Emergency briefing of the head of Donetsk People’s Republic Militia Eduard Basurin on the situation on 10.12.2018
I would like to make the following statement. Our intelligence obtained irrefutable evidence about the Armed Forces of Ukraine AFU preparation to attack us at the direction of Mariupol. The information obtained from reliable sources fully reveals the plans of the Ukrainian security forces.
The purpose of this planned attack is to seize the territory of Novoazovsky and Telmanovsky districts and establish control over the section of the border between the DPR and Russia in the area of villages Konkovo and Kholodnoye.
The enemy offensive strike group has been already formed in total of more than 12 thousand people. It’s concentrated along the line of contact near the village of Novotroitskoe, Shirokino, and Rovnopol.
The strike group consists of more than 50 tanks, 40 multiple launch rocket systems, 180 guns and mortars, all are concentrated here at this location.
The first echelon consists of the 128th Mountain Assault and 79th Assault brigades. The second echelon includes the 56th Infantry Brigade and the 36th Marine Brigade.
The basis of the artillery group consists of two divisions of The 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade “Sumy” and a rocket division of the 15th artillery regiment. In addition, 12 units of MLRS “Smerch” of the 40th Artillery Brigade had been urgently transferred to the area of the village Volodarskoye.
In the reserve of this strike group tactical group “Mariupol” is deployed consisting of the 73rd Naval Special Purpose Center from Ochakiv (the US Navy base) of about 500 troops, in addition to two self-propelled howitzer battalions of the 1st and 406th Artillery Brigades.
The functions of a detachments assigned to the bandits of the Azov regiment.
According to the plan of the Ukrainian command, on the morning of December 14th, after artillery preparation, the advance elements of the 128th and 79th brigades will to go on the offensive from the line of Granite — Shirokino in the direction of village Klinkino with the task to get to the state border of the DPR near villages Konkovo and Holodnoe, by the end of December 15th.
For further development of this offensive operation and to cover the advancing units of the 79th Brigade, the second echelon of this strike group consisting the 56th infantry brigade is planed to enter the battle at the direction of Primorskoe — Shevchenko in the direction of the village Klinkino.
To disrupt the command and operational control of our troops possible subversive actions will be carried out by the forces of the “Mariupol” tactical group.
After completion of the operation on the occupied territory, the forces of the Nazi regiment ” Azov” and also raid units of the 36th brigade of the Marine corps, it is planned to conduct ethnic cleansing of the occupied villages from “undesirable,” in their opinion,” elements ” and those opponents of the Ukrainian occupation.
The command of this criminal enterprise assigned to a war criminal Moisuk, who has been bestowed upon a rank of general on December 6th for his dedication to Poroshenko.
As an excuse for this armed aggression, (the Kiev regime) will use a terror attack committed by the Ukrainian special services in Mariupol. This will take place a few days before the planned invasion and will carried out against one of the industrial production facilities by explosion of a chemical storage.
It is possible that (this will be done) with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles adapted for dumping mines and hand grenades.
As a result, there expected to be a release of toxic substances. According to the information available to us, which is now being checked, the sabotage is planned at the Ilyich Iron and Steel Works Metallurgical Plant of Mariupol. The large stocks of ammonia stored there for an industrial production. In the case of a terror attack, the area of possible contamination can be up to 15 square kilometers.
The area of contamination will cover a part of Mariupol with a population of about 50 thousand people.
In the future, Poroshenko’s regime plans to lay on the Donetsk Republic all responsibility for this terror act. These actions will be accompanied by hysteria in the Ukrainian media, designed to convince the Ukrainians and the international community that the unleashing aggression against us is “just and justifiable.”
Obviously, Kiev expects that in these circumstances the issue of gross violation of the Minsk agreements by the OSCE will not be raised and the international community will once again close its eyes to the bloody crimes of Poroshenko’s regime.
It is no coincidence that the date of completion of the operation of the Ukrainian military is December 15th. Apparently, Poroshenko cannot wait for his schismatic meeting, which he announced to take place on the same day, to report to the schismatics, in fact, to the traitors of Ukrainian people, which he himself is, about his military “victories.”
