Russian sources appear to be reorienting the debate about the attribution of responsibility for small-scale tactical gains in the #Bakhmut area to an ongoing offensive operation to capture the small, almost leveled settlement of #Marinka west of #Donetsk. isw.pub/UkrWar060223 
1. Ukraine continues preparing for the offensive by attacking Russian oil facilities in #Krasnodar and military facilities in southern occupied areas.
For several days #Ukraine has attacked #Russianoilfacilities inflicting serious damage on one of Russia's largest refineries.

2. Ten strikes were conducted in recent days with about half of them successful and Ukraine has hit and reportedly damaged five facilities in the #Krasnodar region.
Ukraine released results of an earlier reported #StormShadow strike on #Yukivka between #Berdyansk & #Mariupol.
Ukraine released results of an earlier reported #StormShadow strike on #Yukivka between #Berdyansk & #Mariupol.
3. The strike was on Russian forces housed in a resort facility killing 100 Russian military personnel and wounding 40. Past reporting claimed targets of earlier strikes were high-value like pilots, SOF and Marines.

#Kadyrov noted that the #Russian military command ordered Russian, Rosgvardia (Russian National Guard), and #Chechen Akhmat forces to begin offensive actions along the frontline in #Zaporizhia and #Kherson oblasts as well. 2/4
#Kadyrov claimed that these units have already begun tactical preparations for these offensive actions and claimed that “Akhmat” units’ offensive operations began before #Ukrainian forces launched a counteroffensive. 3/4
I finally decided on next chapter of my history lessons. Very good example of how Russians will kill their own people for power. I read so many crazy theories that Americans did their 11/9 attack to false flag Iraq war. But this is actually real false flag.
Anna’s History Lesson - Part 7 - Active Measures- 1999 Bombings
1. In 1999 300 civilians were murdered in 3 Russian cities in attacks by terrorists who used same explosives and MO. Prime Minister Putin used these attacks to seize power he would have for 20+ years

2. And to start war on Chechnya and occupy Dagestan. After third attack on 13 September in Moscow, Duma Speaker announced that yet another attack had just happened in city of Volgodonsk. It had not. It would happen 3 days later. Attacks were all blamed on #Chechen separatists
Russia: We justify child abduction and trafficking war crimes now by pointing to monuments destroyed by American in 2003.

Kadyrov published footage of himself, his 15-year-old son, and an entourage of Chechen officials and security personnel visiting the scene of the attack and inspecting the mangled bodies of the assailants. 2/
The fact that #Kadyrov’s response to the attack was so immediate and heavy-handed suggests that he is concerned about the potential for internal resistance within Chechnya to undermine his authoritarian rule of the autonomous republic. 3/
1/ it is quite interesting to note how diff countries would commemorate their mil "exploit" or losses and "value" them in their history.
Ru in 2000 lost a really large amount of paratroopers and other units, in famous last battle against #Chechen during a battle "776.0 heights"

2/ today they talk about it of course for very obvious reasons, to show that : 1- it is necessary for Ru troops to understand that entire units being wiped out is absolutely normal to achieve a small success...
3/ Also that it does not matter what is the name or value of the unit, you are just one little cog in the wheel and you are here to follow order and go only forward & if you are "brave" you don't listen to high command telling you its not possible (#Prigozhin is still pushing his

Western approval ratings used by #Russia at gunpoint explains the repeated requirement for wars, not war.
Not external factors, as #negotiate likes to make believe.
Reason to stop war will not work for a system, which needs to start wars and only stops to prepare for the next. 2

#negotiate speak in terms of resources & solutions omits, it requires a productive system to work for output. All #terrorists systems quickly deteriorate to their single core asset, which is fear, not productivity. #Russia is the mother of fear, fed by western appeasement. 3/22

AbdulHakim Shishani (#Chechen) - from fighting with Islamists in #Syria (on the picture he is with an Iranian fighter with very radical Jund Al Aqsa in Aleppo) to giving speeches in Ukraine. What is going on? (Spoiler: none actually knows). Thread 👇
1) AbdulHakim never fought with #ISIS, but he fought in operations with for example Jund Al Aqsa (very radical) &Al Nusra (terrorist group). And what he was doing for #ISIS is helping males escape to Idlib (I know several such folks &his own group members are not even hiding it).
2) He was also involved in kidnapping of a #British citizen in Idlib for ransom and had to even officially apologize for it (see picture). Two people from his group were arrested by HTS and at least one was let out several years later after a big bribe was paid (I talked to him).

1/19 “The most brutal crimes are committed by #Chechens. Inhuman cruelty is not a Russian tradition". The leader of the #Vatican Jorge Mario Bergoglio (aka Francis, aka #Pope of Rome) made a statement shocking in its falsity and abomination.
Eight months ago today #Russia did what it promised the world it would not do, and invaded a peaceful country.
Over 100,000 deaths later, the fight to protect democracy and freedom continues. #Ukraine will prevail.

Just to clarify, if you have already made a pledge, you are still eligible. So if you gave £100, we need £101 more, or if you donated £200, just an extra £1 will do it, but feel free to give more if you can afford it.

#Russian soldier talking to his wife is somewhat unimpressed with the commanders and even less impressed with the #Chechen Kadyrovtsy, the "Akhmat", who "fucked off (i.e. ran away), the fucking cowards" as the #Ukrainians closed in.
In #Mariupol overnight, #Ukrainians sang the national anthem in Liberation Square, knowing it can get them arrested and worse by the #Russian occupation authorities in the city. A sense that liberation is coming is spreading.

A mini thread on what "don" means in #Chechen.
First, it is a filler word, used by Chechens but perhaps not as liberally as Kadyrov... so what does it mean? (1/n)

"don" comes from the Chechen дуй хьуна? (dui hwuna)
First: хьуна is the dative form of the second person singular, i.e., "to you." Literary Chechen has eight cases: nominative, genitive, dative, ergative, instrumental, substantive, comparative, and locative...

Feelings of Deja Vu for a student of post-Soviet affairs: Are we back in the 1990s? Moscow's December 1994 intervention in an inner-Chechen conflict was the beginning of the end of Russia's Second Republic (after the First one of Febr-Oct 1917). 1/3

Moscow's September 1999 start of the #SecondChechenWar, against the background of, probably, #FSB-organized apartment bombings blamed on #Chechen terrorists, was the beginning of #Putin's popularity rise. Now, #Chechens are fighting on both sides of the #RussianUkrainianWar. 2/3
Ukrainian socio-economic life in the non-occupied territories has returned to levels of the 1990s. Russia's economic life will soon too be back to the 1990s. Chechnia may again become a headache for Moscow. More conflict in the Caucasus & Central Asia has become more likely. 3/3
