Khodakovsky: it is important to understand why we started the SVO and how we will continue to live with a defeated Ukraine

Although the goals of the special military operation were announced by our leadership on its very first day, no one really explained what our victory would consist of. Therefore, everyone interprets it differently.

The deputy head of the Russian Guard in the DPR and the founder of the Vostok brigade, Colonel Alexander Khodakovsky, tried to understand this issue by writing a corresponding post in his Telegram channel.



He believes that it is important to understand why we started the Northern Military District and how we will continue to live with a defeated Ukraine.

In his opinion, many people present Russia’s victory in the special operation in a very distorted way. Some believe that we will win when our military stops dying. Others imagine that Russia must break Ukraine. Still others are confident that by conducting a special operation, our country is trying to prove its importance to the world. Actually, the officer believes, none of the options listed above are worth starting military operations.

Having launched a special operation, Russia has entered a path whose final destination is still hidden for most of us. He compared the current situation with the biblical parable of King Moses, who led the Jews through the desert for 40 years until they found the way to the Promised Land.

According to Khodakovsky, the point is not even that NATO bases, if they were located on the territory of Ukraine, would be capable of hitting Russian regions with their missiles. The alliance forces could attack us without Ukraine. For example, from the territory of Poland or the Baltic states.

But the fact is that Ukraine and the Baltic states for Russians are not at all the same thing. Despite the current situation, Ukrainians are still not strangers to us. This is part of our own people, perhaps the lost part.

And after the victory in the Northern Military District, Ukrainian lands and people will not disappear anywhere - we will have to live with them. For the majority of the population of Ukraine, social issues are much more important than what country they will be part of and under whose rule the place where they live will be. According to the officer, there will be irreconcilable people, and they will have to be evicted or isolated. And over time, new generations will grow up and need to be oriented in the right direction. Of course, if we ourselves are able to decide on this direction for ourselves.

      Yes, it’s not difficult to destroy Washington, it’s a small town, and not even covered by missile defense systems. But again, the main idea of ​​the article is: “What’s next?”
      Khodakovsky is right, we had to think about this when starting the Northern Military District

        Khodakovsky simply makes noise like a reed so that he won’t be forgotten. And those who are persistently “elected” in elections and those to whom they hang hero-general stars should have thought about “this”. What next? Yes, as always, blood, sweat, dirt and sheer heroism is someone’s crime.

                Remind the goals and objectives of the SVO. Do you think they will be achieved if the territory of Ukraine simply becomes smaller? It will join NATO, turn into a global military base close to the Russian Federation, let’s say, it will ask for missiles to be installed to protect the remnants (and they will gladly supply them) and will, with the rights of the offended, drink blood everywhere and in every possible way. And she will be, rest assured.
                To be in good shape, yeah. We have no other enemies.....

                  You have drawn a realistic scenario. That's pretty much how it will be. Even if the outskirts are not taken into NATO. What will access to the Polish border change? Poland has already “turned into a global military base.” It’s better to let him get away with the remnants of the outskirts.

                    So why then is Ukraine like this? 404 is being sawed “in fairness” - Russian for Russia, Polish for Poles, Romanians and Hungarians respectively, and let everyone have their own hemorrhoids. And “no Ukraine, no problem.” Well, it didn’t work out for Nezalezhnaya......sorry.. request

                      They don’t get independence every time they get it. Every time it results in a “letter” to someone, with the idea of ​​selling it more profitably.
                      We need to separate goals from ideals. IMHO the “goals” voiced at the beginning are actually achievable and not very achievable, but ideals. But the goals are much more prosaic and if without sentimentality, then everything is simple - people, lands and markets. And pushing back borders, testing promising BT, accelerating the defense industry and the economy as a whole is already a bonus.
                      At the same time, the spit on the map called Ukraine must remain and be outside NATO.
                      Firstly, the irreconcilables must have a goal at the end of the suitcase-station chain, and secondly, Ukraine is actually supported by Western funding, which will have to be given back - so let them take up to the 8th generation. Well, thirdly, there must be a buffer with psheks - both as a litmus test and as a cushion in the event of inevitable provocations.

            Odessa mother and Kharkov and Kiev are Russian.

