#donbas

olladij@diaspora.permutationsofchaos.com

Even though the Battle of #Donbas is far from over, #Ukraine is expected to open the next chapter of the #war sometime in the near future — a highly anticipated, major counter-offensive operation in the south, particularly to liberate the Russian-occupied city of #Kherson.
#Kyiv has declared its intentions to liberate the only regional capital captured by Russia following the Feb. 24 full-scale invasion.
Experts across the world agree that retaking Kherson is the most feasible way for Ukraine to score a major victory over #Russia and turn the tide of the war. As part of a counter-offensive operation, Ukraine would likely seek to block the occupied city, cut the Russian garrison off from supplies and reinforcements, and hold the blockade until Russia surrenders.
This would be a daring mission, demanding the most effective contribution of all components ranging from infantry to air defense and counter-battery activity.
Thanks to local terrain and Russian #military flaws, Ukraine's plan may in fact be realistic.
But in order to carry it out, Ukraine's military would have to demonstrate excellent coordination of war power and do the difficult #work of clearing the area of Russian forces, supply lines, and ammunition depots — before going in.

Russia’s war against #Ukraine initially obscured tensions within the Russian #elite but then exacerbated them. Both the Rector of the Russian Presidential Academy of National #Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), Vladimir Mau, and three influential police generals from #StPetersburg have recently come under criminal investigation. An influential businessman from Vladimir #Putin’s entourage, Yevgeny #Prigozhin, harshly criticised St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov, although such a situation had been impossible earlier due to unspoken rules within the power vertical. Prior to that, the Secretary of the General Council of United Russia, Andrey Turchak, and the Chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, had argued in public. Conflicts among high-profile politicians and the siloviki are a sign of the collapse of the old system and its body of laws and rules. The elite are fumbling around in search of the outlines of an emerging new order, and it is already clear that the creation of such an order will be preceded by inter-elite #war|s and #repression|s.

Over the past two months, attention on the #Ukraine War has generally focussed on the Russian eastern offensive. The Russians, having learnt some of the lessons of their failed #Kyiv and #Kharkiv offensives, have concentrated much of their combat power in eastern Ukraine, where they have slowly, painfully and brutally seized most of the #Luhansk region.
But there is another front in this #war that is also important: the campaign in the south. Because of its long-term economic implications for the state of Ukraine, the war in the south may prove even more decisive than the #military operations in the #Donbas.

Julian #Assange, Alina #Lipp, and Anne-Laure #Bonnel – when truth becomes a crime in the West

pic

Julian Assange, Alina Lipp and Anne-laure Bonnel are three journalists who are paying a high price for telling the truth in the West: attempts to suffocate them financially, followed by #censorship, threats of imprisonment or imprisonment altogether, and even physical and psychological torture in the case of Assange. These three cases illustrate perfectly the reality of “ #democracy ” in the #West.

Following Russia’s unsuccessful assault on #Kyiv and northern #Ukraine, the Russian military has intensified its efforts in Ukraine’s east, particularly in the #Donetsk and #Luhansk Regions. But Russia’s #military has not been alone as its soldiers have edged slowly forward in recent weeks. Groups of irregular troops and fighters have also been seen in the area, operating alongside the Russian military in the direction of #Kharkiv Region.
Fighters from the #Wagner Private Military Company ( #PMC) have reportedly participated in the assault on the town of #Popasna. The National Bolshevik “Borey” group, meanwhile, has posted about their participation in an offensive in the #Donbas. The Cossack group, “Don”, is also reported to have been operating on the #Izyum front in the southern Kharkiv Region. (...)
Pavel Luzin, the Russian military analyst, told Bellingcat that groups like the #SDD – much like Ramzan #Kadyrov’s Chechen fighters – may be in Ukraine at least partly for PR reasons.
“All these mercenaries prevent the armed forces from increasing the popularity and political weight of the military within #Russia. The #war is conducted by unknown soldiers and officers, but the ‘volunteers’ are represented in official #media, mercenaries are represented in their social media and Chechens are represented on #TikTok”, said Luzin.
“So, the SDD together with other mercenaries are aimed to balance the armed forces and the officer corps from posing a potential political threat for the #Kremlin”.

Welcome to a Science-Fiction Planet

How George Orwell's Doublethink Became the Way of the World

Tom Dispatch

(...) Let’s start with President George H.W. Bush’s assurance to then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not move “one inch to the east” — and that pledge has been verified. My question to you is, why didn’t Gorbachev get that in writing?

