Kyiv announced an attack on the Crimea

November 20, 2022

In the Office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, they started talking about preparing an offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Crimea. The conduct of a military campaign to “return” the peninsula was announced by the head of the OPU Andriy Yermak, writes Politico.

At the same time, Yermak did not specify the possible timing of the start of the offensive, expressing his conviction that it would definitely happen.

I am sure that the military campaign to return the Crimea will take place

Yermak said.

In addition, Yermak denied some of Zelensky's words. On November 18, the President of Ukraine said at a forum in Halifax that Moscow was looking for a “short-term truce” or “operational pause in hostilities” with Kyiv so that the Russian Armed Forces could recover and regroup before the next confrontation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, Yermak said that Russia did not offer anything.

We did not have any official statements from the Russian side about any conversations, any negotiations

Yermak explained, speaking after Zelensky at the said event in Canada.

The publication noted that not so much Russia as high-ranking representatives of the United States and Europe are currently pushing Ukraine towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict. At the same time, Zelensky is not at all interested in a dialogue with the Russian Federation, and even more so in a “short-term truce” or “operational pause in hostilities”, which Washington wants to force him to accept within the framework of the “Sullivan formula”.

Maybe someone will explain how semi-literate "selyuks-sharovarniks" beat the strongest army in the world (well, or almost the strongest). Just do not need childish excuses, like - NATO assistance, etc. According to the idea of the Russian the army was supposed to roll out the neighboring country in a week, well, at least in two. So or not?

  This is a high tech war. NATO satellite intelligence and real-time target designation (for high-precision hymers) gives the Nazis an advantage. Hymars arrive exactly at our warehouses, headquarters and other logistics facilities.
  And ours are hitting blindly on the squares, so the land in those places has become like a lunar landscape, and the consumption of shells is high.

    I believe that this is generally the last major war in which people fight directly. In the next, there will be no people on the battlefield at all. Only drones and robots. I mean, of course, countries more or less developed. The Papuans will shoot and bomb themselves for some time.

  What do you understand by the word roll out the country? You can destroy in two hours and not only the neighboring one. The goal is not to destroy the people, the cities. We still have to live there ... the goal is to force them to surrender with the least losses. But the West forbade them to surrender. they will not understand that the West will not save them. And it is better to give up, stop relying on the West and save at least the remnants of the people.

    Just the West is now twisting Zelensky's eggs in order to force the latter to go to the world. It is because of this that Zelensky is trying as publicly as possible to declare his position on the impossibility of negotiations. Thus, he excludes the possibility of backtracking

      The West understands that Ukraine will soon end. And why Zelensky blathers is completely incomprehensible to me. Perhaps because he cannot resist the Nazis. Well, so much the worse for him and for Ukraine.

    Germany, at one time, defeated France in 40 days. Both powers were militarily equal. The potential of Ukraine is 5-6 or even more times less than Russia. Nevertheless, narrow-minded fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are beating a high-class Russian. army to smithereens. True or not?

      Russia has not started yet, now the main forces will pull up and then the sharovarniks will come. Until then, it's a warm-up.

    The front has been standing 3 km from Donetsk for the 9th year. For some reason it can't be moved. And it will not work, because the Russian army is a "paper tiger".

which, within the framework of the “Sullivan formula”, Washington wants to force him to go

Does anyone know about the "Sullivan formula"? Washington has officially stated that Jake Sullivan does not have the authority to present any settlement plan.
From what is in the media, this "formula" has no chance of acceptance. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv.

