Heavy fighting in Donbass - republics trapped

Hello zugzwang


The formidable movements of the echelons of Ukrainian equipment were never crowned with an offensive and, most likely, the long-awaited offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not happen in the near future. There is no need for it - Kiev does not have to drive personnel into minefields and risk relations with the EU. As we have repeatedly predicted this both this year and last year, in order to strengthen its position, Ukraine just needs to increase the intensity of the shelling. Gradually destroy strongholds, equipment, defenders of the LPNR, so that later, practically without losses, take away small pieces of territory and take more advantageous positions one after another. Sooner or later, either take a settlement, or finally provoke Russia to intervene in the conflict.

In Moscow, apparently, they really do not want to openly interfere in the war in Donbass - sanctions will rain down on them. And what exactly to do with the APU - no one knows. Drive them to the borders of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, or even further? It is possible. But then what to do with these territories, in the destroyed infrastructure and maintenance of the population of which hundreds of billions of rubles will have to be invested? Drive several tens of kilometers away and liberate some small settlement, as it was in the winter of 2015? It is unlikely that this will help solve the problem - at best, it will temporarily postpone its inevitable solution, while unambiguously provoking sanctions. At the same time, it is extremely unprofitable to continue to be limited to “concern” and the holding of cultural events - image losses will grow in proportion to the number of civilians in Donbass, including Russian citizens, who died from shelling.



Probably, the corps of the People's Militia could help out of the crisis - if they were allowed to carry out full-fledged work to suppress the enemy's fire activity, Kiev would have to either pacify its militants or throw them forward. However, for unknown reasons, the response from the NM LPR is still sporadic and frankly insufficient. What exactly is the matter here is unknown. Either there is no corresponding order, or the corresponding opportunities have been lost. Meanwhile, the front-line cities of the DPR and LPR are under heavy fire every day, becoming hostages of the situation.

Quo vadis?


Kiev is definitely in an advantageous position, in fact, having caught the LPNR in the trap of the eternal and one-sided Minsk. The very fact of waging a war is beneficial for the government of Ukraine as a distraction, which can be attributed to falling living standards and regular political and economic failures. Under the same pretext, if desired, it is possible to raise the level of the fight against dissent and internal schism to the extreme. In the event of a partial defeat in the Donbass from the Russian troops, Kiev will receive a wonderful reason to call on the Kremlin to thunder and lightning, while demanding another installment plan or even debt restructuring from creditors. In the event of a complete defeat, the Ukrainian rulers will gladly pack their bags and go to spend the stolen goods in the West, where they will most likely be granted the status of government in exile. Russia, in addition to sanctions, will receive the dubious "prize" of the devastated Ukrainian land and tens of thousands of hidden and overt nationalists.

At the same time, the republics found themselves in a terrible situation, a way out of which must be found as soon as possible. Donetsk and Lugansk had enough internal economic, social and political problems to feel the fragility of the ground under their feet. And now the situation is completely out of control. The gradual destruction of front-line settlements and heavy losses in the ranks of the defenders will not only negate the few successes in the social sphere, but also bring a lot of economic problems. At the very least, we will talk about serious damage to infrastructure (already stunted), about the need to support refugees, and maybe about a massive exodus of the population. Fortunately, this time it will be much easier for everyone to leave for the Russian Federation than it was in 2014.

Looking for a way out


Frankly, there is not the slightest desire to be like a horde of network "experts" who are always ready to offer their ingenious solutions on any issue. How to get out of this situation is unclear. But it is obvious that in the very near future Russia will have to either intervene or bury the republics, along with illusions about "protecting the Russian population." If only for the reason that without the strongest mechanisms of pressure (or without a shout from Washington) Kiev not only will not stop shelling, but, on the contrary, will press this pedal all the way.

Today the only capital left at the disposal of the DPR and LPR is the able-bodied population. Moreover, this resource is rapidly depleting - against the background of the crisis associated with Vneshtorgservice and the not very attractive situation in the NM LDNR. Thanks to Russian passports and the simply loyal attitude of the Russian bureaucracy towards immigrants from the Donbass republics, the outflow of the working-age population is in full swing. It is not for nothing that the LDNR never published the results of the population census conducted in the fall of 2019.

