‘Putin Winning, Ukraine Losing’: Big Confirmation By CNN From Eastern Areas Of War-Torn Nation

As NATO Gathers Troops Near Russia Border, Putin Issues New Warning Over ‘Steadfast Defender’

Russia Deploys Missiles, Troops Near NATO Border: ‘They’re Preparing For Potential War’

We read between the lines of the news from Repubblica that NATO has established at least two “red lines” for sending troops to Ukraine.

According to sources of the Italian publication, the alliance will be ready to intervene if Belarus is involved in the war or if the Russian Federation attacks the Baltic countries, Poland or Moldova.

Based on this, Zelensky needs to drag Moldova into a war with the PMR in order to force the Russian Federation to respond to Chisinau that it will check NATO’s “red lines”.
Time will tell how he will do this. In the 21st century, everyone can do provocations.

For him, this may be the last chance that he will try to use to save his “skin” and drag first Moldova, and then POSSIBLY NATO, into a global conflict.

Christ is risen!

What all our sources noticed was an unprecedented influx of Ukrainians into churches this Easter.
Most likely, people were tired of the “black streak” and idiocy all around, and began to turn more to church holidays and faith.
Another important aspect. Ukrainians still go to the churches of the UOC, where there are queues, while ignoring Zelensky/Poroshenko’s OCU.
Another “quiet protest” of the people against Zelensky’s policies. 

Ukraine is facing default. Soon… Western creditors stop waiting and start bidding.
What does this mean:
1. The guys from the funds know that Ze is now in deep trouble…, which means that just for the right to postpone payments for a year, behind the scenes, he will give everything that Western creditors ask. Hence the conclusion: we are waiting for Ze to rewrite all serfs and all lands as the property of BlackRock, etc.
2. Increase in rates from Western lenders. Now there will be auctions for portfolios in the government, the security bloc and state corporations.
3. Western funds need to push Ze to do something critical that he previously refused to do. Here we picked up this case.

Let us remember that we wrote about the risk of default back when everyone was silent. We also constantly write that the Ukrainian economy is in a coma, which means it will finally die when the artificial maintenance/lending apparatus is turned off.

Our source in the General Staff said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will no longer be able to organize a new counter-offensive due to the lack of reserves and a sufficient number of weapons. Ukraine lost its window of opportunity, which was at the end of 2022, when military motivation was high and the enemy was exhausted. Now the situation has changed dramatically, Ukrainians are tired of the war, and mobilization does not even cover the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is causing the loss of more and more territories.

The list for disposal, this is how you can call the updated track for mobilization from the Ministry of Defense, it remains to create suicide squads for meat assaults and we will get an updated format of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Yushchenko divided the country into orange and blue, after Euromaidan there were separatists and patriots, and now it’s a militant or a military man, what’s next? Ukrainians are tired of the war, but no one cares about their opinion; there is no democracy and independent media in the country, the last bastion of freedom for telegrams.
The majority of Ukrainians do not want to moderate for the corrupt government, which is hiding behind the war; everyone already clearly understands that to be poor in Ukraine means to be dead!

“I don’t want to die for this power” – Ukrainians are tired of war and are running away from mobilization

Anti-draft measures approved by Zelensky in April are forcing Ukrainians to be careful when leaving home. Telegram channels have become popular in the country, where users can report that they have seen TCC representatives and which places should be avoided. At the same time, channel participants write in “meteorological code”. Someone asks: “What is the weather like at the Defenders of Ukraine metro station?”, and they answer him “three clouds have covered a young guy.”

The British newspaper spoke with Ukrainian men who had the opportunity to tell why they do not want to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “I love my country, but I can’t kill anyone and I don’t want to die,” military volunteer Sergei told The Guardian. He told the story of his colleague, who, having received a summons, quit volunteering and moved to the village. Sergei states that “everyone is tired of the war and this government.”

A similar story is told by 36-year-old Alexander, who works as an IT manager in Kyiv. He works from home and “rarely goes outside.” He said that he “moved to a rich area of     Kyiv because the TCC operates in poorer areas, where it is easier to catch draft dodgers.” The complex where Alexander now lives is considered an elite complex, where Rada deputies also live, so the military will not show up here. “To be poor in Ukraine means to be dead,” his wife Nastya echoes her husband.