            The main mistake at the beginning of the Northern Military District was to believe that they were waiting for us in Ukraine.
            No. They don't wait. And even more so now.
            What do you think, as we move deeper into Ukrainian territories, what attitude will Ukrainian civilians have towards the people who killed their fathers, sons, (where women are mobilized) daughters?
            Well, to be honest? lol
            Let’s just put ourselves in their shoes (I understand that everyone there is a Nazi/drug addict, but still) to understand what awaits the new administration on the ground.
            Khodakovsky very carefully tries to say exactly this.
            For 40 years, not only we, but also they, will have to portray Moses. Blood is not water.
            And it’s also clear that he’s simply freaked out by what’s happening there and by the vague prospects of the very idea with the SVO.

              But here I don’t even know what to think anymore. On the one hand, yes, blood, sacrifices. On the other hand, the authorities themselves have broken a lot of wood there and are still breaking it. There are no longer any volunteers left to defend independence. But there are more and more sneakers. In my opinion, they are beginning to suspect that they were simply thrown under a train, in the hope of throwing the train into a ditch.

              I don’t know what you can see in Khodakovsky, but I’m definitely blown away by all of this. The plywood guy said that Khinzir had losses of 0,5 million. Indirectly, our losses can be judged by this figure. And also how many civilians died. In total, the bill is already over a million. And WHAT is all this for? Maybe we're all not being told something?

              The administration will be moderately opposed to us. And this is not a reason for us to feel guilty. It's time to end the "liberation" thing. We defend Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya from NATO.

        You and I did not start the SVO. And if they had started, I suspect they would have acted differently.
        The one who thought about it according to his position refused both Mr. A and Plan B. They themselves hardly understand what is being implemented there now.
        But what do we want?
        We don't need the whole world to rot.
        Minimum program - Minskostamul, "Victory on points" means strategic defeat. And there is no result, and the sanctions are not going anywhere. Defeat in the second Cold War will be final and irrevocable. There will be no second chance for SVO Premium.
        The only thing - the Maximum Program - there should be no strong hostile states nearby. And this must be done on the first try.
        This is what needs to be discussed.

                        All of them are vertical, and strictly obey the looking grandfather. Another thing is that the clan-corporate interests of the vertical ones fit perfectly into the outline of the world bourgeoisie and the IMF, respectively. And that’s why the Northern Military District, and not the war, that’s why they’ve been waiting for something since 2014, hoping to reach an agreement, but in the end it turned out that THEY were deceived. Funny. They want to climb the tree and eat the fish. And the people are disentangling it.

                        Yes, I don’t listen to these lecturers. because they are banal propagandists, both those and others. Some drown for the king, others for the glorious geyropa. And I don’t need lecturers, I need information from different sources. I can draw my own conclusions.

                        Maybe it seemed to me, but your position is that everyone interferes with the king, and he alone cares for the fatherland and the people. So I’m simply touched by such judgments. I am inclined to believe that he is simply an observer of the oligarchy who have robbed and are plundering the country. And the current SVO is nothing more than THEIR and HIS, first of all, miscalculations.

      But as for subsequent life on the former territory of the Ukrainian SSR, then we must first decide how we see it and what we will develop on it. In my opinion, for the next 30-50 years, agriculture should become the basis of the economy of the right bank, and then how it goes.

    The SVO was 8 years late. It was then that it was possible to solve the pathetically stated tasks of denazification and demilitarization in February 2022. Moreover, on the territory of Russia there was the legitimate president of Ukraine, who, in his cowardice, would have signed any document - there was not even the slightest basis for sanctions: Russia was acting at the invitation of the legitimate authorities against the rebels. And Putin decided to play giveaway, give the Nazis time to deal with people sympathizing with Russia, fool the population, and develop powerful fortified areas. And now we are all dealing with the consequences of Putin’s “multi-move”.

In the 14th, sanctions against us began, only then did we begin to understand that buying everything we needed abroad, for petrodollars, deprives Russia of independence.

              There were migrants then, and the onslaught of sanctions would have been the same, but we didn’t have food security then, and we didn’t have many production capabilities either.

              instead of the Crimean Bridge there would have been a normal road many times cheaper, 300 billion would not have been frozen.

              But I'm not sure about this.
              In a nutshell, about everything said above - there was a chance to choke and collapse from such a victorious operation in 2014. They would have torn us apart, and now we would all be sitting under local colonial administrations, with the capital in Yeltsinburg. And it’s a pity for life, who can argue.

