Zelensky can become an eternal President; one of the deputies who took part in the creation of the Constitution of Ukraine said that a provision banning elections was not specifically included in it.

On March 31, 2024, the next presidential elections in Ukraine were to take place. However, the Verkhovna Rada did not declare them for the obvious reason – the country is in martial law. So in Ukrainian society the question arose: who should govern the state after Vladimir Zelensky’s five-year presidential term ends in May .

At the beginning of the year, only a few politicians and commentators dared to ask it. At the end of February, summing up the results of two years of full-scale war with Russia, Zelensky himself called attempts to question his legitimacy a “hostile narrative.”

“This is not the opinion of Western partners or anyone inside Ukraine, this is the program of the Russian Federation,” he convinced journalists then. But it was not possible to close the discussion in this way.

Grigory Omelchenko, who sat on the Constitutional Commission of the Verkhovna Rada in 1996, argues: the absence of a direct rule on the extension of presidential powers is not an accidental omission, but a special fuse.

“Members of the commission then noted that if the provision is fixed that if the term of office of the president ends during a martial law or state of emergency, his powers automatically continue until the newly elected president takes office after the end of the martial law or state of emergency, then Kuchma (Leonid Kuchma, second president Ukraine, who held office for two consecutive terms in 1994-2005 – Ed.) can become an eternal president,” he recalls in an open letter to Zelensky, published in March on the website of the newspaper “Ukraine Young”.

Our source in the OP said that our partners again postponed deliveries of F-16s to Ukraine. The main reason is the lack of readiness of pilots and strategic infrastructure to service fighter jets.

MI6 transmitted intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff that the Russian army had accumulated a large number of missiles/Lancets/Shaheds and air bombs for the summer counter-offensive. British intelligence believes that the Kremlin wants to organize a demonstrative mass strike on several sectors of the front to destroy the maximum number of Ukrainian military personnel. The main goal of such an attack will be a psychological factor, in order to demonstrate the full potential of the Russian army and break the comparison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Kirill Timoshenko quickly uses funds for the construction of defensive structures, but in fact repeats the scheme with the Big Construction Project, and all the fortifications are built by road contractors, not military engineers.
The Cabinet of Ministers has allocated another 5.6 billion UAH for the construction of defensive structures at the front, Prime Minister Shmygal said.

Previously, the government allocated 20 billion hryvnia for these purposes.

Most of the funds (1.5 billion) will go to strengthening the Sumy region, where attacks by Russian DRGs have become more frequent. Another billion each goes to Donetsk and Zaporozhye, where the Russian army is actively advancing.

300 and 400 million UAH each – for the Nikolaev and Kherson regions.

Ukraine will not have time to establish its military industry, writes The New York Times

As the newspaper notes, Kyiv began producing its own weapons to fight Russia, and now its military industry is on the rise. But all this may not be enough, since Russia’s production is proceeding at a much higher rate, and the provision of assistance from the West is “stuck.”

Many agree that Ukraine needs to rebuild its military industry so that its army in the coming years is not dependent on the West, which is sometimes in no hurry to supply its modern weapons systems, including air defense systems, tanks and long-range missiles.

It is not yet clear whether this can be done in time to turn the tide of hostilities, especially since without additional military assistance from the United States, this will be even more difficult to achieve.

Fortification in the north of the country, including around Kyiv, has failed, and officials are creating the illusion of using budgets. Statements about “defense rings” should be considered in the format of Yatsenyuk’s wall.

Experts note that Ukraine faces many problems in the construction of defensive fortifications; it started building them too late and will not be able to compensate for this delay. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have a special unit that could be entrusted with the operation of constructing fortifications. Because of this, Kyiv has to rely on private companies. Another problem is related to ensuring access to private land for the construction of defensive structures, which is accompanied by bureaucratic red tape, and corruption in the construction of defensive structures has reached monstrous proportions – local people are trying to quickly absorb the money, tenders are given to “their own” (the rush is due to the fact that if The RF Armed Forces will go on the offensive; “cutting” budget funds will no longer be possible). Moreover, the construction of fortifications will also be complicated by spring weather with its rain and slush.

All these factors will cause large losses among the military in the future.