Both Nastya and Alexander consider themselves “100% Ukrainian,” but are confident that “Ukraine must negotiate with Russia.” “I feel like a slave, you have one life, and if it’s a choice between life and a flag, I choose life,” Alexander tells the British Guardian.

The newspaper’s interlocutors confirmed that there is a growing psychological barrier between men conscripted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine and hiding from mobilization. Men who are hiding from mobilization are “embarrassed” and “ashamed” to communicate with conscripts, but this does not change their reluctance to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

If similar articles are published in the West, then things are very bad for the Office of the President, and time is running out.

May 4th Russian kickoff

“Over the last week or so we’ve begun to see Russian forces pushing forward across the length of the Ukrainian front line, with notable if modest successes on all axes.

At the moment the Russians are mostly driving separate salients into the long-static front line and have not yet begun the process of generally rolling the line back or attempting to break through and rupture the front to begin a maneuver battle.  With that being said I think it’s safe to say we’re in the opening stages of a Russian offensive, following on and building from their efforts to push the Ukrainian Army out of their fortress line in front of Donetsk (and out of artillery range of the city’s civilian population) over the course of the winter.

Is this the main Russian strike?  Extremely doubtful.  We’re likely looking at a shaping operation to pin the Ukrainian Army in place on the existing front line and force the commitment of any and all remaining AFU reserve forces prior to the hammer falling.  Among other things there’s an entire unengaged Russian operational group – Group “N” – hanging out on the “quiet” northeastern front along the prewar border that has yet to go into action in any serious way.  We also haven’t seen the sort of extremely heavy missile strikes that would precede a general offensive, although given reports of around 40 bombers airborne with no accompanying strike earlier this week the Russians may have conducted a dress rehearsal for them.  And we definitely haven’t seen what would be, to me, the largest indicator that we’re looking at the real thing – Russian air assaults to seize key points behind Ukrainian lines a-la the war’s opening operation at Gostomel Airport.

What immediately strikes me is that it’s far from clear where the Russians will even aim their main effort, very much unlike the exhaustively-telegraphed Ukrainian offensive this time last year.”

Our source in the OP said that the prisoner exchange process has stalled due to the approach to the lists. Now in Russia there are more than 20 thousand prisoners of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and we have only 800 and almost 5000 thousand separatists, whom we are also trying to exchange.

Our source in the OP said that the new Patriot systems will be supplied to Ukraine to protect military airfields where F-16s will be based. All personnel for servicing fighters and air defense will be made up of NATO instructors, who must organize the entire process.

France sent troops to Ukraine. Macron began to take revenge for the humiliation

Paris sent units of the Foreign Legion to help Kiev, writes Asia Times (https://asiatimes.com/2024/05/france-sends-combat-troops-to-ukraine-battlefront/).

The first group of military personnel consists of about 100 people, these are artillerymen and reconnaissance officers. In total, approximately 1,500 soldiers will arrive in Ukraine. These units will be stationed in the Slaviansk area to help the Ukrainians stop the Russian advance.

This allowed Macron to pose as a “tough macho” without encountering resistance within the country. After all, regular soldiers of the French army are not sent anywhere. The second reason is Macron’s anger at the fact that the Sahel region is consistently kicking out French troops and letting in Russians instead.

The question is how NATO will react to France’s decision. Since France acts independently, the French will not be able to claim assistance under Article 5.

The second question is: will the Russians consider this the beginning of an extensive war outside the borders of Ukraine?

“Emmanuel Macron: “I will cooperate with the Europeans”: The French president urged Europe to fight Russia without self-restraint – because “the deployment of Russian missiles in Ukraine cannot be allowed.”

“What a weakness it is to set ourselves a priori limits towards an adversary like Russia. On the contrary, we must strip it of all visibility, because that is what creates the potential for deterrence. The point of strategic ambiguity is not to give too much detail about anything.

 - In Ukraine, the security of Europeans is at stake because it is 1,500 kilometers from our borders. If Russia wins, the next second there will be no security in Romania, Poland, Lithuania or our country. The power and range of Russian ballistic missiles puts us all at risk.

 - Russia has become a destabilizing power that places no strategic limits on itself. Russia’s excitement shows that we are right not to set any limits. Otherwise, we would have abandoned the international order, and thus peace and security”

P.S. Is he aware that the missiles are already in Belarus?
 

