First, since Boris Rozhin did take the time to write up a summary for the day, I will begin by sharing with you a machine translation of his summary of the day:
1. Negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will be held tomorrow on the territory of Belarus. Moscow has made it clear once again today that if Kiev does not accept the conditions (without any concessions), the consequences for Ukrainian statehood will be severe. The United States says that the second phase of the operation may begin on Monday, including operations to establish control over Odessa and Kiev, as well as the encirclement of the AFU group in the Donbas. In the statements of Zelensky’s gang, there are more and more hysterical notes and accusations against the West that he threw (there has never been such a thing).
2. Humanitarian corridors in Mariupol and Volnovakha are still being disrupted by the Nazis from Azov, despite all agreements. Is anyone surprised? I’m not. So far, it has been possible to free about 300 people from the hands of terrorists who were holed up in Mariupol. Several dozen more were able to escape from Volnovakha. Ukrainian terrorists do not want to get rid of their human shield in any way. Which condemns many people to death when the counter-terrorist operation begins in Mariupol itself and the active cleaning of Volnovakha continues.
3. Misunderstandings continue with Zelensky’s real whereabouts, and Ukrainian and American sources are dispersing the news about Zelensky’s impending evacuation to the West, and the search for spies and traitors is also continuing. Kivu was accused of “high treason” and put on the wanted list. They’ll catch him, probably kill him like Kireev. And there they will already think who he is a “traitor” or a “hero”. Zelensky himself said today that the West wants Ukrainians to be killed (woke up) and that “we are fighting for where the new border will be.” The old border will obviously no longer exist. The borders will change in any case – the question of course is interesting, where they will pass.
4. Anti-war rallies are taking place in the Russian Federation today, with the help of which Zelensky called for stopping the operation in Ukraine. Judging by the number of people gathered, even the arrest of Navalny (who is this, by the way?) and coronavirus restrictions (by the way, where is covid?) they worried citizens more. But let’s see, maybe by the evening the number will grow up. In the meantime, everything is pretty pathetic, which was apparently facilitated by a fierce information sweep, which continued today.
5. The enforcement of the law on fakes on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has begun today. The first lucky person got off with a fine of 60,000 rubles. I had the idea to write about the problems in the offensive operation (of course, they also exist), but I’ll wait for now – we need to see how the law works in practice. Well, or after the end of the operation there will be material when military censorship will not be so fierce.
With regard to the operation itself, it is worth noting that even in the West there are discrepancies regarding the plans of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, although the progress on the map gives some idea of what they are striving for. From a subjective point of view, priority No. 1 is the destruction of the AFU group in the Donbas by encircling and defeating this group, which will deprive Ukraine of most of the armed forces and heavy equipment.

Yesterday Putin had a most interesting conversations with members of what look like members of an flight attendant union. We hope to bring the the whole thing subtitled in English later today, but here is the key sentence made by Putin during that conversation:
Translation: If the leadership of Ukraine continues to do what they are doing, it will call into question the future of Ukrainian statehood, and that will be entirely their responsibility
I think that it is important to understand the context in which Putin made this statement. As a reminder
- The Ukronazi armed forces are down to less than 25% of its original size.
- Almost all the remaining forces are in some type or another of cauldrons.
- Russia has full air supremacy
- The Ukronazi fleet does not exist anymore
- In spite of all the propaganda, no help from abroad will affect the outcome of this war
- It appears that Russia will surround Odessa and eventually take control of the entire Ukrainian Black Sea coast
In other words, what seems to be shaping up is that Russia will soon have control over the entire Ukraine except for the western provinces (west of Vinnitsa and Zhitomir). In other words, the war is over, at least militarily. There will be a meeting between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators tomorrow, and it shall be interesting to see if something, anything, will come out of it.
The West is clearly determined to heroically fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian. Russia wants to stop this operation as soon as possible, but only after her double goals of 1) disarmament and 2) denazification are achieved.
Right now the big question is Kiev. It’s a big city with plenty of civilians and probably 30-50 thousand combatants of all different kinds (VSU, SBU, Volkssturm, deathsquads, looters, etc.). The logical solution would be to offer the combatants (and the civilians) corridors to exit the city, but the West can’t have that.
Now if the Ukies won’t vacate Kiev, then some rather serious fighting will take place inside the city and clearing the city from the Nazis will demand the involvement of a major Russian force. It appears that these forces are now in their staging areas all around the city (except for the south).
Think about it this way: the frontline (line of contact) is now very long and the Ukies don’t have enough forces to even try to hold any frontline in such a context.
However, remember the number of Russian forces deployed along the Ukrainian border – about 100’000+ or so soldiers? It appears that there are currently not enough Russian forces to fully exploit the Russian advances over the past ten days. Alternatively, we could say that the Russian force is big enough, but that now it has to sharply increase its use of firepower to further develop its operations.
For all these reasons, here is what I suppose is in the making:
- If the Ukrainian delegation agrees to a surrender, then things can be resolved with the least amount of needless deaths and suffering. However, the West will not allow the Ukrainians to surrender and those Ukrainians who might agree to talk will get shot by their own (it is happening all over Banderastan right now).
- Having received a Ukrainian rejection, I believe that Russia will bring in more forces and will begin by clearing out the Mariupol and Odessa cauldrons (or “soon to be cauldrons”).
- In at least one case (near Voznesensk) a Ukrainian counter-attack did break through the Russian defensive lines. This shows that the Russian lines are thinning out as a consequence of their own successes, and that then allows the Nazi forces to mount successful counter-attacks.
- It is also quite clear that the US/NATO is offering the Ukrainians its full reconnaissance/intelligence support and that while their own networks and command posts are gone, the US/NATO continue to support Ukie operations.
For all these reasons, and failing some kind of ceasefire, the next 7-10 days ought to see a sharp increase in Russian operations not only in the air and on the ground, but also on the sea where the Black Sea Fleet will be engaged to secure the Ukrainian coast line. The Russians might also have to do something about NATO’s intel/recon support for Ukrainian forces, either overtly or with a modicum of plausible deniability.
Which begs one question: how far west are the Russians willing to go?
I don’t know. But I know that during his talk yesterday Putin indicated that “only” supporting and defending the LDNR would not be enough because the Ukrainian forces in the Donbass would receive a constant flow of support from the West.
Hence the Russian General Staff decided that it needed to do two things first: destroy the Ukrainian defense infrastructure and 2, encircle the Ukronazi forces in the Donbass by a envelopment/pincer movement from the south and the north. I still am waiting for a confirmation that this operational-level cauldron is locked, but nobody (that I know of) produced any recent map for today. Still, I think that we can safely assume that cauldron will be locked very soon (or has already been locked).
Still, major (relatively speaking) Ukrainian force concentrations have dug in and are ready for long urban combat operations in at least the following cities: Odessa, Dnepr and Kiev. Could the Russian military evict the Nazis from these cities? Yes, Mariupol is being cleaned up as we speak, but only at a high human cost (on all sides) and by bringing in more firepower (on the ground and in the air).
My guess is that the Russians have decided to clear the entire south front first. Russian forces are already in between Nikolaev and Odessa, and the Black Sea Fleet has reportedly conducted strikes southwest of Odessa. Right now the Black Sea Fleet is keeping the Ukrainians guessing whether there will be an amphibious assault and if yes, where.
I am no prophet, but a securing a bridgehead southwest of Odessa to then land an amphibious assault force and develop it all from there seems like a reasonable idea to me.
Once both Odessa and Nikolaev are either taken or, at least, solidly surrounded then Russia can free more forces to move north. Likewise, as soon as the operational cauldron in the Donbass is locked, this will also free more forces to then move west. If this is successful, then Russia will have achieved a strategic cauldron encompassing the entire Ukraine west of the Vinnitsa-Zhitomir line.
If this is not successful and Russians lose their tempo, then the only solution left will be to sharply increase the intensity of the entire operation. I think that this is exactly what Putin had in mind when he said “If the leadership of Ukraine continues to do what they are doing, it will call into question the future of Ukrainian statehood, and that will be entirely their responsibility“.
So, to sum it all up:
- Russia would prefer to end this war at the negotiations table
- The West wants to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian
- and the Ukrainians… …actually, I have no idea what they are up to, what they still hope for, what they understand or not, but the best thing they could do would be to rise up against the Nazis, disarm them and declare their cities open. Either that, or emigrate.
This is a totally depressing thought, but I see no other option for Russia but to turn up the “pain dial” on both the Ukrainians and the West and see if they are now willing to stop this war.
If not, then turn it up again, and then repeat as many times as needed until either 1) the West capitulates or 2) the Ukraine is unilaterally disarmed and denazified by Russia.
Here is what is also crucial to understand:
Russia was willing, when forced, to intervene in the Ukraine. If forced, Russia will take on any country, including any NATO member country, which will assist the Ukrainians militarily. If forced, Russia will even fight all of NATO and the USA together and, if forced, she will use all her weapons, including nuclear ones. And if that means that the entire planet is nuked then, as Putin said, “we have no need for a planet without Russia”. All this is to say that Russia is not bluffing, Putin will not back down and that there is no price which Russia would not be willing to pay to prevail in this existential war.
Russia will not stop until her existence is made safe again.
What about the West?
I believe that the West has a “smartass policy”: we do fight down the the last Ukie, and we get as many Steppe Niggers and Snow Niggers to kill each other, but then we stop just short of nuclear war with Russia.
Question: do you trust the geniuses in power in the West to successfully walk this tightrope?
I sure don’t.
Reach your own conclusions.

