Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By trapsh00ter99: Yup, and vice versa for "conservatives" who care less about Ukraine. It's baffling how both sides are flipped. No consistent principles other than "be opposite of the opposite side, even if they support something opposite of what they normally support". It IS BAFFLING! You have commie peace-nicks driving around with Ukrainian flags on their cars while cold war conservatives who supported Reagan aiding to the Contras are now yelling "fuck Ukraine, just as bad...". Idiots! |

We publish a request from the editors of the Notebook publication and the answer:
Dear Evgeny Viktorovich! The correspondent of the edition "Notepad" addresses you. Our editors would like to ask you the following question: In recent days, there have been many events related to the presence of PMC "Wagner" in Bakhmut, as well as the issuance of ammunition to the fighters. Can you give a summary of what is happening and briefly describe the current situation? Thanks in advance for your reply! We publish a comment by Evgeny Prigozhin: 1. Bakhmut has no strategic importance; 2. Bakhmut was needed in order to, after the failures and retreat of the RF Armed Forces from Kharkov, Kherson and other regions, build up offensive potential, grind the enemy’s manpower and enable the Russian army to mobilize; 3. In view of the fear of internal competition, PMC "Wagner" began to "dry" in terms of personnel, weapons and ammunition, artificially reducing combat potential; 4. The effectiveness of the “Bakhmut meat grinder” decreased in April-May 2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine gathered for a counteroffensive; 5. Due to the reduction in personnel, PMC "Wagner" was forced to transfer the flanks to the military; 6. There is a serious risk of encirclement of PMC "Wagner" in Bakhmut as a result of the failure of the flanks. The flanks are already cracking and falling through; 7. In the absence of ammunition, the "meat grinder" will work in the opposite direction: the Armed Forces of Ukraine will destroy PMC "Wagner"; 8. I demand ammunition in order to save the lives of the fighters and “put the squeeze on” Bakhmut, in which there are about 5% left occupied by the enemy; 9. At the moment, within the city of Bakhmut, there is only Wagner PMC, there are no other units. Outside Bakhmut - only the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, PMC "Wagner" is not there; 10. PMC "Wagner" planned to leave Bakhmut to save the lives of fighters and minimize senseless losses, since the remnants of ammunition were only enough until the end of the day on May 9, 2023; 11. The top leadership of the country was instructed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to provide PMC "Wagner" with everything necessary; 12. On the night of May 6-7, 2023, a combat order was issued promising to give Wagner PMC ammunition; 13. During the day of May 8-9, 2023, the required amount of ammunition was not issued. Until now, ammunition has been filtered to a minimum; 14. PMC "Wagner" continues the offensive in Bakhmut and is awaiting a decision on the issuance of ammunition and weapons in the required quantity. https://t.me/Prigozhin_hat/3296 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By merick: Only the article at the beginning of this quote thread where they had enacted (or discussed depending on the source and date) tariffs. So not a kinetic strike, but a sign that European support is not monolithic. Here is another Though this one sounds a lot like regular europe doing europe things and they would probably be acting the same with or without the war. This is not an assault on Ukraine, however. My understanding is that the EU asked its Eastern European members; Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, to let Ukrainian grain through their territory on the way to Africa since the Black Sea shipping routes are threatened. They all agreed. However, the EU/Ukraine has overstepped the agreement and started selling grain in their country directly, and below the market price. Basically, the EU f@cked those countries over, and they responded by banning the sale/import of Ukrainian grain to protect their farmers. Since Ukraine is not in the EU, they were never supposed to sell directly on the EU markets like a member state would. |

It only coordinates up to the brigade or maybe division level. That might be one source of their confusion. Another factor may be that Putin has thrown in a bunch of oddball brigades (private, paramilitary, and from outlying areas) to bolster the RuAF numbers rather than a more unified conscription from the urban areas under the command of regular army commanders. Those units seem to have more allegiance to their province leader than to the RuAF. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By OBird: They are losing by almost any rational metric, but I sincerely doubt it’ll be over any time soon. If Putin crosses the line of declaring war and full mobilization (as opposed to his “SMO” and “partial” mobilizations), AND just tries to hold what they already have … that’s a lot of meat for the meat grinder, even if your tanks and cruise missiles are severely depleted. It could drag out for quite a while. But we shall see I guess. The coming counteroffensive (and how it goes) will give us a better idea of where things stand in the coming months. This is a war of independence like the American Revolution. Ukraine doesnt have to destroy Russia any more than the USA had to destroy England and put 'ol King George in irons. (granted the Brits burned the WH in 1812 so...) Just getting Russia to GTFO will be a victory and that could happen relatively quick. Or could take several more years. But I doubt Russia can drag this out for much more than a year. "when it happens it will be quick so stay close" Riddick |

