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

I'm wasting my time with muzzles. You can have your opinion. My post was intentionally written in the style that @tylik writes, so that he can judge for himself what I don't like about his note. Let's not add our own emotional terms to describe facts.
And as for the Polish government, you are wrong. It is not Polish in any way. It does not represent Polish interests. Those Poles who support the Warsaw government have been bribed by this government with various pseudo-social programs. They don't know what price they will pay for it.
It would be interesting to know the opinion of the Poles. How do you see the future of your country? What role will Poland play in Europe, what are the forecasts? How does Poland see Ukraine in the future? Russia?

This thread is not about opinions and emotions; it's about what is going on in this military operation.
As I said above, this is not the thread for opinions. If you wish to open another thread to voice your opinions in a calm and courteous manner, go ahead. Let's keep this thread for the facts and information on the operation in Ukraine.
 
"'It won't end until we take Kiev' - Rogozin"

Russian Federation, Moscow

Donbass conflictPolitics

December 3, 2022 at 04:22 GMT -07:00 · Published

Head of the Tsar’s Wolves group of military advisers and former Head of Roscosmos Dmitri Rogozin stated that armed conflict in Ukraine would not end until Russia 'takes Kiev', speaking in an interview to RT on Friday.

[It will continue] until we liquidate this 'abscesses' [problem], until we defeat Ukraine, [and] I will tell you more, Ukraine as the West's outpost, and it won't end, until we, I'm sorry, take Kiev," Rogozin said.

He went on to say that Moscow's victory can only be secured when the Russian Armed Forces eliminate 'the threat to the existence' of Russia, and negotiations can only be about a form of 'surrender' by Kiev.

The former Roscosmos head also said that one of his tasks in the military field is to 'interact with developers who provide tactical action.'

"These are different drones like strike and reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare, radio-electronic reconnaissance systems. [They are necessary] because our enemy is harassing our covering force, dropping various bombs, small bombs and so on. That's why we tested them [drones] first at the training ranges of the Donetsk People's Republic, then at the defence line. This system showed the highest efficiency. Accordingly, we recommend it further to be adopted for armament and for its serial production," Rogozin explained.

Rogozin was dismissed as Head of Roscosmos in July 2022. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said that this was not due to complaints about his performance.

Rogozin soon went to volunteer in the Donbass, where he opened the Tsar's Wolves training centre to support DPR military units with military and technical issues.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements.

Russian troops were sent in, allegedly to defend citizens from attacks by Kiev, as well as to ‘demilitarise’ and 'denazify’ the region. Moscow also urged Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and guarantee that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the action as an invasion, denying allegations of tolerating Nazi organisations. President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed martial law, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.

The article has a video of the interview (In Russian I assume.)

 

Nigeria's President Says West-Supplied Weapons In Ukraine Are 'Filtering' Into Africa​

BY TYLER DURDEN
SATURDAY, DEC 03, 2022 - 02:00 PM

'The Nigerian government says that foreign-supplied weapons transferred from the West to the Ukrainian government have begun to proliferate in the west African region. The illegal arms have begun to "filter" to the region, Nigeria's president said.'

'An urgent warning was recently issued by President Muhammadu Buhari himself. An official statement posted to the website of the Nigerian presidency's office said that Buhari "urged more vigilance and tightening of security around borders, drawing attention to the increased number of arms, ammunition, and other weapons from the Russia and Ukraine war in the Lake Chad Basin."

It marks the clearest confirmation yet that weapons intended for Ukrainian forces are exiting the country in large numbers, precisely as many observers feared given the billions of dollars worth of arms that have been pumped in over the course of the nine-month war.

 

NATO must prepare 'security guarantees' for Russia – Macron​

US-led bloc needs to address Moscow's concerns, the French leader said in an interview

Macron acknowledged Russian President Vladimir Putin’s concern that “NATO will deploy weapons that will threaten Russia,” and said that members of the US-led alliance “need to prepare” to offer “guarantees of the security of the Russian Federation” when Moscow joins Kiev and the West at the negotiating table.

Macron is not the only leader of an EU nation to publicly discuss a potential post-conflict arrangement in recent days. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the Berlin Security Forum on Wednesday that while his country would likely never return to its pre-2022 “partnership” with Russia, Germany would be willing to discuss arms control and missile deployment treaties with Moscow in the future.