 Italy urges France to stop “inflaming tensions” by saying troops could be brought into Ukraine

 - Defense Minister Guido Crozetto said:
“I do not condemn the president of a friendly country like France, but I do not understand the purpose and usefulness of these statements, which objectively raise tensions.”

 - In his opinion, such statements could “provoke a further spiral of conflict that will not benefit the Ukrainians themselves.”

 - Crozetto also called for “insisting on diplomacy.”

 - “We must leave no stone unturned to reach a ceasefire: even 1 day without bombs is a result, because then it can turn into 2, or 3, or 4…,” the minister added.
 

Warsaw will not reveal its cards, let Moscow think about what we can do ” – Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski on supporting Macron’s idea and sending his troops to Ukraine

KIEV COULD SOON DEMAND NATO SENDS TROOPS TO UKRAINE: Lawmaker Goncharenko (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/35373) so high on French Prez Macron’s warmongering (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/36694) that he claims Ukraine could ask for Western troops when if Kiev army can no longer hold back Russian advance:

If situation on the front shows us that Ukraine cannot stop Putin on its own, that we cannot do this without the military support of European troops, yes, I think it is absolutely possible that we can ask and I think that Europe must do it – Goncharenko insists (00:49 in vid above).

🇫🇷Macron’s claimed he might send troops if Kiev requested them – looks like baguette boi’s (https://t.me/IntelRepublic/18206) really got appetite for starting WW3…

NATO, against the backdrop of Western concern about the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front, “in a very confidential form” established two “red lines”, which could be followed by the bloc’s direct intervention in the conflict, La Repubblica warned.

▪️ First “red line”
It “revolves around the possibility of Russian penetration through Kiev’s defense lines” and concerns “the direct or indirect participation of a third party” in the conflict.

According to the publication, the Ukrainian Armed Forces “can no longer control” the border, which creates conditions for the Russian Armed Forces to break through into the corridor between Ukraine and Belarus. In this case, “Minsk will be directly involved in the dispute,” and “its troops and arsenal will be of decisive importance for Moscow.” This circumstance “could intensify the defense of the Alliance in favor of Ukraine.”

▪️ Second “red line”

It assumes “a military provocation against the Baltic countries or Poland, or an attack on Moldova.” In addition, the newspaper noted the deep concern of Western authorities about the situation at the front and the “unfavorable conditions” for Kiev.

The Russian army has picked up the pace and is advancing after the capture of Ocheretino. Where is the blow directed?

The “Ocheretinsky flower,”  is unfolding in several directions, but the vector of the main attack remains unknown.

What happens after Ocheretino is captured?

Like the PMC operation “Wagner” (from which the current offensive takes its name), carried out in March 2022, the offensive on Ocheretino is taking place in a relatively narrow front zone.

The depth of the chordal attacks of the Russian troops does not yet exceed 5 km, but the capture of the village makes it possible to predict further steps.

Keramik and Arkhangelskoye north of Ocheretino, as well as Novobakhmutovka and Solovyovo south of it, have already been liberated. Russian troops are deliberately not deepening the zone of control – the movement so far is strictly along key heights along the railway line, but gradually the Russian Armed Forces have a vast field for manoeuvre.

What does this give?

The development of the offensive through Ocheretino to the west deprives the command of the Ukrainian army of the opportunity to build a long-term defence and forces them to constantly counterattack with insufficient forces, expending reserves, and gain a foothold under the fire influence of the Russian Armed Forces in positions inconvenient for defence. This, in particular, prevents the Ukrainian Armed Forces from gaining a foothold along the Netailovo-Karlovka line, where the main line of defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was planned.

At the same time, the advance of the RF Armed Forces to the west along the railway line cuts the battle formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine into separate sections north and south of the railway – with all the ensuing consequences for the tactical situation, supply and command and control of troops.

