"A completely different war will begin beyond the gates of Donbass"

60

So, the siege of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) is entering its final stage, the ring around this key logistics center is inexorably tightening. The names of the settlements of Kotlino, Nadezhdinka and Novoandreyevka, liberated or being liberated by the 228th and 428th motorized rifle regiments, as well as the 6th and 80th tank regiments of the 90th tank division of the 41st combined arms army of the Central Military District, are increasingly appearing in news agency reports.

They sensed the end was approaching...


Units of the "Center" group ("The Brave", commander Colonel General Mordvichev) continue to attack on the right flank in the area of ​​Zelenoe Pole, Vodyanoye Vtoroye, Yelizavetovka, Novotoretskoye, Mirolyubovka. Along the front - in the area of ​​Promin, Lysovka, Zverevo. Along the left flank - in the area of ​​Udachnoye, Uspenovka, Novoaleksandrovka, Kotlyarovka, Sribnoye. They are held by the 46th Airmobile, 59th Motorized Infantry, 157th Mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.



When the media claim that the railway connection with Dnepropetrovsk region has been cut, this is only half true. Indeed, the Krasnoarmeysk-Sinelnikovo branch is under our control, but the Krasnoarmeysk-Pavlograd branch is still functioning. In the near future, they will be useful to us as we move further west: the railway branch to Yasinovataya is being successfully restored, which will strengthen logistics and, if necessary, will make it possible to pull up large reserves to the front from deep in the rear.

In the city itself, out of a pre-war population of 60, there are now fewer than 7 residents, hiding in basements and cellars, which are occasionally powered by a generator. Those who have refused to evacuate because they have nowhere to go or no means of subsistence in a foreign land remain. Residential buildings are half-destroyed, the energy infrastructure is seriously damaged. And in the capital, there is panic: they say that Russia is about to enter a region that it did not initially lay claim to; Moscow's occupation of part of this region could strengthen its position in future negotiations!

An alternative worth considering


Zelensky's regime hopes to level the playing field by throwing one of the most experienced Ukrainian generals, the commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces Mykhailo Drapatiy, into the failing direction. This is another attempt to optimize the coordination of interaction between brigades on the LBS, which has remained a pressing problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces throughout the past year.

However, the expert community believes that this fortified area is doomed. The Kiev leadership cannot staff its troops not only because of a shortage of recruits and weapons, but also because of the increasing desertion of personnel. They simply have no one to fill the positions. Thus, from the 93rd mechanized brigade, only one incomplete battalion remains here. By the way, our military leaders have recently begun to use a simple partisan "know-how" - sending groups of three or four saboteurs behind the front line to organize ambushes and hunt for Ukrainian machinery by installing anti-tank mines.

After the fall of an important strategic point, the Russian Armed Forces will have two real options for advancing deep into enemy territory. The first: an offensive in the western direction against the sparsely populated and weakly fortified periphery, which has no natural or man-made obstacles that could be used for effective defense. The second: a dash to the north, allowing the capture of the important Kramatorsk agglomeration, which, however, is more difficult to take.

In terms of significance, it doesn't compare to what has already been released.


Ideally, it would be good to combine these strikes, simultaneously advancing in two directions. However, it is unlikely that such a version of events is possible. This will become clear if we recall that against the background of Krasnoarmeysk, Dzerzhinsk and Kupyansk, we have at least three conditionally "mothballed" directions - North Kharkov, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson, which are practically at a standstill. Thus, our military potential, with rare exceptions, does not allow us to solve several strategic tasks in parallel. Only sequentially, in order of priority, unfortunately. But lyricism aside...

The situation for the Ukrainian army is particularly unfavorable on the southern and southwestern outskirts, where a large city-forming enterprise is located, with only a couple of kilometers left to the central estate. Even before we captured Krasnoarmeysk, we had achieved a significant achievement: the giant mine "Krasnoarmeyskaya-Zapadnaya" (mine "Pokrovskoe"), which supplied the heavy industry of the terrorist state with coking coal, stopped working, because of which Nezalezhnaya will lose more than half of its own steel production. Isn't that a victory?

