Ukraine strengthens its positions on the approach to the LPR
For several weeks now, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been strengthening their positions in the Luhansk direction. To a greater extent, the situation is aggravated at the Kremennaya-Svatovo section. War correspondents told URA.RU about problem areas and possible consequences of a breakthrough from the Ukrainian side.
According to RIA Novosti military correspondent Andriy Kots, the armed forces of Ukraine can go on the offensive in three areas that are dangerous for us. “The first section is Zaporozhye, the second is Vuhledar, southwest of Donetsk, and the third is the Kremennaya-Svatovo line. After the regrouping of our troops from Kherson, troops and equipment are transferred there. If the Armed Forces of Ukraine manage to break through the front, it will be very bad. Because the enemy will have the opportunity to enter the LPR, which, let me remind you, is completely freed from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This will be an exit to Lisichansk and Severodonetsk. And besides, the enemy will be able to attack Bakhmut from the north. He is Artemovsk and Soledar, which is now being stormed by our troops, ”said the agency’s interlocutor.
Anna Dolgareva, a war correspondent for the Vzglyad business newspaper, explained that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to make logistics and supplies difficult for the Russian military. “The activity of hostilities has already increased. There is a highway on the Kremennaya-Svatovo section, and if it is cut, everything will be very sad with the supply. The APU is trying to do it. They have already occupied Makeevka, which is located near Svatovo. She was in the "grey zone", and they went into it. Now this is a springboard from which it is quite convenient for them to step on this unfortunate track, ”said the journalist.
The military correspondent stressed that Makiivka was a major breakthrough for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “In general, the situation was quite dangerous. It escalated when the Ukrainians took Makeyevka. We entered the "gray zone" and began to control it. Every time they enter the gray zone, this is the point from which they can attack. The risks of occupying the “grey zone” should not be underestimated. During these eight years, from the Minsk agreements to the start of the NMD, the Ukrainians just occupied the “gray zone”, gradually crawled, moved along it. From time to time, the most dangerous stories for our guys were formed, ”added Dolgareva.
Former LPR Ambassador to Russia, journalist Rodion Miroshnik stressed that the aggravation of the situation near the Luhansk People's Republic began a few weeks ago. “This situation has been in this state for a month, when there were attempts to seep, to break through the columns. Ukraine tested all the methods that could be applied there. Now the situation is alarming, there are reinforcements. We have artillery duels almost every day,” the ex-diplomat noted.
Ukraine has a serious motivation to continue its attempts to break through the defense of the Russian Federation, Miroshnik stressed. “This direction is one of the strategic ones after Kherson. Very serious forces can be transferred there to try to break through. There is a political and military necessity that Ukraine is trying to implement on the battlefield,” the source added. The former ambassador added that all social, educational, medical institutions were taken to other territories of the LPR.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are strengthening in the Luhansk direction by the time when the commander of the Central Military District, General Alexander Lapin, is expected to return from vacation , under which the LPR was previously completely released within the time specified by the President of Russia. The colonel-general was at the forefront from the very beginning of the special operation in Ukraine. The military from the group "Brave" compared him with the commander Georgy Zhukov. According to them, where Lapin is, there is victory. One of the fighters told URA.RU how the commander saved the soldier by sending him to the hospital by helicopter, and the other that he instilled discipline in all his fighters. The general took a three-week leave at the end of October and is due back in action next week. The fighters said that they look forwardwaiting for their leader .

There are lots of loose cannons rolling around Vlad's gun decks as his ship of state starts to sink. He fucked himself and Russia for a generation and may cause its dissolution as a continent-wide federation/empire. Vlad is not Stalin, there is still the structure of a liberal democracy and some rule of law. Putin holds power like Trump would have, he is president and controls congress absolutely through his party. He has/had enough of a base to cheat the rest of the way and he systematically knocked off the opposition and free press over time. There are elections due in Russia next year and if there will be trouble it will be then, you don't draft the entire male population and not suffer for it!How did this get by the censors?

Strange, your take does not seem to line up with what I have read in Russia.

I have my own take and it too is based on what I read about Russia a couple of his warlords are asserting themselves and the military is getting the blame while Vlad lays low. He is a president and there is a duma controlled by him and his ex KGB cronies. So far, he has been able to snuff the opposition, but that is growing fast. Will there be an election? Will it mean anything? After communism fell, they setup the structure of a liberal democracy with its institutions, but there was chaos, corruption and eventually Putin, who played along for a while. The form of a liberal democracy remains, but the substance has been largely eroded away by Putin.

