Nov. 14 Front Report:

Southern Front. Filtration has begun in the Kherson region; according to Ukrainian media, 102 state traitors have already been recorded. This is the official figure, in reality it is probably much worse. At best, these people face trial and a long sentence for treason. I emphasize, at best.

DNR. On Pavlovka, which our military completely cleared out, the enemy used aviation - there are fatalities. There is an opinion that if our army does not move on, Pavlovka becomes a trap, instead of opening a bridgehead for further offensive of our troops to Ugledar. Vodyane, Opytne are settlements between Donetsk and Avdeevka, fighting continues there.

The Wagnerians entered Belogorovka, stormed near Sporny, trying to advance on the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut.

Our artillery hit the Ukrainian armed forces in Pervomayskoye, and aviation attacked their strongholds in Krasnogorovka and Marinka near Donetsk. Incidentally, Mishustin said that the government will allocate an additional 44 billion rubles to expand the production of aircraft engines of all types.

LNR. Late last night HIMARS strikes were carried out on the outskirts of Luhansk. It's been a long time since it flew there. Today the AFU attempted to penetrate in the direction of Kuzemivka, our attack was repulsed.

The situation in the Svatovsk direction is difficult, ours left the village of Makiivka and withdrew. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are pushing towards the Kremenna-Svatovo highway, the goal is to encircle Kremenna from two directions.

A woman was killed in Donetsk. In Belgorod, Belgorod district and Yakovlevsk city district our air defense system went off. A UAV dropped an explosive device on a residential apartment building in the village of Zamostye, a sugar factory in the village of Tetkino in the Kursk region was damaged.

Putin signed a decree allowing citizens of other states to serve in the Russian Armed Forces, and the European Union officially launched a training mission for 15,000 Ukrainian military on its territory. Meanwhile, a convoy of NATO armored vehicles was spotted in Lviv.

Biden held a meeting with Xi Jinping at the G20 summit, but the traditional joint photo session between the summit participants was canceled due to their disagreement over the situation in Ukraine and accusations against Russia.

At the initiative of the U.S. in Ankara, the CIA director met with the head of SVR Naryshkin, allegedly not about Ukraine, but about the possible consequences of the use of nuclear weapons. Mysterious. Earlier today, the WallStreetJournal reported that the U.S. is advising Kiev to abandon Crimea and prepare more "realistic" positions for negotiations. I wish that were the case.

Poland and Germany are seizing Gazprom's property, while the U.S., on the contrary, has loosened sanctions and allowed operations with a number of Russian companies to ensure the safety of civil aviation.

Cognitive dissonance.
Over the weekend, major Western newspapers came out with covers showing joyful Kherson residents greeting AFU soldiers. And the Daily Mail published footage from Kherson showing residents accused of collaborationism tied to poles. The Ukrainian General Staff reports that a number of journalists have had their work permits revoked, such as those from CNN and Sky News.

Inside Ukraine, the start of filtration measures in Kherson is reported: "The highest number of collaborators is recorded in the Kherson region. On November 11, the AFU entered Kherson. Of course, thousands of Kherson residents rejoiced, cried, and celebrated. However, traitors and collaborators remained behind the scenes.

Fedorova, head of the Ukrainian NGO Movement Chesno, told a journalist that her organization is now passing data on people (our supporters) to the special services: "According to a public figure, 102 state traitors have been registered in the Kherson region. This is quite a big indicator. The information on these people is 100% confirmed. There are a lot of deputies of local councils".

Can you imagine? In just a couple of days they identified 102 people, this is more than they claimed for Kharkiv region after the "redeployment".

When we retreat, everything follows the same scenario: the city is shut down, filtering, killing
Russian Federation supporters. After the filtration, they open the city, invite journalists, and show the "victims of Russian aggression. In the case of Kherson, they did not do the same thing as they did near Kiev, not like they did near Kharkov, and they invited a number of journalists. Now Kiev has convinced itself that this practice is wrong, invited journalists for beautiful footage, and those who show signs of impartiality (such as those who publish footage of pro-Russian citizens tied to poles) are denied entry into Kherson.

I am afraid that all of these people, our supporters, will be tried for treason at best. I emphasize, at best. And in the West, they look at the pictures in the newspapers and see, as a rule, what they want to see, and let's be honest, what they wanted to see...

Russia holds ALL positions on the left (east) bank of the Dnieper River, NONE have been taken by AFU. NONE. The situation remains not good in reality, no need to make it appear worse with unconfirmed bullshit.

From Oleg Tsarev today -
Comrade journalists, subscribers and friends. It is the second hour of the night. Have a conscience. I'm turning off the phone. That's a panic you have to stir up.
I have already written once, I will repeat it again. Not a single settlement on the left bank of the Dnieper, of those that were under the control of the Russian army, has been taken by the AFU today. Moreover, there has not even been an attempt to do so.
I don't know why you need to kill your rating and write and repost nonsense that is easily verified.

