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

I do not envy those who have even a residual conscience.
But what a will for those who have no conscience left. There's some Greek, European activist detained for bribes from Qatar and they show her some hundreds of thousands of euros, so it was necessary, like Ursula, to steal billions, then no one would have presented anything.

Зато какая воля тем, у кого совести не осталось. Вон какую то греческую, европейскую деятельницу задержали за взятки от Катара и предъявляют ей какие то сотни тысяч евро, так надо было как Урсула, миллиарды тырить, тогда никто ничего не предъявил бы.
 
Sorry about that, my Russian needs a bit of updating.

With regards to saving the face, what I meant was that the western narrative has to be kept. And if that is not possible minimize the impact by witholding the whole truth. Starlink has been used by all in the area for military purposes. Why just not admit it? Similar happened with Viasat not so long ago.
 
Hi BHelmet. Your question and answer speaks to the pointlessness of he speaking at all. However I would ask instead "and who did he speak to or for?".
He spoke to the man in the street in the hope of them hearing or voicing what many are thinking. How many ordinary men or women get to speak the truth on such an open platform or even local television and radio. They are silenced at every turn.

If Putin invited Bono, ……. but at least he tried. What more can anyone do.?
Yeah he ostensibly tried to speak for the “common” men and women who just want peace. And he was speaking to a pseudo political body that pretends to represent the interests of the common good.

So HOW did he speak and what did he NOT say? (Given the “opportunity” to speak a la Greta assuming he could have said anything). He spoke in a most obsequious manner, groveling most humbly to “your excellencies”. One key issue he avoided is very legitimacy of the organization he was kowtowing to. (the fact the UN is a highly politicized and corporate billionaire agenda driven clown show) He also left out the UN’s treatment of Russia’s point of view through this conflict. Basically it was a John Lennon reprise: all we are saying is give peace a chance.

The common man, IMO, would get a bit more worked up; would not wander around mincing metaphors; might even summon up a bit of grief and then rage; Would at least gesture towards the utter hypocrisy of the UN and all its agendas. He was begging for crumbs from the rich man’s table appealing to their egos while de facto acknowledging their dominance.

Better than nothing….yes…..but, “c’mon man”… He is a performer and could have played this any number of ways (unless he had to submit this in advance for approval). I would rather he’d gone in standing tall instead of hat in hand on bended knee. (At least that would have better represented this common man and a lot of the people I know.)

And yes, thank god it wasn’t Bono, which would have been an utter farce!
 
I will make a small correction with your permission. The word "делать" is spelled like this. As you write, we wrote before the revolution of 1917. After the Soviet government abolished several letters of the alphabet and, accordingly, the spelling of some words changed.
And I have a question. I did not understand at all who and for what reason is making a good face and bluffing.

:wow:

Пригожин насчитал 10 миллионов желающих воевать в «Вагнере» американцев

Внесу небольшую поправочку с вашего позволения. Слово "делать" пишется так. Так как пишете вы писали до революции 1917 года. После Советская власть упразднила несколько букв алфавита и, соответственно, написание некоторых слов изменилось.
И у меня есть вопрос. Я совсем не понял кто и по какому поводу делает хорошую мину и блефует.
Something like: play best as you can with bad cards?
 
Something like: play best as you can with bad cards?
In my opinion, this is somewhat not what is needed. I like the author's explanation more, but I need to make a clarification. The Russian military has its own satellite communications. This does not mean that they did not use the same Starlink. They may have been used to control civilian drones, which are now full in all units

Это по моему несколько не то что нужно. Авторское объяснение мне нравится больше, но нужно сделать уточнение. Российские военные имеют собственную спутниковую связь. Это не говорит о том, что они же не пользовались тем же Старлинком. Возможно пользовались для управления гражданскими дронами, которых сейчас полно во всех подразделениях
 
More loss estimates from both Ukraine and Russia.

Despite massive support from the international community and deeply entrenched defenses, Ukraine has reportedly lost 8 times more soldiers than Russia since the beginning of the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine.

A new report by Turkish newspaper Hurdesa Haber has claims that, according to Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, a staggering 157,000 Ukrainian soldiers, 2,458 foreign fighters, 5,360 “mercenaries,” and 234 “NATO military trainers” from the United States and United Kingdom have died in Ukraine since the start of the 2022 Invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24 of last year.

