As part of a sudden comprehensive inspection of the troops of the Central Military District, the Strategic Missile Forces formations deployed in the district are put on full alert with withdrawal to combat patrol routes (IBE).
The units of the Strategic Missile Forces, involved in a surprise check, will work out the tasks and introductory missions in cooperation with the attached units of combat, logistics, security and reconnaissance, as well as perform tasks on the conditional launch of missiles.

In addition to the Strategic Missile Forces, the Airborne Forces were involved in the maneuvers: the Ivanovo 98 Division, the Ulyanovsk 31 Brigade. The training venues are selected polygons of the Chelyabinsk, Samara and Kemerovo regions. Participate in the exercises 15-I separate motorized rifle brigade, 2-I and 41-I combined armies.
If we talk about the use of military equipment during the audit, the numbers here are also impressive: about 250 planes and helicopters, more than 5 thousand cars, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, BMD, tanks and other equipment.
The teachings will last until June 28.
The main question that accompanies any recent Russian military maneuvers: is this sudden check of the combat readiness of the Central Military District troops related to events in Ukraine? Moreover, it adds a piquancy to this issue and the fact that in the midst of military exercises, Vladimir Putin suddenly called on the Federation Council to terminate the ruling allowing the Russian president to use military contingent in the territory of the Independent Square.
To try to answer this question, you need to carefully look at the facts that are - that is, the information that is in the shared mode. The troops of the Central Military District, as already noted, undergo a sudden check for the second time this year (the first was held in February) - just after the Maidan, fairly reinforced by Western “rolls” and radical shouts, brought about an anti-constitutional coup with bloody consequences. Those exercises, according to representatives of the Ministry of Defense, for obvious reasons, were announced as maneuvers that have nothing in common with the situation in Ukraine. They believed everything, especially in Kiev ... But in that case, Russian troops were checked, which is called near the Ukrainian border. And what about this time?
This time, the combat readiness of the Russian troops is checked at a more than impressive distance from the Ukrainian borders. So - now there is no connection between the Ukrainian events and the Russian surprise check of the troops? Well, this is unlikely ...
The order to start the maneuvers was given to the Supreme Commander at the very moment when there were consultations that representatives of different parties would gather in Donetsk and discuss at the table the possibility of at least a temporary ceasefire, and at that moment when Poroshenko set out his “peace plan” . That is, the Russian maneuvers can be considered a kind of catalyst for the appearance of Kiev at least a hint of a desire to begin the negotiation process on the peaceful settlement of the situation in the Donbas. Moreover, the catalyst is not so much the fact that large-scale exercises have begun, but the fact that their direction is eastern, not western. Kiev showed this hint in the form of Kuchma’s special envoy ...
That is, the logical chain here is this (quotation marks are proposed to be arranged by the readers themselves): Poroshenko to Putin: peace plan, Putin - Poroshenko: non-directed maneuvers against Ukraine, Poroshenko - Putin: Kuchma at consultations in Donetsk, Putin - Poroshenko: Ambassador Zurabov, his godfather Medvedchuk and the withdrawal from the Federation Council of the document authorizing the use of Russian troops in Ukraine, which are not already used. Damn it, who's trolling whom? .. Or the recent informational blows no longer allow us to objectively assess the situation and realize that these are Kiev’s real steps towards Moscow and vice versa?
So, let us assume that this is not a mutual trolling, but a forward movement towards settling the situation in the Donbas. Well, let's make an effort and suppose ... Then after June 27 (the deadline for the oral agreement on truce, which was recently reached in Donetsk), we can expect Poroshenko’s plan to actually be implemented, and its implementation will be supported by the Russian authorities. In this regard, it is worth recalling some points of the “Poroshenko’s peace plan”:
The withdrawal of illegal armed groups, the creation of a guaranteed corridor for the exit of Russian and Ukrainian mercenaries, disarmament.
If we take into account that illegal militia groups in Kiev are considered exclusively by the militias, then only militias will be disarmed ...
Creation in the structure of the Ministry of Interior units for the implementation of joint patrols
Sharing with whom? The militias are supposed to be disarmed, with an obvious unwillingness to disarm those structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which consist of pravosek and other Maidan riffraff.
The release of illegally detained administrative buildings in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
This point logically stems from the first two: after all, if the militia disarms, then the pravoseki and the national guards will receive the will and rush to “liberate” the RSA on the basis of the option.
Restoring the activities of local authorities, updating the central television and radio broadcasting in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.
“Restoration” in the language of Kiev in this case means the return of Taruta and other gentlemen, who also make television manual, which means Russophobic, as in other parts of the Square - for the treatment of the local population.
Well, of course, the apogee of the plan - 10 buffer zone on the border with Russia.
This is a kind of vision Petro Poroshenko epochal fence Kolomoisky. That is, in fact, the “fence”, only 10 is also a kilometer wide, so that if the centers of resistance in the LC and the DPR start to flare up, they will be put out without thinking about the redeployment of the Russian troops - after all, the Federation Council will approve the recall of the same permissive document ...
If Vladimir Putin decided to support just such a plan, then what would the case say about the presidential rating, for example, VTsIOM? .. But ratings are ratings, and politics is politics. Is it possible to say with great confidence that the words of support are the real support?
Moscow, at the same time, has an excellent opportunity to work with Ukrainian "partners" on the international "legal" patterns that the West uses today against Russia itself. That is - in the absence of any legal platforms at all ... Listen to the puppet Kiev, agree with him and do it your way - Isn’t it a variant of the new Russian policy regarding the Ukrainian authorities?
Therefore, the only conclusion that suggests itself in this situation is that there will not be a big (third, fourth, ennoe) war in Europe, at least in the near future, even if this is what the puppeteers of Kiev "power" really want. In this regard, someone will call Putin a peacemaker, someone a coward, but this does not change the essence of the matter - the horizons of the big war have been moved away (how far they moved away - this is a separate question). For the kitchen "Napoleons" - grief, and for ordinary residents of the same Donbass - real hope.
But the undercover battles, perhaps, will increase. One of these battles can be observed right now: against the background of seemingly unprecedented steps to de-escalate the conflict from Moscow (one appeal to the Federation Council is worth something ...) the Russian president systematically promotes the idea of building the South Stream, convincing the Europeans that the project is more than rational. Austria has already given the go-ahead. If we consider that South Stream, under favorable conditions, will work in a couple of years, then the US influence on Europe and on its contacts with Russia through the implementation of new and new ukoscenarii with Maidan, pravosekami and "ladies" will steadily decline. Against the background of steps to de-escalate the conflict, the army participates in large-scale maneuvers (moreover, a day before the expiration of the armistice agreement), before June 28. Trifle? Useless mess against the background of "surrender" of New Russia? The big-big question, given the realities of modern politics. A drawn club is even on the Chelyabinsk training ground, even a couple of kilometers from the border with Ukraine - a brought club. Over whom it is brought - he sees perfectly, and he is forced to check his actions with her swaying.
And Putin’s accusations of cowardice in many ways resemble the situation of August 2008 of the year, when there were reflections on why Moscow, forcing Georgia to peace, did not send troops to Tbilisi (by the way, they still go). Moving troops to hang Saakashvili in one place and turn him into a national hero? The victory is great ... Saakashvili went to the garbage by the decision of the people of Georgia. Heroes in other places ... And his ukroklegi will go. Repeating the American "feat" in Iraq - is this not the main bait for Russia (in Georgia and Ukraine) by the same United States, which needs a desperate need of a great war for others?
By the way, it was stated that the president “will not be able” to use the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine. But after all, the LC and the DPR is not Ukraine at all, but the Union of People's Republics ...
