    Once again, your claims are the very opposite of reality. Modern Russia is fascist, complete with a dictator who has been in power for over 20 years and counting, and they view the Ukrainians as "Untermenschen" to be conquered and assimilated, their culture and language wiped out, their land incorporated to fascist Russia. They behave like Nazis and have the same kind of modern imperialist and ethno-centric, self-superior ideology. Their version of the Third Reich is Russkiy Mir.

    WHO was it, when they took power in the Ukraine through Illegal Coup and Foreign Subterfuge
    determined that Russians ( the largest ethnic Minority within the country ) no longer had rights to their
    culture and language ? - And were flat out told that they must assimilate as Ethnic Ukrainians in
    order to have the full rights of citizens. WHO exactly was it that was trying to conquer, wipe out and
    ............................................................................................................................................ incorporate WHO ?

    YOU commit the Vilest of Lies, YOU Lie to YOURSELF and PROJECT YOUR own corruptions
    ................................................................ Upon the OTHER - Upon the Untermensch - Upon the Orc

    Russian information warfare continues apace.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 29, 2024
    Mar 29, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    The Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (ROC MP), a Kremlin-controlled organization and a known tool within the Russian hybrid warfare toolkit, held the World Russian People’s Council in Moscow on March 27 and 28 and approved an ideological and policy document tying several Kremlin ideological narratives together in an apparent effort to form a wider nationalist ideology around the war in Ukraine and Russia’s expansionist future.

    US dithering has real battlefield costs in Ukraine.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 30, 2024
    Mar 30, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated that delays in American security assistance have forced Ukraine to cede the battlefield initiative and that these delays continue to threaten Ukraine’s defensive capabilities. The Washington Post published excerpts of an interview with Zelensky on March 29 in which Zelensky stated that Ukraine will not be able to defend its territory without American support, as Ukraine currently relies on air defense systems and missiles, electronic warfare jammers, and 155mm artillery shells from the United States. Zelensky stated that continued materiel shortages will force the Ukrainian military to cede more Ukrainian territory and people “step by step” since a smaller but more stable frontline is preferable to a larger but unstable front that Russian forces could exploit to achieve a breakthrough. Zelensky stated that Ukrainian forces are “trying to find some way not to retreat” from unspecified frontline areas and noted that Ukrainian forces have stabilized the front near Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast.

    There would be very little support for Russian aggression without Russian bribes and disinformation.

    “Evidence emerged that politicians from Germany, France, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary received clandestine payments, either in cash during covert meetings in Prague or through cryptocurrency transactions. The German publication Der Spiegel reported the funds originated in Moscow.

    While refusing to name the politicians involved, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said that members of the European Parliament accepted money to promote Russian disinformation narratives.

    “It came for example to light that Russia has approached MEPs, but also paid [them], to promote Russian propaganda here,” De Croo said while speaking at the Belgian national parliament.”

    The Russian church has a long history of stoogery. So much for the "special military operation."
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 31, 2024
    Mar 31, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    The Kremlin-controlled Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (ROC MP) reportedly directed all its clergy to change their liturgy to include pro-war prayers in support of Russia’s war of conquest against Ukraine and is likely threatening to defrock ROC MP clergy who do not support the war. A Russian Telegram channel with insider sources within the ROC MP amplified on March 31 a document dated March 29, in which Head of the ROC MP Affairs, Metropolitan Gregoriy of Voskresensk, instructed clergy to read a prayer — the “Prayer for Holy Rus” — on a daily basis during Lent. Metropolitan Gregoriy of Voskresensk also called on the clergy to read the “Prayer for Holy Rus” at home and to offer to read this prayer to parishioners. The “Prayer for Holy Rus” is a new prayer that the ROC MP officially introduced in September 2022. This prayer is a highly politicized and pro-war and pro-Kremlin prayer filled with Kremlin talking points and other false Russian narratives. The prayer asks God to “to help [Russian] people and grant [Russia] victory” against “those who want to fight [and] have taken up arms against Holy Rus, eager to divide and destroy her one people.”

    Ukrainians learn from experience. Russians under Putin cannot learn.

    “"First of all, we need to think about our generation mix and we need to think about how to protect our generation assets from (air) strikes," Kudrytskyi said.
    This would only be possible if Ukraine builds hundreds of small power plants throughout the country.
    "This process needs to start immediately," he said.”

    Ukraines energy grid was built during Soviet times to withstand heavy NATO/US strikes...., probably why it's durable today.

    Otoh......

    Once again Ukraine adapts to overcome hardship. Astonishing.

    It’s a combination of Ukraine's old, Soviet-era surface-to-air missile system, the Buk M1, "MacGyvered" to work with different combinations of radar systems and American missiles, including U.S. RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and there is a version for Patriot missiles.
    The Patriot system itself is in short supply. That’s why the U.S. Pentagon is working with Ukrainians to piece together new options for using different types of surface-to-air missiles, or SAMs. Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine’s minister for strategic industry, shared the news Wednesday at the World Economic Forum that "FrankenSAMs" apparently do work.
    "I am happy to announce that one of those systems had the first successful use this night. We put a Shahed down at 9 kilometers' range," said Kamyshin. "That's the first use of this system, this specific system.””

    The Russians are indeed the bad guys.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 1, 2024
    Apr 1, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    A joint investigation by 60 Minutes, the Insider, and Der Spiegel strongly suggests that the Kremlin has waged a sustained kinetic campaign directly targeting US government personnel both in the United States and internationally for a decade, with the likely objective of physically incapacitating US government personnel. The investigation, which the outlets published on March 31, indicates that the infamous Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (GRU) Unit 29155 (the same unit whose operatives attempted to assassinate Sergei Skripal with the Novichok nerve agent in the United Kingdom in 2018) may be using nonlethal directed energy or acoustic weapons to target a large number of US government personnel, each of whom has reported experiencing an “anomalous health incident” (also called “Havana Syndrome”) of varying severity between 2014 and as recently as 2023.

    The Ukrainians are girding for the long haul.
    Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 2, 2024
    Apr 2, 2024 - ISW Press
    [​IMG]


    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law on April 2 that lowers the Ukrainian military’s mobilization age from 27 to 25 years of age. The Verkhovna Rada approved the law in May 2023, and the law will come into force on April 3, 2024. Lowering the mobilization age is one of many measures that Ukraine has been considering in an ongoing effort to create a sustainable wartime force-generation apparatus. Lowering the mobilization age from 27 to 25 years of age will support the Ukrainian military’s ability to restore and reconstitute existing units and to create new units. Ukraine will need to equip any newly mobilized military personnel with weapons, and prolonged US debates about military aid to Ukraine and delays in Western aid may impact the speed at which Ukraine can restore degraded and stand up new units. ISW continues to assess that Western-provided materiel continues to be the greatest deciding factor for the Ukrainian military’s ability to restore and augment its combat power.

    Zoomic, why do not you like so much French people that you wish them to come to Ukraine? I won't be surprised if those French troops will be soon a breakfast for worms in Ukraine.

    Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
    Égorger vos fils et vos compagnes!
    Aux armes, citoyens! (Formez)
    Vos bataillons!
    Marchons! Oui, marchons!
    Qu'un sang impur
    Abreuve nos sillons!
    Sillons!

    If they go to the front lines, some no doubt will end up feeding worms somewhere. Such is the nature of war.

    But wars are fought to achieve greater aims. You know that.
