Posted by Schulz2.0 above. This is a pretty decent listen. The portion towards the end about the difficulty in getting medical treatment for Americans wounded in Ukraine is infuriating.

I can understand (but not agree with) withholding certain weapon systems from Ukraine for fear of escalation. I can’t understand not treating vets who are wounded in Ukraine. There’s no way that leads to any sort of escalation. It’s bullshit red tape and anyone responsible is the very worst sort of pussy.

tl/dr: Possible pull-out from Bakhmut later this week.

Quote

The order for aid groups to leave Bakhmut could be a prelude to a Ukrainian withdrawal.

KYIV, Ukraine — Aid groups and civilians will not be able to enter Bakhmut starting on Monday, Ukraine’s military said, as fighting continued to intensify in Russia’s monthslong campaign to seize the strategic city in eastern Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Army said that it would no longer allow aid groups in the city because of the danger posed by street fighting. The ban on volunteer access could suggest a prelude to a Ukrainian withdrawal, although the Ukrainian military has insisted it retains control of the city, can resupply troops and can evacuate its own wounded.

After months of withering bombardment, Russian forces, including both regular troops and mercenaries from the Wagner private military company, now appear to have surrounded Bakhmut on three sides. Ukraine’s military said that street fighting had commenced in two neighborhoods, and that the one remaining road that Ukrainian forces use to gain access to the city was under Russian fire.

Speaking in a video address posted online, a Ukrainian commander who goes by the nickname Madyar said the ban on aid organizations entering Bakhmut was necessary because the fighting now “exposes to danger even volunteers who come here with good intentions to help.”

The decision to close access to the city for aid groups suggests that the Ukrainian military cannot secure even areas in the city that for months had been considered relatively safe, such as neighborhoods on the western bank of the Bakhmutka River, which are farther from the range of Russian artillery strikes. It was yet another indication that Russian forces were edging closer to taking the city.

Ukraine has made Bakhmut, a midsize city in the Donbas region with a prewar population of about 70,000, into a symbol of its tenacious resistance to the Russian onslaught in eastern Ukraine. The city lies in ruins, and just a few thousand civilians remain there, but it is an important prize for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, who has poured troops into the battle for a city seen as key to his stated goal of seizing the entire Donbas area of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine’s military repelled 19 assaults on Bakhmut over the past 24 hours, Col. Serhiy Cherevaty, the spokesman for Ukraine’s eastern military command, said in an interview on Monday.

“Bakhmut is the epicenter of the enemy’s attack and therefore the situation is critical,” he said, but added that no watershed moment had been reached. Bakhmut, he said, “is under Ukrainian control.”

Russian forces are sending small units slipping into the city, Colonel Cherevaty said, but he said they have not yet gained a foothold. The Ukrainian military is continuing to “inflict heavy personnel losses on the enemy,” he said, suggesting that Kyiv’s forces would keep fighting in the embattled city.

Bakhmut has been under Russian bombardment since last spring, but in the fall, Moscow’s forces pivoted to attacking the city with prisoner brigades, driving conscripts into near-suicidal assaults in a bid to overwhelm Ukrainian defensive lines.

Russian forces have pounded Ukrainian positions with thousands of artillery shells a day, clawing yard by yard through multiple lines of the city defenses. Into this crucible of violence, aid groups had continued sending volunteers carrying food and medicine and those who tried to evacuate civilians. The army would now provide aid to those who need it, Madyar said in the video.

“Bakhmut was, is and remains Ukrainian — that is our main slogan,” he said, speaking during what he characterized as a lull in artillery shelling on Sunday, even though repeated explosions could be heard on the recording.

In an assessment of the battlefield on Monday, Rochan Consulting, an analytical group based in Poland, noted that Russian forces had encroached on Bakhmut from the north and the south in recent days, capturing an outlying community of Krasna Gora. The city could fall as soon as this week, the group said.

The "rest" of the story seems odd. Why the hell would someone sell fur coats in a war zone? Who is going to buy them? At the very least move the store contents to Kviv, Odessa, or Lviv.

DOD ‘Backbone’

Kymeta currently works with the DOD and is in talks with other NATO countries about its antenna that’s held up in various ground conflicts over the last two years, Marks said. The company positioning itself as a better and more reliable satcom provider than Starlink, a message aimed directly at the Pentagon.

A 2021 policy paper from the Mitchell Institute, an aerospace industry think tank, said satcom services could become “the backbone of DOD’s networks.” They are destined to become part of the Pentagon-wide Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or JADC2, initiative to connect sensors and communication across all branches of the military.

Strongly suggest reading this article about Norway’s assessment of forces in the Northern Military district and the war impact. Apparently of 3K sent to Ukraine, 1.5 k are dead and the fleet has lost thousands of pieces of equipment.

