UAWire - Russia sends out to sea all Black Sea fleet submarines

Russia sends out to sea all Black Sea fleet submarines
Friday, March 19, 2021 12:00:59 PM

Russia, for the first time, has sent out to sea all submarines of its Black Sea Fleet, RIA Novosti reports.

According to RIA Novosti, not a single submarine remained at the base.

"This is an unprecedented case, which has not taken place previously either in the fleets of the Russian Federation, or in the fleets of foreign states," the agency quotes a senior officer of the Black Sea Submarine Brigade, 1st Rank Captain Anatoly Varochkin.

Varochkin said that such a format for carrying combat tasks is completely new, clarifying that all six Russian submarines are working at sea to perform different tasks.

Island-class ships of the Border police coast guard department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs participated in the joint naval maneuvers – “Dioscuria” and “Ochamchire,” and the ships of NATO’s second permanent naval unit “REGINA MARIA” (Romania), “KEMALREIS” (Turkey) and “SMELI” (Bulgaria).

“The aim of the training is to increase the level of interoperability between the naval units of Georgia and the member and partner countries of the Alliance.

“In parallel with the coronavirus pandemic, the visit of NATO’s second permanent naval unit to Georgia is a clear message of support for our country,” the Ministry said. “It is important that NATO naval visits to Georgia’s Black Sea ports are regular, which is one of the tangible results of NATO-Georgia cooperation in strengthening Black Sea security.
The joint training is being carried out in full compliance with the recommendations of the National Center for Disease Control in Georgia,” the statement reads.

You can tell which are going to turn "real" and which are just part of the dance, and will require further ignition sources: Yup, this one is gonna be real real. Not sure how many of the other hot spots will combust in sympathy, but I'd not be surprised if this was the start of many fires all across the globe. Fortunately, I just serve the coffee n pop the corn :eek:

Yeah, starting to believe this too. Just speaking with my soon to be draft age son about his options if the balloon goes up. He's not thrilled about working for Harris/Biden. A shame his asthma just flared up....

In the Black Sea Fleet there are mainly "Varshavyankas" - they carry tactical "Calibers" and not intercontinental "Bulavas". These are hunters for other submarines and ships, not strike cruisers. It is not known who in America is now responsible for the nuclear button.

Ukraine approves strategy to “recover” Crimea, threatening all-out war with Russia - World Socialist Web Site (wsws.org)

Ukraine approves strategy to “recover” Crimea, threatening all-out war with Russia
Jason Melanovski
17 hours ago

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced this week that the country’s National Security and Defense Council had approved a strategy that is aimed at retaking Crimea and reintegrating the strategically important peninsula.
Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea, was annexed by Russia in March 2014, following a US-backed, far-right coup in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

Map of the Black Sea region

Announcing the move on Twitter, Kuleba wrote, “The signal is clear: we don’t just call on the world to help us return Crimea, Ukraine makes its own dedicated and systemic efforts under President [Volodymyr] Zelensky’s leadership.”
As part of its “3 pillars” strategy for retaking Ukraine, Kuleba notably stated that Zelensky’s administration sought “full Ukrainian sovereignty” over not just Crimea but that of the port city of Sevastopol as well, which serves as the home of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet.

Following Kuleba’s comments, Ukrainian President Zelensky announced via Twitter the creation of a Crimean Platform Initiative which the Ukrainian government described as “a new consultative and coordination format initiated by Ukraine to improve the efficiency of the international response to the occupation of Crimea, respond to growing security challenges, step up international pressure on Russia, prevent further human rights violations, protect victims of the occupying power and to achieve the de-occupation of Crimea and its return to Ukraine.”

The first summit of the newly created group is planned to take place in August and Zelensky reported having already spoken with the EU, Canada the United Kingdom and Turkey regarding the group’s creation.

Following the Stalinist dissolution of the Soviet Union, the port of Sevastopol had been leased to Russia by several successive Ukrainian governments. Its potential loss following the US-backed ousting of the President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014 was widely seen as one of the primary motivators in Russia annexing the militarily strategic peninsula.

As Kuleba and Kiev are well aware, any attempt to impose its “full sovereignty” over one of the Russian Navy’s most important warm water ports on the Black Sea would result in a full-scale war that threatens the outbreak of a third world war.

On Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova denounced Kuleba’s and Zelensky’s comments as a thinly veiled threat of war over Crimea.