Чтобы объяснить, почему "сейчас" не так, как "тогда", и что Родина больше не переживёт вселенских потопов в виде революций, нужно написать целый ворох соображений и аргументаций, большая половина из которых будет некомпетентными размышлизмами. Я уверен, что старая формула " до основанья, а затем... " возможна - заграница нам поможет, - но в современных условиях "затем" уже не будет.

Мир изменился. Моя бабка родила шестнадцать детей, компенсируя высокую смертность - сейчас рожать не хотят, а следовательно - некем компенсировать смертность. Даже нынешняя война уже нанесла по нам удар в виде прямых потерь, - но и не прямых тоже: мой друг обратил моё внимание на то, что в период лихолетья люди меняют свои планы и отказываются от рождения детей, потому что ими движет неуверенность в завтрашнем дне. А если по стране прокатится что-то подобное гражданской войне прошлого столетия - у страны не будет шансов выжить.

Не будет шансов и набрать потенциал, потому что мир стал слишком технологичным. Мы не оправились после утечки мозгов и дикой приватизации девяностых, почти утратив инженерную школу - очередной катаклизм добьет последнее. Мы станем просто колонией, поделенной между китайцами и всеми остальными, и если мне возразят, - а сейчас, дескать, мы сильно самостоятельные, когда в Крыму нет МТСа и Сбера, например? - то отвечу, что сейчас и потом будут отличаться катастрофически.

Недавно, как вы помните, я писал про наведение дисциплины ещё на дофронтовом этапе - добавить нечего. Государство объективно оказалось не готово к таким вызовам и пока собирается с мыслями. А пока оно собирается - функции осуществления насилия переходят в частные руки, чего я, как правоохранитель и в принципе - охранитель, - одобрять не могу. Если нужно кого-нибудь показательно лишить жизни - отмените на время запрет на смертную казнь и выполните свою функцию. Но когда мы не справляемся с бунтами на сборовых пунктах или переуступаем право на насилие частным лицам - это не свидетельствует о нашей силе и форматирует мозги населения не самым правильным образом.

Конечно, своей публикацией я точно не призывал к расстрелам мобилизованных, устраивающих саботаж, и кто усмотрел в тексте этот призыв - невнимательно читал. Про смертную казнь я имел ввиду те случаи, когда наши военнослужащие сознательно переходят на сторону врага и выступают против нас. В таких ситуациях нужен не самосуд, а показательная казнь руками государства. А что касается призывников, совершающих саботаж, то для них нужны штрафбаты - об этом я говорю ещё с марта. Зачем их расстреливать и лишать возможности искупить кровью свою вину?

По Павловке противник применил авиацию - есть погибшие. Если мы не движемся дальше, то Павловка становится ловушкой.

To explain why "now" is not the same as "then" and that the Motherland will no longer survive the universal floods of revolutions would require a whole pile of considerations and arguments, most of which would be incompetent musings. I am sure that the old formula "to the ground and then... I am sure that the old formula "to the foundation, and then..." is possible - abroad will help us - but under present conditions "then" will no longer be possible.

The world has changed. My grandmother gave birth to sixteen children to compensate for the high mortality rate - now nobody wants to give birth, and therefore there is no one to compensate for the mortality rate. Even the current war has already hit us in the form of direct losses - but not direct ones either: my friend drew my attention to the fact that in times of hard times people change their plans and refuse to have children because they are driven by the uncertainty of the future. And if something like the civil war of the last century were to sweep through the country, the country would have no chance of surviving.

Nor will it have a chance to gain potential, because the world has become too technologically advanced. We have not recovered from the brain drain and wild privatization of the nineties, almost lost the engineering school - the next cataclysm will kill the latter. We will become just a colony, divided between the Chinese and everyone else, and if people say to me, "Are we so independent now, when there is no MTS and Sber in the Crimea, for example? - I would answer that the differences between now and then are disastrous.

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 7:00 AM]
Recently, as you may recall, I wrote about the imposition of discipline back in the pre-frontier phase - nothing to add. The state objectively turned out to be unprepared for such challenges and is still gathering its thoughts. And while it is gathering its thoughts - the functions of violence are passing into private hands, which I, as a law enforcement officer and in principle a protector, cannot approve of. If you need to take someone's life for show, then abolish the ban on the death penalty for a while and fulfill your function. But when we fail to deal with riots at assembly points or assign the right to violence to private individuals - this is not evidence of our strength and does not form the brains of the population in the right way.

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 10:35 AM]
Of course, with my publication I certainly did not call for the shooting of mobilized saboteurs, and whoever saw this call in the text - did not read carefully. As for the death penalty, I meant those cases when our servicemen deliberately go over to the side of the enemy and oppose us. In such situations we need not a lynching, but an exemplary execution by the hands of the state. And as for connoscripts who commit sabotage, we need the penalty cells for them - I've been talking about this since March. Why shoot them and deprive them of an opportunity to redeem their guilt with blood?

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 3:06 PM]
The enemy used aviation on Pavlovka - there are fatalities. If we don't move on, Pavlovka becomes a trap.

So much for freedom of speech... Guess I better go ahead and STFU now, since it will soon be illegal to call a fuckup, a fuckup.

Russia will begin to deprive citizenship for discrediting the army.

