Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] From today's statements by Putin on the subject of NWO in Ukraine.
1. The operation is progressing according to plan. All goals set at the very beginning will be achieved.
2. The timing of the operation is determined by the intensity of hostilities and the desire to minimize their own losses.
3. Negotiations with Ukraine reached a dead end, as Ukraine violated the agreements concluded in Istanbul.
4. The decision to start the operation was correct and timely, and the conflict itself was inevitable - Russia was left no choice.
5. The sanctions blitzkrieg against Russia failed, but Russia does not plan to close, and it will not be possible to close it.
6. The USSR, being in sanctions isolation, achieved great success in the space program. Russia will also be able to follow this path.
7. The US plans to fight in Ukraine to the last Ukrainian. Ukraine is a means to an end for the West.
8. The provocation in Bucha is just as fake as the staged chemical attacks in Syria.
9. Russia in previous decades was addicted to Western technology, and now it is facing the consequences.
10. Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are a triune people, part of which is now trying to use the West in their own interests.
We are waiting for the start of the 2nd phase of the operation in Ukraine, which was previously announced by Shoigu.
More from Boris Rozhin:
Surrender of the 36th Marine Brigade in Mariupol
[ColonelCassad] Good news from Mariupol.
It is reported that the enemy forces that defended Ilyich's plant capitulated.
On the night of 10 to 11, they tried to break through, but after suffering heavy losses, they retreated to the factory or scattered around the district (where some of them were killed or captured.
Since they already felt a critical shortage of ammunition and other supplies, they decided to surrender.
The process has already begun.
Sladkov reports that about 1,000 people surrendered, of which 300 were wounded (of which 90 were severe).
Pegov writes about two capitulated battalions and 200 wounded. (The 501st battalion capitulated earlier)
In general, this looks like the largest surrender since the beginning of the war.
From Andrey Chervonets:
Fiasco of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and "Azov" in Mariupol
[Chernovec] Military correspondent Semyon reports urgent news
Two battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered in Mariupol
With the morning, this is almost a thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Captured Marine of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Mariupol told about the deception by the commanders
[Chernovec] The Marine of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who, as part of the convoy, tried to escape from Mariupol, told how they were agitated to try to break through.
That they are expected in the area of ​​Zachatovka (this is in the 30-kilometer rear of the allied forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the DPR, and Zachatovka itself is 50 km from Mariupol).
But there was no help, they were deceived. The fact that another battalion of Marines surrendered a week ago, they also did not know. If such information had reached them, they would have laid down their arms after their colleagues.
By the way, these interviews show that leaflets are not such an outdated propaganda tool. An oversight that needs to be taken into account for the future.
P.S:
Judging by the interrogations of prisoners, 90% of "Azov" is a "support platoon", staffed exclusively by cooks and drivers, with a rank no higher than a sergeant. And as you dig, all eight years in the ATO, awards and gratitude for the killing of civilians.
