Ukraine-Russia war – live: Putin’s forces face shortage of tanks as Kyiv’s counteroffensive creeps forward

Russian forces are suffering a shortage of tanks, the nations’s defence minister has admitted during a visit to a military factory in western Siberia.

Sergei Shoigu has called for more tanks to be manufactured "to meet the needs of Russian forces" in Ukraine, with Kyiv having launched a counteroffensive involving Western tanks and weapons.

Mr Shoigu said there was a need "to maintain the increased production of tanks" and better security features in armored vehicles, the Defense Ministry said in a statement about the visit.

Ukrainian deputy defense minister, Hanna Maliar, said on Saturday that Kyiv’s forces were making progress – or having “registered tactical successes” as she put it – in the southern Zaporizhzhia region

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is to host a group of African leaders who travelled to Russia on a self-styled "peace mission" after a trip to Ukraine on Friday.

Seven African leaders - the presidents of Comoros, Senegal, South Africa and Zambia, as well as Egypt's prime minister and top envoys from the Republic of Congo and Uganda – have travelled to St Petersburg to meet Mr Putin.

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS REALLY DID STAND STILL FOR TWO HOURS FOR THEIR COMMANDER'S SPEECH, LEAVING THEM SITTING DUCKS FOR AN ARTILLERY STRIKE - UKRAINIAN OFFICIAL SAYS

A Ukrainian official confirmed reports that originated from a Russian milblogger that soldiers stood still for two hours for a commander's speech, leaving them sitting ducks for Ukraine's high mobility artillery rocket system, or HIMARS.

The unnamed official told the Kyiv Post: "It's a really funny situation there. They stood in the open air for two hours listening to the speech."

"That is enough time to fix them, transport the HIMARS, enter the coordinates and hit them," the official said

The official's comments confirm details of the attack outlined by the pro-war military blogger Rybar, who said that soldiers in a Russian division stood in one place for two hours.

He said they were waiting for their commander to give a motivational speech. Rybar said the attack, which he said involved HIMARS and Ukraine's artillery, happened in the city of Kreminna, in Luhansk.

No Ukrainian officials, including the one who spoke to the Post, have confirmed that Kyiv was behind the strike.

Russian sources also told the Kyiv Post that it was near Kreminna and said members of the 20th Combined Arms Army had gathered for two hours, though the outlet could not confirm the claims.

The impact of the strike has not been independently confirmed, but some reports put the number of dead at 100 and the number of dead and wounded at 200, Insider's Sam Fellman reported.

Rybar said the casualties were higher than in some recent battles.

Russian milbloggers reacted to the incident with fury, as Insider's Matthew Loh reported.

One blogger, who goes by the name Older Edda, said on Telegram, according to the Moscow Times' translation: "If by the middle of the second year of the war, there are commanders who bring columns to the front and gather personnel in one big pile, waiting for the enemy artillery to strike, then such commanders must be shot before the formation, even if they are colonels or generals."

Another Russian blogger, who goes by the name Two Majors, wrote: "Stand in a column for two hours in one place! Well, what are you doing, father commanders, you command people," according to the Moscow Times.

Russia's pro-war military bloggers have repeatedly expressed frustration with Russia's performance since invading Ukraine, which, instead of being a quick victory, has seen Russia's forces stuck in the east, where battles have been grinding for months.

Bloggers frequently push for more brutal tactics and have criticized individual commanders and leaders for their decisions.

The HIMARS — which are long-range, high-precision rocket launchers — were given to Ukraine by the US, and can hit targets up to 50 miles away. One expert told Insider last year that it is the perfect weapon for Ukraine, as Russia's poor logistics mean senior commanders often move close to the front.

Kreminna is likely within the range of HIMARS as well as Ukraine's 155mm artillery, Insider's Sam Fellman reported.

Esses gajos nunca mais se livram da figura do oficial comissário político. Em Angola tive que lidar com alguns, tudo malta de discurso fácil doutrinário (parece uma cassete) e sempre ligados a negociatas da logística (frangos, salsichas, whyskis topo de gama, etc). Do piorio.

Só por curiosidade, existe nos Estado maior Angolano a figura do Comandante Adjunto para Educação Patriótica que coordena todos os comissários políticos. A chulice e a ineficácia típica da formação Pacto de Varsóvia que ainda perdura.

Rússia diz ter conseguido "em grande medida" objetivo de desmilitarizar a Ucrânia
https://24.sapo.pt/atualidade/artigos/russia-diz-ter-conseguido-em-grande-medida-objetivo-de-desmilitarizar-a-ucrania

A Rússia considerou hoje que o objetivo de desmilitarizar a Ucrânia, declarado quando invadiu o país vizinho há quase 16 meses, foi já alcançado "em grande medida".

“A Ucrânia está a utilizar cada vez menos as suas próprias armas e cada vez mais os sistemas de armas fornecidos pelos países ocidentais”, disse o porta-voz do Kremlin (presidência russa), Dmitri Peskov.

Como resultado, uma das tarefas que o lado russo se tinha proposto “foi de facto cumprida em grande medida”, referiu, citado pela agência espanhola EFE.

Hahahaha

Imagens "interessantes" de soldados desarmados e com as mãos estendidas e à vista a serem executadas por outros.
Coisas da guerra,  expectáveis (infelizmente), mas que têm pesos diferentes conforme o lado.
Os ocs, porta vozes do sistema,  seletivamente mostram ou ocultam aquilo que lhes convém.
Resumindo,  a hipocrisia reina na sociedade actual e a palha abundante alimenta muitos "burros".

[papatango]

Mas está a falar de qual sistema ?

O sistema de terror que impõe a censura ?
O sistema que obriga as crianças a treino militar aos quatro anos ?
O sistema em que a própria igreja arregimenta seguidores para a guerra ?
O sistema que autoriza exércitos privados em operações de primeira linha ?
O sistema que acha que o fim da URSS foi uma catástrofe, da mesma forma que achou que a rendição da Alemanha em 1918 foi uma traição ?

Não deixa de ser engraçado.
Vêm-me à memória expressões como tomar a nuvem por Juno ou uma andorinha não faz a primavera...

O problema destes tresloucados, que tentam inverter todos os valores, comparar o incomparável,  criar factos a partir de meias verdades e que vivem dos "factos alternativos" criados pelas televisões do sistema, sim, o verdadeiro sistema, que controla, mata, assassina e ameaça quem fala, o problema desta gente, é que não tem a noção do ridiculo.

[papatango]

O verdadeiro sistema, o sistema terrorista, que o rancor e ódio dos comunistas e restante animalário têm à liberdade propaga ...

A "dona" do Russia Today, é a própria a dizer que o canal de televisão nunca foi  um canal de notícias, mas sim uma arma defensiva da Grande Russia...

E é este canal que é a fonte da verdade desta gente ...