This. Franco didn't like Hitler, Hitler didn't like Mussolini, and none of them liked Hirohito. But they stuck together because each of them needed from their collective. Horthy of Hungary was a fascist in league with them, as were Antonescu of Romania, Tuka (the holocaust enabler for much of Eastern Europe) of Slovakia, Pavelic of Croatia, and a few others during WWII. Thankfully, most of these guys had the decency to either kill themselves or were assassinated.

I doubt ours will afford us the same respect.

In other news, a very high level and in-depth look at the War in Ukraine after one year. Professor Dubovyk (director of Center for International Studies at Mechnikov University in Ukraine) will be speaking (via Zoom) to UT's Clements Center and all of the UT-Austin community is invited to virtually attend (22 February).

From a practical matter, how does this work? What are the border controls like between Belarus/Poland and Belarus/Ukraine unless trade will be only conducted by plane? I mean, you got to go through either of those first, right?

My man, he’s hiding it in plain sight. He says on Facebook that they are expanding cooperation in the few areas not hit by sanctions. You can understand that to mean “we’re conspiring to evade said sanctions.” The Fidesz crime network will be handsomely compensated.

I do also believe that Putin has a lot of kompromat on Orban. Likely enough to bring him down. So the deal is that he keeps playing ball and everyone gets paid.

Read up on the International Investment Bank and its relocation to Budapest. Well before the war, Hungary opened for business as the Russian center for espionage and covert operations in Europe.

Yeah, sucks, but if they started admitting non-active duty (and dependents/retirees) to those hospitals, and are just admitting Americans who say they were fighting in Ukraine, then every time an American civilian has a serious accident in Europe, they'll try to get to one of those hospitals.

Also, it would play into the Russian hands of "SEE NATO TROOPS ARE FIGHTING US, THE AMERICAN WOUNDED IN LANDSTUHL PROVES IT!!"

Though I'm thinking Ukraine doesn't want to be in the invasion game right now, which is how it will be spun no matter how Moldova frames it.

Wife’s family are/were Volga Germans but didn’t really know it as the stories got lost over the generations. . Came to Western Kansas around turn of last century. Industrious farmers and cattle ranchers. In their spare time, they built their own homes, the church, the school, and the grain silo. Wonderful people that would do anything for you.

Few years ago, after insisting they had no Russian blood, many of them did 23me tests. They were mortified that the genealogy mix suggested they were very much from the stock that left the region for America in very late 1800’s. They were relieved to find out at least they came from the Catholic portion of that and had no Jewish blood. They’re still working on the fact that I’m half Hispanic and Jewish too. Baby steps.

the Volga story is an interesting one though. Lotta ancestral beefs run along thst waterway.

It's an odd thing given that it's a landlocked area. I'd like to think we've been training/helping Moldova to prepare to oust them, although I don't know why they couldn't move in and just isolate those 1,500 troops. Seems like without any outside support, those Russians would fold just as fast as the ones in Ukraine. Then again, they may have been told that if they surrender, don't bother coming back unless their moms want to hold a stolen fur coat for a few minutes in front of the cameras.

They tracked stolen AirPods all the way to a Russian soldier's home and then named him publicly

Quote

Ukrainian researchers have identified a Russian soldier who pilfered a pair of AirPods from a Ukrainian home using Apple’s Find My feature and leaked military data. His name: Nureyev Roman Evgenievich.

Quote

Unlike past riches stolen in the fog of wars past, modern bounties come equipped with location trackers that, when monitored correctly, can reveal the identity and location of a shooter’s identity hundreds of miles away. Open-source-intelligence firm Molfar detailed that very scenario in its recently released report tracking the step-by-step location of a Russian soldier researchers say looted a pair of AirPods from Bucha. Russian forces invaded the town, located about 18 miles Northwest of Kyiv in early March 2022 before eventually withdrawing in April.

THE HAGUE – The Dutch armed forces intercepted three Russian military aircraft in Poland. The planes flew in formation. Two Dutch F-35s have sought them out, identified them and escorted them, the Ministry of Defense reports.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the Russian aircraft were an Il-20M (also known as Coot-A) and two SOe-27s (Flankers). The Coot-A was designed as a spy plane, the Flankers are more modern fighter jets. They are said to have flown from Kaliningrad to Poland and have been ‘on the border’. The Dutch aircraft escorted them ‘from a distance’ and after some time transferred them to another NATO country. According to the Ministry of Defense, they have never flown over Russia.

There are eight Dutch F-35s in Poland since this month, four of which are deployed to monitor the airspace above the NATO country. According to the Ministry of Defense, the other four are for training purposes, although they can also be used if necessary. According to the armed forces, this is the first time that Dutch aircraft have carried out such an interception (a so-called Quick Reaction Alert) during the two-month mission.
