Report says that Kiev will launch a big operation with special forces aimed at annexing Russia’s Crimea.
Written by Lucas Leiroz, journalist, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant.
Kiev continues planning to invade Russian demilitarized territories. An article recently published by an important Western media outlet reports that Ukrainian special troops are being trained on British soil to attack the Crimean oblast, thus fulfilling the regime’s goal of recovering the reintegrated Russian oblast. The operation will be carried out with the mobilization of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers, in addition to advanced [NATO-supplied] military equipment.
The information was shared by Express UK on the 29th of July. Sources told journalists that around 2,000 Ukrainian special troops are being trained in the Dartmoor region. There is a program of specialized exercises being operated to prepare the regime’s forces to launch an incursion on Crimea “before Christmas”. The data were confirmed by Kiev’s own intelligence chief, Kyrill Budanov, who said on the same day that news attacks on Crimea will take place “soon”.
The operation is expected to involve a complex military apparatus, including aviation, navy and ground vehicles. Troops trained in Dartmoor are being instructed to try to “paralyze” the Russian enemy while armors advance on the ground. The British program is focusing on the preparation of “commando” units, which are special forces expert in unconventional assaults against targets of high strategic value.
The informants also clarified that the British instructors are officers linked to “Commando 42”, a battalion of British marines. NATO’s agile combat tactics are being taught, with intensive exercises using real ammunition, mainly in simulations of night confrontation. It was also reported that the training camp is now closed to all other British units, in exclusive use for Ukrainian drills.
“The operation to retake it will be one deploying multiple assaults on Russian forces (…) We can train them in our tactics and show how to use equipment, but success will come from the Ukrainians’ own ability to quickly adapt and overcome challenges”, a British source familiar to the military exercises told journalists.
However, the newspaper also interviewed experts who showed some kind of skepticism regarding the possibility of success in the operation. For example, British writer Keir Giles, a specialist on Russian studies, has stated that it is “unlikely” that a Ukrainian “blitzkrieg” will be victorious in Crimea. He, however, said that if the attacks on Kerch (Crimean) Bridge continue to happen repeatedly, perhaps the Russian control of the oblast will be affected.
“This is unlikely to be achieved through a blitzkrieg strike unless Russian forces have completely collapsed. But if attacks on the Kerch bridge continue, and they interdict the railway line and this coincides with the offensive that threatens other routes, eventually, that must have an impact on just how viable Russia’s hold on Crimea is”, he said.
This is not the first time that reports of this type are made. A year ago, for example, it was stated by Western media outlets that the UK had trained Ukrainian military divers specializing in amphibious operations to launch an attack against the “Snake Island”, in the Black Sea. As well known, London has been one of the biggest agents of destabilization throughout the Ukrainian conflict, constantly violating Russian redlines, training thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and providing unrestricted military aid to the neo-Nazi regime – without any concern for peace. So, it was really expected that the UK would get involved in maneuvers in Crimea.
However, it seems unlikely that these plans will succeed. Moscow maintains absolute military control on the frontlines, being able to “predict” enemy moves and launch high-precision attacks to neutralize targets that are involved in suspicious maneuvers. In response to the recent Ukrainian terrorist attacks in Crimea, Russia has maintained a series of military operations to reduce enemy firepower in the Black Sea, which makes it very difficult for Kiev to advance in the region – even in a “blitzkrieg” strategy.
The very numbers shown in the reports seem insufficient to operate this type of maneuver. 2,000 special troops is an expressive figure, but not enough to make Russia lose Crimea. Also, there is the issue of replacement capacity for casualties – something at which Kiev is very weak, considering the reduced number of troops available, while Moscow has so far used only a small percentage of its military potential.
