The Russian army takes Kherson and advances on Nikolaev, shooting is heard in Odessa

February 25 2022

On the evening of February 25, a communique to the inhabitants of the region appeared on the Facebook account of the Kherson Regional State Administration on behalf of the "governor" Gennady Laguta. The document says that after fierce fighting on the outskirts of Kherson, despite the desperate efforts of the Ukrainian army, control over the crossing to the regional center was lost.

The enemy with significant forces and with heavy losses overcame the defenses of the city

- says the publication.

Residents were urged not to panic and remain calm, assuring that the region's leadership is making every effort to maintain law and order and save people's lives.

The situation remains tense, but we promise to do everything possible to normalize it

- stated in the document.

Residents were told that the situation is being monitored, and all important information will be promptly communicated to them through the official media.

The Russian army takes Kherson and advances on Nikolaev, shooting is heard in Odessa

Around this time, an unbiased video camera recorded an incredible "Z-stream" on a public road. Moreover, Russian armored vehicles demonstrated courtesy towards other road users on the roadway.

In addition, eyewitnesses recorded the fatal defeat of a huge column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Kherson.

At the time of writing, Russian troops are advancing towards the city of shipbuilders - Nikolaev. At the same time, residents of Odessa inform about the shooting that has begun.

Russia has a lot of experience in taking cities. I do not think that we have a hatred mood in the General Staff. And they understand that it is not possible to storm the cities with troops. If there is strong resistance, they must be bypassed and blocked. Then they will give up. Little is said about the use of UAVs by the Russian troops, but I hope they still exist.
..Do not be America's mistress, never in Ukraine!

On the last video in the article, "At the same time, residents of Odessa inform about the shooting that has begun."

It looks like the Armed Forces of Ukraine are using MLRS from the urban area of Odessa.

  UAV Orion only six units for all military districts. Otherwise, the operators would have sent them there. UAVs Scalpel exist in the former SAR, and on the Army forum.

  The Russian Armed Forces are increasingly using laser-guided high-precision artillery ammunition. According to the Polish resource Defense24, these are not only shells for Krasnopol type howitzers (152 or 155 mm), which were used many times in combat operations, but also Gran 'ammunition (120 mm), which are increasingly used in troops of Russia.
  Firing projectiles, the correction of which is carried out by aerodynamic rudders at the end of the flight at the laser mark on the target, can seriously affect the course of hostilities. This, in particular, was shown by the events in Syria in 2017, when Krasnopol was very effective in destroying enemy mortar positions and other targets.
  
  Krasnopol and Gran are not visible in the battle for the outskirts of Odessa.

Neither Kherson take nor Odessa even more so. There is no strategic thought or forces. no funds. Everything will end with photographs with road signs "To Kiev 25 km", etc.
There is nothing. No UAV. no aviation, helicopters, electronic warfare. There is no counter-battery fight either. In the Donbass, the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are generally untied - they are hitting Donetsk with all trunks.
Another Kremlin zilch. It will be remembered only by the depreciation of the ruble three times. the rise in prices for everything and the "cohesion of the nation".
The shame is complete!

  If only new products were on the Army forum. There is no artillery preparation for many hours on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. Shells cost money. Iskander volleys are not visible. Su-34 bombing strikes are not visible.

    Military logic is not visible.
    War is made to win. Victory is not the seizure of territories, and not the total destruction of enemy soldiers. This is the formation of policy after victory. Forced peace or vassalage.
    What is the purpose of this war? Nobody can articulate.
    Let's leave the official thesis about "denazification" for the ingenuous.
    Ukraine fought with Russia? No.
    Ukraine severed relations with Russia? Yes. But with such methods, Russia forced even its most staunch supporters to bite their tongues. Was it necessary to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO? So they weren't taken there anyway. WEIGHT? Same. To reconcile LDNR with Kiev? This could be achieved by banal negotiations.
    
    And in a week we will take Kyiv - and what's next? Keep 100000 corps of security forces and the Russian Guard? To put some kind of person involved like Pshonka or Tsarev, against the background of which even Yanukovych looks like a genius?
    How are we going to get out of this trap? Oh, it's too early for Uncle Joe to have dementia ...

Explain why take Odessa now?
There is nothing, if you want it so, so be it. Let's see what will happen next, and while there was no Ukrainian aviation before, now the last units are gone. I just don’t understand why the pilot hijacked an obsolete plane to Romania. Offhand, only one option comes to mind, so quickly get to Romania.

The RF Armed Forces actually have an extremely difficult task - to defeat a sufficiently powerful and trained army, which has extensive combat experience, while not crushing it to smithereens, but on the contrary, trying to make it clear to the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that they are fighting not for Ukraine, but for puppet government and nationalists, that is, win by persuasion. The harsh defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will only give rise to hatred and a thirst for revenge. As the Armed Forces themselves see, their government has shown its essence - calls for civilians to attack Russian tanks! What sane government would instruct its citizens to attack enemy armored vehicles? After all, there are people who will hear this call (not from a great mind or hypersensitivity to propaganda) and will actually go with bottles of gasoline to the tanks and die there. Such appeals are criminal, Zelensky finally proved how much he does not care about the lives of Ukrainians.

