The Atlanticist "counter-offensive"
Nicolas Cinquini, senior intelligence analyst, former intelligence officer within French State agenciesthe last NATO attempt to avoid defeat in its proxy war in Ukraine against Russia

The preamble is a mysterious event. Through its military support to Ukraine, NATO is depleting its own stocks and its impatience is growing to watch a counter-offensive. Here is the event, while the battle for Bakhmut is going on, a meat grinder for the Ukrainian cannon fodder and many foreign mercenaries, where the Atlanticist forces are controlling now less than 5% of the city, at its western end

- Act I
On May 9, 2023, French news agency AFP announced the death of journalist Arman Soldin, during a Russian shelling in the vicinity of Chasov Yar. My first question was why had he come to maybe the worst point of the whole front line, where the Russian artillery and air forces are pounding the Atlanticist reserves, only 15 km west of downtown Bakhmut.
- Act II
Moreover, Ukraine paid tribute to Oleksiy Titarenko, a senior adviser to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had been killed the same day in Donetsk region [Donetsk People’s Republic], in Chasov Yar, Ukrainian private channels detailed. I guess alongside the French journalist.
- Act III
On May 10, NATO military committee states that Valery Zaluzhny, the Ukrainian chief of staff, does not participate that day in a scheduled joint video conference. The rumor of his death is spreading and the deputy defense minister, Hanna Maliar, is bound to publicly deny the alleged liquidation of our commanders.
To be or not to be, that is the question

- May 11, 2023
In the evening, Russian journalist Alexander Kots, from reliable sources, states that the expected Atlanticist counter-offensive may have begun in the north, not in Donbass, from Kharkov region toward Russia, with Western armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) which have been spotted in columns. The Russian air forces are also striking in the region of Chernigov, about 500 km northwest of Kharkov.
Meanwhile in the south, an accumulation of landing crafts has been seen near Berislav, about 75 km upstream of Kherson, on the right bank of Dnieper river. The Atlanticist forces may attempt to cross the river. But my focus is on the Western AFVs.
During his daily evening address from his Bunker, Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears tired, to say the least. He pays tribute to a few formations of the armed forces, that is all

- May 12, 2023
The fighting is going on in Bakhmut and in the evening, Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Wagner private military company (PMC), states that the Atlanticist forces are controlling less than two square km

But in the northern suburb, the Russian regular forces seem so far unable to contain an Atlanticist onslaught, which is now threatening the northern part of the city. The enemy accumulation of forces was known for a long time and the counterattack should not be a surprise. It has begun a few days ago. Time is necessary to absorb the shock, nothing unusual at the beginning, but now, there is a problem. The Russian army is losing the gain of a several-month effort of Wagner, moreover, some of the heights which are surrounding the city. If unable to hold the ground north of Bakhmut, when the Western AFVs are not involved so far, the Russian army should not be able to hold elsewhere in Donbass.
- May 13, 2023
In Khmelnytskyi, western Ukraine, about 325 km southwest of Kiev, Russian cruise missiles or/and drones destroy an ammunition depot. Secondary explosions and blaze are tremendous. At 4:52 am, local time, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) records 3.4 magnitude shocks northwest of the city

When will we finally stop putting all the eggs in one basket ?
comments Yuri Kasyanov, a former Ukrainian official. The targeted facility was concealing a huge amount of ammunition and high-tech military equipment from NATO countries.
- May 14, 2023
The day after the raid, the firefighters are still using robots to extinguish the destroyed ammunition depot

The European radioactivity monitoring is clearly showing a rise of gamma dose rate in Khmelnytskyi since May 12

If Russia had used nuclear ammunition, the radiation would have started rising on May 13, not on May 12. Ukrainian journalist and member of Svoboda [liberty], a Nazi political party, Ihor Mosiychuk sounds the alarm, advises to take children away from the epicenters of the explosions.
A dirty bomb is combining radioactive material with conventional explosive, in order to disperse the former. Through the stockpile in Khmelnytskyi of the British depleted uranium (DU) armor piercing (DUAP) shells, Ukraine has likely and unintentionally made its own dirty bomb