“All efforts by Kiev to reclaim Crimea are illegitimate and cannot be interpreted in any other way but a threat of aggression against two Russian [federal] subjects. We reiterate that we will consider participation of any states or organizations in such activities, including the Crimean Platform initiative, as a hostile act against Russia and direct encroachment on its territorial integrity," Zakharova noted.

Kiev’s escalation of the conflict with Russia over Crimea comes under conditions where the country remains mired in a civil war in eastern Ukraine that has now lasted for almost seven years. The war has claimed the lives of over 14,000 people, displaced 1.4 million and left 3.5 million in need of humanitarian assistance. UNICEF recently noted that millions in the war zone still lack access to clean drinking water and some don’t have regular access to any water, even as COVID-19 cases are again rising sharply across the country.

The move of the Ukrainian government follows a series of anti-Russian political crackdowns and military buildups that have exacerbated the threat of a full-scale war. In February, the Zelensky government undemocratically shut down three popular television stations run by pro-Moscow opposition leader and oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk on the grounds of “national security.” Medvedchuk was later sanctioned and Kiev has continued to charge opposition politicians and reporters with “treason” for backing a negotiated settlement with Moscow over the separatist controlled regions of eastern Ukraine.

The crackdown was predictably condemned by the Kremlin which argued that it demonstrated that Kiev was attempting “to solve the problem of [Donbass in Eastern Ukraine] by force.”

International monitors in eastern Ukraine have also recently reported a rapid increase in the number of ceasefire violations by both Ukrainian soldiers and Russian-backed separatists. This year, already 10 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed.

While Zelensky was initially elected in 2019 on the basis of a rejection of the far-right militaristic nationalism espoused by his predecessor Petro Poroshenko, Zelensky is now adopting a potentially even more reckless strategy. Much indicates that he is being supported in this by the United States.

Last week an op-ed in the Washington Post suggested that Zelensky is desperate to receive a phone call from US President Joe Biden but is yet to receive one. The op-ed backed Zelensky’s recent political crackdowns and urged him to move even more aggressively against Russia.

“Mr. Zelensky now has the opportunity to forge a partnership with Mr. Biden that could decisively advance Ukraine’s attempt to break free from Russia and join the democratic West. He should seize on it,” the paper’s editorial board urged.

Speaking to Politico, a former US official close to the Biden administration was quoted as saying, “There is merit to having Zelensky sit and wait his turn for a call. He is not struggling with all his might to fight corruption. In fact, pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine have gained immense power since Zelensky took over. So there needs to be tough love with Zelensky when that one-on-one conversation does happen.”

Ukraine is highly dependent on military aid and backing from the US in its confrontation with Russia. On Monday, the Pentagon announced a $125 million military aid package for Ukraine, the first distribution of aid to Ukraine under the Biden administration.

There is still $150 million left in the allocated 2021 Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding appropriated by Congress. However, this money will not be released until the Defense and State departments jointly certify that there has been “sufficient progress” made by Kiev on “military reform” efforts.

While Biden has yet to speak with Zelensky, on the seventh anniversary of Russia’s annexation of Crimea the White House released a statement backing Ukraine in the dispute stating, “The United States does not and will never recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula and we will stand with Ukraine against Russia’s aggressive acts.”

In its reckless military escalation, the Zelensky government is also driven by a deep social and political crisis in Ukraine itself. Its political support has fallen sharply as the country’s economy and health care system have been devastated by COVID-19, with no significant vaccination effort in sight. There is a real danger that the Ukrainian ruling class, driven by a deepening domestic crisis, is trying to divert these internal tensions outward, resulting in a war that would threaten the lives of millions.

Is it possible for the Russians to use the Ukraine issue as a falsehood for hostilities with USA.
Russia and China completed joint drills together and could poise a threat to the USA.
Could the Russians use their subs / equipment and China use men.
I mean Russia strikes us with subs and china sends in troops.

I think if we got hit the bidan admin wouldn't do anything about it initially giving time for Chinese troops .
I think bidan would want to talk about it and come to terms.
While other aspects of attack on Usa were being conducted.

Perhaps a hit and they just stand back and watch the American people destroy self.

As we self destruct someday they will take us on.

The Ukrainian Army can over take the rebels now, the question is will Putin intervene if the rebels start getting beat. NATO and Putin are both looking at each other waiting to see what the other one may do. Putin is wondering if NATO will jump in,
