Analysis from a french general blog made yesterday
The probability of an open interstate conflict between Russia and Ukraine is now very high. This war will be part of the wider confrontation between Russia and the Atlantic Alliance, which has been going on for several years, and which is being waged on both sides with all possible instruments, both civilian and military.
Let us recall above all the rules of the game of the use of the military instrument. In the background, there is the nuclear weapon on both sides, which, like the queen on a chessboard, influences the whole game by its power even if it does not move. But nobody wants it to move. Nuclear powers that confront each other therefore avoid anything that could make it tremble, and first of all to confront each other directly with weapons. There may have been some friction in various places, but efforts have always been made to control these clashes very quickly.
Let us note some operational consequences of this rule. If we do not confront each other directly militarily, we can always attack those who do not benefit from this nuclear umbrella. As the enemy of my enemy can eventually be considered as my friend, the opposite side can also choose to militarily help the threatened state.
If the attack has not yet taken place, the first way to help it is to place the target state under its protection as quickly as possible, or else risk preemptively triggering the enemy attack that we want to avoid. The only way is to play the "reckless pedestrian" who suddenly crosses the road and forces all motorists to brake. In 1983, Chad, threatened by Libya, called France for help. A few days later, three French battalions occupied key points in central Chad and it was made clear to Colonel Gaddafi that crossing the 15th parallel would provoke a war with France.
If the attack took place, there was no longer any question of sending troops, except at best for "ghost soldiers", volunteers, lost leave-holders, private soldiers, etc., and even then only in small doses to avoid the rule of non-confrontation. In reality, it will be a matter of hoping that the attacked state will resist long enough to be helped by making the war a costly stalemate.
This brings us back to Ukraine. When the crisis erupted at the turn of 2014, Russia responded immediately with a mobilization of forces on the border and the annexation of Crimea. The Atlantic Alliance, at the request of the new Ukrainian government, could have played a "reckless pedestrian" at that point. No one dared. In the next phase, while remaining masked, Russia supported the autonomist movement in Donbass and when it was threatened with suffocation, launched new military moves: deployment of an anti-aircraft force that chased Ukrainian planes and helicopters out of the sky, then bludgeoning of Ukrainian battalions along the border with drone-guided multiple rocket launchers -a battalion was destroyed in three minutes- and finally commitment at the end of August of joint battle groups (JBGs) -battalions grouping together tanks, mechanized infantry and above all artillery- on all the axes from Russia to Donetsk and Luhansk. Aggregated with local militiamen to provide infantry and a political mask, and followed by electronic warfare groups and very heavy artillery, these groups crushed the Ukrainian brigades encountered in their path. This resulted in the Minsk I agreements. In January 2015, the Russians did the same thing again, with even more groupings, and that gave the Minsk II agreements.
Today, a new Russian attack, regardless of its objective of conquest would take the same form. In the 1980s, taking up Russian operating principles from the 1930s, Soviet doctrine called this a "high-speed offensive". The principle is simple: to act on a whole chosen terrain in a minimum of time. In the farthest distance, infiltrating troops on foot, planes, helicopters, or ships; in the middle of the strikes, planes, helicopters, multiple rocket launchers or others, and behind the shells of the GTIA passing by all the axes. The Russians have around Ukraine and in the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass about 120 IWGs (for comparison the French Army is sure to be able to form six complete, after that it is not certain), but also 500 fighter aircraft, which unlike 2014 would be used this time. With these assets, they can launch up to eight high-speed attacks simultaneously, each on a major road along a rectangle 100 km by 200 deep to be conquered in a week.
There are only two things that could stand in their way.
The first is a "reckless pedestrian". Despite the progressive disorganization of European armies since 1990, one could have found some forces to deploy quickly, but only among the very few nations willing to put their soldiers at risk of course. In a rather unanimous way, we were quick to admit to the Russians that we would never do it. So let's forget about this option, unless we strangely consider that doing it in Romania will dissuade Russia from attacking Ukraine.
The second is of course Ukrainian defense. Militarily, Ukraine is somewhat in the position of NATO having to defend the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) against the Soviet Group of Forces in Germany. The working scenario was that of a high-speed offensive on five axes of attack seeking to seize the FRG before Western leaders even had time to consider the use of nuclear weapons. There were then only two modes of defense: the first was a mirror image of the Russian method from armored units in the first instance to deep strikes, the second was a surface defense - a techno-guerrilla to use Joseph Henrotin's expression - made up of small, well-trained and equipped infantry units each defending a given terrain, in the manner of the Finnish defense against the Russians in the winter of 1940.
Ukraine is currently capable of doing neither. In the air or, a little better, on the ground, there is nothing to prevent the Russians from having control of the sky with all that may imply. On the ground, the forty or so IWGs available are equipped with old Soviet equipment, inferior to that of the other side, and without stockpiles (note, in passing, the mysterious accidents that have occurred for some time in the ammunition depots in Ukraine and even among the few external suppliers). As for the techno-guerrilla, it is as little techno as guerrilla. There are 25 territorial brigades made up of reservists, but they are far from the Finnish fighter-skier battalions of 1940 or the Lebanese Hezbollah in 2006 against Israel. There are no fortified lines, no subterranean tunnels, no hidden depots, no companies of elite fighters, despite the undeniable courage of Ukrainian soldiers. One can receive anti-tank missiles at the last moment or buy excellent Turkish armed drones, but one still has to know how to use them.
All this is very little and very late, and this remark is valid both for the Ukrainian state and for the countries of the Atlantic Alliance, which often wake up only when they are slapped. So we do not see what could stop the Russian high-speed attacks, perhaps simultaneous aimed at conquering all of Ukraine at once, or successive ones seeking to gradually dismember the country. At most we can attack in the civilian field and prepare a little better militarily for the next move, in Ukraine if the initial Russian victory leads to an unstable situation, or elsewhere.