- May 16, 2022

In the previous night, Russia conducted a raid in Kiev, where the US had delivered a Patriot air defense system, which launched at least 20 SAMs (surface-to-air missiles), as shown in Ukrainian CCTV footage. Each SAM is costing €5,275,000, for a €105,500,000 total. But at the end, a Russian Kinzhal [dagger] hypersonic missile demilitarized the US air defense system, which is costing $1.1 billion

In the morning, some US SAMs are found in Kiev. This one has not hit a building

- May 17, 2023
The Russian defense ministry details that the raid in Kiev the day before has managed to destroy one radar station and five SAMs launchers. Over a month, the shares of Raytheon Technologies Coporation, the manufacturer, have lost 7%.
- May 20, 2023

Except some armored personnel carriers (APCs), mostly destroyed or seized, no other Western armored vehicles, no Panzekampfwagen, have been involved so far on the battlefield. At 3:50 pm, local time, one year after another liberation, the surrender in Mariupol of Nazi Azov regiment, Yevgeny Prigozhin announces that the Russian forces have achieved a complete victory in Bakhmut, Donetsk People’s Republic, Donbass, Russia. No Atlanticist fighter remains alive in the city

I do not think that a few dozen Western tanks would turn the tide in Donbass or Ukraine. But the spectacle of their combustion may have a larger psychological and political impact than their military influence. That is the reason why failing a real counter-offensive so far, they have not been involved. Because the way the Atlanticist forces have been bled since August 2022, in the trap of Bakhmut meat grinder, may have ruined the opportunities for such a counter-offensive.
- May 22, 2023
In order to ward off the psychological impact of the humiliating defeat in Bakhmut two days earlier, Ukraine is raiding border villages in Russia. A few motorized/mechanized platoons are involved. Noise and panic are the goals. Fake alarming messages are simultaneously addressed to the Russian citizens through social networks. That is a psychological operation (PSYOP).
The targets are in Grayvoron district, Belgorod region

about 80 km northwest of Kharkov

The assaillants are members of Svoboda Rossii [Freedom of Russia] and the Russian Volunteer Corps (Russkiy dobrovol’cheskiy korpus, RDK), a bunch of Nazi defectors, who have deserted recently or settled in Ukraine for years, are usually working for the psychological department of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR), which confirms the operation as its own

Their vehicles are mostly US, MaxxPros and Humvees

As usual after enough noise, the assailants are endeavoring to avoid direct confrontation with the Russian forces (border guards, FSB, national guard, army) and to retreat to Ukraine.
- May 23, 2023
In the morning, the Russian defense ministry claims scores of dead militants in Belgorod region, releases a video which is showing air strikes

Journalists share other documents, which are disclosing enemy corpses, destroyed Humvees and one of the seized MaxxPros


More than half of the assailants may have been killed. That is a carnage for a psychological operation, that Kiev does not comment further. Ukraine has usually no problem with the sacrifice of fighters. As usual, the commando may have let numerous mines behind

Meanwhile, Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits the armed forces in the area of Ugledar and Maryinka, still occupied part of Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), where Kiev is reinforcing its positions but the Russian army is still advancing.
- May 24, 2023
Four days after the Ukrainian defeat in Bakhmut, the Russian navy manages to destroy three unmanned surface vessels (USVs) and their explosive payloads, which race toward a military ship

The attack occurs about 140 km northeast of Bosphorus. Where the drones operate from ? Probably not Bulgaria nor Turkey, rather another ship. Ukraine is unable to carry out such operation alone, has at least received air intelligence from abroad. Once more, NATO attacks Russia through the Black sea grain initiative corridor

The victorious ship is Ivan Khurs, a signals intelligence (SIGINT) vessel, Yury Ivanov-class, which is ensuring the security of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the exclusive economic zone of Turkey

These Ukrainian USVs are already known, are boarding some Canadian-made navigation modules