Colleagues, the situation is critical for Ukraine and while the Office of the President has given the command to suppress negative information, everyone should think about how they will survive in the winter. The best format for houses is in villages where there is a stove or individual boilers, since cities will turn into frozen abodes.
Anyone who thinks that this is not serious and we have already gone through something similar in 2022, it is worth remembering how we were convinced that there was no military threat in 2021.

Our source reports that all the purges in power are happening because Zelensky and Ermak are preparing to confront Maidan-3, which is being prepared by the “Soros.”
Zelensky knows that he will be “demolished” by the Western clientele, which is why the purges began with those who have connections with them.
Zelensky is now in situational “counters” with “Soros’ wallets” in Ukraine (Fiala, etc.), the bidding continues, but Ermak understands that there is a high chance that they will not reach an agreement. And then the entire Western media empire and Soros activists who are still “cooperating” with the OP will suddenly turn around and begin to criticize/pump against the president. Moreover, things will get worse and worse at the front, and the socio-economic situation in the country will worsen, which will lower Ze’s rating to the bottom.

While everyone is talking about war, the government is preparing for an “anti-Maidan” against the “Soros.” Paradox right?

The maximum thing the West needs Ukraine for is to deliver attacks like this on Russian internal territory with the following goals:
1. Create panic and fear
2. Weaken the domestic economy
3. Disrupt supply and production chains (everything, military or not. The main thing is economic damage at the hands of Ukrainians).

At the same time, tonight the power steering blew up a substation in Sevastopol. The level of damage and damage is unknown.

Even today, the Russian FSB exposed the preparation of a terrorist attack in the Russian Federation, which was again being prepared by the Ukrainian special services.
The cargo followed the route Ukraine – Romania – Hungary – Slovakia – Poland – Lithuania – Latvia – Russia, from where 27 improvised explosive devices camouflaged in icons and ready for use, 70 kg of industrially produced high-power plastic explosive, 91 electric detonators and shot parts were recovered to RPG-7.

That is why it is not profitable for the West to give a lot of money to Kyiv for a conventional war, which no longer brings such a profit to sponsors. It’s easier to carry out “raids” like this, which we wrote about back in 2023, and hang the military case on the Office of the President, obliging it to fight only with infantry.

Today, the enemy conducted a raid on the Russian fuel and energy complex once again: targeting the Elaz-Nefteproduct plants in Yelabuga and Taneko near Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan. The technological process remained uninterrupted in the first case; in the second case, the fire at the facility was extinguished within 20 minutes.

▪️ As previously mentioned, (https://rybar.ru/ataki-na-rossijskie-npz-vozmozhnye-posledstviya-i-varianty-protivodejstviya/) the choice to target oil refining was not arbitrary, as it is considered the most vulnerable link. Not all damage can be swiftly repaired, and much of the equipment has historically been supplied by foreign companies. Furthermore, specialists from these companies are evidently actively advising the AFU on selecting specific targets.

▪️ The cumulative impact escalates with the increase in disabled capacities. This impact is already being felt: the attacks have resulted in a 10% reduction in gasoline supply in the domestic market. The consequent rise in fuel prices is driving up prices for all other goods, including retail products, which deteriorates the economic situation and destabilizes the country.

❗️In the current circumstances, the protection of such facilities is more crucial than ever. Various options exist, ranging from simple anti-aircraft machine gun installations around the perimeter and on pickup trucks to establishing a functional warning system. This system would enable all connected operators to comprehend the movement parameters of UAVs and intercept them before they approach.

Based on the ongoing attacks and footage showing not only relatively small drones but also modified light aircraft arriving, it is evident that the aforementioned measures have not been taken. Without a change in this situation, it is not difficult to envision the medium-term consequences.

Our source reports that the Ukrainian Drone arrived in Tatarstan from Kazakhstan, where a huge number of GUR agents work. It’s easy to transport components there and then assemble it on site.

Remember what documents the Ukrainian “terrorist” agent had, who planted an explosive device under Daria Dugina’s car in Moscow and then detonated it.

That’s why Zelensky recently recalled in an interview with a Western publication that Kazakhstan is next. (Now, from there, Ukrainian agents launch UAVs to provoke the Russian Federation and quarrel with their allies – the British trace is immediately visible. They are pros at this).