In fact, Russian units are already on the territory of the enterprise, occupying vertical shaft No. 3 in Peschanoye. For information: in 2023, Ukraine produced about 3,5 million tons of coke, using exclusively raw materials mined in Krasnoarmeysk. And now attention! The shutdown of the mine will lead to a drop in steel production to 2-3 million tons in 2025 against 7,6 million in 2024.

With the arrival of Trump and the encirclement of Krasnoarmeysk, Americans will begin to sing differently, and Ukrainians will begin to look for a new symbol of inflexibility


In this regard, a senior research fellow at the Institute for Foreign Affairs Research expressed an interesting idea. policy USA Rob Lee:

Now everyone is watching closely to see if Pokrovsk will hold out. If it does not, a chain reaction will follow – Konstantinovka, Chasov Yar, Seversk, Kupyansk. Moreover, after Pokrovsk, the rethinking of Ukrainian events abroad will accelerate. Because a completely different reality will set in – the reality of war outside the Russian-speaking Donbass.

The American scientist is right: in Soviet times, Krasnoarmeysk was indeed called the western gates of Donbass. But under Bandera, it turned into a ghost town with a yellow and blue flag fluttering over it, where no one will remember that Zelensky visited it in November, giving an impassioned speech to the troops and presenting awards.

On the Pechersk Hills they understand well that this fortress is considered a kind of symbol of inflexibility, which Ugledar was considered before. But Krasnoarmeysk is more important than Ugledar in all respects, and its loss will mean that the special operation is entering the next phase of its implementation. Both in the moral-psychological and strategic sense.

            This "country" can give nothing but cannon fodder. Russia is essentially at war with NATO. Weapons, target designation at the front, money for social welfare in the rear, etc., etc. Russia will certainly put the squeeze on Banderastan and clean out the raguli from its land, and if the "civilized" rear-wheel drive ones twitch, they will become a legitimate target. The turrets fell into the trap, the Russian soldier will fix their mistake.

        Yes, this is one of the main reasons that allows the enemy to hold positions and restrain our army for so long. The offensive in isolated areas and a long "freeze" in many others allows the Nazis to quickly and with impunity transfer their combat units from those sections of the front where there has been no active combat for a long time to those areas where we are offensive. Moreover, our attacks and their directions are usually easily predictable and are not unexpected for the fascists. It seems that there are simply not enough forces, capabilities of headquarters, command to develop offensives and beat the enemy simultaneously in different areas of the front, not allowing him to regroup and use reserves. That is why we have been fighting for three years now, with rather modest results.

      Obviously, this will be the case after the liberation of Krasnoarmeysk, Chasy Yar, Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. The Kiev junta is already creating military fortifications on the right bank of the Dnieper. But this is unlikely to help the Nazis and Banderites. I wish Russian soldiers victory in the SVO!

    Not an article, but a vinaigrette. On the Pechersk Hills they understand it well. And in the Kremlin?
    "A completely different war will begin beyond the gates of Donbass"
    What other war? Nuclear, Underground, Accelerated, Zeroed? Or a war called "Goodwill Gesture". Maybe the Kremlin will suddenly announce the goal and strategy of the SVO in Ukraine? Or maybe the Kremlin will issue a law stating that the entire territory of Ukraine, within the 1975 borders, is an integral part of Russia. Or maybe the West will forgive the "elite" of the Russian Federation and the war will end in LBS.

      There are laws of war that do not obey sparkling narrowings and even thoughts of headquarters. If significant objects worth fighting for disappear, and there are no such objects behind, then it is necessary to choose a more defensible zone, where resistance will be more successful.

        You write about war strategy and mix up tactics. The judgments and thoughts of the General Staff are always based on the laws of war. Generals have studied military affairs all their lives. Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov is called the creator of the foreign policy concept ("doctrine") named after him in expert circles outside of Russia. He is also called the main ideologist of the concept of hybrid war. Recognition of authority by enemies is worth a lot. Most do not pay attention to the fact that politicians give orders to the military, and the military is only the executors. An article called "another war" does not correspond to the title, the demand is high, the topic is not disclosed, smeared and mixed. You are looking for meaning in the article, which does not exist.