Russia already blamed United Kingdom for its involvement when on October 29, 2022, nine drones and seven torpedoes attacked Sevastopol harbor, Crimea, were destroyed before reaching the base of the Russian Black sea fleet.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian defense minister, Oleksii Reznikov shares on Twitter a photo that his UK counterpart, Ben Wallace, has dedicated

A Su-24 tactical bomber is carrying a British Storm Shadow cruise missile. The postcard is also identifying the 7th tactical aviation brigade, which is based in Starokonstantinov. A gift to the Russian intelligence.
- May 25, 2023
The video surfaces on Ukrainian social networks. The dialogue between the protagonists is explaining what has happened a few second before : a company leader, who was disagreeing, has shot his battalion commander, who was endeavoring to send his men to the slaughter

The incident may not be the first one. The context is harsh for the Ukrainian cannon fodder of the proxy war that NATO is conducting in Donbass and Ukraine. Many amateur videos have already shown that men who have escaped mobilization, are abducted in the streets or even at home, in order to replenish the ranks. Excluding Wagner losses in Bakhmut, the Ukrainian military casualties are likely ten times the Russian ones. Women are demonstrating in the cities for news about their alleged missing relatives.
War is a simple art, all execution
said Corsican general Napoleone Buonaparte. Through their support, NATO countries are depleting their own stocks, but with more guns and more ammunition, the Russian fire power is far higher. Moreover, airstrikes and missiles are targeting the Atlanticist forces in the deep of the Ukrainian territory. The current Ukrainian military fatalities may be over 250,000.
- May 26, 2023
Despite the claims of the Ukrainian propaganda and its lackeys in the West, victorious Ivan Khurs docks without damage in Sevastopol

- May 27, 2023

For several days, the Atlanticist forces are shelling with US rockets and British Storm Shadow cruise missiles in the deep of the Russian territory. The strikes are spread along and around a line from Vasilyevka, on the left bank of Dnieper river, to Berdyansk, on the Black Sea, about 140 km to southeast, also in Zaporojie region. If successful, an offensive along the same axis may isolate Crimea from mainland Russia

- May 28, 2023
The situation is improving in Ukraine. Three days ago, a company leader shot a battalion commander, in an amateur video which was the first evidence of a mutiny. Today, another document is showing that young people have beaten a recruitment sergeant and enabled the escape of who would have been sent to the meat grinder

For about a year, we have seen the evidences of recruits violent abductions in Ukraine. I was wondering how long it would last before the first cases of legitimate and collective rebellion.
- May 29, 2022
Russia is conducting a new wave of strategic strikes all over Ukraine, aimed at military targets on airfields. In Starokonstantinov for example, about 250 km southwest of Kiev, a stock of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles is hit, as well as planes supposed to launch them, thanks to Oleksii Reznikov (cf. supra, May 24). In the capital, people are seeking refuge in the subway

The actual threat is not Russian. The Atlanticist air defense is launching volleys of US SAMs, which are later raining on the city

President of Ukraine in June, after the right-wing coup in Kiev, late February 2014, Petro Poroshenko disowned and threatened the people who were demanding autonomy in Russian-speaking Donbass
our children will go to schools and kindergartens, their children will sit in basements. Because they can do nothing. This is how we will win this war
That was the beginning of the Ukrainian terrorism. History is cruel and today, Poroshenko is sitting in a cellar

The raid is a success because Kyrylo Budanov is angry. The head of the GUR threatens to make Russia pay, what may mean new terrorist operations

- May 30, 2023
As retaliation for the successful strikes of military facilities the day before, Ukraine targets Moscow with drones. Three ones are jammed, the air defense shoots five others down, according to the Russian authorities, all fall in western suburb. Three ones hit however residential buildings but fortunately, nobody is injured

- June 1, 2023
In the vein of the whole British press, the Guardian publishes a complacent article about the training of new recruits who west of Bakhmut, have replaced the severe losses in the 3rd Ukrainian assault brigade, which was formed in November 2022, with the depot of Azov regiment, a Nazi formation within the Ukrainian national guard

