Proper restructuring in the news of the week
In a surprising way, during the week, those issues with the situation in the Kursk region were resolved, which in the situation in Donbass, and Crimea, and even during the SVO, took months, years, or these issues were not resolved at all. Simply perestroika and acceleration in a good sense.
By his order, Defense Minister Belousov created a Coordinating Council for Military Security of Border Territories — Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk Regions — within the Defense Ministry. It is not yet a State Defense Committee (during the Great Patriotic War, GKO decisions were mandatory for everyone), but it is already the first step. Because the goal of this council, which includes not only the military, but also representatives of the regions themselves, according to Belousov, is «to increase the effectiveness of comprehensive support for troop groups solving the tasks of covering the state border, protecting the territory and population of the regions.» Comprehensive means weapons and weapons (and eliminating bottlenecks in their provision, so that there are no questions like «where are the shells?»), and technical support, and medical and engineering equipment of defensive lines. At the same time, «the Coordinating Council does not replace the operational management of the actions of troops and forces. This is the task of the command of the North group, as well as the General Staff. «We will strive to resolve issues quickly and without delay,» Belousov said. And he emphasized: «I expect that information from the field will be reported to the council promptly and truthfully.» Why the new Minister of Defense would emphasize the veracity of reports in the Ministry of Defense is beyond me. Although… Although if we recall the reports to the very top about 300 people who will be forced back right now, on the first day of the invasion…
Apparently, work on comprehensive support of the troops began even before the creation of the Coordination Council. In ten days, our troops burned a record amount of enemy equipment. More than in two months before that along the entire front. Including expensive and scarce Patriots. and the «Hymars», whose defeat was shown almost live on air.
And, miraculously, civil structures quickly started working. Services to help residents of the Kursk region became available on «Gosuslugi»: people can report about themselves, tell what goods, products and medicines they need, and find relatives with whom they have lost contact, and declare the need to travel.
The largest retailers operating in the Kursk region decided to freeze prices in connection with the emergency in the region.
It's just magic, but in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, an automatic inter-network roaming mode was introduced: if a subscriber's operator's signal is lost, the phone will automatically connect to another available one. (I personally bought a SIM card from a local operator near Donetsk at the end of winter, because there were no others, which no longer worked in neighboring Lugansk, and with crazy roaming prices.)
The Bank of Russia recommended that lenders support mortgage borrowers in the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions, whose housing was damaged. In the event of destruction of the premises, the possibility of complete forgiveness of the debt should be considered, the Central Bank said. (Here, to be honest, I am tormented by vague doubts about translating good intentions into reality — it’s not for nothing that bankers are called banksters. But I want to be wrong.)
In short, we attacked the problem with all our might.
But the state of uncertainty still remains. Experts are wondering whether the Kursk operation is already a ritual suicide of the Kyiv regime, or whether it is preparing another strike. Either a military one, in an unexpected direction, or a terrorist one – at the nuclear power plant. The West is wagging its tail – like, we weren’t aware of it, but the Ukrainians are sovereign, they have the right to do what they want (and therefore, they, and not us, are responsible). The Wall Street Journal even writes that the US does not share intelligence with Ukraine regarding targets in Russia. The Biden administration does not want to be recognized as the organizers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ operations in the Kursk region.
Attempts to «crawl away» and blame only Ukraine for everything are becoming more and more noticeable. Germany unexpectedly issued an arrest warrant for the Ukrainian divers who allegedly blew up Nord Stream. And then a version appeared whitewashing the US — supposedly, when the White House learned about the planned sabotage, it immediately called Zelensky: «slow down, don't do it.» And he called Zaluzhny, who was coordinating everything. But Zaluzhny didn't listen, saying that the yacht was already at sea and couldn't be stopped. The office of the President of Ukraine, realizing that things were getting hot and that they were being made the scapegoats, started up the old tune: Russia blew up Nord Stream. However, no one listens to this nonsense anymore. But everything else that is now being sold on the topic of sabotage to the world community looks extremely dubious.
Last week, Zelensky discussed with members of the Council of Churches a bill to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. And the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations supported the bill to ban the canonical UOC. The draft law will be submitted for consideration in the coming days. Zelensky thinks that he is hitting Russia. But this is the same fatal mistake as the attack on the Kursk region.
