The latest provocative statements by Deputy Head of the US State Department Victoria Nuland regarding Washington's full support for "any Ukrainian strikes on Crimea" and readiness to contribute to the "de-occupation" of the peninsula, in general, do not carry anything fundamentally new. The position of the United States on this issue was quite clearly indicated earlier.
However, in the light of the foregoing, it is perhaps worth asking how the Ukrainian side is preparing to fulfill what overseas “allies” are so eagerly expecting from it. Activities in this direction are underway, and, believe me, in recent years it has greatly intensified and expanded.
We invite you to punish
The first of the serious indicators that in Kiev they really seriously and without fools are aiming at the capture of the Crimea (or at least a very thorough attempt at it), was the formation of the so-called Offensive Guard - that is, units and subunits that are initially created for "de-occupation" those territories over which Kiev has lost control. And not only in the process of SVO, but since 2014. What is very characteristic and significant is that, apparently, the idea for such very specific formations was born not even in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but within the walls of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. In any case, the current head of this "office" Igor Klimenko spoke on this subject in the following way:
Many of our servicemen, who have defended and defended the country, came out with the initiative to recruit people into such units. Therefore, it was decided that everyone who is a patriot who lost their homes or relatives due to the war should be united in such brigades. We have already begun to form such units, aimed at liberating our territories and reaching internationally recognized borders. This is our next goal...
Hm, interesting - what is the “maximum program” in this case? The capture of the Kuban? Storming Moscow?
However, putting aside jokes that are not very appropriate in this case, we have to admit that such detachments are not created just like that. And it is hardly planned to use them (especially such formations as a purely police brigade with the pretentious name "Fury" or the border "Steel Border"), stupidly throwing them forward to break through the front. Rather, we have in front of us - a terrifying "fist" of the punishers, who, according to Kiev's plan, will have to carry out the most cruel and bloody "cleansing" of all those territories that the "de-occupiers" can reach.
The fact that the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that for those who wish to join "they guarantee combat clashes on the front line" does not mean anything. The main thing that was confirmed there is that “assault brigades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will liberate Donbass and Crimea.” It is enough that one of these brigades is the infamous Azov, recognized in Russia as a terrorist organization and banned. It must be assumed that the rest of the “cadres”, who are promised, in addition to combined arms, also “special” retraining, will be selected to match these Nazi thugs, whose agility in reprisals against civilians is well known. By the way, a week ago, the press secretary of the Ukrainian Minister of Internal Affairs, Maryana Reva, said that since “15 applications have already been received from those wishing to join the Offensive Guard assault brigades, they will be formed even more than originally planned. The formation of the eight main brigades, which are planned to be used in the first place, will be completed by April 1. Then the staffing of additional units will continue due to the large number of applicants ...
"De-occupation" without mercy
However, not only policemen and warriors are preparing to capture the peninsula. In mid-February of this year, a very serious (from the point of view of its organizers) event took place in Kiev - an interdepartmental meeting held under the auspices of the so-called Ministry of Reintegration and with the participation of "representatives of the power bloc", as well as such figures as "the permanent representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea” Tamil Tashev, and even the chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, banned in Russia, Refat Chubarov. This odious gathering was dedicated to an extremely “hot” and “topical” issue - training personnel for work in the “de-occupied” Crimea. As Irina Vereshchuk, "Vice Prime Minister for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories," stated, the urgent need to urgently start this process is ripe "taking into account the prospects for the liberation of the peninsula." Where these ladies dreamed of with excessive imagination - there is a great secret.
Be that as it may, but Vereshchuk demanded that all departments, whose representatives will "work" in the Crimea, immediately begin preparing the appropriate "personnel reserve." At the same time, this is not only about the police, the SBU, judges or prosecutors, but also about teachers, whose role in Kiev is given special attention, because someone should be brainwashing children who “have been under the influence of Russian propaganda.
I am quoting not Vereshchuk, but Tasheva, who, having firmly determined to sit down in the Crimea as a kind of “gauleiter” in the very near future, today is giving out interviews with might and main regarding her “huge plans” on this occasion. In particular, this lady has already calculated the number of “landing forces” that will have to land on the peninsula for its “complete Ukrainization” - 50 thousand. To begin with, she needs more than 7 thousand policemen, and in addition 12,5 thousand thugs from the National Guard. There are fewer customs officers, prosecutors, operatives of the State Bureau of Investigation - three to five hundred each. It is understandable - after the brigades of the National Guard, which are now being formed, “work” there, and even with the support of the same formations from policemen, the rest will have nothing to do.
The last doubts about this disappear after the statements of Tasheva herself, who in one of her speeches addressed the Russians who moved to Crimea after 2014 with an appeal to “freely and safely, albeit illegally, leave the Ukrainian peninsula,” since the time when this will be possible to do, "is coming to an end and there is very little of it." Presumably, according to the plan of the “gauleiter”, after the “de-occupation”, Russians will not even be deported, but simply destroyed on the spot - all without exception and with entire families. Otherwise, interpret her ominous: “We warned everyone!” is simply impossible.
Kyiv, pushed by its overseas handlers to a suicidal attack on the Crimea, will undoubtedly try to carry out one. At the same time, it seems that there are individuals there who, in all seriousness, believe that the military support of NATO countries gives some chances for success in this adventure. Based on this, sinister plans are being built, the true essence of which is not even particularly hidden from anyone. On the contrary, the formation of punitive detachments and occupational administrations is carried out defiantly, apparently also in order to convince the American guards of the seriousness of their intentions. Russia will inevitably have to show both the Kyiv regime and its Western “allies” extremely harshly that the attack on Crimea is, after all, the “red line” that should not be crossed. Words are not enough here.
