Edition No183 | 09-07-2025 - Strelkov is back, with another warning. This time its about Russia’s Summer Offensive & Mobilization. Today we dive into the prison dispatches of Igor “Strelkov” Girkin — former commander of the Donetsk People’s Republic and now a Kremlin critic (is that the right word to use when thieves and killers fall out with each other?) and is locked away. But not for his actual crimes against innocent people, but for his perceived opposition to Putin’s regime. From his cell, he’s issued a devastating assessment of the Russian military’s performance in Ukraine and commented on the highly anticipated—but faltering—summer campaign. He’ also made recent pronouncements about the ongoing pressures on Putin, which have come into stark focus with the death of Russia’s transport minister yesterday. We’ll examine his insights, Girkin’s critique of Russian strategy and tactics, comparing them with independent reporting, and chart what it means for the war’s next phase.----------PLASMA AND AMBULANCES APPEAL:Please write to: Director Objective Ukraine, [email protected] we do this is a message from a dear friend in Kyvi who works with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence. He says, there is a serious shortage of blood plasma here in Ukraine. He has had several messages from ex-comrades and medics, asking if the Allies can help find much needed plasma for medical stations at various depths behind the 'zero' or frontline. This shortage is killing wounded fighting men and women and, all too often, the medics and ambulance drivers who try to evacuate them.A medic friend who has been saving lives in Ukraine for three years, he says, explained how she lost four medic friends and units sustained several casualties, because of the lack of medical evacuation units, ambulances at the front and plasma. During recent delays in receiving equipment and supplies, one group had to walk out...like WW1 stretcher bearers...during which episode they suffered 50% casualties from enemy drones. Including new solar powered drone variants. We desperately need to find ways to improve casualty survival rates, with basic supplies like plasma that we take for granted outside Ukraine. ----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Channel Support00:54 Igor Kin's Critique of Russian Strategy02:19 Predictions and Analysis of Russian Military Movements04:00 Internal Pressures and Mobilization Issues08:57 Gerkin's Correspondence and Insights12:18 Summary and Final Thoughts----------LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM411kDKNTY&t=548shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9o8_PmLe8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrraSdBxLishttps://t.me/s/strelkoviihttps://jamestown.org/program/russian-mobilization-falls-short-ahead-of-putins-summer-offensive/https://www.euronews.com/2025/07/08/in-an-attempt-to-avoid-mobilisation-kremlin-now-allows-foreigners-to-serve-in-russian-armyhttps://www.dw.com/en/will-russia-launch-another-mobilization-drive/a-64345837https://www.ft.com/content/390fa820-7445-430a-978b-e82c0c5dcdc8https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/30/russia-military-challenges-summer-offensive/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
