Sitrep Operation Z:  Back into The Grind while the penny drops in Europe

Weapons incoming

Russia have struck a major artery for the shipment of NATO weapons from Europe via the Beskidy railway tunnel. The Beskidy Tunnel is a railway tunnel under the Volovets Pass in the Carpathian Mountains. Confirmed by Ukraine itself.

High-precision long-range air-based missiles of the Russian Aerospace Forces have destroyed industrial buildings of the smithy-mechanical plant on the outskirts of Lozovaya (Kharkov Region), where the AFU armoured vehicles were being rebuilt and repaired.

The consequences of the arrival at the Darnitsa car repair plant, which was converted for the repair of equipment and the preparation of Polish tanks for shipment to the front https://t.me/intelslava/30873

Russian Mod states that an An-26 military transport aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force carrying weapons and military equipment was shot down in the Odessa region.

Today, for the detail, we look at the Military Summary Channel, Readovka news as of the end of the 5th of June, and the Russian Mod Briefing of early morning on the 6th.

https://rumble.com/v162oko-ukraine.-military-summary-and-analysis-25.05.2022.html
https://readovka.news/

You may see how fast the information changed over the previous two days, how territories changed hands, and how mapmakers and reporters could not keep up.

Here is a short form video: https://t.me/militarysummary/552

And here is some additional description of what happened around the Severodonetsk / Lysychansk area but kindly check the detail thoroughly for over and under statements:

Readovka – evening of June 5 – frontlines

In the Kharkiv direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a counteroffensive on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces to the north. Fighting has been going on in Tsupovka since yesterday. On the eastern flank there are battles in the area of Ternovaya and near Stary Saltov;

Severodonetsk-Lisichansk-Zolotoe heavy fighting continues. Ukrainian units were forced to retreat immediately 20 kilometers to the rear, in the area of the village of Nagornoye.

There are fights for Vrubovka;

Kamyshevakha is under the control of the Russian and LPR troops. The fighting was heavy, but now the enemy has been driven out of the village;

Artemivsk (Bakhmut). The fight for the Artemivsk-Lisichansk highway is of key importance for all these battles. If the initiative is successfully seized on this transport artery, a huge group of Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries will actually be left without supplies in Lysychansk and Severodonetsk.;

The southern Front today was not marked by fierce battles and the advance of troops-there are sluggish positional battles.

Calibration. In the Kiev region, six strikes were carried out. Some of them are related to infrastructure facilities in Darnytskyi, Dnipro and Brovary districts of the capital. The leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to place T-72 and other military equipment.

In the Mykolaiv region, the Russian Armed Forces inflicted at least five strikes. Strong explosions thundered about five in the morning in Nikolaev and Ochakov. One “calibration” was recorded in Kramatorsk and Slavyansk. In the Kharkiv region, strikes were carried out at the Korotich airfield, where MiG-29 aircraft were transferred according to intelligence data.

Ukrainian militants continue their massive shelling of Donetsk. As a result of a strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Chelyuskintsev mine was destroyed. MLRS shells were observed arriving in the Vostochny microdistrict in Makeyevka. Kremennaya also suffered from the Ukrainian militants-about 30 mines of 120-mm caliber were fired.

The latest Russian Mod Briefing is here:

Human Interest

And a day ago, Russian General Kutuzov was killed in the battles. He personally led his unit into battle.  During his service, Roman Vladimirovich was awarded the Orders of Kutuzov, Courage, “For Military Merit”, Honor, as well as the medal “For Courage”.

Today, in the area of Severodonetsk, Russians killed the battalion commander of the 24th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. (Clearly payback judging by the wide distribution of the news).

A Serviceman of the DPR army Viktor was seriously injured while in Ukrainian captivity. The APU literally slashed the head, neck and chest of the prisoner of war with a bayonet knife. He miraculously survived and now the marine from the 36th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Dmitry Evgan, is a captive of the Russian military.

A major fire broke out at an Orthodox monastery located near the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) town of Svyatogorsk on Saturday. The area is controlled by the Ukrainian military and intense fighting has been reported from the area over the past few days.

Footage from the scene circulating shows the Skete of All Saints engulfed in flames. The sprawling wooden structure was constructed in the late 2000s at the site of the former All Saints Church, which had been destroyed during the Soviet era. Who dun it? Both sides are blaming the other.

Wider World

Rally in Rome – raising the issue of Italy’s withdrawal from NATO.

Israel – local residents remove Ukrainian flags, returning Israeli ones to their place. (While we note this, we also have to express abhorrence against the latest killings of journalists and the grabbing of more territories by the Israelis).

