Războiul din Ucraina, faza pe atomocentrală
Agitând spectrul unui dezastru nuclear, atacând perimetrul atomocentralei dar blamând pentru aceasta Rusia, regimul de la Kiev poate spera într-o implicare mult mai accentuată a aliaților săi de facto, putând astfel să spere la satisfacerea unora dintre nevoile sale esențiale: câteva mii/zeci de mii de soldați NATO (eventual sub steag ONU, pentru a asigura securitatea zonei în care se află centrala nucleară); acoperire aeriană minim în zona Zaporizhzhia – Donetsk – Kherson, ceea ce ar permite desfășurarea unei ofensive limitate în aceste zone sau chiar mai mult; o creștere cantitativă cuplată cu o diversificare a tipurilor de armament primite (inclusiv aviație și artilerie la mare distanță).
Eu și războiul din Ucraina (2)
Am fost întrebat de ce în materialele cuprinse generic sub numele „Războiul din Ucraina. Update” scriu aproape exclusiv despre acțiunile militare ale rușilor. Răspunsul scurt este ”pentru că din punct de vedere militar, doar acțiunile rușilor contează în acest moment.”
Avem nevoie de statui!
Dar putem să le ridicăm statui? Pe care să le scuipăm cu sete, amintind în gând și de ceva strămoși și obiecte bisericești? Poate că, așa, încetul cu încetul, pas cu pas, vom înceta ca popor să avem memoria socială scurtă…
De ce Zelensky ar fi dorit războiul?
Afirmam într-un articol de ieri (aici) că nu numai Putin dorea conflictul cu Ucraina, ci și Zelensky dorea, poate cu aceeași ardoare, un conflict deschis cu Rusia. De aceea a făcut cam totul (nici nu era greu, admit acest lucru) ca Putin să atace. Mai jos argumentarea mea privitor la această ipoteză, argumentare posttă în […]
Eu și războiul din Ucraina
În primul rînd de ce ”războiul din Ucraina” și nu ”războiul ruso-ucrainean” (sau altă variantă asemănătoare?) Pentru că eu personal consider că războiul nu se duce între Rusia (puneți ce epitete doriți înainte sau după numele statului agresor) și Ucraina (puneți ce epitete doriți înainte sau după numele statului agresor) ci între Rusia și SUA […]

George Damian (FB): Lipsa de coerență
Problema este în lipsa de coerență: pe de o parte Kievul a ales să ducă luptele în mediul urban (o decizie corectă din punctul de vedere al eficienței), pe de altă parte tot Kievul reclamă atacarea țintelor civile. Raportul Amnesty International deranjează tocmai pentru că scoate la iveală această ipocrizie.

Ana Iordănescu (Teze și sinteze): Z cel mult iubit*
v-a lăsat impresia unui Zelensky inofensiv și bonom. Nu este. A „reușit” pierderea unei suprafețe importante din Ucraina și, cel mai probabil, sub conducerea sa, Ucraina va înceta să funcționeze în interiorul granițelelor recunoscute la 24 februarie ,distrugerea a 80% din totalul forțelor militare profesioniste, anihilarea completă a opoziției și confiscarea sediilor acestor partide. Paranteză:pentru naivi, interzicerea oricărei vieți democratice în Ucraina, chiar și mimată,a început în iunie 2021, drept urmare nu are legătură cu războiul

D. Davis: How The Ukraine War Could End: Stalemate Or Russia Captures Kharkiv And Odessa
If scenario two plays out, however, Zelensky’s position will be markedly worse. He will have lost nearly half his country and an irreplaceable majority of his trained and experienced troops. It is possible to mobilize many hundreds of thousands of new troops, but years of experience and training can’t be replicated; it has to be built, and that will take years. The Ukrainian government would be faced with the ugly choice of either trying to continue the fight into 2023 – with the prospect it would continue losing even more territory and men – or seeking a negotiated settlement from a position of weakness.
D. Davis: The Dark Scenario: Ukraine’s Military Can’t Beat Russia And Collapses
An unemotional assessment of this war would lead to the conclusion that the Ukrainian political leadership should seek the best-negotiated settlement it could get now, while it still has complete control of Kharkiv, Odesa, and most of Donetsk Oblast – and before another significant city is turned to rubble and tens of thousands more of its citizens killed or wounded. But war is not an unemotional endeavor, and Zelensky has to make choices that are anguishing and very much filled with emotion.

Reuters: Ukraine, Russia set to sign deal
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said the European Union had proposed relaxing some earlier sanctions to shore up global food security.

Diplomats said last week details of the plan included Ukrainian vessels guiding grain ships through mined port waters, with Turkey […]
Ucraina – poligon de încercare?
O foarte interesantă discuție relatată de către activenews. Deci ministrul apărării ucrainean propune ca Ucraina să devină poligon de încercare pentru armamentul de ultimă generație a NATO. Eu aș avea două chestii de remarcat: din cauza binecunoscutei corupții ucrainene (sau, pur și simplu, în decursul operațiunilor militare) acest armament ultrasofisticat riscă să ajungă pe mâinile […]
Război în Ucraina. Update 21 Iulie