This blinkton is bad news, he wants to over ride the EU and actually start a war beyond the economic one he’s neck deep into completing.
https://www.rt.com/news/551375-blinken-fighter-jets-ukraine/
Shortly after the EU’s announcement, Poland stated that it wouldn’t send jets to Ukraine nor allow its airports to be used for deliveries. Bulgaria and Slovakia then stated that they wouldn’t take part in any deal, effectively killing off the EU’s arms supply plans.
However, Blinken’s statement on Sunday suggests that the plan may have been revived, but by the US and Poland rather than the EU. Blinken did not give any indication how soon Polish planes could be on their way to Ukraine, but said that discussions between Washington and Warsaw were “active.”
I have two contributions to share…
Pres Putin speaking to the Russian Nation about the Special Operation & the casualties & combat fatalities …
https://youtu.be/8_BGNNKQ5TM
Secondly an excellent monologue by George Galloway, he provides an excellent summary of events thus far:
https://youtu.be/EPWVALKAEso
Two significant recent developments George Galloway discusses that most of us are aware of:
1. The reports by the Ru Defence Ministry regarding the alleged discovery of a US run WMD/CCBRN Lab in eastern Ukraine.
2. The statement earlier today by US SoS Anthony Blinken where he & therefore the US gave a ‘green light’ to NATO member states supplying military aircraft to the Ukrainian Defence Force.
This is in direct contravention to what I perceived as the messaging from NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg earlier last week. As George Galloway correctly highlights it would appear that all military/civilian airfields inside the Ukraine are now unusable.
Therefore any supplied foreign (NATO aircraft) flown by the Ukrainian Defence forces would have to (presumably?) operate against the Ru Defence Forces in side the Ukraine from NATO airfields outside Ukrainian territory – from NATO countries.
If these aircraft directly attack the Ru Defence Forces on the ground in the Ukraine then Russia will respond. This escalation will invoke Article 5 of the NATO Treaty.
https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_110496.htm
This is a huge escalation by the US.
I recall the John Bolton interview on RTs ‘Going Underground’ only yesterday where Bolton openly stated that ‘the US was not concerned about future security/stability of Europe’ & Bolton went on to say ‘Russia was bluffing when they raised the alert level of their Nuclear Forces’.
What will NATO do if, once military combat aircraft (if supplied to the Ukraine & presumably flown by Ukrainian pilots??) start getting shot down? If these aircraft are unable to operate from inside the Ukraine & start flying from nearby NATO countries (Poland, Romania, Bulgaria?) then as the Russian Govt had stated before the 24 Feb 22 these locations would become legitimate targets.
I don’t see how there is any practicality to these aircraft. Aren’t they leftovers from Soviet days? That’s a very long time ago. An old Romanian MIG crashed recently. The reliability of this stuff has got to minimal. Old North Korean MIGS are known to fall out of the air.
It is not that any aircraft supplied (regardless of their age/type) would have any practicality or suitability.
The issue at hand is that it would now appear that the supply of Military Combat aircraft & the operation of them from NATO soil against Ru Forces inside the Ukraine – a non NATO Member is now a matter of US Policy & therefore NATO Policy & therefore if this occurs it will invoke the Article 5 Treaty.
This will automatically bring all 27 NATO Countries into a state of de-facto war with Russia.
President Putin warned of such a dangerous escalation when Russia issued its Security Guarantee Statement & Demands to NATO & The EU. He stated & I quote ‘in the blink of an eye’.
There would appear to be no viable airfield within the territory not occupied by the Ru Forces for combat aircraft to operate from.
Therefore a sane person (& therefore the Ru Government & the Ru Ministry of Defence) would have to deduce that any aircraft supplied by a NATO nation to the Ukraine must be operating from NATO soil.
Ru Military surveillance will confirm this.
This will automatically make those NATO airfields & the NATO Command Structures that control them legitimate strike target for the Ru Ministry of Defence.
Once again President Putin warned of such a dangerous escalation when Russia issued its Security Guarantee Statement & Demands to NATO & The EU.
This is a hugely dangerous statement of what we must assume now to be the declared foreign policy of the United States & by extension NATO in Central Europe.
I suggest that instead of persuading a Nato dupe to commit suicide by supplying aircraft to Ukraine, that it sail a US aircraft carrier into the Black Sea and use that as an AF base for its own operations. It’s called “strategery.”
Wonder how long that carrier would remain afloat! Perhaps the USN would have the decency to let the crew know they were on a one-way mission . . . .
I’m trying to locate this quote: “we have no need for a planet without Russia”.
I find similar wording, but the search results flood me with recent mainstream media articles unrelated to this one quote.
https://youtu.be/MlRRVHGywMk?t=150
“If someone makes a decision to destroy Russia, then we have the lawful right to respond. Yes for humanity, it would be global catastrophe. For the whole world it would be a catastrophe. But…I ask the question, why do we need that kind of world, where there is no Russia?”
@ joel
Problem is in the wording, you’re phrasing the search as a sentence, as you found it in the Saker’s latest report, and it was actually a rhetorical question Putin asked during an interview with Vladimir Solovyov for a documentary titled “The New World Order and Russia’s Place in It” in 2018.

and a YouTube video here,

Warning: you have to sign in to confirm your age. (Wonder why?)
Here is the quote in context.
“…So if someone makes a decision to destroy Russia, we have every right to fight back. Yes, it would be a global disaster for the humanity and for the world, but being a Russian citizen and head of Russia, I want to ask a question, “What’s the point of the world without Russia?”

Re: how far west are the Russians willing to go?
Pre-expansionist NATO (1990) would be the goal, BUT that is de facto WWIII.
NATO disbanding would be great to avoid larger conflict, but it would appear that everyone is in mass hysteria propaganda mode that talks of disbanding NATO permanently will not happen.

What geniuses ?
“Geniuses in power in the West” is not what I would describe the gang of mentally unstable corrupt immoral dross running things.
They have the mentality of a teenage punk gang on the take.
Attempt to rerun old movies. Nothing new.
But what do you expect with Democrats running the US under a clown like Obama and his handler Brennan ? Its African tribe type thinking (Kenyan probably).
Plus those in EU who think like as in 1812 & 1941.
These “geniuses” are so smart they have their own countries divided domestically and will ultimately be subject to a uprising and see them all hanged before too long, just as 2 former corporals found.
Russia I think will prevail.
The sooner Zelensky and his associates are placed in custody the better.
Russia broke the Ukraine, now Russia will own the Ukraine, even if the Ukraine has the pretense of existing as a sovereign nation.
Ukraine’s military forces will now be a modest self-defense operation, with the powers of democracy forbidden from tolerating any ‘Nazi’ elements.
The Ukraine will be free to trade with both Europe and Russia, under the protecting gaze of ‘Mama Russia’, assuming Europe will allow this situation. It will be hard for Europe to resist, when Europe wants to heat its houses, and have grain for its bread!
It is not that hard is it? Just what was the war for again?
Russia did not broke the Ukraine, they did not bomb factories like Nato did in Yugoslavia. Ukraine destroyed their own manufacturing thanks to the EU association agreement the junta signed after the US backed Nazi coup.
Putin said before the war that Ukraine would lose its statehood in case of war. That may not be his first preference, the first preference being “denazification” and “demilitarization” (what a strong term and thing), but for him to say it before the war means he is okay with that too. If Ukraine ends up losing its statehood, many will point to that statement made before the war to say that the real goal was always to make Ukraine part of Russia.

This puts the US in a very difficult position, over a barrel. Iran has successfully beaten sanctions and has no urgent need for JCPOA. They can demand the end of all sanctions, a clean sweep. Already, Republicans and Israel lobby types are upset. It also suggests how tight oil supplies actually are, given that a lot of Iranian oil is already accounted for.

These are indeed very scary, I cannot even think of the amount of devastation from conventional explosion, left alone from nuclear war, even at its small yield, but hundres, or thousands of them.

MOSCOW, March 6. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously to the commander of the battalion of the Donetsk People’s Republic “Sparta” Vladimir Zhoge. This was reported on Sunday by the press service of the Kremlin.
“For heroism and courage shown in the performance of civic duty, to award the title of Hero of the Russian Federation to Zhoge Vladimir Artemovich (posthumously),” the report said.
On March 5, the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, reported the death in battle of the commander of the Sparta battalion, Vladimir Zhoga. According to him, Joga was mortally wounded, providing an exit from the city of Volnovakha to civilians. Pushilin awarded Joga the title of Hero of the Donetsk People’s Republic posthumously.
The Sparta battalion was created in 2014, participated in the battles for Slavyansk and Donetsk airport.