Ukraine losses:
  • Irretrievable losses of the AFU – 157,000;
  • Irretrievable losses of NATO – 8052;
  • Wounded – 234,000;
  • Prisoners – 17,230;
  • Aviation – 302 aircraft and 212 helicopters
  • UAVs – 2,750 (excluding quadrocopters);
  • Air defense – 497 anti-missile systems and radars;
  • Armored vehicles – 6320 tanks, BMP, APC, MRAP, etc.;
  • Artillery – 7360 units of towed artillery, mortars, self-propelled guns, MLRS, short-range ballistic missile systems.
Russian losses:

Irretrievable losses – 18,480
Wounded – 44,500
Prisoners – 323 (apparently, only those who have not yet been changed)
Aviation – 23 planes and 56 helicopters
UAV – 200 (excluding quadrocopters)
Armored vehicles – 889 tanks, BMP, APC, MRAP, etc.
Artillery – 427 units of towed artillery, mortars, self-propelled guns, MLRS.
Air defense – 12 anti-missile systems and radars

Data for both sides was dated January 14.

If these numbers are close to reality and even if they were more conservative estimates, they reveal that both the Ukrainian army and Western aid were largely destroyed.

 
You might think that the use of tactical signs of the fascist Wehrmacht, the so-called Balkenkreuz, in the Ukrainian army is not news. This is true, but the video I want to cite is still remarkable in its own way. It is noteworthy that it was published not by some blogger, correspondent, reporter, but directly by a military unit and not by an ordinary unit, but by a Separate Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bogdan Khmelnitsky.

The next news is almost the same - well, there is no Nazism or fascism in Ukraine, but the odious AZOV are growing. They started with a battalion, then became a regiment, and now there will be a brigade.
The Ukrainian nationalist regiment "Azov" was transformed into an assault brigade

MOSCOW, Feb 9 - RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian nationalist regiment "Azov"* (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) has been transformed into an assault brigade, the Ukrainian newspaper "Strana" reports with reference to the press service of the unit.
"The Azov Regiment * is now a brigade of the National Guard ... "Azov"* will be among the nine assault brigades of the "Offensive Guard" created by the National Guard," the publication reported in its Telegram channel.

According to the publications of the Ukrainian media, the number of personnel of the regiment of Ukrainian troops in 2022 ranged from 900 to 1.5 thousand people, while the brigade can number from one to eight thousand people.
Earlier, the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Igor Klimenko, said that the department had begun forming assault brigades of military, police and border guards to seize Crimea and Donbass.

Finally, they began to use the new T-14 in SMO
RV: The first shots of the use of the T-14 Armata tank in the SVO zone have been published
Author: Vasily Epishchenko

The first shots of the use of the newest Armata tank in the zone of a special military operation in Ukraine have been published. This is what the "Russian Spring" writes about.

In the presented frames, the tank fires a salvo from its main weapon — a 2A82-1C smoothbore cannon with a 125 mm caliber.

For the first time, T-14 Armata tanks were seen in the SVO zone in December 2022.

Вы можете подумать, что использование тактических знаков фашистского вермахта, так называемых балкенкройц, в украинской армии не является новостью. Это действительно так, однако видео, которое я хочу привести, все же по своему примечательно. Примечательно оно тем, что опубликовано оно не каким то блоггером, корреспондентом, репортером, а непосредственно воинским подразделением и не рядовым подразделением, а Отдельной Президентской Бригадой имени Гетмана Богдана Хмельницкого. Следующая новость практически о том же- ну нет на Украине ни нацизма, ни фашизма, однако одиозный Азов все растет. Начинали с батальона, потом стал полк, а теперь будет бригада.
Наконец то начали применять новые Т-14 в СВО
 
Putin began to cry, but seriously, in my opinion, the French president will eventually achieve only one thing - Putin will completely stop talking to him, as with the Ukrainian authorities since Poroshenko.
The French President did not rule out the possibility of depriving Vladimir Putin of the title of Knight Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was awarded the title of Knight of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor in 2006, however, according to the French news agency France Presse, the current French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out the possibility that Putin would be deprived of this honorary title.

