War in the Ukraine
by Alexander Mercouris
Russia Insider has published my latest piece on the course of the Ukrainian war. It is a more refined and thought through version of the piece I previously wrote on this Page.

1. My key point is that it is not minor tactical movements that are determining the course of this war. It is the level of casualties the Ukrainian military is suffering. They were hammered in the summer and they are being hammered again now.

16.01.2015 Ukrainian crisis news. Epic Urkainian victories, War in Ukraine
The Ukrainian media report that a whole bunch of Kadyrov's men have been captured in the Donetsk airport (soldiers of Ramzan Kadyrov's Guards). Also, more than 250 Russian soldiers have been killed in the fighting. However, there's nether a video record nor at least a photo of this epic Ukrainian victory. In this connection we have a little appeal to the soldiers of the Ukrainian army (we hope the agents of the SBU, Ukrainian Security Service, who keep tabs on our page, will relay this message to their armed forces).
Despicable and disrespected Ukrainian pseudo-army! We know we can not
teach you not to conduct mass shellings of residential districts,
heinous tortures of POWs and robberies of civilians. This is why we're
not going to ask for much. We'll ask you for just a little bit. If you
have:
- captured Kadyrov's personal Guards, including his pet tiger
- completely wiped out all divisions of the Altai Armoured Police Force
- thrashed 400 GRU spetsnaz soldiers in exoskeletons with cloaking devices and jetpacks
- burned 58 latest Russian "Armata" robotanks
- and also in the meantime sank 2 strategic nuclear submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet...
... you just pull out your mobile phone and record a video with your great heroic deed. After this your Epic Ukrainian Win is duly registered and confirmed. No video - no "epic victory". If your commanders forbid you to carry mobile phones, buy cheap cameras with without mobile connection option or ask the USA to send them in another aid package for the "young Ukrainian democracy".
Epic Ukrainian Wins can not be confirmed without videos (because you've already learned to doctor pictures in Photoshop). Moreover, Russians and other European nations are so mean and cynical that they consider Epic Ukrainian Wins plain lies.
Besides, it would be just great if you stopped bombing residential blocks, torturing prisoners and robbing civilians. But you can start by making little step by little step. Like taking duckface selfies against the background of burning "Armata" tanks with spetsnaz from Chukotka inside. Any schoolgirl can do this here. You aren't more stupid than a schoolgirl, are you? Well, not so sure about it...
Here's a very clear illustration of this: a burnt down column of the latest Russian armour in Gorlovka. Immediately after the hits of Ukrainian shells Russian transformer tanks change their shape into a convenience store building, disguising themselves better than Megatron ever could.

The US cannot start a major war in Ukraine
Translated by Val from Osa

How long the West is willing to pay for the crumbling economy of Ukraine without guarantees of the beginning of its war with Russia? The Western strategy rule says: lost control over the territory - create the Antithesis.
It is possible to understand what is happening in Ukraine, it is much more difficult to evaluate and forecast the development of events. Whatever the case, it is necessary to consistently follow one rule: set emotions aside. Blood, death and destruction are the most serious emotional blows, but if you follow your emotions, neither proper assessment nor correct forecast will result.