Actually, this is the main reason for the provocation conceived by the Kiev authorities, in spite of everything to demonstrate PEREMOGA. Because Naev and Moisuk, seeking to curry favor, don’t feel sorry for soldiers to carry out criminal orders of his president.
The DPR calls on the OSCE observers to pay attention to the military preparations of the AFU and stop the aggression.
I appeal to the residents of Mariupol. Brothers and sisters, be vigilant. In case we fail to prevent the SBU diversion, do not panic. Stay calm.
Try in the period from December 11th to 14th not to be near industrial facilities that store chemicals like chlorine, ammonia and others. Take care of your children. They are the least protected in these conditions.
Strangely enough as it will sound, I urge the Ukrainian police to increase vigilance and try to prevent the terrorist acts planned by SBU. Remember, you do not serve the criminals who came to power as a result of a coup, you serve the people of Ukraine.
In conclusion I will add that the People’s Militia of the DPR is ready to meet uninvited guests. We will protect our citizens! The enemy will not pass!
looks like it is it. Sure this time they are going to attack the Republics.
let see what happens.
Let us hope,
that the long needed happens, i.e Putin is given the chance to take Mariupol and Berdiansk, which should have happened 4 years ago.
I dream of Red Army taking all the regions where Poroshenko implied the extraordinary measures, or at least makes it to the Dnepro river banks.
Some special troops should also enter Kiev and hunt for Poroshenko and the other war criminals in power.
Indeed,
some denazification of the masses in the rest of the broken country (especially Lvov) would surely help to heal the pain of suffering!
You think Putin has the right to take over half of Ukraine, that is not right. Why doesn’t ukraine have the right to defend its territorial sovereignty?
Alan
Ukraine is being ran by a US CIA puppet government. US is trying to provoke Russia to attack Ukraine.. Crimea voted to be part of Russia with is was for years. Russia had established naval base in Crimea and is not going to give it up .
What Putin and what half of Ukraine, dude? You think nearly 3 million people living in Novorussia came there from Russia 4 years ago? Really?

Globalists do not have much time on their side, bearing in mind the state of Western finances. The economic rise of Eurasia was never part of their plans. Trump tried his luck against North Korea by sending his fleet. It did not work out. After that attention has been focused on Iran. However, fighting Iran would be a challenge with questionable outcomes. Attention has now been focused on the Donbass. Poroshenko the puppet does not have too much time left. He will almost certainly attack the Donbass. Even he knows that the outcome might be questionable. He has wisely sold all of his assets in Ukraine, preparing to flee if things turn out bad, as they certainly will, bearing in mind that the bulk of his Army is made up of demoralized conscripts who have no desire to be there in the first place.
It is extremely interesting to note the quality of the ‘Intel’ that this report covers.
It is also interesting to compare this with the previous reports of both American and British services being stationed in the Ukraine. Could this be the initial reason why the Ukrainian Fleet sailed into Russian waters?
What I also find very interesting is the fact that the ‘Kiev’ side want civilian casualties while the Donetsk are warning civilians of exactly where the fighting is going to take place.
Again is this pre-Christmas present supposed to draw Russia into the conflict? Apparently there is to be no good tidings and joy to all men on earth this year.
So the Kiev creatures’ cunning plan is to drive forward to reach the Russian frontier, and take possession of a stretch of it.
Hmmmm….
Anyone see any possible tactical drawbacks to that?
Clue: Shirokino itself is probably within range of Russian MLRS positioned near the border.
This information should be on the Zero Hedge site.
Zero Hedge is Jewish Mafia disinformation trash.
@_smr,
Are you aware, that ZH publishes articles of The Saker quite regularly?
Besides that, I don’t consider all articles there as trash. Some are, ok. Well, quite some ZH articles are even in the Webmasters News feed on this site.
OT: I agree that this info of Southfront is worth to reach a far broader public.
Cheers, Rob
Totally agree with you, Rob.
Years ago I found Saker through a comment on an article on ZH.
ZH is constructed for business, and uses geopolitical issues to attract readers.
