Silicon Bites Ep374 | 2026-07-25 | THE MOBILISATION TRAP: Russia under Putin has become a cage. Sure, the door is half open at present but could slam shut at any moment. At a moment of Putin's choosing. Putin has built the cage the trap Russians for the slaughter — but it still won't save him.In the space of an intense four days, and over the preceding months, the Russian state has quietly assembled every component of a mass call-up — the laws, the registries, the internal-security powers, the exit controls — without saying the word "mobilisation" out loud once. The decision has been made in all but name. And here is the thing the Kremlin will not tell the men it is about to feed into the zero line, the meat grinder: this mobilisation is engineered to fail. It will be the largest deliberate transfer of Russian men into a drone-saturated kill zone in the history of this war. Putin has no choice. And no chance of success, if this is his delusion.----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Greetings, comrades! The "Voice of the Eastern Border" has temporarily fallen victim to a biological attack (the flu), so today, Evita is taking over the microphone to translate Kristaps's angry, feverish gesturing into a brand new episode.While the Russian propaganda machine continues to broadcast imaginary victories, the reality on the ground - and in the supermarket - is telling a very different, much darker story.In this episode:
La guerra ibrida teorizzata da Gerasimov ormai 13 anni fa e messa in pratica da russi, cinesi e autocrazie assortite fa ha agito come una cancrena sulle democrazie e sulle società aperte. https://studi-internazionali.org/guerra-ibrida-gerasimov-disinformazione/Milioni di semianalfabeti, individui frustrati, falliti di ogni risma sono stati abbindolati con farneticazioni su complotti immaginari, con studi scientifici farlocchi, con virulente accuse agli ebrei, con esegesi di autocrati sanguinari e altre mille tecniche di manipolazione delle menti labili. I risultati, a partire dal successo del Vaffa Day, fino all'elezione di Trump, passando per la Brexit sono stati devastanti. Ciononostante i governi europei in carica minimizzano o addirittura ignorano il problema, rifiutando di prendere provvedimenti drastici. Ne parliamo con Alan Panassiti che studia da anni queste operazioni di guerra ibrida e il loro impatto sulle opinioni pubbliche occidentali.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inglorious-globastards-podcast--4600745/support.
Episode Topic: New Light on Old StarsThe chemical diversity of the universe that makes our own existence possible is owed to multiple generations of stars that converted the primordial soup of hydrogen and helium into the periodic table we know today. To understand this process, Roman Gerasimov looks for the oldest objects in our galaxy that formed shortly after the beginning of time and preserve the fossilized record of the early universe in their chemical composition. The new generation of observatories, including the James Webb Space Telescope, now provide a deeper look into our cosmic history than ever before. Gerasimov invites you to join him in his search for the oldest stars in the least explored corners of our galaxy, and the chemical secrets they contain within.Featured Speakers:Roman Gerasimov, University of Notre Dame Read this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: https://go.nd.edu/bb60e9.This podcast is a part of the ThinkND Series titled Our Universe Revealed.Thanks for listening!

Droner, online misinformation og frygt i gaderne. Ifølge den russiske general Gerasimov er det netop sådan, man udvisker grænsen mellem krig og fred.

Edition No237 | 31-08-2025 - Russia's Gerasimov confirms what was already obvious to many of us. It's addiction to war, refusal to relent, relentless attacks, hollow declarations and mocking strikes on Western assets in Ukraine. Even amid diplomatic overtures, Russia vows to continue the war and embrace the imperial genocide it started almost four years ago. Unfortunately, also on full display are American appeasement of Putin, political inertia, and Western hesitation. In a statement. Gerasimov emphasised the continuation of the Special Military Operation, and went on to make statements, claim battlefield advances, that have even elicited snorts of derision from Z-Patriots. It seems that lies so large and ludicrous push to the limit even their willingness to spread nonsense for the Putin regime. Russia is carving a path of destruction that refuses to stop—how words from Moscow are hollow compared to the thunder of missiles, and how Western dithering is empowering that aggression. Putin has never shown signs of stopping. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.rferl.org/a/zelenskyy-putin-trump-ukraine-russia-gerasimov/33517370.htmlhttps://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/08/30/7528585/https://united24media.com/latest-news/russia-will-continue-strikes-against-ukraine-says-russian-top-general-11229https://united24media.com/latest-news/massive-overnight-russian-missile-and-drone-attack-hits-ukraine-casualties-reported-in-zaporizhzhia-11222 ----------