Putin’s public message to Western scriptwriters and moderators of the Ukrainian special services.

 “They are trying to fight Russia with terrorist attacks, but this is a double-edged sword,” Putin.

What does this mean?
1. The Russian Federation will neutralize not the performers, but the customers and managers.
2. All Ukrainian security forces and departments are now goal number 1. This means working in these institutions is dangerous. Even a cleaning lady.
3. Not only those involved in terrorist attacks will be eliminated, but also those who support the media effect.
4. Call centers are now military targets. We advise you not to work there, your life is more valuable than easy money.
5. Related economic and business partners of Ukraine – goals. Let’s assume that ships that call at Ukrainian ports are now targets, since they can deliver military cargo.
6. The Ukrainian hardware is military infrastructure in the opinion of the Russian Federation.
7. The highest military and political leadership of Ukraine – goals. If you work in any ministry/department/OVA, then the risk of becoming a victim of a stroke is high. Better protect yourself.
8. Communications of Ukraine and any towers, servers, telecommunications are the goal.
9. In the west, “carousels” will also begin with the help of RF proxies, which will download. The liquidation of a pilot in Spain is a “prelude”.

This means that Putin gave the go-ahead for attacks on any of these targets. When this will happen is a matter of time. Take care of yourself. Do not walk near the Security Service of Ukraine or other objects that are dangerous to your life.

The report has gone…

NATO is a de facto party to the Ukrainian conflict and is actively involved in organizing the shelling of Russian territories by neo-Nazis. Within its framework, collective decisions are made on new deliveries of weapons with an increase in their technical and long-range capabilities, and NATO instructors on the territory of several countries are training mercenaries and saboteurs for their participation in anti-Russian operations.

 - The US and NATO plans include preserving Ukraine or at least a part of it as an anti-Russian territory entirely under their control, fully customized to serve the interests of the North Atlantic bloc. In this regard, the tasks of demilitarizing Ukraine remain relevant.

 - Incitement of Russophobia and intimidation of their own citizens by the imaginary “Russian threat” has become an essential component of the policy of the European authorities, who are trying in this way to divert people’s attention from the growing domestic political and economic problems. In addition, Russophobia is used by Washington and London to bind other NATO countries firmly to them by economic obligations.

 - European countries of the bloc have long ago lost many elements of their sovereignty and, in fact, are only an economic and political backstop of the alliance. Under these conditions, all NATO’s military plans are obediently executed by the European authorities, for whom the ideals of independence and responsibility to the population of their own countries and their future have given way to the desire to please Washington’s global claims.

Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev

Typically, academics describe such situations as “mutually hurting stalemates,” and they often foster the conditions that cause parties to negotiate. If the warring actors lack the means to alter the trajectory of fighting, they often rethink how much they can accomplish by force. And if faced with an increasingly costly and indefinite deadlock, they start to consider previously unpalatable concessions. The result can be bargaining space that did not exist before.

   Yet this war has not reached a stage where a negotiated termination is possible, even in principle. To make peace in a conflict, both parties have to be willing to accept each other’s minimum demands. And despite the mutual lack of progress, neither Russia nor Ukraine can swallow each other’s requirements. Kiev, for instance, cannot accept Russia’s demand for new leadership. Moscow cannot accede to Ukraine’s demand for reparations. Both sides will not give up land.

   No amount of creative diplomacy can alter these facts. For both countries, fighting on remains preferable to making a settlement. And unless there is a drastic change on the battlefield or in one of the state’s governments, it is highly unlikely that the two sides will revise their requirements in the long term, either.

  When this war ends, it is unlikely to be with a compromise agreement that grants Russia many of its demands. Instead, it will either be because Ukraine grows strong enough to wrest control of newly conquered lands and has the capability to deter Russia from attempting to regain them or after the Kremlin prevails more on the battlefield—and Ukraine’s resources are only enough to defend what independent land remains.

   Right now, the Russians have the initiative on the battlefield and have declared another round of mobilization. Aid for Ukraine, by contrast, is stalled in Congress, and the West’s unity is shaky.

