    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

    "Good men" have largely overslept 2016 so far.

    Intelligence Summary of the UAF Department of Intelligence......


    Situation in the ATO area as of April 15, 2016


    During twenty-four hours, the adversary has increased the intensity of fire influence on the units of ATO forces. The enemy shelled 104 times from small arms, grenade launchers, antiaircraft mounts ZU-32-2, infantry fighting vehicles BMP-1, 122-mm artillery systems, 82 and 120-mm mortars. The attacks were, as follows: two attacks – Krymske, Zolote (Sieverodonetsk direction); 22 attacks - Luhanske, Zaitseve, Mayorsk, Kirovske, Leninske (Slovyansk direction); 72 attacks – Verkhniotoretske, Avdiyivka, Opytne, Butovka mine, Pisky, Nevelske, Maryinka (Donetsk direction); six attacks – Berezove, Novotroitske, Bohdanivka (Volnovakha direction); two attacks – Shyrokyne (Mariupol direction).

    The adversary preserves the most significant activity in Donetsk direction.

    In the area of Avdiyivka, the situation is, as follows:

    attempts to force the ATO troops out from their positions in the industrial area by intense attacks from small arms, grenade launchers, infantry fighting vehicles and 82-mm mortars were made;

    a rotation of the personnel of the advanced units of the 11th separate motorized rifle regiment (Makiyivka) of the Russian Armed Forces 1st AC (Donetsk) from the Task Force deployed in the area of Yasynuvata was performed.

    The concentration of units, weapons and military equipment of the enemy is confirmed in the rayons of the following towns:

    Makiyivka (northern outskirts) and Yasynivka – firing positions for 122-mm self-propelled artillery "Hvozdyka";

    Yasynuvata: units of the 100th separate motorized rifle brigade (Donetsk), separate assault battalion (Makiyivka) and 11th sep MR regt of the 1st AC of the Russian Armed Forces (about 400 people of personnel, four tanks, four self-propelled artillery, eight combat armored vehicles, seven 122- mm MLRS "Hrad", six anti-aircraft installations ZU-23-2).

    In the area of Donetsk, the situation is, as follows:

    reconnaissance of the front edge of defense of ATO forces was enhanced. It was established that separate electronic warfare company (Donetsk) of the 1st AC of the Russian Armed Forces daily uses electronic warfare system "Leer-3" in the southern and western outskirts of the city. Three enemy sabotage reconnaissance groups carried out raids to the area of Krasnohorivka;

    rotation / reinforcement activities of the advanced units. A tank platoon of the 100th sep MR bde (Donetsk) was moved to the area of Trudivske.

    During the day, the enemy casualties near the areas of Donetsk, Avdiyivka and Zaitsevo comprised four dead and nine wounded Russian service men from the 11th sep MR regt (Makiyivka), 3rd (Horlivka) and 100th (Donetsk) sep MR bde of the 1st AC of the Russian Armed Forces.

    Under the attempt to seize a strong point of the ATO forces, as a result of fire in response and consequently to the undermining of ammunition of two mobile mortar detachments in the area of Molodizhne, five servicemen of the 6th separate motorized rifle regiment (Stakhanov) of the Russian Armed Forces 2nd AC (Luhansk)died and seven were injured.

    Other facts of ammunition and POL supplies from the territory of Russia for the needs of the 1st (Donetsk) and 2nd (Luhansk) AC of the Russian Armed Forces were recorded. They were delivered to the following destinations:

    Khartsyzsk – echelon with ammunition (80 tons) and POL (more than 120 tons);

    Rovenky – POL echelon (320 tons).

    The Ukrainian side informed the representatives of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine about the presence of 122-mm MLRS "Hrad", self-propelled artillery and tanks in the areas of Vesela Hora, Karlo-Marksove, Manuilivka and Kuznetsi.

    Despite the numerous inspections, the morale of the personnel of the 2nd AC of the Russian Armed Forces remains low. On April 12, 2016, while unloading the ammunition, the service men of the 6th sep MR regt caused a fight with shooting with service men of the 2nd separate motorized rifle brigade (Luhansk), which resulted in the injury of the officer of the 2nd sep MR bde.

    The dissatisfaction of the population in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas by the presence and actions of the Russian occupation troops grows. On April 13, 2016, in Stakhanov, two Russian service men of the 6th sep MR regt of the 2nd AC of AF RF made an attempt of an armed robbery of a local citizen, but they received a fitting rebuff. As a result of the incident, one service mea was taken to the local hospital with a leg gunshot wound, and the other was delivered with a broken hand.

    As for the conducting of the integrated air reconnaissance and attack operation in the Black Sea region by the Russian Armed Forces on the eve of the meeting of the NATO-Russia Council

    On the eve of the NATO-Russia Council at the ambassadorial level (planned for April 20, 2016, in Brussels), in the course of which it is planned to discuss, among other questions, the issues of transparency of relationships and reduction of risks of incidents, the Russian Federation demonstrates the determination of intentions to use military force to prevent the deployment of NATO Navy grouping in the Black Sea. On April 14, 2016, in the airspace of Krasnodar oblast and the Black Sea, the Air and Space Forces and the Aviation of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces worked out the elements of the integrated air reconnaissance and attack operation to block the Black Sea straits. The measures involved:

    reconnaissance aircraft Su-24MR (Marynovka) –conducted reconnaissance and verification of objects of the imaginary enemy in the south-western part of the Black Sea (the naval base infrastructure location and deployment of ships);

    airborne warning and control aircraft A-50U (Yeisk) – performed duties in the airspace of the central part of the Black Sea and controlled actions of the Aviation;

    two strategic bombers Tu-160 of the 22nd heavy bomber aviation division (Enhels, Saratov oblast) –worked out the tasks of (simulated) rocket attack on the Bosporus strait area in the airspace of Krasnodar oblast;

    five Su-24M from the 43rd separate marine assault aviation regiment (Saki) of the Naval Aviation of the Russian Black Sea – in the airspace of the south-western part of the Black Sea worked out the maneuvers of blocking (figuratively) military and naval bases of Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey.

    One has to start seriously questioning the German commitment to Minsk 2...Germany has been pushing to go straight to elections or the political track in Minsk 2 WITHOUT significant security steps ALSO contained in Minsk 2 being implemented...

    Ukraine heroically maintains a one-sided ceasefire. Russia attacks Europe relentlessly. Germany snipes at Ukraine:
    https://twitter.com/GermanyDiplo/sta...19392913027072

    Seems that Germany has not been reading the battle reports coming out of the eastern front combat line.......
    Ukraine positions in #Avdeevka are under 82-mm and 120-mm mortars fire since hours

    The war is back on in #Ukraine. Battle at #Avdiivka more intense than ever... Just static and unreported.


    WHY is it so underreported by western MSM and largely ignored by every Western leader especially Obama and Kerry......

    No longer sure Russian commenters, Putin and his FM are even on the planet Earth.....

    Russia calls #NATO's #Europe military buildup 'absolutely unjustified'
    http://uatoday.tv/politics/ibt-russi...ct-632172.html

    Seems everyone else definitively believes it is needed...ALL except Russia....

    OSCE reports make it clear that the majority of ceasefire violations are coming from Russian-separatist forces.
    AND this is not "absolutely unjustified?"
