The Atlanticist "counter-offensive"

Part I

Part II

• June 22, 2023

Today is an anniversary. 82 years ago, on June 22, 1941, the European Nazi armies from Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Slovakia and Spain attacked Soviet Union

At 5:00 am, with four British Storm Shadow cruise missiles, the Atlanticist forces conduct a strategic strike on Russian lines of communication between Crimea and Kherson region, in Chongar (45°59’16.9″N 34°33’10.1″E), about 160 km southeast of the current front line

where the bridge is damaged

The weather has improved in Zaporojie region and once more, the Atlanticist forces are striving to advance south of Orekhov, toward Rabotino. Several attacks are carried out at 4:00 am and thereafter during the day, waves of infantry that tanks are supporting. A tragic video surfaces from the Russian side. A Ukrainian BMP infantry fighting vehicle comes from the rear, in order to evacuate a squad of infantrymen under fire. Able-bodied and injured ones get in, but on the way to a safer place, a few hundred meters later, an antitank mine blows up the vehicle. According to a scrupulous Russian mathematical model, about 250,000 Ukrainian service members have been killed in action since February 24, 2022.

After the bloody failure of the counteroffensive since June 4, Ukraine needs more cannon fodder. Several categories are usually considered for mobilization

• men between 18 and 60, with military experience,
• men between 25 and 60, without military experience,
• men not too much disabled.

250,000, according to a scrupulous Russian mathematical model, have already been killed since February 24, 2022, more are injured or disabled, other ones are already in the ranks, others have received summons but did not obey, the last were so far more lucky

The order has been signed on June 19, is now public in Kiev region. Those still civilian and well should all pass under the yoke of the recruitment centers within 10 days.

CNN has interviewed two western officials and a senior US military official, who have conceded that the Atlanticist offensive is not meeting expectations on any front. The US and its allies are likely to wait until at least July for a fuller assessment of the results. After the Western Panzerkampfwagen have been bogged down, the assailants are carrying out more dismounted operations, which means waves of cannon fodder. The Blitzkrieg is over. And in this screenshot, south of Velyka Novosyolka, Donetsk People’s Republic, the Russian servicemen are holding the line

Yevgeny Prigozhin has freaked out. In his personal feud against the Russian defense minister, Sergey Shoigu, the head of Wagner private military company (PMC) has claimed that the Russian forces were retreating, which is an obvious lie and Ukrainian propaganda, while they are breaking the Atlanticist attacks for three weeks. In the evening of June 23, he has even called for an armed uprising. The judiciary authorities have opened a criminal case against him and the State security agency (FSB) has asked Wagner fighters to arrest him

In Gustave Flaubert’s novel, the mercenaries wanted money, Prigozhin is seeking power. My opinion is that he is either insane or a player of the Atlanticist hybrid counteroffensive. A joke is trending on social networks

Objection ! The defendant could not organize an armed rebellion because the defense minister has not provided him with enough ammo !

I think now that during the battle for Bakhmut, Sergey Shoigu was pretty right. More seriously, the dispute over ammunition supply was then the result of Wagner tactics on the battlefield. The private fighters are attacking with a huge artillery support, are using far more shells than their counterparts. At the scale of the whole Russian special military operation, Wagner was an abyss for ammunition.

Fomer US intelligence officer within the US Marines Corps (USMC), then United Nations inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter has written a must-read article. MISE (Money, Ideology, Sex, Ego) is the matrix that the intelligence agencies are using worldwide, in order to recruit agents. Ritter tells us how the oversized ego of Yevegeny Prigozhin may have enabled the Ukrainian and Western intelligence agencies to make him the ultimate and pathetic tool of their hybrid strategy, in order to dismantle Russia.

The defense ministry is henceforth requiring that all volunteer military formations sign a contract which is subordinating them to the general staff. All have accepted, except Wagner. But that contract is now a prerequisite for the financial and material support from the ministry. Failing that, Prigozhin will be unable to find more glory on the battlefield.

