Ukraine’s Destruction in Donbass

For three days I was escorted by
Ghost Battalion (Prezrak) around Donetsk, Lugansk and towns and areas
hit by Kyiv’s war in Donbass. The Novo Russia Army’s Ghost Battalion
gave me unparalleled access to everything I wanted to see. While
there are understandable limits because of security issues which
included my own, how often do you get to meet with and ask questions
directly to the military leaders running a war? Why would they give
me this much access?

After the Minsk agreement went into
effect nationalist Kyiv forces wasted no time rearming and staging
heavy weapons including tanks and artillery pieces by the hundreds in
strategic locations they were supposed to have left. While sending a
group of soldiers off to the ATO (civil war) Cabinet Minister
Farion stated bluntly that Ukraine exists for the sole purpose of
destroying Russia. We will start with the Russians in Donbass and
finish when we destroy Moscow. Ukraine must be the tip of the spear
starting WW3!

Even now trainloads of war machines
and soldiers are moving into the area around Donetsk, near Lugansk,
and Mariupol. According to the best intelligence on the ground
Poroshenko is about to break the cease in hostilities on a large
scale once again.

In reality Kyiv has not stopped
attacking. Ukraine’s forces have kept up the onslaught against the
Novo Russia army. News about cleansing operations in towns under
Ukrainian control is reported by survivors that escape. A few days
ago Kyiv again shelled Donetsk with phosphorus burning a section of
the city.

Prezrak- the Ghost Warriors
of Donetsk and Lugansk

They were named Prezrak (Ghost) by
the Ukrainian army for their ability to seemingly come out of thin
air, decimate entire battalions, and then vanish. Ghost (Prezrak) and
the Kozaki (Cossacks) are the battalions that Ukrainian propagandists
and apologists want you to believe are Russian Special Forces, tanks,
and artillery divisions invading Ukraine.

Prezrak is comprised of infantry,
tank, and artillery battalions. Most of its members are local
citizens that joined after Kyiv attacked Donbass. A small number
including the commander Alexi Mozgovoy were military men. Before the
war he was a recruiter for the Ukrainian army in Donbass.

According to the former commander
at Slavyansk Igor Strelkov
– Artillery strikes
against the militias, residential areas, and industry is intensifying
as Ukraine is making massive preparations for an attack.

Ukraine is still using heavy
multiple rocket launchers, artillery, and tactical missiles including
the Tochka-U specifically on civilian populations. Civilian victims
are paying a higher price in casualties during the peace than during
the hot war. Two strike forces are set within an offensive perimeter
to the north-west and south-west of Donetsk.

A third concentration is at
Debalsevo which can strike deep through the least covered areas of
the Novo Russia army. This large concentration of forces will go to
take the border areas cutting off supplies to both Donetsk and
Lugansk.

With all the data considered
Commander Strelkov concludes that if Ukraine throws all their forces
into battle simultaneously, the numerically small, and poorly armed
militia will be quickly defeated without direct Russian intervention.

Novo Russia (Donetsk and
Lugansk Republics) will cease to exist and soon after that, all its
people too.

How it started

The
day before all this came about we (my wife and I) were offered a ride
into the city on the local militia’s bus. The bus takes the men to
the checkpoints and back home again. We listened to their stories. All
were local, small town people- farmers and coal miners. As we pulled
up to one man’s house he remarked- “L ook! My sheep are coming out to meet me.”
I asked if I could include this in an article I was working on and he
laughed. None of them were home very much and without any type of
pay, all their families suffer. Their farms are neglected and their
own harvests are meager. They were too busy defending the region to tend
to their own families needs.
