Russian annexation is fully underway;
#Antratsyt have started to report #Russia has brought their police units fr #Rostov to the town replacing #Ukraine милиция, traffic police.
Once again the military tactic of defense is far stronger than an offense.
Russian SF has been attacking the Donetsk airport since late yesterday after a strong typical Russian artillery attack.
Then this today seems to indicate that yes even the Russian SF are defeatable even by a rag tag Ukrainian Army airborne unit.
The defense of this totally destroyed airport is and or has turned into another Stalingrad and is in it's 180th or so days surpassing Stalingrad of 155 days.

Seems Putin needs to check in with his own generals---and there are no Russians in the Ukraine?
He showed up after three days of attempts by the Russian SF to take the Donetsk airport and three failures.

#Ukraine says that Russian military representatives have agreed to a ceasefire at Donetsk airport but a source says this is meaningless
BUT Putin keeps stating there are no Russians in the Ukraine so how did they get there?

#BREAKINGREPORT
#Ukraine and Russian invaders agree on #ceasefire around #Donetsk #airport.
It only needed 1 #Russian_Army general(!!!...)
Lentsov commanded 1500-strong Russian peacekeeping brigade (from 98th & 76th airborne divs) in Bosnia

Rumint that Lt Gen Aleksandr Ivanovich Lentsov thinks 'Army of Novorossiya' is piss-poor and should be replaced by RU regulars.

Well so much for Russian Generals getting involved---shellings and tank attacks still ongoing.

It is now 185th days that that the Ukrainian Army and volunteers are holding the airport--far longer than Stalingrad held out.
Even the best of the Russian Army --one of their elite SF units has even failed to push them out---after the dust settles it would be interesting to analyze their defense tactics especially in an urban environment.

It appears to be a not so subtle shift in the Russian UW strategy ongoing right now.
1.first it was the armed locals taking over admin buildings in eastern Ukraine
2. then "Russian mercenaries" streamed in to "help" the locals against the mean Nazi's from Kyiv
3. then Russian troops arrived on "vacation" to help the mercenaries who were getting beaten badly
NOW it appears that the "locals" and the mercenary leaders are being either killed, and or sent back to Moscow and the Russian army is taking full control over them and their actions and those in Moscow responsible for the "local uprisings" have lost their jobs in the last three days.
NEXT step will be full Russian army control over eastern Ukraine.
FINAL step full annexation of eastern Ukraine by Putin.
So who says the Russian UW strategy is not working?
There are though three single points of failure in their strategy and two are already in play.

Seems like the Russian General's "ceasefire" is not really a "ceasefire".