It’s commenters are 50% Jew-haters. So, it certainly is not part of the Jew-Conspiracy.
It’s a fairly good aggregator of news and opinion pieces. Some of it is junk. Some crassly hype.
But it carries many very valuable articles.
And it does not Censor or Edit or Abridge the material.
It’s one of the few resources on the Internet.
That 50% joo haters you refer to isn’t accurate unless you consider anyone who has it figured out a joo hater. I go to ZH every day and would consider 80% more accurate. That hater thing is just some crap the MSM has planted in your skull.
Hardly. However, there is a companion article on ZH now. A picture of Russian tanks on a Russian Depot in Russia, near Rostov. One of the commenters says it is a repair depot, which seems plausible. The close-up satellite view shows rows of old-looking tanks, perhaps from the Soviet era. And it has some hysterical bleatings of a military representative from Kiev. It actually lends credence to Mr. Basurin’s remarks above.
In the really big picture, the view from space, all you have to do is look at a map. Who has the longer supply lines? Who doesn’t understand history? It is obvious where the advantage lies in this confrontation. But of course, the warmongers at NATO are eager to justify their existence.
… ZeroHedge has always been willing to publish articles which do not reflect the views of the AZE. This may not have been one of them, but ZH resembles this site in that the comments frequently contain useful information.
@smr
“Zero Hedge is Jewish Mafia trash.” Only an imbecille merely calls names without back up evidence. Provide evidence or STFU!
The information here is of a level of detail such that it could only have been supplied to the republics by Russian intelligence. The naval incident was an obvious precursor of some action. Clearly the Russians hope that this revelation, and related mobilization, can spoil the imminent operation.
The Republics have informers who supply intel, apart from Russia, since many in the enemy’s area do not want war, and are doing their bit, which is very commendable of them.
Not to belabor a point, but they apparently have the enemy order of battle, distribution of units, operational orders, assignments for their special forces, and even a D-day. Now, it’s possible the Republics have a man inside the enemy staff, but strategic aerial reconnaissance and signals intelligence seem more likely. Those don’t tend to be in the capability set of a statelet.
The talk of Russians fighting the Ukrainians directly is just self-reassuring propaganda by the Western nations, but one should not be naive in thinking these Republics stand alone and unsupported.
Thanks! I struggled with this briefing at the present Cafe Saker…and spoke to the content… My perception at first consideration is that the outcome of the military enterprise in quo cannot benefit the nazis…but will result in their sequestering outside of Novorussia…and ultimately, reunification with Ru…
We shall, presumably, see about that…
Consider in context “dead rat island” https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/446136-predatory-lending-respectability-way/
Best, and, again, Thanks!
Ammonia sabotage may create a massive explosion, NH3 is fuel in a/f … The a/f aspect depends on many variables..
I posted in part this remark at Cafe “I see the plan includes near Maripol a large uncontrolled release of NH2… Ammonia is combustible in air and large release is, I have been told when I worked with large (>100,000 L ) tanks of the stuff, that a release could/would create an air-fuel explosion on the order of a “small nuclear bomb”. In reality I expect not that big, but it depends on time of ignition and time to mix and so on, but big enough for the nazis I am sure.”
You are right about the Ammonia being explosive i think, the zionist entity got really scared when Hezbollah threatened to blow up theirs unless the occupants of Palestine behaved..
It is this way:
“The combustion of ammonia to nitrogen and water is exothermic:
4 NH3 + 3 O2 → 2 N2 + 6 H2O (g) ΔH°r = −1267.20 kJ/mol (or −316.8 kJ/mol if expressed per mol of NH3)
The standard enthalpy change of combustion, ΔH°c, expressed per mole of ammonia and with condensation of the water formed, is −382.81 kJ/mol. Dinitrogen is the thermodynamic product of combustion: all nitrogen oxides are unstable with respect to N2 and O2, which is the principle behind the catalytic converter. Nitrogen oxides can be formed as kinetic products in the presence of appropriate catalysts, a reaction of great industrial importance in the production of nitric acid:
4 NH3 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O
A subsequent reaction leads to NO2
2 NO + O2 → 2 NO2
The combustion of ammonia in air is very difficult in the absence of a catalyst (such as platinum gauze or warm chromium(III) oxide), because the temperature of the flame is usually lower than the ignition temperature of the ammonia–air mixture. The flammable range of ammonia in air is 16–25%.[25] ”
see wiki on ammonia.
