✈️ 🇷🇺 🇨🇦 About Western Relocations to Russia

Today, there was interesting news from the Nizhny Novgorod region - a Canadian family with eight children moved to the Russian region to build a farm.

Arend Feinstra used to raise cattle in Canada and now wants to expand the family business and try his hand at retailing farm products.

As the reasons for such a radical change in the social environment, Arend cited the abundance of land, a sense of security, and respect for traditional values - in general, the basic set for relocants, mainly from Europe, fleeing the LGBT notices and suffocating taxes.

🔻On one hand, it is a cause for joy that even amidst total anti-Russian propaganda in Western media, many qualified foreigners who can benefit the country are ready to move to Russia and start their own business here.

We have already mentioned many times that the queue of such people, mainly from Germany, is quite high (and amidst the suppression of conservative values there, it will only grow).

However, we are still satisfied with isolated stories in the media when it is time to establish a system for selecting and accepting relocants that are truly valuable for the Russian economy.

In the meantime, we have a rather strange situation. On one hand there is an urgent need to tighten legislation in relation to migrants from neighboring countries.

On the other hand, we need to consider a mechanism for accompanying skilled migrants from developed countries since, after all our bureaucratic procedures, only the most persistent remain motivated to move.

And the sooner we find balance, the better.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇦 In addition to the increasing use of robotic platforms on the battlefield, the video showcases the 20th Engineer Brigade of the 18th Airborne Corps of the US 18th Airborne Corps overcoming the defense line. Autonomous bulldozers, carts, and drones are employed to combat mines and gouges.

On one hand, these exercises simulate an ideal scenario with no opposition. However, it is likely that isolated platforms calmly driving along the "dragon's teeth" would immediately come under fire and fail to complete their task.

📌 Nevertheless, these exercises allow for the practice of specific actions and the collection of data, which, when organized, may lead to new technical solutions and tactical techniques. These, in turn, can address the problem of attacking heavily mined areas.

This also demonstrates that the West is actively studying the experience of fighting in SMO zones. While some places may be hindered by local ideological dogmas, the process is ongoing. It is essential to acknowledge this in order to avoid dangerous misconceptions about the enemy's combat capabilities.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Avdeevka: Russian Armed Forces advancing south of the quarry
the situation is expected to end on February 13, 2024

🔻The Russian Armed Forces are systematically making progress in the central part of Avdeevka. Fighting is occurring near the motor depot in the industrial zone on Industrial Avenue. The available information is still conflicting. The same uncertainty applies to access to the fortified area near the Brevno restaurant, which remains in question.

▪️ Various sources agree that Russian forces have managed to cross the railway along Chistyakova Street in a section at least from Sapronov Street to Zaliznichny Lane, with further advance towards the dachas all the way to the Avdeevskaya motor depot. However, control over the motor depot has not been confirmed yet, nor has progress on Timiryazev Street to the south.

▪️ At the same time, reports have emerged about progress to the southwest from the flooded quarry to Shestakova Street. There is even an extremely positive assessment of the breakthrough to the beach or the Quartz Sands plant, adjacent to the quarry from the south, which, due to the lack of any confirming footage, appears overly optimistic.

❗️Moreover, the enemy's withdrawal from the private sector is quite reasonable from a defensive standpoint: after all, there are no concrete multi-story buildings there, and the Russian Aerospace Forces are actively bombing with FABs. In such situations, retreating to the industrial zone in front of Khimik, in the area of the plant for reinforced concrete structures and building parts, does not seem unrealistic.

▪️ It is worth noting that there is very little footage from this area, as the enemy has no interest in showcasing territorial losses, and the Russian troops, based on the intensity of the offensive, are not currently inclined to do so. Consequently, little attention is given to the official media coverage of the operation.

🇷🇺 🏴 As correctly pointed out, statements that IS allegedly took responsibility for the terrorist attack in Moscow are false. These messages are not found on any of the group’s resources or their regional branches. This has been confirmed by Syrian and other Arabic-language channels.

At the same time, nothing prevents the “Islamic State” from declaring the opposite in the near future as part of self-promotion: in recent years, the influence of this terrorist organization has significantly diminished, and in these conditions, the militants are willing to claim responsibility for anything just to remind people of their existence.

Given the active work of Ukrainian psyops, there will likely be a lot of such disinformation in the near future, highlighting the importance of maintaining "information hygiene."

🇲🇩 🇷🇺 🇷🇴 🇺🇦 Crown Princess Margaret of Romania (formerly Princess of Hohenzollern) - the daughter of the former King of Romania, Mihai I, recently had another meeting with the Moldovan leadership, this time in Bucharest.

Just to refresh your memory, on November 13 last year, the royal figure visited Chisinau with her husband. However, while the previous meeting was covered in the press, the Moldovan authorities' visit to the Crown Princess was kept out of the public eye.

