroclaw, served in the 11th Armored Cavalry Division.
He has repeatedly participated in the organization and conduct of military exercises both at the national and international level. In 2005-2006, he served as a senior specialist of the Divisional Advisory and Training Group as part of the Polish military contingent in the Republic of Iraq.
His scientific researches are dedicated to the issues of national and international security. He studied modern threats, crisis management, mainly in the EU and in Poland.
It is still not clear if Colonel Dariusz Majchrzak was killed or if he is still in Severodonetsk, or if he left the city and Ukraine. The documents may be considered the first evidence of the participation of Polish military personnel in hostilities against Russia.

On June 6, the Supreme Court of the Donetsk People’s Republic entered into an examination of criminal cases against two mercenaries from Britain and one from Morocco detained in Eastern Ukraine. The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin confirmed that capital punishment for foreign mercenaries is not excluded.
The British mercenaries appealed to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson with a request to exchange them, but London refused to help them, as there should be no British citizens fighting in Ukraine.

The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Donetsk People’s Republic has previously completed the investigation of a criminal case against mercenaries from Britain ( Shaun Pinner and Aiden Daniel John Mark Aslin) and Morocco (Saadoun Brahim). They are charged with participating in the preparation and conduct of hostilities against the DPR, as well as “mercenary activities and the commission by a group of persons by prior agreement of actions aimed at forcibly seizing power and forcibly changing the constitutional order of the DPR.”
According to the Criminal Code of the Republic, mercenary activity is punishable by imprisonment for 3 to 7 years. Forcible seizure of power in the DPR is punished by imprisonment from 12 to 20 years, and in wartime they can be replaced by the death penalty. Mercenary activity is recognized as a crime by international law and the Geneva Convention does not apply to mercenaries.
