В Адміністрації Президента представили незаперечні докази збройної агресії Росії проти України
Friday August 28th, 2015 at 2:21 PM

Www.President.Gov.Ua

В Адміністрації Президента представили незаперечні докази збройної агресії Росії проти України

Заступник Глави Адміністрації Президента України Андрій Таранов спільно з Головою Служби безпеки України Василем Грицаком представили журналістам незаперечні докази участі Збройних сил РФ у бойових діях на Донбасі та порушення Міських домовленостей, які були зібрані українською розвідкою та підтверджені розвідками інших іноземних країн-партнерів України.

Були викладені детальні документальні матеріали, які підтверджують постійні та свідомі порушення російсько-окупаційними військами основних положень Мінських домовленостей, що прикривається заявами Росії про необхідність мирного вирішення конфлікту.

Відповідні матеріали сьогодні були також представлені дипломатичному корпусу, акредитованому в Україні.

Так, за словами українських силовиків, протягом літа 2015 року відбулись кардинальні зміни у характері російської участі у воєнних діях на Сході України. Збройним силам України відтепер протистоять не змішані російсько-терористичні угруповання, як це було на початку російської агресії, а структуровані військові підрозділи регулярної армії Росії. При цьому режим В.Путіна продовжує категорично заперечувати причетність Росії до конфлікту на Сході України, а також участь у ньому російських Збройних сил та спецслужб.

Так, за інформацією від Голови Служби безпеки України, на окупованій території Донбасу військовим керівництвом Російської Федерації завершено створення потужного окупаційного сухопутного з’єднання, основу якого становлять два армійських корпуси, які готові до проведення активних наступальних дій, але вивчають проведення оборонних операцій. Загальне оперативне керівництво зазначеним угрупованням, а також координацію його дій безпосередньо здійснює Генеральний штаб Збройних сил Росії. За формування, комплектування, підготовку та логістику російсько-окупаційних військ на Донбасі відповідають штаб Південного військового округу та 12-е командування резерву. Штаби 1 та 2 армійських корпусів (АК) здійснюють безпосереднє управління діями підпорядкованих їм частин, та розташовані відповідно штаб 1 АК – в Донецьку, 2 АК – в Луганську.

Таким чином, силам АТО протистоять повноцінні військові формування Збройних сил Російської Федерації; на окупованих територіях України сконцентрована велика кількість важкого озброєння та військової техніки. Відбувається ешелоноване накопичення значних обсягів паливо-мастильних матеріалів та боєприпасів, що мають забезпечити ведення активних наступальних дій, які за планом російського Генерального штабу будуть підтримані введенням на територію України додаткових підрозділів Збройних сил Російської Федерації.

Заступник Глави АПУ та Голова СБУ наголосили, що активізація бойових дій на Сході України співпадає з активізацію діяльності терористичних та диверсійно-розвідувальних груп противника в північних областях України, зокрема Одеській та Миколаївській. Але, повсякденна та кропітка діяльність спеціальних служб України не дає втілитися планам російсько-терористичних керівників в життя.

За їх інформацією, організаційно-штатна структура з’єднань, частин та підрозділів обох армійських корпусів побудована за російськими зразками. Батальйон територіальної оборони складається з добровольців з окупованих територій України, а також найманців з Росії та інших країн. Російські генерали та офіцери виконують завдання на окупованих територіях України на ротаційній основі із заміною через 3-6 місяців.

Привертає увагу той факт, що з початку 2015 року всі офіцери та генерали ЗС РФ, які беруть участь у бойових діях на Сході України, а також здійснюють керівництво російсько-окупаційними військами з російської території, мають відповідні прізвища-прикриття, якими підписують бойові документи. Зазначене здійснюється з метою приховування російських військовослужбовців та виведення їх з-під кримінальної відповідальності у майбутньому.

Такий досвід вже застосовувався Радянським Союзом в Іспанії в 1936-1940 роках, коли генерали Червоної Армії мали вигадані прізвища.

Загалом у складі російсько-окупаційних військ на території України налічується понад 33 тис. осіб, а також близько 9 тис. військовослужбовців регулярних підрозділів Збройних сил Росії. Загалом 21 тактична група Збройних сил Російської Федерації (15 батальйонних та 6 ротних).

Крім того, поблизу кордонів України сконцентровано ще 53 тактичні групи Збройних сил Росії (39 батальйонних та 14 ротних) чисельністю 50,5 тис. військовослужбовців.

