The head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: The special operation was necessary because of the critical threat to Russia's security

51

At the 1st International Anti-Fascist Congress that opened today in the Moscow region, the head of the Russian military department, Sergei Shoigu, once again voiced the reasons that forced Russia to launch a special military operation in Ukraine.

According to Shoigu, the criminal policy of the Ukrainian authorities towards the inhabitants of Donbass, the desire to join the country to the NATO military bloc created a critical threat to Russia's security. Under such conditions, the decision of the President of the country to launch a special military operation turned out to be the only correct one.



The Russian Defense Minister also noted that the special operation in Ukraine is accompanied by the inhuman tactics of the Ukrainian military, hiding behind civilians as a shield, shelling of a nuclear power plant, strikes on life-support facilities of the population, including the Donetsk filtering station, Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, etc.

In addition, according to the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, the idea of ​​banning Russians from visiting European countries is a kind of manifestation of Nazism, and in some EU countries Nazi actions are openly carried out.

The International Anti-Fascist Congress is held within the framework of the Army-2022 military-technical forum and has the main goal of uniting the efforts of the world community against attempts to revive fascism and Nazism in any manifestations. The Russian Defense Ministry believes that the congress should become an annual event and gather all those for whom the very idea of ​​segregation based on race, nationality, culture, and religion is unacceptable.

          Why wait 8 years? Moreover, they recognized the Nazi state as "sovereign", and the power of the "Nazis" as legitimate, having established diplomatic relations with it! What did they think then? So what then for so many years, waiting for something? How long will Ukrainians fill more residents of Donbass? How long will NATO prepare the army of Ukraine? How long will anti-Russian hysteria fill the heads of all Europeans? Until the EU consolidates against Russia? Just don’t talk about “the time required to train their armed forces” and “import substitution”, everyone already sees how ready they are and how they managed to “replace imports” ...

            I agree. There are no words, only mats. Only in 2014-15, the supreme commander was fooled three times, which he himself admitted ("we negotiated, we were deceived") And if in 2014 the actions in the Crimea were adequate - the 20th corps surrendered without a fight, then intelligence support for the start of the NMD is just trash, as a result of which they almost got into negotiations with "Nazis and drug addicts" (according to the same supreme). And it's not a fact that we're not getting into it yet. About import substitution, which, yes, partly took place, but in general, this is a miserable semblance of what is needed, can be seen in the example of civil aviation, where the composite wing and avionics were bought all the way until they sent us. It is ridiculous to talk about the number of orders for domestic liners from the state and airlines in general - single, with the exception of the superjet, 60+% foreign.

        Of course right. It just seems like we're making excuses all the time. But if we want the whole world to check the time in Russia, we need to ask the sponsors of the terrorist Ukrainian regime harshly. For the supply of weapons to terrorists, completely cut off from gas, oil and metals. It is indicative, At least one country forever, without the possibility of getting it through third countries. So that when waking up, the Geyropians first of all climbed for the news in what mood Shoigu and Miller woke up. Beat to Kyiv daily. Beat daily on the border regions of Ukraine with the West. The airfield in Kyiv should be in ruins and no delegations. Rada should sit in basements. And finally, cut off the supply of nuclear fuel to the United States and other American mongrels.

          disconnect completely from gas, oil and metals.

          1. At the end of 2020, Russia supplied 3,2 million tons of steel to Europe, which is about 15% of total imports.
          2. Europe depends on 40% of our gas and 30% on the supply of Russian oil and petroleum products.
          3. Europe is Russia's largest sales market: more than half of Russian oil exports and almost three-quarters of gas exports come from this region.
          Don't you think that it's not enough for them to fall apart? losses - yes, there will be big ones until they are rebuilt on others .. but for us - it will even hit harder if everything is completely blocked?

      I do not dispute the minister's words. I have another question. Why the hell are we still exporting something to countries that are fighting against us? We are told that the collective West is fighting against us. Okay, not a question. But why are we still shipping the things necessary for it, the West, to this very collective West? Is it different?! Reduced gas supplies - good. But why wasn't it covered? Gas is electricity for the enterprises of their military-industrial complex, which produce weapons transferred from the West to Ukraine. Conclusion: we ourselves help to supply the enemy with ammunition and equipment that fires at our own guys. I'm wrong?!

          Jobs must be created. We have not established production in many areas, and if we have it, production, then in scanty quantities. For example, I don’t see that we have the same refrigerators, of our own design, from domestic components. Why go far, the automotive industry is not able to produce full-fledged cars without imported components.
          So there is no need for jobs. It's just that no one really does it. Everyone is looking for momentary profit, and does not work for the future.