Erdogan states that EU members and other European countries are in a state of “panic” over the influx of refugees from Ukraine.

Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui:  We must put an end once and for all to the hegemony of the United States, with its eternal desire to interfere in the affairs of sovereign states

Medvedev:  Russia’s achievement of the goals of the special operation in Ukraine should lead to the creation of a new non US centric system of international security.

Russia Could Soon ‘Break’ Ukraine’s Defenses – Spiegel: Russian troops could soon wrest the remainder of the Donbass region from Ukraine’s forces, Germany’s foreign intelligence agency, the BND, has warned. (Spiegel)

An interesting report on why Germany will not supply tanks to the Ukraine. Generally someone has remembered some history and they say they cannot again have German tanks on Russian territory: https://www.rt.com/news/556670-germany-tank-ukraine-scholz/

Our general expectation and still forming at the Saker Blog, is that we are going to see very huge changes in Europe first.  The expectation of Gonzalo Lira, that there already may be different blocs trying to negotiate with Russia, and seriously trying to get out of the tentacles of Uncle $cam, has relevance.

It is then also necessary to note the serious games of provocation being played in the South China and East China Seas.  PLA aircraft deal with Canadian, Australian provocative close-in recon in East and South China Seas https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202206/1267316.shtml

This war could have been over months ago, by simply allowing autonomy for the regions of Ukraine that do not want to be under Ukrainian rule. Instead the west and Zeleneski are orchestrating the destruction of Ukraine piece by piece. By the time it is over, Ukraine will be a disaster area, and it will be the fault of the people who are claiming to be supporting it.

How about autonomy for the millions in Ukraine (and at least five other countries ‘annexed for Russia’s safety’ otherwise known as colonialism/imperialism/empire-building and totalitarianism)?

It’s different when we do it, only goes so far.

Ukraines fault? hmm, So ‘they’ invaded Russia did they?

Oh, it’s the Americans/globalists putting a puppet in to … replace Russia’s puppet. The current Ukrainians are corrupt, but just a bit less so than the old regime. NATO on its borders, as they have been, without incident for 70 years. you have no, nada, zero, zilch arguments.

Hint: Putin and Russia aren’t the good guys (just because they’re against the globalist idiots). Putin (remember Schwab citing him as one of the WEF’s Global Leaders or have you successfully memory-holed that inconvenient fact). Putin isn’t against the cabal, he ‘is’ the cabal. (At best it’s a faction disagreement, at it’s part of their plan).

Try considering just what this ‘war’ has allowed them to do. And who enabled it all (that would be Putin for the slow of thinking).

Notice how there’ve been no real attacks inside Russia (minus the two minor right by the border). Now why would an real ‘enemy’ not do that?

Russia is extremely vulnerable, eight men and a couple of truckloads of explosives could leave it a basket-case for years. The real question is why that hasn’t happened.

Putin is irrational; he has imperial ambitions, suffers from paranoia, delusions of grandeur, is obsessed with restoring the USSR… Since his motives are irrational, they cannot be dealt with through rational means such as negotiation, diplomacy, compromise and so on. Putin is a crazy dictator with lots of nuclear missiles and so all we can do is suffer.

Unfortunately for the Anti-Putin crowd, we have been watching this since 2014 when the USA-CIA paid for their Coup (Fuck the EU) and hand picked their corrupt new leader and also placed an American in their leadership. How blatant does it have to be? We saw Putin mention the options for 7 years in numerous speeches, and we saw his speeches turn darker and darker. We saw NAZIES celebrated in Ukraine. We saw Russia develop more capable weapons of mass destruction, as they said they would be forced to. Again, Russia saying what it would do, then following through…we saw this play out in slow motion for nearly a decade and then Putin does what he telegraphed in speeches and all of a sudden everyone is up in arms? We all saw this coming and anyone who is reactionary at this point is not to be believed other than to label them CIA trolls, spreading the latest propaganda.

So now they say russia has played into their hands, the MIC, that is. However, we now see the EU partners splitting off and possibly going away from the USA control. Thus the MIC future sales may be slipping away, instead of growing. Interesting the realities of a world leader that actually follows through on what he says. Other countries should learn from this.

BTW, 88% of the worlds population is against the Sanctions and not only not participating, but inking long term delivery deals with Russia at bargain prices. This puts them into a certain economically stronger future. While the West Burns and the leaders play their fiddles.

Ukraine shelled and killed over 14,000 in its own country long before Russia came into play. As Jdog hinted, this could have been over long before it ever started. History is littered with wars caused by men in suits drawing lines on a map in the green room.