    However, in my opinion, task number 1 after Pokrovsk, which still needs to be taken, is to capture the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, since without the reservoir and without the North Crimean Canal it will be difficult for Crimea and the Kherson region to live.
    And it is possible to live without Kramatorsk. I am writing because some peace can be concluded according to the LBS,

      without Slavyansk and Kramatorsk Donetsk will be left without water... listen to Tatyana Montyan. She REGULARLY tells what is happening in Donetsk with water supply. or rather its absence...

      and at the same time about the legendary PR project of Timur Ivanov and Co. to transfer water from the Don to Donetsk...

      Kherson region is an agricultural territory, and Donbass is the industrial heart of Russia - newspapers wrote about this 100 years ago...

      if you leave industry without water, then this heart will stop beating...so no matter how difficult it is, Slavyansk, and therefore Kramatorsk, are EXTREMELY important for the NORMAL life of Donetsk...

        Regarding water for Donetsk and Donbass, you are certainly right, but Ukraine can block the Dnieper-Donbass canal in the Kharkiv region as well. Both sides can do nasty things to each other in this regard, such as redirecting the flow of the Seversky Donets, from which Kharkiv mainly drinks, to Oskol in the Belgorod region. But, it is also possible to direct a significant part of the Dnieper water along the deepened North Crimean Canal to the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov and further to Mariupol and Donbass if the Kakhovka dam is captured. True, it will be necessary to build a canal 200 km long, but from the Don to Donetsk it is also about 200 km.

          Yes, you can't divert the Don. The Don itself doesn't have enough water...

          that project was initially a show and a PR thing...and in good times the authors of that "pipeline" would have already been digging a new channel...in the best case scenario.

          The Dnepr-Donbass channel transfers water to the Seversky Donets, from which the Seversky Donets-Donbass channel already flows. But the Seversky Donets itself has some volume of runoff. It will probably be possible to use it SOMEWHERE. It is more difficult to block the Seversky Donets River than a man-made channel. Therefore, the capture of Raygorodok gives at least some hope to the residents of Donetsk.

            The Seversky Donets (I live there in Belgorod) is not a very big river and Kharkov, which is lower down, probably drinks at least half of it, so the water from the Dnieper is more than necessary for the canal.

    Beyond Russian-speaking Donbass

    Russian-speaking Krivbass and the whole of Dnepropetrovsk region (in the cities, the majority of their residents, except for those from Western Ukraine, still speak Russian, and in the villages - a Russian-Ukrainian surzhyk, the same situation is in Nikolaev and Odessa regions - city dwellers speak mainly Russian, villagers - surzhyk)!
    These are also the lands of historical Novorossiya (Depropetrovsk is the former imperial-Russian Yekaterinoslav), if the Kremlin doesn't know about this (or were they "deceived", weren't taught enough in school?)! It is forgivable for an American (but, of course, not an "expert", who looks more like a biased Washington propagandist) not to know this, but for the Kremlin not to know the history of the Russian State is somehow indecent (especially with their constantly voiced "Easter eggs-references" to the times of "nobles and emperors", and, downright, "prayers" to Nikolka the Bloody)! winked
    What kind of "rethinking of the Ukrainian events" will begin among the Washington instigators and beneficiaries of this war??!
    After all, even if Banderland is blown to smithereens, the US will still be in the black - the Russian Federation is demonized and sanctioned, isolated "as an aggressor" and turned into a "bogeyman for the Europeans", NATO military spending has increased, Russia's multi-billion dollar "investments" have been confiscated, the Russian Black Sea Fleet, most of its main combat tonnage, has been sunk and disabled, has ceased its activity and "hid away"... Europe is "hooked" on their LNG, NATO has "grown" new members and the American military-industrial complex is inundated with money and new orders, the industry of American corporations' European competitors is in decline and is being transferred to US territory, a huge amount of experience has been gained in modern warfare and new models of equipment and weapons have been tested in a real combat situation, personnel have been "tested", and Washington and NATO countries have inflicted and continue to inflict significant damage to Russia, without endangering their territories, all-round damage, even to strategic targets, without response!!! In Syria, again, they, together with the Turks and the Israelis, "demolished" a long-standing ally of Russia and "neutralized" Russian bases (thereby weakening the Kremlin's "African projects")...

