It has not been in the shadows at all but we haven\u2019t really dived deep into it in the thread, first Zelensky went to the MENA states’ summit and received positive feedback and then off to the G7 where he was praised by everyone, and then Modi showed up for a private meeting.<\/p>\n

Indonesia, Korea, someone else \u2013 everyone wanted to meet Zelensky. Putin was not invited to any of the comrades’ clubs.<\/p>\n

China has also had its meeting with all the old Soviet states and Putin was not invited there either.

And for the BRICS meeting in South Africa, Putin got a Zoom link.<\/p>\n

Russia is completely marginalized in all contexts including BRICS \u2013 hard to find another angle on that.<\/p>\n

Now Zelensky has also taken the opportunity at both meetings and all other meetings to pitch his peace plan.

It came already in November and in December 2022 he urged the G7 to approve it. After the G7 he is to meet African leaders.<\/p>\n

\nWhat is Zelenskyy\u2019s 10-point peace plan? | Russia-Ukraine war News | Al Jazeera<\/p>\n

It’s hard not to support that peace plan, right?<\/p>\n

A question to the history enthusiasts in the thread, how common is it that the leader of one party in a conflict gets as much
\nattention as Zelensky gets?<\/p>\n

Right now he is meeting just about everyone and the doors to the fancy rooms are wide open.<\/p>\n

Something that has flown a bit under the radar though is that additional countries like Switzerland are now starting to seize funds from the barbarians.<\/p>\n

The US has probably already made a deposit to Ukraine with seized funds intended for reconstruction, 300 million USD.<\/p>\n

In total, 300 billion dollars have probably been frozen and the idea is that there is as much hidden around the world in barbaric blood money.<\/p>\n

Japan has just frozen the assets of 100 people.<\/p>\n

I think the world has slowly accepted that the Russian elite\u2019s assets should be tracked down, seized, and if ordered, sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

There were again many negative pessimists in the thread who firmly claimed that Russia could never be forced to pay war reparations because_it_has_never_happened.<\/p>\n

The fact is that these extremely negative pessimists have so far been wrong about everything so it\u2019s quite likely they will be wrong about the rest of their assumptions too. It\u2019s probably in the nature of pessimism that everything goes badly, even being a pessimist.<\/p>\n

You have to say that the West has handled this quite nicely, right, 500-600 billion USD is not pocket change and it stings.<\/p>\n

There is another angle to this \u2013 they have not sent large sums to Ukraine yet but they have frozen large sums.<\/p>\n

Presumably, discussions are ongoing with those who can be considered opposition with frozen assets where they hint that these can be thawed in exchange for certain steps in the right direction?<\/p>\n

After all, there is only one person responsible for the funds they stole with their own sweat so that the family can live like a modern version of a god in Londongrad now being seized. The dinners are probably completely frozen when the wife and children no longer get the weekly diamond ring.<\/p>\n

Why should one accept that the entire family\u2019s wealth, which one has worked very hard to steal over many long years with champagne and caviar, be forfeited just because one man\u2019s empire dreams crashed completely?<\/p>\n

Suddenly it happens and No.1 on the bubble list is broadcast worldwide \u2013 the wriggling pi\u00f1ata dangling at the feet in a gas station. It might happen that they run the deluxe version and pour some gasoline on it too.<\/p>\n

Then you have probably seen UA\u2019s latest pitch \u2013 the regions or provinces that BORDER Ukraine will be demilitarized on the condition that they have good relations with Ukraine \u2013 don\u2019t know if we will get there but it\u2019s really a very clever idea, and voluntary.<\/p>\n

Pro-Russian forums have gone all-in again and are cheering over Bakhmut, a big day for Russia and the final victory is around the corner. It\u2019s a bit unclear if the city has fallen or if UA still holds some houses.<\/p>\n

The practical significance of that is zero for RU, probably negative because Prigozhin then pulls away the capable Wagner units and leaves behind the prisoner companies that cannot fight. It could in fact happen that the Russian army sends in blocking units and they start fighting each other which would be even better.<\/p>\n

We have guessed that UA fought with small mobile units in the built-up area in Bakhmut towards the end and they have built a city under the city so to speak to be able to move underground. Videos of the defense have looked competent where they make holes in walls to get their shooting fields.<\/p>\n

It will probably come out eventually what numbers they fought with towards the end but it was probably not many.
\nIf they retreated it was in good order out of the last blocks.<\/p>\n

I thought about posting Prigozhin\u2019s statement for the archive but don\u2019t want to, he probably declared victory a few days too early.<\/p>\n

We had already when we discussed the big campaign plan a few months ago understood the value for UA to hold Bakhmut. Now that UA is pressing on both flanks the value is low for RU, it\u2019s only positive for them that UA does not have presence in the built-up area IF they can stabilize the flanks, which they don\u2019t seem to manage. Because they plan to retreat to the Svitlodarsk-Popasna line.<\/p>\n

It would also have been good for further offensive but this was their last offensive.<\/p>\n

If they cannot stabilize the flanks, the 70,000 dead (according to Reznikov) is the price for Prigozhin\u2019s continued political career and nothing else.<\/p>\n

Time for all pro-Ukrainian debaters who screamed that Bakhmut would be abandoned to apologize, I think.<\/p>\n

70,000 put out of combat says a bit about the total losses during the war, if one chooses to believe Reznikov.<\/p>\n

