t.me/strelkovii/2531 To all my comrades-in-arms, friends, and subscribers, my sincere congratulations on Victory Day! Yes, I think the current large-scale celebrations are not very appropriate in the current military and political situation when resources should be primarily directed to the active army. But at least once a year we should remember the immeasurable heroism and sacrifice of our ancestors. Not for them - they received their reward from the Lord, but for us, for posterity. Happy Holidays to all!
In general, there is not much I can add to the information published by other bloggers who enjoy my trust (for example, Roman "Donetskiy"). Except that I received most of the information a few days ago, but had to wait for it to appear online without any of my involvement, and some of it I cannot publish even now (for obvious reasons).
Kharkov Front: The retreat of heavily armed LNR units and Rosgvardia units, manned by poorly armed reservists, to new positions much farther away from Kharkiv than before, has been completed. In some places, the retreat occurred without direct influence from the enemy, in other places as a result of direct pressure on the extremely under-armed, very small, and completely untrained/inexperienced units of the "allies. In the "liberated" settlements (e.g. Stary Saltov), reprisals began against local officials and activists who had the courage to cooperate with the Russian military authorities and did not have enough time or opportunity to retreat with them. Positional fighting currently continues in the Kharkov area.
South of Izyum - in the past few days the situation has not changed in principle. Our troops failed to break through the AFU front and reach at least the Barvenkovo-Slaviansk highway. Fighting continues.
The Severodonetsk-Popasnaya area. As a result of the completion of weeks of fighting for Popasna (taken by joint efforts of the Vagner PMC and LNR assault units, without any (except media) real participation of the "Kadyrovites"), there is a direct probability of reaching the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk junction from the south. To all appearances, the enemy command is ready for this and intends to leave part of the existing grouping there as a garrison for another "fortress," expecting to tie up the assaulting forces for several weeks (one to three or more) with persistent street battles, just as it happened in Volnovakha. In any case, there will be no breakthrough of the AFU front - the enemy has enough formations and manpower to cover the reduced section of the front once the encirclement becomes a reality. The possibility of leaving Severodonetsk and Lysychansk without the "fortress" scenario also exists, but personally I find it unlikely.
The Avdeevka area - no significant changes. There is anecdotal evidence that as a result of the ill-considered replacement of fired-up DNR cadre units with reserve units, which have not yet been in combat, the enemy reoccupied the entire part of Marinka that had been taken from it earlier. Which, however (if true), does not have any serious significance, except purely tactical.
Fighting continues near Ugledar with no significant changes in anyone's favor.

A similar situation is taking place near Gulyai-Pole and Zaporizhzhya, as well as near Kryvyi Rih and Mykolaiv.
As for the situation around Snake Island. It appears to me (on the basis of available data) as follows: After the demonstration of the enemy means of its anti-ship defense (complexes of anti-ship missiles, unmanned strike and reconnaissance aircraft, coordinated means of air and satellite surveillance of NATO) - the question of holding the island without further active offensive operations in the Odessa-Izmail area makes no sense. With purely defensive actions there was a threat of the rapid complete isolation of the garrison and its further elimination on the model of the previous one, the "Ukrainian". Moreover - the defense of the island in close proximity to the shores equipped with enemy anti-ship means inevitably led to further high losses of the remaining naval and air forces of the BSF (for example, the frigate "Admiral Makarov" was attacked by "bairaktar" - without visible consequences). In this connection, a reasonable decision was made to evacuate the garrison, which was not without losses (a Mi-8 helicopter and two amphibious boats of 61-ton displacement).
Leo Price
>stop sending them weapons, funds, and supplies
Bet they'll agree to most of that, but I also bet they're still going to recognize the PKK's claims as valid.
Noah White
Many such cases Oh wait there's actually very few of them since no one buys this deadass currency
At the same time, apparently, the command of the Black Sea Fleet and the Russian troops managed to "catch" the enemy during their own attempt to occupy the island (important primarily from a propaganda point of view). According to the available data, the landing operation by the AFU completely failed with heavy losses. According to various sources, the AFU lost one SU-27, one to three Su-24 attack aircraft, one to three Mi-8 transport and one Mi-24 attack helicopter, two to four "bayaktars" and several amphibious assault boats. In the course of combat operations, several batteries of the Air Defense Forces were also hit, one battery was completely destroyed, and up to 8 Pechora air defense systems were broken and put out of action. Total losses of the enemy were 78 people officially killed and several dozen more "missing in action". There is an unverified information that a significant portion of the dead and "missing" (i.e. drowned) are accounted for by the as yet unidentified foreign PMC. At present, Snake Island does not appear to be garrisoned by any of the warring parties.
As for the situation in Transnistria, I have no up-to-date data.

