Documentare despre Donbas (și nu numai)


Prezintă „istoria” conflictului din Donbas într-o manieră neobișnuită nouă, românilor, care am preluat (majoritatea dintre noi – inclusiv eu, până la un moment dat) informații doar din presa mainstream. Presă care, conștient sau nu, urma liniile unei anumite narative. Nici atunci (2014; 2014-2022) și nici acum, adevărul nu a interesat decât pe foarte puțini. Aveți mai jos două exemple de gândire în afara grilei oficiale de percepere și interpretare a evenimentelor, de la Euro-maidan la războiul din Donbas.

Războiul din Ucraina – faza pe numere


Ucraina nu are nici soldații nici armamentul necesar pentru a echilibra situația pe front; chiar dacă din punct de vedere al armamentului situația s-a ameliorat din unele puncte de vedere, Ucraina nu are rezervele umane necesare pentru a intreprinde vreo ofensivă de oareșice proporții pe frontul de sud (Kherson) și nici măcar de a opri ofensiva rusă pe frontul de est (Donetsk, posibil Harkov)

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).

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.