Properly mixed in air at STP explosive ignition is achievable, trust the boffins.
It is not a matter of opinion.
see also http://www.ammoniaenergy.org/tag/nh3-turbine/
and http://www.ammoniaenergy.org/ammonia-fueled-gas-turbine-power-generation/
Of course if it does not combine with other suitable materials, then it simply boils away, but anybody caught downwind is more or less dead.
a combustion cloud is called a “BLEVE” and is an explosive event for practical purposes.
NH3 tank with small ullage is a great and powerful concentration of latent energy, and obviously a target in wartime, albeit prohibited under various laws of war.
It is a matter of opinion, but I expect that some triggering ordnance can be designed to include catalyzing CrO3 – perhaps the Russian forensic chemists will have an opportunity to study “CrO3 augmented BLEVE in NH3 – O2”. I have no knowledge of such a development, but it seems possible to my eye.
The unreacted cloud alone is plenty cruel and deadly. I have worked with the stuff in industrial situations, tanks of 100,000 L and more. In fact I have worked inside the tanks themselves in air-supplied “safety suits”, and with very satisfactory rates of pay.
The bigger problem is the toxicity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia#Toxicity
An NH3 release from both pressurized an/or atmospheric tanks may cause a jet release or may cause a pancake shaped poisonous, dehydrating, tissue dissolving cloud. Question is: is it a liquid release or a vapor / gaseous release. The severity is much elevated if it is a liquid release. The cryogenic Boiling liquid will freeze the air surrounding the release. It then hugs the ground and kills everything on its path.Liquid Anhydrous Ammonia will dry out all the moisture from the skin and exposed tissues elevating the temperature at same time. Best thing to do is to jump into a bathtub full of water. Still, unless one has a Scott Air Pack or a Scuba Diver’s tank c/w respirator ready to be used no one may breathe and live in that Anhydrous Ammonia cloud.
NH3OH occurs in the sweat on your skin when anhydrous (liquid or gas) NH3 touches it. NH3OH is a strong base, the conjugate acid is nitric… Imagine taking a bath in a strong solution of drain opener or lye…or battery acid. Ammonia is worse.
In the lungs…well…death comes painfully and quick
When atmospheric traces are about, as in a leaky reefer plant (in my day I used to play hooky at such a plant where a pal and I would drink beer and chat in a hidden room the maintenance guys had clandestinely created)…in my day the stuff would get into the sweat under the arms…just whiffs of it…and begin to make chemical caustic burns.
Interesting science fair types sometimes immerse a dollar bill in liquid NH3 and cycle it in and out. Each time the bill shrinks. Until a dollar is a bout 1/4 the original size. Dramatic!
Try spending one!
I assume it would shrink the bodies similarly.
This is so disturbing and yet predictable. I saw this coming miles away. The Anglo-American-Zio death machine is at the heart of this. Poroshenko wouldn’t have the balls to try any of this unless he had guarantees of help. I don’t know how this can become anything but mass slaughter. As far as I know, the republics don’t have such armaments to defend themselves. There may be a hope to suck Russia into this but I can’t understand how Russia cannot step in and put an end to this. If they don’t they will have NATO in full war mode knocking on their door. The Empire, destroyer of nations is not going to stop unless they are stopped. I am so sick of hearing these Trump lackeys saying how great he is and how many wonderful things he has done. He is swimming in blood as much as his predecessors.
I need to speak with Father Andrew because I don’t know what words to pray at this moment.
” I can’t understand how Russia cannot step in and put an end to this.”