Like ourselves, the subjects are waiting for the Atlanticist counter-offensive. They are aspiring to seize back the city.
A few days before, Yevgeny Prigozhin detailed the human cost of the first leg. Wagner lost 20,000 fighters killed in action. Ukraine consumed 31 brigades. The Atlanticist military fatalities were 55,000, including 6,500 foreigners. And the Russians were the assailants.
- June 2, 2023
Due to the greater Russian firepower, strategic strikes on lines of communication and ammunition depots, a Ukrainian strategy focused on politics and propaganda, huge Atlanticist losses, the sacrifice of dozens brigades in Bakhmut, Ukraine appears unable to conduct a successful counteroffensive, despite the depletion among its Western sponsors of their military resources

Rather than drawing the political conclusions, but as a result of the incitement from NATO and its free-trade area, the European Union, historical hotbed of Nazism, Ukraine is relying once more on terrorism. For about a week, after a PSYOP (cf. supra, May 22) in the same Belgorod region, the Atlanticist artillery is heavily shelling civilian areas at the border. The same terrorist strategy is enforced in Donbass for nine years, was one of the reasons for the Russian special military operation.
- June 3, 2023
Ihor Zhovkva is deputy head of the presidency office. In an interview for the Times, amid usual Ukrainian lies for a complacent press, he states
if you want to start a successful counter-offensive you need everything at your disposal, including artillery, armoured vehicles and tanks, so probably we don’t have enough
That confirms that the Russian strategic strikes on ammunition depots are efficient, are exempting the Ukrainian cannon fodder from a new carnage, because Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his NATO sponsors have no conscience.
- June 4, 2023
Maybe the first test of the Russian defenses at the border between Zaporojie region and DNR, about 130 km north of Berdyansk, where an Atlanticist mechanized battalion is attacking throughout the day

In order to thwart the attack, over a width of 20 km, from Novodaryevka, Zaporojie region, to Neskuchnoye, DNR, the Russian air forces take also action, on the front line and in the deep, against several other battalions in reserve.
- June 5, 2023
I think that the counteroffensive will be when and where NATO Panzerkampfwagen will be committed. In a region about 140 km north of Berdyansk, where Ukrainian formations have already tested the Russian defenses the day before, a few Leopard 2 are spotted in Novodonetskoye, a village that the assailants manage to seize, about 80 km southwest of Donetsk

As expected, the Atlanticist losses are already significant and the first photos of abandoned, likely damaged Western AFVs, surface on social networks. These are French AMX-10 recce vehicles

In the night, the Russian defense ministry counts 137 enemy armored vehicles, including 25 tanks, all destroyed that day in the same region. The Atlanticist forces would have lost eight Leopards and three AMXs.
- June 6, 2023

Terrible news. While the Atlanticist counteroffensive is a farce for any observer with military experience, an explosion blows up the dam of the hydroelectric power plant in Novaya Kakhovka, on Dnieper left bank, 80 km upstream of Kherson. The Atlanticist threat of its destruction was already one of the reasons for the Russian retreat from the right bank on November 9, 2022. Here is a map of the predictable flooding

According to unconfirmed reports, an explosion occurred at 1:30 am, 45 minutes before Russian cruise missiles entered the Ukrainian airspace, in a new wave of strategic strikes on military targets all over Ukraine.
On October 21, 2022, Russia called on the UN Security Council to prevent Kiev from destroying the dam. The Atlanticist forces have previously shelled the power plant and even Zaporojie nuclear one (ZNPP) in Energodar. Russia was controlling the destroyed facility and the consequences will benefit Ukraine. Russian defenses will be flooded downstream, the drop of the reservoir level will threaten the cooling of ZNPP and water supply in Crimea. The Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors are definitely a bunch of maniacs.
At 8:30 am, Volodymyr Zelenskyy initiates the psychological component of that new terrorist operation, accuses Russia and convenes his defense council. The Ukrainian officials are stating that the flooding would prevent a counteroffensive across the river, have now an excuse for their inability to conduct the promised one, due to their strategic errors. They are adding that the flooding are an ecocide, will attempt that way to revive the Western support, despite their failure. Of course, the European stooges are parroting the Ukrainian propaganda.
Meanwhile, 300 km to northeast, the Russian forces regain Novodonetskoye, Donetsk People’s Republic, that the Atlanticist forces have seized the day before at a heavy price. The good news are that the counteroffensive is a bloody failure. That was the motive for the destruction of the dam.