At the moment, such an opportunity is being considered by the French leader as one of the measures to influence the Russian president. Knight Grand Cross is the highest rank of the Legion of Honor. Putin received this title in September 2006 from the hands of French President Jacques Chirac.

"French President Emmanuel Macron has not ruled out the possibility of depriving Russian leader Vladimir Putin of the title of Knight Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor," the French news agency reports.

The deprivation of this title of the Russian president will not affect the current state of affairs in any fundamental way, however, it may seriously worsen relations between Moscow and Paris.

At the moment, the Kremlin does not comment on such information.
Путина могут лишить звания кавалера большого креста ордена Почётного легиона

Now a couple of articles about Americans, how white and fluffy they are and how they don't participate in anything.
The Washington Post: the Ukrainian military receives coordinates from the United States for missile strikes
Coordinates for missile strikes are transmitted to Kiev by the Pentagon.

The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) is directly responsible for launching missile strikes on the territory of Russia. This is due to the fact that the Pentagon not only coordinates Kiev's actions, but also directly transmits coordinates for missile strikes to the Ukrainian military. Information on this subject is voiced by The Washington Post.

According to the data provided, when conducting rocket attacks and attacks, Kiev chooses only the types of targets for which it is planned to carry out an attack. After that, information on this subject is transmitted to the United States, and the American military is already setting targets in the zone of destruction of Ukrainian missile weapons.

"Ukrainian officials have stated that they require coordinates provided or confirmed by the United States and its allies for the vast majority of strikes using their advanced missile systems provided by the United States. The Pentagon is directly involved in the conflict. This disclosure, confirmed by three high-ranking Ukrainian officials and a senior US official, occurred after Kiev forces had been striking Russian targets for several months with the help of a US-provided highly mobile artillery missile system (HIMARS), and other similar high-precision weapons, such as the M270 multiple launch rocket system," The Washington reports Post".

This fact makes the United States responsible for almost any strikes on the territory of Russia and the Russian military, which seriously aggravates the situation for Washington.

Flightradar spotted a P-8A Poseidon at the site of the explosion on the "Northern Streams"
Flightradar24: P-8A Poseidon followed the results of the Nord Stream explosion in September

MOSCOW, Feb 10 — RIA Novosti. The consequences of an explosion on the Nord Stream gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea in the early morning of September 26 last year were observed by an American P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, according to Flightradar24 data.
On Wednesday, an article appeared on Hersh's website claiming that US Navy divers installed explosives under the Nord Stream gas pipelines last summer, and three months later it was activated by the Norwegians.

The US Navy offered to attack the "Northern Streams" with a submarine, the journalist said
According to Swedish and Danish seismologists, information from whom was received the day after the incident on September 26, 2022, the first explosion on the underwater Nord Stream gas pipeline near Bornholm Island in the Baltic occurred at 02:03 European summer time.
In the archive of flights on Flightradar24, there is no data on a Norwegian aircraft that could have dropped a buoy, since it apparently flew with the responder turned off. But the resource has preserved the flight track of the P-8A Poseidon, which arrived in the area of the incident exactly an hour after the explosion.
According to the resource record, the American plane flew in from the Atlantic, after which, passing over Denmark, it flew up to Bornholm Island. Then he refueled over Poland from a KS-135R tanker aircraft.

The American journalist called the reason for the undermining of the "Northern Streams"
After that, Poseidon returned to Bornholm and at about 04:45 European summer time made a full circle exactly over the area of the explosion, starting to descend. After making a right turn and moving away from the scene, the American scout gradually dropped from a height of 7,300 meters to 2,200 meters, after which he disappeared from the radar, turning off the transponder.
According to RIA Novosti military expert, editor-in-chief of the magazine "National Defense" Igor Korotchenko, the track of the American aircraft with Flightradar24 confirms Hersh's version.
According to him, an American plane in the area of the terrorist attack recorded the exit of gas flows from the destroyed pipeline and monitored the area for the presence or absence of ships and submarines in it, which theoretically could be there and witness what happened.

