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

US Justice Department continues confiscating massive amounts of sanctioned Russian oligarch's prize possessions, hoping to pressure President Putin.


The enemy was tracked down using a Poseidon UAV.

UAV Poseidon in temporarily occupied Donetsk discovered anti-tank systems and a video surveillance system. The equipment of the Russians was installed on the roof of the so-called “twin towers” in the area of the Donetsk airport.

According to Censor.NET, the video was released by the fifth president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko.

After transmitting the coordinates to the gunners, the object was hit by HIMARS.

“This is what happens when Poseidon is in the hands of our military. During a reconnaissance flight in the Donetsk region, the crew found an ATGM crew and an enemy video surveillance system on the roof of a house. HIMARS drove by. What do you think happened to the Russians?” Petro Poroshenko said.

Earlier, the power steering units were given the Poseidon UAV complex. Half of the funds for this equipment were raised by the Ukrainian diaspora, the other half was paid by the Poroshenko Foundation.

Poseidon is a reconnaissance battalion-level complex that works in favor of all brigades of the area of responsibility, reconnaissance and guidance of artillery, and adjustment of large-caliber fire.

Today is the 4th anniversary of the Community Affairs. Behind hundreds of trips to the front, thousands of hours without sleep, millions of hryvnias collected and many projects for the Armed Forces.

The people who joined and continue to help the Cause of Communities are completely different. These are trolleybus drivers, and politicians of all levels, and entrepreneurs, and those who simply do not want to be left out.

Unfortunately, there were losses among the team... We will forever remember those who joined the Armed Forces in the first hours to repel the enemy, and died for their relatives and their land Eternal memory…

But despite everything @SpravaHromad continues to work, drive, stay awake, fundraise and fight for our victory.Thank you for all you do and thank you for all you have already done. You are the best!

This would mean a Ukrainian Armed Forces to :Russian Armed Forces of 50,000:20,000 (5:2) killed and 60,000:? wounded, In other words, for every Russian soldier killed, 2.5 Ukrainians were killed. We do not know how the medical care is near the front lines. If the medical care is better in Russia than in Ukraine, there could be even more remaining wounded on the Russian side, but if the fighting on the frontline is very intense it may not always be possible to bring wounded people under proper care leaving the sides more equal in this regard, if that is the case there would be about 24,000 wounded Russian soldiers.

The ration of killed to wounded is close to 1:1.2 on both sides, meaning that for everyone killed, there is a bit more that were only wounded. This is a very high figure. The relation between killed in action and wounded in action (leaving out the missing in action) has been a subject of much study. Here is a page that looks at US figures in different wars, and this page has:

Of course, we don't know how honest the reporting is, and a Russian VK suggested between 1:2 and 1;6 for modern battle. The fighting in Artyomovsk was maybe modern warfare, but it has been more intense than most modern battles have been.
83h21stj6s1b1.jpgThis is not entirely clear to me, am I seeing too much? Perhaps the ratio of deaths in favor of Wagner is a little lower, Prigozin says that the 50,000 recruited have been during the entire special operation, Wagner was already fighting in Ukraine and recruiting prisoners before Bakhmut, so part of those deaths could be from other battles if the numbers given are not exclusively the casualties in this city, however looking at the number of Ukrainian casualties, this was bloodier for both sides... waiting for the full interview to be transcribed to see if the matter is clarified a little more.
All valid speculations IMO.
I would like to add to that that it is a mercenary organization anyway and with a growing presence in Africa for example, battles and wars may break out in the future in which Wagner is involved both on this continent and on others. . the more disassociated the Russian state is from this organization, at least for the public image and given the current panorama of suspicion towards Russia, it could be a good idea for the moment (although in other aspects they have not cared about the opinion of others to be fair).
By the way, Prigozhin is a patriot from what he says and is seen, and just as Kadyrov is given to emotional attacks against the handling of the operation, it is foreseeable that they will pay attention to the current command and the wealthy Russian elite, both groups do not free of flaws while many soldiers and recruits are dying.