Prigozhin is really the worst kind of traveling salesman of death and also has a matching appearance. His hateful outbursts in YouTube videos lately have been an eye-opening insight into how he behaves towards his fellow humans behind closed doors. Bludgeoning to death is probably one of the more humane punishments if one may guess. Wagner is a death cult like ISIS probably.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Accent Man posted this morning in yesterday\u2019s thread by MTX, and while I was eating waffles and watching I missed all the essential parts, had an interesting detail \u2013
\nThe new brigades are formed in the 9th and 10th army corps.<\/p>\n

We have written about this for a long time and it felt like a confirmation that they pulled some out already in September and others when the winter offensive was paused to wait out the fiasco and they have been trained, equipped, and rested since then. All had combat experience from before.<\/p>\n

They have therefore not been part of the defense during late autumn, winter, and spring.<\/p>\n

One should not underestimate the enormous blow that is on its way here. For those with a long memory, we talked about the critical mass being on Ukraine’s side already in spring 2022.<\/p>\n

Now we know, since we read Rybar, that one of the army corps has been moved behind the southern front, which is the obvious thing.
\nThe question is where are they sending the other?<\/p>\n

They don’t need to send it to Bakhmut, we can probably conclude that.<\/p>\n

Defmon came with an update that someone posted in the thread last night, and he also points out that RU is now fortifying the “Svitlodarsk-popasna line,” which we also discussed the other day. How he knows which units are fortifying a line so far back would be interesting to know, of course \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

That it was the next logical defensive line was probably not so hard to figure out, though.<\/p>\n

That it would be LPR units in Horlivka and that line was also a good guess from us apparently, cool.<\/p>\n

It’s a bit like when The Phantom came in the mailbox as a child, the same feeling opening Defmon’s scribblemap and checking the positions of the RU units.<\/p>\n

If his map is correct, RU does not intend to hold Opytne \u2013 southern Zaitseve for very long but only until the new line is fortified, which we also reasoned about?<\/p>\n

I counted 17 units (in various conditions!) holding the part of the Bakhmut front that will fall and 8 units defending the Svitlodarsk-popasna line.<\/p>\n

RU has thus currently deployed 25 different units there, brigade size down to battalion, and personnel strength is highly unknown.<\/p>\n

But\u2026<\/p>\n

This is a small front and there are 5-6 more.<\/p>\n

We have received hints that they have pulled units from Avdiivka, Vuhledar, the southern front, and probably somewhere else.<\/p>\n

They weaken all other fronts to be able to hold the Bakhmut front.
\nAnd UA is holding back its offensive reserve.
\nIs there anyone who still thinks that Bakhmut was poorly fought?<\/p>\n

I believe we now have the entire Bakhmut operation investigated actually and how this will play out. RU falls back to its new line and then the combat objectives are achieved.<\/p>\n

Notably, RU is weak near Kupiansk and there UA has a tank brigade. Now that we have sorted out Bakhmut, maybe it\u2019s time to look at that area?
\nNot because it\u2019s next in line but how UA must act to retake it.<\/p>\n

The Dnipro line also looks worryingly weak for RU \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

There is an attack vector south of the Siversky Donets and that is to take Lysychansk.
\nAgain, Defmon\u2019s map shows it looks like RU is preparing to defend Severodonetsk and abandon Lysychansk.<\/p>\n

Since UA is holding Bilohorivka up in that area, it\u2019s likely. Especially when the larger front collapse comes around Bakhmut.<\/p>\n

Soledar is part of the offensive around Bakhmut but it will also affect the defense just north of it and UA will find some opening and give the Russian defense up there a solid uppercut.<\/p>\n

The quick-footed remember that Lysychansk is on a height so they can throw stones at the defense of Severodonetsk and we will see a lot of dead Russians in Severodonetsk going forward.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll see if I can find the big offensive post today and do a repost because I suspect I don\u2019t remember everything correctly.<\/p>\n

S and N regarding Bakhmut and around Soledar should start moving, at least Klischivka is either already taken or at least planned to be retaken.<\/p>\n

Then we should see amphibious operations at an unnamed river.<\/p>\n

UA dominates totally right now, the initiative has completely shifted to them and they are driving RU ahead of them with a sharp stick that they poke them in the back with.<\/p>\n

That RU has had to weaken all other fronts just to stabilize Bakhmut is sensational.<\/p>\n

When they have fallen back to the Svitlodarsk \u2013 popasna line, they will need several thousand defenders of Horlivka so they will need to send even more in there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Something that has flown a bit under the radar is that more countries like Switzerland are now starting to seize funds from the barbarians.<\/p>\n

Japan has just frozen assets for 100 people.<\/p>\n

I think the world has gradually accepted that the Russian elite\u2019s assets should be tracked down, seized, and if ordered sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Presumably, discussions are ongoing with those who can be considered opposition with frozen assets where they hint that they can be thawed in exchange for certain steps in the right direction?<\/p>\n

After all, it is a single person who is responsible for having stolen funds earned by the sweat of his brow so that the family can live as a modern version of a god in Londongrad, now seized. The dinners are probably completely frozen when the wife and children no longer receive the weekly diamond ring.<\/p>\n

Why should one accept that the entire wealth of one’s family, which one has worked very hard to steal over many long years with champagne and caviar, is forfeited just because a man’s empire dreams crashed completely?<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if Prigozin and Wagner really will be allowed to withdraw or if they will be forced to stay. Maybe they will be forced to go on the offensive on some other front section if Putin preferably wants to get rid of Prigozin.<\/p>\n

Now I hope we soon see Ukraine take the initiative and raise the tempo. If it takes too long there is a risk that Russia will concentrate forces and press somewhere just to disturb (they have, for example, taken some ground near Krasnohorivka).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