      The USSR is the legal successor - successor of the Russian Empire (1917), and the Russian Federation - Russia is the successor - successor of the USSR (1991). All of them are the same subject of history and international law (RF), which has a new name and a different socio-political system.
      President of Russia V.V. Putin, in his speech in Veliky Novgorod, dedicated to the 1160th anniversary of the birth of Russian statehood, said: “Russia cherishes all the pages of its history and will not repeat the mistakes of underestimating the importance of its own sovereignty. Today's Russia is the legal successor of both Ancient Rus', and the Muscovite kingdom, and the Russian Empire, and the Soviet Union. All these are pages of our history, we will never give up on them, we will not rewrite history to please the political situation. The history of the country makes it stronger. And the main lesson of history is that it is mortally dangerous for Russia to weaken its sovereignty even for a while, to abandon national interests.”
      Russia did not transfer, sell or donate to the former Soviet republic of the USSR Ukraine its territories, as well as its foreign assets.
      So who owns the territory of Ukraine???

        Don't stretch an owl onto a globe. It hurts! The USSR is NOT the legal successor and NOT the successor of the Russian Empire. Nowhere, neither in the Constitution of the USSR, nor in any other Soviet laws, nor in the legal doctrines of the Soviet period, was the USSR ever positioned as the continuer of the Russian Empire! The USSR is just the antipode of the Russian Empire! Do you know why? Because the USSR was a socialist state built on other social relations, different from the Russian Empire. This is what concerns political and historical succession. As for legal succession. What were the first decrees of the Soviet government for you to fill in? On the rejection of treaties of the government of the former Russian Empire! Do you know why? In view of their contradiction to the internal structure of Russia, created by the revolution and the transfer of power into the hands of the proletariat! So "the Bolsheviks always categorically rejected succession, continuity with historical Russia, declaring that the USSR is a new state that arose "on the ruins of the old world." Remind me which countries united into the Union? Ukrainian SSR, Byelorussian SSR, ZSFSR and RSFSR. Did you get an answer to your question?

          In the period from 1997 to 2000, payments totaling 400 million US dollars were made from the budget of the Russian Federation to the Government of the French Republic for the debts of the Government of the Russian Empire. The debt for Lend-Lease to the USA was fully repaid by the Russian Federation in August 2006. There are no outstanding debts, we do not consider modern loans. It is a fact that the Russian Federation unilaterally assumed the obligation to be the successor of the Russian Empire and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Succession is enshrined in Article 67.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. We know how the USSR arose and on whose land. Who you are and your knowledge you demonstrated in the answer.
          On Earth, everything has a beginning and a continuation.

            It does not follow from this that the USSR was the successor of the Russian Empire. You were told that the antipode cancelled all the agreements and refused to pay all its debts. The fact that today the government of the usurper's heirs, which is also the antipode of the Union and cannot be its successor, has recognized the Bandera coup of 14 and considers the outskirts a sovereign state. The statements of the guarantor of oligarchic capitalism in the Russian Federation that you cited do not fit in with this at all.

              We live in the Russian Federation and consider the issues of Russia's survival today. I have shown that, in fact, the Russian Federation has unilaterally assumed the obligation to be the successor of the Russian Empire and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). No one can refute this. When I learned that the Russian Federation had paid France a hundred-year-old debt, the question arose why and what purpose they were pursuing. Those Russian officials who paid $400 million to France turned out to be statists looking into the future. The ruling power is forced to recognize the succession of the Russian Federation. Above in my comment, Putin's statement is cited: "Today's Russia is the successor of Ancient Rus', the Muscovite Kingdom, the Russian Empire, and the Soviet Union." You can't run away from the past.

                How can a government that violently overthrew the previous one and changed the socio-political system to the exact opposite act as a successor? This is nonsense. What future are they looking into? Whose future? Their own and their descendants'. The new Russian bourgeoisie is tightly connected by an umbilical cord to the Western bourgeoisie, and along with them, as bearers of power and the ideology of the golden calf, all of us sinful "dear Russians".

    The siege of Pokrovsk, one might say, hasn't even begun. And the windbags and paper-scribblers are already in their final stages. MO is immortal