The Kremlin said on Wednesday the use of U.S.-made military hardware by pro-Ukrainian fighters who conducted a raid on a Russian border region this week was a testament to the West's growing involvement in the Ukraine conflict.

Reading such reports, you can study the entire range of equipment produced by NATO countries and not only.
The Russian military destroyed a column of French VAB armored personnel carriers
Videos have been published showing the results of the destruction of a column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) by the Russian Army. Video materials indicate significant damage to the column, which included mainly Western samples of military equipment. It is assumed that the column became a target for Russian artillery during the movement.

The videos available on the web allow us to see that the wreckage of the French Renault VAB armored personnel carriers, which made up four units of this column, are in a state of complete gorenje. All of these armored personnel carriers received significant damage. The Ukrainian armored vehicle "Kazak-2" was also destroyed by Russian artillery fire.

Judging by the available information, the Ukrainian unit, which was under artillery fire, was able to avoid losses among the personnel. Reports on the dead or wounded servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not been received at the moment. However, the technical losses were significant.

All armored vehicles affected by artillery fire are most likely not recoverable. Based on the presented videos, it can be assumed that the unmanned aerial vehicle was used to detect the column before the artillery strike.

NATO members, again, need to pay attention.
Production of hypersonic missiles X-47M2 "Dagger" increased by 500%
Russia has significantly increased the production of hypersonic missiles "X-47M2" "Dagger". According to Military Watch, production volumes increased by 500%.

Dagger missiles are among the most advanced developments in the field of military technology. They are capable of reaching speeds in excess of Mach 10 and striking targets at distances up to 2000 kilometers. The effectiveness of these missiles has been confirmed during a number of successful tests and strikes on military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The increase in the production of "Daggers" confirms Russia's desire to strengthen its defense capabilities in the light of the current geopolitical situation. It should be noted that these missiles are capable of overcoming enemy air defense systems, which makes them especially valuable in the conditions of modern military strategy, although earlier in Kiev they announced the successful interception of one of these missiles.

It is important to note that hypersonic Dagger missiles are installed on board MiG-31 fighters, which provides flexibility in their use. In combination with high maneuverability and speed, these missiles are a powerful tool for accurate and rapid strikes.

Organ harvesting ‘big business’ on frontlines in Ukraine — Russian diplomat​


MOSCOW, May 24. /TASS/. The activity of "organ harvesters" in the combat zone in Ukraine calls for close international monitoring and urgent measures, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.

She highlighted that "Ukraine has been embroiled in scandals related to illegal transplantology long before the 2014 coup d’etat and the events that followed." "Since the late 90s, there have been media reports that low-income Ukrainians were forced to sell their internal organs in order to make a living and there was information on illegal harvesting of biological materials from corpses," the diplomat explained. "However, the beginning of hostilities in the eastern part of the country has exacerbated the situation," she added.

TASS Russian News Agency
 
A small selection of messages illustrating the aspirations and ways of action of those whom Kiev propaganda calls "liberators" and "defenders". The fact that they demonstrate similar behavior in all conditions, both during training at foreign bases, and in their environment, and when interacting with those whom they are supposed to "protect", suggests that this is a system, and not individual episodes. I have already written about my concern about what will happen next. The war will end sooner or later and then... The prospects are still worrying, if not frightening.
German general on the training of AFU fighters: they are more interested in the experience and methods of punishers than military affairs

Instructors of the Armed Forces of Germany, who are engaged in the training of the Ukrainian military, claim that they are more interested in the experience and methods of punishers than military affairs. They are very little interested in the training program.

This was stated by the commander of the EU mission for training with Ukrainian servicemen, Lieutenant General Andreas Marlov.

The German general spoke about the training of the AFU fighters in Germany. According to him, they are primarily interested in methods of intimidation, including those that are classified as war crimes all over the world. Ukrainian servicemen express great admiration for the tactics of the SS punitive units operating in the occupied territories of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, and also often demonstrate the image of the swastika and other Nazi symbols.

There is a lot of talk about General Marlov in German social networks. It is alleged that he is making active attempts to investigate the war crimes of the AFU militants. In particular, we are talking about their treatment of captured Russian servicemen.

