There will be no "unconditional surrender" with regards to RUS, nor will all of UKR be absorbed by RUS as a result of the current conflict.

Some more to the story from same tg channel:

👆🏻
So that you understand what a miracle this is -
for the entire time of the full-scale war, this is the first case in the brigade.

Usually they wait 1-2 days, and if the fighter does not return, then in about 90% of cases it is a dead person whose body cannot be approached at the moment, or only in 10% of cases - a prisoner.

But as written in open sources, after 1-2 days the family is notified, they are told that their relative has gone missing.🙁

The guy was contused, it turns out he ran almost to the orcs, found the abandoned cellars and hid there.
He did not have a supply of food and water for 8 days, so he looked for at least some food in abandoned houses.
Heard the voices of orcs who were up to 100m away from him, in neighboring houses, and just prayed that they wouldn't find him ❤️

As I promised, after his rest and recovery, I will try to ask him to tell everything in detail, with the permission of the higher commander.

Same tired argument for over a year now.

Here’s Russian TG discussing the unstoppable Russian war machine.

Here is Zaporozhye. The mobilized have been there since October. In September, there was mobilization and they immediately went to the front line. None of them were on vacation yet.

The problem of rotations is very acute. What the President said about vacations is not being fulfilled. I and the Ministry of Defense understand that there is no one to replace. Now counterattack. But for 9 months to sit in the trenches under shelling - the boys already have a flask whistling. Some commanders are released under their own responsibility, then they fly for this from the higher authorities. Top management doesn't even want to hear about vacations.

I understand everything, counteroffensive, attacks, there is no one to replace. But they say that there are a lot of contractors, so why don't they change the guys? Why are they not allowed to go home for 2 weeks? They say that a new mobilization is not needed, that everything is in order. But it's not fucking right. A political solution is needed here, not everything depends on the Moscow Region. It is very important. These are our people, our citizens, our soldiers. The authorities must think about them so that they have the strength to resist the enemy.

https://t.me/akashevarova/6541
https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/27193



Here’s the same guy who just reposted the above, only this time on Russia 1-
Tonight on the air of the program "60 minutes" on the TV channel "Russia 1" discussed the combat situation. We also discussed very acute and problematic issues at the front.
@NeoficialniyBeZsonoV

https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/27191



Here’s RSOTM (I’ll assume you know who that is) discussing Russia’s numerical/demographic superiority.
Russians who don’t speak Russian is a consistent complaint on these TG channels.

Today in Samara, a migrant was detained who killed a young girl, Ekaterina, in order to steal her SUV.

In court, it turned out that the migrant needed an interpreter, he did not speak Russian. But he received Russian citizenship in 2022.
The bastard, of course, will sit down. But the young girl cannot be returned. Her little son will grow up without a mother. That is, this animal destroyed two lives.

So.

All those who tell us that our economy cannot do without these valuable specialists.
Those who massively import people into Russia who do not want to respect our culture, traditions and for whom Russia is food.
Those who give citizenship to people who do not know the Russian language (that is, without any reason).
Those who in every possible way humiliate Russians who want to obtain Russian citizenship.
Those who constantly fascinate any draft law on repatriation.
Those who do not see problems with migration and try to resolve all acute situations through conversations with diasporas and holding events to strengthen friendship and integration.

All of them are indirect accomplices in the murder in Samara. And the subsequent crimes that will be committed by those for whom Russia is so, just a feeding trough.

https://t.me/rsotmdivision/8650

The only foregone conclusion here is Russian demographic collapse and economic underperformance, the war itself is clearly up for grabs.

More Russian TG-

I would like to comment on the public circus performance, which has been going on for many months now around attempts to arm the Belgorod territorial defense.

Recall that a regiment (3,000 people) of territorial defense has already been formed in the Belgorod region and it is planned to form another one.

