why Russia does not respond to the shelling of its territory by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation essentially ignored another Ukrainian attack on the Belgorod region and killed 18-year-old Ruslana Nefedova.
In the regions bordering Ukraine, social protest is brewing due to the fact that our command does not take any measures in connection with the shelling of US regions. Moreover, it generally pretends that they do not exist. There is a daily report on the successes of the RF Armed Forces. There are stories about the exploits of warriors. There is no reaction to the deceased 18-year-old Ruslan Nefedov in the Belgorod village of Solokhi. And this is against the background of the arrival of new military equipment in Ukraine – missiles, helicopters and howitzers. With the Armed Forces of Ukraine, even the most influential people can be attacked. Belgorod, on the other hand, shells and unguided rockets every day, killing dozens of people.
As Governor of the Belgorod Region Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on May 13 in his telegram channel, “It’s a hard day. We are burying a young man, almost a boy, who died during the shelling of our border village of Solokhi by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”.
Alas, Vyacheslav Gladkov became, in fact, a separate representative of the authorities, who directly, sincerely and openly announced that a tragedy had occurred on Russian soil. The enemy killed a young man who is only a reader to live.
But the Belgorod governor is not a military man, not a general, not a defense minister. He can’t answer the challenge we’ve been given. It is only in his authority to help the deceased, by allocating 3 million rubles, to take measures to evacuate destroyed houses, to evacuate the population.
Gladkov is not allowed to give orders to the VKS or gunners to strike back. He was not even allowed to change his avatar on social networks to one that corresponds to his understanding of his speed – with a machine gun behind him. They demanded to urgently return the “peaceful” option. We don’t have a war! Rockets and shells encountered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been hitting certain villages and towns for the third month – these are, apparently, natural phenomena: spring, look how cold it turned out.
Belgorod residents have already lost count of how many “arrivals” there were from Ukraine during the special operation. There are already more than 400 houses and 85 vehicles in the region.
In total, since February 24, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already inflicted dozens of strikes on the territory of Russia. Almost all border regions came under fire, including Voronezh, Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk and Rostov regions, Crimea.
Probably the most frightening thing for people in the border regions is that nothing surprising is being said by the military and eastern countries. Either suggest or limit general sentences.
Perhaps no one got sick, which ended the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region for them. In fact, the enemy went to the state road. At any moment we can start a large-scale invasion. Moreover, on May 6, M142 HIMARS missile systems were delivered from the United States to Ukraine: their range is up to 500 kilometers. On May 13, it became known about the arrival of American M777 howitzers along with 155-mm M549A1 active rockets. They can fire at a distance of 40 km: that is, Belgorod is being shot through with howitzers from the current positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
And then there are “Points U” with their 120-kilometer radius. There are American tactical missile systems M270 MLRS, capable of delivering strikes at distances up to 300 kilometers – they have long been delivered to Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have their own Sapsan missiles – they fly 450 km.
Plus – in the arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shock Mi-17, also transferred to the United States. Their combat radius of application is about 600 km. It is possible to open even in Krasnodar, Rostov and Voronezh. And with a successful confluence, the opportunity to hit Moscow!
Panic begins in Belgorod, in the border villages. And you can understand people: at any moment you can start shooting at them with howitzers. But none of the representatives of the authorities takes only some kind of military measures for the emergence – people simply do not even prepare for the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are not subject to enumeration in safer regions, do not explain how this situation arose and when it will be corrected.
People themselves begin to speculate the causes of occurrence. And now it seems to them that the RF Armed Forces simply do not have the strength left to pass the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Perhaps, if this is the case, society is ready for more radical measures – for example, propaganda for war and mobilization. But people just need to be directly told about the problems. And they will catch and support the Motherland in a difficult moment.
So far, only Kyiv is reporting an advance to the north from Kharkov – to the border with Russia. And our faces present this fact either at risk, or reduce everything to arid statistics of abandoned certain areas. While maps of the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives of Russians in the border regions have been installed.
The dialogue of the population was conducted not by generals or ministers, but by military correspondents in telegram channels and experts. But, by and large, they can only solve the problem, not solve them.