If a way out of this situation is not found, and the systematic destruction of the People's Militia and the civilian population, together with the front-line settlements, continues, the migration process may go even faster than in 2014.

Then, after all, there were certain hopes for a successful outcome and a hope for revenge. Today, after six years of timelessness and uncertainty, the mood is much more pessimistic.

If the situation does not change in the foreseeable future, the LDNR may return to the recent past, when entire entrances in apartment buildings were empty. Moreover, there are serious doubts that all these people will return again, and that the system that has been somehow built over the past years will survive a similar crisis.

    Give it up. The only adequate way is to "drive" to the Dniester, and then rename Ukraine into some kind of Novorossiysk federation and leave it on self-sufficiency.

    But there is no such goal. Maybe out of fear of escalation, maybe out of fear for capital in the West. Or maybe it's easier - the occupation of present-day Ukraine will cost a lot, but there will be no sense at all.

      Over the past 10 years, the authorities in Russia have stratified society as much as possible, drove people into poverty and turned against themselves with the same pension reform.
      The President's entourage is full of oligarchs and officials who, in fact, have long been foreign citizens who have come here as if they were kalym - their children in England, real estate in Spain, money in Switzerland.
      The West can always keep them on a short leash. And through them pressure is exerted on the political elite of the Russian Federation. So it was in 2008, so it was in 2014.
      PS
      In 2008, our tanks could enter Tbilisi, catch Saakashvili and hand him over to a military tribunal for the murder of our peacekeepers and civilians. Put your own man in power there and make Georgia a pro-Russian country. We would also have an aviation plant in Tbilisi at our disposal where they would make Su-25T / Su-39 attack aircraft for our Aerospace Forces.
      But alas, we always limit ourselves to some half measures.

        That's right, the goals of the people and the Kremlin are absolutely opposite! It will be like with pensions: while I am the President of the Russian Federation, the retirement age will not be raised ... So here too, they measure Novorossia for another toy for their children ... and to London!

                Well, he does not do it himself, for this he has specially trained people. And for the majority of the population, it is much easier and calmer to believe TV. As it was sung in the old song - "It is easy for the mad to live." In addition, whether Putin or not Putin makes a difference for us, in terms of the appropriation of our labor and propaganda, nothing will change, except in the direction of deterioration. There is no other way under capitalism.

          Yes, the president's word cannot be trusted, he demonstrated this to us in all its glory and with special cynicism. I will say more, almost no one pays attention to his word, because it is not the Russian Federation that is concerned, but profits. What is it about? Many employers have announced to their employees that May 4-7 are working days. And these are not retail businesses, but quite ordinary companies. And many were forced to sign vacation applications at their own expense, during the specified period. Nice, isn't it ?!

              Yah? What is it like? Where will the money for the "salary" come from if you do not work, at least for an "uncle", at least for yourself? "Uncle" considers money better than those who work for themselves and all the time in their favor. So what nonsense you wrote.

            Well, I don't know what space you live in, but I was born in 1973, I remember the 90s well, I survived ... As if now, much better than then. If we take the life of an ordinary person, this, of course, does not mean that everything is fine and it could not be better. There is very little ideal in the world. But reading the comments of people like you, one gets the impression of a significant degradation of individuals and society in general. Really sad for the country. ((

              Yes, then it was worse, BUT worse for everyone and ordinary citizens and officials. I had to turn around to do something. Now 10% of them are satisfied with everything they are getting richer the rest are getting poorer. That's the difference then and now. There is a crisis in the country, and those close to them are breaking records in the Forbes.

                  You probably just do not know that, for example, ordinary people went to deputies in the 90s and in the first half of the 00s. Salaries were symbolic, or there were none at all - they were received at the main place of work. Then everything changed. The common people are getting poorer and poorer, the power is getting richer and richer. And yes, as I wrote in large cities, life may have become better. And the Moscow region is better. But everything else is quiet horror. The salary of a surgeon in a regional hospital is 16 thousand rubles. A Tajik guest worker gets more. Something like that.