The US doesn’t do “continental warfare” as the house military commentator emphasizes over and over. Not, though, because it doesn’t understand it, but because it is irrelevant to the US Empire. The US does economic war and “hybrid” war: subversion, corruption, chaos, division and insurgency by proxies. The Russians no doubt understand this and have plans to counter it. The outcome of the “continental war” is not in doubt. The impact of the insurgency that follows remains to be seen. At this point things seem to be unfolding as the US hoped. Of course I wish the Russians well.
Remember we were promised a major ‘insurgency’ in Georgia and Chechnya too, and yet those countries were brought to heel fairly fast.

The powers that be, through their frontman Joe Biden and his cabinet, in lock-step with BoZo and company, and the west’s media propaganda machine, went to an awful lot of trouble to start this war. They just would not give up. Would their next move be to force NATO’s hand to get directly involved through a false flag? This might serve to get the public outraged enough to consent to direct military action. Of course the il-informed public don’t get the devastating consequences of a direct military confrontation with Russia. Something tells me the evil ones are far from done yet.

This number is quite shocking if true. Keep in mind for comparison’s sake, the CIA gave the taliban about 2000-2500 Stinger missiles in the mid/late 1980’s. This is orders of magnitude more than that. It shows the utter desperation for the empire to truly destroy Russia, and the vast amount of arms presents a real and significant danger.

Russia accuses Ukraine of preparing a nuclear false flag
https://www.rt.com/russia/551384-russia-ukraine-nuclear-false-flag/
The Defense Ministry’s warning comes as Kiev accuses Russia of shelling a nuclear research facility in Kharkov
Ukraine’s domestic security service, the SBU, allegedly conspired with the Azov battalion fighters to stage a false-flag attack in Kharkov, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow claimed on Sunday night. According to the ministry, the Ukrainian ultranationalist militants allegedly rigged a small experimental nuclear reactor at the Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT) with explosives.
“The SBU and the militants of the Azov battalion are planning to blow up the reactor and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly launching a missile attack on the experimental nuclear facility,” the ministry said in a statement, warning of a risk of radioactive contamination of the area should such a false flag incident take place.
Earlier on Sunday, Ukraine’s Internal Affairs Ministry already accused Russian forces of shelling the city, claiming that at least one projectile hit the KIPT, which hosts an experimental neutron source reactor with “37 nuclear fuel elements loaded into its active zone.” In its Facebook post, the security service also shared several videos of what it claimed to be the Grad multiple rocket launcher shells hitting the perimeter and damaging the side of the building.
There were no reports of any radioactive contamination or leaks from the alleged incident in Kharkov, but Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzheppar tweeted that “the destruction of nuclear materials installations and reserves could lead to a major technological and ecological disaster,” and accused Russia of “war crimes.”
What else does the Ukrainian regime want?
This question could just as well have been asked to the German regime at the end of 1944…
The new Western Main Stream Media mantra that is now repeated on each MSM channel multiple times a day is:
“Putin Is A War Criminal”
My guess is that the definition of “war criminal” that is assigned to Putin would also fit Tony Blair, both Bushs, Clinton, Obomber, as well as their Secretaries of State and Defense, and all of the Pentagon Chiefs of Staff.
But watch:
Russian = War Criminal
West = Beacon of light for Freedom and Democracy and “collateral damage” is “worth the price.”
Everything that Putin is accused of doing needs to be turned around and applied to those listed above. But, if the ICC show interest in US and NATO war crimes? Then the US will sanction those judges in the ICC. Funny how that works ‘eh?
Russia doesn’t recognize ICCs authority – she withdrew her signature. Ironic it may seems – the same is true for US.

This is a headline just now in the west, at the same time the research reactor false flag story is a headline on RT. Coincidence? Probably not. Pay attention.
What is the difference between “cauldron” and “encirclement”?
Isn’t the term encirclement easier to understand?
Ukrainian forces in Donbass is being encircled by Russian forces. I find that easier to read and comprehend.
The military terms “cauldron” and “environment” are synonymous.
Boiler/Netherlands Ketel / German kessel – shorter and traditional. The tradition of use originates from the military campaigns (fr.) of Emperor Peter I.
The term “cauldron” received its second birth in the Great Patriotic War with the Third Reich (Nazi Europe).
What is your take of this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppD_bhWODDc&t=1603s
The most important comment in the interview was made by Dr Theodore Postol (MIT), who is a leading US expert on missile defense systems. He pointed out that Russia does not have nearly the same Early Warning System satellite coverage capabilities as does the US. He considers this to increase the danger of a false warning of (nuclear) attack believed to be true, since Russia is unable to see exactly what is happening over US ICBM fields at certain times of the day.
I have seen discussions in the US by military people who advocate moving US strategic bombers around to various bases during the times when Russia does not have good coverage of the US. This is, of course, delusional thinking by people who apparently think they can ‘win’ a nuclear war with Russia. But it is important to understand that is the caliber and mindset of many in positions of leadership in the US.

All humanitarian corridors imply a choice of exit direction and offer residents of cities to go both to the Ukrainian side and to the Russian side.
To prevent provocations, the entire process of the withdrawal of civilians will be recorded by drone video cameras.
The withdrawal of the population will be carried out in four directions:
▪️ from Kyiv:
Kyiv – Gostomel – Rakovka – Sosnovka – Ivankov – Oranoe – Chernobyl – Gden (Belarus) – Gomel (Belarus). From there – delivery by air transport to the Russian Federation;
▪️ from Mariupol:
route number 1: Mariupol – Novoazovsk – Taganrog – Rostov-on-Don. From there – by air, rail and road transport to selected destinations or points of temporary accommodation;
route number 2: Mariupol – Portovskoye – Mangush – bypassing Nikolskoye – Republic – Rozovka – Bilmak – Pologi – Orekhov – Zaporozhye;
▪️ from Kharkov:
Kharkov – Nekhoteevka – Belgorod. From there – by air, rail and road transport to selected destinations or points of temporary accommodation;
▪️ from Sumy:
route number 1: Sumy – Sudzha – Belgorod. From there – by air, rail and road transport to selected destinations or points of temporary accommodation;
route number 2: Sumy – Golubovka – Romny – Lokhvitsa – Lubny – Poltava.
Losses of the Ukrainian side by the end of March 6, 2022

A total of 2262 targets were hit, of which:
▪️ 76 control points and communication centers
▪️ 182 air defense and radar sites
▪️ 239 tanks
▪️ 558 armored vehicles
▪️ 653 units of special equipment and vehicles
▪️ 87 MLRS units
▪️ 279 field artillery and mortars
▪️ 108 aircraft and helicopters (the entire fleet of aircraft before the special operation was 120 pilot aircraft, how many were flying / working is unknown)
▪️ 80 drones
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: SBU is preparing a provocation with radioactive contamination of the area in Kharkov
According to the agency, nationalists mined a reactor at an experimental nuclear facility at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology.
The SBU and Azov battalion militants are planning to blow up a reactor at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of launching a missile attack on an experimental nuclear facility. This was reported on Monday in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation:
“The SBU, together with the militants of the Azov battalion, are preparing a provocation with possible radioactive contamination of the area near the city of Kharkiv. Nationalists mined a reactor at an experimental nuclear facility located at the Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology,” the report says. “The SBU and the militants of the Azov battalion” plan to blow up the reactor and accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly launching a missile attack on an experimental nuclear facility.
On March 6, foreign journalists arrived in Kharkiv to record the consequences of the provocation, followed by the accusation of the Russian Federation of creating an ecological catastrophe.
Earlier, the Russian armed forces, during a special military operation in Ukraine, took control of the Zaporozhye and Chernobyl nuclear power plants. This was done to exclude the possibility of organizing provocations by Ukrainian neo-Nazis or terrorists, as this “is fraught with catastrophic consequences,” the Kremlin’s press service said following a telephone conversation between Russian and French Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.
Commenting on the proposal of the Director General of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) on holding a trilateral meeting (IAEA – Russia – Ukraine) in the Chernobyl zone to create a mechanism for ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities in Ukraine, the President of Russia said that such an idea could be useful in principle, but it would be worth considering holding the meeting via videoconference or in a third country, the Kremlin said.