At about 3:30 am, on June 24, the first fighting breaks out in the vicinity of Rostov, where Prigozhin’s gunmen shoot down a Russian helicopter. But the federal authorities appear weak and no airstrike targets on the highway the column of insurgents, who around 5:00 am, seize control of the administrative buildings in the city, including the headquarters of the southern military command

Later, around 7:00 am, the Russian forces manage to destroy two vehicles in the vicinity of Voronej, 600 km north of Rostov, 600 south of Moscow. That is a second column

After a serious delay, I think, the FSB starts at about 9:00 am searching the headquarters of Wagner in Saint Petersburg. At 10:00 am, at last, Vladimir Putin addresses the country, states that the traitors will be punished and Rostov, pacified

From Ukraine, Nazi militant Denis Kapustin, commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps (Russkiy dobrovol’cheskiy korpus, RDK), a bunch of Nazi defectors and a combat formation of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR), is supporting Prigozhin. The rebels have officially become the vanguard in Russia of the Atlanticist forces.

From the front line of the proxy war that NATO is waging in Donbass and Ukraine, among many others, servicemen of the 155th naval infantry brigade, Pacific fleet, are expressing their support to Russia and Vladimir Putin

President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko is acting as broker between Vladimir Putin and the rebels, who start leaving Rostov after 9:00 pm. The Kremlin states that the charges will be dropped if Prigozhin leaves Russia, that Belarus is ready to host him. In consideration of their military feats, the rank and file will not be sued. Members of Wagner who have refused to participate in the uprising will be allowed to sign a contract with the defense ministry. Prigozhin has miserably failed, but due to his vanity and the stupidity of his followers, 15 Russian service members have died. The rebels have shot down seven aircraft.

The New York Times is often a disinformation platform for the US administration, has released an article titled U.S. Suspected Prigozhin Was Preparing to Take Military Action Against Russia, which may be a mine clearance operation, in order to downplay the involvement of Western intelligence agencies in the armed rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s followers, shall be read between the lines.

The piece contradicts itself from the beginning

The information was considered both solid and alarming because of the possibility that a major nuclear-armed rival of the United States could descend into chaos

versus

And they clearly had little interest in helping Mr. Putin avoid a major, embarrassing fracturing of his support

Then

While it is not clear exactly when the United States first learned of the plot [LOL]

In recent months, intelligence officials have tracked the growing animosity between Mr. Prigozhin and leaders of Russia’s defense ministry [indeed]

But several officials said they fully expected that Mr. Putin would eventually say the uprising was the result of a foreign plot

It was, definitely, while the Atlanticist counteroffensive is a bloody failure

Moreover, Elon Musk is laughing.

Three days after the armed rebellion of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s followers, Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu visits the headquarters of Zapad [west] Group of Forces

In the evening, a missile targets a pizzeria in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People’s Republic, about 45 km northwest of the current front line on the western outskirts of Bakhmut. The emergency relief are still working on the site hours later

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is denouncing a terrorist attack. At first glance, the strike could be a war crime against civilians, but an amateur video on Ukrainian social networks is showing that on the site, several protagonists, one injured, are speaking English. One is bearing a tattoo of the US 3rd Ranger battalion. These victims are foreign fighters

US private military instructor Alex Gallant writes on Instagram

Jesus christ… this is where we always ate our dinners. It is nothing even remotely close to a military target

does not understand that his fellows were the target.

Some victims are unfortunately real civilians. Before midnight, the official provisional toll is 4 dead and 42 injured victims, but I suspect that Ukrainian and foreign military personnel is not counted.

In the morning, the Russian defense ministry specifies that the target in Kramatorsk, the day before, was a staff meeting of the 56th motorized brigade. Confirmation, the Ukrainian State security agency (SBU) states that a suspected agent of the Russian military intelligence (GRU) has been arrested in the vicinity of the pizzeria.

The Russian strike on June 27, in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People’s Republic, likely an Iskander ballistic missile, has indeed hit a military meeting in a pizzeria. At least two generals, dozens other Ukrainian and foreign service members have been killed. US media confirm so far one death, former marine Ian Tortorici, from California
