Be prepared for a protracted fight, but I don't think so and if it is one, then the Russians will be cleared from most of mainland Ukraine. I believe it will be one of a different nature, with the Ukrainians having some serious advantages. Once they push the untrained and ill-equipped hoard to their borders, they can't come back for a long time, if ever. I think when the Ukrainians attack the Russians, they will cause a panic among them, and most will run from largely empty trench lines.

The Russians lived off the reputation of the WW2 red army and the huge amount of left over obsolete Soviet equipment. The Ukrainians used a lot of the same equipment that they and their eastern European allies had left over until they were reequipped and trained on western arms. They still use a lot of Soviet weapons and equipment and are capturing more of it all the time, but much of it now appears to be used by the territorials and reserve forces.


Let's talk about Russia, Ukraine, and Garland....

Note the simple wire contact switch sticking out the front, this bomb is armed after takeoff using a switch on the controller. It could indicate a DIY shaped charge is being used too and this switch out in front provides the standoff distance. There is little point in attacking armor using an FPV drone without a shaped charge of some kind, even a lightly armored APC.


The Russian fast-moving combat vehicle could not avoid from kamikaze drone

The Russians cannot conduct offensive operations anymore than 50km from their rail heads because of chronic logistical issues and with this war that distance from their railheads has shortened. Uncle Sam is well aware of this shortcoming and has the means to destroy critical rail bridges inside Russia. Sections of track are easy to repair quickly, a rail bridge taken out or even weakened is another matter altogether. This way the Ukrainian government won't get blamed for a long war and it gives them time to convert to a war fighting nation culturally, which they have done rapidly.

Even if Uncle Sam cut off aid tomorrow, it is too late for the Russians, the Ukrainians would still have the all-in support of Easten Europe at least and they will drag places like France in kicking and screaming, if they have to. The idea here is to destroy the Russians ability to project power onto their smaller neighbors for at least a decade or longer, much longer if they don't have meaningful regime change and reform. Vlad must have been mad to give America such an opportunity for retribution after inflicting Trump on them, the CIA, military and national security communities are just fucking delighted with the situation and are gonna take full advantage. Vlad also left his empire wide open to clandestine operations and Ukrainian intelligence is operating like a fucking dating service between western intelligence agencies and Vlad's many enemies. These are internal and external enemies who are fighting Russia in Ukraine and contacts are being made.

The Poles appear to be equipping the Belorussian fighters in Ukraine very well and I'm sure they will have another purpose too. I think this war will end in Belarus, not Ukraine and it will destroy whatever military Putin has left.

With the UK having nuclear submarines, each one of which can completely destroy Russia and reduce its population down to 16 million radiation sickened souls, I doubt they want to commit suicide. They would be in deep shit if they used a nuke in Ukraine but would be dead if they used one on the UK and we never even discussed the French and American responses, all are NATO members.

The UK's only reasonable response is "Come get some."....

Putin instructed the authorities to deal with the outflow of citizens from Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which the Russian authorities must take additional measures to combat the outflow of citizens from the country. The document was published on the official Internet portal of legal information.

“The Russian authorities must take additional measures to ensure that fewer Russians go abroad,” the decree says . Thus, the president supplemented the concept of the migration policy of the Russian Federation, follows from the decree.

Earlier, the head of the city department of economics, Alexei Pryadein, said that the migration outflow against the backdrop of the NWO hit Yekaterinburg. According to him, mobilization could have influenced this.

After the explosion in Melitopol, part of the Zaporozhye region was de-energized
Several settlements in the Zaporozhye region were left without electricity after the explosion in Melitopol. This was reported to the city administration.

“Without electricity, settlements: Voznesenka, Konstantinovka, Trambovka, Novovasilievka,” reported administration of Melitopol in his telegram channel. Currently, emergency power supplies have been launched to maintain the operation of mobile communications.

Earlier it became known that an explosion occurred in Melitopol, protective systems worked at the substation. As a result of the incident, a number of districts were left without power supply - Mikrorayon, Khanda and Krasnaya Gorka, 360 TV channel reports . In addition, it was reported that the deputy minister of the Zaporozhye region survived the assassination attempt in Melitopol.

Russia is ready to become a source of new international law
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear that Russia is faced with the task of becoming a source of new international law. The special operation in Ukraine showed that the agreements work in the interests of one side - the collective West. The current system does not suit many countries. This is how experts comment on URA.RU's speech by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry at a legal forum in St. Petersburg on May 12. According to them, Russia's partners, in particular the SCO countries, should participate in the formation of the new law.

Sergey Lavrov began his speech at the XI St. Petersburg International Legal Forum before the participants of the session “On the Future of International Law” by saying that this topic “sounds relevant”. In his speech, the minister pointed out that the United States and its Western satellites have staked on "putting together a unipolar model of the world order."

“The Western minority decided to replace the UN-centric international legal architecture that was formed as a result of the Second World War with a kind of “rules-based order”. Washington and its allies come up with these "rules" in a narrow circle and interpret each time themselves. Then they are imposed on the world community as mandatory. They are trying to punish those who disagree with the help of various illegitimate tools - from forceful pressure to defamation in the information space, ”Lavrov said.

The Minister also criticized the West's attempts to split the world into "democracy" and "authoritarian regimes" in violation of the key principle of the UN Charter on the sovereign equality of states. Another basic principle of the Charter, non-interference in internal affairs, was also ignored.

He called it "obvious" that the promoted order has a "clearly neo-colonial orientation" and obliges most people to follow the interests of the "golden billion", which are inconceivable without double standards. “When it is beneficial to the West, the right of peoples to self-determination is recognized as an absolute “rule”. Suffice it to mention the separation of Kosovo from Serbia without a referendum, as well as the former colonial possessions remaining in Paris and London.

Speaking about the restrictions imposed by the West, Lavrov added that "this is a gross violation of the spirit and letter of the UN Charter." “Sanctions are the exclusive prerogative of the Security Council,” the minister said.

According to Anton Bredikhin, president of the Center for Ethnic and International Studies, Lavrov is signaling that Russia is faced with the task of becoming a source of new international law. The topic has become especially relevant since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine, as it showed that international agreements work only in the interests of one side - the collective West.

Boris Martynov, head of the Department of International Relations and Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation at MGIMO, agrees that it is "quite realistic" for Russia to reform the world's legal institutions. The expert emphasizes that Lavrov's selection of the "Anglo-Saxons", as well as their separate mention in the new security concept of the Russian Federation , is not accidental. “The Anglo-Saxons have a different legal and political culture. They have had a system of case law since XIII. With it, it costs nothing to replace, adjust the legal norm. This system is different from ours, Chinese, Latin American, from the system of most African countries. We all have a continental system of law, written, in which it is difficult to change something, ”the expert sums up.