On social networks, some members of Azov regiment are bragging
tonight is the night of the nights

At 1:30 am, an attack begins south of Orekhov, Zaporojie region, about 100 km southwest of the failure on June 6

The assault on the front line is synchronized with shelling in Tokmak, 40 km further south, 60 km north of Melitopol, which could be a new goal, in order to isolate Crimea from mainland Russia. The ammunition are US made GMLRS rockets, that HIMARS are launching

In the evening, the Russian defense ministry releases a splendid video from Orekhov vicinity. An Atlanticist mechanized column is entangled in minefields and shelled, a platoon of Leopards 2 in front, US made M113 behind. At least one Leopard is burning, more seem disabled.
- June 9, 2023
Volodymyr Zelenskyy publishes on Telegram the photo of a military meeting. Commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, colonel general Oleksandr Syrskyi stands at his right. Valery Zaluzhny, the chief of staff, is still missing

At midnight, the Atlanticist attack resumes south of Orekhov. One mechanized battalion is committed, according to journalist Alexander Sladkov. The assailants do not succeed and for the first time, Russian sources are reporting the destruction of several US made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs)

The outcome appears in the afternoon, through a video which has surfaced on social networks. One German made Leopard 2 and several Bradleys are burnt along a trail. The analysis of the whole document shows, in that sole section of the battlefield, the wrecks of 5 Leopards, 6 Bradleys, 3 MaxxPro mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles (MRAP), one French VAB [véhicule de l’avant blindé] armored personnel carrier (APC) and several others

Based on the work of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, through satellite intelligence, here is a map of the Russian defenses in Zaporojie region

- June 10, 2023
A third time in a row, the Atlanticist forces attack the same positions, south of Orekhov, of the 42nd -Evpatoriyskaya Red Banner- guards motorized division. Minefield, artillery, kamikaze drones and anti tank guided missiles (ATGM) repel the mechanized columns. The offensive is losing steam and that time, the Russian defenders do not even need air support

On June 7, Olaf Scholz has stated
we are at war for so many weeks and now, it is important that we take decisive steps forward
Seid ihr ? But the situation has worsened for the German Panzerkampfwagen, since the battle around Kursk, in July 1943. Nowadays, the Nazis are unable to break the first Russian defense line

New Bradleys have agglomerated at the site spotted the day before. Such a traffic jam of wrecked armored fighting vehicles is rare in history

- June 11, 2023
After the repeated failures, for one week, of their mechanized attacks in the same region and one hundred km southwest, near Orekhov, the Atlanticist forces have displaced once more their focus, are now using Stosstruppen tactics, the infiltration of infantry small formations, south of Velyka Novosyolka, at the border between Zaporojie region and DNR

They have managed to temporarily seize outposts, villages like Novodonetskoye, Neskuchnoye or Blagodatnoye, where they are however easy targets for the Russian artillery. While the counteroffensive is a bloody failure, propaganda is the goal of these new attacks, in order to raise Ukrainian flags in battered villages.
NATO also resumes its asymmetric operations. What a propaganda victory if a Russian vessel was sunk in the Black Sea

But Priazovye, a Vishnya-class SIGINT ship, manages to destroy six more Ukrainian USVs, which are attacking in partnership with one US Global Hawk surveillance drone

In Strasbourg on September 14, 2022, Ursula von der Leyen, the German president of the European Commission, stated
Russian military is taking chips from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix their military hardware, because there are no semiconductors anymore. Russia’s industry is in tatters
Let us have fun