Vladimir Putin has introduced an amendment to a draft law on the possibility of depriving acquired citizenship in the first reading:

▪️activation of an undesirable organisation;
▪️ dissemination of knowingly false information on the use of the army;
▪️calling for the violation of territorial integrity;
▪️ discrediting the army;
▪️ public calls for extremism;
▪️ encroachment on the life of a public figure;
▪️ organising an armed insurrection;
▪️ desecration of the national coat of arms and flag;
▪️banditry, robbery, bribery, vandalism, and some others.

@NewResistance

После завершения Мариупольского этапа операции у нас выдалась пара недель на приведение себя в порядок, и как-то ситуативно вышло, что в штабе оказалось большинство командиров подразделения, и возник разговор без официоза. Отмечая, что у нас есть поводы быть довольными результатами, я, тем не менее, призвал судить объективно: если бы армейские части, шедшие впереди и несшие немалые потери, не подвели нас к городу - то у стен города закончились бы мы. Подытожив, что нет ни одной значимой победы без значительных потерь, и резюмировав, что достижение цели идёт на полголовы впереди сохранения жизней, я оставил парней в задумчивости.

Но тут важно определить формат цели... Если мы наступаем широким фронтом и преследуем масштабные цели, то да - мы несем и существенные потери. Но пропорционально они ниже, чем когда мы грыземся за тактический кусок, вклиниваясь в оборону противника без влияния на фронтовую инфраструктуру. В этом случае мы получаем удары и с фронта, и с флангов - все фокусируется в одной точке и выжигает нас, как луч солнца через увеличительное стекло.

И вот здесь нарушается принцип целесообразности, когда победа превращается в такую головную боль, что я бы предпочёл оставить такой кусок за противником и делать с ним то, что он делает с нами, побеждая не квадратными километрами, а численностью выведенного из строя личного состава врага. Но чтобы наступать широким фронтом - нужно готовить операции, накапливать ресурс, формировать запасы, а не выжимать из армии последние соки, не оставляя сил даже на оборону.

Words of Wisdom from The Commander Alexander Khodakovsky -

"After the completion of the Mariupol stage of the operation, we had a couple of weeks to clean up, and somehow it happened that most of the unit commanders turned up at headquarters, so there was an off-the-record conversation. While noting that we had reason to be pleased with the results, I nevertheless urged an objective judgment: if the army units that had marched ahead and had sustained heavy losses had not let us down, we would have ended up at the city walls. After summing up that there is no meaningful victory without significant losses, and after summing up that achieving the goal is half a head ahead of saving lives, I left the guys in suspense.

But it's important to determine the format of the objective... If we are advancing with a broad front and pursuing large-scale goals, then yes, we take significant casualties. But they are proportionally lower than when we are gnawing for a tactical piece, cutting into the enemy's defense without affecting the frontal infrastructure. In this case we receive blows both from the front and from the flanks - everything is focused in one point and burns us out like a sunbeam through a magnifying glass.

And this is where the principle of expediency is violated, when victory becomes such a headache that I would rather leave such a piece to the enemy and do to him what he does to us, winning not by square kilometers, but by the number of enemy personnel taken out of action. But to attack with a broad front - you need to prepare operations, to accumulate resources, to form reserves, and not to squeeze the last juices out of the army, leaving no strength even for defense."

"Accused"? I have personally seen them in Petrovsky District and in central Donetsk. And "allegedly" the sun might come up tomorrow in the morning...

Ukraine accused of using controversial 'butterfly' mines against Russia

From The Jerusalem Post

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) recently accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of planting PFM-1s, also known as butterfly mines, throughout residential areas of Russian-controlled Donbas. 
"The fact that the Ukrainian nationalists even possess butterfly mines speaks volumes," wrote the Russian MFA on Telegram. "By signing the 1997 Ottawa Convention, Ukraine made a commitment not to use antipersonnel mines under any circumstances, not even on the battlefield, and to destroy all stocks of such mines held in arsenals."
The Russian MFA also claimed that "the use of butterfly mines goes against the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of August 12, 1949."
Ukraine did indeed sign the 1997 Ottawa Convention (also called the Mine Ban Treaty), which requires signees to cease the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and destroy any current stockpiles.
At the time of signing, Ukraine claimed to be in the possession of 6,000,000 butterfly mines according to the European Union's Commission Implementing Decision on the Annual Action Programme 2013 in favor of Ukraine, which promised EU financial assistance to Ukraine in exchange for the destruction of its anti-personnel mines.
In 2014, Ukraine submitted documentation to the Mine Ban Treaty Third Review Conference asserting that it had destroyed a cumulative 568,248 butterfly mines since ratifying the treaty and submitted multiple requests for an extension of the treaty deadline (by which time all mines must be destroyed) between 2018 and 2021. 
Ukraine submitted its most recent report in January 2021, which put its stockpile numbers at 3,363,828 butterfly mines. Since then, there has not been any further effort to destroy the stockpile. 
 

Classic!

"Due to poor intelligence", US mercs find themselves lost in Ukraine, try to ask a local for a map, but don't speak Russian... Or Ukrainian. 🤡💩 😆😆😆
