Dima in Ukraine

This is interesting reading. Ukraine Memorial Day government press release. Even if it is exaggerated the figures are horrendous and it gives an understanding of Russia's relationship with Ukraine during WW2. They are a long suffering persecuted people..

The six hundred and eighteenth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists.
Tonight the russian bastards fired forty Iranian kamikaze drones at Ukraine, 24 of them shot down by our air defence. 16 kamikaze drones hit various targets all over Ukraine, including in the neighbouring region.
The situation on the eastern front is very difficult. There are fears that our heroic troops will retreat from the populated area in Avdeevka to avoid being surrounded. Too unequal forces are concentrated in this place, the undeniable superiority of the russian fascists in aviation, do not allow our troops to consolidate on defensive positions. We must try to save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers as much as possible at any cost. We need aeroplanes, I have been writing about this since the beginning of the war, but we are not heard!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the heroes!
Losses of russian fascists on 3 November!

It looks like Ukraine General Zaluzhnyi is putting a bit of reality into the propaganda led reporting from both sides.

It is apparent that the war has ground to a halt and no significant moves have been made on the front for 6 months. Optimistic reporting about pocket advances in the order of hundreds of metres on a thousand mile front with a million men in the field is  24 hour news-cycle stuff. It has degenerated into a grinding WW1 trench warfare tragedy.

As each side gets resupplied from their allied sources - China, Iran and North Korea on one side and Western countries on the other there is not enough change in capacity for either to make a critical difference.

It achieves nothing by railing about the injustice or illegality of the war. All wars are unjust. Each side thinks God is with them and millions of innocents suffer. Once the game has started there is only one aim- to win. The Russians (who think they are right) have jumped the fence and come into the Ukrainian yard. The Ukrainians are fighting for survival so motivation is so much greater and they will keep going much longer than the Russians.

There comes a time when everybody will run out of steam militarily, economically and mentally and we will finish up with a ceasefire which may last 3 generations like Korea on the line where everything started. After two years of death and destruction the map today does not look vastly different to the day the Russians swept into Ukraine.

Zaluzhnyi looks like a pretty smart fellow and realizes that nothing will happen with such closely matched capability on each side unless one side or the other works smarter, not harder.

Even the Russians with their physical and political corruption and fractured military command structure (we do not know how similar Ukraine is because it does not get reported) are learning lessons and making changes. The Russians have as many brilliant people as any other nation.

As Zaluzhnyi says, the "eye for an eye" battle, just lining up more and more guns at about the same rate on each side achieves nothing and is going nowhere. The first to really take up a new approach with co-ordinated technology just may create a situation where the front line becomes mobile with a real possibility of a sweeping break through similar to the defence of Kiev at the start of the war.

That's right, my friend. Among other things, Zaluzhny also notes the need for our partners to provide weapons in a timely manner, including aircraft and long-range munitions. This could be a turning point in the war. But I have the feeling that dragging out the war is not only in Putler's interests, but also in the interests of some politicians who are earning themselves political and perhaps even monetary dividends! I do not deny that corruption exists in Ukraine, so our partners can justifiably demand reports on the use of the resources provided!

Six hundred and nineteenth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists.
Tonight russian fascists fired rockets at Ukraine. At the moment there is no information about dead Ukrainian civilians, but it is known that some missiles hit residential houses.
There is no change on the front, russian fascists are attacking the positions of Ukrainian heroes, but without success.
In the occupied territories of Ukraine, russian fascists are sacking Ukrainians who refuse to take russian passports. This is so-called humane genocide, when civilians are not shot, but left without means of subsistence!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the heroes!
Losses of russian fascists on 4 November!

Six hundred and twentieth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
European and American politicians are conducting behind-the-scenes conversations with the Ukrainian authorities regarding negotiations with fascist russia! They justify this by saying that the war has reached a dead end and the problem needs to be resolved at the negotiating table. Unfortunately, both European and American politicians who want such negotiations do not understand two key points! The first is related to the limitation of the military capabilities of our army by the quantitative ratio of weapons, especially aviation and long-range projectiles. If our partners provide our army with the necessary amount of weapons and there are no delays in their deliveries, then both European and American politicians will see that the delay in the offensive of our army is primarily due to the lack of weapons!!! The second point is that neither European nor American politicians still understand that fascist russia never complies with the terms of negotiations. The Budapest Memorandum is obvious proof that agreements with russia are no more expensive than toilet paper!!! Only the forceful defeat of fascist russia can guarantee peace in the world, otherwise after the war in Ukraine, in Israel, a war will begin in Taiwan, a war between north and South Korea and massive terrorist attacks around the world, especially in Europe. Until European and American politicians understand this, they will only see blind corners!!!
And I'm going on night duty!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to heroes!

Six hundred and twenty-first day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Last night I managed to talk to a hero friend of mine who is fighting on the very front line of the front. Together with his fellow soldiers they are holding the defence and do not allow the russian fascists to break through the defence line. According to him, the situation is very difficult, the russian fascists are constantly throwing up new military units, which are numerically superior to our heroes. But our heroes have not retreated a single metre and are destroying Russian creatures by the hundreds!
And we continue to support our heroes on the front lines. Today we loaded a van with food, stoves and other useful things, and tomorrow they will be taken to our heroes at the front.
My friends, again I appeal to you with a request for donations. I told you that I have a friend who collects devices for demining. His designs are in great demand, but we need money for materials. If you think it's possible, donate what you can. It will be your contribution to the defence of democracy all over the world and support of my people in the fight against fascist russia!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the heroes!
Losses of russian fascists on 6 November!
 

 

Six hundred and twenty-second day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
russian fascists are attacking all along the eastern front, they are using all kinds of weapons, including banned weapons. But our heroes hold the defence despite the superiority of the russian creatures. Our heroes lack air support and shells, so we have heavy losses in personnel.
There were no air raids today, so the day can be called relatively calm!
Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to the heroes!
Losses of russian fascists on 7 November!