 

Thousands rally in Rome against arming Ukraine (VIDEO)

Trade unionists and leftists marched after the new government promised more arms for Kiev next year

Italy’s new prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, issued a decree on Thursday allowing her cabinet to continue sending weapons to Ukraine until the end of 2023 without seeking the formal approval of parliament.

The Meloni government is dragging us further and further into a spiral of war with unpredictable outcomes,” the USB wrote prior to the protest. “Italy is evidently a belligerent and active country in the conflict, despite the fact that the great majority of the population is against the war and the consequent sharp increase in military spending.”

The data apparently was delivered to Ukraine by MI6, although there is an increase in bombers observed at the Russian Engels base (one of the largest in the world in terms of this type of aircraft), the number is not so unusual. of planes that have arrived if we compare it with other months (and even so it could be significant despite the fact that the page where I mainly get this from, which in turn shares an analysis carried out by War Zone downplays the increase in aircraft. ), on November 29, the Maxar satellite images show 20 Tu-95 and 6 Tu-160, (on November 15, only 16 aircraft were seen in total), elements that could be seen in the low-resolution images are also visible. be missiles and related machinery to carry out their loading; There are also several transport planes that could be bringing ammunition... In any case, Russia would have given Ukraine an ultimatum with a deadline of November 30 to negotiate and this could be related.

Surge In Russian Bombers At Air Base Not As Unusual As Reports Claims
Ukrainian terrorists strike at airfields of Russian long-range aviation

This morning, information appeared about a drone strike on the Engels airfield in the Saratov region and a fire on a tanker at the Dyagilevo airbase in Ryazan. As reported, in the first case, we are talking about two injured and two damaged Tu-95MS missile carriers, there is no complete information on the second incident yet.

One could say that two events on the same day are an accident, but at both airfields (this is public information) there are parts of long-range aviation used to strike at objects of the Ukrainian energy system.

If in the case of the Ryazan region it can be assumed that the UAV was launched from the territory of Ukraine, then there are doubts about Engels. With a high degree of probability, the drone worked from our territory, which means that enemy DRGs have already reached the banks of the Volga. If the drone came from Ukraine, then our enemy already has technology with a range of 1000 km, which means that Moscow is under attack.


Now it's not funny...
 
Good news.

Traffic on the Crimean bridge on the repaired automobile part was launched this morning. It took less than two months to replace the four damaged spans and pave them after the explosion in early October

 
Multiple TG channels now report air raid alarms over Ukraine. Some unconfirmed reports of Russian missiles entering Ukrainian airspace. Looks like reprisals for the Engels and Dyagilevo airfields bombings.
From a Ukrainian source: Large-scale air alert: approximately 100 missiles may hit Ukraine.

According to preliminary information, 13 enemy planes fired 8 missiles each, the total number is 104. Caliber missile carriers also went into the sea, a possible volley of 16 missiles.

The same planes from the Engels airbase?
 
One of the most hated political commentators in Poland regarding the possibility that Ukraine will try to pull Poland into the conflict (in Polish):
- Polish intelligence and counterintelligence is not existing, and Poland is under the strong influence of SBU
- it is very likely that it'll be a large influx of immigrants from Ukraine during the winter time that will overwhelm and destabilize Poland in various ways
- Kyiv will certainly not do any peace talks with Moscow, because that means that heads will roll within the current power structure
- Having no reserves left, Kyiv will try provocations to pull Poland into the conflict, because there isn't much they can do
- Kyiv doesn't have much time left, maybe till Spring at best
- Poles will start asking questions in the spring when the economical crisis will be quite significant
Nothing we wouldn't expect, but just wanted to show you that there are voices in Poland that are pro-Polish interests. Although there are several voices that Sykulski is sponsored by Germany, who cares at this point?

It would be interesting to know the opinion of the Poles. How do you see the future of your country? What role will Poland play in Europe, what are the forecasts? How does Poland see Ukraine in the future? Russia?
Lucius Lu, it is fairly apparent that your emotions are being engaged in your wanting to show youlik what you don't like about his post.

