whose side are you on?…….

Ukraine has “broken the backbone” of the Russian army and will gain victory in bloody battle, but the end of the war will be achieved through diplomacy, says Volodymyr Zelensky.

In a TV interview to mark his third year as president, Mr Zelensky said Ukraine’s military had inflicted enough damage on Russia to ensure “they will not be able to get back on their feet for the next few years”.

His comments came as Russia claimed control of Mariupol after the last 2400 Ukrainian forces, who been defending the city’s Azovstal steelworks, surrendered and were taken captive.

Despite this strategic setback for Ukraine, Mr Zelensky declared that his country “wanted everything back” from Russia.

And he vowed Ukraine would take it all back, adding that the country’s forces would return the front lines to where they were before February 24, when Russia invaded.

“It will mean that they did not conquer us and that we defended our country,” he said, though he noted this would be difficult and that diplomacy would follow.

 

Meanwhile Moscow has published a “stop list” of 963 Americans who will be indefinitely banned from entering Russia, including politicians, journalists, CEOs and a Hollywood celebrity.

Russia’s ministry said the US citizens were singled out because they “incite Russophobia” and the ban was necessary to force America to change its behaviour by “realising a new geopolitical reality”.

The list includes US President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and most US senators and members of the House of Representatives.

Others were Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg, and actor Morgan Freeman who The Kremlin said had accused Russia of plotting against the US and “calling for a fight against our country”.

(Freeman appeared in a video in 2017 that accused Russia of meddling in the 2016 US presidential election which was won by Donald Trump).

Russia’s gains in Donbas 

Russia is moving closer to claiming victory over Ukraine’s Donbas region.

Russia also launched what appeared to be a major assault to seize the last remaining Ukrainian-held territory in Luhansk, one of two provinces that make up the south-eastern Donbas region.

Ukraine’s General Staff of Armed Forces did not comment on Russia’s claim it had taken Mariupol in its morning update on Saturday.

The end of fighting in Mariupol, the biggest city Russia has captured so far and the main port for the Donbas, gives Russian President Vladimir Putin a rare victory in the invasion.

control of the donbass…...

The size of the Ukrainian military is now almost six times larger than it was at the beginning of the conflict between Kiev and Moscow, President Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed.

“We needed an army of more than 250,000 or 260,000, but there were only around 120,000” battle-ready troops in Ukraine before the start of the Russian military operation in late February, Zelensky told Ukraine 24 outlet on Friday.

The president noted that he’d given an order in early 2022 to boost the number of soldiers by another 100,000 “no matter if we had the money or not.” But he acknowledged that even those numbers weren’t enough to stop the Russian military.

“Today it’s 700,000. Now you see the results of the work of 700,000 who are fighting,” he added.

Zelensky ordered a general mobilization after the start of the conflict, saying that all men aged between 18 and 60 should stay in the country and fight.

Earlier this week, a law was submitted to the Ukrainian parliament calling for those males who still managed to flee and failed to return to the country within 30 days to be deprived of their citizenship.

Russia attacked its neighboring state almost three months ago, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocol was designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Note:

 

Zelenskyyyy-y is an actor used at claiming "sillyloques" on stage and things haven't changed...... Psychological warfare is the name of his game:

 

Telephone terrorism, debit card fraud, information attacks, massive comments duplication on popular social media posts.

"Troll factories" and entire campaigns to provoke fear and panic. This is the work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ centres for informational and psychological operations. Who has launched this hybrid warfare front, and what is its purpose?

Centres of Informational and Psychological Operations (hereinafter referred to as CIPSO) have proved to be among the most controversial and scandalous in terms of working practices within the Ukrainian Army. These centres are part of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine (before 2014 they were part of the Ukrainian Navy's intelligence service). Their main "combat" task is information and psychological sabotage in the enemy's domain. In this article, we will tell you about some large-scale operations on the territory of Russia, where Ukrainian CIPSOs played a role.

Most of the materials used in the article appeared on the web thanks to the Ukrainian hacker group "Beregini", which has been operating against the Kiev government since the start of the conflict in Donbass.

What Are These Centres?

It is argued that CIPSO forces had been incorporated into the Armed Forces of Ukraine by 2004; at the time, they were part of the Ukrainian Navy's intelligence service. For example, one centre was based in Sevastopol and another in Odessa. By 2014, after the ‘Revolution of Dignity’, the centres of informational and psychological operations were transferred under the jurisdiction of the Special Operations Forces (SSO).

Documents available on the web revealed that the SSO has four such centres:

 

72nd Centre of Informational and Psychological Operation, military unit A4398 (often referred to as the main one), was moved from Sevastopol to Brovary in 2014;

 

16th Centre of Informational and Psychological Operations, military unit A1182, located in Gujva, Zhytomyr Region;

 

74th Centre of Informational and Psychological Operations, military unit A1277, located in Lviv;

 

83rd Centre of Informational and Psychological Operation, military unit A2455, based in Odessa.

Each of these centres collects and analyses information to discredit the enemy in the information space, create a positive image of Ukraine in the world and prepare information and psychological diversions.

Simply put, the main activity of the Ukrainian CIPSO is to support the information front on its own territory, in the enemy's space and on the territory of potential "partners" and allies.

Under NATO Standards

The Ukrainian Defence Ministry trained Ukrainian officers, soldiers and freelancers in the art of information-psychological warfare using some of the world's best practices. No one makes any secret of this. For example, Alexei Arestovych cited in one of his interviews American textbooks on information warfare as an example. He now works as an adviser to the head of President Zelensky's office, but for a long time before that, Arestovych served in the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.

 

"Do you understand how information-psychological warfare works? The first page in an American textbook on information-psychological warfare, the first chapter, I'll just quote: 'the main task of an information-psychological operation is to seize the agenda'. That's it, after that you can relax and do nothing", Arestovich explained in a relatively recent interview.

 

The Special Operations Forces were established as one of the key units of the Ukrainian Navy. The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces website presents the structure of the main units and products, copying, according to an officer of the Special Operations Centre, a similar system of units and products which is used in the United States.

As in the US military, Ukraine has four IPSO centres. Several documents show that the classification of information products is also based on NATO standards.
