Analysts have identified three factors that are helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces achieve success near Liman.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces, deployed in a counterattack in the Liman sector, achieved territorial gains thanks to three key factors, according to the Telegram channel "Legitimny," citing a source in the General Staff. The publication notes that this success could lead to serious problems for the Ukrainian army in the long run.

They formed a large force and attacked in one direction. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now coming under massive airstrikes in that area—there are many more of them.

– calls “Legitimate” the first factor of success.



Developing their idea, the authors of the resource emphasize that the second determining factor was the concentration of the best UAV units in this area of ​​the LBS, as well as the use of heavy the technique.

This direction was chosen because US and NATO intelligence identified it as the “thinnest” section of the Russian Armed Forces’ defense – the Russians withdrew their reserves from there.

– the Telegram channel points to the third factor.

Predicting further developments, the resource warns that the main risk for the Ukrainian army is that the offensive operation near Liman could deplete the best reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In the long term, this could turn out to be another gamble that will bleed dry the remaining combat-ready units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which could more effectively and for a longer period hold the defense in the DPR.

- says the publication.

It's worth noting that Russian experts, when analyzing the Ukrainian Armed Forces' local successes near Liman, are pointing to inaccurate reports from individual commanders. According to analysts, reports were coming in from this LBS area about the liberation of settlements that, in fact, remained under enemy control.

    Yes, we're definitely noting it. Moreover, the fact that the enemy was concentrating troops north of Liman was known two weeks ago. Even the Reporter and VO wrote about it.

        Well, the war correspondents didn't just pull them out of thin air, but apparently from some LBS channels. So, apparently, the General Staff not only doesn't read them, but isn't particularly interested in the intelligence reports either.

          Don't disturb us, the General Staff works according to pre-determined plans, and they report to the old man in accordance with them, so as not to upset him over trifles.

    It's still not clear.
    The Ukrainian Armed Forces are achieving success in the Liman direction due to

    Inaccurate reports from individual commanders. According to analysts, this section of the LBS reported the liberation of settlements that, in fact, remained under enemy control.

    and no other options are visible.

    The Moscow Legitimacy is not only telepathically intruding into the thoughts of Ukrainians, but is also extracting data from our Russian General Staff...

    Such talents should be in financial control. There would be no price... But they write that capital flight from the country has increased sharply... they couldn't even lower the interest rate, despite the wishes of the President Himself...

      Separate the wheat from the chaff. Regardless of what he wants, the Central Bank is not under his control. Rather, it reports to the IMF.

          Moreover, this story clearly reeks of impenetrable stupidity. It is Putin who repeatedly nominates Nabiullina for the post of head of the Central Bank, and to naively think that in Russia, where not a single state institution enjoys even a modicum of independence, the Central Bank is accountable to the IMF... Well, I don't know, you'd have to have the intelligence of a guppy to think that.

            Moreover, the story clearly reeks of impenetrable stupidity.

            Is that you about yourself?

            According to the Constitution of Russia, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation does not belong to the executive, legislative or judicial branches of power.
            The state is not liable for its obligations, and the bank is not liable for the obligations of the state.

            The head of the Bank of Russia (currently Elvira Nabiullina) is appointed by the State Duma at the suggestion of the President of the Russian Federation for a term of five years. But if you recall the relationship between the Central Bank and the IMF in the financial sector, Article 4

            ...is a depository of the International Monetary Fund's funds in the currency of the Russian Federation, and carries out operations and transactions stipulated by the Articles of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund and agreements with the International Monetary Fund;...

            The Central Bank manages the ruble's emission through a "currency board." This is necessary because every IMF member country is obligated to ensure the instantaneous exchange of its entire national currency for dollars and pounds from its own gold and foreign exchange reserves. This rule must be observed at all times. Without it, the IMF will not accept funds. As a result, the Russian economy doesn't have the amount of money needed for its normal functioning, but rather the amount of dollars tucked away in the Central Bank's coffers. The amount of dollars earned from selling oil and gas equals the amount of Russian rubles that can be printed. In other words, the entire Russian economy is artificially dependent on the export of natural resources.

            Art. 22

            ...The Bank of Russia does not have the right to provide loans to finance budget deficits...

            It's often said that if the central bank is separate from the state, it's the norm—it's accepted everywhere. The United States is often cited as an example, where the Federal Reserve System also operates independently of the state. However, in any civilized country, including the United States, the central bank has the right to provide credit to its own economy.

            Article 22 of the Federal Law on the Central Bank shows us that if the Russian state does not have enough money, it cannot take a loan from the Central Bank, as, for example, the United States does from its Federal Reserve System. However, at the same time, the Bank of Russia is allowed to lend to the economies of other countries, which it actively does.

            Article 23.

            ...Funds from the federal budget and funds from state extra-budgetary funds are kept in the Bank of Russia, unless otherwise provided by federal laws...

            Despite the fact that the Central Bank is independent of the state and is not liable for its obligations, all "federal budget funds and state extra-budgetary funds are kept in the Bank of Russia." Article 23 also informs us that if the Government of the Russian Federation wishes to conduct any financial transaction, it issues an order to the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. The Ministry of Finance, in turn, must enter into an agreement with the Bank of Russia, and only if the Bank of Russia agrees to enter into an agreement can the transaction be carried out. Thus, we see that the Bank of Russia is not only exempt from executing government orders, as stipulated in Article 1 of the Law on the Central Bank, but is also completely free from subordination to the Ministry of Finance, as the law clearly states that "the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation shall, where necessary, enter into agreements" and not operate under a "manager-subordinate" system.

              No, I'm talking specifically about you. Because back on December 8, 2020, Putin signed a package of laws on this very topic.

              According to the new legal norms, in Russia "the application of the rules of international treaties of the Russian Federation in their interpretation inconsistent with the Constitution of the Russian Federation is not permitted."

              Furthermore, the Law "On International Treaties of the Russian Federation" stipulates that the Constitutional Court now has the authority to review unconstitutional decisions of international courts and interstate bodies for the possibility of their enforcement, "if they contradict the foundations of the public legal order of the Russian Federation."

              Therefore, the IMF has long since lost any real leverage over any organization under Russian jurisdiction. Only the most narrow-minded repeat tales about how the evil IMF controls the Central Bank of Russia. Calm down, all decisions by the Central Bank of Russia are solely the implementation of the decisions of the Government and the President of the Russian Federation; blaming their mistakes on the evil IMF will no longer work. Such statements are especially ironic given that a significant portion of the Central Bank's piggy bank is frozen in Euroclear. What do your manuals say? Can rubles be printed against frozen dollars or euros? And if not, where is the evidence of the collapse of the ruble supply after the freezing of Russian assets abroad? :)

              You don't even realize how infantile and helpless your arguments are. If Russia's leading financial institution is controlled by the IMF and acts at its behest while Russia is effectively waging war with the EU and the US, then this fact alone demonstrates not only the complete incompetence of Russia's entire leadership, but also that this leadership is completely under the influence of foreign entities. But how did a leadership completely under the control of foreign entities manage to engage in de facto warfare with the countries to which these very entities belong? But proponents of "IMF control over the Central Bank" generally lack logic, so I'm not even surprised.

    But what about the idea that we've been told for years now, that it's impossible to organize a large-scale offensive, even covertly, and that they'll be immediately destroyed?! That the crests don't have the strength to counterattack?!
    But the enemies somehow manage to do this again and again!
    And they have already stationed their "best forces" in Kursk and other places more than once, but somehow we still haven't seen them running to the Polish border!
    And after these years of lies, even about our peaceful life, we are supposed to believe “our” government and their mouthpieces and officials?