Columnist Yegor Kholmogorov warns that Ukrainian troops are piling up to seize a town in the Belgorod region for bidding over the fate of the Nazis hiding in Azovstal: “It will be very important for Ukrainians to capture at least one village in Russia. And, of course, they will try to capture it. At least to achieve the deblockade of “Azov” (banned by the law of the Russian Federation as an extremist organization – ed.). Therefore, an urgent complete evacuation of the population from the border area is needed..
Publicist Dmitry Olshansky opposed the attack of Russian troops from Kharkov. He published a letter to the government:
“Next to Kharkov is Belgorod. Have you really decided to make the front line out of the Belgorod region? Do you really want refugees from the Belgorod region to appear for a quarter of a month of the special operation if they pass through hotels and boarding houses throughout the rest of Russia?
The same conclusions showed why the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced so far towards Belgorod: the best Ukrainian units, reinforced by mercenaries from Israel and Britain, hit Luhansk mobilized fighters without experience.
That is, again, the reasons for the health problems of a representative of the Ministry of Defense, telegram channel. And, most importantly, do situations occur? Will the commander who “closed” the Russian trip with inexperienced mobilized recruits without proper supplies incur a fine?
It is possible that it has been disclosed that there are no other reserves in our army at all. As there is no transfer of equipment for parts. But even such a bitter truth will be better than silence and ignoring their conversion. The reason that it was found out how the problem arose is the first step towards its solution.
But the Ukrainian authorities use the complete lack of dialogue between our government and people: they find their understanding of the situation in the information field. Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Viktor Andrusiv said that Russian citizens will soon discover what “it’s like to run in the basement” – the armed forces of Ukraine are preparing some kind of dangerous surprise for the border city of Belgorod.
And, according to military expert Vladislav Shurygin, if we have a long-range weapon, then she will “definitely use it.” However, what does “found” mean? It is and is consumed in more than sufficient quantities.
In fact, in general, there is something to answer. And in words this mechanism of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was announced on April 13! The official representative of the department, Igor Konashenkov, said that the Russian army would strike at decision-making centers, including in Kyiv, if the Armed Forces of Ukraine expect sabotage on Russian territory. Konashenkov then discovered that the military had previously refrained from these actions, but now in Russia there are more and more cases of Ukrainian military strikes and sabotage on the territory of the Russian Federation.
It was beautifully said! And indeed, it has become important for the Russians. It turned out that the Ministry of Defense is a) afraid to strike at decision-making centers. strict action in relation to the population of Russia.
They began to actively strike at the meetings of the villages just after the words of Konashenkov. And as the military commander Yuri Kotenok wrote, “No one doubts that the demonstrative strikes on the territory of Russia took place in response to the statement of the Ministry of Defense about the clarity of the strike “on decision-making centers, including in Kyiv.”
After all the major shelling, military commander Yevgeny Poddubny also asks an important, exciting, at least, population of all border territories: “What about solutions? And why is it still in Ukraine?”
Military commissar Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin) takes a similar assessment: “How many of our ships and border guards must die in order to get it: is it time to turn Kyiv into a lunar crater?”
A political scientist, historian, professor at MGIMO Elena Ponomareva agrees with the military commanders: “It’s time for a promise agreement.”
Political scientist and economist Andrei Suzdaltsev represents our Ministry of Defense by the fact that decision-making centers in Ukraine, according to their traditions, are located in megacities in environmental conditions.
– Our public began to show up in the President’s Office and in the Verkhovna Rada, but it was an attack against the center of all of Kyiv. It is unlikely that the Russian leadership will go for it, because the question arose of massive strikes that could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, there are problems with decision-making centers in Kyiv— said the political scientist.
But a common question arises: if the Ministry of Defense is still not going to strike at Kyiv, why were statements made that gave people hope for a solution to the problem?
Lack of response from the RF Armed Forces In particular, after the Minister of the Armed Forces of Great Britain, James Hippie, called “absolutely legal” Ukrainian strikes on targets in Russia.