Беззаперечним доказом є космічні знімки районів зосередження російських окупаційних військ на території України.

З метою посилення угруповання російсько-окупаційних військ на Сході України Росія здійснює приховане перекидання на українську територію особового складу, озброєння та матеріально-технічних засобів.

Розвідка України має документальні матеріали, які підтверджують порушення російсько-окупаційними військами основних положень Мінських домовленостей в частині, що стосується відведення важких систем озброєння.

Так, беззаперечні матеріали космічної зйомки свідчать про перебування артилерійських систем калібру понад 100 мм на вогневих позиціях у 25-кілометровій зоні уздовж лінії зіткнення сторін.

За наявними даними, до бойового чергування та нанесення вогневих ударів по позиціях сил АТО залучаються до 20 артилерійських батарей російсько-окупаційних військ, які мають на озброєнні понад 120 гармат та гаубиць заборонених калібрів.

Середня інтенсивність обстрілів позицій сил АТО російсько-окупаційними військами становить близько 60 разів за добу. При цьому кількість обстрілів суттєво збільшується при підготовці та в ході наступальних дій противника, а також напередодні переговорів у Мінському та Нормандському форматах.

Majority of Voters Believe Obama, Kerry Misleading Public on Iran Deal, Poll Says by Morgan Chalfant
Friday August 28th, 2015 at 2:13 PM

Washington Free Beacon

A majority of American voters believe that President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are to some extent misleading the public on the nuclear deal with Iran, a survey released by an organization that opposes the agreement indicates.

Specifically, 64 percent of voters believe that Obama and Kerry are “only telling Americans what they think will help the agreement be passed by Congress,” according to a poll released by Secure America Now.

Only 19 percent believe that the president and his secretary of state are providing Americans with “all the facts.” The poll also demonstrates that 82 percent of U.S. voters–and 74 percent of Democrats–oppose Obama’s plan to grant $100 billion in sanctions relief to Iran over the next several months “without approval from Congress.”

Indeed, congressional lawmakers have been increasingly critical of the agreement, especially voicing concern regarding the secret side deals brokered between Iran and the U.N. agency tasked with inspecting Tehran’s nuclear facilities.

Despite calls from Republicans in Congress, Obama has refused to disclose the details of the side deals.

Recently, an apparent draft of one of the agreements between Iran and the IAEA indicated that Tehran will be permitted to use its own experts to inspect the Parchin military site believed to have housed nuclear arms development.

According to the survey, which was conducted between Aug. 13 and 17, 61 percent of American voters want their representative lawmakers on Capitol Hill to vote to reject the deal in the wake of knowledge that Congress will not be provided with details of the Iran-IAEA agreements.

President Obama has been feverishly selling the nuclear deal to lawmakers and to the public despite the growing majority of Americans wanting Congress to reject it after the 60-day review period.

On Friday, the president will speak to Jewish groups via a webcast in an attempt to ease concerns regarding the agreement among Jewish communities.

Virginia Teen Gets 11 Years for Supporting Islamic Stateby Reuters
Friday August 28th, 2015 at 2:13 PM

Washington Free Beacon

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Virginia teenager who used social media to support the militant group Islamic State was sentenced to just over 11 years in federal prison on Friday, the U.S. Justice Department said.

Ali Amin, 17, of Manassas, was the first minor prosecuted by the United States in such a case. U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton handed down a 136-month sentence in a hearing in Alexandria, Virginia, the department said in a statement.

“Today’s sentencing demonstrates that those who use social media as a tool to provide support and resources to ISIL will be identified and prosecuted with no less vigilance than those who travel to take up arms with ISIL,” U.S. Attorney Dana Boente said, using an acronym for the militant group.

Amin, who used the Twitter handle @Amreekiwitness, pleaded guilty in June to using Twitter and his blog to show how to use the virtual currency Bitcoin to send funds to the militants.

Prosecutors said Amin also helped Reza Niknejad, 19, of Prince William County, Virginia, to travel to Syria in January to join the Islamic State. Niknejad faces federal terrorism and conspiracy charges in Virginia.

Islamic State has taken control of large areas of Iraq and Syria in a campaign marked by mass killings and beheadings.

The SITE monitoring service, which follows social media postings by jihadist militants, has said Amin had some 4,000 Twitter followers and was in communication with well-known Islamic State fighters and recruiters.

Federal prosecutors have charged several people across the United States in recent months with supporting the Islamic State as the extremist group has sought to build support through social media.