According to a Finn named Petri Krohn (of whom I know zilch), but who is published in The Duran from time to time:
Quote:
NATO has chosen Mikhail Khodorkovsky to set up government-in-exile, … and claim to be the legitimate president of Russia. He will then ask Western governments for diplomatic recognition…. (the) palace coup d’état will take place not in Moscow but at the UN headquarters in New York. US security guards will remove the Russian ambassador and replace him with Khodorkovsky or his stooge….(just as)…in February 2011 the Libyan Chargé d’Affaires Ibrahim Dabbashi – after first resigning – took up the position of the Libyan ambassador and requested an emergency meeting of the Security Council… (wherupon) the Security Council passed UNSC Resolution 1970 in effect confiscating all $100 billion dollars worth of Libya’s foreign assets.
Khodorkovsky’s usurpation of power will not happen today, not yet. The NATO plan will only be put to motion once the first Russian troops overtly enter Ukrainian territory.
/ end quote.

Notice how he said : “The NATO plan will only be put to motion once the first Russian troops overtly enter Ukrainian territory.”
I have no way of verifying if what he wrote carries any weight or water; but, if this is the game that’s been going on in Ukraine for the past 3, 4 years, it could account for a few things that don’t seem to make much sense otherwise.
I so agree with every word you say, Craig Mouldey. I don’t know what to do or how to pray either. I need so much help to live with the specter of this horror. Dear God, please help us!
We can hope and pray that the dam bursts and the Ukies and NATO go for the Russian border.
There will be great casualties and collateral damage and civilian losses.
Certainly, there is a propaganda and Infowar campaign ready to demonize Russia as soon as the shooting starts.
Expect news to be cutoff. Expect MSM to be fed false flags.
And expect the US to airlift troops to save Kiev from total destruction.
How far into Donbass the Ukies will be drawn and then encircled in a boiler is to be discovered.
The poor, hapless conscripts of Ukraine–pray for these guys that they get a chance to surrender swiftly.
They are true cannon fodder for the godless criminals of Kiev, Brussels and DC.
One thing for certain, the Donbass Army is not capable of holding back in this zone. They will strategically retreat and maneuver in ways to sucker the Ukies.
Another Debaltsevo will be the result.
May the spirits of Givi, Motorola and Zakh be with the bravehearts of Donbass!
yes Larchmonter – may their spirits be with the bravehearts of Donbass – men and women and children.

Based on past history IE, the many false scares of ATO attack this seems as though it’s just another successful Psy Op. Given that the MO of the primary advising power (USA) is that of bluff designed to attrit their adversary, I’m surprised to see this possibility is not discussed. A great example of calling this bluff while being fully prepared JIC it wasn’t is North Korea,
This sounds like a reasonable plan from their point of view. If they do implement it, the ball will, once again, be in Moscow’s court.
Minsk, anyone? It’s been a while since the last one.
No doubt now the israeloamerican Kerch provocation was part of a larger op, an expansion of the psywar/hybrid war against Russia and her friends. And not just in ukraine, but worldwide.
War Preparations? Large US Military Drill Simulates Forcible Entry Operation
https://sputniknews.com/military/201812101070565868-war-preparation-forcible-entry-operation/
“The US Air Force conducted a large drill to simulate an invasion of foreign territory in Nevada over the weekend.
A slew of cargo-carrying C-17 and C-130 aircraft were detected flying in a “conga line” for an exercise called Joint Forcible Entry 18, which took place in the southwest region of the US, The Drive reports. The point of the drill is to rehearse an operation in which air and ground forces cross into foreign territory en masse and set up shop against an armed, world-class adversary.”
Given the desert terrain they practiced in, this was more likely preparations for invading a country in the West Asia or North or East Africa. Also, given the extreme vulnerability of such a “conga line” of transports to modern long and medium range AD, not to mention fighter aircraft, the claim this would be used against a “world class adversary”, who could defend their air space in nonsense.
Regarding ukraine, the u.s./nato could move several thousand troops there quickly by air lift in an op such as this, provided a ukronazi invasion of Novorussia hasn’t triggered the sort of Russian response we saw to the israeloamerican invasion of South Ossetia.