- June 12, 2023
In Donetsk People’s Republic, south of Velyka Novosyolka, the 127th -Red Banner Order of Kutuzov- motorized division is repelling the assailants to the north

- June 14, 2023
According to GOP senator Dick Black, Ukraine has lost in one week 7,000 killed in action (KIA), 160 tanks and 360 other armored vehicles

Ukraine’s offensive hit a steel wall. 7,000 KIA, 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles destroyed in just one week with trivial gains. It is a pointless bloodbath. Charred Leopard tanks and Bradley vehicles lie everywhere. Telling Ukraine to fight “for as long as it takes” is inhuman. End this tragic war now
Stepan Bandera, die 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS, Galizien, the war in Donbass has taught us since 2014 that the Ukrainians are in love with stamps. While the Atlanticist counteroffensive is a bloody failure, new ones are honoring the formal chief of staff, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, who however, has not shown signs of life for more than one month, may be in severe condition or even dead

Moreover, in a wide disinformation campaign through mainstream media in the US and Germany, he is also referred as the sole organizer of the attack against Nord Stream pipelines, on September 26, 2022. Zaluzhnyi is a convenient hero.
- June 15, 2023
An alleged plan of the Ukrainian offensive surfaces on social networks. The operation would have begun on June 4, with a feint south of Velyka Novosyolka, Donetsk People’s Republic. A limited attack indeed occurred there. The breakthrough should have been achieved toward Tokmak on June 6. Kakhovka dam was blown up that day and the attack in Zaporojie region, on June 8, was actually a bloody failure for the spearhead of the Ukrainian armed forces, their Western Panzerkampfwagen. The main goal would have been Berdyansk, in order to isolate Crimea from mainland Russia.

After a new wave of cruise missiles strikes against military targets all over Ukraine on June 29 (cf. supra), the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) threatened Russia with new terrorist attacks. But the video of these threats would have been published several hours after his own neutralization. According to RIA Novosti, from intelligence sources, a hit on GUR headquarters has actually injured Kyrylo Budanov, who was evacuated to Poland, then Germany, onboard a US military plane. He would be currently hospitalized in critical condition in a German military hospital in Berlin.
- June 16, 2023
The Atlanticist forces are attacking in vain Pyatikhatki, a village 15 km northeast of Vasilyevka, on the left bank of Dnieper river, in Zaporojie region

The 19th -Red Banner of Labor- motorized division is defending the area, has been reinforced with T-62 tanks, which are used as assault guns

Along the front line, Russian special forces (SSO) are hunting the Western Panzerhampfwagen with ATGMs, sometimes onboard customized civilian vehicles

- June 17, 2023
His source is in the Ukrainian embassy in Berlin. According to Ukrainian opponent Illia Kyva, exiled in Russia, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, has died without regaining consciousness.
- June 19, 2023
The Ukrainian defense ministry releases a video which is showing chief of staff Valerii Zaluzhnyi during a meeting, allegedly on June 17

- June 20, 2023
Kyrylo Budanov seems well, speaks about the rumor of his own death and the dam in Novaya Kakhovka, accuses Russia of having destroyed it.

He adds that Russia would have also mined Zaporojie nuclear power plant (ZNPP), in Energodar, when actually, Ukraine has previously shelled both Russian controlled facilities, the hydroelectric power plant and the nuclear one. Russia has even alerted the United Nations to prevent the attacks against both sites. Anyway, the Ukrainian propaganda jumps at the opportunity, in order to trigger fear

That is the usual strategy of exacerbating the situation. That is how Ukraine has been able to perpetrate false flag war crimes and has destroyed the dam. The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) resurfaces and plays that card while the counter-offensive is a bloody failure.
As usual, some Western mainstream media and among them, the atavistic or else, congenital courtiers in France, are parroting the Ukrainian disinformation

In my mind, the threat is that the Ukrainian authorities and the Nazi deep State are fanatical enough to attempt to ward off defeat through a deliberate nuclear incident in Energodar. Moreover, I suspect that somehow, some governments of NATO countries may be already hostages of these fanatics.
