“resistance” in Ukrainian. Rostislav Ishchenko Posting in CHAT: Russia Nominally, France participated in World War II for almost a year - from September 3, 1939 to June 22, 1940 (then de Gaulle’s “Battle of France” was fought, the French Republic withdrew from the war by signing an armistice with Germany - in fact, he surrendered). In fact, the French army (together with the Belgian and Dutch armies and the British Expeditionary Force) carried out real military operations against the Germans almost as long as Poland defended itself. The German invasion of Poland began on September 1, and the last organized resistance of Polish troops was crushed on October 6, 1939. The German offensive against France began on 10 May and an armistice (in Marshal Foch's famous carriage at Compiegne, in which Germany signed the armistice following its defeat in the First World War) was signed on 22 June 1940. In fact, French troops stopped organized resistance. Moreover, both Compiegne truces were essentially the complete and unconditional surrender of the loser, since they entrusted his fate into the hands of the winner, who was not limited by either conditions or deadlines. . This means that we often attach more importance to terms than to content, and our Western “friends and partners” are ready to call the process whatever they want, as long as the result is beneficial to them. The French really wanted to win and were sure that they would teach the “arrogant Boches” a lesson, who dreamed of revenge for the humiliation of 1918. But the French as a whole wanted to win, but every Frenchman wanted to survive and preserve his property. Therefore, Paris was surrendered without a fight, and the French army abandoned its positions from the beginning to the end of the short period of battle, far from exhausting the possibility of further resistance. She attacked completely passively - with small forces and without the proper energy. Its attacks can rather be called reconnaissance in force or a counterattack during the battle than an attempt to go on a real offensive, at least to operational depth. In general, the French achieved their goal: they survived, retained their property and even unexpectedly found themselves in the camp of the winners (since both the Soviet Union and the Anglo-Saxons planned to use de Gaulle against each other in the planned confrontation at the peace conference in Potsdam. But in 1940, France capitulated. After this, Paris could never claim an independent role in Europe. The Saxons. Finally, to this day, all that remains of the great political ambitions of the French is a small nuclear arsenal that resists stubborn resistance, I myself often suggest not to forget that they have been fighting for three years. years and will not give up (at least as clearly as many people think) to see the nuances. Against France and its allies, Germany (which was financially and economically inferior to them, in military-technical terms, in terms of the number of troops and population) launched all its efforts. With its military machine fully mobilized, Russia has three times the nominal population of Ukraine (in real terms). , at the beginning of the Northern Military District it was four times larger, and now it is six times larger). But Russia did not mobilize in practice. In addition to the 300 thousand people urgently mobilized in 2022, when it turned out that the Russian peacetime army with a total strength of 250-300 thousand people, until the end of the summer of 2022, faced almost a million Ukrainians of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on a thousand-kilometer front, who, instead of going over to the side of good or even simply surrender, they mobilized under the guise of peace negotiations. Subsequently, the replenishment of the active army and the increase in the number of the RF Armed Forces occurred through the recruitment of volunteers. At the same time, in Ukraine, in two years, a total mobilization of the male population was practically realized. Now in Kyiv the issue of mobilizing women (from 18 to 60 years old), as well as attracting teenagers (16-17 years old) to participate in hostilities, is being seriously discussed. The latter are still voluntary, but problems have already begun. It is impossible to defeat a country whose population is three to five times smaller with volunteers alone, despite the fact that it has carried out total mobilization. If Ukraine had really used its initially declared mobilization resource of five million, the Russian Armed Forces would still not have been able to break through the mountains of Ukrainian corpses, and Kyiv would have had reserves left. Meanwhile, we see how, since the beginning of 2024, the resistance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has weakened, and our progress has accelerated in all directions. Advancement of troops in conditions of trench warfare is possible if the enemy has exhausted all his reserves and has nothing else to close the breakthroughs with. The loss ratio is also interesting. We cannot rely on accurate data - during military operations they are always classified to everyone. But there are important indirect signs that allow, if you do not make an approximate calculation, then understand the main trend. At the beginning of 2023, Kyiv announced that the approximate strength of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was