The West does not give a damn about the lives of Ukrainians, which, knowing that many Ukrainians see civilized societies in the West, incites Ukrainians to resist, counting on heavy losses among civilians, in order to have a reason to accuse Russia. The West is directly shoving Ukrainians into the fire, telling them "You are great, steadfast defenders of the motherland, you beat the aggressor well, we are rooting for you, show what Ukrainians are capable of!" At the same time, there is only one goal - so that as many civilians as possible die, because the West needs pictures of dead bodies in order to explain to its citizens what is the reason for their deplorable financial condition, rising prices, etc. in the terrible aggression of Russia, look at the pictures, so bear with the prices.

There is an impression that there are few successes of the RF Armed Forces, we see few pictures of the defeat of the enemy. We hear few victorious statements that they surrounded here, cut off there. This makes sense - to brag about successes, only to strengthen the will of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to fight further. Ukrainians, like us, cannot be intimidated; on the contrary, the worse the situation, the greater the resolve. In this sense, this operation is certainly unique, to win not with weapons, but with meaning.

  Only fear will force NATO to roll back to the borders of 1997. Therefore, if you come to war, you must fight. Nazis generally do not need to be taken prisoner!

Oleksandr Zhuchkovsky, the coordinator of humanitarian aid to the militia and the transfer of volunteers from the very first days of the Russian Uprising in southeastern Ukraine, the author of the chronicle book "85 Days of Slavyansk" and the book "Brain" - on February 25 announced the date of the second phase of the Russian special operation in Ukraine and about her character.

“Tomorrow (26.02) the second phase of the operation will begin. Polite people will become tougher,” one polite person writes to me.

Actually, the layout is simple.

Ukrainians were given eight years to somehow rethink reality. But they mistook our Christian patience for weakness and continued to spit in our faces. People didn't understand.

The Ukrainians were given two days. There were naive but honest hopes for some semblance of the Crimean scenario. The Russian army went into action with limited and targeted use of weapons - with the intention of clearing stoned heads and giving a chance for a relatively bloodless solution to the conflict.

That is, as it is fashionable to say now, “Russia has not even started yet.” The next stage of exhortation and admonition ended in nothing. People again did not understand anything and continue to clown around.

The second stage is already a full-fledged war with the use of the entire range of weapons and without Russian Orthodox humanism in relation to "warriors of light, warriors of good."

I hope my “polite person” is right, and tomorrow this crazy Ukrainian caliphate will finally be bombarded and covered in blood.

Time is over".

where is the repeatedly promised uprising of normal Ukrainians? where are the repeatedly promised sleeping resistance cells that will join the fight against the Nazis? where are the repeatedly promised separate parts of the Armed Forces that will turn their weapons against the national battalions? there is nothing! vsu surrenders in captivity to devour. the population meets Russia either with indifference or with hidden malice. The nature of Ukrainians took up again ...

  Why didn’t they bombard the 53rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is still shelling civilian LDNR, with ammunition from the Iskander complex? Where are the continuous round-the-clock air strikes of the Su-34 on the positions of the 53rd brigade? After all, the air defense was suppressed, judging by the reports of Major General Konashenkov.

it is only the first stage, the initial stage.
what will happen next? but nothing.
people do not meet the liberators? and the thing is that there are neither especially people, nor especially liberators.
and further for the majority it will be as it was: work-home-TV. familiar world.
and in parallel, a gradual transformation: catching and eradicating the Natsiks, forming a new management vertical, etc. etc.

About the lives of Russians, no one knows what would have happened if Russia had endured further. But it is clear that Ukraine, the United States and the World Bank would not have calmed down and the war would have happened in 2023,2024,2025 and no one knows how many losses there would be, more or less than now.
To make it clear to you. Let's take the difficult choice Yanukovych faced at the end of January 2014. Shed blood and restore order in Kyiv or leave. It seemed that he chose the most peaceful, to leave in a few months, after extraordinary re-elections. We know well what came of this - more than 10000 people have been killed since that moment. And now imagine, figuratively speaking, in January 2014 he personally takes a machine gun and shoots the main Maidan activists at night, let there be 500 people. At the same time, 9500 people remain alive as a result, the economy is not destroyed, there is no drop in the standard of living of Ukrainians, due to the preservation of trade with Russia, the standard of living is even growing. So did Yanukovych make the right choice?

The process has begun! The doctor said to the morgue, then to the morgue !!!! As for me, the one who captures Ukraine or removes this Nazi power, it doesn’t matter to me !!!! It will be Russians or Portoricans worse than they are, it won’t be for sure !!! If there is a choice, then Russians are better. Crimea is an example of everything !!!!