Half million Palestinians at 'worst hunger level' due to Israel's Gaza war https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/half-million-palestinians-at-worst-hunger-level-due-to-israels-gaza-war-18176796 Almost half a million people are experiencing "catastrophic" hunger in Gaza, according to a United Nations-backed assessment. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, partnership said that around 495,000 people — around 22 percent of the Gaza population — are still facing "catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity". This is also known as IPC Phase 5: the worst hunger rating. *) Every day, 10 Gaza children lose one or both legs due to Israel's war — UN https://trtworld.com/middle-east/every-day-10-gaza-children-lose-one-or-both-legs-due-to-israels-war-un-18176961 Ten children per day are losing one or both of their legs in Israel's genocidal war in besieged Gaza, the head of the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees said. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini cited figures from the UN children's agency UNICEF and said amputations often take place in "horrible conditions", without anaesthesia. He said that figure "does not even include arms and hands,” of which there are many more cases. *) Australia awaits Assange's arrival after US guilty plea https://trtworld.com/australia/australia-awaits-assanges-arrival-after-us-guilty-plea-18176954 WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has walked free from a court on the US Pacific island territory of Saipan in a deal that allowed him to head straight home to Australia. During the three-hour hearing, Assange pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents. He said he had believed the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech, shielded his activities. *) ICC issues arrest warrants for Russian military chief, ex-defence minister https://www.trtworld.com/europe/icc-issues-arrest-warrants-for-russian-military-chief-ex-defence-minister-18176787 The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for former Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu and General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov. The ICC said the decision was made after an investigation into alleged international crimes committed in Ukraine between October 2022 and March 2023. Shoygu and Gerasimov are accused of ordering attacks on civilian infrastructure, as well as committing crimes against humanity of inhumane acts. And finally… *) Trump leads in voter confidence on economy, Biden preferred for democracy https://trtworld.com/us-and-canada/trump-leads-in-voter-confidence-on-economy-biden-preferred-for-democracy-18176973 US voters see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as the better candidate for the economy, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll has found. The same vote on Tuesday showed that US President Joe Biden scored better with his approach on preserving democracy. The poll shows that less than five months before the November election, the electorate is divided on the candidates' approach to issues that respondents view as the country's top problems.

Russia's actions in and around Ukraine in 2014, as well as its activities in Syria and further afield, sparked renewed debate about the character of war and armed conflict, and whether it was undergoing a fundamental shift. One of the enduring features of conflict over the centuries has been its state of flux. This perpetual state of evolution requires states to regularly monitor how military force is being wielded, either by allies or adversaries, in order to be able to plan and prepare for future war. Tracey German's Russia and the Changing Character of Conflict (Cambria Press, 2023) explores Russian views of the changing character of conflict and the debates that have emerged about how future wars might evolve. Since 2014 there has been wide-ranging discussion about Russia's "new way of war", with labels such as hybrid warfare, grey-zone operations and the Gerasimov doctrine dominating Western analyses. However, there has been scant analysis of Russian perspectives on the changing character of conflict and what future wars may look like: Western attempts to understand how and why Russia uses force have tended to rely upon mirror-imaging and an expectation of similar strategic behaviors. There is a paucity of literature examining Russian views of conflict and war, particularly literature based on Russian-language sources. Using a range of Russian sources, this book helps us develop a greater understanding of Russian military thought, the range of perspectives a peer competitor holds and the particular analytical processes that take place, rather than mirror-imaging. It sets out the trends and debates in Russian military thought, tracing the evolution of this thinking in open-source material, particularly military journals, formal policy documents and speeches, and outlines the implications of Russian conclusions regarding the characteristics of contemporary and future conflict. The experiences of individual states foster different visions of future conflict and how states envisage military force being used, either by themselves or potential adversaries. It is vital to understand the process of observation and assessment that other states are engaged in. Tracey German is a Professor of Conflict and Security in the Defence Studies Department at King's College London. Her research focuses on Russian foreign and security policies, particularly Russia's use of force, and how its neighbors have responded, as well as Russian strategic culture and military thought. She speaks Russian and has traveled extensively across the post-Soviet area. Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar whose research areas are related to Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, military history, War studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, as well as Russian and East European history.