However, at the moment this is nothing more than a regiment of potential prisoners, since under the current legislation they are civilians who are not supposed to be given automatic weapons, artillery and armored vehicles. And even despite the active raids of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine in the border areas, leading to noticeable losses, the position of the federal authorities on this issue has not changed in any way.

In this regard, local authorities are forced to come up with various Jesuit schemes to circumvent these restrictions, trying to resolve the issue of arming territorial defense within the framework of the current legislation. Which, most likely, means issuing people only carbines and smoothbore guns through the receipt of hunting tickets and / or a massive fictitious device in Okhotnadzor.

It is not clear how, with such weapons, the defense system should effectively protect the border from enemy special forces DRGs armed with automatic weapons, grenade launchers, armored cars and tanks, as well as artillery supported by fire. Also, at the same time, it is not clear why we have all these years in the semi-legal zone such organizations as PMCs have remarkably existed, the state has intently turned a blind eye to the possession of fighters of which with machine guns, and sometimes tanks with aircraft, but at the same time, the same state is still not able to to influence the armament of the TRO detachments in the border areas from above, so that they could effectively defend at least their own home.

We hope that this situation will be resolved in the near future not by issuing guns for duck hunting to these regiments, but by normal weapons and equipment.

I don't think that's how it will get used.

A couple grenades or a dozen in a trench, out if a hundred, vs a big 155mm blast, isn't much of a difference.  Properly dug fighting positions would actually be pretty resilient, minus the duds.

Throwing a lot of small explosions in a big area at once, on the attack...Id say that's a big are a soft target weapon, most likely a counterbattery weapon.  A gun battery in the open with a lot of HE and shells lying around would be vulnerable to it.
And the sporadic dud rate in a bad guys firing battery location will mess things up for them.  And you wont be attacking that area for awhile and stepping on your own duds.

We've gotten that here in Hungary also.

We had several Syrians years ago who wanted to convert to Catholism, the archbishop of Southern Hungary signed off and sponsored their visa.

They did the whole shtick until it came to their 1st communion and all of them disappeared as soon as they got their residence visas.

One of the priest saw them at the mosque in Budapest, the whole family did it as a scam.

All of it a scam.

Iran tangent-

The US Navy says it somehow thwarted Iranian military attempts to hijack two tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Moreover, it is alleged that in one of the cases, small arms fire was opened from an Iranian ship on the Richmond Voyager tanker, which is now under the control of the American company Chevron. On my own behalf, I’ll add that, judging by the outlines on the frames distributed by the Americans, one of the Bayandor-class corvettes participated in the incident with the Iranian side in the Richmond Voyager incident.

ATESH agents monitor the number and direction of movement of rashists in Kerch❗️❗️❗️

The movement of the Airborne Forces unit through Kerch has been confirmed. A convoy of more than 30 vehicles was moving towards the crossing - lightly armored patrol and reconnaissance vehicles, trucks, as well as cars. To replenish ammunition from the Crimean storage bases, a convoy of 16 military trucks moved in the opposite direction.

Agents track targets, identify vulnerabilities, and schedule tasks. Our Ukrainian land will burn under the feet of Russian invaders!

Help track down enemy vehicles in the Ukrainian Crimea. Send us photos and videos 👉 @atesh_fire

Rashists are concerned about the fate of the "Crimean" bridge ❗️❗️❗️

ATESH agents reported on the activity of FSB officers on the "Crimean" bridge. Specialists who arrived from Moscow installed corner reflectors painted gray on the structure. Russians are trying to save their "property" from Storm Shadow missiles.

This again confirms Russia's preparation of a terrorist attack at the ZNPP and the fear of retaliatory measures for the crime committed. ATESH agents are watching every step of the enemy!

⚠️ russians admit incompetent staff to work at ZNPP

The russian occupationists at the Zaporizhzhya NPP entrust the management of the largest nuclear facility in Europe to inexperienced specialists from the russian federation who do not have the necessary knowledge and skills at all.