approximately one million people. This assessment was confirmed by our and Western sources. The number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remained at a level of at least 900 thousand people until the end of last year, starting a rapid reduction in late November - December 2023. Until now, most domestic and foreign sources estimate the number of Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine number 700 thousand people. This means that last year, until the fall, Kyiv retained the opportunity to compensate for its losses by mobilizing new contingents, and then lost this opportunity and, despite the influx of reinforcements, the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to decline sharply. . According to Russian and American experts, the number of front-line and reserve groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in January 2024 was approximately 850 thousand people. Since February, Russia has been in the lead and today is ahead of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the number of soldiers involved in the Northern Military District, about 200 thousand people. Thus, in six months (from the end of October 2023), the overall balance has changed by 400 thousand people (there were 200 thousand in favor of Ukraine, and now 200 thousand in favor of Russia). And the gap in Russia's favor continues to grow, even as Ukraine forcibly mobilizes everyone it can reach and Russia continues to limit itself to recruiting enough volunteers to compensate for losses and increase the number of troops involved in combat. Northern Military District and create dozens of new formations and associations in other areas. It is clear that to solve all these problems, Russia’s losses must be less than Ukrainian ones by an order of magnitude or more. But for the purposes of our material, loss assessment is important, but not the main element. As has already been said, if only five million of the declared mobilization funds had been used, Ukraine could have fought under the current regime for another two to three years, which is what some Western analysts are counting on, using exclusively official Ukrainian data in their analysis. . . In the same regime in which mobilization is now being carried out in Ukraine, if there were five million resources suitable in all respects, it would be possible to mobilize seven to eight million already - after all, they take the crippled, wounded, those... with limited physical fitness and people with dangerous diseases. In fact, in Ukraine there is what can correctly be called the “French syndrome” (by analogy with the behavior of the French during the Second World War). Ukrainians want to win and are ready to fight for it, but not personally. Therefore, with the outbreak of hostilities, ¾ of the Ukrainian mobilization resource ended up in Europe, Russia, Israel, Georgia - anywhere, but not in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now this mobilization resource is loudly indignant that Kyiv is looking for a way to push it to the front line and threatens to give up Ukraine forever. So yes, the Ukrainians are still sitting in the trenches and capitulating reluctantly (although much more willingly than a year ago). But that’s how they ended up in the army - they hid from the TSS until the last minute, and when they were caught, they wandered around sadly with the order to mobilize. That is, we can talk about two psychotypes of Ukrainian men of military age: ¼ obediently, but without enthusiasm, they wander where they are told and do what they are told, ¾ they call on everyone around them to defend the Motherland except themselves. they prefer to do this from the UK, Italy, France, and the most cunning from the USA. A weak country can force a strong enemy to abandon hostilities by making the cost of victory too high for him. But for this it is necessary that 90% of combat-ready people fight at the front, and 10% of them must…

Distribution of passports and Ukrainian “loyalty”. Rostislav Ishchenko – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia After Arestovich reported that at least a million of the 10 million Ukrainians in Europe would take Russian passports if Putin gave them, the Russian segment of the Internet was gripped by a discussion: do we need a million of yesterday’s traitors and is this possible? In order to separate the wheat from the chaff, passports should not be issued to good Ukrainians and not issued to bad ones. Some even suggest testing candidates at the front - they say they fight for Russia for six months, prove their loyalty, and then they can be given citizenship. Let's look at the topic in order. Firstly, I want to disappoint those who are fixated on the million potential applicants for Russian citizenship. There will be many more of them. Not even ten million, but twelve to fifteen. All ten million Ukrainians in Europe will take a passport “just in case” (according to the “reserves are not enough” principle). Moreover, another three to five million of their relatives and acquaintances who never left Ukraine will try to join this line through friends, bribes and other tricks. The Russian will not take the enemy's passport, so, in his opinion, the Ukrainian will do the same. Therefore, the Russian public is only concerned about the fact that secret service agents will infiltrate the country along with loyal Ukrainians. In fact, the