Had the Russians killed ukrainian crew/destroyed boats at Kerch, as no doubt tel aviv/dc hoped, this ukronazi build up would be invading. Since the Kerch provocation fizzled, I think the zionazi-gays will have to stage something additional now. This, no doubt, is in the works.
Isn’t that reset of Russian relations, that trump sold before his (s)election, wonderful?
I even wondered if it was a psy-op when – the Kerch Strait episode happened – the same day Israel invaded Lebanon – I wondered if Russia was being pulled (mildly) in two directions from the same monster – Ukraine and Israel –
“Also, given the extreme vulnerability of such a “conga line” of transports to modern long and medium range AD, not to mention fighter aircraft, the claim this would be used against a “world class adversary”, who could defend their air space in nonsense.”
I’m not so sure. Doesn’t that scenario describe Syria exactly, or at least the area where the US has a presence? I would assume they also have means to defend said “conga line” already in place and probably have made the Russian side well aware of where they (the Russians) must not interfere.
Just wondering if the intel from Ukraine, how ever real (and possibly going to be acted upon) may actually a diversion from the US now deciding to go “all-in” where they have been steadily loosing ground since Russia arrived on the scene.
Jean-Pierre, Canada
Presumably the whole point of this will be to finally get Russia drawn into the conflict in a full-scale fashion.
I feel sorry for the Ukrainian units who will be effectively used as bait in this process. The response from Russia, should it be required, will be devastating and thousands will die.
Nah….this detailed plan preempts most of its implementation. The enemy knows they have been outed and has lost the element of surprise.
I will pray for the children and their defenders.
It breaks my heart that my corrupt American government is responsible for this. I apologize to Russia, Ukraine and decent, thinking people who understand what’s happening.
Expect a diversion somewhere else to sow confusion. Maybe near Lugansk? The regular type sailors and soldiers really don’t seem eager to martyr themselves for the glory of Ukraine so one might well expect some for-contract, maybe dual citizen special forces to play a big part in this grotesque theater of the abyss.
The people of Mariupol will be held hostage as human shields; if so. Brace yourself for tsunami of lies.
some Somalian mercenaries maybe ? or — – some Sauds (rhymes with clods) but no – Sauds never do the frontline thing – but their hired merks do – from all over the world – Israeli army is very diverse
If those Fascists attack again they need a final lesson,and if that means Russia getting involved so be it,take the whole Azov coastline,and stop caring what the US and Nato thinks,how many times does this need to happen,we had that Georgian idiot getting out of his cage,i have no doubt those Kiev Nazis will try and do what the Croats did in Krijina,that must not be an option.
Больщенство людей из Украины, ждут когда украинская армия придет в Киев и разрушит ВРУ. Вы думаете что мы счастливы? Нет! Большенство против украинского насилия….. Против Порошенко….. Но увы, не в силах изменить….
Let it be said loud and clear: poroshitko is a jew, who cares nothing for the Donbass people, and he is an out-and-out war criminal. Let God’s judgement be on his head sooner than later.
Very troubling indeed. I agree that this outing could impede the implementation of this plan. I think they should move RT/Sputnik/Bartlett and the few remaining decent journalists in asap. Moreover I sincerely hope Putin will ‘hold’ (i.e. no covert reaction). Like in braveheart/outlaw king. It’s terrifying to ‘hold’, but think of Tsun Zu. I just read the maritime strategy for the northern flank of Nato (recently posted here), and the level of imbicility is mind boggling. Saker’s metaphor of the monkey with the grenade is pretty spot on. I’m glad there are adult’s in the room in the RF.
Why would a military command tell the world a couple of days in advance their plans are? Only the CIA would induce such stupidity, or at best, making it clear that the U.S. needs to be involved in yet another unending war?
Not being that well informed about maters military, I apologize if this comment seems ill-informed and wrong at this (potential) juncture. I wonder if this now would not be the perfect moment for Russia to provide a demonstration of their new missile technology? A preemptive strike the moment agressive activity is detected, including (especially) near or on “Ochakiv (the US Navy base)”.
Would anyone with knowledge/expertise please respond as to why this would (or not) be a good strategy?