            What are you talking about? Didn’t understand the comment? In 2014 there were already heaps of products. But it’s not a matter of unpreparedness or sanctions. We were not ready in February 2022 either. It was the political impotence of the Kremlin. They are pursuing all sorts of pretense from the West. Negotiations, persuasion, empty promises.

                  As a villager, you can probably live on your own farm, and the meat grows in your barn. But city dwellers have to buy everything in stores, so they need to have their own production and not depend on anyone.

                        Yes. Starting from 14, we intensively bought resources from the entire “civilized” world. And by the beginning of the Northern War, they had accumulated a good supply of resources. According to some sources, 300 billion resources, according to other sources - over 400 billion. And the “civilized” world is very grateful to us for this. He is now fighting with us using these resources.

                        And so that he does not experience a shortage of resources, we have also adjusted them for him - 320 billion in 2022-2023 alone.

                        Where do you get this from? Not a single new livestock complex has opened in our Leningrad Region over the past 10 years. On the contrary, feed mills stand without orders.

And in return, which is many times more expensive, we buy imported (often our own). Successes of import substitution. It was not in vain that the Ukrainians were given time to prepare for war. HPP.

        Or they might not have started at all: I repeat - the legitimate (!) president was on the territory of Russia and was ready to sign any document in exchange for the fact that he would not be handed over to Bandera for reprisals. And he will not end his life like Gaddafi or Hussein. And in the event of an official appeal from Yanukovych, there are no grounds for sanctions at all. This is the first thing. And secondly, the West was not ready for decisive actions by Russia - just as it was not ready in August 2008. If they had gone to negotiations in 2008, there would still be a war going on in South Ossetia.

        What's the use of cutting sawdust? At that moment, Vova chose the best development option from all those available to him. In 50 years they will only tell us the whole layout that he had. Perhaps time has shown that this was not the best option. But at the moment of choice, no one could know this, since we are not given to see the future. So all the “ifs” are meaningless.

          He could choose a lot of things. I don’t understand why he didn’t prepare for the worst case scenario? Or did he think that as he chose, so it would be? But there’s a nuance here: this only happened in our country, but in the West they didn’t give a damn about my grandfather’s choice.

        In 2014, the bulk of poultry meat was produced in Russia. By the way, where did we get the stupid habit of separating poultry in general, and chicken in particular, from meat? As if the meat is only pork, beef, lamb.

          I believe my eyes, my memory is fine, I remember the assortment of poultry and other animals. Yes, we had our chicken in stores, as well as pork and cow meat, but imports were presented in a wider range and at prices significantly lower than domestic products.
          Of course, I understand why some are trying to convince me of a mistaken opinion. It just doesn’t fit in with their words that everything should have been done back in 2014. Yes, it was necessary, like Lukashenko when they decided to organize something like a Maidan.

      The SVO was 8 years late. It was then that it was possible to solve the pathetically stated tasks of denazification and demilitarization in February 2022. Moreover, on the territory of Russia there was the legitimate president of Ukraine, who, in his cowardice, would have signed any document - there was not even the slightest basis for sanctions: Russia was acting at the invitation of the legitimate authorities against the rebels.

      I agree with this, although I would go even further; we should have acted in 1991 and prevented the collapse of the country, but unfortunately we don’t have a time machine and we have to sort out the mistakes of the past now.

If we take the rightists, Hitler and Mussolini, for example, they were oriented towards large domestic capital (which supplied them).

              They lived there and will live there. That’s why “halving” won’t work. Or should they be resettled in Kazakhstan again? Tokayev will be against it, I think. To the Far East, to Siberia? After such a relocation, everyone will turn their backs on us. And this resettlement will not solve the problem. The experience of the USSR showed this.

    My personal opinion is that we don’t need to keep other regions under our control besides Kharkov and Odessa. They kept Poland and the Tribalts after the Second World War and restored them. And we receive gratitude from them.
    Let them live as they want and with whomever they want, with the same gayropa. They jumped towards this, we helped them get rid of the Soviet stuff.

    . So, “the taste comes while eating,” and then the aftertaste doesn’t necessarily mean it will be pleasant.
    But, having already gotten involved in a fight, the best thing to do is to retreat, stopping is even more dangerous than trying harder and ending it with a clear, unconditional VICTORY.

