Back from the front: a British volunteer in Ukraine

Guys two days ago was the anniversary of the Budapest Memorandum, signed on 5 Dec 1994. Sad that Macron (I have a low opinion of this guy) said that Russia should be given security guarantees. France being the Vichy in the Allied camp since the 1940s.

Without France supplying naval support and gunpowder to gunpowder starved rebels in the US, there would be no US. just New Britain. As it is, this support brought the monarchy to it's knees and enabled the shopkeepers in France to instigate a revolt.

The piles of skeletons and bones from the remains of the dead from the WW1 Battle of Verdun. Over 300 000 soldiers were killed in this battle.

They were collected and placed in the Douaumont Ossuary. It is reported that the remains of 130 000 soldiers lie in this monument.

These soldiers were also led to believe by their government that it was "Sweet and Proper" to die for one's country.

Careful with that. Because one can claim that Ukrainians should not fight back. In fact all armies should be disbanded.

Overall Front line situation: No significant changes. Continued Russian human wave tactics. Dniepr and Zaporozhye were shelled with missiles. Ukrainian forces shot down a KA52 helicopter and SU34 fighter bomber. Unsuccessful attacks in Avdiivka and Bakhmut in an attempt to surround Avdiivka and take Bakhmut. Arestovich says enemy combat power must be depleted to launch an offensive. Zelenskiy visited the hottest section of the front to support the troops on the Armed Forces day.

Kursk: Another smoking accident at an oil storage at an airbase in Kursk.

Russian Air defense: over the last 2 days, Russian air defenses did not engage even once. They did not even detect the targets.

Russian air bases: According to Arestovich, 3 planes were destroyed in Engels AB and 1 in Dyagilevo.

Diplomacy: Hungary is said to have blocked $18 billion of aid, but they deny this. This is an “unfriendly action”. If you are “for peace”, you are for Putin. There will be no negotiations with Putin because the west after 8 years now finally understands that everything must be decided on the battlefield. Minsk 1 and 2 were ceasefires, and they led to this war.

Weather: The weather conditions are adversely affecting Ukraine’s ability to attack and defend. However, offensive actions can still be carried out even with unfavorable weather. Another 5 operations like Kharkhiv or Kherson and there will not be a single Russian soldier in Ukraine.

Western media: Arestovych does not feel that there is a loss of interest in western media, on the contrary, there was less interest 2 months ago.

Girkin: Igor Girkin came back to Moscow with a pessimistic analysis of the situation. He says that no one in the Russian army knows what they are fighting for. Russian troops would be fighting much better if they had a clear achievable goal.

Ukrainian air defenses: Shaheeds attacked the south of Ukraine as the stream was ongoing and were shot down as the means to do this are now available. Arestovich brings up the video of the Gepard SPAAG shooting down a Russian cruise missile. The Gepard was in a perfect position because the Ukrainians know the flight trajectories of Russian missiles in advance. Gepards are even better at shooting down Shaheed 136s which can be shot down with 2-3 shells. The fire control system makes this very easy.

Russian mobilization: A large second wave of mobilization is planned in January-February on top of the current mobilization which never stopped. This large second wave is needed for replacements, as Russia is losing a battalion equivalent (600 people) a day.

Freedom for Russia legion: Additional mobilizations will increase the number of partisans. Last night, the legion carried out a sabotage action on the trans-Siberian railway which led to the halting of train transport of Russian mobilized soldiers. This is a direct cause of mobilization.

Alleged Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk: Pro-Russian groups spread false information that the AFU shelled the center of Donetsk and an open marketplace. The AFU does not have enough artillery to hit all military targets, why would they shell civilian ones, and on top of that their own civilians? What does this give Ukraine? Anyone who would order such a shelling would be arrested in Ukraine. Stray shells do happen, but not on a large scale. Some locals claim that the shelling came from the Russian side, from Makiivka.
