Last weekend there were events of fundamental importance.

Russia defended its new territories for the first time, having turned its back on Ukraine in recent referendums.

Doubting skeptics were put to shame - the Russian army repulsed all the attacks of the numerically superior forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So, the last attempt of the offensive of the Ukrainian troops in the areas of Svatov and Kremennaya led to the defeat of 85-90% of the enemy grouping, the power structures of the LPR noted with satisfaction.

There, however, they are not relaxing and are waiting for new breakthrough attempts in the coming days.

The bitter experience of Izyum, Kupyansk and Liman taught our military a lot.

The repulse near Svatov was given immediately after the fiasco of the Ukrainian troops in another direction dangerous for us - Kherson.

The forced evacuation of civilians, promptly organized the day before by local authorities with the support of the center, clearly indicated high risks.

My heart ached - is it really a disaster again ... And it's true, they climbed into our, already Russian, territory as much as two or three battalions, but on armor.

But our guys stood to the death, as once in the Great Patriotic War, military correspondents reported.

Result: 250 Ukrainian soldiers, 11 tanks, 14 armored cars were destroyed.

The enemy is stopped.

Rumor has it that many Veseushniks now refuse to advance.

The situation is still difficult near Zaporozhye, where there is a “colossal” concentration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“There has not been such a large number of army, weapons, Zelensky’s militants since the beginning of the special operation on the line of contact in the Zaporizhia region (and this is 140 km. -

S.A.

),” local authorities testify.

For some time, a powerful blow was expected here, but so far the enemy is only conducting reconnaissance in force, launching "birdies" - the harbingers of shelling, and sometimes trying to land troops to capture the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which the Russian army regularly drowns in the Dnieper.

It seems that our well-organized defense cooled the offensive ardor of the enemy.

The reasons for the activity of the APU are obvious.

Partial mobilization is in full swing in Russia.

Most of the suitable candidates are already in the ranks - they are undergoing additional training, combat coordination (the most experienced are already in the army).

This means that soon they will begin to arrive en masse at the front, replenishing thinned units to the regular strength, replacing fighters in need of rest.

As a result, the balance of forces along the front line will be restored, and it will become impossible to realize the numerical advantage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Igor Strelkov pointed out this circumstance a little earlier.

Like, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have literally two or three weeks left for their attempts.

By the way, Igor Ivanovich himself is already at the front.

That is, systemic factors are beginning to play a role on the Russian side.

Such, and perhaps more important than mobilization, is the very fact of the inclusion of four regions into Russia.

After all, after the formal legal act was followed by the inevitable measures of a military-technical, economic nature, important for the protection of these territories.

And now we hear about the construction of large-scale defensive fortifications where yesterday there was a bare field.

Yes, not banal trenches for prone shooting - with a sapper shovel, but full-fledged fortifications, trenches, minefields with the help of engineering equipment.

So in the near future it will become a little easier, although the strategic confrontation between Russia and the West in Ukraine will undoubtedly continue.

This means that more and more NATO military capabilities and resources can be used in the interests of Kyiv.

The fact that Moscow opposes the entire alliance is no longer in doubt.

NATO de facto got into the Ukrainian conflict, the Kremlin has just admitted.

“This probably requires our internal economic and other mobilization.

One thing is the Kyiv regime, and another thing is the potential of NATO.

This is an additional burden.

But our potential allows us to continue the operation under these conditions,” said Dmitry Peskov.

At the same time, the risk arises for the North Atlantic Alliance itself.

The special operation in Ukraine gives Russia “experience in actually fighting the NATO army, which has already been trained in accordance with NATO standards, NATO command chains, equipped with the latest NATO equipment,” Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna complained, referring to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

It's like that.

And we are not yet considering the factor of the uncontrolled development of the conflict towards confrontation of nuclear potentials.

Here it is time to talk about the risks not so much for NATO, but for the entire Western civilization.

Deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev can develop this thesis.

Against this background, the systemic “calibration” of the objects of the energy system of Ukraine, powerfully launched by our Aerospace Forces last week and continued today with the help of the indestructible miracle UAV Geran-2, looks like a humane way to bring the political leadership of the enemy to his senses in order to prevent the worst.

Blows are being made not only on specific objects, but also on the myth of political Ukrainians about the supposedly wonderful life in Europe for the new “white masters”.

Freezing in the dark, without communication, gas and other benefits of civilization, many adherents of the myth will think.

And the most stubborn ones will deal with General Surovikin.
