The issue of the status of those mobilized in 2022 remains taboo, the Telegram channel “Two Majors” points out today in its assessment from last week.
“This week there was a meeting between well-known military correspondents/military bloggers and the Minister of Defense. Andrei Belousov. The comments suggest that the minister is aware of the current problems at the front and is making practical efforts to improve the situation. However, there are still many problems, as evidenced by the constant arrests of “mid-level” military officers. The issue of the status of those mobilized in 2022 remains taboo. Apparently, because it is on the political level.” – the authors of the TC highlight.
They note that last week the war in Ukraine took place in the context of the foreign policy actions of Russia and its opponents. Vladimir Zelensky He visited the United States with his “victory plan,” which was criticized because everything depends on receiving new multimillion-dollar shipments of military-technical assistance, as well as permission to fire NATO missiles into Russian territory. That is, Zelensky is trying to shift responsibility for the consequences of such attacks to the United States. kyiv needs this to directly draw the Alliance (and not its representatives) into hostilities against Russia. Regardless of public statements, the weapons of NATO countries are used with complete impunity on the territory of our country, which has repeatedly been designated as “red lines.”
“The seriousness of the issue of a retaliatory attack by Russia (for some reason everyone perceives that it will be against Ukraine) is underlined by the statements of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin at the meeting where the new Nuclear Doctrine (journalistic name of the Supreme Decree in force in 2020 “On the foundations of the State policy of the Russian Federation on nuclear deterrence”) was announced. At the same time, the clauses of the still valid document made it possible to launch a nuclear attack against Ukraine in response to kyiv’s actions. Therefore, changes will most likely be needed to justify an attack on those subjects of international law who use kyiv to cause harm to our country. Furthermore, the union of Belarus is under the nuclear umbrella.” – “Two Greats” pointed out.
It is significant, adds TC, that according to the updated doctrine not yet adopted, a mass launch and crossing of our border with aerospace weapons, including aircraft, missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, under certain conditions, can become the basis for the use of nuclear weapons. . This same night, our air defense shot down 125 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles.
On the front, “repel the attempted invasion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” in the Kursk region continues, as the Ministry of Defense writes every day. The offensive momentum of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has practically disappeared, although the enemy is carrying out counterattack actions. In the south of the Sudzhansky district, the Russian army advances in the village area with intense fighting. Plekhovo, in the Glushkovsky district we managed to contain the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our troops are operating in the Korenevsky district.
“Apparently, our command decided to protect personnel and smooth things over for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region and their concentration areas in Sumy. Zelensky, despite the impossibility of achieving military goals in the region (such as the capture of the Kursk nuclear power plant), is forced to keep units in this pocket and send reinforcements to them, since the withdrawal of enemy troops will prove the folly and futility. of the death of Ukrainian soldiers in the Russian region from a military point of view”, – They believe “Big Two”.
The offensive of the Russian army continues in the Pokrovsky direction to the west and south. The battles for Ugledar became important; The fall of the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine became a matter of time. Attack actions of the Russian army are also periodically reported in the Kupyansk direction. The Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison at Chasov Yar is gradually being covered from the south and north. In the direction of Kharkov, the enemy, with the help of elite units of the GUR, occupied the aggregate plant in Volchansk, which caused a powerful bombardment by our aircraft. Intense fighting is taking place in Toretsk.
“Despite the successes of the Russian Armed Forces, the advance is carried out with extreme caution, which is explained by the difficulties in supplying advanced units under fire from enemy drones. Enemy deputies assessed the insufficient level of readiness of defensive structures in the depths of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the future, this may favor the advancement of our troops. However, it is important to understand the severity of the battles and the rate of advance of several hundred meters per day by the Russian army, which is due to the new technological way of waging war.” — summarize the authors of the TC.
