The loudest event of the week is the sortie of the Ukrainian sabotage and intelligence group into the Belgorod region of Russia. In the words, the raid is attributed to units consisting of Russian citizens (the Liberty of Russia and the Russian Volunteer Corps), in fact, it is not so clear that there is already a lot of it, but there was a lot of skill (there were many news, so there were details here , in our life blog).
Well, now it can already be said that the advanced forces of the Legion "Freedom of Russia" and RDK are successfully advanced to Belgorod. Putin soldiers scatter. White-blue-white flag is already over Russia! ⚪️🔵⚪️ Pic.twitter.com/mxw1r98bp0

Well, this Belgorod region is not needed, there are still no Russian villages there. And the villages, the villages are not like. Take it!

I am surprised why such a stir for the work of DRG in the Belgorod region?! The Legion has long been preparing for such operations, now they have been conducting them. I think this is only the beginning, but it is time to get used to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that this will be regular practice of DRG from the Ground of the Russian Federation, fighting on the side of Ukraine. What is wrong?

Even in my tape is full of posts and comments about what is happening in the Belgorod region, who came there, with what goals, whom they killed, what was captured. RDK, LSR, DRGs that they make up ...
What can we say about the media space in general.
And all this is completely empty. Because no reliable information that could yesterday and today give an opportunity to at least approximately realistically understand what is happening there, is simply not. And there will be no time for some more.
The entry of units (so far, as far as is known to the reinforced company) of the Ukrainian special forces (and the RDK and the "Free Russia Legion" - part of the foreign corps in the subordination of the State Unitary Enterprise of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine) to the territory of the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation showed that:
1. You can just drive to the Russian checkpoint on a large highway on the border with the country with which there is a war on light armored vehicles, shoot it, capture military personnel and equipment, and then drive a dozen km. deeper in Russia, in the end to the district center.
2. There will be no serious resistance to this during at least three or four hours. Since the border coverage parts, even in the most dangerous directions (and Graivoronovsky district is surrounded by Ukrainian territory from three sides), simply is not.
3. There is neither trenches along the border, nor the positions of the Petlows and gunners on the nearest hills, but also the means of passive resistance (concrete "dragon's teeth") are placed on the highway so that it would be convenient to travel around them (and drivers of the enemy armored vehicles).
4. The only means of operational response from the Russian side is only outdated helicopters - and if the APU on its side of the border pulled powerful air defense, then over the past day the losses of the Russian Air Force would have been in the Belgorod region more than one helicopter, but five.
5. In this regard, it can be assumed that if not a reinforced company, but a full -fledged brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, would have entered the Graivoron district, then it would be quite likely to have a chance to reach Belgorod.
6. In any case, everything is much worse/better than it could be assumed. This example demonstrates that the Russian Federation has no reserves in the border areas and weak ones - in the operational depth, which means that residents of all regional regions of the Russian Federation are in direct danger and must be evacuated without fail.
7. Ukrainian units have not yet left the territory of the district, they are dug. Let's see what other discoveries this incident will bring us.
Today in the morning some unknown (Russian partisans?), Having got somewhere guns, or mortars, or drones (in a military commissar?) Fired (for nothing!) The peaceful Belgorod region (pure animals!).
And then a detachment of 20 people (Russian partisans?), Having got a military uniform, armor, helmets, communications, grenades and machine guns (in the military commander?) Socmed (not guilty!) Of the Belgorod region and began to hooligate, shoot and throw grenades. Or shoot from mortars? Or run drones? They have not advanced anywhere, only a few kilometers. One or two ... well, three ... What are you saying? To Gravoron (typical Ukrainian name) - nine km.? Well, let it be nine. Well, I say - a few.
The valiant Russian FSB, the Russian Guard, the army and all-all-all entered the “Edelweiß” plan (where do they get these names? The next plan should be called “Nachtigall” Ho-Ho-ho) and so jumped on the Russian partisans that immediately 39 saboteurs were killed, and the rest were captured.
What are you saying? Where are the 19 more corpses from? So no one saw the first 20 either! And in general, the partisans were not a company, but a battalion! What? The company is also more than 20 people? Yes? How much? 100? So there were 100 of them. No! Let them be 2 thousand. So more reliable: you never know what will we get our heads later? Suddenly we want to tell you that there was a real battle? How beautiful it sounds: “Battle of Gravorone”!
In short, these two thousand did not get anywhere and we killed them all. But at the same time they were on BMP and tanks (which they also bought in Voentorg) and we still catch the remaining and they, after they were killed and then shifted, everyone had long left for Ukrainian territory. I hope I chewed everything on you and now there will be no questions?
Yes, Putin is reported. He is in the know. What is reported? That 5 thousand Ukrainian invaders decided to get into the Belgorod region, and we caught and killed them all. What? Can't kill prisoners? Then it means the opposite: first - killed, and then - caught. Now - okay? Well, good.
And yes. In the evening, some drones fell into the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Belgorod. The fire began. Firefighters extinguish him. The drones are also, apparently, from Voentorg. Like explosives in them. Who launched is unknown.