Noam Chomsky: He accepted a gentleman’s agreement, which is not that uncommon in diplomacy. Shake-of-the-hand. Furthermore, having it on paper would have made no difference whatsoever. Treaties that are on paper are torn up all the time. What matters is good faith. And in fact, H.W. Bush, the first Bush, did honor the agreement explicitly. (...)

Clinton in his first couple of years also adhered to it. What the specialists say is that by about 1994, Clinton started to, as they put it, talk from both sides of his mouth. To the Russians he was saying: Yes, we’re going to adhere to the agreement. To the Polish community in the United States and other ethnic minorities, he was saying: Don’t worry, we’ll incorporate you within NATO. (...)

From 2014, the U.S. and NATO began to pour arms into Ukraine — advanced weapons, military training, joint military exercises, moves to integrate Ukraine into the NATO military command. (...)

In 2019, Volodymyr Zelensky was elected with an overwhelming majority — I think about 70% of the vote — on a peace platform, a plan to implement peace with Eastern Ukraine and Russia, to settle the problem. He began to move forward on it and, in fact, tried to go to the Donbas, the Russian-oriented eastern region, to implement what’s called the Minsk II agreement. It would have meant a kind of federalization of Ukraine with a degree of autonomy for the Donbas, which is what they wanted. Something like Switzerland or Belgium. He was blocked by right-wing militias which threatened to murder him if he persisted with his effort.

Well, he’s a courageous man. He could have gone forward if he had had any backing from the United States. The U.S. refused. (...) The U.S. was intent on this policy of integrating Ukraine step by step into the NATO military command. That accelerated further when President Biden was elected. (...)

On February 24th, Putin invaded, a criminal invasion. These serious provocations provide no justification for it. If Putin had been a statesman, what he would have done is something quite different. He would have gone back to French President Emmanuel Macron, grasped his tentative proposals, and moved to try to reach an accommodation with Europe, to take steps toward a European common home.

The U.S., of course, has always been opposed to that. (...) So, had there been any statesmen within Putin’s narrow circle, they would have grasped Macron’s initiatives and experimented to see whether, in fact, they could integrate with Europe and avert the crisis. Instead, what he chose was a policy which, from the Russian point of view, was total imbecility. Apart from the criminality of the invasion, he chose a policy that drove Europe deep into the pocket of the United States. (...)

Can we try to bring this horror to an end? Or should we try to perpetuate it? Those are the choices.

There’s only one way to bring it to an end. That’s diplomacy. Now, diplomacy, by definition, means both sides accept it. They don’t like it, but they accept it as the least bad option. It would offer Putin some kind of escape hatch. That’s one possibility. The other is just to drag it out and see how much everybody will suffer, how many Ukrainians will die, how much Russia will suffer, how many millions of people will starve to death in Asia and Africa, how much we’ll proceed toward heating the environment to the point where there will be no possibility for a livable human existence. Those are the options. Well, with near 100% unanimity, the United States and most of Europe want to pick the no-diplomacy option. It’s explicit. We have to keep going to hurt Russia. (...)

Barsamian: In the media, and among the political class in the United States, and probably in Europe, there’s much moral outrage about Russian barbarity, war crimes, and atrocities. No doubt they are occurring as they do in every war. Don’t you find that moral outrage a bit selective though?

Chomsky: The moral outrage is quite in place. There should be moral outrage. (...)

When people in the Global South hear this, they don’t know whether to crack up in laughter or ridicule. We have war criminals walking all over Washington. Actually, we know how to deal with our war criminals. In fact, it happened on the twentieth anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan. Remember, this was an entirely unprovoked invasion, strongly opposed by world opinion. (...) George W. Bush, who then went on to invade Iraq. (...)

Or take probably the major war criminal of the modern period, Henry Kissinger. We deal with him not only politely, but with great admiration. This is the man after all who transmitted the order to the Air Force, saying that there should be massive bombing of Cambodia — “anything that flies on anything that moves” was his phrase. I don’t know of a comparable example in the archival record of a call for mass genocide. And it was implemented with very intensive bombing of Cambodia. We don’t know much about it because we don’t investigate our own crimes. (...) Then there’s our role in overthrowing Salvador Allende’s government in Chile and instituting a vicious dictatorship there, and on and on. (...)