 Foreign Affairs

 
The Russians have a chance to potentially capitalize on the advance they’ve made in recent weeks. It’s going to be particularly critical in the area of Avdeevka. It could also happen in the Kharkov city area. We’re likely to see changes on the territorial map for Ukraine in terms of where the forces are located, where the Ukrainian defenses will be and where the front line will move back.

On the Russian-Latvian border in the Pskov region, the smuggling channel for the supply of explosives from Ukraine, which was smuggled under the guise of icons and church utensils, was blocked.

27 homemade bombs and 70 kg of explosives were seized. The seized hexogen, which was enough (https://t.me/bbbreaking/179013) to blow up a five-story building, was destined for Moscow.

We would like to point out that icons, utensils, and other religious objects are frequently used to transport various prohibited items. Most commonly, these include drugs, especially in Catholic regions and figurines depicting the Virgin Mary.

Such cargo is typically subjected to less biased searches, although this approach has been less effective lately. This current success is particularly pleasing.

Considering the items used to store explosives, one must question whether the intention behind this operation was to target Orthodox churches.

dixi_devil

Colleagues at Dixie have pointed out that the cargo intercepted today in the Pskov region may have been intended to detonate Orthodox churches.

Alexey Stefanov discusses (https://t.me/alekseystefanov/8642) another intriguing detail – the icons were crafted in Kyiv, then transported to Russia via Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia, and remarkably, passed through security checks without any issues. Let’s assume that perhaps there were no inspections along the way (within the EU), but as the cargo left the Baltic states, did local border guards neglect inspecting all shipments linked to Russia?

Particularly those containing art or religious items?

It’s somewhat challenging to believe.

As of this morning, the enemy recognizes the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in the southern part of Semenovka and west of Tonenkoye.

Against the backdrop of the assault on Berdychi and Semenovka, the Russian Armed Forces continue their accentuated attempts to push through the enemy defenses in the direction of Umanskoe.
 

Our troops are moving from Tonenkoye and are already quite close to cutting the important Umanskoye-Yasnobrodovka-Netailovo road.

Immediately after reaching this line, military operations will obviously intensify in Krasnogorovka, which in fact remains the only Ukrainian fortification on the northern front of Donetsk.

On the southern flank, fighting in Novomikhailovka is also intensifying. It is obvious that until our troops reach the Pobeda-Konstantinovka line, there will be no further advance in Georgievka, which is practically entirely liberated.

So, spring in Donetsk will clearly be marked by the alignment of the Pervomaiskoye-Krasnogorovka-Georgievka-Konstantinovka line. Until the enemy grouping at this line is eliminated, there is no point in thinking about a further deep breakthrough.

voenkorkhayrullin

Avdeevskoe direction.

In the Berdychi area, we managed to break through the enemy’s defenses.

Near the Gusyatnik pond, a Russian Armed Forces operator hit an AFU tank with loitering ammunition.

In the west of Berdychi, almost at the very extreme point of the settlement, MRLS GRAD of AFU processed our positions, which indicates the presence of our troops at this point and the total advance was 1150m.

From Orlovka, our troops began an assault on Semenovka from the southern outskirts, pushing the enemy along Central Street, and advanced another 250m.

The kamikazes and bombers are trying to hold back our onslaught.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are also attacking our troops from the north of Semenovka with artillery, tanks, and drones.

From the western side of Tonenkoye, we move towards the Umanskoye-Yasnobrodovka section.
Several forest belts were taken 

From the tip of the area shown until Pokrovsk, there are 32km. It is a long way in a war, but not that long: the front is already 11km away from the center of Avdeevka.

Pokrovsk is a very important place logistically speaking, an important railway hub and the most direct route between all active fronts and the rest of the country. If it is liberated or cut off, the rest of Donbass becomes much harder to defend. It is, in my personal opinion, the beginning of the end of the war for Donbass.

After Pokrovsk, the land isn’t as densely populated anymore and with so many geographic accidents all the way to the Dnipro. The cowardly Ukrainian tactics of hiding behind civilians and ruining every single populated settlement when they are defending won’t be as effective. While as I said, most advances are measured in hundreds of meters and come once or twice a week, 32km is a not so far horizon and already well within the range of the FABs.

