Dima in Ukraine

One thousand forty-fourth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Today the russian fascists have released 72 Iranian kamikaze drones on Ukraine, of which 47 were shot down by our air defence!
In our volunteer headquarters we are preparing to send another batch of useful cargo to the front. Although the majority of Ukrainians wished for the end of the war on New Year's Eve, but we all understand that one wish is not enough, we need a lot of work. First of all we need continuous support of our soldiers, secondly we need to attract the whole Ukrainian society to fight for their independence, and in order to do this we need to fulfil the third most important point - to understand that nobody in the world except the Ukrainian people can defeat the russian fascists. Personally, I clearly understand that none of our partners has neither the strength nor the will to destroy russian fascism. That is why I will actively participate in the New Year in volunteer support of our defenders. Already tomorrow I have a lot of such work planned!

One thousand forty-fifth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Today, the russian fascists launched 93 iranian kamikaze drones at peaceful cities of Ukraine, while our air defence system shot down 60. In total, the air raid alarm sounded several times today. The russian fascists' drones changed their trajectory, which made it difficult to eliminate them with air defence systems.
And our volunteer organisation sent the first batch of cargo for our soldiers to the front this year. We sent an off-road vehicle, drones, trench candles, food and medicine! This will help our defenders to effectively destroy the russian fascists!
In the evening, I was unloading another van with food collected by ordinary Ukrainians for the military. We will send these products to our defenders in the second convoy, which will go to the front in a few days!

One thousand forty-six days of the wars of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Today on Facebook I came across an interesting picture that reflects the opinion of the majority of Ukrainians! Most Ukrainians say that Ukraine has been used as a buffer zone between the so-called democratic world and fascist russia. If we analyse the situation at the moment, it looks like this, because:
1. Since the beginning of Ukraine's full-scale war against fascist russia, the armies of European countries have been significantly strengthened, because Ukrainians, at the cost of their lives, gave Europeans time to strengthen and sometimes rebuild the potential of the armies of NATO countries.
2. The fact that our partners, having the technical ability to close the airspace over Ukraine, do not do so, leads to the death of a large number of Ukrainian civilians!
3. The ban of our partners on the use of long-range weapons to destroy military targets on the territory of russia only leads to a prolongation of the war, and therefore an increase in the number of dead Ukrainian civilians.
4. Repeated delays in the delivery of shells and promised weapons by our partners contribute to the prolongation of the war!
I have long since stopped accusing our political partners of indecision, weakness and cowardice, because I understand that only Ukrainians are interested in ending the war, because we live in a world where everyone is for themselves and this must be recognised!!! The only thing is that I still believe in simple and caring people who sincerely support us, unfortunately for Ukrainians!!!

We feel your pain and are hoping Putin loses his support base and is removed or better still, assassinated. . I suspect that is the only way it can end in 2025. I doubt the average Russian in the street gives a damn about whether Ukraine remains independent or becomes a Russian province. Certainly the families of hundreds of thousands of casualties are asking the question, why?

Like all wars the tune is called by the government not the armies. The armies do not make policy and all soldiers of all countries swear to do or die for their nation. Atrocities and Geneva Convention breaches happen every day on battlefields. It is very easy to say the rules must be followed if you are not there but, I for one, would shoot an enemy who had just clubbed my best mate to death in combat then threw up his hands, immediately coming under the protection of the Geneva Convention. This extends to group revenge on the battlefield. I am absolutely certain that battlefield crimes are carried out in the same percentage by both Russian and Ukrainian forces as they have been since before the Spartans held Thermopylae.

Discipline and control by both the officers and ethical military bearing of the forces is generally far greater in Regular and elite forces. Unfortunately in big wars such as this the armies are filled with amateurs either enthusiastic volunteers or unhappy conscripts (usually a combination of both) with no inbuilt traditions or "institutionalised" discipline. They do not have the training to control their personal emotions in times of high stress. In some cases they are thrown into the front line in units with so little training they are little better than a group of football thugs,.acting on raw fear and emotion. Vendettas breed on such battlefields.

The soldiers are not to blame, they are not there from choice either volunteer or conscript. They fight to the death in the conditions prevailing with the equipment provided. They do what the Generals say and they in turn do what the politicians say. No army ever started or ended a war, it was a politician who signed the War Declaration and the final Surrender Declaration in the blood of millions who die from their decision to go to war on principal or defend on principal.

