Notice that reports are coming in about the ukrop advance from everywhere... EXCEPT Donetsk. It is pretty quiet here tonight. If the ukrops give Russia 24 hours to respond to "movement" in other directions, an attack in an unexpected area would be easier. We will soon see.
=============================================

An offensive may have begun or is about to begin. Some military analysts predicted the main strike on the Zaporozhye front, auxiliary ones on the Kherson front and (possibly) on the Donetsk front.

This is very serious. Friends told me Slavskiy directed this post to me. I read it - and I agree with most of his argument. I had extensive discussions about it before I left Moscow - yes, I'm back in NATOstan and it sucks. Slavskiy seems to perfectly understand what's underneath the whole Prigozhin drama.

To be continued.

Good article. Slavinsky (and Escobar, by extension) even give me a shout out, which is pretty amazing these days, and shows he's got brains AND balls. However, Slavinsky seems to imply that I have just recently seen the light, whereas he's just pretty much recently saying what I've been saying all along. Still, I'm glad you brought it to my attention, glad I read it, and I will share it. I recommend you do the same. I hope we are all wrong about this, but like I said, every day it looks less and less likely that we are.

⁉️ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO CONTACT ROLO SLAVINSKY⁉️

IF SO, SEND ME A TG PM AT - https://news.1rj.ru/str/texac_donbass
OR TELL HIM I LIKE HIS WORK AND WANT TO TALK WITH HIM.
MY EMAIL - russell.bentley@mail.ru

‼️Иван Приходько, глава Горловки, о сегодняшних отстрелах города. Семь человек ранены, один погиб: Десятки домов разбиты. Удары по гражданскому сектору идут с четырёх утра. Многострадальная Горловка снова под огнём.

Ситуация тяжелая и опасная, но, возможно, нам повезет. В любом случае, что бы ни случилось, никакой капитуляции, никакого отступления, по крайней мере, в Донецке. ✊🏻

Things are hard and dangerous, but maybe we'll get lucky. Either way, come what may, no surrender, no retreat, at least in Donetsk. ✊🏻

And Donbass lasted 8 years... And is still standing.

Russian actor Vasily Lanovoy: "In Europe, journalists asked me: 'Why do you celebrate Victory Day like that? We have already forgotten it.

I asked them, "How many days did your countries resist Hitler?" They are silent.

Then I continued: "Poland was conquered by the Nazis in 28 days, and in Stalingrad, in 28 days, the Germans were able to capture only a few houses. Denmark lasted exactly one day. And the whole of Europe was subdued by the Nazis in three months. And Soviet soldiers had to liberate it. At a cost? A million lives of Soviet soldiers given for the liberation of Europeans from fascism.

But Europe decided to forget that!".

We will not forget it!

When they try to silence our Victory, to forget it, to erase it from the memory of whole generations and whole peoples, it is useful to remember that in the Second World War they resisted the German troops:

Denmark - 6 hours;

Luxembourg - 1 day;

Holland - 5 days;

Yugoslavia - 11 days;

Belgium - 18 days;

Greece - 24 days;

Poland - 27 days;

France - 1 month and 12 days;

Norway - 2 months and 1 day.

Pavlov's house at Stalingrad held out for 58 days. During the defence of Pavlov's house, the Nazis lost more soldiers than during the capture of Paris.
The Soviet Union held out for four years (1418 days) and ended the war in the enemy's lair: Germany capitulated.

Everyone should remember this. We need to tell our children and grandchildren about this, so that they remember it!

Happy Great Victory Day!

Сегодня мы собираемся сдать кровь за семью, которую вчера разбомбили и тяжело ранили в Петровском.

We are going to give blood today for the family that was bombed and injured severely in Petrovsky yesterday.

WEST'S ATTACK ON WAGNER BLOW BACK

Commander Khodakovsky analysis of events yesterday -

"As far as I understand, the first onslaught was repulsed? The level of tension that arose yesterday and was expressed in the quality and quantity of calls and messages indicates that we are not mentally ready. This is how we prepare, we prepare for the counteroffensive - and we didn’t prepare. Where is the toggle switch in the heads that needs to be switched to the "ready" position? We have a strange preparation formula, - recalls the anecdote about a Jew who was repairing a sloping roof without insurance and suddenly went: whoa, whoa, - said the Jew, unable to do anything. Now let's go, - he said, sliding to the edge.