The first paradigm change : killing the dominant male 18When the PKK was established as a political party, women were already present. Though other liberation movements mobilized women too, the PKK started to take gender relations as a key issue in its analyses, challenging patriarchal relations, both in society generally as well as within the party itself. Gender inequalities were not seen as a side issue to the revolution, but as a key challenge (Tax 2016). In the course of the 1980s, and particularly in the 1990s, the theme of gender-inequality started to become a main ideological theme in Öcalan’s work. This may be referred to as the first paradigm change within the movement. The history of civilization was represented as a history of the enslavement of women, analyzed as an ideological or cultural slavery, political slavery, and economic slavery. This history of the enslavement of women was also the history of the “dominant male” and regarded as the foundation of state-formation and economic exploitation. A struggle for equality, freedom, democracy and socialism, therefore, required a thorough analysis of the ways in which gender hierarchies have been created and institutionalized in the spheres of culture, politics, and economics (Öcalan 2013 : 9‑11).
That is, seven years of "no alternative to the Minsk agreements" which our "best foreign minister in the whole history of Russia" (c) wasted in vain after all. Well, okay... "Well, I couldn't do it! I couldn't do it!" - as Goldfish said in the famous joke... - It happens! Forget it!
But personally I have long been gnawing at another question: "Is it only the West that wants a military defeat for Russia?" Or is there a very, very influential group of people in power in Russia (Russian Federation) itself, which not only "wants", but actively contributes to an early defeat?
Because I don't really have a good idea: HOW is the Russian Federation going to militarily oppose the entire West without introducing Martial Law (and, accordingly, without mobilization)? Meanwhile, another "luminary" of our public "political Olympus" - Purgonosets - states precisely this "with the naked eye" to the entire population of our state. Moreover - with direct reference to the president!
Yes, but most of the French & Latin terms that entered English have Germanic synonyms in German and Dutch (or we don't use a Roman root at all) whereas they're either no longer used in English or never existed.
Jackson Cook
They will not. They will not directly attack russian territories out of fear of nuclear attack. Go to the frontline, we want more vatniks dying.
Putin has no plans to introduce martial law in Russia because of the special operation in Ukraine
(kp.ru/online/news/4741388) Although maybe - I don't know something? Maybe it is possible to win this war (still bashfully referred to as "SWO"), not only without carrying out elementary and generally accepted military-administrative actions, but also by following the immortal slogan of L.D. Bronstein (Trotsky): "No peace, no war, and dissolve the army!"? Huh?
However, so far the situation is such that near Kharkov our troops and "allies" from the MN LNR have already rolled back closer than 10 km from the Russian border, and near Izyum (and not only) - no significant advances.
On the channels of the "government patriots" - celebrating the "great peremoga": "Kherson is ours!" Well, like someone (albeit not the most important, but vested with some authority within the "provisional civil-military administration") declared that Kherson oblast will definitely be annexed to the Russian Federation.
No, as for me - I fully support it. - I support the aspiration for annexation. However I am not happy about it. Because I am a historian by education. And I remember/understand very well that one can rejoice about territorial gains only when the enemy (from whom those territories were taken away) is completely defeated, capitulated, or agrees to peace on our terms. So far this has not happened - we can only welcome the intentions (preferably, designated by someone higher than the deputy head of the region, but it "will do", though).
The Challenges of a Kurdish Ecofeminist Perspective: Maria Mies, Abdullah Öcalan, and the Praxis of Jineolojî
ABSTRACT Ecology, along with women’s liberation and radical democracy, is one of the major pillars of Democratic Confederalism, a new political paradigm developed by the Kurdish Freedom Movement through the voice of the PKK’s leader, Abdullah Öcalan. Scholars attribute the greening of the Kurdish agenda to the impact that the founder of Social Ecology, Murray Bookchin, had on Öcalan’s ideology. Without denying the veracity of this argument, the following article analyzes the influence that Maria Mies, a pioneer of socialist ecofeminism, had on the philosophical elaboration of Öcalan. Examining the theses exposed in his prison writings with the most relevant aspects of Mies’ thought, this article shows the limits, challenges, and strategic use of the Kurdish ecofeminist perspective. This approach provides an original understanding of the emancipatory horizon opened up by Democratic Confederalism and particularly by Jineolojî, the “science of women and life,” spearheaded by the Kurdish Women’s Movement since 2011.
For example, in January, 1758 the city of Konigsberg - the capital of East Prussia - was occupied by the Russian armies during the Seven-year War and not only "de facto", but also (partially) "de jure" was part of the Russian Empire, as (without waiting for the end of the war), Empress Elizaveta Petrovna ordered to bring the entire population under oath. What the population with full and complete willingness immediately did. The town had been under Russian control for four years - until August 1762, when the Emperor Peter the Third returned it to the King Friedrich "for nothing, as a sign of deep respect and affection". And the townspeople had to "re-open" to Friedrich for the second time.
Therefore we can rejoice about reunification with Russia, not only of Kherson, or even Donetsk and Lugansk, but also Sevastopol and Simferopol, for good, only when the so-called "Ukraine" either capitulates, or (an undesirable version) with its remains (localized somewhere in Eastern Poland, preferably over the Bug) permanent peace is concluded. For now, this bright event is not only very far away, but with each passing day it is getting farther and farther away...

