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

FWIW, an article at the Gateway Pundit which states that Ukrainian elites are switching over to Russian side!

Sergey Naryshkin has just come public to say that Russian intelligence has reported cases of Ukrainian elites switching over to Russian side.

Naryshkin specified that such concerns came up during US and UK discussions to appoint the West’s new ‘special emissary’ to Ukraine

Fears about members of the Kiev elite adhering to the Russian side are justified, as such cases are already taking place.

TASS reported:

“‘Washington and London fear treachery on behalf of many representatives of the Kiev elite, who may try to get ahead of the game by switching to the side of the future winners [Russia]’, the SVR press office said in a statement quoting Naryshkin as saying.

‘Such fears are justified as the first cases have already emerged’, he said.”

 
In Russia, the mass production of FAB-3000 aerial bombs has begun - they can be installed on UMPC
Telegram channel "Military Chronicle" reports that the FAB-3000 was adopted for service in 1946, its carriers were Tu-4, Tu-16 and Tu-22 bombers. The bomb is used against industrial, urban, port facilities and other typical targets when dropped from altitudes of up to 16 km and at a flight speed of up to 1200 km/hour. Potential radius of continuous destruction of FAB-3000 is 46 meters, fragmentation field at crushing of the hull and destruction of the target is 260 meters.
Is there a FAB-3000 with UMPCs?
According to Avia.pro, the first references to the possibility of using guided planning and correction modules (PGMs) with heavy FAB-3000 and FAB-5000 appeared in April 2023. At that time, it was assumed that Russia could have three-ton bombs no earlier than 2025.

There is no mention of the UMPK in the Russian Defense Ministry's report. However, Military Chronicle believes that "an aerial bomb with 1,200 kilograms of explosives will be produced for a larger and (most likely) more advanced planning and correction module."

Military expert Viktor Litovkin confirmed to NEWS.ru that the FAB-3000 can be fitted with a UMPK, as well as homing systems. This will make it possible to strike from a distance of 60-80 kilometers. The expert noted that a powerful bomb needs powerful targets.

"FAB-3000 will strike control points, large warehouses and production facilities. The target must be to match the weapon that will be used. After all, one does not fire a cannon at sparrows. This bomb can also strike bridges or powerful road junctions. Although so far our army has not struck them. Apparently, they believe that we will need them in the future, after the liberation of Ukraine," the military observer noted.
Or the French in Odessa... 🤷‍♂️
 
Russian strikes on the Ukrainian power grid.

There is a second series of missile strikes on Ukraine this morning.
The strikes hit Kiev, Kharkiv, Krivoy Rog, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipropetrovsk and so on.
A number of cities are experiencing power problems after the strikes.

The Dnieper hydroelectric power plant is on fire.

Kharkiv - mostly blacked out.
Kirovograd - partial blackouts.
Krivoy Rog - partial blackouts.

In addition to Dniproivska HPP, Burshtynska TPP has been suspended.

Tolstoy: All French soldiers in Ukraine will be liquidated​

March 21, 2024
Cimetiere_militaire_francais-scaled.jpg

Listen below to the excellent interview with Pyotr Tolstoy, close to Vladimir Putin and deputy president of the Duma. No doubt in mockery, the interview was given to BFM-TV, a French media outlet seen in Russia as Macron's worst propagandist. Tolstoy does not hesitate to call them liars.
This interview perfectly reflects the opinion of the Russian Power. Because if President Putin cannot express himself in this way, Tolstoy can and thus transmits the message from the Kremlin.
Another interesting point is to note that Tolstoy does not mention a difference between “the French” and “France”. Many in France say “Putin knows that not all French people support Macron etc”. Today, as Tolstoy says, France is “decadent”. “France” is indeed “the French” who are decadent. The Macron regime is therefore, rightly, assimilated to French citizens. Because these are the French citizens that Macron is going to send to Odessa, a Russian city!
Macron has not yet reacted but as Tolstoy says “we don't care what Macron says”. We are impatiently awaiting the arrival of French forces in Odessa, and this is in fact ardently desired by those here called “Z-patriots” who find that we are moving too slowly in the SVO. Once NATO is clearly at war, Russia will shift gears they say… with good reason!
Here is the full interview with Tolstoy interspersed with yapping from BFM journalists in Paris who appear stunned. Let them know that everything that is announced will come true. It is up to Macron to change his position…. or for the French to pull their fingers out of their behinds and liquidate Macron! Unless, my goodness, they don't care about a few thousand of their brothers, fathers, husbands, returning in wooden boxes!

This,
Russian humor.
as well as this
A number of other generation facilities have been hit.