I want to remind everyone that the combination of high susceptibility and methodical information and sabotage work of the enemy can lead us to panic, in which the leadership of one of the regions adjacent to the NVO zone almost found itself. Until recently, it did not allow the mobilized to be placed on the territory of its children's camps and boarding houses, because they leave srach behind them, and then they suddenly panicked that the enemy would crawl in and destroy the peaceful course of life, despite the fact that there was a war around. But there was a war, right? And then suddenly there was a threat to face her nose to nose ..."

Насколько я понимаю, - первый натиск отбили? Уровень напряжения, который возник вчера и выразился в качестве и количестве звонков и сообщений, говорит о том, что морально мы не вполне готовы. Вот так готовимся-готовимся к контрнаступлению - и не подготовились. Где тот тумблер в головах, который нужно переключить в положение "готовность"? У нас странная формула подготовки, - напоминает анекдот про еврея, который чинил наклонную крышу без страховки и вдруг поехал: тпру-у, тпру-у, - говорил еврей, не в силах что-либо предпринять. А теперь поехали, - сказал он, доскользив до края.

Хочу всем напомнить, что сочетание высокой восприимчивости и методичной информационно-диверсионной работы противника может подвести нас к панике, в которой едва не оказалось руководство одной из прилегающих к зоне СВО областей. Ещё недавно оно не разрешало размещать на территории своих детских лагерей и пансионатов мобилизованных, потому что они оставляют за собой срач, а тут вдруг запаниковало, что противник доползет и разрушит мирное течение жизни, несмотря на то, что вокруг война. Но война то ведь была где-то? А тут вдруг возникла угроза столкнуться с ней нос к носу...

Tsarev on recent events -

"CNN writes, citing senior military officials, that Ukrainian forces have begun conducting operations in preparation for a counteroffensive against Russia.

They write that offensive preparation operations involve striking weapons depots, command centers, armored vehicles and artillery systems in order to prepare the battlefield for the advancing forces. This is a standard tactic used before major offensive operations.

They recall that last summer there was a lightning-fast ground attack in Kharkiv without much preparation, but in the Kherson region, Ukraine launched attacks on bridges, ammunition depots and command centers. Most of them were performed using HIMARS. There were also several airstrikes.

The US official believes that these preparatory operations could continue for many days before the main part of any planned Ukrainian offensive. By the way, another of their goals is to confuse our military leadership.

It is obvious that this is what is happening. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are touching the front in different directions, raising the degree of tension in the Internet space. Plus, you need to understand that they received long-range missiles, they have been spending missiles for HIMARS quite economically lately - strikes using these means will mean the final stage of preparation."

CNN пишет со ссылкой высокопоставленных военных чиновников, что украинские силы начали проводить операции в рамках подготовки контрнаступления против России.

Пишут, что операции по подготовке к наступлению подразумевают нанесение ударов по складам оружия, командным центрам, бронетехнике и артиллерийским системам, чтобы подготовить поле боя для наступающих сил. Это стандартная тактика, применяемая перед крупными наступательными операциями.

Вспоминают, что прошлым летом в Харькове было молниеносное наземное наступление без особой подготовки, а вот в Херсонской области Украина предпринимала атаки на мосты, склады боеприпасов и командные центры. Большинство из них были выполнены с помощью HIMARS. Было и несколько авиаударов.

Чиновник США считает, что эти подготовительные операции могут продолжаться в течение многих дней до начала основной части любого запланированного украинского наступления. Кстати, еще одна их цель — сбить с толку наше военное руководство.

Очевидно, что так и происходит. ВСУ трогают фронт на разных направлениях, взвинчивают градус напряжения в интернет-пространстве. Плюс надо понимать, что они получили дальнобойные ракеты, они довольно экономно расходовали ракеты к HIMARS последнее время – удары с применением этих средств и будут означать завершающую стадию подготовки.
