Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill has said Ukraine needs more drones to fight off the Russian invasion and compared Moscow to the dark side of the force in the film series.

Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the films, was made an ambassador to the United24 project, which donates drones to the Ukrainian army, by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

He told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that he had discussed parallels with the cult films and the current war in Ukraine with Zelensky.

“[Zelensky] did reference the movies and it’s not hard to understand why,” Hamill said, “I mean, Star Wars was always a fairy tale for children and fairy tales are morality tales of good versus evil, where good is clearly defined, evil is clearly defined and it’s not hard to extrapolate an evil empire with Russia invading a sovereign nation.”

Asked whether the platform would be used to supply lethal technology, he answered: “Ukraine needs drones. They have some drones, but not nearly as many as the Russians.”

Hamill also paid tribute to President Zelensky, saying: “I was really fascinated with this man... because he’s been absolutely heroic. And the Ukrainian people have been inspirational. He’s an amazing man.”

Hamill said participating in the project was “a chance to use [the popularity of the films’] for good and I feel a great responsibility to try and do everything i can to further the Ukrainian cause.

In its continued information war, Russia has now restricted access to the music-streaming app SoundCloud, Reuters reports.

SoundCloud was accused of distributing “false information” about what Moscow calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine by communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor (RKN). It follows existing bans on Facebook and Instagram.

“Roskomnadzor restricted access to the SoundCloud service in connection with placement of materials containing false information regarding the nature of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine,” the Interfax news agency reported on Sunday, citing RKN.

It said the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office had ordered the blocking of service. The ban-worthy information apparently related to warfare methods, including “attacks on civilians, strikes on civilian infrastructure, about numerous civilian casualties at the hands of Russian soldiers”.

The head of the UN nuclear watchdog has called for the release of the director-general of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Ihor Murashov was leaving the plant on Friday when he was detained and “driven in an unknown direction” while blindfolded, Ukraine’s nuclear agency Energoatom said on Saturday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said his detention by Russia posed a threat to safety and security.

The agency posted on Twitter late on Saturday night: “IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed the hope that Mr Murashov will return to his family safely and promptly and will be able to resume his important functions at the plant.”

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has pledged that within a week more areas will follow the capture of Lyman by Ukrainian forces.

Agence France-Presse reports that the retaking of Lyman, which Moscow’s forces had pummelled for weeks to control, would mark the first Ukrainian military victory in territory that the Kremlin has claimed as its own and has vowed to defend by all possible means.

Ukraine’s defence ministry announced its forces were “entering” Lyman in the eastern Donetsk region after the army said it had “encircled” several thousand Russian troops near the town. The ministry posted a video of soldiers holding up a Ukrainian flag near a sign with the town’s name.

Zelenskiy said in his evening video address:

Throughout this week, more Ukrainian flags have been raised in the Donbas. There will be even more in a week.

Marco de Wit tuntee tilanteen.


Laiton Lehti kertoi eilen, että venäläisillä oli Lymanissa kaksi vaihtoehtoa:

1. Kilpikonnapuolustus ja vahvistusten odottaminen

2. Vetäytyminen odottamaan vahvistuksia

Ukrainalaisten heittäessä yhä uusia aaltoja uhrimäärästä välittämättä venäläiset päättivät vetäytyä Lymanista.

Ukrainalaiset ovat siis taas saaneet mediavoiton. Mitään suurta sotilaallista merkitystä suhteellisen pienellä noin 15 000 hengen Lymanilla ei näytä olevan.

Itse asiassa Lymanin valtaamisella kirjaimellisesti hinnalla millä hyvänsä ei näytä olevan mitään järkeä. Tässä vaiheessa Ukrainan pitäisi hankkia hyvät puolustusasemat ja värvätä nopeasti lisää miehiä eikä tuhlata niitä hyökkäysoperaatioihin.

Clausewitz aina korosti, ettei taktisilla voitoilla voi paikata strategisia heikkouksia.

Ai, mutta hetkinen! Suomen kaksi strategista neroa, vakoilupäällikkö Pekka ”CIA” Toveri ja natopersujen Jussi Halla-aho ovat vakuuttaneet, ettei Venäjä pystykään toteuttamaan 300 000 miehen liikekannallepanoa! Ukrainalla ei siis ole mitään hätää, vaan se voi jatkaa mediavoittojen metsästämistä. Mediassahan sodat ratkaistaan!

Vihafakta kuitenkin säilyy: Venäjältä saapuu jatkuvasti lisää miehiä ja kalustoa, jolla Venäjän hyökkäysarmeija triplataan yli puoleen miljoonaan mieheen. Mielenkiintoista nähdä kuinka pian lisäjoukot saapuvat ja Venäjä alkaa jyräämään vai odottaako kenties maan jäätymistä.

Venäläiset ovat sinänsä toimineet koko ajan järkevästi ja jonkin oikean sotilaallisen logiikan mukaan, sekä ovat säästäneet joukkojaan, kun taas Ukrainan juutalaisen presidentin Zelenskyn ja monien juutalaisten sotilasjohtajien johtama Ukraina pelaa jatkuvasti rikasta ja rutiköyhää ottaen valtavia riskejä ja uhraten massiivisesti joukkojaan. Läntinen valtamedia on oikein haukkunut ja kiroillut kun Venäjä ei jää taistelemaan viimeiseen mieheen, vaan usein vetäytyy aikaisessa vaiheessa hyökkäystä.

Aiemmin on kuultu, että tuolla Davydiv Brid - Snihurivka alueella kastelukanavat ovat merkittävä este hyökkääjille. Kaippa tässäkin voi olettaa samaa.