Russian high-tech production
19,822 views Nov 20, 2022
Russian manufacturers of computers, phones, servers are on the verge of a crisis. After Russia carried out a full-scale attack on Ukraine, the Russian market was filled with low-quality microchips and microchips from China. According to the Russian newspaper Kommersant, since the end of February this year, this figure has increased 20 times - from 2 percent to 40. Due to anti-Russian sanctions, the logistics of supplies have been disrupted. Russian companies began to buy electronics not directly from manufacturers, but from intermediaries. What is reflected in the price. See more about the state of electronics production in Russia - in our material.

After the invasion of Ukraine, Russia faced myriads of difficulties.….Most of them are related to the sanctions.
However, the most important (for Russia) among them concern technologies, software, and hardware. Russia is not allowed to use any product or component that has been developed in the countries that applied the sanctions. Google, Apple, Intel, and many other biggies have completely canceled all kinds of cooperation with Russia. In many aspects, the situation is similar to that of Huawei. The Russian company Promobit is preparing to produce a Bitblaze Titan BM15 notebook computer. This laptop will use an in-house-made “Baikal-M” processor.
This sounds quite interesting. But we have to get into details in order to understand whether this model will be able to substitute those used by Russians. As for other key features, the Bitblaze Titan BM15 notebook will feature a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS screen; also, it will come with 16GB memory and 512GB SSD storage; our protagonist will support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; there will be built-in USB 3.0, HDMI, USB Type-C and RJ-45 interfaces as well as an audio jack; lastly, the laptop will sport a 6000mAh battery.
Its brain is a system based on the Baikal-M chip, and it’s certainly worth mentioning that Baikal’s processors are primarily designed for servers, so no one worries about their efficiency on portable devices. Baikal or Elbrus processors, no matter how Russian, may not be made in Russia. There is no factory for the manufacture of modern semiconductors. Both of the aforementioned processors, which will enter the Titan depending on the version, are based on old 28 nm technology from TSMC. The fact that Taiwan has imposed sanctions on Russia and Russia itself includes Taiwan on the list of enemy states, perhaps needless to mention.
According to a review by youtuber Stanislav Vasilievov, the device is quite noisy and its display flashes here and there. Ultimately, perhaps the only Russian SSD from GS Nanotech is worth the praise. Since it’s just a prototype, it’s possible Promobit will eliminate these shortcomings at the start of the sale (which will launch in the second half of this year).
Although he wanted to forgive the device for its details, the Titan’s design really burned out. Although it is only a prototype, so in the end the design is likely to change, the notebook has grown to a thickness of about 6 cm. However, it should be noted that the prototype uses desktop components, which of course also affects the thickness of the chassis. In addition, fixing Li-ion 18650 boards, cabling or battery cells inside the device is completely novice and more reminiscent of a failed student experiment than a professional machine. .

They may have more than crowd funding and could end up in Ukraine, it's not language or even ethnicity, it's about politics. It is in Ukraine's interest to reform the culture and politics of Russia and there will be digital TV transmitters with directional antennas broadcasting into European Russia where 80% of the population lives. They will be on satellite and YouTube as well, which miraculously is still up in Russia, many Russians must depend on it for entertainment.

The Kerch rail bridge is still out and will be for a while, so supplies to southern Ukraine and Crimea must be an issue. They did succeded in knocking out the Kerch bridge and left a way for many Russians and quislings to get out of Crimea too. The heat from those tanker cars of diesel fuel running out and burning apparently weakened and damaged it too much to use unless several spans are replaced. Without a continuous rail link to their front the Russians are screwed and the railway in southern Ukraine to the southwest is under Ukrainian fire control with M 777 using regular ammo. The Russians are desperately trying to drive them back from this area and are suffering massive casualties trying to do it. The Ukrainians will pull back while exhausting the Russians in a defensive fight with artillery support doing most of the killing and then counterattack the Russians when they are spent.

They can "regroup" the shattered remains of their army outside Ukraine while under sanctions with a crashing economy and no power or much rail transport, if they keep attacking Ukraine's power grid.

Canada alone sent a half million winter articles of military clothing like jackets, pants sweaters etc. along with lots of other winter stuff and most NATO countries have sent similar things. Winter camo is just a thin white jacket and pants to go over the other camo stuff along with white helmet covers, they can be ordered up and made fast and cheap.

42 years ago the US got a rude shock when its Iran hostage rescue attempt crapped out because the helicopters could not take desert conditions. The lesson was useful 11 years later.