Barsamian: I’ve got a little puzzle for you. It’s in two parts. Russia’s military is inept and incompetent. Its soldiers have very low morale and are poorly led. Its economy ranks with Italy’s and Spain’s. That’s one part. The other part is Russia is a military colossus that threatens to overwhelm us. So, we need more weapons. Let’s expand NATO. How do you reconcile those two contradictory thoughts?

(...) George Orwell had a name for that. He called it doublethink, the capacity to have two contradictory ideas in your mind and believe both of them. (...)

Such doublethink is, for instance, characteristic of Cold War thinking. You go way back to the major Cold War document of those years, NSC-68 in 1950. Look at it carefully and it showed that Europe alone, quite apart from the United States, was militarily on a par with Russia. But of course, we still had to have a huge rearmament program to counter the Kremlin design for world conquest. (...)

Russia, [diplomat George Kennan] thought, would ultimately collapse from internal contradictions, which turned out to be correct. But he was considered a dove all the way through. In 1952, he was in favor of the unification of Germany outside the NATO military alliance. That was actually Soviet ruler Joseph Stalin’s proposal as well. Kennan was ambassador to the Soviet Union and a Russia specialist.

Stalin’s initiative. Kennan’s proposal. Some Europeans supported it. It would have ended the Cold War. It would have meant a neutralized Germany, non-militarized and not part of any military bloc. It was almost totally ignored in Washington. (...)

Barsamian: In an article in Truthout, you quote Eisenhower’s 1953 “Cross of Iron” speech. What did you find of interest there?

Chomsky: You should read it and you’ll see why it’s interesting. It’s the best speech he ever made. This was 1953 when he was just taking office. Basically, what he pointed out was that militarization was a tremendous attack on our own society. He — or whoever wrote the speech — put it pretty eloquently. One jet plane means this many fewer schools and hospitals. Every time we’re building up our military budget, we’re attacking ourselves. (...)

Recently, in fact, Biden proposed a huge military budget. Congress expanded it even beyond his wishes, which represents a major attack on our society. (...)

The excuse: the claim that we have to defend ourselves from this paper tiger, so militarily incompetent it can’t move a couple of miles beyond its border without collapse. (...)

Meanwhile, we pour taxpayer funds into the pockets of the fossil-fuel producers so that they can continue to destroy the world as quickly as possible. That’s what we’re witnessing with the vast expansion of both fossil-fuel production and military expenditures.

If you imagine some extraterrestrials, if they existed, they’d think we were all totally insane. And they’d be right.

Alle politischen Handlungen und Motive lassen sich auf die Unterscheidung von Freund und Feind zurückführen, so schrieb es 1927 #CarlSchmitt. Zahlreiche russische Politikwissenschaftler meinen, dass man den deutschen Philosophen lesen müsse, um die russische #Politik zu verstehen. Schon seit geraumer Zeit stellt die Staatspropaganda #Russland als eine „belagerte Festung“ dar: Die ausländischen Feinde hätten auch im Inneren ihre „Agenten“, sie alle zusammen wollen Russland genauso in die Knie zwingen wie schon in den 1990er Jahren, so die #Verschwörung|serzählung.
Für viele #Wissenschaft|ler bildet diese Erzählung die zentrale Legitimitätsbasis des Systems #Putin: Da das Realeinkommen schon seit 2014 sinkt und der sogenannte #Krim -Konsens auch an seine Grenzen stößt, bleibe dem Regime nur noch das Feindschema übrig, um sich nach innen zu legitimieren. Um dies fortzuerhalten, müsse der #Kreml das Land in einem dauerhaften Ausnahmezustand halten – ein anderer zentraler Begriff aus der politischen Theorie von Carl Schmitt.

The Ukrainian challenge is different than that facing the Russians. The Ukrainians are defending, and they have had deep experience in this type of operation in the #Donbas region since the invasion in 2014. Whether or not they can take the offensive at any scale in the future remains to be seen.
The Russo-Ukrainian War, as of May 24, is only three months old, which is short by the standards of any major #war. One could usefully recall that it took from July 7 to September 26 in 1941 for the German assault on the #SovietUnion in Operation Barbarossa to reach and take #Kyiv. The current war appears to be evolving into a protracted war of attrition. Therefore, the Russian strategy of limited maneuver and a heavy reliance on fires may yet be sound. They seem to be learning, as Russia analyst Michael Kofman pointed out in a recent War on the Rocks podcast. This protraction of major combat operations is also beyond the experience of serving Western officers.
At the beginning of the war, Russia’s active-duty personnel and major #weapons systems allocated to the invasion significantly outnumbered that of Ukraine almost two-to-one. Accurate casualty and materiel loss data is difficult to obtain, particularly from Ukraine, where the data is understandably considered a national secret. Nevertheless, if the numbers being reported by each combatant are in the ballpark, then these running estimates show both sides are suffering significant levels of attrition, most importantly in personnel.
If this is true, then Ukraine is potentially in serious trouble if the war continues much longer.