None of this excuses any crime but just pointing out it is a fact of life. 

The fact remains you are in it to win it by all means fair or foul and it is normally the winners who decide the definition of foul. Untargeted carpet bombing of German cities with millions of civilians killed in WW2 is an example.

Keep going, there will be a resolution at some stage absolutely guaranteed to make neither side 100% happy. The longer you hold out and the more pain you inflict on Russia the greater the chance of Ukraine being on the happy side of the scale (or at least something you can or must live with.)

I believe the West must support Ukraine to the hilt with money, equipment and training. Equipment and training will be written off but I would hate to be looking at the Ukraine national debt at the end of all this. The chances of Russia surrendering as an entire country is less than nil and as a result, the chance of Ukraine getting any meaningful war reparations are about the same odds.

I doubt any western country would subscribe to any of their soldiers dying in this war unless Russia attacked a NATO country which even in Putin's wildest threats has almost zero chance of happening at this stage.

Keep up the grind, it must be harder every day, we are with you.

One thousand forty-seventh day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Today, the russian fascists launched 103 iranian kamikaze drones at peaceful Ukrainian cities, 61 of which were shot down by our air defence system.
Our volunteers have reached our defenders and delivered the first shipment of useful goods this year! In a few days they will return and after a short rest will take the necessary things to our defenders again!
My heroic friend, about whom I wrote, is now on holiday and is waiting to be transferred to the instructor centre. After two years in the hottest spots of the frontline and gaining combat experience, he is going to start instructing paratroopers!
Losses of russian fascists on the 5th of January!
 

One thousand forty-eighth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists!
Today the russian fascists fired 128 Iranian kamikaze drones and 2 missiles at Ukraine. Our air defence shot down 79 drones and both missiles! There are dead and wounded Ukrainian civilians as a result of this strike.
The situation on the front is very difficult, as due to the multiple superiority of the russian fascists in weapons and manpower, our army is forced to retreat.
Losses of the russian fascists as of 6 January!
 

One thousand forty-nine days of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists.
According to the General Staff of Ukraine, to date, our army has wounded and killed more than 800,000 russian fascists. History will show whether this is an objective figure, but it should be noted that our army has also suffered heavy losses, especially in the last six months! No matter how experienced our soldiers are, if there are ten times fewer of them than the russian fascists, and if the russian fascists have many times more weapons than the Ukrainian army, then heavy losses are inevitable. 
In such a situation, the only right way out for our country is to increase the production of our own weapons, especially drones and shells! I know that thousands of ordinary Ukrainians have learnt how to make drones, even at home, but you can't make missiles and shells for guns and tanks in the kitchen, this is the task of the state! 
The losses of the russian fascists as of 7 January!
 

One thousand and fiftieth day of the war of the Ukrainian people against russian fascists!
Ukrainian Defence Forces attack russian oil depot in engels last night
It should be noted that this oil depot provided fuel for the Engels-2 military airfield, where the russian fascists' strategic aviation is based. The destruction of the oil depot creates serious logistical problems for the strategic aviation of the russian occupiers and significantly reduces their ability to strike at peaceful Ukrainian cities and civilian objects. This is good news.
russian fascists did not hesitate to strike the city of Zaporizhzhia with bombs at three o'clock in the afternoon, killing 13 civilian Ukrainians and injuring 30! This is bad news.
While our army destroys military facilities on the territory of fascist russia, russian fascists strike indiscriminately throughout Ukraine, killing many civilian Ukrainians.

One thousand fifty-second day of the war of the Ukrainian people against the russian fascists! Yesterday I did not have time to write a message because I had a lot to do. Firstly, we handed over a shell casing, which was painted by our student, to the wife of a soldier who took part in the drawing of this souvenir. This raffle was organised to raise funds for the 47th Brigade, for which my friend makes steel ball casings, which in the skilful hands of our soldiers turn into shells that destroy russian fascists. Secondly, yesterday and today, our volunteer headquarters has been in full swing, as we have been preparing supplies for our defenders and I have been actively working as a loader. Today, the military themselves, from the legendary Azov Third Brigade, came to visit us and we loaded their van with many useful things that will help our defenders destroy the russian fascists! In short, the struggle continues and we are actively supporting our defenders around the clock, every day until the Victory!
