The Kremlin Mafiosi apparently hated him....he had considerable influence on Lukashenka...who resisted integration with RF.

Getting rid of Makei.....probably makes it easier to get rid of Lukashenko.

 

Armenia abruptly ended the meeting?....much to the chagrin of Dwarfstan?

All CSTO members disrespecting the Dwarfstan..knowing he can't threaten them much anymore. His "military" getting destroyed in Ukraine.

 

This is the point....seems YOU can't see it....you just choose to look the other way.

 

Ukraine Conflict Updates

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 27

Click here to read the full report.

ISW is publishing an abbreviated campaign update today, November 27. This report evaluates the defensive positions Russian forces are establishing in eastern Kherson Oblast and what those positions suggest about Russian expectations for future operations in this area.

The Russian military clearly assesses that Ukrainian forces could cross the Dnipro River and conduct counter-offensive operations in eastern Kherson Oblast, possibly threatening all of the critical ground lines of communications (GLOCs) from Crimea to the mainland. Russian forces have been digging trench lines and concentration areas in eastern Kherson since early October 2022 in obvious preparation for the withdrawal from the west bank of the Dnipro River and Kherson City.[1] Russian troops are preparing either to defend in depth or to conduct operational or strategic delay operations. Russian forces clearly do not expect to be able to prevent Ukrainian forces from getting across the river, nor are the Russians prioritizing defensive positions to stop such a crossing. The Russian military is setting conditions for a protracted defense in eastern Kherson Oblast that could allow the establishment of a solid Ukrainian lodgment on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River. The assessment that follows examines the Russian defensive laydown and evaluates the expectations for the flow of operations likely guiding that laydown exclusively. This assessment makes no effort to determine whether Ukrainian forces intend to cross or are capable of crossing the Dnipro River in this region and offers no forecast about whether or not they will make any such attempt. . . .


Key inflections in ongoing military operations on November 27:

• The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Russian officials are preparing for another wave of covert mobilization starting on December 10 in the Russian Federation and in Russian-occupied territories in Ukraine.[13]
• Russian milbloggers widely criticized the Russian Federal Customs Service for customs delays and exclusions of dual-use goods that volunteer movements have been sending to the Russian military.[14]
• The Ukrainian General Staff reported that the Russian forces along the Svatove-Kreminna line are conducting defensive operations around Kupyansk and offensive operations west of Kreminna.[15]
• Russian sources reported that Ukrainian troops continued counteroffensive operations toward Svatove and Kreminna.[16]
• Russian forces continued offensive operations around Avdiivka.[17] The Ukrainian General Staff did not report that Ukrainian forces repelled any ground attacks around Bakhmut on November 27, suggesting that Russian forces may have advanced in the area.[18]
• Russian forces conducted strikes against Dnipro City, Kryvyi Rih, and Zaporizhzhia City.[19]
• Russian occupation officials continued to forcibly transfer Ukrainian children from occupied territories in Luhansk Oblast to Russia under the guise that the children require special medical care.[20]

 

Boom!
US Considering Giving Ukraine 100-Mile Strike Weapon. Reuters reports that the US is considering providing Ukraine with a new precision strike rocket system that would allow Ukraine to launch rockets at targets 100 miles away, potentially allowing Kyiv to strike behind Russian lines. The system, dubbed the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), could be available as early as spring next year. Both Boeing, the maker of the proposed system and Pentagon officials declined requests for comment. Reuters

 

Let's hope so....that easily reaches into Krym.

 

The more far away weapons depots and command centers we hit the better.

 

For sure....if you clobber them in the rear....they'll be forced to move further away.

We should supply them with best and longest range HIMARS systems already.

 

Even before the shooting started Old Man Biden was all worried that the Putska Zaraza would expand the war so he would only authorize “safe” weapons. Then Putin expanded the war anyways by murdering Ukrainian children. Old Man Biden loosened up a little but not “too much”. So Putin expanded the war to kill Ukrainian children who were only a few days old.
Old Man Biden says we stand with Ukraine but he will not give Ukraine enough weapons in a fast enough time frame for Ukraine to stop Putin from expanding the war.

 

True...those 350 mile (500km) Himars will end this shitshow fast.