This thread is not about opinions and emotions; it's about what is going on in this military operation. Those who are being emotionally triggered need to step back for a few moments before posting anything, and that "anything" needs to be factual as has already been stated once or twice in this thread. It's understandable that emotions are running high for some people who are in and around the area this is taking place in. But, that is not what this thread is for. If you want to air out your emotions and opinions, you are free to start another thread.
I'll answer if I may. Keep in mind, that my opinions aren't of the majority, but currently, it doesn't look very bright. Poland of course has great potential: very rich in titanium, vanadium, iron, coal, and silver (from the top of my head). It could also prosper in cooperation with the Chinese OBOR initiative and has some technological know-how in the population obtained via being an IT outsourcing neocolony or a part of German industry. But currently, our "parasite class" is steered from the USA, and most Poles just don't have any clue (brainwashed by American action-hero movies from the 90s). What is interesting, from time to time I encounter some person in Biedronka (Portuguese-owned) market that is complaining that Polish currency is starting to be worth nothing or why is onion imported from Spain and not from native farmers. But going back to the question, I honestly feel that Poland could be once again partitioned. If a real crisis will kick in, do some German-controlled and industrialized parts of Poland will like to be with a poor Warsaw-Lviv merger? Or be a part of Germany (quite a lot of Silesians has Polish-German passports)? Hyenas are smarter than that :)
 
Readovka reports that:

Readovka said:
2.5 weeks after the last retaliatory strikes against Ukraine, the rocket attack on the territory of the square resumed. Probably, today's drone raids on the airfields of Diaghilevo (Ryazan region) and Engels (Saratov region) contributed to this. Russian rockets have already brought problems with electricity, water and gas in several large cities.

💥At the moment, we know about arrivals in:

— Kirovograd region
— Odessa
— Odessa region
— Zaporozhye
— Zaporozhye region
— Vinnitsa
— Vinnytsia region
– Kharkiv region (Lozovsky and Volchansky districts)

⚠️Infrastructure facilities were hit in:

— Odessa region (Odessa CHPP-2, electrical substations)
— Vinnytsia region
— Dnepropetrovsk region
— Zaporozhye region
— Kirovograd region (Kirovograd thermal power plant)
— Kyiv region
— Zaporozhye

⚡️Blackout in:

— Sumy region
— Nikolaev
— Kharkiv region (partial blackout)
— Zhytomyr (partial blackout)
— Odessa (partial blackout)

💧Problems with water supply in:

— Zaporozhye
— Zhytomyr
— Odessa
— Sumac

In addition, due to problems with electricity, there are serious delays of trains throughout the country.

There are also reports of another Ukrainian S-300 series missile casing landing outside the territory of Ukraine, in Moldova. The photos look somewhat suspicious and I don't rule out that it wasn't placed there for provocation purposes. If Moldovan media report the facts and it's mostly ignored by the western MSM, then we'll know.

Vladimir Putin and Marat Khusnullin rode across the Crimean bridge

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported to the President of Russia on the completion of work on the restoration of the Crimean bridge. Vladimir Putin personally drove a car across the bridge.

In addition, the head of the country talked with the builders who were repairing the damaged canvas.

The military of the Russian Federation announced the interception of drones when trying to attack airfields near Ryazan and Saratov


Moscow. 5th of December. INTERFAX.RU - The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Russian military prevented an attempt by Ukraine to attack airfields where Russian strategic aviation is based using drones.

"On the morning of December 5, the Kyiv regime, in order to disable Russian long-range aircraft, attempted to strike Soviet-made jet unmanned aerial vehicles at the Dyagilevo military airfields in the Ryazan region and Engels in the Saratov region," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"Ukrainian UAVs flying at low altitude were intercepted by the air defense systems of the Russian Aerospace Forces," the Russian military said.

Three Russian servicemen of the technical staff were killed, four were injured after the fall of the wreckage of Ukrainian drones.

"As a result of the fall and explosion of fragments of jet drones at Russian airfields, the skin of the hull of two aircraft was slightly damaged," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The Russian military said it carried out a massive missile strike on 17 targets in Ukraine on Monday.

"Today, at about 15.00 (Moscow time), the military command and control system and related facilities of the defense complex, communication centers, energy and military units of Ukraine suffered a massive strike with high-precision air and sea-based weapons," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"The goal of the strike has been achieved. All 17 designated targets have been hit," the ministry said.

They said that as a result of the strike, the transfer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reserves, foreign weapons, military equipment and ammunition to the combat areas by rail was disrupted.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stressed that a massive blow was delivered despite the attempts of the Ukrainian side to disrupt the combat work of Russian long-range aviation.