An Arizona man was indicted on Thursday for supporting the Islamic State by helping a New York college student travel to Syria for military-style training.

Bush-Appointed Federal Judge Blocks Obama Water Rule Citing ‘Risk of Irreparable Harm’ by Morgan Chalfant
Friday August 28th, 2015 at 2:12 PM

Washington Free Beacon

A federal judge in North Dakota appointed by George W. Bush blocked an Obama administration rule Thursday that would allow the federal government to regulate certain streams and other small waterways.

The Associated Press reported that U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson issued a temporary injunction requested by 13 states including North Dakota blocking the Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from regulating small streams, tributaries, and wetlands as directed under the Clean Water Act.

While North Dakota’s attorney general, who filed the request, interpreted the ruling as applying to all 50 states, the EPA insisted that it only stretches to the 13 that sued for the injunction. The rule is set to take effect everywhere else on Friday.

According to Erickson’s ruling, the EPA has exceeded its authority by creating the rule, which requires landowners to obtain a permit if they take actions that would pollute or harm the regulated bodies of water. The agricultural industry has vehemently pushed back on the regulation.

“The risk of irreparable harm to the states is both imminent and likely,” Erickson said when granting the temporary injunction, alleging that the rule would force “jurisdictional studies” of each proposed natural gas, oil, or water pipeline project in North Dakota.

“While the exact amount of land that would be subject to the increase is hotly disputed, the agencies admit to an increase in control over those traditional state-regulated waters of between 2.84 to 4.65 percent,” he wrote in the ruling.

According to officials in North Dakota, the rule would cost the state millions of dollars.

In addition to North Dakota, the other states exempt from the rule are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

Russia’s “Secret” Army in Ukraine
Friday August 28th, 2015 at 1:43 PM

The XX Committee

Today the office of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko released via Twitter important details about the organization and structure of Russia’s occupying army in Southeastern Ukraine. The order of battle (ORBAT) information is clearly derived from a lot of intelligence, especially SIGINT (I say this as someone who used to do ORBAT intelligence for a living: this is well done).

Since most of my readers know neither Russian or Ukrainian, I’m passing on what Kyiv has released today in English. The translation isn’t great but it works. I’m providing comments below since most normals are not well acquainted with the nuances of Russian military organization.

Russian Military Command, South-East Ukraine (Novocherkask):

Commanding Officer (CO): GenCol A N. Serdyukov [1]

1st Army Corps (“Donetsk People’s Republic” Military), HQ: Donetsk

CO: GenMaj A.V. Zavizyon [2]

2nd Army Corps (“Luhansk People’s Republic” Military), HQ: Luhansk

CO: GenMaj Y. V. Nikiforov [3]

The organization of the 1st and 2nd Corps, no surprise, corresponds exactly to the standard tables of organization and equipment (TO&E) of Russian Ground Forces. There are several maneuver brigades (“motor rifle” is the Russian term for mechanized in NATO parlance) supported by independent regiments and battalions. As Kyiv has announced, the 35,000 troops belonging to “DNR” and “LNR” forces are bolstered by 9,000 reservists. While some forty percent of the troops are locals, the rest are Russians plus a few mercenaries and foreign volunteers.

The senior command staff are exclusively Russian officers assigned to the 1st and 2nd Corps — officially they are “not there” of course — while the operation is run, logistically and command-wise, from neighboring Russia.

To anybody with a decent memory, this closely resembles the relationship during the 1992-95 Bosnian War, when the Bosnian Serb Army (VRS), while consisting largely of local rank-and-file troops, had most of its command, and nearly all of its financing and logistics, coming from neighboring Serbia and its military — which, in practice treated the VRS as merely as an extension of itself, as in fact it was.

Needless to add, the “DNR” and “LNR” militaries would not last twenty-four hours without constant command and logistical support from Putin’s military. They are an extension of Russian Ground Forces and should be treated as such by the West. It’s time to end, once and for all, any fiction about “rebels” — these are Russian-controlled forces, led by Russian officers, supplied with Russian guns and ammunition, that are waging war inside Ukraine.

Kudos to Kyiv for putting this important information out there as an aid to understanding what’s really going on in their country.

Comments:

1. AKA Sedov; GenCol is a Russian “three-star” rank.

2. AKA Pilen; GenMaj is a Russian “one-star” rank.

3. AKA Morgun; GenMaj is a Russian “one-star” rank.