>>515099after Crimea (where a lot of units defected) I imagine that they reduced the amount of gear soldiers carry on them to reduce the losses
Russia destroyed a lot of their military warehouses, where a lot of their gear was being kept
So, I don't think its very long. Then again, they are arming their own Volkssturm so who knows.

UKRAINIAN BUCK JUST GOT BROKE
>>515114The best outcome tbh.
Let's hope both Putin and Zelensky agree.
Although I wouldn't doubt for a second that Zelensky might get couped in order to continue the war effort.
>>515123I mean, they've been saying that there's going to be a war since 2014, why would you trust them.
It's a real "boy cries wolf" situation you know?

>>515114just heard it on the radio
also claims ukrainian casualties are 137 dead and 316 injured as of today
>>515114Tbh if they were already capitulating they wouldn't have given a full notice for absolute mobilization and have given 10000 rifles to civilians just in Kiev.
It's probably like when you get proposed a peace deal in EU4 by the AI, that you ignore completely.
And Zelensky probably knows that.
>>515145Gigacope
Ukraine is already considering surrendering to Russia.

you mad?
>>515190But it's not convincing though, how does taking Ukraine ward off NATO?
Ukraine will add absolutely nothing to their arsenal
The Russian Defence Ministry has described the results of the Russian Armed Forces' strikes on the ground facilities of Ukraine's military infrastructure. This was reported by Igor Konashenkov, official spokesman of the Russian Defense Ministry.
"As a result of the strikes of the Russian Armed Forces, 74 ground facilities of Ukraine's military infrastructure were put out of action. Including 11 airfields of the air force, three command posts, a Ukrainian naval base, as well as 18 radar stations of S-300 and Buk-M1 air defense missile systems," Konashenkov said.
It is also reported that a Ukrainian combat helicopter and four Bayraktar TB-2 drones were shot down.
According to Konashenkov, the LNR and DNR groups continue to counterattack AFU units. They are receiving fire support from the Russian Armed Forces. Currently, in the area of hostilities, resistance from Ukraine is mostly provided by armed nationalist units.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian servicemen are trying to avoid military clashes and are negotiating corridors to leave the operation area unarmed.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu issued special orders for all unit commanders to treat Ukrainian servicemen with respect.
"Given that AFU servicemen, unlike the nationalists, swore an oath to the Ukrainian people and obeyed orders, treat them with respect. To work out the creation of safe corridors for the safe exit of the laid-down Ukrainian servicemen from the areas of the operation to their families," the order reads.
Igor Konashenkov said that the DNR group advancing on Volnovakha had advanced up to seven kilometers. Fourteen Ukrainian servicemen surrendered. When they sign a renunciation of armed resistance, they will be released to their families.
The LNR group is also advancing - it has advanced another kilometer near the settlement of Stepovoye, despite fierce resistance from Ukrainian nationalist battalions.
The Russian Air Force crashed an Su-25 attack aircraft. The cause was an error in piloting technique. The pilot ejected and is in his military unit.