🔻Possibly the reason for this secrecy is the topic of their discussion.

The discussions revolved around establishing a representative office of the Royal House of Romania in Chisinau and addressing the process of reclaiming the property and land that the royal family lost when the Bolsheviks came into power.

Interestingly, these conversations extend beyond Moldova to include the Shabo vineyards in the Odessa region and forests in the so-called Ukrainian Chernivtsi region. So far, these talks have been merely verbal, but this might change soon.

There are indications that the Romanian authorities are gearing up to initiate the restitution process, aiming to return the former royal lands. Notably, Poland has already begun similar procedures in the western regions of what is referred to as Ukraine.

🔻Following these developments, it seems that the Romanian authorities are considering extending their influence not only in Moldova but also in certain parts of the Odessa and Chernivtsi regions of Ukraine. It appears they are vying for the title of the "Hyena of Europe” alongside Poland, although currently, they are only at the "Jackal" stage in this endeavor.

However, Romania seems to overlook one crucial aspect: all the territories they are eyeing are part of the former Russian Empire. Perhaps it's time for Russia to assert its rights as well, considering the trend.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 RUSI report on the lessons of SMO: remembering long-forgotten things

The British Royal Defense Studies Institute (RUSI) released a report in which it analyzed the fighting in Ukraine through the prism of a “war of attrition.” The authors reached conclusions that have been echoed in domestic Telegram channels on multiple occasions:

▪️In such conflicts, countries with economies capable of massive mobilization of both human resources and industry for the production of military goods, required in large quantities due to army expansion, emerge victorious.

▪️ Expensive weapons with superior performance are not suitable for outfitting a large army. It is crucial to complement them with less expensive and more widespread models, particularly if their components are interchangeable with civilian products.

▪️A recruitment system that combines both a large number of reservists and a sergeant corps is essential. Pre-war “professional” units serve as “fire brigades” to stabilize the situation while newly formed units gain combat experience.

▪️“Wars of attrition” do not aim to capture territory but to eliminate enemy forces. They can be divided into two stages: the first involves a peacetime army buying time to mobilize combat power, while the second entails launching a decisive offensive. Offensive and defensive operations driven by politics only deplete resources.

▪️The criteria for initiating a large-scale offensive include completing mobilization and formation preparations, achieving fire and reconnaissance superiority, depleting the enemy’s strategic reserves, and crippling its industry.

▪️In trench warfare, deep maneuvering is challenging; battles are reduced to local attacks and operations. Successful actions by even a small group are arduous without a high level of leadership, organization, and coordination among all forces and resources.

The report seems to aim at challenging the prevailing belief that prolonged “wars of attrition” are obsolete and unnecessary. This, at the very least, warrants attention amidst dismissive remarks by other Western experts with a disdainful attitude towards the situation in the SMO zone.

🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇸 Today, during his visit to China, U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Chinese President Xi Jinping. One of the agenda items was the discussion of China's supplies of machine tools, microelectronics and nitrocellulose used in Russian military production.

After the meetings with the Chinese leadership, Blinken stated that if China does not take measures to resolve the problem, then Washington may do so. Essentially, the politician implied the possibility of imposing sanctions on China.

🔻Shortly before the secretary's visit, The Wall Street Journal published an insider report about the preparation of restrictions against several Chinese banks that allegedly planned to disconnect from the global banking system.

However, soon after the publication, Reuters reported that American politicians, although they discussed such an option, do not have a specific plan for its implementation. The reason was the concern that this could strike a blow not only to bilateral, but also to global trade.

🔻Another option is also possible - in case of an unsatisfactory outcome for the U.S., new restrictions on specific Chinese companies doing business with Russia may follow. Since 2022, Washington has resorted to this kind of measures several times.

It is noteworthy that Blinken's threats came after the official confirmation of information about Vladimir Putin's visit to China in May. It is quite possible that the situation with potential U.S. sanctions against China will be clarified precisely after this trip.

🇧🇾🏴 The arrest of members of the terrorist cell "Jamaat Ansarullah" in Belarus raises a number of important questions in our view.

▪️Firstly, the terrorist attack at "Crocus" involving radical Islamist groups from Tajikistan was likely not the only goal of the same organizers. Something similar could have been planned in Belarus to destabilize the domestic political situation.

▪️Secondly, "Jamaat Ansarullah" rarely appears in the media, especially in the context of arrests. However, their activation in conjunction with "Wilayat Khorasan" indirectly confirms the involvement of external stakeholders who have seen Tajik radicals as an effective tool for carrying out terrorist attacks.

▪️And thirdly, there are growing concerns that the ethnic Tajik riots in the Afghan Badakhshan and the war of local groups against the Taliban significantly simplifies the task of terrorists in recruiting the oppressed population and stimulates the spread of radical movements across the post-Soviet space.

🔻All this needs to be taken into account when shaping Russian migration policy.