    Obviously, victory will lie in ensuring that our people are no longer divided into Russians and anti-Russians (fictitious “Ukrainians”).
    Naturally, this is not about NATO bases. The point is an openly Nazi, extremely chauvinistic regime established by the West on the territory of the former Ukraine. Russophobic hysteria is being whipped up there without any boundaries or limits, simply reaching the point of mass psychosis and paranoia. The degree of zombification of Ukrainians is even higher than that of Islamist terrorist fanatics. They are ready for anything, for any nastiness and meanness. Therefore, to put it mildly, we don’t want to have such a neighborhood.

    It is important that after the capitulation of Ukraine, all historical Russian regions go to Russia. Then they are subject to purge, denazification, arrest of war criminals, SBU officers and other evil spirits. A complete change of governing bodies to people who fought in the Northern Military District in the Russian army and on the side of Russia and the locals who remained loyal to Russia. It makes absolutely no difference how the rest of Ukraine will live. A strong border along its entire remaining territory, no one allowed into Russia on any visas, or through Belarus. Otherwise we will get bogged down in terrorist attacks.

      It is even more dangerous to explain history and politics with a universal argument: “this is happening because these people don’t like them.” So, you can “explain” anything and at the same time you don’t need to understand or think at all. laughing

      Moreover, who, if not a Russian person, has been familiar with the popular Russian argument since childhood; “we will rob you (sweep you away... send you to...) simply because it is profitable for us, and you are a fool - you were mistaken in your expectations. But “It’s nothing personal, you were just unlucky and don’t be offended.” Relations with NATO are about the same thing! Bandera’s people are no worse, they’re just local crazy people and nothing more.

    Khodakovsky asks the question correctly. But I believe that there will be not a defeated Ukraine, but a liberated Western Russia. After the liberation of the territory, you need to clear the territory of Nazis and Banderaites.
    So as not to get their hands dirty, let them run abroad in all four directions. Then restore the destroyed economy. The state language of interethnic communication is Russian. If they want to learn Ukrainian, let them learn it privately. Regarding democratic elections in the former Ukraine. Maintain a moratorium on elections for 25, or maybe 50 years, an example of how Moses led the Jews through the desert until they died out - who was a slave, and who was a Nazi and Bandera in Ukraine.
    As I understand it, there are no unsullied military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they are five years old in the construction battalion for the restoration of Donbass, Little Russia and Novorossiya, the second branch of the BAM, bridges, roads on Sakhalin, Yakutia, and Kamchatka.

    We would still be muttering the mantra “there is no alternative to Minsk”
    And we pretended that we were preparing for something like that...
    But Old Man Lukashenko told everything clearly and intelligibly. When at night 24.02.22/2/3 somewhere around XNUMX-XNUMX a.m., aerospace reconnaissance showed that Tochka-U missile systems had entered combat positions to strike Russian troops then located in Belarus and were being deployed, and into combat position, which was unequivocal, without notification , and more or less secretly. And large strike forces were also already concentrated near Donetsk, which we recognized as independent two days ago.
    And in this situation, a decision came (supported by Old Man) - there was no longer any time to delay!
    Otherwise we will be the first to be attacked!
    And the SVO began, of course, as is now clear, based on false calculations about our forces and the enemy’s forces, about the level of support from the West, the level of terrorization of the population, and even more so hardly with the well-developed questions “what should we do with the occupied territories?”
    Who remembers, we didn’t touch the Ukrainian flags and emblems, and we didn’t appoint an administration, and, naturally, we didn’t carry out events in the front-line zone. And at night they didn’t shoot at the enemy’s barracks, so as not to wake them up.
    But now the enemy is treating us for stupidity, for the third year now, and has come to the point of a terrorist attack in Crocus...
    But just today I listened to Matvienko asserting that we can declare Ukraine a terrorist state....
    So are we getting better? Or is the condition serious but stable?
    Any military action must have clear political goals, Afghanistan is a lesson for this, both for us and for the Americans.

In the 14th, sanctions against us began, only then did we begin to understand that buying everything we needed abroad, for petrodollars, deprives Russia of independence. They cleared it up a little, and now we don’t care about their sanctions.

By and large, people don’t care what the country is called, daily social and everyday concerns are important. The task of governments and presidents is to create the ground for conditional “lace panties” and traditional staples Slavs and other peoples of Russia.
