“The Russian EW (electronic warfare) system brazenly hunted Ukrainian UAVs. But it turned out to be a weakling! A reconnaissance drone of the 30th Separate Mechanised Brigade arrived, found the enemy and indicated the coordinates of the artillery that hit the EW,” the statement said.

You do know that "GENOCIDE" IN UKRAINE WAS A FALSE FLAG? And that in a matter of weeks, Russia sent the death toll in Ukraine up by some 26,000% compared to 2021? It ain't Ukraine "keeping the killing going", and you can take that to the bank because even the FSB backed DNR Ombudsman said as much... in December 2020, December 2021 AND in January 2022.

The result of all the collated figures in all the monthly and annual reports collected by Russia's own proxies is shown in the diagram below,

The 2020 source data is included in an annual report, and here it is. (Opens in new window)

2020 ANNUAL REPORT of the Human Rights Ombudsman in the Donetsk People’s Republic

Pertinent pages are 20-25, so the above link jumps to page 20.
Excerpts from page 21:

     Comparative diagram representing death toll, as of 1 December 2020

     It is worth noting that the signing of peace agreements helped
     to reduce the intensity of hostilities. Thus, the number of deaths
     among the residents of the Donetsk People's Republic decreased by 
     9 times in 2017 compared to 2014, in 2019 – almost by 17 times, 
     in 2020 – by 50 times...

     At the same time, a decrease in casualties among the civilian 
     population was facilitated by the unlimited truce announced in 
     Donbass on 21 July 2019.

     Since 1 January 2020, as a result of the armed conflict in the 
     territory of the Donetsk People's Republic, 44 people have been 
     killed (Diagram 6).

The 2021 data that should've gone into another annual summary PDF was so unfavorable to Russian propaganda that it was left obfuscated inside the monthly reports, never making it into an annual summary.

Example 1: Dec 2021 monthly report | ombudsman-dnr.ru

     The overview of the current social and humanitarian situation 
     in the territory of the Donetsk People`s Republic as a result of 
     hostilities between 25 and 30 December 2021

     Within the period between 1 January and 30 December 2021, in the 
     territory of the DPR, 129 people sustained injuries ... 
     97 servicemen of the Republic and 32 civilians. 

     Within the period between 1 January and 30 December 2021, in the 
     territory of the DPR, 7 civilians and 70 servicemen of the 
     Republic died ... 

Example 2: Jan 2022 monthly report | ombudsman-dnr.ru

     CASES OF INJURIES AND TRAUMAS OF VARYING SEVERITY AS A RESULT OF 
     ARMED AGGRESSION BY UKRAINE IN THE TERRITORY OF THE DPR FROM 
     JANUARY 01, 2022 TO JANUARY 28, 2022 
     CIVILIANS: 0      SERVICEMEN OF THE REPUBLIC: 2 
     IN TOTAL: 2 

     DEATH TOLL AS A RESULT OF ARMED AGGRESSION BY UKRAINE IN THE 
     TERRITORY OF THE DPR FROM JANUARY  01, 2022 TO JANUARY 21, 2022 
     CIVILIANS: 0      SERVICEMEN: 1 

No matter how many times the pro-Putin trolls dredge up this allegation, the FSB's own monitors couldn't substantiate EITHER the allegations of "ongoing genocide" or "imminent genocide". All we've ever seen in support of either claim is a statement without any evidence to back it up. And the evidence that has been collected, including the records of Putin's conversations with Zelenskyy (which are published on the Kremlin website) actually show that Russia's "peacekeeping" argument for military intervention in Ukraine was strongest in 2014-2016, weakened between then and July 2019, and ceased to have any validity after Christmas 2019.

Perhaps another Russian rebel lighting attack is planned for Shebekino like the one on Belgorod. I read that Putin had thousands of citizens removed from the local towns and cities. This must put a serious crimp on logistics to help the troops fighting inside the Ukraine borders when all the roads are being clogged with fleeing/evacuated citizens. Sounds like a good stratege to me.

Apparently this whole area was once part of Ukraine. Around Belgorod it was said the people speak Russian, but with a Ukraine accent. I wonder if this is also a good way to recruit more Russian rebels for the cross border counterattacks. In related events, I saw one of the videos here about the most recent drone attacks on Moscow. Apparently several exploded in the Oligarch enclave of Moscow, and the common people are rather pleased to see the rich having problems instead of the little guys.

Denys Davydov, eh?

The Real Denys Davydov - a deported con man and criminal

"PER CURIAM Petitioner Denys Davydov, a citizen of Ukraine, was charged as removable under INA § 237(a)(2)(B)(i) for having a conviction of a controlled substance violation. AR 925-26, 1453. He subsequently applied for cancellation of removal, asylum, withholding * This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not 2 of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) on the basis of his Jewish religion. "

So, this clown, after being convicted of a drug offense, tried to con US immigration authorities into believing that if he was deported to Youcrayne he'd be persecuted or tortured because of his Jewish religion. They didn't buy it. Bye, bye, Denyssss!

Never trust anything this, or any other con man, including the gay-dancing grifter, says.

pfft

It is clear that you must read. Try this on for size:

“And so, Biden’s approach to the war is reflective of a kind of “hegemonic multilateralism” that presidents Obama and Clinton practiced, which is basically the pursuit of global hegemony as set out by the infamous 1992 Defense Planning Guidance authored by Paul Wolfowitz and disguised with rhetorical nods to “humanitarianism” and the importance of multilateral international institutions such as the UN.

But there are serious risks in such an approach. Beebe, who has long experience with Russia, says Biden’s wartime policy reflects a zero-sum mentality that is “something that we’ve accused the Russians of, I think with some justification, for many years.”

The idea that whatever weakens Russia and hurts Putin is good for the US, says Beebe, “makes us susceptible to winding up in strategic situations in which our interests are actually hurt. As the Russian conventional military weakens, one of the dangers is that Russia’s dependence on its nuclear arsenal grows.”

Freeman’s assessment is equally bleak.

“The US, our NATO allies, Ukraine, and Russia are now locked into long-term hostility. It is entirely possible that the conflict in Ukraine’s east and south, like that between India and Pakistan in Kashmir, will sustain warfare for decades to come. If so, there will be a constant danger of an outbreak of hostilities on Europe’s eastern frontiers and of escalation to direct conflict between Russia and the United States, including a possible nuclear exchange,” he said.

“Given the absence of any serious diplomatic dialogue between Washington and Moscow,” said Freeman, “it is far from obvious how such escalation can be prevented.”

I understand that. Thank you.

It is the US and UK who refuse to even entertain or allow any kind of Peace Talks. Zelenski has contacted Chinese Premier Xi to mediate peace talks.

When the US and UK allow Peace talks, it will be good.

“Russian forces continue redeploying their forces across Ukraine, further giving more and more opportunities for the Ukrainians to destroy areas of forces concentrations.”

Well done. Keep up the great work Ukraine!

TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE POSITION OF UKRAINE:
“We know it’s crucial that we stay until the end - and beyond. There is no substitute for being a free, independent nation: as we did during the 1917 Russian Revolution, the Ukrainian famine of the 1930s, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the first Russo-Ukrainian conflict in 2014 and now 2022. We can’t, we won’t give up now!”

Patrick Henry would concur:
“Gentlemen may cry peace, peace- but there is no peace! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why should we idle here?...I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