, can be regarded as humor, or it can be regarded as humanism. I'm not talking about captivity, it's understandable, but what about power plants? Now it's warmer, ukrops won't freeze, and they can drink tea in the evening and with a candel. But in order them not to think about nonsense, for example, about the production of their long-range missiles or the construction of tank factories on their (still) territory, it is necessary to turn off their electricity. Let them get used to it like the Flintstones.

Вот это,
так же как и это
можно расценивать как юмор, а можно, как гуманизм. Про плен я молчу, это и так понятно, но вот с электростанциями то что? Теперь потеплело, укропы не замерзнут, а чаю вечером и при лучинке попить можно. А вот чтобы не задумывались о глупостях, например о производстве своих дальнобойных ракет или строительстве танковых заводов на своей (пока еще) территории, надо отключить им электричество. Пускай привыкают как Флинстоуны.
 
A lot of people are getting excited about a statement from Peskov today referring to Russia being in a state of war:


“We are in a state of war. Yes, it started as a special military operation, but as soon as this group was formed there, when the collective West became a participant in this on the side of Ukraine, for us it already became a war,”

Other statements by Peskov:

▪️Part of Russian territory is de facto occupied by the Kyiv regime, it is necessary to liberate new regions and protect the people there

▪️Russia will continue to act so that Ukraine’s military potential cannot threaten the security of its citizens and territory

▪️Russia cannot allow the existence on its borders of a state that has a documented intention to use any methods to take Crimea away from it, not to mention the territory of new regions

Taken literally that bolded part is a pretty strong statement! He has since clarified that this is not a legal change of the status of the SMO, but a de facto change.


Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that his words about the special military operation being turned into war do not mean a state of war de jure.
Asked to clarify whether his previous statement about the special military operation being turned into a war changed the status of this conflict, the Kremlin spokesman said: "Essentially, the moment the collective West entered [the conflict], it turned into a war for us. This does not imply any legal changes. It is [still] a special military operation de jure."
"But de facto - in fact - it has turned into a war for us as the collective West increasingly and more directly enhances its involvement in the conflict," Peskov added.
He also warned against comparing his use of the word "war" with what the participants in the protests against the special operation meant by it.

"This is an utterly inappropriate comparison, because their context (the opponents’ - TASS) is different from mine," Peskov said. "The word 'war' is used in different contexts. This is absolutely so. You just compare what context I have and what context is present in the slogans of the operation’s opponents," Peskov added.

I'm inclined to believe that things are now about to intensify, as this statement coincides with a series of very effective strikes on energy infrastructure. The elections are concluded, Putin has a mandate. The strikes were doubtless already planned well in advance, not just a retaliatory measure (which is not how Russia responds anyway). Ukraine is now struggling to cover everything with mobile air defense, probably prioritising protecting the front lines in anticipation of increased offensive actions by Russia. This leaves many important assets more vulnerable than they have been so far.
 

Medvedev told how the sending of military personnel to Ukraine will end for the French authorities​

Medvedev told how the sending of military personnel to Ukraine will end for the French authorities | Russian spring
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev told how the possible sending of military personnel to Ukraine would end for the French authorities.
“Actually, for the good of the matter, it would be nice if the restless French sent a couple of regiments to Banderland.
It is very problematic to hide such a number of military personnel, and, therefore, the issue of their systematic destruction will not be the most difficult, but extremely important task.
But what a benefit it would be!
With so many coffins that will be delivered to France from a foreign, distant country, it is impossible to hide the mass death of professional military personnel.
Moreover, here you can no longer ignore the references to the fact that, supposedly, mercenaries themselves choose their fate and dispose of the right to life. These unfortunates will become full-fledged combatants as part of the intervention contingent. Their destruction will be the priority and glorious task of our Armed Forces.
But for the roosters from the French leadership, this will be tantamount to the guillotine.
They will be cut into pieces by angry relatives and evil representatives of the opposition, who were told that France is not at war with Russia. And for other restless idiots in Europe there will be a good lesson.
And again the immortal lines of Pushkin will become relevant:
So send
your embittered sons to us, Vitias:
There is a place for them in the fields of Russia,
Among the coffins that are alien to them
.”

Of course I don't know, but I hope with all my might that a lot has been planned. Unfortunately, it was planned in the direction of escalation because this stupid situation has no other way out.
When the half-witted German foreign minister sitting in the European Parliament says that "they" are waging war with Russia, when the French president almost promised to send his troops where they should not, when Ukraine is pumped up with foreign weapons and many weapons systems are operated by non-Ukrainians (I said it so mildly), when almost on a daily basis we hear about tank, shell, airplane, etc. "coalitions" and with all this, Europe as a whole, NATO and each European country individually do not "participate" in the Ukrainian conflict at all - what kind of idiocy is this? Forgive my bluntness, but how long can this go on?
No one needs escalation, and Russia needs it least of all, but how much can you make fools of us and how much can we pretend to be fools, as if we don't notice any of this?
At the time, Russia said in a good way: consider our interests. They didn't take it into account, they didn't wish it well. They continue to climb stubbornly. So it must be done in a bad way, because the interests of survival do not go away on their own.
On the one hand, it is good that the solution to the question of answering or not answering is on the side of Russia, because Russia has more adequate leadership, but on the other hand, it may be time to turn over this damn "chessboard" (in my opinion, the author Brzezinski) with non-our chess and start playing your own chess.