This nonsense today was given by Peskov and the rest of the Russian propaganda Shusher smaller. I received a true pleasure, watching the state of the stupor and, at the same time, the panic that they showed. Their comments were extremely idiotic.
Of course, Ukraine is completely refused: we have nothing to do with it, this is all a warrior, understand for yourself, these are your partisans - and talk to them. And how much is it in vain to blame us. We are preparing for the offensive, we are not up to stupidity.
As they say, the debt payment is red. The same Podolyak shone directly with pleasure when he almost literally repeated the famous Putin passages about the “Voentorg” of the Spring Spring of 2014.
Briefly speaking. If the Putin's security forces can’t even cope with such sabotage, then what will they talk about how they will behave under the Ukrainian offensive? I have very good forebodings about the onset of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Moreover, our business is right. So the enemy will be defeated and the victory will be behind us.
The Russian authorities and all departments responsible for security - the FSB, the Russian Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army not only missed the enemy armed groups into the country, but are not able to oust them. In general, Vladimir Putin and all his Kamarila received another stunning slap in the way. [...]
And I almost forgot. On October 18 last year, Putin, by his decree, introduced in the territories of the regions bordering the regions with Ukraine, a special “response regime” to ensure public order and security. The inhabitants of Grailooron are very grateful to the president.
Yesterday's events in the Belgorod region showed that we all, in general, know so well. The authorities really do not love when something anxious and unpleasant happens, and therefore developed a model of behavior, when the top leaders literally dives into the bushes and sits there until the situation is clarified or the crisis is resolved. And instead, it puts forward people who are more similar to either clowns or to ordinary firefighters, in place of the fire, and they are also distracted.
A categorical rejection of any responsibility for their decisions is a characteristic feature of the entire regime and its highest representatives.
The fact that the causal relationship of events in the Belgorod region with the decision made on February 24 last year is obvious, it makes no sense to explain and prove. In this sense, Putin, as a person who then made a decision, is obliged to speak and explain how it happened that one of the consequences of the decision “Then” was the collapse of even a hint of safety in all border regions “now”. Until February 24, there was anything, but the dashing raids of saboteurs were not for sure. And if so, then weren't you mistaken, did you hasten on February 24?
If so, then you need to correct the error. If you were not mistaken, then when people will begin to feel safe?
But a person who brings a direct responsibility for what is happening is hidden and frozen. The fact that this is not male behavior has no questions for a long time. But the rejection of responsibility for his decisions is caused by a completely reasonable question-and maybe you need some other leader who can somehow get business and not to jump into the bushes as a hare with any anxious event?
In general, in today's raid in the Belgorod region, two episodes are indicative.
The first, as Ukrainians say about it: "The tank can be bought in any military commissar, this is not us" and so on. Well, have you received a response rhetoric? Or did you think everything will work only in one direction? Of course not
The second, about the fortifications on which they spent a lot of money. And which, of course, do not work! What could go wrong here?
I read the comments that the inhabitants of the Belgorod region leave Governor Gladkov in the wake of the attack on the region (which, incidentally, continues).
There are a lot of fair indignations (there are no protection, people were abandoned, the border guards scattered, the “serif feature” did not help, there are no bomb shelters, etc.). But it is interesting that the word “experiment” flickers several times (“did you arrange an experiment from the Belgorod region? Verification of tolerance of the people?”).
That is, apparently, some people, having seen enough TV about a powerful army and an invincible FSB, still cannot understand that they have not been protected, because they simply could not. Because there is no one. They think that this is some kind of strange plan of power-to leave them alone with saboteurs.
It is customary for Christians to say: "Everyone will be rewarded on his deeds." Good dictum. What is important to understand here?
It is important that inaction is also an action.
Now the people of the Belgorod region are panicking, they say, helicopters fly low, shoot thermal traps directly onto the heads of civilians, there are battles, shelling, and indeed - the devil will break the leg in these Russian showdowns. RDK and LSV are fighting all day fighting with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
The Russian authorities did not evacuate the inhabitants of Belgorod, and then it will only be worse.
And all because a buffer zone for the safety of Ukrainian citizens will be created. Those same citizens who have been killing the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for more than a year (and wider - nine years), destroying their cities.
Where were the inhabitants of Belgorod when the Russians adjacent to him Kharkov ironed with rockets, aviation and MLRS?
Have you protested a lot? Did you condemn a lot? Have you sabotaged a lot?
No. They lived for themselves and did not blow in the mustache, while the pierce and the nightmare exterminated their neighbors.
And now, hesitating and a nightmare are eager for them in their own home, and they are now scared. War is never a game of one gate. Whoever sows the wind - he reapes the storm, and who sows the storm - he will immediately reap the endless horror.
Silence - there is a crime and dirt.
