Ukraine Conflict Update 16
Mar 6, 2022 - Press ISW

The military situation on the ground has not changed significantly in the past 24 hours. Russian forces continue to mass for renewed offensive operations east and west of Kyiv, west of Kharkiv, and toward Mykolayiv-Odesa but have not yet initiated new large-scale ground attacks. Russia has increased aerial and artillery/rocket attacks on civilian positions and infrastructure, including known evacuation corridors. Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted their second counterattack in two days, this time near Mariupol. The Ukrainian air force and air defense forces continue to operate, inflicting damage on Russian ground forces and disrupting Russian air and missile operations.

Yep buy time for the western part to arm and build a million man army to face the eventual onslaught. Meanwhile Vlad can't even take those supposedly Russian areas in the east on the borders and Kyiv is getting harder to surround everyday. They have a long finger aimed at a nuclear power plant in the south that is very vulnerable to flanking attack, being cut off and wiped out. I'm sure the Ukrainian's are broadcasting the truth and propaganda to those conscripts in logistics at least, most equipment has radios and they will be playing popular music too on their military frequencies. The Russians still use analog radios and this is one of their vulnerabilities, bored troops listening to psychological warfare in their trucks and supply dumps in the rear and in this case it's the truth, with makes it super effective. The Russians are starved for news and will listen.

It sends a message and membership can be accelerated if there is trouble, they are a war organization and that means being flexible and reacting to circumstances. NATO might want or need a base there for instance.
don't be so certain that all the members want them...there is a lot of long standing bad blood between many European nations. i don't have specific examples to point to, but what are the odds that Ukraine has never pissed any other EU nations off?

Ukraine official: Progress made on humanitarian corridors after third round of Russia talks
Mykhailo Podoliyak, an adviser to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, tweeted Monday that the third round of negotiations between the two countries had ended.

“There are small positive subductions in improving the logistics of humanitarian corridors,” Podoliyak said.

“Intensive consultations have continued on the basic political block of the regulations, along with a ceasefire and security guarantees,” he added.

Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of breaking a previous cease-fire, aimed at giving Ukrainians a safe path to flee to neighboring countries, with continued shelling in areas supposedly covered by the agreement.

“The Russians ... are continuing to bomb us and use artillery,” said deputy mayor of Mariupol Serhiy Orlov on Saturday. “It is crazy.”

Orlov continued: “There is no cease-fire in Mariupol and there is no cease-fire all along the route. Our civilians are ready to escape but they cannot escape under shelling.”

More than 1.7 million refugees have left Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion almost two weeks ago, according to the United Nations refugee agency.

And as of Sunday, roughly 1.7 million refugees had fled Ukraine to seek shelter in a number of surrounding countries, according to the U.N.'s operational data portal.

The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights revealed in a statement on Monday that 406 civilians have been killed and 801 others have been injured since the start of the war.

Nearly two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine, Moscow laid out clear terms on Monday to halt its attacks.

Those demands include requesting that Ukraine stop all military action, change its constitution to reject any intention to enter any bloc such as NATO or the European Union, acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory and recognize the two breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent states, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

And a partridge in a pear tree.
i sincerely hope they tell the russian "diplomats" the same thing they told the russian warship

Russia mined the new routes that they want the ukrainians to use.
i am now pretty much officially over russian lies and bullshit. it's time to put an end to this shit, if it takes feet on the ground in russia, then so be it, put the anti missile installations on high alert, start with wiping out as many of his subs as we can, and about two seconds after we start attacking the subs, start flooding russia with NATO troops. this won't end while putin is still alive. so kill the murderous motherfucker, no more turning a cheek, now it's time to break cheeks, and heads

Reading all the stories about how the Russian soldiers seem to have some interesting ideas of what they are doing as well as the stories about how Ukrainians who have relatives in Russia have been unable to convince them of what is going on in Ukraine sends a chill up my spine. When they talk to their relatives and send them news stories about the shelling of cities and deaths of civilians, their relatives claim that they are fake news and that this is a precision operation against Nazis. So now we know what Trump and the current sorry excuse of the Republicans want: a supplicated population that believes whatever they are told.

Back in 1956, Russian soldiers quashing Hungarian independence were told that they were being sent to Germany to fight a resurgent Nazi state. But at least back then the Russians had to pull troops out of far Eastern places like Mongolia to get them to believe such nonsense. They did largely believe it as the Hungarians were totally foreign to them and few realized at first that they weren't in Germany.

Now the Russians don't have to bother with that as their population has been gaslit for so long that many no longer have the capacity to question what they are told. I guess the internet has made it much simpler to create an alternate rabbit-hole world. This is what they want for America but they only got the job half done.