The journalist clarified who ordered the launch of the operation against the "Northern Streams"
"Considering that the flight route of the American P-8A Poseidon was calculated with refueling over Poland and synchronization of all these moments was required, it can be argued that its arrival at the appointed time, immediately after the terrorist attack, speaks of a flight planned in advance and, therefore, is another confirmation of the version of the reasons put forward by American journalist Hersh and circumstances of the commission of this terrorist act. This once again proves the involvement of official US government structures in this sabotage," the expert said.
At the end of September, explosions occurred on two "Northern Streams" at once. The operator Nord Stream AG reported that the emergencies on the pipelines are unprecedented and it is impossible to estimate the repair time. Vladimir Putin called the incident an obvious terrorist attack.

Путин заплакал, а если серьёзно, то по моему французский президент добьется в конце концов только одного- Путин совсем перестанет с ним разговаривать, как с украинскими властями начиная с Порошенко.
Теперь пара статеек об американцах, какие они белые и пушистые и как они ни в чем не участвуют.
 
During his trip to France, Volodymyr Zelensky received the Grand'Croix de la Légion d'Honneur.
An interesting sequel. Coupled with the stated possible deprivation of Putin of this award, I would, in the place of our president, have already pointedly flushed this cross down the toilet or put it on a dog. How good it is that our country is headed by a serious, responsible and intelligent person.
"How will he bear it!" Macron made the French laugh with words about Putin
The French compared the Legion of Honor with a chocolate medal after Macron's words about Putin

MOSCOW, Feb 10 — RIA Novosti. Readers of the French newspaper Le Figaro reacted with humor to the words of French President Emmanuel Macron about the possibility of depriving Russian leader Vladimir Putin of the Legion of Honor.
Many commentators have noticed that the very value of the award has long caused them doubts, and the very decision to deprive the president of Russia of the title of Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order does not make any sense.

In France, they were afraid of Russia's reaction to Zelensky's visit to Paris
"Macron knows how to hit the sick! Putin will never recover," Redge One quipped.
"Poor Putin, he will be traumatized, how will he bear it!" added charly bravo 58.
"They have already been deprived of Eurovision. Don't go too far!"— jokingly warned JustAnIdee.
"How? Will he lose his chocolate medal? Tremble, Putin ..." — wrote anonymous.
"This decoration is no longer of great value, it is being abused. And Putin will feel the absurdity of this decision if it is implemented," Cyrano believes.

Ukraine does not need fighter jets yet, Macron said
, "Macron had to squeeze his little fists very, very tightly to make this decision," Pignon noted.
Knight Grand Cross is the highest rank of the Legion of Honor. Putin received it in September 2006 from the hands of French President Jacques Chirac, becoming the first and only Russian to be awarded this award.
The Legion of Honor is a national order, considered the highest badge of distinction, honor and official recognition of special merits in France. It was established in 1802 by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.
The President of France holds the post of Grand Master of the Order. Questions about the deprivation of the award, he decides with the office of the order.
"Как он это перенесет!" Макрон рассмешил французов словами о Путине

Интересное продолжение. Вкупе с заявленным возможным лишением Путина этой награды, я бы на месте нашего президента уже показательно спустил бы этот крест в унитаз или надел бы его на собаку. Как все же хорошо, что во главе нашей страны стоит серьезный, ответственный и умный человек.
 
Still rather silent in Denmark about Nordstream sabotage
Even though the Nordstream sabotage in September took place near the Danish Island of Bornholm and just south of Sweden, little has been said since.
Regarding the recent article by Seymour Hersh, the papers Jyllands-Posten and Politiken have nothing, while Berlingske wrote;
Experts have no doubt: Closedness has fertilized the soil for the past star journalist's accusations
Conspiracy theories about Nord Stream sabotage thrive: 'The authorities should have communicated more about the matter'
Russia jumped immediately when a disavowed prize-winning journalist wrote on Wednesday that American divers with Norwegian help blew up the gas pipes. And the claims hit right into an information vacuum, because the authorities have said nothing since October.
The state media (radio and TV) posted
Often the Danish media is quick to follow the British and American, in this case they followed those that are silent, and none went as far as The Times: US bombed Nord Stream gas pipelines, claims investigative journalist Seymour Hersh

Sometimes silence is telling
Maybe the Danish press see themselves at war and are afraid of saying anything that can be quoted by someone else, which then could get the paper and journalist accused of being ...., or which could bring them out of favour with their favourite government insider or jeopardize their contacts to press officers in certain foreign governments.