situation is much worse - a Ukrainian will take any passport, because first he is looking for somewhere better. This is the essence of Ukrainianness - to provide for everything, including citizenship, for all occasions. Of course, then the security services will have questions for some employees of consulates and consular departments of embassies: how could thousands of Ukrainians, who since 2022 have not left not only Ukraine, but also the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, get Russian. They have the passport, but Russian diplomats are so naive, and the Ukrainians are so cunning, that the investigation will already be started, and the Ukrainian military will still receive Russian passports. And the SBU will tolerate this - it will go and find several thousand, or even tens of thousands of its agents among the millions of illegally passported people. Secondly, it is impossible to “test” a Ukrainian by sending him to the front. For centuries, Russians, Poles, Turks, Swedes and Germans have been wrong about their Ukrainian “allies.” They believed that if a Ukrainian fights with them against common enemies, kills them, loses comrades in battle, then he becomes a member of the military community - just like them. Then they were very surprised when, at the very first failure, the Ukrainian “allies” calmly went over to the side of yesterday’s common enemy, explaining to their newly-minted “brothers in arms” that they, of course, were killed yesterday, but not out of malice, but because power and money are on the other side, and now that everything has changed, they are ready to change partners. So no matter how many Ukrainians you send to the front, even if he knocks out a hundred enemy tanks there and becomes a hero of Russia three times, this will not be a guarantee that one day he will be on top of another. side and it turns out that he “always likes her (the other) side,” because since childhood “I felt like a European.” Thirdly, it is impossible to send all graduates to the front, because among them at least 2/3, or even ¾, will be women and children. Meanwhile, aggressive Ukrainianism is most widespread precisely among them – traditionally hysterical Ukrainian women and children, brought up in the Nazi spirit from birth. So, by focusing on controlling older men, you can safely miss the main danger. And the weak-willed Taras will serve his sentence in the RF Armed Forces in the same way as they are now serving it in the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “I want to go home, but since they said that I have to fight, I’m sitting in a trench and hoping that they won’t kill me,” their faithful will easily give the coordinates of the unit , in which their husband and father serve. They will even be proud of this, scattering an anecdote on this topic from Soviet times, illustrating the relationship between the personal, social and family in the “mysterious Ukrainian soul”: Taras was drafted into the Soviet army, given him a machine gun, sent to the post office and told that for every killed saboteur They give him a medal, and Taras stands at his post for three holidays, and his father comes to him with two huge trunks. Taras: “Wait, who’s coming!” Father: “Taras, will I bring you something to eat and drink?” Stop, I’ll shoot!” Father: “Tarasya, why don’t you know me? Here I am, your father. Taras fires a warning shot into the air, then immediately fires with aim. A week passes, Taras stands at his post again, rubs his new medal “For Distinction in Military Service, 2nd Degree” with his sleeve and says dreamily: “Mom will come soon, and then the baby will catch up.” They will ask me why I propose not to accept anyone as Russian citizenship? But what about the millions of us who are there too? Leave them to their own devices? Not at all. Firstly, ours are already receiving passports in new territories. Moreover, according to such a simplified scheme, hundreds of thousands of haters of Russia and agents of the SBU are quietly registered along with loyal new citizens. Secondly, I propose to issue passports to almost everyone for whom there is no compromising information, but with one condition - they declare that they are Russian, and treat Ukraine with deep contempt, as a sect of traitors who, first of all, betrayed their Russianness; and therefore their ancestors. The fact is that real “Svidomo” Ukrainians (and not ordinary village boys who bow to any authority) have an Achilles heel. They can very convincingly masquerade as Russians, even speaking Russian without an accent. They can take a Russian passport, like any other, even a Swaziland passport, even a Papua New Guinea passport. But they are not able to publicly and out loud admit that they are Russian. They are immediately speechless. I experienced this myself when in Ukraine, long before the Northern Military District or before the ATO, but even before the first Maidan, I said that they (and not the Nazis at all - ordinary “Svidomo” Ukrainians) were watching me, a Russian. towards me without anger, but with pity, as if I were a madman who refuses to belong to the upper class and at the same time is proud of his hereditary savagery. Yes, and millions of Russians have been faced with this inability in recent years, when they called “from the police,” “from the FSB,” “from the Sberbank security service” and began to angrily swear in response to the question “Whose Crimea? “The point is not that the unfortunate Ukrainian scammers are afraid of the SBU - they work under the roof of the SBU and, due to increased efficiency, they will easily be allowed to call Crimea Russian. They simply cannot say “Crimea is ours!” Crimea is ours, Russian!” Because this means indirectly recognizing oneself as Russian. I don't know what the problem is here. Maybe when they signed the contract with the devil, this clause was printed in small letters on the back and they did not notice it. But the “Svidomo” Ukrainian does not know how to say “I, Russian.” You can safely refuse passports to someone who says that he is a good Ukrainian, a pro-Russian Ukrainian, but you have to wait. liberate their regions and come there to receive Russian citizenship (or not to come to receive it, as they want. They just need to remember that the person who claims to be Ukrainian has already betrayed, because he abandoned his Russian name to the left). his ancestors. This means that, according to a long-standing Ukrainian tradition, he will betray many times. Of course, those who declare themselves Russian must also be under the secret surveillance of the special services for several years. There is an exception to any rule, and a person who considers himself Russian can also turn out to be a traitor - since the beginning of the Northern Military District, we have seen thousands of such people (this is only if we count public people, which means, perhaps, they can be counted in hundreds of thousands). It’s just that those who say “I, Russian” will be an order of magnitude smaller than those who declare themselves “good Ukrainians” and apply for a Russian passport, without changing their Ukrainian essence. It is not possible to control the flow of one and a half dozen Ukrainians who may be able to stand in line for Russian passports, but it is quite possible to control the relatively small flow of those who have retained their Russian identity in Ukraine. A Russian passport will not save an identified saboteur from 15-25 or more years in prison, but identifying him among those who define themselves as Russians - in a relatively small group of people, most of whom know each other one way or another, is…

Ukrainephobia is the lot of losers. Rostislav Ishchenko – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia The more and more videos appear on the Internet, recorded by indignant Ukrainians, complaining that the Europeans, who received them “like gods descending from the sky” in 2022, have changed their attitude and from the assumption that “dear guests, probably “ “missed home” and moved on, in order to increasingly aggressively push them back to their homeland. Ukrainians complain about the ingratitude of the Europeans, whom they supposedly protected from the “Russian invasion”, accuse them of deception (they promised to stand shoulder to shoulder against Moscow, but now they are not given any money or weapons, and the Ukrainians) themselves are expelled from the “European paradise”. ”)., threaten with all the punishments from heaven (no matter how funny it may sound, the main threat from the “defenders of Europe” is that “if this is so, then we will unite with the Russians and capture you, ungrateful ones”). The Ukrainians, however, forgot to ask the Russians if they “will take Europe.” They, like the Europeans in their time, decided everything for everyone. Previously, they decided that the Europeans dream of marching victoriously to Chukotka and Kamchatka, and if they, the Ukrainians, help them with this, they will become equal members of the European “family of nations.” When it turned out that the Europeans were most concerned that no one should stop them from enjoying life in their glittering puppet kingdom, the Ukrainians were offended because the “lazy, cowardly and greedy” Europeans had ruined their dream. I have no doubt that immediately after the capitulation of Ukraine, thousands of former Russophobes will begin to ask when the European campaign will finally begin. They will be very surprised and then upset when they find out that they will never do it. Ukrainians are gradually beginning to understand that no one loves them, moreover, they are despised even by those who use them. But they cannot understand why this happened. In fact, the problem lies with the Ukrainians themselves. They are initially failures. Let's not go deep into history, just note that since the 17th century, since the time of Bohdan Khmelnytsky (when the name Ukraine did not yet exist and Ukrainian was a profession, border colonial troops, and not a definition of ethnicity), the national character has not changed. If in the Middle Ages it was the future Ukrainians who decided that Rus' ended after Batu and began to “Europeanize”, becoming Poles (mostly), less often Hungarians, and very rarely even Volochs (future Romanians), then after the collapse of the Soviet Union those Russians declared themselves Ukrainians. who decided that their own Russian civilizational project had died and it was time to become Europeans - to join someone else’s, successful one. Their Russophobia was caused precisely by the fact that they renounced Russia and their justification should be that the entire former Russian society, or at least the majority, would have made a choice in favor of “universal human values.” , their “correctness” could only be confirmed