Martial law in Ukraine is already preventing male citizens 18-60 from exiting the country. Otherwise there will be a huge refugee crisis that will be absorbed mostly by Poland.
>In connection with the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, the constitutional rights and freedoms of a person and citizen provided for in Articles 30-34, 38, 39, 41-44, 53 of the Constitution of Ukraine may be temporarily restricted, as well as temporary restrictions on the rights and legitimate interests of legal entities may be introduced.
There will be a large resistance to conscription in Ukraine. Public meetings are suspended, freedom of movement is suspended, soldiers have the right to habitate in private residences, mass surveillance will begin, elections will be frozen, patents will be liquidated, private enterprises will have their property expropriated, and education services will be suspended. This will result in a massive capital flight from Ukraine along with the previously mentioned refugee crisis.
>>515334>self-determination i don't recall "self determination" being about entering imperialist military alliances to threaten your neighbor
and yes, the nato has a clause where the security of the other states must be considered when someone want to join.
And finally ukraine didnt "independently" choose to join it, given there was a US backed coup first
>>515366He's not. He's upset that World Tension is too low to join the faction.
But one can always spike it. :^)
>>515334but joining a military alliance is by its very definition NOT about state-sovereignty and self determination.
it literally depends on the security interests of all current members of the military alliance and their partners and has nothing to do with the sovereignty of the candidate in question.
This is why Russian demands were directed at the NATO members, not the Ukraine. You are conflating completely different concepts.
Noone would deny that Russia isnt a sovereign country, but they would be laughed out of the room if they claimed this sovereignty guaranteed them a place in NATO.
>>515355Is this not the same shit that happened to Poland in WW2?
Why does Eastern Europe not have their own defense agreements? Westoids repeatedly prove they can't be trusted on this.
>>515334Oh yes, as if undemocratically dissolving the USSR and installing a bunch of retards like Yeltsin and Zalinsky was respecting national sovereignty.
You are a sick imperialist bugman and the world is slipping from your grasp as we speak.
>>515405Don’t fucking cope
You and I both know nearly every war prior to this one was FAR more violent and geopolitically influential.
This shit is just another Slavic meltdown to be forgotten again while news companies dickride off public induced fear. If this mattered enough NATO would’ve responded ages ago
>>515408I don't think they have even agreed on what should be
in the sanctions, and Germany is blocking Russia's ban from SWIFT.
>>515370I actually didn’t think of that.
Probably incorporating Azov into his national guard wasn’t such a good idea wew

There's pictures of Su27 wrecked on the tarmac, and the one that defected to Romania still had a full missile load.
>>515480>I know but this puts the nail on the coffin. After Vietnam and Afghanistan who were mostly poor and weak third world nations, the US is now facing the big Russian bear and backed out without ever firing a shot.How about Cuban missile crisis. The whole Cold War made it obvious that two
security nuke council states will never go to war with each other directly. It's the hard line. The only moves available are sending weapons and sanctions.

Bydlo meaning: (derogatory) Someone who is backwards, lacking refinement and culture, usually a person of Slavic origin (most often used for Ukrainians I think). Borrowed from Polish bydło (“cattle”) in online culture; compare the connotative uses of redneck and sheeple.