…but how about before going all nuclear, just simply bomb some of those big fat globalist guys who are now hiding in their private islands somewhere in the Pacific, Caribbean … etc. It might help open their eyes. Thanks.
On Telegram:
The first British mercenaries arrive in Ukraine to take part in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukraine is turning into a large springboard for armed confrontation between Russia and Europe, and the denazification mission is becoming international.
https://t.me/SHTABHDSHNR/5280
My thinking is that since these men aren’t Rus brothers there is no reason for Russia to take them prisoner.Unless of course they’d like to have a trial of them,and then execution afterwards.
Russia already clearly stated mercenaries will not be afforded the Geneva Convention. They will be sent to gulags or shot where they are found.
“The Ukrainian side lost 12,420 people killed, missing and in critical condition. 793 people were taken prisoner.”
Are these RF claims or information coming inside Ukrainian military forces? If they are RF claims we surely should not take figures as whole truth. Military forces never ever know exactly losses of enemy. Infact they normally exaggerated enemy losses. The only real figure might be captured number of Ukrainian soldiers and figure is actually surprisingly low. It’s not good news for RF.
To Mr.Saker. Do you think the US is planning to sneak in or use a stealth fighter like F-35 or
F-22 to bomb the colum of armoured vehicles thinking Russian radars will not be able to detect them? I think a foolish man like Trump has even suggested to use F-22 disguised like a Chinese stealth fighter to bomb the colunm of the armoured vehicles to provoke a Russian , Chinese war. Has Russia stealth radars in Ukraine to resolve such a scenario? I learnt Russia has a stealth detection radar.
“Trump has even suggested to use F-22 disguised like a Chinese stealth fighter to bomb the colunm of the armoured vehicles to provoke a Russian , Chinese war.”
FFS why even repeat such infantile fantasy crap?
“Stealth” doesn’t make you invisible to radar. It primarily makes it more difficult for targeting/fire control radars to acquire a weapons grade lock. To that end, the “stealth” is designed to be most effective against the bands used by those radars: x-band and ku band.
Regular old radars can see them just fine though. The detection range is reduced, but it’s still significant. Generally, lower frequency radars (VHF, HF) will see you from greater distances, but lack the resolution to accurately guide munitions onto the target.
So what you are proposing is near impossible. Any “stealth” aircraft would be seen the moment they crossed into Ukraine. At that point, RuAF would respond with whatever aircraft they have on station. At closer ranges the Russian air defense network would be able to hit them as well.
Also worth mentioning is that the S400 is claimed to be capable of defeating stealth aircraft at longer ranges too. As of now they’ve even been deployed to Belarus.
Do you wish yourself a quick and painful death? In the light and heat from a nuclear explosion, which is guaranteed will Russia send you? We are only “For!”.
“Invisible” is a lie for the taxpayer. Remind me how your “invisible” F-117 in Yugoslavia was shot down by the Serbs using the Soviet P-18 mobile locator of the meter range from the Soviet S-125 Neva air defense system in March 1999? More “invisible” in the sky over Belgrade did not fly. )))
Russia (and China) is being closed by the Integrated Air Defense System (EIS Air Defense) of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
1. Mobile radar stations (RLS) of the meter (decimeter and centimeter) range 104Zh6 with active phased arrays
2. Radar “Resonance-N” – a three-coordinate radar complex of the meter wavelength range and use the principle of wave resonance. Designed to detect, identify, determine the coordinates and movement parameters of a wide class of air targets at long ranges and heights with high resolution, including stealth cruise and ballistic missiles, hypersonic aircraft. Detects aircraft made using stealth technologies, as well as hypersonic targets in a 90-degree sector …
3. S-400 (98Zh6E) S-400 “Triumph” (SA-21 Growler) includes means of combating specialized targets, like stealth aircraft or low-flying targets with terrain envelope, like cruise missiles.
Launchers of anti-aircraft missiles of the S-400 complex
The 96L6E all-altitude detector is a universal complex (all functions), a detection range of 300 km. 40B6M – tower for 92N6E or 96L6E.
The C-400 can be equipped with L-band radars such as Opponent-GE, Gamma-DE, designed to detect stealth targets [42]. Their visibility of stealth aircraft is due to the fact that in the L-band, stealth aircraft have a larger effective reflecting area than in standard ranges. Radar Sky, operating in the VHF band, also has an increased sensitivity to stealth targets. Opponent-GE, Gamma-DE are designed to detect targets with an RCS of about 0.1 m2 at a distance of 240 km with the required accuracy for launching missiles [47]. New versions of the Nebo-M (55Zh6M) system also allow the use of three integrated radars at once in the meter range (Nebo-SVU modification), decimeter (Opponent-G modification) and centimeter Gamma-S1. By combining and superimposing even very weak reflected signals on each other, the system’s computer makes it possible to obtain a complex signature of stealth objects, effectively filtering out natural and artificial interference.
Additionally, the perimeter of the zone protected by the S-400 is reinforced with the Barrier-E complex, which creates a “virtual barrier” from the ground to a height of 3-7 km and a length of up to 500 km and from sections of 50 km. Barrier-E works on the principle of bistatic location “through the light” and, fixing the passage of objects between the masts with the emitter and the remote passive receiver, gives out sectors for firing at targets with an accuracy of 1 degree. With radar “through the light”, the effective scattering surface of targets increases by 100-1000 times and does not depend on the presence of a radar-absorbing stealth coating on them, since the system responds to the “darkening” of the source by the aircraft, and not to the reflection of radio waves from it. The effectiveness of radar “in the light” is so great that non-metallic objects invisible to conventional radars – balloons, etc. are determined by partial radio absorption. Additionally, Barrier-E allows you to detect low-flying targets from 30 meters.
In addition, the coordinates of conventional and stealth targets can be obtained from the radiation of their own radars or aircraft communication systems using the Vega / Orion and Avtobaza-M passive electronic intelligence systems. Electronic warfare modules included on aircraft to interfere with conventional S-400 radars also make it possible to calculate the coordinates of radiation sources. These systems do not emit signals to detect air targets, and Vega uses the method of triangular calculation of the coordinates of radio emission sources by the difference in signal level for three completely passive study receivers, and Avtobaza-M uses the method of more accurate obtaining of a bearing to a radio emission source due to a rotating antenna. Thus, electronic intelligence systems for the S-400 cannot be detected and destroyed by anti-radar missiles. Therefore, tactically, stealth aircraft cannot attack according to their own radar data, as they will be detected and destroyed, and without the ability to destroy the air defense system with retaliatory strikes. Therefore, the stealth aircraft link is forced to receive target illumination from the accompanying AWACS aircraft. At the same time, the AWACS aircraft can be detected by radiation and hit at a distance of 400 km by a specialized 40N6E missile.
Barrier-E, Vega, Avtobaza-M and some versions of Nebo cannot accurately point the missile on their own, but they can determine the target’s azimuth with an accuracy of about 1 degree to turn on the guidance radar as 92N6E, Opponent-GE, Gamma-DE on the target, and the Vega complex provides the guidance radar with data on the electronic warfare devices turned on by the enemy for frequency and power detuning, as well as interference filtering.
S-400 missiles are guided not according to the reflection of the radio beam from the target, but with the help of radio commands and an inertial guidance system, and at a distance of about 10 km, it independently locks on the target using an infrared seeker, similar to MANPADS. Onina can be guided by radar or electronic intelligence to the area where the stealth aircraft is approximately located, and then it can be destroyed due to the fact that it is virtually impossible to hide the powerful infrared radiation of the engines, and the missile will capture the target in the optical range
the problem is the scale of the operation this implies. A single f-22 can carry only a few bombs and can kill what, 1 or 2 trucks by itself. So let’s say this mythical 40 mile long convoy exists (it’s already been debunked) with thousands of trucks. How many F-22’s do you think you’d need to take it out? Probably hundreds of them. Such a massive mission is physically impossible for U.S. to carry out and they don’t even have the assets in the theatre to do it. If they did then the mass amount of craft would be detected by sheer infrared (heat signatures in the sky) alone, not to mention many other methods
The Saker, do you consider Igor Strelkov to be a loyalist, or 6th column?
On his Telegram channel he is lamenting that the Kremlin has tied the hands of the offensive and not committed enough troop strength to control the territory and win quickly.
A search here on Strelkov will answer your question – the Saker has written about this, as have many others. Strelkov is an idiot and not helpful.
I posted the following on Moon of Alabama in 3 comments so am cross-posting it here as one single post. I could have written them here first but was there randomly this morning. No slight intended and both sites are worth following equally. Andrei and b both do excellent work.
Regarding bioweapons and the labs in Ukraine the actual labs might be explained as performing infectious disease work and the agents isolated from endemic infections. This comes under the “dual-use” clause of the Bioweapons Convention. Working with biothreat agents is not a crime IF it is being done to develop vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics or to conduct endemicity/epidemiological work. I will say working in that exact field doing that exact work in similar labs that the majority of the work performed will be perfectly legal. But, what caught my eye several years ago was a contract by DTRA to collect and analyze ONLY Russian DNA samples. That can only be for nefarious purposes. The holy grail for a bioweapon is to have a genetically designed organism that only infects/kills a specific group of people and that work was pursued in South Africa and Israel previously without success.
I will add that bioweapons in of themselves are pretty useless. They make a good terror weapon and can if used carelessly get out of control. Only a few are useful for a battlefield scenario. The worst ones are the ones that don’t kill but incapacitate large groups of people for long periods of time such as Brucellosis. This is incredibly easy to distribute, has a very low infectious dose, and treatment requires weeks of IV antibiotics. Worse, if animals are infected all must be tested and all herds culled. That is the real danger of biowarfare usually overlooked by people not used to thinking about these weapons. Killing people is a lot easier using other means but starving people by removing their food sources is much more evil. Very little notice is given regarding agricultural bioweapons which is where the real dangers lie and mostly due to our own regulations for control of animal diseases that require them (and the entire herds) to be killed once diagnosed.
So, my caution is that having these labs might be innocent if only used for dual-use purposes and doesn’t indicate anything at all unless strains and experiments were made/performed that are outside the rules for these labs. This will require years of examining isolates and lab notebooks if they are available and only by people who are experts in this. Unless this data is located and proven then these labs are a nothing burger. Maybe workers inside the labs can help if they are sympathetic but this may prove to be impossible.
I will add that Alibek himself played the US government to the tune of many millions to fund his nutty work all of which ended in failure. He is a supreme con artist. The last I heard he was working in Ukraine so it is easy to connect the dots. If I am right then he once again played the US well and made many more millions in the process laughing all the way to the bank. Ukraine has been a gravy train for the US elite for a long time now.
The US is now run by complete idiots which should be very obvious by now if you look at the Coronavirus response and the insane Foreign Policy decisions. The Russians must be completely aghast facing such dreaded intellectual foes like Nuland, Blinken, BoJo, Biden, Pelosi, etc. It is a long and exhaustive list and it gets worse with the EU. I think in the history of mankind we have never seen such a perfect storm of rabid Russophobes with such low intelligence. The only good side to this is this entire debacle has exposed the collective west to be dangerous and agreement incapable and worse can act irrationally against any country they don’t like. I believe a large part of the world is watching this in horror thinking they might be next.
If I were to look deeply into these labs I would focus on work involving plant diseases such as wheat rust etc. Russia is a major wheat producer so very vulnerable to something like that. I will add that the people at DTRA get all excited thinking about Soviet Bioweapon strains and the belief (mostly because of Ken Alibekov’s insane and frankly unbelievable stories unless you work for the CIA) that they have all these weird and bizarre strains. They have been on an unending search for these mythical strains and fund ridiculous amounts of research looking for them. The host countries enjoy playing them along all the while getting never-ending funding and nice shiny new labs to perform the real work which is epidemiological surveillance which they have been doing for over 100 years now and still conduct this work as usual. Better if you can get some gullible country like the US to pay for it. They believe any fantastic story when it comes to Russians. It is comical to watch.
Thank you, Old Microbiologist. Your input regarding this obscure area is well appreciated.
I’m currently working on a grant proposal / business case for phage control of bacterial pathogens – so bacteriophage and / or mycophage preparations.
There’s a lot of interest in this area, especially since the organisms are ecologically benign, and the risk of contamination insignificant. Of course phage research has been ongoing in Russia / Georgia for a very long time and the West is only just starting to wake up!
Question for Saker:
How much of the fighting in percentage is being done by the Donbass Russians and how much by Russia?
Is it true that Russians are using lots of old military equipment?
Thanks in advance for your response!
True, but our “old” is your “newest” and “promising”. )))
“How much of the fighting in percentage is being done by the Donbass Russians and how much by Russia?”
– 0, zero percent of “Russian-speaking” so-called. forces of the people’s militia of the LDNR are involved in direct hostilities. They are rear guards and are engaged in maintaining public order, they enter the settlements liberated by the RF Armed Forces.
Still sometimes we use the firepower of the artillery and armored vehicles transferred to them, but the local “policemen” never went out to the distance of the aiming range of small arms with the enemy.
They are needed only for the picture in the media, there is almost no sense from them. In addition to PR for the Kremlin.
Today they have not a single combat irretrievable and sanitary loss. There are only 1 (one) from a drug overdose.
Believe only real video, it is always recorded on cameras.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45hYR7RzriM
“Serbs? I doubt it.”
And rightly so, that you do not believe – this is a lie.
For non-Nazi Ukraine, mercenaries from NATO member countries – Albania and Croatia are fighting … In general, the Fourth Reich.
Absolutely correct – Serbs have been fighting as volunteers for the DNR/LNR since the war began in 2014. The Russian MoD has reported on Croatian volunteers & mercs on the Ukronazi side, as has the Russian MoFA, a large number were reportedly captured alive, I think in Mauriopol, but am not certain. Reports from Kosovo-Metohija that Albanian UCK terrorists are seeking to volunteer to fight against Russia in Ukraine. This is exactly 4th Reich, & that is what NATO & the Trans-Atlantic Empire always was, a manifestation of the 4th Reich.
The hysteria in the UK is unprecedented. COVID is now largely forgotten and all you hear is RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, BAD, EVIL! The local hospital put out an email to its employees for a moment of silence for the victims in the conflict, mentioning the cancer patients that had to flee and won’t have treatment among others
My only thought was “where was this level of consideration for the people of Donbass the past eight years?!”
I avoid discussing the matter with people I know as they have no clue and indeed come across as completely infantile, merely parroting talking points from BBC, SKY, etc.
I did tell someone that the UK is a chihuahua barking at a bear. It poses no real threat but makes a lot of noise. The bear is patient but may eventually become annoyed to take a swipe at it, likely killing it. People should pray the bear’s patience holds.
4 years ago I composed this tune. Rather prophetic?