No serious military analyst is suggesting that Ukraine is close to being in a position to regain Crimea, but the idea feels much less fanciful than it did a year ago.

“This is moment X. Right now everything is happening in a way that it feels inevitable,” said Tasheva. “It may not happen tomorrow, but I think it will be much quicker than I thought a year ago.”

Even as Russian President Vladimir Putin lays claim to more territory, with his attempted annexation of four Ukrainian regions on Friday, the mood in Kyiv is that a full victory ought to involve not just taking things back to how they were before the February invasion, but regaining all of Ukraine’s territory.

Before, Ukrainian officials said Crimea would be theirs again more out of hope than a firm belief it would actually happen. The same went for most western officials and diplomats, who privately suggested there was little chance of Kyiv ever restoring control.

Now, as Russia struggles on the battlefield in southern and eastern Ukraine, and cracks of dissent appear over president Putin’s unpopular mobilisation drive, some in Kyiv hope the writing is on the wall. “Everything began with Crimea and everything will end with Crimea,” said Zelenskiy, in an August speech.

‘It feels inevitable’: Ukraine starts to believe it can win back Crimea

Even as Russia lays claim to more of the country, confidence is growing that the former territory can be retaken
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com
Ukrainian officials say targeting Crimea is key to stopping the Russian war machine in other parts of occupied Ukraine, and Kyiv appears to have done so several times in recent months, most notably in early August, when several explosions rocked the Saky airbase.

“Crimea is the key base for their army reserves. It’s where they have their bases for ammunition, hardware and soldiers, so of course destroying these bases is a major part of de-blockading our territory,” said Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior aide to Zelenskiy.

Inside the peninsula, Russian authorities have stepped up a crackdown on dissent, and Sergei Aksyonov, the Kremlin-installed leader of Crimea, went as far as to threaten that anyone who sang pro-Ukrainian songs would be prosecuted.

“People who chant slogans, sing songs or nationalist hymns will be punished according to the criminal code,” he said earlier this month, after six guests at a Crimean Tatar wedding were arrested when footage was shared of guests dancing to a song that calls for Ukraine to be freed “from Muscovite shackles”.

“People who behave like this are traitors … if you don’t love our country then leave and go to the place you do love,” said Aksyonov, who was a marginal local politician before Moscow installed him as leader in 2014.

“Crimea is a different case. Our laws will not have a retrospective aspect,” said Iryna Vereshchuk, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister. “People believed Russia was there for ever, and you could not function there without interacting with Russian authorities.”

There are other tricky questions. Between 500,000 and 800,000 Russians have moved to the peninsula since 2014, according to Ukrainian estimates. Technically, they have all entered the territory of Ukraine illegally. Then there is the question of property transactions since 2014. Should Ukrainian law recognise any of them?

A neo-Nazi pro-Kremlin group active in Ukraine is inciting atrocities against prisoners of war and explicitly advocates the torture of captives including “removing body parts”. The self-styled “Task Force Rusich” is fighting in Ukraine on behalf of the Kremlin and is linked to the notorious Wagner Group mercenaries.

A message on Rusich’s Telegram channel sent on 22 September advocates the “destruction of prisoners on the spot”.

Adam Hadley, executive director of Tech Against Terrorism, a London-based initiative supported by the United Nations, said: “Rusich, an openly neo-Nazi group highly likely operating on behalf of the Kremlin, has promoted the commission of war crimes in the conflict.

“Despite Putin’s claims, the actions of Rusich in the conflict demonstrate the concerning prominence of neo-Nazi groups committing atrocities on behalf of the Kremlin.”

Rusich fighters, known for their brutality in Syria and the 2014 war in Crimea, have been spotted on open sources in Ukraine’s Donbas region, Kherson and in the Kharkiv region.

In another school, just over 100km (62 miles) north of Balakliya, in the village of Ivanivka, head teacher Lidiya Tina - a professional educator with more than 40 years' experience - says she was detained for 19 days after refusing to set up a Russian school.

"As I was trying to flee Kharkiv, I was detained. A car pulled up and three masked men with assault rifles got out. They put a gun to my throat and ripped up my teaching diploma in front of my face," says Lidiya, 60.

She says a bag was put over her head and then she was placed in solitary confinement for five days. "My soul ached," says Lidiya. "I thought: 'No-one knows where I am.'"

She says she was beaten and forced to kneel, and made to believe she would be executed. "They tried to force me to learn the lyrics of the Russian anthem, but I refused."

The Russian authorities did not respond to the BBC's request to comment on Lidiya's claims.

There was pressure not just on teachers, but parents too. "Parents were threatened that if they didn't send their children back to school, their kids would be taken to an orphanage," says Svitlana Shvid, head of education in the Balakliya region, with oversight of its 19 schools.

In the Vovchansk region, teachers told the BBC how Russian guards were stationed in classrooms while students tried to study.

The BBC asked the Russian authorities to comment on alleged threats to parents, but they did not respond.

Kehittyy. Bilyaivkan pikkukylä kiistanalainen. Mikäli UA kykenee pelloilla etenemään nopeaa vauhtia, niin ryssillä on suuri vaara joutua minimottiin Dudchanyn kohdalla, jossa Dnipro tekee pienen koukkauksen länteen. Valtatie T0403 on siinä lähellä rantaa ja siinä on silta.

Eräs mahdollinen suotuisa kehitys on sellainen, että ryssä joutuu vetäytymään nopeasti Dudchanyn eteläpuolelle ja räjäyttämään ao. sillan. Twiitistä löytyy karttaa en sitä erikseen laita.