                    Come on, tell you ... Back in the 80s of the last century (and earlier as well) in the USSR, there were no random people in the deputies. They used the party card as a springboard for a better personal arrangement in life. And you are here about the deputies from the 90s. You can also tell that Yeltsin and his entourage were altruists, they were ready to lay down their belly for the state and the people ... About ordinary people from the trade unions it was generally delivered.)))

                The deputies, for example, at that time were ordinary people from the trade unions. They also suffered from non-payment of wages at work and took part in strikes. People still of the Soviet mentality sat in the government bodies and did not understand what was happening in the country. Salaries there were also symbolic. Being the director of a plant or mayor of the city was life-threatening - they could be shot at the entrance.
                Then in the 00s, all this began to go away. The bandits seem to have disappeared. More precisely "repainted" and went to power. They began to set their salaries at 200 thousand rubles or more per month. And if you do not have money and connections for elections, your path is generally barred. Even in a beggar city.
                Because the people are massively poorer, and these 10% own everything and everyone. Their fortunes are increasing every year.

              Yes, the way we live now cannot be compared with the 90s. Just never! Then it was complete ... And we, who then tried to survive, do not want a new redistribution, a change in the rules of the game. All the same, they will not do to live better. It will not be possible to build socialism in a month. And it won't work in a year. And what to do with all the current feudal officials? And the bourgeoisie and their hangers-on? In general, changes for the better by a change of government are unrealistic and will only lead AGAIN to monstrous poverty, the collapse of the country and blood. Therefore, Putin, whatever he is, is better than any known and unknown alternatives. How sad and unpleasant it is for someone to admit. THERE ARE SIMPLY NO OPTIONS FOR WHICH POSSIBLE DIFFERENT CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER SIDE with a change of power, in a period of at least three years. Please leave Putin alone. Now it is not the best for Russia, it is the only option.

          Yes, poverty is almost everywhere outside the Moscow region. There are, of course, exceptions, but few. Especially monotowns and villages are the bottom. And we are talking about 150-200 km from Moscow. Tver, Novgorod, Pskov regions. The average salary is about 13-15 thousand rubles. The average pension is the same. The death rate is 2-3 times higher than the birth rate.
          I am the Tver region. My salaries are about 14-18 thousand rubles, about $ 200.
          In the neighboring Moscow region, the same areas of work have a salary of 50 thousand rubles and above.
          So outside of the Moscow region, life is no longer bearable. Of course, in regional cities it is better than in the outback. You can earn 30 thousand rubles. But it still does not compare with the Moscow region.

                That is why they are put on the brink of survival, that they would think how to survive, and not interested in politics. If they put it over the edge (and this is where it goes), there will be an explosion "senseless and merciless." And I dare to assure you that "our" oligarchs and Western special services will put their hands on this explosion. And everything will end with the collapse of the Russian Federation, tk. there is no unifying idea in the country, and all "Russianness", Orthodoxy and other "Slavic" meanings are a way to attract more money and power. Already sick of these "guardians for the good of the people."

                  Alas, the common people cannot come to power and change something. In the 90s, he could and did. Although as I wrote to be a director, mayor or deputy, many were simply afraid - they could have fired a bullet in the forehead at the entrance. And constant strikes, rallies, meetings with voters.
                  Now there is none of this. The people and the authorities diverge like ships at sea, even at the level of a small town. The teacher receives 15 thousand rubles a month, the doctor 16 thousand rubles a month. The deputy is more than 150 thousand a month, the director of the enterprise is 2 million a month.
                  And only the last two (representatives of the so-called party to vote) can go to the polls again and again - there is a lot of money. Pay for your election campaigns and buy whoever you need.
                  Everyone else is overboard. They can no longer influence anything - even trade unions are now being disbanded because they opposed raising the retirement age.