The term “special military operation” does imply that civilian casualties should be minimized, as does the Russian banning of the term “invasion” most recently. Ukranian public opinion is important for it. One Ukranian negotiator who participated in the first meeting between the two countries was murdered within days of the meeting. Prior to his death, his name had not been listed as one of the Ukranian meeting representatives. This means that in the meeting he said things the others didn’t like. The rumor is that he was pro-Russian or, looked another way, the realist among them. More than one died for the same reason. The “special military operation” must have no time deadline or even parameter, because with every day that passes under such trying circumstances, more people will think critically, i.e., why did he say he wanted a nuclear bomb? Why the insistence on joining NATO for security purposes if this is the result, and didn’t it become obvious that this could be the result? How responsible is this government?
People think like that. Needless to say, among those who don’t want to consider such questions, the pressure of war eventually makes only the most fanatical persist in not looking at their own side critically, and the mass of the people are not fanatical. Thus, we know the “special military operation” must wait for this process to play itself out before using maximum force, which they will do when they think only fanatics (“Nazis”) oppose them.

There is no reactor at UPTI (at the Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology) and never has been. There is a stellarator and a small Tokomak, not a reactor.
There is also an accelerator that has not been working for a long time with grams of fissile materials at a depth of nine meters. How can it be undermined?
This, of course, does not exclude provocations. For example, they will shit / pollute with radioactive waste and put the blame on Russia
Ze made 2 mistakes:
1. He has allowed himself to become the stick to poke the bear, for whatever reasons. The stick get crushed and they will just find another stick to replace, sooner rather than later.
2. He blabber mouth a lot about lack of support from the West. Showing frustration. That is a huge red flag. You don’t talk bad about your boss’s boss because that is a sign that Ze could talk more and could spill all the beans. A no no.
These are classic paradox of being a useful idiot. You are important for a moment in time but you are not so indispensible aftee all. Useful idiot always have expiry date. And compounded by the fact that Ze is fast becoming more of a liability.
So if Ze is still in Kiev or Kyiv, he is fast approaching his expiry date. Ze is basically a walking dead. The ending probably as dramatic as being so called “martyred” or simply “epstiened”. Either way it will be blamed on Russia.
Majority of population in the West is against going to war. Anglo-Saxon (American, to be previse) strategists envisioned this back in the early 1990s, when they scripted their plans about how to drag first Russia, then China into a war over Ukraine. The master strategists sharply concluded that Russia will have to go to war if Ukraine is to fall into Western hands due to strategical reasons. They projected to finish that until 2011 if fast, till 2025 at least. They’re right in time, though.
In their scenario, they wrote about a leadership of Ukraine, begging for help, but a Europe that is lacking proper understanding won’t help militarily but only with words and Ukraine will be on its own. They anticipated well.
Finally, they concluded Europe will wake up very late, only if attacked itself, whereas they assumed, in case of Ukraine performing well in its defense, China will jump in to help Russia and, in doing so, overrunning both Russia and Europe. In the scenarios, Europe with Anglo-Saxon help will manage to finally struggle down this invasion as a vast part Russia will be obliterated in a fashion that noone there will survive, thus crushing the Chinese supply line.
This is just sick, I’d say. Possibly, a lot of work has been done to make this part of the plan to achieve Anglo-Saxon dominance true, too.
Hope, they figured it out wrongly. I thought they did it with the part involving Ukraine until recently. They were right, though. They mapped out the Russian reaction thirty years in advance.
So, this ain’t no poker. Believing this is underrating the oponent – doing so is the first step of losing it all, all of a sudden.
Unfortunately, the politicians and political parties here in the US could care less what the people want when it comes to war. During elections, candidates will announce they are going to end the endless wars, and, of course, when they get into power, the wars continue. The “defense” budget pushes $1 trillion here in the US, where making weapons seems to be the main industry we have left these days.
Worse news is that most politicians and Americans have very little idea of what nuclear war means.