You go to any western broker they’ll tell you they’re not allowed to do it because of sanctions, and if you ask more questions they’ll tell you not to do it because it’s unstable as fuck and only being propped up by a few things: >Ruble is currently directly tied to Gazprom stock value >Gazprom getting bailed out by Russia selling gold to inflate stock value >Continued oil purchases from the EU Opposition to that is a plan to completely cut off from Russian Gazprom over the next ten years. Current expectation: downward spiral to 0 over the next decade.
Translated part of a testimony of a Russian who joined the army at the beginning of April as a contractor: justpaste dot it/2d3xy
>On 3 April I arrived at the 3rd Motorised Rifle Vislenskaya Red Banner Division, orders of Suvorov and Kutuzov - into the 752th motorised regiment (unit 34670) to a position of a rifleman/assistant grenade launcher. I signed a contract for half a year. >In the order by the commander of the Western military district regarding sending me into a unit it was indicated that I was meant to be sent to accelerated survival training courses. They were meant to last two weeks. >In reality - this all turned out to be a lie. None of us (22 people) were taught anything. We were not even allowed to try our weapons. On 6 April we were already meant to be sent to Ukraine to Izyum town, but the dispatch was delayed twice, and in the end we left to Ukraine on 9 April in the morning. >when I received my machine gun in the afternoon of 6 April, being sure that on the 7th we could already end up in Ukraine, I asked the duty officer who was issuing machine guns to us - ‘where is the single fire mode?’. This is the training that I’ve had. >Our equipment was not the best - we were not given sleeping bags or ammo pouches.
The evacuation of the village of Solokhi in the Belgorod region after shelling and casualties among the local civilian population is further evidence that the second stage of the Special Military Operation is "as concrete as it gets. I wonder how far (and how fast) the "Special War Zone" will expand eastwards by the third stage? - I shudder to imagine...
P.S. Does anyone remember that a few weeks ago I wrote on this page that it was time to create a local militia in the Kursk and Belgorod regions? Naturally, it is not being created and there are no plans to create one. And it is not just time, but soon the "question will be raised as a matter of urgency" - following the daily arrival of shells, the Ukro-RRGs will be massed on Russian territory. And there are no fence/extermination detachments from the local population. Well, well
"No change on the western front." - True for most of the front line.
Certain well-known moments:
According to unverified information, the enemy in the area of Ternovka (Kharkiv region) came directly to the state border of the Russian Federation. Apparently, the settlement itself is also occupied by the enemy.
In the area south of Kremenna (LNR), the Russian troops' forcing of the Seversky Donets and their breakthrough towards the grouping operating from Popasna failed. The town of Liman (which Podolyaka has been "about to take" for three or four weeks, or even more) is still firmly in enemy hands.

Weirdly only Russian sources have claimed that Ukranians crossed there some days ago, Nothing from Ukranian sources and maps haven't shown any changes so it is safe to say nothing happend there, The bridge was destroyed as the Russians retreated at Stary saltiv.