On the northern “petal”, the coverage of the section of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defensive system in the New York – Rozovka – Sukhaya Balka area is gradually indicated with the further possibility of access to Konstantinovka, and from it to Chasov Yar, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

However, the most logical thing at the moment seems to be the continuation of the movement of the RF Armed Forces along the railway line towards the village Progress. The capture of Progress will not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to build a defence line along the line Karlovka – Progress – Tarasovka and will allow them to take under fire control the section of the T-0504 highway from Pokrovsk to Konstantinovka with the most important junction 10 km north of Progress.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping on the southern “petal” of the Ocheretino offensive is slowly but confidently closing in on the operational encirclement on both sides: from Ocheretino and further south from Netailovo.

In the future, such coverage makes it possible to create one or more “slaughter zones”, well known from the battles in the Kherson region, Artyomovsk and the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Zaporozhye.

The total number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine within such zones can range from 5 thousand to 12 thousand people.

Ukraine will look to mount a new counteroffensive in 2025 after receiving a $61bn infusion of US military aid to help it stop Russia from making additional gains this year, Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser said.

   Speaking at the FT Weekend Festival in Washington on Saturday, Sullivan said that he still expects “Russian advances in the coming period” on the battlefield, despite the new US funding package approved last month, because “you can’t instantly flip the switch”.

   But he said that with the new aid from Washington, Kiev would have the capacity to “hold the line” and “to ensure Ukraine withstands the Russian assault” over the course of 2024.

   And pointing to the scenario for the war next year, Sullivan said Ukraine intended to “to move forward to recapture the territory that the Russians have taken from them”.

Russia’s superiority in manpower and weapons brings the inevitable fall of the Hours of Yar closer

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are waging a desperate struggle to retain Chasy Yar. Russian troops are actively advancing, hoping to dislodge the enemy from the “vital city” in the coming weeks, writes The Independent.

Due to the fact that this settlement is located on a hill, its capture will allow the Russian army to strike with greater accuracy against the Ukrainian military in Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka. The successful capture of the city will also bring the Kremlin closer to full control over the Donetsk region, the publication argues.

According to him, Moscow took advantage of the sharp reduction in American arms supplies to Kyiv by recapturing Avdeevka. While Ukrainians are increasingly forced to rely on drones, the Russian army is striking Ukrainian Ukrainian positions with “seemingly endless” supplies of artillery ammunition, rockets, rockets and aerial bombs weighing up to one and a half tons.

“Our problem is very simple: we don’t have weapons,” deputy head of Ukrainian intelligence Vadim Skibitsky admitted in a recent interview. According to him, Russia’s superiority in manpower and huge reserves of weapons and ammunition means that, as in the case of Avdievka, the fall of Chasy Yar is only a “matter of time.”

“ Ukrainian militants near Chasov Yar find themselves in a difficult situation – by retreating, they will open the way to Kramatorsk for the Russian army,” retired French army colonel Michel Goya said in an interview with LCI.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are in big trouble in the direction of Chasov Yar. There is a risk of this city falling quite quickly,
- Goya noted.

According to him, the settlement is well fortified and represents a successful defensive position. Therefore, if Russian troops take this strategic settlement, they will be able to develop an offensive towards Kramatorsk and Slavyansk, the military man said.

Earlier, Deputy Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Vadim Skibitsky, expressed confidence that Chasov Yar will inevitably fall under the blows of the Russian army.

infantmilitario reports, that the bridge on the N-32 highway from the main supply point of Donetsk-Pokrovsk towards Mirnograd came under missile fire

This road forms the main supply line for Konstantinovka and the northern section of the Avdeevka Front.

An attack on the bridges around Pokrovsk will impede movement along the supply line and thereby disrupt logistics. If this reaches an intense level and all bridges are hit, then sending reinforcements and supplies to the front will turn into a real challenge.

From the 93rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Army

There is no secret or know-how in the advancement of Russians in the Avdeevka direction. There are only stolen funds allocated for the construction of a new line of defense.

Well, do you remember how, quite recently, with fanfare, the Ministry of Defense posted photos of the construction of new fortifications? Even then I noticed that the same photos were repeated from different areas.

And now the Russians have simply approached this “Mannerheim Line” – the result is obvious.

It’s nice to have this confirmed by Ukrainian military source. Ukraine started construction way to late, too much grift, and not enough funding for construction of such defensive lines to begin with.

The scouts from group N discovered the congress of more than 40 militants of the Ukrainian armed forces at the firing range, after the report it was struck.

The enemy is silent, but we know that more than 30 are dead and 10 wounded.