Something that I’ve noticed: A lot of western-facing websites are trying to collect visitors’ money for Ukraine these days. I wonder how much of that money will actually reach Ukraine. I mean, it’s easy to set up a website “helpukraine.org”, collect some money, then disappear. It’s impossible to really check that the funds really went somewhere. I’m especially doubtful of donating money to Urkainian armed forces. Like, what are they going to do with the money? Hire mercenaries? That’s probably the most realistic scenario.
If anyone is reading this and does entertain some thoughts of donating money to help Ukraine, try to do research first, or donate to internationally-recognized organizations (Red Cross, for example).
Would be an interesting angle to investigate, from a journalistic point of view, if anyone’s up to it.

Kill the olympics and the related corrupt international sports outfits toxicifying international sport, and replace them with honest humans running non political competitions. Wada is the worst and should see their staff prosecuted for their crimes, and lawsuited into destitude.
The US-UK Angloshere Axis has de-platformed RT and Sputnik International, and did so immediately over events in Ukraine. This is, of course, on top of the prolonged US Russophobic hysteria driven by the uS Democratic Party, during the Trump era. When the registering as foriegn agents for any Russian organizations operating in US carry-on was started (note: the same rules were never suggested toward the powerful pro-Israel lobby and political fundraising groups, that are genuinely capable of influencing US election cycle). Accordingly, Moscow should now respond in kind. Not out of knee jerk reactivity, but rather as a timely and considered response.
Allowing the western media to freely operate in Moscow, whilst the same consideration is not reciprocated means a one sided relationship, Not one of balance. The only solution to one sided relationships is to establish firm boundaries. In this instance, the west acts as a hostile entity whilst Russia seeks to treat the west as a partner. Whilst this may be first course of conciliatory action in any toxic relationship, if the other entity consistently refuses to alter their behavior, it is time to shift into second course of action, firm boundaries. This is the only considered response under under current international conditions between Russia and an openly hostile west.

Briefly on Ukraine. 07.03.2022
( Свернуть )
1. Mariupol. The announced evacuation of civilians again did not take place. Thwarted by the Nazis. The DPR announced that it would soon begin cleaning up the city.
2. Volnovakha. There is also no organized exit. The resumption of active cleaning is expected within a day.
3. Kharkov. The announced evacuation of civilians again did not take place. Thwarted by the Nazis. Serious work of artillery and MLRS in the area of Kharkov was noted. The Armed Forces of Ukraine themselves repulsed Chuguyev, in which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did not even enter. The zone of control around Balakliya is expanding.
4. Raisins. Serious fighting around the city. According to Ukrainian sources, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are solving the problem of occupying the city and have already entered it. The capture of Izyum will dramatically worsen the situation for the entire grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas
.
5. Severodonetsk. Fighting continues on the outskirts of Rubezhne. Severodonetsk itself is not stormed head-on.
6. Slavyansk-Kramatorsk. In the area of the agglomeration, several strikes were inflicted on the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The route Izyum – Slavyansk has not yet been cut.
7. Zaporozhye. The Russian Armed Forces have approached Gulyaipol and are moving to the east of it to the north and north-east, to the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas. The enemy continues to bend the front to slow down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces.
8. Nikolaev. Sporadic fighting and MLRS shelling continued on the outskirts of the city. The city itself is not completely blocked. There is no progress towards the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant in the Voznesensk area yet.
9. Kyiv. Fighting continued to the west of the city plus the Russian Armed Forces are gradually consolidating control over Bucha. Irpin under the APU. From the east, there were clashes near Brovary (the Russian Armed Forces did not enter the city). Chernihiv and Sumy without much change. The local leadership, under the threat of shooting, does not let residents through humanitarian corridors.
10.Odessa. No major changes. The paratroopers were not landed. Never planted, rather frightened by a potential threat.
Today, negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine are expected in Belarus. Russia insists on its main demands – recognition of Crimea, recognition of the LDNR, demilitarization, denazification + non-aligned status. The expected breakdown of negotiations by Ukraine is likely to lead to an intensification of hostilities in the next day, and at night or in the morning we should expect missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine. On Saturday, the second phase of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces will begin within 48-72 hours