>It should be noted that we were all put into infantry, despite the fact that two were meant to be in reconnaissance. >Yet everyone was shoved in to be riflemen and machine gunners, and also grenade launchers at the frontline in motorised companies. Thus, on 10 April, myself and 4 more people ended up in the first company of the 752th regiment located on the defence in shrubbery at altitude 200 to the south of Kamenka village. >In the company (if it can be called a company) there were 8 people together with company’s starshina who never went into assaults. After we joined, the company consisted of 13 people. >Once I even fired single rounds at another shrub which stood perpendicularly to us. A week prior to that, positions of our company were attacked through this shrubbery (we, contractors-volunteers were not there yet at that point) by Ukrainian VDV company. Around 100-120 people. They were utterly defeated. As I understand, one part retreated and took with them almost all wounded. Around 40-50 dead bodies remained in that forest. Only one was wounded, in the buttock. He was delivered to division headquarters. No one abused or beat him. >In the morning in Brazhovka village our company received 13 more volunteers. They just arrived from Russia. To be honest, I was stunned by this - how is it possible?! The people are immediately sent into an attack?!
Alexander Barnes
Holding an alliance hostage at a crucial time over a minor issue is slimy in the extreme. I like it.
Jason Reyes
>One moment was indicative - our starshina (who never went into attacks himself) gave one of the PKM machine guns to one guy. I asked the guy - ‘did the round go in to the barrel?’. I personally did not know how to insert the machine gun belt in. I just knew how to take it off the safety and shoot. The guy said he had no idea and that they told him in his unit (in Valuyki) that he would be a driver. I called our starshina. He tried to send the round into the barrel but failed. The machine gun jammed. Then our senior praporshik came, who fought in Chechnya. It took him two minutes to load the machine gun. He did it. That’s how this attack was prepared.
>n addition to the PKK, political parties such as the PJAK (Partiya Jiyana Azad a Kurdistanê - The Free Life Party of Kurdistan, in Kurdish) are active in Iran and the PYD (Partiya Yekiti a Demokratik - Democratic Union Party, in Kurdish) active in Syria, as well as civil society organizations.[13] In Iraq the party is called the PÇDK (Partiya Çaresera Demokratik Kurdistan - Kurdistan Democratic Solution Party, in Kurdish).[9]
>In May 2007, at the 5th Congress in Qandil attended by 213 members representing the Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Syria, Iraq and abroad, the KKK's name was changed to the KCK. The KCK was envisaged as an umbrella organization covering the Kurds of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria, as opposed to the Turkey-focused organization of the KKK.[13]
The situation on the southwestern outskirts of Donetsk in Marinka is unclear (to me). Official sources claim that part of the village is still in the hands of the DNR Armed Forces and fighting continues in the area of the heap. Unofficial sources report that (as I have already written) the village is allegedly under full control of the AFU again (occupied by the Ukrainians as a result of poorly organized reshuffling of DNR units) and now - not daring to report this to "above" - the command is urgently mobilizing forces to recapture previously taken (with great blood) positions.
There is no progress of Russian troops in the area south of Izyum and in the "counter-offensive direction" near Gulyai-Polye.

He made a mistake in the long run. He'll probably get some small concessions like deportation of few people and condemnation but in the long term everyone will remember that Turkey is untrustworthy and will work against it.

I love how you hohols ignore those fine examples of Western culture. This is what you are fighting for. Example taken from r/lgbt with 900k members. No Russians there.
t.me/strelkovii/2545 As an answer to the question, "Was I aware of the terrible pogrom on the Seversky Donets? - I answer: yes, it was. Four days ago. I reported it very briefly and without any details in my report of May 9: "failure to cross Seversky Donets south of Kremenny". I decided then to refuse detailed coverage of the event for the same reasons that I did not write about many other "shattering heights of the art of leadership of the Army of the Russian Federation" about which I know. But I could not fully imagine the scale of the losses incurred at that time and believed them to be half or even three times less. Do I now know something in addition to what bloggers have stated? - Yes, I know, including the irretrievable losses in men (including the senior command staff). But I am not planning to announce it.
Yes, I learned about the massacre (or rather, about the first stage of the massacre) on Seversky Donets by May 8 at the latest. But on my page I wrote about it, indeed, only on May 12. Perhaps earlier I voiced this situation publicly (without details) somewhere else (on "Radio Podmoskovia", for example) and absolutely definitely in personal correspondence.
