During all of this – the retreating Russian Military did manage to blow-up a major bridge – so worried were they of these ‘Ukrainian’ Forces capitalising on their success and following in the wake of the Russian retreat – purposely pushing further into Donbass (which the enemy never seemed to have attempted). This might be because this was a ‘test’ of new Ukrainian military tactics with different parameters of discipline. In other words, the enemy Commanders were ‘unsure’ whether any of this new approach would work, and they were only attempting highly ‘local’ achievements. The fact that this attack did work – and to such a high and total degree – is evident from the surprise shown by the Russians and the fact that no follow-up attack pushed into Donbass – as such a concerted Ukrainian attack could have started a theatre-wide ‘route’ of Russian Forces Eastward! Interesting developments. Is if this is a new era or a flash in the pan?
I do not (and never have) supported modern Russian ‘nationalism’ – which contains disturbing elements of bourgeois racism and homophobia, much of it encouraged by the Orthodox Church. It is the same thinking that has Orthodox Icons placed in tanks as they are constructed in the factories – as if these religious objects possess a similar (or greater) power than the anti-missile technology that is also installed – the design of the tanks and technology being ‘Soviet’ in origin and quite often logical developments of this technology brought into the modern day.
The fact that military equipment, Ukrainian radicals, as well as Islamist militants from Turkey and ISIS are being drawn to this region was reported by the ex-People’s Deputy from the Kherson region – Oleksiy Zhuravko, the Crimean media and activists and residents of the Kherson region. According to reports, Islamic terrorists are coming to the aid of the Crimean Tatar outcasts, who plan to create a “Tatar Republic” in the Kherson region and carry out military provocations against the Crimean Peninsula.
They told us that it was religiously-based (Christian) and had a number of high-profile Ukrainian sports-people supporting it! Everything ‘Soviet’ and ‘Communist’ was banned and, they said, the streets were now patrolled by armed ‘guards’ wearing Nazi German ‘Swastika’!