        There is a version that they started the operation right now because Ukraine found a "beautiful" way to bypass all restrictions and, in fact, immediately join NATO and the EU through .... union with Poland. And the Verkhovna Rada was already preparing for this. In this case, Ukraine would forever float away from under Russian influence and, moreover, greatly strengthen our implacable and most vile enemy, Poland. By the way, this "union" is practically taking place now, before our eyes. The Rada, literally the other day, adopted a law on the equality of laws and rights of Poland on the lands of Ukraine, effectively legitimizing the rights of the Poles with the Ukrainians on the territory of Ukraine and, moreover, legitimizing the Polish administrative and criminal code, allowing the police and special services of Poland to freely carry out any activities in Ukraine . If the Sejm of Poland ratifies this, then other already prepared laws will go on, implementing a complete "union". If the "union" is accomplished, then the prospects for the NWO will become even more interesting ... By the way, this is exactly what the Serbs offered Yeltsin at one time, but he refused ...

          Well, did you really find it like that?, walked, walked and found it yourself? winked Don't be fooled - it's not worth it, you can't trust anyone, you can trust me, all the more, it doesn't cost you anything. Yes
          Of course, I apologize for the previous lyrics and humor, but according to the version there is one "but" and this "but" is rooted in the approach to military planning of the main NATO countries and their special structures. This approach is not a secret, but it is not widely covered, but it consists in using the factor of influence on the situation - tension. That is, accumulated or created, unresolvable by ordinary peaceful means, contradictions between countries (regions) or peoples (strata of the people, nations, religious groups, etc.) to initiate a conflict situation at the right time and place or in advance, with the ability to control its escalation (escalation potential) to armed confrontation, as well as existing armed conflicts (local or regional). The main and most significant factors of influence are: the actual armed conflict itself, military preparations, a territorial dispute of unsettled borders, isolated (by something) inhabited territories and enclaves, economic claims, sanctions and blockades, dangerous man-made objects and territories, political and social differences , historical guilt, post-war syndrome and revanchism of the population, racial, ethnic and religious strife, as well as their combinations, which is the most critical.
          So, in the military planning of NATO in the Eastern strategic direction, the territorial disputes of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus (Western regions of Ukraine, Brest, Polesie, etc.) and other factors have always been used to initiate an armed conflict, and this situation persisted until approx. 2015, until NATO received at its disposal the internal armed conflict in the South-East of Ukraine and its territorial claims in relation to the Crimean Peninsula to Russia, which automatically removed the need for NATO to accept Ukraine itself into the bloc and the need to stimulate its conflict with the Republic of Belarus and the settlement of Poland's claims against it. Everyone is more than satisfied here, too, it must be understood that it was the need to accept Ukraine into the bloc that was removed, and not the emergence of obstacles to its acceptance, since it was precisely this state of affairs that provided the main final condition for the basic concept of using NATO allied forces - armed confrontation with the Russian Federation and the projection of a military threats to a significant depth of our territory, only now indirectly, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become like the national armed forces of the country of the bloc. In addition, the United States and a number of Western countries have a field for wider maneuver in the factors of influence on us and the wards when initiating an armed conflict and reducing the threat of using nuclear weapons (both strategic nuclear forces and strategic nuclear forces) against themselves, while managing its escalation and all kinds of accusations RF in violations of international law, which is important for the formation of an international position against us. At the same time, the possibility of bringing troops of the countries of the bloc into the territory of Ukraine to occupy the bridgehead was supported and its equipment was underway, planned joint training of the Allied Forces of NATO, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other events were carried out.
          In this state, the situation persisted until approximately 2020, until the moment when it became clear that the change in the balance of power in the world was not in favor of the United States and they (presumably) decided to start an escalation in the Southeast with the sacrifice of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but with the desire retaining a significant part of the bridgehead, which did not go unnoticed by us in view of the ongoing preparatory measures, new planning and other information. It is likely that the new NATO military planning was being prepared by the United States and it was necessary to agree on it at the bloc's summit in 2022, enlist the support of the bloc's members, then its development was expected to be possible by 2023-2025, but events went faster. Mutual attempts to put pressure on each other by the Russian Federation and the United States, meetings of the leadership with the participation of other countries, did not give any result. Only the preventive start of the SVO by the decision of the GDP gave the result. The rest of the course of events takes place live and is sufficiently covered through the media and personal communication.