Russia's actions in and around Ukraine in 2014, as well as its activities in Syria and further afield, sparked renewed debate about the character of war and armed conflict, and whether it was undergoing a fundamental shift. One of the enduring features of conflict over the centuries has been its state of flux. This perpetual state of evolution requires states to regularly monitor how military force is being wielded, either by allies or adversaries, in order to be able to plan and prepare for future war. Tracey German's Russia and the Changing Character of Conflict (Cambria Press, 2023) explores Russian views of the changing character of conflict and the debates that have emerged about how future wars might evolve. Since 2014 there has been wide-ranging discussion about Russia's "new way of war", with labels such as hybrid warfare, grey-zone operations and the Gerasimov doctrine dominating Western analyses. However, there has been scant analysis of Russian perspectives on the changing character of conflict and what future wars may look like: Western attempts to understand how and why Russia uses force have tended to rely upon mirror-imaging and an expectation of similar strategic behaviors. There is a paucity of literature examining Russian views of conflict and war, particularly literature based on Russian-language sources.

Putins överbefälhavare tycks försvunnen medan Zelenskyj har planer på att sparka sin ÖB. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Två rykten har på senare tid vuxit sig allt starkare: att den ukrainske överbefälhavaren ska få sparken och att den ryske överbefälhavaren är död.I Ryssland sågs den ryska generalen Valeryj Gerasimov offentligt senast i slutet av december förra året. Sedan en rad ukrainska attacker mot ockuperade Krim i början av januari ryktas det att Gerasimov var där och att han dödats. Kreml har inte velat kommentera uppgifterna vilket har spätt på ryktena.I Ukraina säger presidenten att han vill skaka om i det politiska och militära toppskiktet. Hör om vad det kan det få för effekt för det ukrainska försvarsinsatsen mot invasionen om den omåttligt populära militärledaren tvingas bort.Hör Jakob Hedenskog, analytiker vid Centrum för Östeuropastudier.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit nonzero.substack.comSeems like only last week I was saying there wouldn't be a Nonzero Newsletter sent out today, owing to the end-of-summer quasi-vacation granted to hard-working NZN staffers. And it's true that the Earthling, the weekend edition of NZN, is skipping this week and next. However, yesterday I had a conversation that was so timely and interesting that I figured I'd share some transcript excerpts—below—with NZN subscribers.The conversation is with Nikita Petrov, who left Russia shortly after the invasion of Ukraine but is monitoring the Russian zeitgeist (and publishing his newsletter Psychopolitica) from Armenia. The subject of the conversation is Yevgeny Prigozhin, long-time leader of the mercenary Wagner Group.This June, you might remember, Prigozhin staged a short-lived mutiny against Russia's military leadership. So when his plane blew up a couple of days ago, pretty much everyone suspected Putin's handiwork. (Although, as Nikita explains, according to a conspiracy theory circulating in Russia, there's less to Prigozhin's apparent death than meets the eye.)Paid subscribers can listen to the full conversation via the audio player above or via their NZN member podcast feed. (To set up that feed, if you're a paid subscriber and haven't done that already, click “Listen on” in the audio player and follow the directions.) Hope you enjoy the excerpts below. More of the conversation will be available in the public podcast we post next week, though the Overtime segment—the final 40 minutes or so—will remain exclusive to paid subscribers.—BobBob: We're taping this on the day after a plane went down that apparently included Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, along with his top commander, the guy from whom the Wagner Group got its name—“Wagner” was his call sign. Nikita: Yep.Bob: And I actually haven't even looked at the news this morning, but it didn't seem to me there was that much doubt, even though they hadn't identified bodies or anything. I assume no one's doubting that he's— Nikita: Well, there are two main theories that I've been hearing. One is the straightforward one: Prigozhin and the top command are dead, and Putin is behind it. The other version is: This is Prigozhin's disappearance. He's somewhere on an island right now drinking a martini, and this is his way out of the business. Normally I would say there's no reason whatsoever to contemplate that approach. But since this is Prigozhin, and we've seen like six fake passports of his with toupees and beards and whatnot. And generally, he's, you know, a peculiar character, he's fighting in Africa, and then he's in Ukraine, and he also has a catering business, and a troll farm. I think that's not a zero-chance probability, but I don't think it's a high-chance