2/ #Kremlin propagandists have begun hypothesizing that Ukrainian forces seek to invade #Belgorod Oblast, and other Russian sources noted that Russian forces need to regain control over Kupyansk, #Kharkiv Oblast, to minimize the threat of a Ukrainian attack.

4/ These ridiculous speculations about a fantastical Ukrainian invasion of #Russia may also be part of the Kremlin’s effort to acknowledge and appease the Russian pro-war nationalist community.

2/ Up to 300,000 Russians have already been mobilised, but problems with the current wave of mobilisation are said by Verstka to have persuaded the Kremlin that a general mobilisation of up to 25 million reservists is not possible.

— ChrisO_wiki@mastodon.social (@ChrisO_wiki) November 23, 2022

4/ Verstka says that according to a source in the Russian Far East military distriuct, there are currently neither organisational, nor material resources for full mobilisation, nor even for any large-scale second wave of mobilisation.

"As countries send their Cold War-era weaponry, much of it Soviet-designed, to Ukraine, many have received new hardware to replace it. As a result, the alliance is growing increasingly integrated, reliant not on mismatched Soviet-era stockpiles but on modern weapons that are often more interoperable even if acquired from different sources."

Interesting read.
Thanks.

This post by Igor Korotchenko, a prominent propagandist on Rossiya-1, highlights protests as an option for Ukrainians who want a normal life. Along with depopulated cities by fleeing to Poland, which is a military goal of the strikes https://t.co/wHjcyYawNx

So, basically state terrorism

Attacking civilian infrastructure soft targets is the only thing they can successfully accomplish. Their military is isht, so they attack the one thing a isht military is capable of succeeding against… civilian targets.

Between deporting 5 million people through concentration/filtration camps and into Russia, and killing/driving out millions into Europe, it's classic ethnic cleansing and exemplifies that Russia's goal truly is to simply annex the territory for the benefit of Russians while eliminating the viable existence of Ukrainians as an independent ethnicity.

Pretty much the same play, from the same playbook, that Russia has run time and again for over a century, to include, on previous occasions in Ukraine.

I don't think that plan by the Russians is having or going to have the outcome they think it's going to.

For the War Council:

once those Polish T-90 refurbished tanks cross into Ukraine, where would you as the UAF high command deploy them?

1. keep all 85 of them in one mechanized Corps and advance on Melitopol from the North

2. split them up into companies and deploy in defense at Pavlivka, Svatove, Bakhmut, Lysochansk

3. ferry them across the Dnipro and have them attack east through the middle of Kherson oblast to outflank the Russian forces from the West (just north of Crimean boundary)

4. other

Russian strategic bomber activity is noted in the Caspian Sea incoming missiles towards Ukraine are expected.

Listen to air raid sirens!

Mykolaiv is already under Uke control. Do you mean Melitopol or Mariupol?

1. Depends on logistics capability and capacity. Tactical employment is also a variable.

2. Armor should be used in combined arms offensive operations to maximize its effectiveness. A stationary tank is nothing more than a pillbox and can more easily be eliminated.

3. Ferrying main battle tanks across a river the size of the Dnipro would be time consuming and resource intensive. You would want to be in complete control of both side of the crossing and possess superior fires and control both on the ground and in the air.

That's no lie

Interesting thought in this one. Basically, we are seeing the last of the Soviet civil war play out in Ukraine. And the US is doing all it can to eliminate the only foe who ever posed the threat of total inhalation to the US.

as a human being I have pity for the Russian who was being beaten to get back into the trench.

notice the Ukes laughing at them-

there will be societal problems in Ukraine for decades after this is all over as many have now lost their humanity.

it will be worse in the rump Russian state though-

as wounded and traumatized males stream back into the cities and towns, where not only will there be less population growth, marriages and business development but increased alcoholism, suicide, and wife beatings.

UK and US sending more gear to Ukraine.

You are correct

the Melitopol axis whereby the Ukes would cleave the Russian front into two and only have to drive south to the tip of the river

As a combat veteran, the son of a combat veteran and the grandson of two combat veterans I'm real interested in hearing why you think this would occur.

"The EU has provided 500 generators through its Civil Protection Mechanism with another 300 funded through humanitarian aid. Repair kits to mend damage on electricity grids were also provided." US has sent 200 generators, too.

HEAT

This would absolutely be my choice. Drive straight down the E105 from Zaporizhzia to the coast. Depending on the strength of the forces in Melitopol, possibly bypassing it in favor of simply severing supply lines and avoiding urban combat.

Establish defensive lines/blocking forces along that axis, and then drive westward, necessitating any Russian forces to either flee into Crimea, surrender, or he pinned against the river and destroyed.

Once you've accomplished this, Russia's ability to supply a southern front from Crimea will have been eliminated. All southern coastal Russian ports/bases will then be at risk and you'll be able to begin working to soften up both Crimea and the approach to Mariupol.

Do something completely unexpected with a big upside - take Donetsk and proceed to hammer the remaining primary roads from Russia to Ukraine.
Then turn south to Mariupol.
