🔹At the Pentagon, there is an opinion that the morale and psychological state of the personnel of the RF Armed Forces is low. And this proven by the fact that Putin appointed the commander of the Southern Military District Dvornikov to lead the operation.
This is not so: Dvornikov, as the commander of the troops of the Southern Military District, has been leading the fighting in the Donbass-Luhansk direction since February 24.
It’s just that now you need to create a media picture: the famous general, who is accused of rivers of blood of the spilled Syrians, is Moscow’s last chance. Such conjectures do not correlate with reality in any way.

💢The US government has decided to speed up the supply of weapons. The Pentagon's meeting with defense contractors in Ukraine is part of the "normal rhythm of work" of the Ministry of Defense with representatives of the industry. In Ukraine, Switchblade drones have already begun to be used, and ATGMs for Javelin MANPADS should arrive in the middle of the month.
In the West, they have taken a course to impede the conflict in Ukraine in order to ignite new hot spots around Russia (the Caucasus and Central Asia). At the same time, companies in the military-industrial complex are trying to make the most of the active phase of the operation.

💢""THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE DONBASS: THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND CAPTIVES, SO THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, WE WAITING FOR NEW RECEIPT.
The Donbass cauldron will "give birth" to at least thirty thousand more. If the enemy shows prudence, then all fifty. Persuasion with the use of artillery is very effective.
We'll have to rely on the participation of Europe, she must feed her "warriors of light." Or will the West leave allied soldiers in this piquant situation? It turns out that for the war they needed these people, and in captivity, disappear to hell.
So let's see what kind of friends modern Ukraine has, how will the West behave, will it feed the prisoners, or will it limit itself to demanding release? I think in the LDNR they should adopt separate laws for prisoners (conditions of detention, involvement in work, distribution of bonuses and the path to release).""

I try not to publish gore on this channel - but I felt it was important to bring to light the way Ukrainian extremists shell civilian vehicles attempting to leave.
Pictured is a small child as a casualty of such sporadic shelling.

💢Missile cruiser "Moskva". Maxar satellites captured the ship in the harbor of Sevastopol on April 10.
It appears Russia is denying that it was struck, but is confirming the ship was lost to fire.
This isn't the first time a ship was coincidentally lost during this conflict.
That Russia does not entertain sabotage perhaps by NATO underwater teams, is disconcerting to me.
Losses at the hands of the opponent should be admitted, ( if true) as otherwise it only begs the question of what else is being covered up.

Some very preliminary thoughts on the destruction of the Moskva
I just woke up to hear the news that the Russian ship Moskva was destroyed by Ukrainian missiles.
At this time, we do not know the loss of life, the condition of the ship, or if the Russians have military assets to replace its functions in the Black Sea.
But some preliminary thoughts inevitably arise.
1. I suspect this was likely carried out by the AFU group protecting Odessa, which has so far—and uniquely—suffered no significant Russian attack, and is therefore at close to 100% military effectiveness.
2. Like the helicopter raid against the fuel depot in Belgorod, I suspect this was a rogue operation that was not ordered by Kiev.
Rationale for 2.: The first reason to think 2 is because Ukraine military command and control has completely broken down due to Russian strikes. The second reason is because the timing is not politically advantageous to Kiev. The Zelensky regime had just released photos of Medvedchuk in captivity — he is known to be a close personal friend of Putin’s. The political implications of having Medvedchuk captive had not been played out before this attack on the Moskva happened. Granted, the Russian Foreign Ministry had slammed the door on any kind of hostage exchange, saying that Medvedchuk was not a Russian national, so therefore he was of no interest to Russia. But it was still early days insofar as the Medvedchuk situation is concerned. So it doesn’t seem reasonable politically that the Zelensky regime would order such an attack on the ship before playing out the Medvedchuk hand. It would make much more sense if this were a rogue attack.
3. Don’t be surprised if the Zelensky regime initially tries to downplay this attack on the ship. The two minor Ukraine incursions into Russian territory—the helicopter raid on civilian fuel depot in Belgorod, and the minor sabotaging of the rail line from Kharkov to Belgorod—pissed off the Russians something awful, to the point where they were threatening to attack Kyiv‘s military and political headquarters. (Remember, the Russians’ stated goal is to not destroy key political and military infrastructure in Kiev or of Ukraine generally.) Destroying their ship, however, is a major provocation for the Russians — so elements within the Zelensky regime (probably military high command) who are very aware of this might openly argue in favor of downplaying the whole situation.
4. This of course won’t happen — the Zelensky regime is going to bang the drum on this “decisive victory”. And this will absolutely enrage the Russians.
5. I would not be surprised if the Russians over the next 96 hours carry out coordinated and devastating attacks in retaliation. Especially if photos/video emerge which show the Moskva has indeed sunk. The Russian public — not Putin and the political leader ship — will dictate the ferocity of the response. And paradoxically, the more the Zelensky regime bangs the drum on sinking the ship to raise morale in Ukraine and convince NATO to send more weapons — that is, the more Kiev rubs the Russian people’s nose in this loss — the more terrifying and devastating the Russian military response will be.
6. If and when Russia launches this devastating response to the sinking of their ship, they will deliberately and systematically hit all key Ukrainian military and political command centers across the country, up to and including Lviv. Previously, the Russians had cut the lines of military communication from Kyiv to the rest of the country — but had not taken out the actual command nodes. That will no longer be the case from here on out.
7. Another paradox: The sinking of the Moskva will give Russian military command the rationale to go scorched earth on Ukraine’s political and military leadership, just as they would against any other enemy. The Russian Ministry will raise no objections, because of the Zelensky regime’s intransigence insofar as any negotiated settlement.