probability either.Bob: On the other hand, Russia has always been a hotbed for this kind of theorizing, right? Nikita: Yes. Yes. It's a normal thing for Russians. Whatever happens, there's always a conspiracy theory right away.Bob: So there's a pretty high false positive rate on conspiracy theories in Russia—and increasingly in America. Maybe this can bring the two nations together, that we have this in common.Nikita: I think there is some overlap. I mean, before the war, there were tribes within Russia and the US who were growing closer together, like the QAnon people. And even with the war—Bob: That kind of makes sense actually. Go ahead.Nikita: I was surprised. About a month and a half ago, RFK [Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.] got into that scandal because he said something about Covid, and the way his words were interpreted was that there is a chance that it was designed by the Chinese in a lab and it targets certain groups more than others.Bob: Right. Nikita: And he started talking about bioweapons and whatnot. I think he talked about biolabs in Ukraine. Bob: Yeah. That's a thing. That's a talking point.Nikita: Until then, I was not aware that anybody in the West thinks that. But it was a big part of the Russian propaganda, some versions of which are very strange. On the one hand, according to Russian state propaganda, the Russians and Ukrainians are really the same people, but also, there are biolabs in Ukraine that were designing viruses that would target specifically Russians.Bob: It's a very discerning virus! It picks up on the most subtle differences in DNA. . . .Bob: But, on Prigozhin, tell me… presumably the [staged disappearance] theory is that he actually feared something like this happening for real, right? I mean, he didn't feel safe in this world. Nikita: Either that, or another version of the same theory would be that he made a deal with Putin, that this is how I'm gonna go out. Bob: Oh, and then you [Putin] will look like you were the tough guy and did crack down. Nikita: That's right. And I'll [Prigozhin] get my pension and I'm fine. Bob: I've got a feeling he doesn't need a pension. I forget how much cash was found in his apartment, but I suspect that he's got stashes in various places. Nikita: [laughter] That's right. Bob: So anyway, your sense is, not that you're in Russia, but your sense is that this will be a minority interpretation anyway, that he's not actually dead?Nikita: From what I've heard so far, most people say there's also this possibility, but it's probably a low possibility. So, I haven't met a true believer in this theory so far. I mean, it's been a day—it's been less than a day. But it's brought up and discussed as a low probability option. And we will never know, I suppose, because the bodies are burned. We're not going to see a picture of Prigozhin that we can recognize. And the people who will tell us (and they might have already; I saw some reports that sounded more official than what I saw last evening, saying yes, this is Prigozhin and Utkin and the other passengers who were supposed to be on the plane) the people who are going to tell us this are the authorities, which if they are the ones who decided to do this staged disappearance, you know, you're not supposed to trust them.Bob: Right. Nikita: But I don't think it matters, frankly. I think that's the low probability version, and I don't think it matters, because both options lead to Prigozhin not being here anymore. If he lives a private life on an island somewhere—Bob: He seems out of the picture. And everyone else will act on the assumption that Putin did it.Nikita: That's right. Bob: Is your sense that among those Russians who do believe Prigozhin's dead, overwhelmingly the assumption is Putin decided to take him out? Nikita: Yes. Yes. Bob: I can't even come up with another theory. Has it been confirmed that there was an anti-aircraft missile fired at the plane, or is that still—Nikita: No, I think they are saying now that there was an explosive in the chassis, the wheel of the plane. And they say they have a suspect, Prigozhin's private pilot, who was supposed to be on the flight maybe, or at least was able to access the plane. And he's MIA somewhere. Some friend of his said that he's trekking in Siberia, or something along those lines. So, they have a suspect and a theory. It doesn't go further than that guy so far, like, why would his pilot do this? But I think that might become the official narrative. This is what I'm seeing this morning.Bob: So is it confirmed that the pilot was not on the plane, the regular pilot? Nikita: I think. He was called Prigozhin's private pilot. I'm not sure he was supposed to be on this plane. He just flew with Prigozhin before, so they are singling him out as a suspect. Bob: I see. Do you think Putin would go to the trouble to frame somebody, and do the whole court proceeding, and put them in prison? I mean, it's weird, because presumably Putin wants a certain crowd to know he did it, including possibly much of the