I'm hearing the asiatic vatniks are dying from outside hypothermia exposure and rasputiza.

 

Is rasputzia a viral disease of bacterial? Viral would be nice since spreading a virus is so much faster and produces a higher death rate among invaders.

 

"Rasputiza"?....isn't that mud & muck?

But Omicron is spreading quickly I understand....

Key Takeaways

• The Russian-claimed capture of several small villages around Bakhmut on November 27 and 28 does not portend an imminent Russian encirclement of Bakhmut.
• Recent Russian force deployments to Belarus in November 2022 are likely part of a Russian effort to augment Russian training capacity and conduct an information operation.
• Russian milbloggers widely criticized the Russian Ministry of Defense’s (MoD) decision to place severe customs limits on the import of dual-use goods, indicating a continued and pervasive discontent with the Russian MoD’s conduct of the war in Ukraine.
• Russian forces are likely preparing to launch a new wave of missile strikes across Ukraine in the coming week, but such preparations are likely intended to sustain the recent pace of strikes rather than increase it.
• Russian forces continued efforts to defend against Ukrainian counteroffensive operations around Svatove as Russian sources reported that Ukrainian troops continued counteroffensive west of Kreminna.
• Russian forces made incremental gains south of Bakhmut.
• Russian forces continued to strengthen fortified positions and establish security measures in eastern Kherson Oblast.
• Ukrainian forces continued to strike Russian military assets and along critical logistics lines in southern Ukraine.
• Russian forces continue to face issues with adequate training and equipment and challenges with morale and discipline as Russian military failures have significant domestic social impacts.
• Russian occupation authorities continued efforts to facilitate the integration of educational systems in occupied Ukraine into the Russian system. . . .

Ukrainian forces continued to target Russian military assets and critical logistics lines in southern Ukraine. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian strikes against Russian force concentrations in Melitopol, Polohy, and Mykhailivka (just north of Melitopol), Zaporizhia Oblast on November 25 wounded over 100 military personnel and destroyed 10 pieces of military equipment and two ammunition depots.[42] The Ukrainian General Staff also reported on November 28 that strikes against Russian forces in Polohy and Chernihivka (south of Polohy), Zaporizhia Oblast injured 80 military personnel.[43] Russian and Ukrainian sources reported that Ukrainian forces shelled along Russian logistics lines in Kherson Oblast on the east (left) bank of the Dnipro River, including Velyki Kopani (on the R57 Kherson City-Nova Kakhovka highway), Hola Prystan (just south of Kherson City), and Radensk (both on the E97 Radensk-Armiansk highway) on November 27 and 28.[44] The Ukrainian General Staff reported on November 28 that Ukrainian strikes damaged 30 pieces of Russian military equipment in Hola Prystan.[45] Ukrainian Odesa Oblast Military Administration Spokesperson Serhiy Brachuk stated that Ukrainian strikes destroyed Russian military warehouses and a command post in unspecified areas in Skadovsk and Kherson raions.[46] . . . .

 

Skadovsk?.....that's right on border with Krym?

Crimea within range.

 

....this seems to be a bit of a meat grinder for both sides I reckon..God only knows how many have been killed for what loos to a pointless offensive?? My assumption is that it's supposed to be some kind of symbol of victory...?? Or it's just Prigozhin trying to look good for his leadership bid in Moscow - at the expense of 1000s of men?? They've been pounding away there for months and gained basically...well...nothing really and even if they do then what...doesn't make sense

 

yup....'tis mud season

...I think the big issue they have is TB. It's rife in their penal system and with all the convicts being dredged out of prison and shoved up front into freezing conditions with no medical facilities....its a yukky combo....I just hope it isn't spreading into the Ukrainian forces when they take prisoners? These Russian convicts are walking bio-warfare labs.

 

Oh...for sure....this prison scum is riddled with diseases....TB,covid,HIV, and who knows what else.....it's a good way to get rid of the prison population....send them out to conditions where you know they'll surely perish....many of those inmates are beyond any rehabilitation...so why feed & clothe them.

According to my source there....the Bakhmut area is littered with 10-15K dead Russki conscripts from HIMARS strikes....yuck...talk about a modern day horror picture.

 

The Pootster's aggression brought this about.
