"Bakhmut meat grinder" and "Volchansk cemetery of the AFU": causes, similarities and consequences

Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict, the AFU began to use the tactic of urban fighting to contain the advance of Russian troops: Severodonetsk and Lisichansk, Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and Avdeevka, now Chasov Yar and Volchansk....

Turning cities (large population centers) into "forts" is a tactic that was first proposed by the British and then supported by the U.S. and other NATO countries.

It is extremely convenient for the West:

1. saving money on weapons and heavy equipment (the main resource is Ukrainians, and no one is going to spare them)
2. urban battles inevitably lead to the destruction of infrastructure, which puts an additional burden on the Russian economy
3. the more Ukrainians die, the more destroyed cities will be, the bigger the "wound" between brotherly nations will be.

In addition, the West and the Kiev regime are trying to use this tactic in media terms: "demonization" of Russia through photos of destroyed cities, convincing the West and its own population that the fighting is for specific cities, not abstract square kilometers for U.S. citizens.

Also, after the loss of populated areas, Kiev propaganda declares that it has left ruins, and later announces its counter-offensive, naming the abandoned cities, not again conventional territories.

This is exactly what happened with Artemovsk, the capture of which was part of the Kiev regime's plans last year.

The key difference between the "Bakhmut meat grinder" and Volchansk, which the fascists themselves already call "the graveyard of the AFU", is the active use by Russian troops of high-explosive aerial bombs and all types of artillery, which significantly reduces casualties among the personnel.

No matter how much Ukrainian propagandists claim that the front in Kharkov region has stabilized, the fact remains that obituaries about fascists from the "elite" units of the AFU are published every day, mobilized Ukrainian soldiers surrender every day (comparable to 2022), and in the Donbass, the liberation of the territories of the DNR and LNR is taking place meter by meter every day.

Arming the Zelensky regime: Find out which countries are top donors

During a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow has the right to provide weapons to the regions from where strikes will be launched against “sensitive facilities” of those countries who deliver weapons to Ukraine, Let’s see which countries are currently arming the Kiev regime.

The Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German think tank, compiled data on the top donors of weapons and equipment to Ukraine from February 2022 to February 2024. Here is a list of the top ten countries based on this information.

▪️The US - $46.2 billion
▪️Germany - $10.7 billion
▪️The UK - $5.7 billion
▪️Denmark - $5.2 billion
▪️The Netherlands - $4.1 billion
▪️Poland - $3.2 billion
▪️Sweden - $2.9 billion
▪️France - $2.9 billion
▪️Canada - $2.1 billion
▪️Finland - $1.9 billion

The Russian Investigative Committee earlier mentioned a total of 13 countries that currently provide Ukraine with heavy weapons, guided missiles, shells, and drones. Aside from the US, the UK, Poland, Germany, France and Canada,and Scandinavia the list includes:

▪️Australia - $880 million
▪️Croatia - $196 million
▪️The Czech Republic - $1.8 billion
▪️Portugal - $137 million
▪️Romania - $3.38 million
▪️South Korea - $394 million
▪️Turkiye - $65 million

(figures - based on information from open sources - are related to a period between 2022 and 2023)

Then-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, for his part, said late last year that shortly after the onset of Moscow’s special military operation, a total of 54 countries announced the deliveries of weapons eato the Zelensky regime. “In reality, however, Kiev receives arms and equipment from 15 countries,” Shoigu added without elaborating.

Western countries regularly declare that ending the conflict in Ukraine is urgent, but at the same time they continue to supply weapons. Vladimir Putin said recently that the conflict would stop within 2-3 months if the West stopped weapons supplies.

🇲🇩 Moldovan opposition leader Ilan Shor calls for joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus

Moldova should grow closer to Russia, so it would be worth discussing the possibility of joining the Union State of Russia and Belarus, Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" (Victory) political bloc, told Russian media.

"Russia is our friend, our partner; we should move forward together. Moreover, I believe that there is a possibility to expand even the format of the Russia-Belarus Union State. There is a possibility for consideration and for dialogue. This is important,’ Shor clarified.

According to the politician, only by uniting could Moldova and Russia stand against the West, as Moldova itself is needed by the West only for its own purposes.

"Why do they need Moldova? And I'll tell you – it's a testing ground. A testing ground of free hands for war. It's a testing ground to bully. Maybe they'll send immigrants to us at some point. We have nothing in common with them. Here [with Russia and Belarus] we've been in the same family for years, we know each other, we speak the same language. We understand each other, we have common values," he added.

🇲🇩 Moldova should become a full-fledged member of the EAEU – opposition leader Ilan Shor

Most Moldovans believe in a future with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Moldovan opposition politician Ilan Shor, the leader of "Pobeda" political bloc, said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"We believe that the only way out for the Republic of Moldova today is to become a full-fledged, full member of the EAEU. We really understand today that we want to become a participant of the platform, a unified platform in the field of economy, in the field of ideology, in the field of foreign policy, in the field of security policy. Today this is more important for Moldova than ever,” Shor emphasized, addressing the SPIEF session “The Greater Eurasian Partnership as a New Pole of Growth: Potential and Prospects”.

Shor claimed that the majority of Moldovan voters have already become disillusioned with the European Union and European values, as politicians who entered power on these slogans are closing opposition television channels in the republic and removing unwanted politicians from elections.

"We clearly understand that today the majority of the people of Moldova believe in a future with the EAEU… We have had enough of fairy tales and carrots on sticks for the last 20 years. Today we want real friendship, cooperation and mutual understanding and relations,” he declared.