world, right? He wants some people to think, yeah, Putin cracked down, let's don't plot any mutinies anytime soon. I mean, that's the thing about this. It's so blatant, right? With most of the past assassinations attributed to Putin, there wasn't rock solid evidence. And in fact, I would run into smart people who paid attention, and I'd say, what do you think the chances are that this guy was taken out by Putin? They'd say, well, probably, or 90 per cent or 95 per cent. I don't think you're going to hear many people as low as 95 per cent on this one. It seems like this time, it's a more unabashed assassination.Nikita: I think that's true. But also, nobody tried to, you know, take his private army and march on Moscow before. Bob: Right, right. Absolutely. You know, right after this happened, right after the mutiny, and after the deal was negotiated, American Russia hawks like Michael McFaul said, see, all this stuff about how Putin if you corner him is dangerous, is wrong. We don't need to worry about pushing them out of Crimea and back into Russia and even, what is happening now, attacks on Russian territory. McFaul said, this just shows he'll fold; it's a bluff. What McFaul said is that he capitulated. And first of all, I pointed out, he did not capitulate. He didn't meet Prigozhin's demands. That's capitulation, if you do fire Shoigu and Gerasimov, the two military chiefs he wanted fired. And I'd be interested in your take on this. Leave aside the fact that apparently, ultimately, Prigozhin paid the ultimate price. I thought, given the situation Putin was in, he didn't handle it that badly. I mean, you've got 5,000 troops marching to Moscow. Things could get seriously out of hand, even if you're confident you can put it down. These people are considered war heroes by a lot of Russians, right? They're the guys who did Bakhmut. They have a base. And after Wagner had shot down the planes, to get out of it with no further bloodshed… Leaving aside the fact that ultimately Putin had it both ways, he finessed it without a big confrontation and got Prigozhin killed, what did you think after the event?Nikita: Well, first of all, during the event itself, and the few days after, the prevalent feeling among all the Russians I know, whether inside or outside Russia, was just how bizarre this whole thing is. Especially as the events were unfolding, like, he started to march, you start to get these audio messages, you get updates in Telegram from Prigozhin himself.For a while, it wasn't clear whether this is actually happening or not. He's saying that they're marching on Rostov and it's like, is he? I haven't seen any pictures. It's just Prigozhin saying that, and he's known for playing games. And then suddenly there are tanks in Rostov.And then he's saying he's marching on Moscow. My brother was in Moscow at the time, and he went into the streets, and he said it was a weird, weird feeling, having been there for a long time, that the cops and the people are on the same side, because the cops in Moscow and people in Moscow were expecting this army to show up. And the cops seemed nervous and unsure what to do.. . .Nikita: So the prevalent feeling from this whole experience was just: This is bizarre and weird. When the analysis started to come in three days, four days after the thing, I had the feeling that maybe this is us trying to pretend that we understand what is going on. Because these past couple of days, nobody knew what was happening. Every theory was thrown out there, whether it's staged, whether it's real. You've heard these, you know, Prigozhin agreed with Putin that he's going to do this thing to find the people who are actually not loyal enough. There was all of this, and nobody had a good theory because the straightforward one seemed also too weird.Bob: Yeah.Nikita: But now in the aftermath, I agree with you that Putin did not lose control. And now, the Russian word they use is signal. This is a strong signal that he's sending that if you try to do this, you're going to blow up.But I think a lot of people did feel as this was happening, surely, that this is not the behavior of a strong leader, because he was nowhere to be found. The day of, Peskov, his spokesperson, said that Putin knows about the situation. But that was all. And then in the morning, he [Putin] made this speech. And during the day, as this was happening, there weren't a lot of people who really jumped in front of the situation and said, I support the president of my country and this is mutiny. They started saying that as the situation progressed and it became more clear that this is what you're supposed to be doing.. . .(Overtime segment available to paid subscribers below the paywall.)0:42 Nikita's life as an expatriate 5:18 Theories among Russians about Prigozhin's death 17:29 Putin's handling of the Wagner mutiny, reassessed 25:46 Did Prigozhin lose his mind? 35:36 How worried should Putin be about Prigozhin's supporters? 43:15 Russians' evolving views of the invasion 50:50 Is Putin feeling heat from the nationalist right?