OK, I’ll bite.

So, a region of a country filled with what you claim are a majority of citizens who wish to ‘force’ the separation of that region against the wishes of the nations government and the overall majority of its populace, and then align with another country. That region was infiltrated by thousands of foreign troops (in disguised uniforms, but fully equipped, armed and supplied) who then … stood around entirely peacefully and doing nothing but rescuing kittens from trees and walking little old ladies across busy streets – pull the other one. (Oh, but they only came in to stop the artillery. Yeh, and wet pavements cause rain. Long before ‘you knew/they admitted’ the troops were there maybe, before they were there, not a chance, they had troops there for years and you are well aware of that fact).

That the nation chose to attack to defend its sovereignty and territory (being illegally seized by foreign troops, legally would have been demanding a referendum much like Oh, say like Brexit) and … you arbitrarily decide they’re the bad guys.

Your bias is showing.

Now, what if a region of your own country, populated by a large number of immigrants suddenly decided to secede. If the country those immigrants came from had ‘disguised’ troops en masse aiding/encouraging/performing the insurrection? Just what would you expect ‘your’ government to do?

‘Our’ media and government lies, but Russia never does (according to you), now ‘prove’ there were “over 14,000” killed (and no, Russian media or government claims do not count).

Not saying there weren’t but I trust the honesty of Russian ‘sources’ as much as … your objectivity.

Yes, and a number of others. I spent most of the mid to late eighties, and early nineties … ‘definitely not’ touring parts of Russia and examining far-flung industrial, infrastructure , and military ‘scenic spots’ – honest!.

I wore ‘Argus’ and ‘Not by strength’ (30+ years total). I spent my later years in the sandbox and rockpile (and have a number of ballistic body implants, and some rather artistic scars to show for it).

And yes, I like and respect the Russian people (despair at the farcical, manufactured, political conflict, since arguably we Brits have way more in common, other than language, with them than Americans) but utterly despise their government (past and present, even more than ours).

Orlov is an ass because he hates Americans for the wrong reasons. He hates us because we did (according to him) too little to stop the inevitable.

He’s respectable despite that and his perspective is valid and useful. But I’d have to smack the smug off his face if I ever met him.

No argument here – about Biden, Johnson, Trudeau (or any and every politician in The West). I question whether a dyed in the wool, from the cradle, hard-line, KGB trained, marxist can ever be a real Christian, or whether he’s merely (like Biden’s Catholicism) claiming it as currently useful.

Remember, each and every one of these so called leaders is not only a globalist, but a lifelong marxist too (international socialism has another name you know). as I’ve said, repeatedly, this isn’t enemies fighting, this is a faction fight to decide which will rule over the rest of us.

What the Putin groupies here fail to grasp (not able to see past my cynicism/criticism of their cult leader) is that I agree about how corrupt (arguably much more so than anywhere else, including Russia) our ‘leaders’ (and culture) are. The difference is that I view all of them (Putin, Schwabs celebrated Global Leader merely included) as equally tainted – there are no ‘heroes’ in any position of power, anywhere.

I view the Putin worship as simply childish, no-one is ‘coming to save us’ 9as they so obviously hope), we have to do that ourselves – like adults.

That evil walks amongst us is, I’d suggest, beyond doubt. I simply refuse to ‘choose the lesser evil’ because it remains evil.

(I grow weary of saying it but, the enemy of my enemy is not my friend, he’s my enemy’s enemy. Siding with ‘other’ evil because he ‘seems’ not as bad as ‘our’ evil is not just stupid, but suicidal).

I disagree, not about those western ‘leaders’ you cite (because you’re understating the truth if anything) but that Putin is ‘protecting his people’. He’s protecting himself and his regime (any incidental benefits, of which there are remarkably few, for the people are purely accidental … and all the hardships and suffering are always, predictably, someone elses fault).

The degeneracy of The West is found not only in its elitists, but its institutions (taken over, note, by marxists) and a small, but significant (or at least loud) section of its populations (leftists to a man and woman). Yes, Russia and (I note you don’t mention) most of Eastern Europe are resisting the perverts, but that’s a function of their having less of the the very groups funded and supported in The West by … Russia and China.

(e.g. want to know who the founders and leaders of the ‘climate change’ lobby are? they’re the self-same people who ran CND et al, and were run, funded and supported by Russia.)

We can agree to despise the perverts destroying the West, but why support the very people who produced, and forced their perversions on us in the first place? (and yes, that includes Putin, a former senior member of the KGB, remember).