+++++++++++
12th day of the WAR.
There is less and less reliable information from the fronts. Accordingly, there are not enough materials for summaries either.
Briefly (from north to south):
Kyiv front – fierce battles continued in the area of the city of Bucha and in the city itself (a suburb of Kyiv). The results are not known. Most likely, the Russian troops have achieved local successes, but so far no more.
Central Front (Chernigov-Kharkov):
On the right flank – nothing intelligible. On the left – fighting continued in the Kharkov region and north of Izyum. To all appearances, the RF Armed Forces have not yet achieved decisive successes here either, although they continue to conduct offensive operations.
Donetsk front.
No significant changes. Yesterday, fighting continued all day in the Volnovakha area and in the city itself, as well as to the northwest.
Southern front.
The right flank – there were no new reports of advance in the Gulyai-Polye area and in the direction of Zaporizhzhia yesterday.
The central part (direction to Krivoy Rog) is similar.
Left flank – tactical defeat of the RF Armed Forces near the city of Voznesensk and withdrawal from the southern part of the city and the adjacent area as a result of a strong counterattack by an enemy strike group deployed from the north. Apparently, several divisions were broken. And (presumably – based on the analysis of videos posted by the enemy) – for the most part – as a result of the complete lack of fuel and lubricants in our units. Losses in manpower, probably, are small, in equipment, they are rather painful not by the real number of losses, but by the way enemy propaganda presents it.
General conclusion:
As noted in previous reports, an acute shortage of front-line units and subunits did not allow the development of initial operational successes and led, first, to a “slip” of further progress, and now to its actual attenuation. My yesterday’s assessment of “an inflated bubble” on the left flank of the Southern Front came true faster than I could have imagined, and in the most unpleasant way.
Apparently – today, during completely senseless and obviously equally fruitless negotiations – the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the LDNR will carry out the necessary regroupings.
However, the enemy will certainly take advantage of the pause and the “silence mode” for such actions on his part. However, the fighting in the main areas, I am sure, will continue without any “corrections for the negotiations.”
In the event that the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation does not continue to draw obvious conclusions regarding the need to multiply the strengthening of our group fighting in Ukraine, I believe the urgent task of completely defeating the Armed Forces of Ukraine and liberating Novorossia and Little Russia from the Nazis is impossible (with available forces).
Occasional Poster, not so sure that I agree with you there. Here where I live in the UK nobody, but nobody is talking about it. Looks to me as though the football takes precedent at the moment. On the 2nd day of the Russian Military Exercise in Ukraine the French were out in huge numbers on the streets, and I mean massive numbers, protesting against the Passe Sanitaire – that’s how interested they are in the Ukraine. What I think has happened is that, coming off the back of the industrial levels of propaganda and censorship imposed during Covid, people can’t be bothered to listen any more. Things are almost back to as normal as they can be. People are booking their holidays, getting back to work etc. I think there has been propaganda overload here and for me, whether it looks like it or not, they are having to get ever more desperate about the images they use because they are losing the propaganda war.
The French national fascists were the last defenders of the Reichstag and the Reich Chancellery!
Berlin was defended by the French division of the SS “Charlemagne” (“Charlemagne”), the Belgian divisions of the SS “Langemark” and “Wallonia”.
On April 29, 1945, for the destruction of several Soviet tanks, a young native of Paris from the SS Charlemagne division, Unterscharführer Eugene Valo, was awarded the Order of the Knight’s Cross, becoming one of his last cavaliers.
On May 2, a month before his 22nd birthday, Vajo died on the streets of Berlin. The commander of the LVII battalion from the Charlemagne division, Haupsturmführer Henri Fene, wrote in his memoirs:
“On May 1, the French continued to fight on Leipziger Strasse, around the Air Ministry and at Potsdamer Platz. The French SS “Charlemagne” became the last defenders of the Reichstag and the Reich Chancellery.
On the morning of May 2, following the announcement of the surrender of the capital of the III Reich, the last 30 Charlemagne fighters out of 300 who arrived in Berlin left the Reich Chancellery bunker, where, apart from them, no one was left alive.
Along with the French, the Reichstag was defended by the Estonian SS. In addition, Lithuanians, Latvians, Spaniards and Hungarians took part in the defense of Berlin”.
“Нацистское подразделение «Легион французских добровольцев» было сформировано уже в июле 1941 году. Начиная с июля 1941 года в Центральный комитет LVF обратилось больше 13000 добровольцев. Легион формировался из добровольцев, придерживавшихся крайне правой и расистской идеологии, веривших, что на них возложена почетная миссия – освободить мир от большевизма.
Полковое знамя было трехцветным французским и приказы так же отдавались на французском языке. Но все добровольцы должны были принимать присягу на верность Адольфу Гитлеру.
6 ноября 1941 года французские боевые подразделения в составе Вермахта из Смоленска пешком направились к Москве. Битва под Москвой тяжело сказалась на легионерах. Общие потери личного состава достигали 1000 человек.
В ноябре 1941 года под деревней Бородино, как и в 1812 году, опять сошлись в бою русские и французы – 32-я дивизия полковника В.Полосухина и 638-й Французский пехотный полк.
«Легион французских добровольцев» воевал под Москвой, отличился в карательных операциях против белорусских партизан в 1942 году. Позднее Французский легион слили с другим добровольческим формированием – «Трехцветным легионом».
Это подразделение прославилось тем, что 25 июня 1944 года предотвратило разгром группы армий «Центр», остановив танковый прорыв советских войск на реке Бобр. Некоторые историки полагают, что данная операция была наиболее успешной операцией французских коллаборационистов в ходе войны. За 48 часов боев им удалось уничтожить, по меньшей мере, 40 советских танков.
В сентябре 1944 года на базе «Трехцветного легиона» была создана дивизия СС «Шарлемань», которой предстояло, в буквальном смысле слова, проводить Третий Рейх в последний путь.
Сначала французских головорезов в феврале 1945 направили в Польшу противостоять наступлению Красной Армии. Однако во время разгрузки ее в Померании она была атакована частями 1 Белорусского Фронта. В боях в районе Коэрлин французская дивизия потеряла более половины личного состава и была выведена для перегруппировки на Запад.
Командир дивизии Крукенберг, заявил своим солдатам, что они освобождаются от присяги и могут отправляться домой. Тем не менее, около 700 человек добровольно изъявили желание участвовать в обороне Берлина. Созданный из остатков дивизии штурмовой батальон «Шарлемань» стал последним регулярным немецким формированием, вошедшим в Берлин накануне штурма.
В ночь с 23 на 24 апреля 1945 г. командир дивизии СС «Шарлемань» Brigadeführer Густав Крукенберг получил в Нойштрелице срочную телеграмму из берлинской Рейхсканцелярии с приказом немедленно явиться на защиту столицы Рейха.
В рядах французской дивизии, насчитывавшей в начале 1945 г. около семи с половиной тысяч бойцов, к тому времени оставалось не более 1100. Из пожелавших прекратить борьбу был создан трудовой батальон, а из решивших сражаться до конца трех сотен Крукенберг сформировал штурмовой батальон, вместе с которым 24 апреля на девяти грузовиках отправился в Берлин. В столицу Рейха им удалось прорваться через северо-западные пригороды в Науэне за несколько часов до того, как советские войска полностью замкнули вокруг города кольцо блокады.
Вслед за тем штурмбатальон «Шарлемань» под постоянными советскими бомбардировками выдвинулся на восток Берлина в район Neuköln, где вступил в бой с наступающей Красной Армией.
После нескольких ожесточенных контратак на Hasenheide и аэродроме Tempelhof французы 26 апреля передвинулись на запад через канал Landwehr и, ведя в последующие дни тяжелые оборонительные бои с многократно превосходящими силами Красной Армии в районе Kreuzberg, постепенно отступали в центр города к Рейхстагу и бункеру Рейхсканцелярии.
Во время этого последнего, бессмысленного и беспощадного боя вокруг бункера Рейхсканцелярии и Рейхстага, французы еще раз доказали теперь уже никому не нужную эффективность. По воспоминаниям немцев, французы дрались до последнего, защищая Рейхсканцелярию совместно с датчанами и норвежцами из дивизии СС «Нордланд».
За день боев 28 апреля в Берлине было уничтожено 108 советских танков, из них 62 – тремя сотнями бойцов «Шарлемань». Четыре бойца батальона были удостоены рыцарского железного креста 29 апреля на одной из последних церемоний награждений в Рейхе, который уже перестал существовать. Остатки батальона мелкими группами пытались просочиться из Берлина. Около 30 человек были взяты в плен Красной Армией и переданы французским властям. Группа из 11 человек была арестована французской армией уже на территории Франции.
Только утром 2 мая, вслед за объявлением о капитуляции немецкой столицы, последние 30 бойцов «Шарлеманя» из 300 прибывших в Берлин покинули бункер Рейхсканцелярии, где кроме них уже не оставалось никого живого.
Точных цифр о том, сколько же французов воевало против СССР на Восточном фронте, нет, есть только данные о пленных французах – в советском плену было 23 136 человек граждан Франции.
Подводя итоги, можно сказать, что Франция принимала активное участие в войне против Советского Союза, французски.”

Yandex-translation from mod:-
“The Nazi unit “Legion of French Volunteers” was formed already in July 1941. Since July 1941, more than 13,000 volunteers have applied to the LVF Central Committee. The legion was formed from volunteers who adhered to an extreme right-wing and racist ideology, believing that they were entrusted with an honorable mission – to liberate the world from Bolshevism.
The regimental banner was tricolor French and orders were also given in French. But all volunteers had to take the oath of allegiance to Adolf Hitler.
On November 6, 1941, French combat units as part of the Wehrmacht from Smolensk went on foot to Moscow. The battle near Moscow took a heavy toll on the legionnaires. Total losses of personnel reached 1000 people.
In November 1941, near the village of Borodino, as in 1812, the Russians and the French again came together in battle – the 32nd division of Colonel V. Polosukhin and the 638th French Infantry Regiment.
The “Legion of French Volunteers” fought near Moscow, distinguished itself in punitive operations against the Belarusian partisans in 1942. Later, the French Legion was merged with another volunteer formation – the “Tricolor Legion”.
This unit became famous for the fact that on June 25, 1944, it prevented the defeat of Army Group Center by stopping the tank breakthrough of Soviet troops on the Beaver River. Some historians believe that this operation was the most successful operation of the French collaborators during the war. In 48 hours of fighting, they managed to destroy at least 40 Soviet tanks.
In September 1944, on the basis of the “Tricolor Legion”, the SS division “Charlemagne” was created, which was, literally, to conduct the Third Reich on its last journey.
First, in February 1945, French thugs were sent to Poland to resist the Red Army offensive. However, while unloading it in Pomerania, it was attacked by units of the 1st Belorussian Front. In the battles in the Koerlin area, the French division lost more than half of its personnel and was withdrawn to regroup to the West.
The division commander, Krukenberg, told his soldiers that they were being released from the oath and could go home. Nevertheless, about 700 people volunteered to participate in the defense of Berlin. Created from the remnants of the division, the Charlemagne assault battalion became the last regular German formation to enter Berlin on the eve of the assault.
On the night of April 23-24, 1945, Brigadeführer Gustav Krukenberg, commander of the SS Charlemagne Division, received an urgent telegram from the Berlin Reich Chancellery in Neustrelitz with an order to immediately come to the defense of the Reich capital.
In the ranks of the French division, which numbered about seven and a half thousand fighters at the beginning of 1945, by that time there were no more than 1100. From those who wished to stop the struggle, a labor battalion was created, and from those who decided to fight to the end of three hundred, Krukenberg formed an assault battalion, together with which he went to Berlin on April 24 on nine trucks. In the capital of the Reich, they managed to break through the northwestern suburbs in Nauen a few hours before the Soviet troops completely closed the blockade ring around the city.
After that, the Charlemagne assault battalion, under constant Soviet bombing, moved to the east of Berlin to the Neuköln area, where it engaged the advancing Red Army.
After several fierce counterattacks at Hasenheide and Tempelhof airfield, the French moved west across the Landwehr Canal on April 26 and, fighting heavy defensive battles with the vastly superior Red Army forces in the Kreuzberg area in the following days, gradually retreated to the city center to the Reichstag and the Reich Chancellery bunker.
During this last, senseless and merciless battle around the bunker of the Reich Chancellery and the Reichstag, the French once again proved their now useless effectiveness. According to the memoirs of the Germans, the French fought to the last, defending the Reich Chancellery together with the Danes and Norwegians from the SS division “Nordland”.
During the day of fighting on April 28, 108 Soviet tanks were destroyed in Berlin, 62 of them by three hundred Charlemagne fighters. Four soldiers of the battalion were awarded the Knight’s Iron Cross on April 29 at one of the last award ceremonies in the Reich, which has already ceased to exist. The remnants of the battalion in small groups tried to infiltrate from Berlin. About 30 people were captured by the Red Army and handed over to the French authorities. A group of 11 people was arrested by the French army already in France.
Only on the morning of May 2, following the announcement of the capitulation of the German capital, the last 30 Charlemagne fighters out of 300 who arrived in Berlin left the bunker of the Reich Chancellery, where no one else was left alive.
There are no exact figures on how many Frenchmen fought against the USSR on the Eastern Front, there is only data on French prisoners – there were 23,136 French citizens in Soviet captivity.
Summing up, we can say that France took an active part in the war against the Soviet Union, France.”
Readovka Report that 81. Air assault brigade has broken through the defensive lines at Izyum. If true, this means the Caldron is closed.
Izyum was the last place the nationalists were trying to hold to keep their units supplied in the Eastern region from the West.
https://m.readovka.news/news/90463
The 81st Brigade are Ukrainians and the Russians have broken through them.
Izyum has been released, now we will begin to defeat the northern part of the Donetsk Front with the simultaneous destruction of the AFU grouping in Gulyaipole. What does the de-occupation of the Left-bank sati of Ukraine mean.
Wow. Karl Denninger at The Market Ticker just gave a blistering criticism of our (I’m American) excuse for a foreign policy.