Jak vysoko by v agendě dnešní tripartity ještě měl být z pohledu zaměstnavatelů vládní konsolidační balíček? Jaký vzkaz vysílá Putinův režim, pokud až dva týdny po vzpouře Vagnerovců potvrdil, že náčelníkem ruského generálního štábu zůstává Valerij Gerasimov? A jak náročná je letní obnova unikátního systému značek na tuzemských turistických trasách?

As history is witness, uprisings in Russia seldom end well for the rebels. In episode 1258 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta untangles the abandoned coup mounted by ‘Putin's chef' Prigozhin & his Wagner Group and how this will bode for the war in Ukraine.
Ha sido este último un fin de semana de infarto en Rusia. El viernes, Yevgeny Prigozhin, dueño de la empresa de mercenarios Wagner y persona muy cercana a Vladimir Putin, dijo públicamente que el ejército ruso había matado a “una enorme cantidad” de sus hombres en un ataque a uno de los campamentos que sus soldados tienen en la retaguardia del frente ucraniano. Estaba enfurecido y anunció que habría represalias. Los militares negaron que ese ataque se hubiera producido y a partir de ahí todo se precipitó. Prigozhin se declaró en rebelión a través de Telegram y anunció su intención de avanzar sobre Moscú en lo que denominó “marcha por la justicia”. Esta marcha sólo se detendría si Putin le entregaba la cabeza del ministro de Defensa, Serguéi Shoigú, y del jefe de Estado Mayor Valeri Gerasimov. El sábado a primera hora, Prigozhin revelaba que su ejército ya había abandonado el este de Ucrania y que estaban tomando Rostov del Don, una ciudad de más de un millón de habitantes situada en el punto donde el río Don desemboca en el mar de Azov. La ciudad se entregó sin oponer resistencia. Los hombres de Wagner se hicieron el control del comando militar del sur de Rusia, que es desde donde se dirige la invasión de Ucrania. En Moscú saltaron todas las alarmas. Se puso inmediatamente a Wagner fuera de la ley, fue asaltada su sede central en San Petersburgo y Putin se vio forzado a comparecer de urgencia por televisión. En un discurso televisado el presidente se lamentó por todo lo que estaba pasando, calificó de traición la actitud de Prigozhin y anticipó castigos ejemplares. El país se encontraba en aquel momento al borde de la guerra civil. Una hora más tarde Prigozhin publicó un mensaje en Telegram informando que sus unidades se dirigían ya hacia el norte por la carretera que conduce a Voronezh. Su intención expresa era no detenerse hasta alcanzar la capital. Seguía insistiendo en que el problema era Shoigú y Gerasimov. Unas horas más tarde el gobernador de la provincia de Lipetsk informó de que las unidades de Wagner ya se encontraban allí y pidió a los habitantes no salir de sus hogares para evitar males mayores. A lo largo de las siguientes horas, se distribuyeron imágenes de columnas de Wagner, equipadas con acorazados, artillería y vehículos de transporte de tropas cruzando las provincias de Voronezh y Lipetsk, situada esta última a sólo 500 kilómetros de Moscú. Su avance era rápido y apenas encontraban oposición. Por tierra apenas había intentos de detenerles, desde el aire se produjeron ataques puntuales por parte de helicópteros. El ejército ruso, entretanto, fue tomando posiciones en el sur de la capital para repeler el ataque. A media mañana la situación era de una gravedad extrema. Putin pasó entonces al plan B. Se puso en contacto con el presidente de Bielorrusia, Aleksandr Lukashenko, para que intermediase con los rebeldes. Las conversaciones entre Lukashenko y Prigozhin se sustanciaron horas más tarde en un acuerdo de alto el fuego. Poco después Prigozhin anunció que sus tropas se retirarían a sus cuarteles y campos de entrenamiento en la Ucrania ocupada, cosa que hicieron prácticamente en el acto. El sábado por la noche los mismos que habían ocupado Rostov a primera hora de la mañana se marcharon por su propio pie. Prigozhin, por su parte, se dirigió a Bielorrusia donde permanecerá exiliado bajo la protección de Lukashenko. La gravedad de lo sucedido estos días abre una nueva fase no ya sólo en la invasión de Ucrania, también en el propio régimen de Putin, que por primera vez ha sido desafiado con éxito. Son muchos los interrogantes que se abren a partir de ahora. Es un misterio qué ocurrirá con Wagner y cuál será el destino de la cúpula militar rusa. Lo que parece fuera de toda duda es que el poder de Putin ha quedado severamente dañado. · Canal de Telegram: https://t.me/lacontracronica · “Hispanos.

