Recently, I mentioned the issue of Russian colonists replacing Ukrainians, who either fell victim to violence, was forcibly displaced, or had to flee. Today, I will provide several examples of tactics used by Russians to reshape the population on occupied territories.
🧵Thread: Image
2/ According to the "Interagency Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response," around 40,000 people remain in camps, including over 10,000 children. Russia claims to provide "social security" payments to over 1.4 million people, indicating a larger number of displaced Image
3/
-Between May and June, around 600 individuals were deported from Dokuchaevsk, Starobilsk, and Debaltseve to Rostov Oblast.

- In Zaporizhia Oblast, teachers who refused to comply with new Russian educational programs faced interrogations, intimidations, and deportation.
4/
- Some maternity hospitals in occupied areas have been converted into military facilities, while equipment for maternal purposes was moved to Russia.

- Administrative positions continue to be filled by appointed individuals from russia, displacing Ukrainians from these roles
5/
Russia also pursues the assimilation and indoctrination of children into Russian ideology, erasing Ukrainian identity. They organize "educational trips" to health resort or "sport" camps. Photos from the mentioned events will be included as evidential reference: Image
6/
The educational and field training camp "V Army" at the training center of the Military Academy of NBC Defense hosted over 80 schoolchildren, including students from Luhansk Oblast. Image
7/
More than 100 kids from Kalanchak, Kherson Oblast, were sent to the Lesnaya Skazka camp in Saratov for an entertainment and "cultural program." Image
8/ Approximately 280 children from the Antratsyt region were moved to the "Cossack Cadet Corps" in Kalmykia, with plans to relocate around 500 Ukrainian children by the end of the summer. Image
9/ In occupied Kherson region, Russian forces conducted shooting training with members of "Youtharmy" on July 18th. Image
10/ According to statistics provided by occupational authorities, the population of Sevastopol (Russian Black Sea Fleet base) has increased by nearly 40% between 2014 and 2021, suggesting significant resettlement of Russians into Crimea. Image
11/ There are multiple reports indicating that russia is actively repopulating Mariupol. This is being done by providing housing to teachers, administrative workers, and other occupational staff through settlement into newly built apartments.
12/ This reflects a deliberate strategy employed since the times of the Russian Empire to replace locals with russians. The ultimate goal is to establish a narrative that portrays the region as historically russian, allowing subsequent generations to claim it as their birthright.

In this 🧵thread, I discuss tactics from the captured Russian manual "Recommendations for countering an enemy operating as tank and mechanized columns," with a specific focus on analyzing the section titled "Hugging the explosions of one's own shells." Image
2/ The AFU maneuver, referred to in the manual as "Hugging the explosions of one's own shells," aims to minimize the time gap between artillery preparation and the infantry reaching the trenches, capitalizing on the defenders' delay in manning their positions. Image
3/ Infantry, tanks, and BMPs begin their forward movement not after the artillery preparation but during it. Infantry and armored vehicles aim to get as close as possible to the targeted area, considering the limits of safe distances. Image

A year ago, a russian propaganda memo surfaced on the internet, garnering attention not just for its propaganda content but also for its ridiculousness. It circulated among pro-russian informants and has recently been found among detained pro-Russian agents again. 🧵Thread: Image
2/ Authors explain Russia's motive to occupy Ukraine in the introduction. One of the highlighted arguments explaining the Ukrainian revolution of 2014 was summarized by authors as follows: "The villagers who broke into Kyiv created a new reality, where they felt like masters." Image
3/ According to the authors, the war was triggered by the construction of NATO bases. Control over nuclear energy was assumed by Americans and Brits, and the US DoD established biolabs in Ukraine for researching and producing bioweapons, even conducting human experiments Image

🧵With new satellite imagery from Vuhledar revealing the extent of the catastrophe experienced by the Russian army during the winter, as well as the ongoing counter-offensive, it is crucial to explore the role of minefields and operational planning in shaping assault operations. Image
2/ The objective of a minefield extends beyond causing harm; it also aims to impose a specific mindset and tactical approach on the opponent, compelling them to act in a manner most advantageous for the party laying the minefield. Minefields limit the enemy's maneuvering options Image
3/ Mechanized units are used for maneuvering, executing assaults, bypassing enemy positions, and launching flanking maneuvers. Their firepower and off-road speed make them ideal for such operations. However, minefields restrict maneuvering space, hampering the assault's tempo. Image

In the context of counter-offensive and minefields let's continue the review of the russian manual that offers guidelines for establishing minefields as a countermeasure against Ukrainian mechanized columns. 🧵Thread
2/ The manual recommends installing mines on roads, bridges, and off-road areas near tree lines where vehicles may move. Special attention should be given to intersections, where the installation of mixed groups of mines, obstacles, and barricades is recommended.
3/ The process is described as follows: mixed minefields are installed in the front part of the defense line at night. The mining itself is carried out covertly by groups of sappers consisting of no less than 10-15 individuals, allowing for manual placement of mines.

🧵Thread:

I have recently obtained a valuable russian document titled "Recommendations for countering an enemy operating as tank and mechanized columns." This thread will include analysis of select section of the manual, extracting insights from its contents.
2/ The manual highlights utilization of combined-arms units and formations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to them, AFU tactics are based on NATO strategy, adapted for local conditions, and implemented by AFU commanders through memorized "NATO combat algorithms”.
3/ The discussed section is titled "Frontal Attack via 'Pierced' Corridor with Armored Vehicles."To enhance clarity, I will blend book visuals with my original graphics.

As per the manual, AFU units initiate the first stage by conducting reconnaissance with small recon groups.

In light of the ongoing discussions surrounding the counter-offensive, we need to revisit the topic of mines due to its utmost importance. As I have previously emphasized, the extensive deployment of mines by Russian forces remains a significant threat to our troops.
2/ The mine problem encountered in this counter-offensive would pose a formidable challenge even for NATO or Western militaries if given the same resources. With thousands of heavily mined square kilometers, it is a complex and protracted issue that cannot be easily resolved.
3/ Providing us with more anti-mine means would improve the situation, but it doesn't solve all the challenges. Russians use various methods to lay mines, including manual, mechanized, and remote approaches, adding complexity as different types of mines require various clearance
