Ex-commander of the airborne troops of Ukraine: The population of a number of Ukrainian regions seeks to become part of Russia

The Situation in the Ukraine. #31 - Page 33 1643733097_5

The population of a number of Ukrainian regions is striving to become part of Russia or separate from independent Russia, creating their own state in the person of Novorossiya.

This opinion was expressed by Lieutenant General Mikhail Zabrodsky, who previously commanded the air assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As he believes, a good half of the country is included in the list of regions "disloyal" to Kiev.

According to the ex-commander of the landing troops of Ukraine, in order to subjugate the country, it is not necessary to capture the capital. To do this, it is enough to establish control over the left-bank part of the country, whose inhabitants want separation from the independent one - “Kharkov, Dnieper, Kherson and right up to Odessa,” the military believes. After that, the operational space will open before the Russian troops, and Moscow will be able to demand conditions of surrender that suit it from the current government or even appoint its own leadership of the country.

According to Lieutenant General Zabrodsky, who is a member of the Verkhovna Rada, since 2014 the Kremlin has been actively fueling such sentiments of the population of the Left Bank, allegedly conducting a hybrid war in Ukraine.

His statements fit into the general outline of military hysteria, fanned in the West and in the most independent. Against the background of the expectation of the invasion of the Russian army, there is a sharp outflow of investments from Ukraine, which adversely affects the already difficult economic situation of the country. However, as one can judge, this is of little concern to the authorities and the "independent community", like the same Zabrodsky - the main thing is not to stop feeding people's fears to please the Western masters.

Kinzhal's land attack role in northern Europe



The missile system primarily targets aircraft carriers, Aegis cruisers and destroyers. "The Kinzhal may also have an important land-attack role in northern Europe considering that an Iskander brigade was recently deployed near the Norwegian border," CSIS said in its report.

Russia has already announced it will hold huge naval drills in the Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific and Mediterranean this month and February at a time of heightened tensions with Western nations.

The wargames will involve more than 140 warships and support vessels, more than 60 aircraft, 1,000 pieces of military equipment, and about 10,000 servicemen.

I dont understand all this recent ballwashing of Russia by some members here.

Russia is NO freind of Turkey. It sent fighter jets into Turkish airspace, arms & supplies Assad and PKK, to force civilians to flee to Turkey destabilize the country, persecutes Crimean Turks and lets not forget the airstrike that killed 40+ Turkish soldiers back in 2020.

If Putin cuts of Ukraines black sea access Russia would sorround Turkey on 3/5 of its borders. This is a huge threat.

Turkey should work on improving relatiins with the US. Disagreements with the West are largely Ethical. Putin wants a new world order with him retaking constantinople.

For centuries the Russians wanted Istanbul.

They actually came pretty close. The Russians reached the outskirts while Ataturk was born 3 years after. Pretty crazy to even think of that.

Russia was on the rise and we lost territory and wars to them. Russians not just took huge chunks of from Poland to Siberia but they also beaten the Swedes, Poles, French and the Prussians even challenging Britain in the Great game.

This was all during the 1700s to the 1800s. But when the 1900s you literally see the Russian Empire has rotted to its core already hence why they lost to Japan and took heavy casualties in WW1. Ww1 was influenced by Russian foreign policy to take Istanbul back. In ww1 they made plans to take the Bosphorus.

Since 1453 Russians swear an oath to retake Istanbul back. Schools, churches, books, institutions, songs, movies, they use every port to propagate this desire.

Russia called themselves the successors of the Eastern Roman Empire also the Turks took their holy city.

The Ottoman Empire also controlled most of the Orthodox Christian World. Only Orthodox Christian state standing was the Russians its no surprise that they made it personal.

Seriously the Ottoman Empire screwed up by ignoring Russia we should have pushed on with an alliamce with Poland or Sweden but nope. Peter the Great could have actually got captured the Prut campaign but Baltaci Mehmet pasha let him escape lots of legends that he became a simp for a Russian women.

It was never but they made it an oath to take it back. Also the Kieven Rus the ancestors to modern day Russians also tried many times to take Constantinople but all of it failed.

Rosgvardia's 141th separate motorized infantry regiment "Sever" named after the Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov (father of the Ramzan Kadyrov). Apparently this unit has arrived to "staging grounds" near Ukraine. No confirmation on location, but it is cool to see the chechen units involved in drills They participated in Syria and it is an integrated unit, majority are from Chechnya and Dagestan