Een extra uitzending over de opstand van de Wagnergroep tegen Rusland. De vijandschap tussen het Russische ministerie van Defensie en Wagner Group is geëscaleerd en lijkt Rusland in een burgeroorlog te storten. Wagner-baas Prigozjin en zijn troepen staan lijnrecht tegenover het Kremlin en de veiligheidsdienst FSB. Russische troepen, tanks en pantserwagens zijn Moskou binnengetrokken en beveiligen overheidsgebouwen en strategische posities. Wagnerieten hebben het militair hoofdkwartier van de stad Rostov aan de Don ingenomen. Opperbevelhebber generaal Gerasimov zou het hoofdkwartier ontvlucht zijn. Natuurlijk met Arend Jan, Rob en Hugo, maar dit keer ook met buitenlandcommentator Bernard Hammelburg, Rusland correspondent Joost Bosman, oud-commandant der Landstrijdkrachten Mart de Kruif en hoogleraar Oorlogstudies Frans Osinga.

Podcast host Alexander Gabuev discusses what the next few months may have in store together with Dara Massicot, senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, and Mark Galeotti, CEO of Mayak Intelligence. As the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, Ukraine is set to receive Western battle tanks, while Russia is believed to be planning a new offensive. What military developments can we expect to see in the next few months? What impact will the Western tanks have on Ukraine's capabilities, and why has the West only agreed to supply them now? What do the changes in the military leadership mean for Russia's campaign? And who is really dictating Russia's aims and tactics in this war?

So what might it mean for Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov to be made the new overall commander of Russian operations in Ukraine? I suspect Putin is impatient for some kind of victory - and if Gerasimov absolutely has to provide it, then he will need to find some form of escalation.Details of the Chelsea Society event on 16 January I mentioned are here, and the Lewes Speakers Festival event on the 22nd (lots of other interesting authors, by the way) is here.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials right here.

Gerasimov gets one more shot.Links: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375 https://www.understandingwar.org/sites/default/files/Russian%20Operations%20Assessments%20January%2011%202023.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerasimov_doctrine#/media/File:Guerra_hibridad.jpg
Starosty z okolí Vrbětic i vedení Zlínského kraje překvapila informace, že by se v areálu vybuchlého vrbětického muničního skladu měly vyrábět granáty. Ruské jednotky na Ukrajině mají nového velitele, a to ruského náčelníka generálního štábu Valerije Gerasimova. Co to ukazuje, bude to znamenat změnu ruské taktiky a jaká je aktuální situace na frontě? A Česko chystá vlastní samostatnou kosmickou misi, na které se bude snažit získat peníze od Evropské kosmické agentury.
Bu makalenin amacı; hem akademik bir analiz yapmak hem de çok kritik bir safhaya gelen Rusya'nın durumunu gözler önüne sererek, Ukrayna'daki savaşı bilimsel bazlı şekilde irdelemek olacaktır. Burada odaklanacağımız asıl nokta, Gerasimov Doktrini'nin nasıl başarısız kılındığını, böylelikle, planlı biçimde Rusya'nın nasıl alt edilmeye çalışıldığını ortaya koymaktır. Bunun yanında, savaş bilimi içindeki bu tür doktrinlerin uygulamalarıyla oryaya çıkan şartları da gözler önüne sereceğiz ki bizler için de bir ders olsun. Buradaki sözü edilen ve karşılıklı uygulanan Doğrusal Olmayan Savaş ve Tam Spektrumlu Savaş yöntemleridir. Gerasimov Doktrini'nin başarısızlığını analiz ederken, burada Tam Spektrumlu Savaş doktrinini bütünüyle açıklamayacağım; çünkü bunun öncü yazılarını Politik Merkez'de çok değişik başlıklarla yazmış idim, inceleyebilirsiniz.
On this episode, Lera and Taylor speak with returning guest Leonid Ragozin who candidly updates us on the war in Ukraine and helps us make sense of the fog of this conflict and the continual stream of headline-making actions from the Kremlin. They discuss Putin's mobilization orders, the West's response to Russians fleeing the draft, an unseen struggle for power within the Russian military, the "annexed" Donbas region, and the role that the coming Winter may play in the war for Europeans dependent on Russian oil and gas.

Esattamente come dal punto di vista strettamente militare, nel suo attacco all'Ucraina la Russia alterna strumenti ipermoderni e arretratezze impensabili, come spiega Paolo Ottolina parlando del caso dell'antivirus Kaspersky (che noi italiani conosciamo bene), ma anche del clamoroso infortunio dell'esercito russo da cui si è appreso della morte di un generale. A seguire il punto di Barbara Stefanelli sulle ultime 24 ore del conflitto.Per altri approfondimenti:- L'antivirus Kaspersky va disinstallato?