So, if Ukraine launches an offensive in the region, it will face not only strong Russian military resistance, but also solid popular support for local security forces. In practice, there will be a lot of suffering for the Crimean people, but there will be no positive result for Ukraine after the end of hostilities.
britain is really asking for it. nato or no nato.
it’s way past time they got it, britain using ukrainian troops to invade crimea would be nato invading crimea, i said back in 2014 the coup was all about taking crimea and the russian naval base, i have not changed my mind.
for what reason other than to do a libya on russia.
i was saying in 2011 that russia has to be prepared to attack every nato nations nato bases and other military bases throughout the world and to defend everything they have. they cannot do this alone and will need china, iran, cuba, nk africa and syria, every ally they can muster to do their part.
i love the brits but their leadership has always been a bit pants on head mad. napoleon said of them “they are some of the best cavalry in europe – and the most poorly lead.”
even our teachers were sniggering at the spanish against whom the english waged very profitable piracy, most prevalently in the tudor times of elizabeth. i pointed out that it was very bad and they should not laugh and saw that conceited entitled english look. there are thick veins of utter laziness, psychopathy and entitled conceit in the british parasitic filth who make up a big proportion of our people, from top to bottom.
elizabeth the 1st was a quite an ugly woman. elizabeth the 2nd was even uglier old hag. yes, there is definitely something very ugly with the british aristocraps. are they hybrids grown at some underground laboratory by a bunch of demons? are they cannibals? as human they are not.
victoria’s daughter helen was a real cutie, but she’s long dead now… if victoria were still on the throne, parliament, lords, bankers, the bar, and the fricken ngo think tank parasites would be in stocks by morning…big pharma ceos wouldn’t make it to public executions, they’d be shot on sight.
do you remember any succesfull invasion perpetrated solely by the brits in the last 100 years? would it look like a charge of the light brigade? how can they train ukrainians when not even oldest brits remember any succesful british invasion.
it’s past due time to give it to the uk inbreds…
what a joke. the “anglo programms” are bullshit.. the anglos are only efective killing civillians from the sky reducing small countries to ashes. that losers are experts in nothing and even shepards with knives and long bears can beat them. this “training” would be unuseful even training a competent army, but ukro land has not even that since autum 2022. all that the ukro failed state can do is terrorist attacks for killing civilians here and there, while diying slowly as a state.
if they keep training the ukrainians like in this “counter offensive” till now , the russians must not worry too much. it seems : 90% waste time on war propaganda , illusionary war computer games and beaurocracy and 10% really military training.
ukrainians should cry not to be trained by the west any longer…they have better chances on their own.
a penisulá ucraniana da crimeia, está isolada, a rússia não falar para a mídia, todas as pontes esta sendo destruída, ninguém entrar e ninguém sai.
portugese pirate troll? portugal – a country built by a jewish slave traders. all of your national heros are just pirates, marrauders and criminals. even catholic church in portugal is a heap of bandits and opus dei scumbags.
idiots who pour brandy into wine.
it would be great if all countries could just “work on themselves” this year.
ukronazis would spend their “work on themselves year” committing mass suicide in front of russian armed forces who are basically spectators. strangely i agree with your snowflakish comment…
the u.k. absolutely detest russia for quite a long time as they took their power away within europe. now, the english government is just a pathetic loser trying once again to start a war and pushing the u.s. to join in. same old playbook from losers.
eh, russia and britain have been allies for about 50% of coin flips. just something about the way they manage the country with dickensian brass levers and are now doing austerity on life.
britain is like america, disingenuous, depraved and duplicitous.
friends today and enemies tomorrow.
america originate in britain, not vice versa. apple does not fall far from its trunk.
england, like the u.s. for that matter, brings in allies only when it suits their needs particularly against countries that could destroy them. without going too far back, ww2 when they used russia to defeat germany (and when done, the u.s. claimed victory) and only a few years after, they formed nato and made russia their enemy even when russia wanted to be an ally of the group. by the way, ww2 started simply because germany refused a rothchild banking system. all the rest is bs.
so the monkey island morons are training some 2.000 ukros for crimea recapture?
hahahahahhaaaaa
russia should load a big ship full of ammo, ak74, svds, rpg7, rocket launchers and handgrenades, ship it to sevastopol and hand out a full battle ready set to all crimean man between 18-65years, what should be at least some 300.000 man.
than let the ukros come to try to recapture crimea.
more expendable ukrainian crash test dummies to help the usa figure out russia’s defences. get a move on rus, and take out this puppet nazi government in kiev before they can send any more suicidal suckers to the uk. for a country that fought fascism in ww2, losing hundreds of thousands of people in the process, this ongoing military support for a nazi regime is an utterly shameful episode in uk history.