In Seymour Hersh' article there was:
Denmark had also been one of the original NATO signatories and was known in the intelligence community for its special ties to the United Kingdom.
Not only ties to UK intelligence, what about US?

NSA and FE signed an agreement in 2008 that enables NSA to tap huge amounts of data sourced from Danish fiber-optic communication cables passing through Denmark.

Arrest of Surveillance Officers Shows Denmark Is US’s Lead Eye Into Spying on Other European Allies
December 10, 2021
Danish military intelligence has been systematically spying upon its own citizens for United States economic profit and political interests.
Two former or current secret surveillance officers for Denmark’s Military Intelligence Service (Forsvars Efterretningstjeneste FE) and two current or former Police Secret Service (Politiets Efterretningstjeneste PET) were arrested for leaking “deeply confidential information”. Three of them appeared before Copenhagen’s City Court yesterday. To fængslet i hemmeligt grundlovsforhør: Medarbejdere anholdt for lækager fra FE og PET | Indland | DR
And from a Russian junior analyst:
The Scandal in Denmark’s Military Intelligence: Too Much Transparency?
March 17, 2022
International reputation is a delicate, but an intangible asset in alliance relations. In some respects the current scandal is the continuation of the events which took place in 2013-2014. Danmarks Radio, based on anonymous sources, reports that the internal investigation under the codename “Operation Dunhammer” concluded in May 2015 revealed that the NSA had used the access to the Danish submarine communication cables to spy on top politicians in Sweden, Norway, France and Germany, including Angela Merkel, F.-W. Steinmeier and Peer Steinbrück. The Danish FE was aware of this at least since 2015 due to the internal investigation, but neither took steps to prevent this, nor informed the allies. Norway, Sweden and Germany express staunch criticism of the event and demand to be fully informed of the ongoing investigation. Either way allies seem to downplay the controversies and not to voice accusations against each other. Even when it came to the industrial espionage of Sweden’s defence capabilities, the development of a new Gripen airfighters generation in particular, the Saab representatives first described the case as insignificant and then designated it as a disinformation attempt from foreign power. The FE has so far not provided any comments on the matter and the real level of surveillance on foreign politicians and other probable targets remains uncertain. Denmark’s own defence firm Terma might have been the target of industrial espionage conducted with the help of the infamous programme XKeyscore.

It is also difficult to point out tangible political costs associated with that irresponsible behavior on the part of Denmark within the alliance except that Trine Bramsen had to step down February 4, 2022 as the defence minister. Despite Trine Bramsen being exposed to criticism for clumsily handling the FE-case, there is no clear connection between the two events. Her stepping down along with other shifts in the government composition were caused by the former transport minister Benny Engelbrecht being issued a vote of no-confidence. More broadly, it is difficult to discern the consequences of the FE-case for Denmark’s relations with Nordic neighbors and key allies. No punitive measures have been announced except the mentioned demands to share data under the investigation.
If there was a tendency in Denmark to speak out sometimes, people in power and the media have learned the lessons from past episodes, as well as COVID19 and the conflict in Ukraine. Now it is as if the rule is "say nothing or consult the state departments first".
 
Perhaps in another time it would have caused a sensation. Now it is one of the many deafening silences to which one gets used. I must say one thing, however. I have a lot of respect for Seymour Hersh for his story and his expertise. I have several years of journalism behind me and I know who he is . And I know, we know here, how it went. But, and this is interesting at least to me, many parts of his reconstruction reminded me of outdated, 60s/70s spy movies. And I must admit that EVEN FOR A MOMENT I thought his secret source was chatgpt in DAN MODE. Funny times :)

If this is a Presidential brigade then it sure sends a nice message to the viewer that notices it.

What needs to be done is to delete this part ---> "?fromTime=125" from the link , as this is the part that caused the problem.
That little piece is used to start the video at a specific time point in the video. Useful when videos are very long.
