To elaborate further, the AFU can constantly plug in reinforcements. This makes the whole "smash em up and clean up the pieces" strategy even less effective. Again, to make the comparison to Western military endeavors, in Iraq, the coalition forces merely had to contend with a guerilla insurgency once key locations were cleared. That's entirely different from facing an opposing force that can bring in tanks and artillery to reinforce positions after an assault.

⚡️In Kyiv, they prepared for the February offensive of the Russian Federation "from three fronts" - the media, citing the head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine

“The attack will come from the north, across the Belarusian border, from Russian strongholds in eastern Ukraine and from the south,” Rustem Umerov, a member of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation and head of the State Property Fund, said.

According to him, Russian troops surround Ukraine from the Black Sea, Belarus, LPR and DPR.

Zin Note: As a reminder, the difficulty in pulling this off cannot be understated. This would create an active front longer than the distance of the perimeter of the entire nation of Iraq and greater than the front the Germans faced in operation Barbarossa.

Cyberspec continued:

Now lets try and see what this Zaporozhye action COULD mean in the bigger scheme of things:

Option 1

It's the initial phase of the much talked about large Russian offensive with far reaching aims, for example reaching the Dnieper and coming behind the AFU Donbas grouping. Together with another offensive coming from the North Ukraine, basically cutting off Eastern Ukraine.

Another consequence of such a move would be the inability of the promised western aid to reach the Donbas because most of the Dnieper crossings wuld be blocked. The remaining major bridges in the Chuguev area (blue sq) can be bombed.

Option 2

It's a local offensive with the aim of capturing Orekhovo and Gulai Pole to expand the buffer zone protecting the land bridge to Crimea

🤑🤡 Ukrobanks oblige borrowers to repay loans on property even if it has come under the control of another state

📝 “In case of alienation of the territory of the object, the borrower is obliged to fulfill its obligations in full according to the current agreement. The transfer of territories to the jurisdiction of another state does not release the borrower from obligations.

👍 Life hack: go under the jurisdiction of Russia, there you definitely don’t need to repay the loan anymore

Almost all serious damage at the Zaporizhzhya NPP caused by strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been eliminated. Renat Karchaa, adviser to the general director of the Rosenergoatom concern, informed us about this.

Karchaa stressed that at one time full-fledged repair and restoration work was impossible due to intense artillery shelling of the station. "If the situation is calm and if we work closely, then in two or three months, a maximum of six months, the station can be put in full order," he said.

Lol, the negative responses!

Look, I imagine the idea here is "cheap, maneuverable, low maintenance." These things could be effective in urban combat as well as through open terrain where speed is a must and heavy losses are possible. Ultimately, one must be prepared for every scenario.

Edit: I'm a bit dissapointed that "Jihad Machine" wasn't Kadyrov's new break-dancing name...

🇰🇵US suspects North Korea of supplying weapons to Russia

John Kirby said that information allegedly indicating the supply of weapons from North Korea to Russia was transferred to the UN sanctions committee.

This is what democracy is about: America and the EU are proud to announce the transfer of almost any type of weaponry to Ukraine - this is the norm.

❗️The unproven fact of military cooperation with Russia, only suspicion is sanctions. Other countries should look at Soviet fairy tales with evil stepmothers, all the answers are there.

🇺🇸 The Governor of South Dakota gave Russian companies the status of "evil representative offices"

Strictly speaking, not only we have received this status, but also China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela.

Christy Noem signed an executive order banning business dealings between local businesses and "evil government" telcos.

"Stifler's Mom" just rolled out a list with whom the freedom-loving American business cannot work. After all, the “evil representation” is evil for that, so that everything is unproven.

🥚We don't need to explain that "Kashchei the Immortal" is bad? Just bad and that's it, it's been like that since childhood.