        Vashcheta, there is a simple and uncomplicated military aspect in this matter, but it is impossible to outdo it with any politics - economics, and everyone who tried - they are gone or their countries are in ruins and are suffering from convulsions.
        So, the aspect itself: The entire structure of the use of NATO coalition forces in the Eastern strategic direction was provided by a geostrategic foothold in the outlines of the existing borders of Ukraine, even without the peninsula of Crimea. The second, in terms of importance and desirability for NATA, was the bridgehead of the Republic of Belarus. The longitude of these territories, including the Tribalts and the addition of the Northern and Southern flanks to them on the territory of the NATO satellite countries (Finland, Georgia), allowed the US-NATO + satellites to implement in the West’s strategy (generally) to contain Russia the basic concept of using the NATO Allied Forces to project military threats to a significant depth of our territory without switching to large-scale databases with crossing the border of the Russian Federation and the use of strategic nuclear forces, as well as removing the threat of using strategic nuclear forces and providing conditions for presenting us with ultimatum demands of any order and their full satisfaction.
        But, it was not possible to achieve a "peaceful" mastery of the Republic of Belarus for all the time, moreover, a joint grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus was registered there, and a colossal amount of funds and forces were spent on the entire direction, as a result, Ukraine remained, which, with some adjustment of military planning in in relation to the Republic of Belarus, made it possible to continue the implementation of the concept as a whole with the planned development of activities in the course of operational and combat training of the bloc’s forces and the unhurried creation of military infrastructure in Nezalezhnaya. At the same time, the features of its northern border with the Republic of Belarus made it possible to form several dangerous directions for the troops of the Republic of Belarus there and level the capabilities of the means and reduce the combat stability of our joint Gr (v, s) to an acceptable level. In fact, in one N-VO (ground-air operation, approx. 5 days) NATO, in a favorable situation (absence of Russian troops), it was possible to defeat the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus and occupy most of the country's territory with the prohibition (disruption) of the advancement of Russian troops to the planned frontiers or with the forced refusal of the Russian Federation from active participation in the conflict.
        The very configuration of the initial position of the troops of the countries of the bloc and satellites, which is in a coalition or independently national armed forces, on the bridgeheads of Tribalta - Polyandia - Nezalezhnaya, when the Northern territories fall out of the latter, for the Tribalts it takes on a threatening character and only the involvement of the Finns, etc. somewhat stabilizes this situation, and the sea is cold. Like this Yes no, even that wassat

        I think that the people today have almost knocked out. They knocked out in the sense that they destroyed the foundations, the spirit, what the Russian people have always been strong with. The society of acquisitiveness, which replaced the ideas of socialism, finished off the remnants of that good that the "best" representatives of the ruling party of the USSR did not finish off. Jealousy, arrogance and greediness of the elite and its lackeys - all this corrupts and destroys the nation.

      Life itself, peaceful, calm, CORRECT, smooths out many corners, evens out, tries on former opponents.

      Why didn’t you forgive the Essians, peacefully driving their BMWs, Mercs and Gelendvagens.

      in some EU countries, Nazi actions are openly carried out.

      They did it, they do it, and they will continue to do it until we take the conditional "Berlin" once again.

        Let me add to you, on the topic of the postcard, I think it will be indicative for some, though I wrote somewhere already, but I will repeat part of my grandmother's story.
        During the evacuation from the Leningrad Region in 41, social and medical institutions were taken out on board when the Germans approached. The woman (the head of the evacuation from the regional committee) had to leave bedridden patients in the medical complex - the insane (they would not have been taken) and wanted to take the "nursing home", but he rebelled and refused to be evacuated. An assistant from the staff of the house came running and said that they had been behaving inappropriately for the last few days, crowding, grinning, "ladies" were preening, men were invigorating and swaggering, etc. She went to them, and they told her: "Ah, run? Run "Run! You won't run far. Our government is coming, We'll follow the trail, we'll hang you on the lanterns!" Well, they took some of the staff, some remained with the "new government". After a short time, one of the remaining workers at home ran across the front line and told about the "meeting". The Germans came, "waiting" with bread and salt ..., offering their services and management experience, talking about their wealth and rights to factories - steamships, land - estates, etc. The Germans ate some bread, scratched their heads, looked at the suitability of the building for accommodation, and gathered their newly found "helpers" together with the insane in their wooden building, and set it on fire from four sides, but left some of the servants for themselves (but what about the comfort ), so she ran away from the new owners. Here, nothing changes. Wait.

      Fascism as a technology seems to me developed in ancient times. Possibly since the time of the Egyptian priests. Although in the case of Ukraine it is more correct to talk about Nazism. And in Russia now, more than ever, a powerful ideological component is needed, which would really work, and would not exist only on the papers of officials. And the emphasis should be on humanity, and not on slandering people. The USSR, in spite of everything, was a powerful ideological pole of the former world. I hope that people in the governing structures will recover from acquisitiveness and selfishness, and will start to really invest in the country.