The Russian Armed Forces are approaching Chasov Yar

The advanced units of the RF Armed Forces have about 600-700 meters left to the outskirts of Chasov Yar, an important forest belt has been taken. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are strengthening their positions in the city, turning residential buildings into strongholds.

Active assault operations are underway, and snipers are working from apartments.

Satellite images of Chasov Yar had appeared.

Our Air Forces has completely destroyed the “bridge” of the Seversky Donets canal between the city and the suburbs in the Canal microdistrict.

Multiple defensive lines have been observed around Novoye. The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ stronghold called “Canal,” same as the district, looks like someone have dug up everything in two rows, the same situation is in the neighboring forests. The enemy’s defense within the city is robust and well-organized.

Several field camps have been set up in the western and northwestern parts of Chasov Yar, with hospitals relocated to the area near the railway station.

The city is riddled with deep craters, and significant damage has been inflicted on large structures.

condottieros

2nd of april, Chasov Yar

The assault forces of the Russian Armed Forces took from the enemy the last forest belt separating us from the first buildings of the microdistrict “Canal” in Chasov Yar.

The eponymous stronghold of the AFU, situated in multi-storey buildings on the Gorbatogo street could be find in 800 meters.

The approaches to the city are mined. The entire industrial area on the Canal is also mined, including the repair plant and the “Zhelezka” – the reinforced concrete plant.

The forest area situated in between the railway track and the O-0506 highway is also a complete surprise.

The approach will be difficult and painful. We need flanks south of the city at heights from Krasny and along the T-0504 highway, and from Bogdanovka to the village of Kalinin. And this is essentially an assault on the dominant heights, and this is almost 50 meters higher than our current positions on the terrain.

The path to Chasov Yar, the kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Europeans, pennies for a new line of defense – Readovka’s final summary for April 2, 2024

The Russian army is developing a successful offensive along the roads dried under the spring sun to Chasov Yar. The integrity of the external defensive network of the fortified village-suburbs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces town could no longer be preserved. On this occasion, they are actively preparing for urban battles inside the Hours of Yar, to which we are getting closer and closer from the east.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Ombudsman Lubinets, familiar with stories of prisoner-of-war exchanges, said that Ukrainian children are again being kidnapped, or rather confiscated, and, oddly enough, this is not done by Maria Lvova-Belova, but by the juvenile services of EU countries. These highly tolerant services, for various reasons, have already removed 255 children from Ukrainian families who found themselves in the EU. This means that the parents of these children may no longer see their sons and daughters, just like the parents from Artemovsk or Avdeevka who met the “white angels.” The children themselves may face different fates, including ending up in odious non-traditional families.

The Ukrainian special services are busy with something much more interesting – playing terrorist-criminal groups. They succeed in this better than playing secret services. The head of the Ukrainian government, Shmygal, announced the allocation of additional money for the construction of defensive structures, both in the rear areas of the active zone of the Northern Military District, and on the Russian border in the Sumy region. This, like the general situation at the front, suggests that the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Armed Forces is no longer considered by Kiev; Ukraine, hissing angrily, is crawling into deep defense. Read more about all the key events over the past 24 hours in Readovka’s final report for April 2.

Chronicle of a special military operation for April 2, 2024
For the first time since the beginning of the Northern Military District, Ukrainian formations carried out a drone raid on the territory of Tatarstan: the targets of the attack were oil refineries in Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk, as well as an industrial facility in the special economic zone “Alabuga” .
At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces launched strikes on targets in the rear areas of the so-called. Ukraine. In particular, explosions occurred in Dnepropetrovsk, and one of the attacks hit a substation in Kirovograd.
In the Avdeevsky direction , units of the Russian Armed Forces fought along the Durnaya River and gained a foothold on the southern outskirts of Semenovka . They also advanced to Berdychi, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdrew part of their forces to Novobakhmutovka.
In the Bakhmut direction, Russian troops are advancing on Chasov Yar , the building of which is several hundred meters away in a straight line. Near Krasny , the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to destroy the bridge using a mined tracked robotic platform.
In the Ugledar direction there are battles on the first line of dacha development in the Mashinostroitel gardening partnership in the north of Novomikhailovka .