In general, the battle in the #Donbas is more politically significant for Russia than it is for Ukraine. #Ukraine can afford to trade territory for attrition, and hope to retake it afterward. This has been the basis of Ukraine’s strategy since the start of the war. The Russian #military has a structural problem with force availability, and is not designed to sustain war of this scale at ‘peace time’ strength. Stopgap solutions can extend Russia’s staying power in this war, but not resolve those fundamental challenges. Hence, even though the local military balance in the Donbas appears favorable to #Russia, the overall trends in the military balance still favor Ukraine. That is a conditional assessment, based on the current situation, and the assumption that Ukraine receives sustained military support, along with other forms of battlefield relevant assistance from the #West.
Predicting battlefield outcomes is often a fool’s errand. It overemphasizes tactical events, rather than strategic outcomes. Few things are contingent as armed conflict, and the turning points in a war are often best seen in hindsight. During operational pauses, or lulls in fighting, it will be tempting for observers to declare a stalemate. Yet this #war is likely to become protracted, as such wars often do.

In the three months since #Russia launched a full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, the general mood among the elites in #Moscow has flipped more than once. In early March, insiders told Meduza that President Putin’s decision to go to war horrified most #Kremlin and ministerial officials, who feared that Western #sanctions would ruin their careers and maybe even their lives. Shortly thereafter, however, a “patriotic surge” took hold. By April, several prominent figures were calling publicly to fight “to the bitter end.”
Now, three months into the #war, pessimism is staging a comeback. “It won’t be possible to live like before. Any talk of development is out the window. But life goes on. There are gray imports. There’s trade with #China and #India,” said a source close to the prime minister’s cabinet.
At the same time, officials in the Kremlin still see no realistic scenario in which President #Putin could end the hostilities in Ukraine and retain his high approval rating in Russia. As Meduza reported previously, the administration’s domestic policy team has been brainstorming strategies to “withdraw with dignity” since just a few weeks into the invasion, but officials have yet to come up with anything.

The consequences of the #war are already felt in #Russia. The #economy is set to contract as much as it did during the Soviet collapse. The war also ended many of the already weak civil liberties of Russia’s citizens, who now live under de facto martial law. Some have speculated that defeat will lead to a Russia without #Putin. Others argue that one-man-rule will continue with Putin at the helm, though weakened. Others have argued that Russia’s defeat, economic collapse, international pariah status and increased Russian #chauvinism will bring an end to the Russian Federation itself.
The possibility of a collapse of the Russian Federation along the lines of the Soviet collapse has been a feature of commentary on Russia since December 1991. Every now and again these views resurface, and Russia’s evident failures in #Ukraine have brought similar theories. Given the unprecedented scale of the war and the profound consequences it is to bring, the argument on Russia’s imminent collapse deserves scrutiny. Are the forces of #collapse already at play in Russia?

The city of #Severodonetsk is currently at the epicenter of the battle for the #Donbas. #Ukraine’s troops are trying to hold the line, but according to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian forces are already entrenched on the eastern outskirts of the city. President Volodymyr #Zelensky said on Sunday that Russian strikes had destroyed all of the city’s critical infrastructure, damaged 90 percent of its buildings, and completely destroyed two-thirds of its housing stock. Earlier, Oleksandr Stryuk, the head of Severodonetsk’s #military and civil administration, reported that at least 1,500 residents have been killed. In their own words, locals who managed to escape the city describe what life is like for those who stayed behind.

Two sources close to the #Kremlin and another source inside the #Putin administration itself told Meduza that Russia’s leadership has “minimum” and “maximum” thresholds in #Ukraine for declaring a successful and completed “special military operation.”
The bare minimum needed to declare victory is the complete capture of the #Donbas region, which Russian troops have nearly accomplished already. According to recent estimates, the Ukrainian #government remains in control of only five percent of the #Luhansk region and less than half of the #Donetsk region.
The Kremlin’s maximum goal remains the seizure of #Kyiv. Moscow’s initial assault on the Ukrainian capital collapsed back in March, after which Russian troops withdrew (leaving behind evidence of numerous and shocking war crimes). From the very start of the invasion, #military experts assessed #Russia’s attempt to capture the city as elusive, given the insufficient military force deployed against Kyiv.