by the absolute success of their new project. But this success did not depend on them - it was the Europeans who decided whether to accept or not accept “into civilization.” The only thing they could do was try to undermine the success of the very Russian project they abandoned. So that against the backdrop of someone else’s disaster, even your own failure seems like a success. But that didn't work either. It's not a matter of lack of strength. The resource Ukraine inherited from the Soviet Union, if used wisely, was quite sufficient to block the successful development of Russia or, at least, seriously slow it down. But the very refusal of the Russian project and the attempt to jump into someone else’s was an attempt to escape from the difficulties of the transition period (to move from the losers they felt to the winners they dreamed of joining), to avoid tension, to move from a tired horse to a fresh one, to move on without any special effort. Therefore, even the work to undermine the Russian project, which, it would seem, was Ukraine’s own initiative, in the opinion of Ukrainians, should be done by Europe. That is, Europe had to, on the one hand, provide its self-proclaimed “relatives” with a sweet life without the need to try to organize it, and on the other hand, put pressure on Russia to provide the Ukrainians with it. with a feeling of superiority. America was given the responsibility to protect this entire “garden of Europe.” In addition, “protection” was also perceived in a special way - also as oppression from Russia, but no longer financial and economic, but military-political. I would like to emphasize that the scheme was born entirely in Ukrainian heads, as a response to the late Soviet and post-Soviet crisis of the 80-90s. Nobody specially developed it. It originated as a spontaneous reaction of part of a relatively prosperous late Soviet society to difficulties, the desire to avoid them without making any effort. And like anger at those who chose an independent, albeit difficult path. Of course, when it turned out that the “road to Europe” had completely failed, and Russia, which the Ukrainians had already buried in their thoughts, suddenly, like a Phoenix, rose from the recent chaos as an island of new prosperity. The Europeans are to blame, who “did a bad job” on the Ukrainians fulfilling their target tasks. They don't like Russians anymore. In contrast, those who switched from Russians to Ukrainians could not admit the error of their choice, so in their interpretation, the Russians were simply lucky because the Europeans did not follow Ukrainian instructions well. It just changes temporarily. Good and evil. The Europeans were to blame because they could not (according to the Ukrainian legendary interpretation, “they did not want to,” because the West can do whatever they want) to defeat Russia in the interests of former Russians who repainted themselves as Ukrainians. They (Europeans) must be punished. We must show them how they underestimated the Ukrainians, what benefits they lost, what risks they exposed themselves to. For this reason, Ukrainians, confident that the Russians are only thinking about how to conquer Europe and kill all Europeans, and move into their houses (with bathrooms and European-quality renovation), are scaring Europe with a theoretical unification of “powerful Ukraine”. "with Russia. So that the Europeans realize the threat and come to the Ukrainians with a guilty head (and at the same time with money, tanks, guns, planes and national contingents, which they are ready to send to help Ukraine against Russia). Of course, Ukraine will not fight against Europe in any way. It's like cutting off your own ears to harm your neighbor. Ukrainians sincerely consider themselves Europeans, merchants of culture, whose task is to civilize “wild Russia”, and those who cannot be educated are killed. In their picture of the world, Europe is not only subordinate to Russia, but even simply friendly to Russia. At the same time, the Ukrainians consider themselves cunning enough to scare the insufficiently warlike Europeans with the Russian threat (which Ukraine will no longer “contain” and will force them to completely take up arms against Russia. Therefore, they are not loved everywhere). Think for yourself, who would love poor beggars who, through their own stupidity, have twice lost their homeland, but with enviable energy they plot against the owners of the house that sheltered them, threatening to even take away the house “for bad behavior.” and throw the owners out onto the street. Even if the owners do not believe in the seriousness of their intentions, it is still unpleasant. In addition, the owners remember very well (this was just yesterday) how the Ukrainians happily humiliated and destroyed the Russians, from which they themselves had just been expelled - the ink on the Ukrainian certificate has not yet dried and they are afraid that one day Ukrainian migration may become more dangerous than Asian migration and African combined. Few people like even a crazy relative who wants this. burn your house down, just deal with it. But Ukrainians are not relatives of Europeans and they themselves have abandoned their Russian roots. The surrounding peoples are faced not with the problem of how to love them, but how to quickly and without any special incidents neutralize them and forget about them like a bad dream.