they should train to retake freedom for the country they are training in: that would be a better use of time and resources 😁
really a funny joke this story. it reminds me of the movie der untergang. i almost finish working for today and i needed a good laugh.
the toads from the marshlands of little briton will always croak when the piss in the air rains down on them.
crimea was a gift from ukrainian soviet leader nikita sergeyevich khrushchev. it was annexed in 1954 as well as western russian lands to slav brother ukraine.
unfortunately in the course of time, these big holes had stabbed brother in the back, and thus, forfeit their rights to russian ancient lands.
i’m not sure if any of you saw the tank battle on one of the telegram channels.
the khokhols were uk trained, i believe there were 8 ukrop vehicles 4 tanks and 4 bradleys. this sole russian tank singlehandedly destroyed them all. it was like nothing i’ve ever seen before, it was amazing bravery against all odds.
and these c**ts still want to fight the russians.
anyone seen a challenger tank yet lol!!
seems to me england will find themselves at the end of their own rope soon.
aviation, navy and ground forces? what aviation does ukraine have? what navy? what ports? and what routes to crimea do they have on the ground, since the surrounding terrain is controlled by russia? this planned offensive on crimea sounds like a hoax.
you’re right 😀 it’s called wishful thinking 😂😂😂
wishful thinking propaganda by british and ukronazi terrorists. cheaper than an actual military campaign.
hey ukies ! you got owned by a bunch of ex-cons, led by a pastry chef, armed with assault shovels because their assault rifles ran out of ammunition according to western media sources. surrender and maybe you’ll be spared, ha ha ha !!!
so all nato training does is teach soldiers how to die, lol !!! where have nato trained soldiers ever done anything except surrender or run ?
rhetorical question. rumor is, this is just a rumor by the way, that the french tanks, shoot out a white flag that says “we surrender” and then the onboard gps then disables the main gun and directs itself to the russian army where it can be collected in perfect condition.
you sir just won yourself a ukronazi edition used amx 10 rc. enjoy, makes for a good beer fridge during those long summer days.
think, what other factors will be brought into play to facilitate a british led invasion of crimea? what other nations will be active? diversions, sabotage, what other things will come into play, this wont be occurring on its own. do not sit and prepare but attack, attack what, attack who? attack everything and everyone and prepare to bring down every hostile force.
be prepared to attack everything at once but first do warning shots on nato hq brussels, on the prime military targets in other nations, on the decision making centers. china and nk and iran all need to be prepared to attack simultaneously.
defend everywhere at once and everyone at once and have nukes alerted and nuke the other sides nukes.
russia china iran africa there is a war going on against all of you and against the citizens of the warmongering nations.
the us ships on the aegean sea are playing a big part in setting this up with subs and underwater capable sea drones and more mines? several dozen shells were found on turkeys shores.
kedy asi tak dôjde trpezlivosť ruským vojskám z neustálych provokácii ktoré voči nim vede zločinecká teroristická organizácia nato? myslím, že ten čas sa blíži.
uk soldiers should train to take out the eugenicists responsible for killing all their people with their criminal depopulation medical procedure. grow some ballz u useless cowards. borrow a pair or have a pair sewed on by those dr mengele physicians you have over there. wake up. now is the time to fight back against tyranny.
ukraine troops storm russian trenches in bakhmut counteroffensive,
a single 800mt yars hitting leeds will dose my hood with enough radiation to fry my chicken in the fridge freezer for me. if i do survive, the car surely won’t start, and trying to head to cumbria would be pointless and the air base and tank base on the way up will be radioactive crators not so easy to just ‘walk around’ either. stupid bankster run government, nothing to gain, everything to loose levels of insanity. bloody masons, gone mad bugger insane!
would it not be more effective to show them how to dig their own graves?
ukraine could not retake donbas from farmers in 9 years of war against the ukrainian population living there, what makes you think they can do any better now?
you can arm a monkey to the teeth, even train it to do tricks. but in reality its still just an armed monkey with no greater intelligence than an unarmed monkey.
im saying ukrainians are dumb as fuck at the best of times, and even worse soldiers.