I don’t see how Poland, as a staging ground for mercenaries/jihadis, is excluded from being a participant. Unsubstantiated rumor: Us has meteorologists and weather weapon-types at the big NPP and have been waiting for the winds to move east and south east before directing the Ukies to blow the thing up.
Regarding a “loss of statehood”, Vladimir Putin said it could happen if the government continues on its present course. So, his first preference was to avoid a war and see the Minsk agreements succeed. Once this was not possible, his second preference became “denazification and demilitarization”, and these two terms imply the permanence of a Ukranian state. Failing that, we learned that his third preference is making Ukraine a part of Russia, implying that if only fanatics (“Nazis”) can be found in the government and in the army, Russia is not willing to find Ukranian leaders to organize a new state for Ukraine; at that point, it prefers to just make it a part of Russia. Although I think the army wasn’t mentioned, “the loss of statehood” message must be for them too. It tells them, indirectly, that they have a role to play in the actual fight to preserve their statehood, properly understood.
@ tranquilocomp
Good points.
Putin has been prodding 404’s army to take a leadership role from the beginning, however, as you can see with the negotiations and evacuations, Ukronazis are in control. Russia has planned different scenarios as an outcome from the special military operation, the ball is in 404’s court. As of right now, they are between a bear and a drug addict mafia who lost their soul long ago. Russia will need to clean the landscape from them, fertilize the soil, then attempt to build a new Ukraine out of the ashes.
In the meantime, the people suffer…

I do not know if this ukraine dust up is a furtherance of the globalist agenda but i do believe that russians have never burdened me with high taxes, forced vaccinations, brainwashing through schooling and media, bombing of far off countries and their people whom I have never met, infiltration of far off countries to launch takeover coups and the list of crimes against the people of america and the far off countries is longer still. Every country has their bad eggs but the eggs of the west are really the most rotten of the bunch. May these bad eggs get trashed so that peace, love and harmony will prevail in our time.
Where are the huge ammunition dumps that are supplying Nazi artillery; the Soviet era weapon stores are clearly not in the basement of blocks of flats? I am sure the Russians must have maps.
How are the big guns being supplied?
If it is tunnels, draw a straight line between any known ammunition dumps, and the firing positions, and straddle that line with bunker busters.

Russian Armed Forces entered Izyum
In the evening there were reports that our Armed Forces had been dislodged from Izyum (although there are reports that there is still some resistance in the southern districts of the city), where part of the 81st Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which had retreated from the city and is now covering it with artillery and mortars, was defending in the city. The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were actively covered by aviation.
Raisins are of decisive importance for the entire northern part of the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas.
The highway (now with ends) Kharkiv-Izyum was cut. Control over Izyum creates the prerequisites for an attack on Slavyansk from the north-west.
In addition, controlling Izyum, there are opportunities to advance on Pavlograd and Barvenkovo, with the further cutting of the Donetsk-Pavlograd highway, control over which will lead to a complete operational encirclement of all forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas. From the south to the Pavlograd-Donetsk highway are the troops of the Melitopol group, who have already approached Gulyaipol and began to bypass it from the east. Donetsk and Horlivka continue to stoically endure heavy shelling, waiting for the hammer of the Russian Armed Forces to fall on the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
And yes, Izyum is the city from which the ATO began in the Donbas. After 8 years, the war reached where the military phase of the ATO began.

– The price per barrel may exceed $300 if Russian oil is abandoned
– Moscow is concerned about Western statements about the rejection of Russian oil, but has the ability to redirect exports from the European market
Alexander Valentinovich Novak:
https://tass.ru/ekonomika/13997023?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop
“It is absolutely obvious that the rejection of Russian oil will lead to catastrophic consequences for the world market. A surge in prices will be unpredictable – more than $300 per barrel, if not more.
At the same time, it is impossible to quickly replace the volume of Russian oil on the European market, it will take more than one year, and it will be much more expensive for European consumers. In this scenario, they will be the main victims. European politicians should then honestly warn their citizens, consumers, what awaits them and that prices for gas stations, for electricity, for heating will skyrocket. This will affect other markets, including the American one.
Russia is the largest supplier of oil to Europe, which consumes about 500 million tons of oil, of which about 150 million tons, or 30% – from Russia. The country also supplies the EU with another 80 million tons of oil products.
Moreover, everyone knows that the supply of oil and oil products from Russia today is the most competitive for the European market, given the developed oil pipeline infrastructure and logistics of sea deliveries.
Moscow is concerned about the West’s statements about the refusal of Russian oil, but has the ability to redirect exports from the European market.
If you want to refuse the supply of energy resources from Russia, please, we are ready for this.
We understand where we can redirect these volumes.
The only question is, who benefits? And why is it needed? Attempts to initiate a discussion on the import ban undermine the fundamentals of the market, create uncertainties and lead to significant damage to consumers,” he said.
Russia both before and today fully fulfills all its obligations, all orders are fulfilled, oil and oil products are shipped as planned. However, we are concerned about the discussions and statements regarding the possibility of imposing an embargo and abandoning Russian oil and oil products. We are also seeing huge pressure on our partners, traders, transport companies, banks and financial institutions.”

– Without the participation of Okraine, the Russian side has so far managed to withdraw 173,773 people from the zones of the special military operation from the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation, including 44,187 children, as well as 19,969 units. personal vehicles.

Urgent statement of the Interdepartmental Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine
Due to the insolvency and inability of the Ukrainian side to ensure the functioning of humanitarian corridors, the situation in a large number of settlements on almost the entire territory of Ukraine, primarily in large cities: Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkov and Mariupol, is rapidly deteriorating and has acquired the character of a humanitarian catastrophe.
At the same time, the Russian Federation provided full training and security on the planned routes during the previously announced humanitarian operations to evacuate civilians and foreign citizens.
Without the participation of Ukraine, the Russian side has so far managed to withdraw 173,773 people from the zones of the special military operation from the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics, Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation, including 44,187 children, as well as 19,969 units. personal vehicles.
Currently, these citizens of Ukraine are in temporary accommodation centers, in hotels, sanatoriums and boarding houses, they are provided with hot meals, the children went to schools, kindergartens, issues of temporary employment are being promptly resolved.
Despite the irresponsible attitude of the Ukrainian side to the life and health of ordinary civilians, including foreigners, the Russian Federation is ready for the next humane steps to withdraw the civilian population from all settlements that have been in a humanitarian catastrophe, as well as to create decent accommodation conditions in Russia for all refugees.
Taking into account the persistent continuous appeals of foreign embassies, as well as numerous direct requests from citizens of Ukraine for evacuation from almost all settlements (such appeals only from March 5 to March 7, 2022 in the official structures of the Russian Federation and in the Interdepartmental Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine more than 2 million (2,000,417) have been documented, the Russian Federation is ready to prepare and conduct a humanitarian operation.
But its effectiveness depends only on the Ukrainian side: the key issues of preparing a humanitarian operation and ensuring the safety of the civilian population, as well as foreign citizens during their evacuation from settlements, where nationalists controlled by Kiev are taking all measures to prevent people from leaving, are completely within the competence of the Kiev authorities .
In order to effectively conduct a humanitarian operation:
1. From 10:00 (Moscow time) on March 8, 2022, the Russian Federation declares a “silence regime” and is ready to provide humanitarian corridors:
from Kyiv and adjacent settlements to the Russian Federation through the territory of the Republic of Belarus to the city of Gomel with subsequent delivery by air transport to the Russian Federation, in a southerly direction – in agreement with the Ukrainian side;
from the city of Chernigov through the territory of the Republic of Belarus to the city of Gomel with subsequent delivery by air transport to the Russian Federation, in a southerly direction – in agreement with the Ukrainian side;
from Sumy on two routes to Poltava and to the territory of the Russian Federation to Belgorod – then by air, rail and road transport to selected destinations or temporary accommodation points, in a southerly direction – in agreement with the Ukrainian side;
from Kharkov to the territory of the Russian Federation to Belgorod – then by air, rail and road transport to selected destinations or temporary accommodation points, to Lviv, Uzhgorod, Ivano-Frankivsk – in agreement with the Ukrainian side;
