Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

fram tills ni hittar något som gynnar er agenda och ska framhäva en sorts poäng ni gör. Hur ska ni ha det?

The situation in the south of Ukraine, that part of the Kherson, Zaporozhye and Mykolaiv regions, is obviously better than in other directions. Both military and humanitarian.

Firstly, the RF Armed Forces went there in the first days with minimal fighting. No damage or casualties. A special regime in most settlements too. The wrecked equipment was partially removed.

Secondly, this is a predominantly agricultural region, so there are no such problems in products. Well, in general, it’s calm there: large steppe spaces, a small population, no sabotage groups.

The people there are not as patriotic as in the north, for example. Well, they did not manage to launch a nationwide mobilization there, as in large cities. In general, here you can see the "Crimean scenario", albeit with a stretch.

It is clear that now the problems are socio-economic and political. People are slowly coming to their senses. He even starts going to work, for example, in the housing and communal services sector.

As I already wrote, there is quite a lot of food in the village, but it needs to be delivered and sold. For a long time there was a big problem with fuel. It was not possible to get approval for its transportation in any way. Now they are bringing in a little. Some gas stations have started to work, although of course there are long queues. The cost is 40-50 UAH per liter. The course is not clear now, well, consider under 100 rubles.

The humanitarian aid is brought in and it scatters. There is no hunger, as I said, markets and supermarkets are open. But the products are expensive, people have a minimum of money. Therefore, crowds gather in advance at the distribution.

Now the problem is with finances. In the course of the hryvnia, but it is difficult to withdraw from the card. Working ATMs are rare. Supermarkets have come up with a cash-out scheme through the checkout. In the near future, a transition to the ruble is being prepared.

Now the political side. Unofficially, Melitopol became the center of this part. There, work with the population was launched more quickly, an administration headed by Rogov, a former Anti-Maidan activist, was established. In Melitopol and Kherson Russian TV. A radio was organized in Melitopol - mostly music is on the air, plus announcements from the military-civilian administration. Believe me, for work in general, such a moment is a breakthrough. Although in general, of course, they are more oriented towards the Ukrainian media.

Now for the mood in society. There is no direct strong hatred for the Russians. In the queues, both of them are burned, but mainly for specific practical reasons. It is felt that they were waiting in which direction the situation would swing, whether the Russians would remain or the Ukrainians would return. Some even express restrained joy and offer help. Local elites are cautiously watching the fighting in Donbas and will cooperate only if successful. In general, there are few Ukrainian activists. In each city, the backbone is several dozen people. You saw the rallies.

The Russian military at the posts were instructed to introduce themselves as politely as possible and avoid conflicts. If they swear, they ignore them, if they completely rush at them, then they pack them. Well, it’s understandable to lisp with children.

Here, like everything.
