By Yurasumy Translated from Russian by J.Hawk for FortRuss Commander of the 93rd “Zhitomir” Brigade, Oleg Mikats, taken prisoner at the airport. At first he was described as a battalion commander. But it’s not so. Oleg Mikats is the commander of the 93rd Brigade. He was the third on the Right Sector party list during the recent Rada elections [he is shown in illustration above in the top row,
by Mikail Khazin translation by: Mikhael (thanks a lot Mikhael!! The Saker) The scale of the events in France and the intensity of the ensuing panic turned out to be so massive that even the most politically unprepared people realized that the stability of EU is facing an enormous threat. And it doesn’t even matter if the French authorities are successful in neutralizing the current situation – it may
I have to admit that what happened in the past 24 hours has been a surprise for me. For one thing, I expected an attack later in the year because right now the weather conditions are bad and very much favor the defenders. I also expected a heavy fire preparation of the battlefield (meaning that the Ukies would shell Novorussian positions) followed by a push by Ukie armor along several
he French comedian Dieudonne, recently arrested for a tweet under the new French anti-terror laws, has been freed and will play tonight in the city of Metz in a completely overbooked concert hall. Dieudonne’s lawyers had to sue the state and the owners of the concert hall. This time, the good guys won. A victory for freedom and a quenelle for the Fascist French regime! [Note from webmaster: We

Remember the Colonel commanding the Ukie forces at the new terminal? The one Motorola agreed to shake hands with. Here he is again, with both Givi and Motorola :-) But this time already as a prisoner!! That should tell you what has been going on over the past 24 hours… More (good) news later tonight The Saker PS: a huge THANK YOU to Colonel Cassad for his fantastic reporting and
by Alexander Mercouris for Russia Insider As the economic situation in Ukraine goes from bad to worse the response of the Ukrainian government’s attention is focused instead on resuming the war in the Donbass. Over the last few weeks we have heard boasts from President Poroshenko that the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian military have been fully restored since its defeat last summer and that all its losses in armour

Over a million people – Muslims and Orthodox Christians – have taken to the streets of Grozny to protest against the caricatures of Prophet Mohammed by the Charlie Hebdo magazine: [Note from editor: The image is not available any longer.] Their slogans were: “We love Prophet Mohammed” “No to Mohammed cartoons” “Islam is a religion of peace and creation” “Violence is not the method” Orthodox priest from Chechnia
This is a photo of “Matros” (Sailor), the commander of the company of the “Sparta” battalion (commanded by the famous “Motorola”) whose men, during a counterattack, succeeded in storming the new terminal of the Donestk airport and who booted the Ukrainians out of the last location of the airport under their control.

By Israel Shamir The edifice of world post-1991 order is collapsing right now before our eyes. President Putin’s decision to give a miss to the Auschwitz pilgrimage, right after his absence in Paris at the Charlie festival, gave it the last shove. It was good clean fun to troll Russia, as long as it stayed the course. Not anymore. Russia broke the rules. Until now, Russia, like a country

Dear friends, I will be gone all day today so I will make this one short. So far, and regardless of the hilarious misrepresentation of the events in the western MSM, the Ukrainian attack as failed everywhere. Peski has been partially taken by the Novorussians (helped by Serbian volunteers), Ukrainians forces around Mariupol are on the retreat and the overall intensity of combats is “medium”. For details, the best I
Things look very bad today and very intensive combat operations, in particular artillery strikes, are reported everywhere in Novorussia. At the very least, in the following locations: 1) Donetsk Airport: the Ukrainians attacked with a fairly large concentration of armor and under heavy artillery fire. As for tonight (local time) all of these attacks have been successfully repelled but intelligences sources are reporting a sharp rise in the number of
submitted by “Mister Unknown” of the Hidden Harmonies China Blog As an avid follower and enthusiast of modern trends in Sino-Russian relations (and media coverage thereof), I saw this “jewel” of an op-ed in the New York Times earlier this week, titled “Why China will Reclaim Siberia“. This type of Sinophobic fear-mongering is nothing new in the western media. With amusement, I read through it with the slight hope
by Mark Sleboda Russia will obviously not allow the West-backed and installed Kiev regime to conquer the rump “NovoRossiya” by military means. This latest “offensive” of theirs will either peter out quickly or will end very badly for them if it expands in the Spring. But the NAF is even less a coherent and organized force than the UAF/batallions (and that’s saying a lot because Kiev has very limited
1) The Ukrainian claims that they retook the terminal are false. The attack was beat back. 2) Contrary Ukrainian claims, Motorola is not dead. In fact, a radio-intercept of him commanding the counter-offensive tonight (9PM local time) has been posted on YouTube: 3) The Ukrainians do not have the forces needed locally for an effective counter attack. 4) In Ingushetia, 20’000 people too the the streets to
Many of pointed out that apparently the French and most westerners seem to be much more upset when 12 people die in Paris then when hundreds, thousand and tens of thousands die elsewhere. It appears that the 1980s slogan “don’t touch my pal” which was originally supposed to denounce racism now has been “re-worked” into a, if not racist, then at least a chauvinistic mode: don’t kill French leftists no
