DNR Deputy Defence Minister E А Basurin told journalists that the operational situation all along the line of demarcation deteriorated in recent days, “Despite the numerous claims that Kiev is committed to the Minsk agreements, units of the Ukrainian forces, especially, the so-called National Guard, stepped up the intensity of their attacks on our land. In recent days, the number of daily violations has gone up from 30 to 50. We link this increase in the number of serious provocations with the forthcoming EU Summit on Monday 27 April on the Ukraine; the Kiev régime wishes to complicate the situation in [Novorossiya] so that it can continue to receive regular funding tranches to maintain its rule. According to our intel, Kiev’s formed seven mobile battlegroups in the combat zone along the contact line, reinforced by Grad MLRS batteries that fire indiscriminately on our towns, rapidly displacing after firing. I’d say that the diciest situations are around Novaya Marevka, Shirokino, Gorlovka, Zhabichevo, Grigorovka, Lozovogo, Spartak, Telmanovo, Sosnovka, Sakhanki, Oktyabrskaya, and Donetsk airport. Currently, our units aren’t able to counter the actions of the Ukrainian side adequately because they lack heavy weapons, which we withdrew from the combat zone according to the Minsk agreements of February this year. We call on Kiev to immediately stop its provocative shelling of our towns in the DNR and move on to actually implement all points of the Minsk agreements”.

The C3I situation in the junta forces is an anarchic jumble (no, Neil McCabe, that isn’t “Russian propaganda”, it’s a stone-cold fact, as my facts will prove). The so-called “National Guard” is NOT under the Minoborony Ukrainy… it’s unclear whether its notionally under the MVDU or the SBU (it certainly isn’t part of the regular VV MVDU)… that is, it’s a paramilitary, NOT a military, unit. It’s a modern analogue of the SS… in all respects. It’s a body of untrained, ill-disciplined, and insubordinate fascist fanatics outside of the normal military chain-of-command, which Mr McCabe would know if he got his news from other sources than the Western media. This isn’t the only force outside of the normal chain-of-command on the battlefield. I’m not going to go through it all again here for Mr McCabe’s benefit. It deserves its own post (and it shall get such, for all patriotic pro-Holy Rus posters have to beware of smarmy ignorant Anglos like McCabe and know how to deal with them).
The main reason the junta forces are failing is that its forces lack a unified command and control structure. That’s why they’re going to go down to defeat. The patriots have unified armed forces… the junta fascists do not… most emphatically. All the American “advisors” and “trainers” in the world won’t change that fact.
Also… the Grad MLRS is an area weapon, incapable of precise use. According to Soviet/Russian tactical doctrine, one uses it to lay down area barrages in front of advancing troops, to keep an opponent’s head down as one’s own forces go on the attack. However, on the contrary, the junta uses the Grad for terror bombardments… you see, relatively-untrained troops can use this system, it doesn’t require the trained men that regular artillery does, and each separate launcher only requires a crew of three. Therefore, the junta can give them to clueless Right Sector Galician Uniate nationalist hillbillies… you simply point the launcher in the general direction of the target and fire off the 40 rockets in each load. Then, it takes two minutes to ready the unit for departure, you skedaddle, and a trained crew can reload the launcher in 10 minutes (that means that untrained junta militants would take twice as long). If each battlegroup had a battery of Grads attached, with four launchers per battery (losses necessitated reducing units per battery to four from six), that means that there’d be 28 Grads present, a believable number as the Ukraine had 120 Grads prior to the war. Each four-unit battery is capable of firing 160 12.2-cm rockets in 20 seconds (each launcher can fire its 40 rockets in 20 seconds).
In short, this is isn’t “Russian propaganda”… something that Mr McCabe would know if he an ounce of military knowledge… but it’s clear that he doesn’t. Such is the world. Don’t argue with such sorts in the commboxes… that’s the surest way in the world to get banned. Keep it focused.

Take a GOOD look at the above image. THAT is what the Rada glorified when it glorified the Nazi collaborators of the VOV. Many Galician Uniate nationalists willingly aided the Nazis. However… bear THIS in mind… many good Galician people FOUGHT the Uniate fascist pigs. That’s why the partisan war there was so bitter… it was a real civil war. The Reds and the real patriots fought against the pro-Western sell-out scummers. That sounds like today, doesn’t it? Draft-dodging is as endemic in the Western Ukraine as it is elsewhere. That tells you something… if the junta can’t even count on the support of its supposedly most-solid region, how long does it have left? I’d say, “Not long”…
