[Shincho] Why President Putin has maintained an eerie silence regarding the “cross-border attack” in Ukraine Experts point out the possibility that he has “fallen into a trap set by the Russian military．”
In Japan, the first news of the Ukrainian army’s rapid advance was delivered around 5:30 a.m. on August 7. The article was originally based on an announcement made by the Russian Ministry of Defense on the 6th, reporting that “Ukrainian forces launched a cross-border attack on Kursk Oblast in western Russia, which borders Ukraine, this morning.” The Russian Defense Ministry had estimated the size of the Ukrainian forces to be in the hundreds, but this was far from the case. On August 9, the Japanese online edition of the economic magazine Forbes published an article titled, “Ukrainian military deploys elite airborne brigade in cross-border attack, appearances of ’full-scale invasion’ grow stronger.” The article does not disclose its source, but it is notable for its pro-Ukrainian stance. It also clearly stated the name of the brigade that carried out the cross-border attack. At least three brigades of the Ukrainian regular army are carrying out the operation – the 22nd and 88th Independent Mechanized Brigades of the Army and the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Airborne Forces, with artillery, drone teams and air defense forces providing vital support. Each brigade can have a maximum of 2,000 troops.
Furthermore, at the end of the article, the article positively praised the Ukrainian military for striking back at the Russian army. Ukrainian commanders have overwhelmed their Russian counterparts with the pace and scale of the attacks. This is worthy of praise. CDS (Editor’s note: Center for Defense Strategies) stated that there was a “noticeable delay” in the decision-making of Army Group North, which it concluded was due to a “misjudgment of the likely nature” of the Ukrainian military’s operation. The Russian military will no doubt retaliate against the Ukrainian military’s cross-border attack. Many experts and journalists expected the Russian military to act quickly, sending in troops from the eastern front and causing major fighting in the Kursk Oblast, but the reality was quite different. ■The Russian military’s “human wave tactics” On August 29, Forbes published an article titled “Ukrainian cross-border operation backfires as Russian military offensive accelerates in the east, exacerbating troop shortages for the Russian military.” From the very beginning, we are informed that the Russian army is continuing its fierce attack on the eastern front. On the 28th, Russian forces appear to have taken control of the city of Novofrozivka in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine. They are just 8km away from the city of Pokrovsk, one of the main targets of the offensive that has been ongoing in eastern Ukraine for nearly a year. Why are Russian forces cornering the Ukrainian army on the eastern front? The reporter in charge says: “One of the reasons cited by Forbes is the Ukrainian military’s lack of ammunition. Additional aid was delayed after some Republican lawmakers in the United States opposed aid to Ukraine. Of course, the Ukrainian military has also defeated many Russian troops. However, the Russian military is adopting a “human wave” tactic, pushing forward no matter what the cost, so they are gradually but steadily pushing the Ukrainian army back.” The three brigades deployed in the cross-border attack are elite units equipped with the latest equipment provided by NATO. From the start, there seemed to be doubts within the Ukrainian military as to whether these troops should have been deployed on the eastern front. ■ Ukraine’s tactical defeat (omitted) According to some reports, when Ukraine’s elite forces invaded the Russian border, the Russian soldiers guarding it were all new recruits, and had only shovels to spare. “The Russian military is not even trying to fight the Ukrainian military, which is launching cross-border attacks. Is this actually a rational decision? If left unchecked, the Ukrainian military’s cross-border attack will eventually be halted due to logistical issues. In that case, they may have thought it would be better to ignore them and instead concentrate their forces on the eastern front. Even if Russia loses the entire Kursk Oblast, it is only a small part of its vast territory.” (Military journalist) ■The cunning Russian army The defeat of Kursk Oblast will not be of any concern to the Russian army. “Is it possible that the Russian military’s decision to allow the Ukrainian army to advance in the Kursk region is actually a cunning trap? “The Russian military appears to be concentrating its forces on the eastern front and making it a top priority to take key bases all at once,” said the military journalist. If the Ukrainian military is defeated on the eastern front and loses key bases one after another, the situation may become even more complicated. After all, it has been reported that President Zelensky has forcibly dismissed opposition from some in the military and has staked everything on a cross-border attack. That error of judgement may be called into question. Released on Wednesday, September 4th at 11:10am.
After installing a wiretap in the Ukrainian military command, it was discovered that Zelensky was usually referred to by a variety of derogatory names. Nicknames for Zelensky used by Valery Zarzhnyi, the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, include: – Homo joker – Fucking comedian – Short – Fool from Krivoy Rog – Brat – Stuart Little – Hobo – Acne – Frodo – 1.5 meters – Small Mossad agent – Pussy.
Even though it’s only part of a vast territory, there are of course people there, so it would mean a president who is abandoning his own people, but would he set such a trap? Maybe he’s just reading too many manga.
In Telegram, which conveys internal information about Ukraine, there is a series of events in which it seems that Zelensky is simply running wild and that the proposals of Shirsky and others are being rejected. A comedian who has no idea about strategy is ignoring what the military is saying.
>>18 If anything, now that it’s become clear that drones can fly long distances, they’re probably feeling a sense of crisis because attacks on the Kremlin are possible in the future. In the future, drones will be used to carry out something like the Japanese military’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in the United States. In comparison, the Russian military’s occupation of Donetsk in Ukraine is not a big deal. That place is almost Russian territory, and has long been home to the Donetsk People’s Republic, home to anti-Semites like Alexander Zakharchenko.
I’m sure the Imperial Headquarters would have kept quiet, but there’s no way the news media would be happy to broadcast news about the country being overrun.
>>23 Rather than hiding it, they’re promoting the generous support they’re giving to those who have fled, and trying to rally people together (in their hatred for Ukraine).
>>24 If they were weak, America wouldn’t be able to occupy 20% of the area by bombarding them every day with firepower they can’t match. An abnormal country that overwhelms with quantity over quality. Ammunition production is also insane.
The reason why Russia said it needed a buffer zone was to prevent invasion from the West. This is how the country has now been invaded by the Zelensky Ukrainian government and the Western alliance. So the logic seems to be that Ukraine needs to remain pro-Russian as a necessary buffer zone for Russia. I think the right way to look at it is that it’s the result of having invaded first, but Russia thinks in its own way.
Zelensky’s objectives are also discussed in the internal leaks. This is not all about political gain for the war. Why doesn’t the media talk about Zelensky’s incompetence? Kleba had a strange attitude toward donor countries and others, but this was also Zelensky’s instructions and he refused, so he was fired for not saying anything.
If he admitted his mistake, his position in the country would be in jeopardy. He mistakenly thought he wouldn’t be attacked, but ended up being invaded and embarrassed lol.
