Russian invaders want to take Azovstal by storm/Ukrayina.pl
According to the American side, the invaders left two battalion tactical groups in Mariupol. That is, from 1.5 to 2 thousand attack aircraft attacking the lines of Ukrainian defenders at Azovstal. Read more in the exclusive blog for the Channel 24 website.
Who opposes the Ukrainian fortress of Mariupol
The rest of the Russian troops have been redeployed to the north of the city and to the Popasnyansky direction. This, in particular, was reported by CNN on May 4, citing a representative of the US Department of Defense.
Earlier, I voiced a similar assessment of the situation of the analytical department of the Right Cause public initiative. According to the organization's analysts, part of the Russian troops deployed near Mariupol were transferred to other areas, namely to the Maryinka area and to the Popasnyanskoye direction. We are talking about the fact that, having actually blocked Mariupol, the Russians left only assault detachments, which are now conducting military operations on the territory of Azovstal.
“According to various estimates, approximately 1,500 Russian occupiers and local collaborators were involved in the assault on the territory of the plant,” the report said. people.
All the maps of the occupiers have long been revealed
This is not the first time that the insides of Western studies on the situation in the east of Ukraine are actually of Ukrainian origin or confirm the data of Ukrainian sources.
< p>For example, on January 12, a month before the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, on the air of Channel 4, I published information from the analytical department of the Right Cause public initiative that the Russian Federation was preparing subversive terrorist acts in eastern Ukraine with a large number of civilian casualties.< /p>
It was about the possible commission of acts of sabotage using chemical weapons in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in particular, near the city of Slovyansk. Separately, it was noted that Russia plans to use this as an excuse for a large-scale invasion of Ukraine in order to “protect compatriots.”
I note that after the voiced information, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan during a briefing at the White House confirmed that Russia could fabricate a pretext for a new invasion of Ukraine.
U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Russia is laying the groundwork for the ability to fabricate a pretext for an invasion, including through sabotage and information operations, accusing Ukraine of plotting an attack on Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.
“Our intelligence community has found that that Russia is looking for an excuse to invade, including through sabotage and information operations,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said at a briefing.
At the same time, the OSCE mission did not confirm the information of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine about the creation of a casus belli (the reason for the invasion – channel 24) in the form of an ammonia leak at the plant of the Stirol concern in temporarily occupied Horlivka.
In addition, on February 3, State Department spokesman Ned Price said that Russia was preparing a provocation during which it planned to shell the positions of the 1st and 2nd Army Corps located in the occupied territories, with civilian casualties. And then – blame the Armed Forces of Ukraine for this. Actually, this is information from the Right Cause public initiative.
Local sources of the organization recorded the presence of a Russian film crew of three people on the territory of the occupied Lugansk. They were supposed to arrive in the area of the villages of Kalinovo and Kalinovo-Borshchevatoe, where they transferred additional units of the 2nd Army Corps of infidels and “sniper pairs”.
According to the plan, the infidels were supposed to open sniper fire and provoke the Armed Forces of Ukraine to return fire. And the Russian film crew is to document this fact. Information about this casus belli option was first disseminated by the Ukrainian side, and later by the American media.
I will add that in the summer of 2020, the OSCE and the United States confirmed the information published in the media by the analytical department of the Right Cause public initiative about the preparation of Russian military provocations in the Donbass. Western partners have expressed concern about the deployment of Russian battalion-tactical groups in the Donbass.
Let us recall that civilians still remain on the territory of Azovstal, since the Russian Federation is actually disrupting the evacuation plan agreed at the highest diplomatic level.