      In this case, Russia may be hit by such sanctions, after which we will roll back into the dashing nineties. Judge for yourself: Western equipment is used in any production. Chemically complex raw materials for the production of polymers and medicines are purchased from the West. As a person working in the pharmaceutical industry, I will say, without the supply of equipment and raw materials from the West, we can be left without many drugs, domestic pharmaceutical equipment for many production processes is simply not made in our country yet. And the ruble is falling, and it is more and more difficult to buy for business rubles from overseas.

    The problem of Donbass and at least the whole of South-Eastern Ukraine had to be solved by the Russian authorities in 2014. When the legitimate President of Ukraine Yanukovych was sitting with us and asked for help. But no help came. Although our President had the authority to do so. And there were such plans.
    There would be no war in Donbass. There would be no drainage of the Crimea. There would be a land connection with the Crimea and Transnistria.
    And all the unique enterprises would come under the control of Russia and compensate us for the damage from the sanctions.
    But our authorities were afraid of something, probably sanctions and pressure from the oligarchs. Perhaps they were afraid that the 2018 FIFA World Cup would be taken away from us.
    Therefore, they let everything go by itself. It is appropriate to recall Churchill who said that choosing between war and shame, shame - we get both war and shame at the same time.
    And what has been in Russia since 2014? Falling living standards, massive impoverishment of the people, including due to sanctions and population decline. This is also the consequence of oh cowardice.

To distract the people from the fact that the economic results of governance in the LPR have discredited the very idea of ​​republics and the number of their supporters has fallen sharply?

    I think that Putin skillfully manipulates the fears and illiteracy of the female population, which allows him to stay in his chair.


    It was not Putin who deprived you of your pension, but demographics. This is a worldwide trend. And Putin is not to blame here.
    Now there is one pensioner for one officially employed person. And this despite the fact that the PF receives 22% of the employer's salary fund. There will be Putin, let it be Shmutin or you yourself will be the president of Russia, but no one will change that. It will be worse with pensions in the future. There are 1,38 births per aunt in Russia. In some Western countries, demography would seem to be better (for example, in the USA or in France), but in reality it is worse because a human trash is born there, cleaning (children of blacks, Arabs and other low-quality migrants), as M. Bulgakov said in " Heart of a dog. "
    Pensions in their current form will be canceled. There will remain only pensions for former civil servants and funded pensions for private traders. And it is right.

    LDNR should bring heavy equipment to the line of contact and protect this equipment from enemy shelling and drones.
    The task of the LDNR is to strike not only at the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but also at civilian infrastructure. The long-term effect of this is the destruction of the investment climate in Ukraine for many years. The fact that the investment climate in the LPR will not improve from this either is so clear. But the LDNR has no investment climate for a long time.
    Without investment, Ukraine will continue to languish. In this sense, the truce is more useful for Ukraine than for the LPR. And any people can fight in the LDNR. The main thing is to raise the salary, at the expense of Russia, of course. In the end, not at the expense of Israel, after all, in the LDNR there are Russians, not Jews.

    We do not know all the truth that the Russian special services and the Kremlin itself know. What and how is it conceived and what they are trying to achieve. One can only "ponder" at the level of sofa experts about military solutions to reduce shelling by the Armed Forces. I personally see two options in their combined application. The first is the delivery of modern field mobile counter-battery warfare radars to the LDNR Armed Forces, to track and quickly suppress artillery and mortar firing points of the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducting shelling. And not necessarily Russian-made. You can buy similar devices from China through private companies and third countries. Train local fighters to use them effectively. Accordingly, also transfer them the ACS for this case. Receiving an instant address response and losing artillery + calculations, the ukrovoyaks will become thoughtful and will be much less eager to fire across the Donbass. The second is to train professional saboteurs and send them to the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with targeted hunting for the commanders of artillery crews and regiments. By systematically eliminating them day and night, in any accessible place. So that each of them burns under the fifth point from any rustle and they shake in their lives tens of kilometers from the front.