As we near page 4000 of a 3 page war I want to once more thank the posters that make this tread the go to news source.
I firmly am of the opinion that this is the big one in determining the world order for the next 50 or 100 years. When the Ukrainians halted Russian expansion they sent a message to all the despots and shitholes that pine for a old timey wars of conquest. China, Iran ect would have been hugely embolded to play fuck fuck games on the world stage. India and it's new found cock sucking anti Western media also seemed to forget that actual Indian people do best when functioning in western societies, and life in that sewer masqerading as country will forever remain shit for the large as long as they stick with their toxic commie like culture and superstitions Russia has proven themsleves the AIDS of the international comunity. In the end once more the Russian people's actual enemy is the Russian.gov, they had the oppertunity to not go in with the tarded cult of personality redux but for some reason it was like a moth to a flame. So once more a big thanks to the contributers here and that make this tread a must visit for daily updates. The wide variaty of sources posted and analysis of what's going on are unmached by any media outlet IMO (If I'm leaving anybody out sry, off the top of my head and random order): @AlmightyTallest @Prime @m35ben @Fadesun @Easterner @Ryan_Ruck @ArmyInfantryVet @Capta @AROKIE @MelGibsonEnthusiast @ITCHY-FINGER @Swede1986 @ludder093 @dillydilly @gentlemanfarmer @Lorazepam @Ryan_Scott @CPT_CAVEMAN @GTLandser |

”The ground in Ukraine is still boggy and wet. In some places, there are still large lakes in the fields. The conditions for a comprehensive offensive have not yet been in place in recent weeks," German Inspector General Breuer told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in Berlin after a visit to Ukraine. "However, it became clear to me in all the talks that planning for the Ukrainian offensive is underway." For what it is worth. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Any of the first team NATO specops units would fucking annihilate Wagner. Wagner are brutal, immoral thugs with access to heavy weapons. In Africa that may be a winning combination, at least until someone else takes an interest. If the French ever get let off the leash, there will be no questions asked and no prisoners taken. My dad (former pilot) actually has a personal story about French actions in the Congo in the late 70s. When the French decide to take the gloves off, that means all the way off. You forgot that Wagner is the worlds largest neo nazi army since 1945. What’s it named after and what are those tattoos in utkins chest again? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Full video of the Russian surrendering to drone. Pretty harrowing, Russians dropped a couple of close mortars at the end to try to stop him. https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/13dthoi/full_video_of_the_russian_surrendering_and_work/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 What a fucking saga! The guy made the right move. He passed what looked like a knocked out M113 with a big reg cross on it. Like something from All Is Quiet On The Western Front... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By merick: I'll put it this way; Ziehan's idea that RU will soon go out of their way to strike grain bins doesn't make any sense as any effect on the economy would be delayed and have no effect on the war, and Kncook's assertion that these hypothetical strikes on grain storage will finally give Ukraine the reason they have been waiting for to strike within Russia also makes little sense as they already have more than enough reasons to do as much as they can.

Wow, I guess I missed the last Polish cruise missile attack on Ukrainian grain silos. last year's Ukrainian ND on Polish grain silos. What you asked was “will UKRAINE conduct reprisal strikes deep within Poland or Hungary?” This was in response to another poster’s comment about hypothetical attacks on UKRAINIAN food infrastructure. So again, please show us the POLISH or HUNGARIAN attack on Ukrainian food production/distribution infrastructure. We’ll wait. Everyone here knows what you’re doing. Get help, for your own sake.

You mean it makes as little sense as striking power stations, hospitals, shopping malls, and apartments rather than command centers, AD systems, and other military targets? Hmmm. Or using S-300 AD missiles as ground attack ballistics? Yeah, makes no sense to me either. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RockNwood: Ah, but Ben’s Boys now have 87% of Texas covered with kontakt-5. Bring it on Putin bitches! I'm envisioning the solar farms loaded with ERA blocks in the fields, while all the blades of the wind generators are struggling to keep up with all those added blocks. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Worthwhile NATO news conference. NATO explicitly says that Russia won’t stop with Ukraine. Some other points - integration of NATO planning with national defense plans *cough Poland and the Baltics.* Complete revamp of defense posture to meet the Russian threat. Following from that, acquisition of the necessary capabilities. Investment in defense logistics. Etc.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSTaqmz-KVcIt would have been nice if NATO had this “Oh shit Russia is trying to invade Europe” moment a year ago and decided to coordinate a reaction. But, better late than never! |