Я конечно же не знаю, но изо всех сил надеюсь, что многое спланировано. Спланировано, к сожалению, в сторону эскалации потому что по другому эта дурацкая ситуация не имеет выхода. Когда полоумная министр иностранных дел Германии сидя в европарламенте говорят, что "они" ведут войну с Россией, когда французский президент почти что пообещал ввести свои войска туда, куда не надо, когда украина накачана иностранным оружием и многими системами вооружений оперируют не украинцы (это я так мягко сказал), когда почти что в ежедневном режиме мы слышим о созданиях танковых, снарядных, самолетных и пр. "коалиций" и при всем при этом европа в целом, НАТО и каждая европейская страна в отдельности совсем никак "не участвуют" в украинском конфликте- это что за идиотизм? Простите мою резкость, но сколько это может продолжаться? Эскалация не нужна никому и меньше всех она нужна России, однако сколько можно делать из нас дураков и сколько мы можем прикидываться дураками, как будто мы ничего этого не замечаем? В свое время Россия по хорошему сказала: учтите наши интересы. Не учли, по хорошему не пожелали. Продолжают упрямо лезть. Значит надо по плохому, потому что интересы выживания никуда не деваются сами по себе.
С одной стороны хорошо, что решение вопроса отвечать-не отвечать находится на стороне России ибо у России более адекватное руководство, но с другой стороны может пора уже перевернуть эту чертову "шахматную доску"(по моему автор Бжезинский) с не нашими шахматами и начать играть в свои шахматы.
 
Idiots.


HERE WE GO

REGULAR TROOPS from France, Germany and Poland have arrived, by rail and air, to Cherkassy, south of Kiev.

Substantial force. No numbers have been leaked.

They are being housed in schools.

For all practical purposes, this is a NATO force.

Let the games BEGIN.

Mr. Khinzal's business cards will be in great demand.
 
Another greeting to the French. It was reported about the supply of these systems to Ukraine - I have not yet come across information about the destruction. Now the beginning has been made.
The French Crotale NG air defense system was destroyed in Ukraine
A French short-range Crotale anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed in the Ukrainian territory adjacent to the Belgorod region. These Crotale NG installations, designed for the Kiev regime, were first used in the conflict zone in March this year, although information about their deployment to the front appeared as early as October 2022, as reported by Avia.pro journalists.

The Crotale NG modification, although not the latest version of the system, was planned to be completely withdrawn from the French arsenal by 2025. Equipped with missiles with a fragmentation warhead weighing 14 kg and a total missile weight of 73 kg, the system has a maximum firing range of up to 10 km and can hit targets at an altitude of up to 6 km. The average speed of the rocket reaches 710 m/s, while up to eight missiles are placed on the launcher.

The complex uses radio command guidance with the possibility of radar or optical direction finding, and its radar is capable of detecting targets at a distance of up to 20 km. This is not the first case of the defeat of the French anti-aircraft complex in Ukraine: at the end of last year, a similar complex was destroyed near the Starokonstantinov airfield in the Khmelnitsky region.
На Украине уничтожен французский ЗРК Crotale NG

Очередной привет французам. Про поставки этих систем на украину сообщалось- про уничтожение мне еще не попадалась информация. Теперь начало положено.
 
Today, something comes across a lot of exotics. Here is a Polish self-propelled mortar Rak. It's not a common car at all.

This bfm-tv report shows how censorship in France has created an absurd, unhealthy and dangerous discourse of evil. We are not a democracy and we have been lying since the Minsk agreements at least. We are so pretentious...
Mac Ron was set up to do the dirty work of hijacking a country.
Mac Ron is sent to the junkyard because he has to be sacrificed at the moment. They are holding him in such a good way (hehe) that he must be on the front line from provocation to total war. Or rather, he sends "his?"troops... Is the army entitled to provoke a war that will ruin and destroy France?
His excuses for doing so is that the Russians cannot stand a homosexual 1st minister, and therefore as if... this was essential for the French people!
It becomes unbearable, both from the side of lies and futile tricks and the distortion of minds. It's disgusting. And we can no longer think we have good reasons to be so crazy.
He forgets that the French people also experienced the collabos which are still cited today as the worst of the second world war.
The resistance fighters have already had more values than the stupid soldiers...