Ukrainian Pacifists: War is a crime against humanity

On April 17, 2022, Ukrainian pacifists adopted a statement reposted here...

Ukrainian Pacifist Movement is gravely concerned about the active burning of bridges for a #peaceful #resolution of #conflict between #Russia and #Ukraine on both sides and signals of intentions to continue the #bloodshed indefinitely to achieve some sovereign ambitions.

We condemn the #Russian decision to invade Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which led to a fatal escalation and thousands of deaths, reiterating our #condemnation of the reciprocal #violations of the #ceasefire envisaged in Minsk agreements by Russian and #Ukrainian combatants in #Donbas prior to the escalation of Russian #aggression.

We condemn the mutual labeling of parties to the conflict as Nazi-alike enemies and #war criminals, stuffed into legislation, reinforced by the official #propaganda of extreme and irreconcilable #hostility. We believe that the law should build #peace, not incite war; and #history should give us examples how people can return to peaceful life, not excuses for continuing the war. We insist that accountability for crimes must be established by an independent and competent judicial body in due process of law, in result of unbiased and impartial investigation, especially in the most serious crimes, such as #genocide. We emphasize that the tragic consequences of military brutality must not be used to incite #hatred and justify new #atrocities, on the contrary, such #tragedies should cool the fighting spirit and encourage a persistent search for the most bloodless ways to end the war.

We condemn military actions on both sides, the hostilities which harm civilians. We insist that all shooting should be stopped, all sides should honor the memory of killed people and, after due grief, calmly and honestly commit to peace talks.

We condemn statements on the Russian side about the intention to achieve certain goals by military means if they cannot be achieved through #negotiations.

We condemn statements on the Ukrainian side that continuation of peace talks depends on winning the best negotiating positions at the battlefield.

We condemn the unwillingness of both sides to cease fire during the peace talks.

We condemn the practice of forcing #civilians to conduct military service, to perform military tasks and to support the army against the will of peaceful people in Russia and Ukraine. We insist that such practices, especially during hostilities, grossly violate the principle of distinction between militaries and civilians in international #humanitarian law. Any forms of contempt for the human right to conscientious objection to military service are unacceptable.

We condemn all military support provided by Russia and NATO countries for militant radicals in Ukraine provoking further escalation of the military #conflict.

We call on all peace-loving people in Ukraine and around the world to remain peace-loving people in all circumstances and to help others to be peace-loving people, to collect and disseminate knowledge about peaceful and #nonviolent way of life, to tell the #truth that unites peace-loving people, to #resist evil and #injustice without #violence, and debunk myths about necessary, beneficial, inevitable, and just war. We don’t call for any particular action now to ensure that peace plans will not be targeted by hatred and attacks of #militarists, but we are confident that #pacifists of the world have a good imagination and experience of practical realization of their best dreams. Our actions should be guided by hope for a peaceful and happy future, and not by fears. Let our peace work bring closer the future from dreams.

War is a crime against humanity. Therefore, we are determined not to support any kind of war and to strive for the removal of all causes of war.”

Clearly the American people know nothing about Ukraine, nor the Donbas, nor the eight years of shelling by the nazi-led Ukrainian army of the people in the Donbas. I've been to Luhansk and Donetsk, I've seen the graves, I've see the burned-out buildings, as a result of these shells. And I can tell you, when I came back from there and I tried to organize people in this country, in the United States, to speak out against what the US and NATO were supporting, these attacks on the Donbas, I couldn't find anybody that wanted to pay any attention.

We call on Russia to de-escalate the situation and stop sending troops immediately.

It is necessary to go back to the negotiating table and the Minsk agreements.

In the current context, NATO’s expansion in Eastern Europe is perceived by Russia as a military threat. This has prevented a peace strategy and the creation of a common European security architecture.

We urge the Russian Federation to stop the hostilities and demilitarize the region. We also urge NATO to stop its expansion to the East.

It is time to follow these strategies:

· A peace agenda in Ukraine through diplomacy and dialogue.

· EU’s strategic autonomy through an independent and cooperative security architecture.

· A transition to energy sovereignty.
