Sitrep Ukraine (daily’ish 2) Important Update

Collated and commented by Amarynth for the Saker Blog There still is not a good understanding of what this news blackout out of Russia is doing.  It is one of the most important issues for us to deal with.  But let me repeat what this Sitrep is and supposed to be.  This is not in a sequence of importance and you will be looking at my daily raw research data

Day 10 of the Russian special operation in Banderastan

Dear friends It’s day 10 of the Russian special operation and in this commentary I will try to sum up some of the most critical developments.  So here we go: First, the now obligatory map of the situation as of yesterday evening: I won’t comment much because either it is self-evident to you and my commentary is not needed, or this looks like an imminent Ukrainian victory over a “miscalculating

Sitrep Ukraine (daily’ish 1)

Information gathered by Amarynth for The Saker Blog We are all struggling to find enough information and data about the special operation in the Ukraine as a result of major data suppression by the west.  I am located in an area that has not throttled the flow and can attempt to bring new information as it breaks from many varied sources.  Let’s see how this goes.  This is not in

Lebanon, Ukraine and Taiwan

By Ghassan Kadi for the Saker Blog As the European colonialist empires were being dismantled, many nations that gained independence inherited enormous problems that remain unresolved to-date. If anything, countries like India and Pakistan are currently in a bigger state of discord than the one that led to partition and the creation of Pakistan in 1947; and this is an understatement. They are adversaries, both nuclear capable and armed to

Not exactly Chernobyl

By Dmitry Orlov and posted with the author’s permission I guess I’ll have to keep publishing some short notes on the situation in the Ukraine, since it’s all over the news and most of that is fake news. Overnight there was a ridiculous amount of noise about Zaporozhskaya AES, which is the largest nuke plant in Europe. President Zelensky proclaimed that it is the new Chernobyl and that all of

Day 9 of the Russian special operation in the Ukraine

Good evening, friends, First let’s begin with a map of how the situation was yesterday evening: The main news missing from here is that the Russian Black Sea Fleet conducted strikes on the Ukrainian coast southwest of Odessa.  The other big news I already mentioned, the Russians safely took control of the Zaporozhie nuclear plant.  Earlier the Ukronazis wanted a no fly zone above it to prevent another Chernobyl, only

Quick update and OPEN THREAD

In this post, I will be very short. First, the Ukrainian military used a Tochka-U missile to strike at a Nazi deathsquad near Mariupol.  Read all the details here on Andrei Martyanov’s website: https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2022/03/well-so-much-for-unity.html. Second, here is a machine translated summary of the day by Boris Rozhin: 1. Kiev. Fighting in Bucha and in the Gostomel area. There are battles to the west of Kiev. Gradually, the city is being

How Russia Will Counterpunch the U.S./EU Declaration of War

By Pepe Escobar, posted with the author’s permission and widely cross-posted Only self-sufficiency affords total independence. And the Big Picture has also been keenly understood by the Global South. One of the key underlying themes of the Russia/Ukraine/NATO matrix is that the Empire of Lies (copyright Putin) has been rattled to the core by the combined ability of Russian hypersonic missiles and a defensive shield capable of blocking incoming nuclear

The “relatively civilized” people should ally themselves with the “uncivilized” ones

By Aram Mirzaei for the Saker blog The Western psyops is truly at its full capacity right now. As the Saker has reported himself for many days now, they’ve targeted Russia everywhere and in every way possible. They’ve completely taken control of the narrative and are basically on a witch hunt for those deemed “deviant”. The Western media is rampant with “reporting” and “analyses” where all these “experts” are competing

Sanctions Seppuku: The Big Reveal: “Let them fly to space on their broomsticks”

by Chris Faure for the Saker Blog Russia is beginning to respond to the insane sanctions, and the sanctions are insane. “Russia will stop deliveries of rocket engines to US – Russian Space Agency chief. The Roscosmos chief added, “Let them fly into space on their broomsticks.” And we all say OORAH! OneWeb Pulls Workers from Russian-run Baikonur Satellite Launch Project The London-based tech company OneWeb has removed its employees

“It saddens me that the word “honor” has been forgotten”

Since it is too early to comment upon the military events of the day, that info comes with delay, I wanted to mention a few things about the politics of it all. First, from a purely military point of view, the outcome is not in doubt.  Initially, about 120-150 thousand soldiers were facing each other along the LOC and the Russian Ukrainian border.  According to Russian military experts, the Russians

US is repeating the same mistakes from Afghanistan

by Batko Milacic for the Saker Blog The United States invested $83 billion in arming the Afghan army. Having lost there, the Americans abandoned all their weapons and they fell into the hands of terrorists, criminal elements, drug dealers, which led to an acceleration of destabilization in the Central Asian region. That’s the price of “planting“ US democracy in Afghanistan. Built and trained for two decades, Afghan security forces collapsed

This came as a result of the ‘peace talks’.

A matter of self-defence

by Ghassan Kadi for the Saker blog I am not here to write about historic, strategic and military details pertaining to the issues surrounding the Ukraine crisis. Apart from those fabricating Hollywood material, there are many excellent analysts covering these areas competently. But as a Syrian/Lebanese, within my limited capacity, I have a duty to show support and reciprocate Russia’s support to Syria where it is due and, in this

War in Ukraine: “The whole world is with us” – and, with whom is “us”, with Kiev or with Moscow?

by Yuri Podolyaka for this YT channel translated by N. for the Saker blog Hello, my dear listeners. Today is March 2 and today’s first material will not be a review of the war front situation, because in the last few hours I just have not had a chance to get a whole lot of information. There is some information, but I will cover it in the next review. Today,