The commander of the EU mission in Germany, in particular, pointed out that Ukrainian soldiers trained at the Wildflecken base and in Hammelburg repeatedly showed videos of torture and executions of Russian prisoners of war

- says the author of the German Telegram channel Übersicht Ukraine.

He writes that many officers of the Bundeswehr saw these shots, but they were ordered to keep quiet.

According to unnamed sources, the head of the EU mission is trying to bring his investigation to the government level, but he has not yet succeeded.

There were reports of lynching of Ukrainian militants over the battalion commander

A video of the massacre of a company commander over a battalion commander in a Ukrainian military unit appeared on the Network. The explanation to the video says that the discontent of the unit's fighters was caused by the fact that they were trying to "send for meat."

The video shows a man lying in a bloody puddle with a bullet through his head. The author of the video explains that this is the battalion commander, who was shot by the company commander, writes Tsargrad.

At the same time, it is reported that the soldiers of the company were satisfied with the act of the commander, who "decided" for everyone.

It is not specified exactly where the bloody lynching took place.

A resident of Gulyai-Pole shot a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

A resident of the city of Gulyai-Pole in a part of the Zaporozhye region controlled by the Kiev authorities, organized a lynching of the Ukrainian military, said the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia", a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, Vladimir Rogov.

According to him, one of the APU militants tried to beat up a local resident, but he took the weapon from the military, killed him and wounded three more of his colleagues, RIA Novosti reports.

Rogov added that the Kiev authorities are trying to expose this incident as a domestic conflict, accusing a local resident of pro-Russian views.
Житель Гуляйполя застрелил солдата ВСУ

Небольшая подборка сообщений, иллюстрирующая устремления и способы действий тех, кого Киевская пропаганда называет "освободителями" и "защитниками". То что они демонстрируют сходное поведение во всех условиях, и при подготовке на иностранных базах, и в своей среде, и при взаимодействии с теми, кого они должны по идее "защищать", говорит о том, что это система, а не отдельные эпизоды. Я уже раньше писал о своем беспокойстве по поводу того, что будет дальше. Война рано или поздно кончится и тогда... Перспективы по прежнему беспокоят, если не сказать пугают.
 
'Confession for US preparations for war with Russia?'

25 May, 2023
[...]
According to Nuland, the US is also planning for Ukraine’s future military to deter Russia, so “wherever and however this ends – one year, six years, 16 years – we are not doing this again.” She also painted a rosy picture of a future in which Ukraine would be the “engine of Europe’s revitalization” and “setting the democratic example… for the whole world.”

China envoy calls for Ukraine ceasefire, leaving Russia in possession of new regions — WSJ​


"NEW YORK, May 26. /TASS/. During his recent visit to Europe, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on Eurasian Affairs Li Hui called for an immediate ceasefire, while leaving Russia in possession of its new regions, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing officials."

"According to European officials, Li Hui urged European governments to view China as an economic alternative to Washington and underlined the need to move quickly to end the Ukrainian conflict before it spreads, the WSJ said."

 
Today this was shared on Telegram. Supposedly it is from the head camera of a soldier that was killed in Bahmut. Supposedly we see organ extraction by some Western doctors.


What do you think? Fake or real? And in what language the doctors are shouting?

It is very easy to think that this is a fake. One main thing that made me think that it is not a fake is the fact that the young soldier that is supposed to be on guard instead staring at the cellphone. It's very realistic. 😅

But at least so far it wasn't picked up by other channels, so not sure if it is real or not. There is no doubt that such things are happening and Ukranian soldiers are aware of it, or at least some of them, but don't know if this particular video is real.

Today this was shared on Telegram. Supposedly it is from the head camera of a soldier that was killed in Bahmut. Supposedly we see organ extraction by some Western doctors.

And there is also this from Inessa S Telegram channel. Apparently the doctor that harvests the organs is Elizabeth Debru (not Debruke). And she is Dutch. And we can hear the the doctors in the first video talking in something that sounds like German or Dutch.