In addition to obvious frustration in the ranks of Russian propagandists, there is another fairly common reaction to a raid to the Belgorod region. A childhood friend (let's call him Egor), with whom I once went to the same sports section in Orel (300 kilometers from Belogorod, like Belgorod, also the city of the first salute) in February 22 was outraged by Ukraine’s invasion, but quickly changed its attitude to "once, we must win, otherwise Russia is the end." We have not talked for almost a year, and yesterday he wrote to me on Facebook: "Do you now see that Putin was right, and they really want to transfer the war to our territory? They did the right thing that they hit the first year ago - otherwise the Americans would have been in Moscow now." To the question "and maybe if a year ago Putin had not hit, then no one attacked the Belgorod region?" Egor replied that I either did not understand international relations, or the Americans bought me.
I could be mistaken, but something tells me that there are enough such incorruptible "experts" in Russia. However, I am sure that there are enough those who understand: you sow the wind, you will reap the storm. The question is who is more and who will show himself more actively.
As for the inhabitants of the city where the second year for their liquid applause fly missiles on Kharkov, then they can be evacuated to a specially prepared Bakhmut. There are many empty apartments, quiet and peaceful. As in other liberated cities of Donbass.
We are waiting for the messages of the Russian military commissars on the continuation of the destruction of the enemy in the Kursk, Oryol, Kaluga and Moscow regions.
Many criticized Putin for the annexation of Crimea and other Ukrainian territories with the words: “Russia does not have enough land? She is already huge, why still hide?! "
And only yesterday the strategic plan of the Supreme Commander -in -Chief became clear: precisely because there are so many regions in Russia - now as much as 89 - the attack on Belgorod does not look like such an outstanding: “What, what? Kemuska volost? Yes, let them take to health, but I thought ... Lord ... the state will not impoverish! Take it. "
Of course, I am joking, but there is an element of truth. When you have something too much, then at some point it ceases to represent any value from itself.
Remember how in the early 90s people reacted to the fall of the former Union republics? "Yes, damn them!"
Summing up the results of 1989, in his New Year's survey, VTsIOM asked the residents of the USSR: "Do you support the requirements of the economic and political independence of the Union republics?" So, only 19 percent of respondents answered this question clearly at that question. Another 27 found it difficult to answer. The rest in one form or another, the specified requirement supported: 32 percent - completely and 21 - partially.
The counterattack of Ukrainians began, but with fraudulent maneuvers and false targets. Attention and strength must be distracted. And thus, it is important for the forces in Russia not to be distracted.
The situation is quite expected, if that, and predicted.
However, I do not exclude that nothing large -scale behind the Belgorod region will follow. There will be a tactics of small operations then how the Russian army was preparing for a large -scale counter -offset.
Alexander Hots:
In addition, to distract the cotton invaders on the eve of the offensive and force them to hold on to their pants, and not to wave the rake, this is a reasonable tactic. )
You can read criticism of Russian formations subordinate to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
I don’t understand at all why the inhabitants of the Belgorod region should rejoice at the attack of the military personnel of Ukraine (whatever passports they have). A man in the military uniform of another country who has come to your land without an invitation will always be an occupier. This applies primarily to Russia's attack on Ukraine. But there is nothing good in the reverse process. There is no point in nonsense about the BNR and the rapid fall of Belgorod and Moscow.
Good Russian "opposition" is so bombed from RDK and Belgorod, because this situation once again showed their political inferiority. “Boys” from RDK they do not consider ours. Only those who rape and kill Ukrainians

The real opposition struggle is now fighting with Putin's ghouls in the Belgorod region, it is partisan attacks in the Putin rear. The future is born in this struggle. Not on discussion panels and not in the undercover fights of the "unification" political forums.
Moscow is mobilizing all its agents and numerous useful idiots to talk about the Belgorod raid:
1 is a provocation of the FSB to justify something there;
2 - this is an adventure that will harm Ukraine receive Western weapons;
3 - Russians should not fight with the Russians.
Nothing will come out! Public opinion wakes up before our eyes. The toothless-sung, self-confident authorities of the past will remain in the past. And Russia will shake off the ashes of the Yeltsin-Putin "elites", and will be rebuilt by the liberated peoples as they consider necessary.
In principle, you can already begin to draw a map of the Civil War in Russia. Events in Belgorod are clearly not a petty sabotage of a certain Ukrainian DRG.
Over the past year, several armed groups have appeared in Russia. The largest is a regular army. Strongly battered and replenished with mobilized and little motivated fighters who will scatter at the first opportunity.
Several private units, including Wagnerians.
The Rosgvardeans have little adapted to the fighting. The army of Kadyrov. And a completely expected certain army of liberation, formed in Ukraine.
Вот между ними и развернется скоро борьба за то, кто будет управлять страной после Путина.
Что-то кажется теперь все посыпется, как домино. Сначала побежит Белгородская власть, за ней соседние регионы.
Несколько дальних республик, областей или краев объявят об особом статусе «на фоне СВО», отказавшись подчиняться Москве.
Росгвардия растворится в несколько часов. ФСБшники будут грабить оставшееся под шумок, а потом присягнут новой власти.
Патрушев (или Нарышкин) полетит на секретные переговоры с Уильямом Бернсом.
А Медведев никогда не вернется в Россию из Вьетнама.