Qualified Ukrainian ZNPP personnel, who for years ensured the power plant operation, continue to be subjected to pressure, intimidation and blackmail by russian nuclear terrorists. Meanwhile, the traitors are appointing young russians to leadership operational positions, for which a corresponding license is required.

Thus, an employee of the Balakovo NPP (russian federation), who has only seven (!!!) months of work experience, has been appointed shift supervisor of one of the power units whereas such a position requires much more experience given it involves operational management of the reactor.

‼️ Therefore, even by such actions, the occupationists once again expose the world to danger. Due to the incompetence and inexperience of brought russian personnel, the threat to the safe operation of Zaporizhzhya NPP is only growing. Therefore, it is necessary to return control over the power plant to its legal operator – Energoatom – as soon as possible!

OR, you build the nukes THEN ask for admission to NATO.  NATO would fall all over itself to get Ukraine into NATO just to have some control over the situation.  Ukraine HAD a "security agreement" prior to both the 2014 invasion and the 2022 invasion.  Those treaties and guarantees proved to be Bismarck's proverbial "scraps of paper".  Ukraine, with a humming wartime manufacturing economy spinning up AND a seriously competent dude now in charge of industry, plus probably the most institutional nuclear capability and knowledge in continental Europe between France and Russia, and probably already having enough enriched stuff already on-hand to build a few devices if they consolidated all of it, could go nuclear pretty fast.  Build a few devices, then let it be known that, IF they somehow found themselves in NATO, they would limit their devices to 50 or so below one 1Mt yield and be willing to open all facilities to some sort of NATO and/or IAEA monitoring.  NATO would be forced to take that deal as soon as they could round up the pens and paper.

India, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea have all gone Nuclear in the last 50 or so years.  Also, our current Maladministration is more or less letting Iran get the bomb based on a perversion of the Nixonian "regional powers" doctrine.  Our descendants will curse this administration for this the way that our generation curses FDR and his functionaries for giving the USSR largely uncontested control of eastern Europe.  NATO will have no choice but to let a nuclear Ukraine in, and will use Russian violation of the Budapest accords as a "cut-out" to justify it.  It's not like they will have a choice.

Ukrainian Counteroffensive Update:

Russian channels claim there are serious issues on the Bakhmut axis and that Ukrainian forces are achieving multiple breakthroughs on the front.

The 106th Guards Airborne Division reportedly lost over 50 men in one day near Klishchiivka and very few active personnel were left in one of the battalions.

Sources within the 106th complained that their field commanders were neglecting their duties and that no decisions were being made.

The 72nd IMRB have fled their positions and were replaced by rifle battalions, which were instantly hit by HIMARS.

Funny thing, these exact same shit birds had no problem spending trillions in cash, and way too much American blood (my father's, mine and my son's) on wars in places far less deserving.

Ukraine has yet to ask for a single American in Uniform to fight for them. I have some certain feelings for those who would have seen me dead in a third world shithole whose own sons weren't willing to fight for, yet are willing to sacrifice an entire culture simply because the President half ass supports them. If those brain dead zealots who have mistaken fascism for being conservatives were worth a shit they would be demanding we get off our asses and help a freedom loving people survive. Instead they applaud a dictator while his troops rape and murder their neighbors.

There are a few other reports saying that Belarus really didn't receive any nuclear weapons as Russia has claimed.

Yup. I guess anyone with any intelligence would ask themselves "would I do that in a similar circumstance" but when dealing with Russia, you cannot be logical. "If I had borderline personality disorder and was taking meth, would I do this?"...

Yeah. It was a dud. Some farmer will dig it up 30 years from now and sell it to a GD tourist as a souvenir along with some T55 tank treads...

So, I guess that the next administration needs to find a bunch of rural southern and midwestern sheriffs' deputies, teach them Russian, then hire them to run the analysis and research branch of the Russia desk at the State Department?