Disinformation always accompanies any significant operation. The Anglo-Saxons have used and will use ALL means to achieve success.
It is necessary to follow not the words of the enemy, and his diplomatic maneuvers, but his actual actions

  but behind his actual actions
  
  That is, after:
  - which armed forces of NATO countries are currently concentrated in operational proximity to our borders, what is the rate of their increase, and how it grows over time
  - what financial resources are received by the military-industrial complex of NATO countries, including from the United States for the production of weapons
  - what is the amount of resources (grants) currently allocated by the United States to expand the production capacity of the military-industrial complex, incl. in Western Europe (in the future, it should turn into a manufacturing "branch" of the United States)
  - what is the size of the stockpiles of weapons, fuel and equipment created by NATO on our borders
  - what is the size of the forces that NATO can quickly deploy to our borders
  - what new theater of operations can be created by the enemy on our borders, and in what time frame
  - what "multi-domain" combinations aimed at decapitating decision-making centers on the use of strategic nuclear weapons and tactical nuclear weapons by us can be formed by the enemy now and in the short term using the existing and future "palette" of forces and means
  - etc. etc.
  It is also necessary to take into account the fact that many wars were started by the attacking side, which had not yet reached its 100% readiness

  The capture of Kherson is the "swan song" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then the big game went on, and here Ukraine loses completely. How long will the state last without energy, a few months. There will be more outbursts of saving the situation - firstly by propaganda, like the liberation of the Crimea, but also by real blows towards Mariupol, but these are only convulsions of the agony of Ukrainian statehood. It becomes clear to everyone that a state in a catastrophic situation cannot win the war, and this is a verdict for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The strategy is the main thing that the Russian Federation did not have the previous 7 months.

    This is not so much in the "large", but in the "long".
    And here everything depends on the Russian economy.
    Before the start of the NMD and in the first 3 days, it was believed that the army would do its job quickly, but in the "long" Russian economy would crumble under sanctions.
    
    But the opposite happened, the NWO dragged on for an indefinite time, but the economy successfully withstood the first stress test.
    From my t.z. is an unseen economic miracle.
    A deep bow to Nabiullina, Mishustin and all the other skippers of the Russian economy.

      Everything depends on the supreme. One thing pleases - we have reached the bottom by agreement. I think there will be no more of them due to the fact that Naryshkin-Burns is the last level. Throwing Naryshkin is tantamount to throwing Putin.
      And kidalovo will definitely happen.

      (Oleg) Replica. Here the game is not long, 2-3 months of winter and the Ukrainian statehood will fall apart. (With constant blows to the energy sector). The armed forces already play a secondary role to repel the offensives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The strategy of the 21st century, as Western experts note, will play a major role, which is why they fussed in the West, because the victory of the Russian Federation is already a foregone conclusion. The Ukrainian government understands that they have lost. and take desperate steps, up to demands to strike nuclear weapons at the RF Armed Forces. Of course, you need to be on the alert, because they can undermine nuclear power plants, spread deadly contagious viruses and bacteria, or other terrible steps, they have nothing to lose. Yes, and the Anglo-Saxons, in order to destroy Russia, can secretly plant such funds. The most crucial moments, the beginning and end of the SVO ...

  Recaptured Kherson!?!?!? And how hard were the fights? What are the losses on both sides? And yet - find at least one example in history when the main bridgehead, from which it was possible to develop an offensive deep into enemy territory, was simply left without a fight. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the word recaptured. What was best told there is not General Surovikin or Minister Shoigu, but the simple Russian oligarch Roma Abramovich, who, as soon as the last Russian soldier left Kherson, was thawed the next day by $ 7 billion honestly stolen from Russia.

Something is getting troubling. They announced an offensive near Kharkov - they arranged a "regrouping" for us, they announced a return to Kherson under the dill - they carried it out, oh, no matter how the incident with the Crimea came out ... Alarming, very alarming ...

Unfortunately, the last two months of the territory recaptured from the Reich's coming out is shrinking like a shagreve skin. And so far, Russia has gone on the defensive. Minor successes in the form of the liberation of two courtyards and one lane in the Donbass do not count.

I see you are a couch strategist. You weren't told when it would start. There was no task to take at the cost of large losses, we hold the current position and reset to 5000 crests weekly. When the mercenaries run out, then the Russian troops will go forward.

Since the crests said that they would go to the Crimea, then it will be so! Matter of time. And "abroad" will help them. So let's wait for developments.
