Ukraine’s Guerrilla War Against Russia Is Making Putin Pay Dearly

A Guerrilla War is Being Waged by Ukraine. Here is the Latest: The below list of resistance incidents is almost certainly incomplete. The Ukrainian armed forces have been extremely active in September, having launched counteroffensive operations in Kherson and Kharkiv provinces. Multiple explosions have taken place every day; and there is no doubt that partisans are involved in some, or all, of these activities. For the sake of accuracy, however, I’ve only listed those incidents for which partisans were expressly given credit or for which the armed forces were not.

These caveats notwithstanding, it’s important to note that resistance has shifted almost entirely from non-violent actions to violent actions. In September, there were four non-violent resistance incidents, nine attacks on property, and 25 attacks on collaborators or Russians.

“Partisan warfare making life difficult for the Russians in the so-called “annexed” territories.”

Sooner or later, Russia will lose the “occupation.”

No doubt they will. What’s kind of amazing is how the Ukrainians, with some newer weapons and improved training, have proven to be the superior fighting force. They are better soldiers, with better tactics and certainly vastly more motivated than the invaders, some of whom were led to believe they were in an exercise.

"A Guerrilla War is Being Waged by Ukraine."

That's because their regular army has pretty much been annihilated, isn't it?

As far as losing occupations, that's pretty much what has just happened to the hee-haws and hohos, isn't it?

Here's some "possible" examples from August:

August 4, Bilovodsk, Luhansk province: partisans shoot at a car carrying collaborators, Vitaly Kovalenko, Bilovodsk district head, and his deputy, Valentyna Hladkova. Both are wounded.

August 4, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: anti-Russian leaflets distributed in mail boxes.

August 4, Kherson: collaborationist Kherson province governor, Volodymyr Saldo (the target of a failed assassination attempt on July 11), falls into coma and is hospitalized in Moscow. Doctors suspect Saldo was poisoned.

August 5, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: pro-Ukrainian slogans appear in the city center.

August 5, Vovchansk, occupied Kharkiv province: pro-Ukrainian leaflets appear in the city.

August 6, Nova Kakhovka, Kherson province: collaborationist deputy head of local administration, Vitaly Hura, shot and killed.

August 6, Tokmak, Zaporizhzhya province: partisans blow up rail line.

August 6, Kherson: Yellow Ribbon resistance movement distributes first issue of underground gazette, Voice of the Partisan. Print run: 1,200.

August 6, Berdyansk, Zaporizhzhya province: the Berdyansk Partisan Army stages explosion near the city police department.

August 8, Berdyansk: explosion near the home of collaborationist deputy mayor, apparently, the work of the Berdyansk Partisan Army.

August 8, Kherson: leaflets appear in the city threatening the poisoned Volodymyr Saldo’s successor as collaborationist Kherson province governor, Kyrylo Stryemousov, with the same fate.

August 8, Beryslav, Kherson province: graffiti appears announcing that the Ukrainian armed forces are “already here” and that “Putin is a prick.”

August 9, Simferopol and Alushta, occupied Crimea: partisans declare a $230,000 bounty on Sergey Aksyonov, head of the self-styled republic.

August 9, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: partisans paste leaflets asking for information about the location of voting stations for Russia’s planned “referendum.”

August 9, Melitopol: partisans set off explosion near United Russia headquarters in the city center.

August 9, Kherson: partisans distribute leaflets dissuading people from accepting Russian passports and taking part in the referendum.

August 9, Saki air base, occupied Crimea: multiple explosions with possible involvement of local partisans.

August 10, Mariupol, Donetsk province: explosion in city center, possibly the work of local partisans.

August 10, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: partisans kill two collaborators involved in preparing the “referendum.”

August 11, Kherson: pro-Ukrainian leaflets appear in the city.

August 11, Kherson province: pylon supporting power line leading from Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant to occupied Crimea collapses, possibly due to partisan activity.

August 11, Starobilsk, Luhansk province: partisans explode car driven by a collaborator who heads the Interdistrict Registration and Examination Department.

August 11, Lysychansk, Luhansk province: leaflets appear threatening collaborators (in particular, one Andriy Skoryy) with death.

August 12, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: explosion in yard off Hohol Street. Target was Oleh Shostak, collaborationist head of the propaganda division of local United Russia electoral command. Shostak was hospitalized.

August 12, Kherson: leaflets warning that “the Russian passport kills” appear in the city.

August 13, Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya province: partisans set off explosions in the northeastern part of the city. Target: military building occupied by Russian troops.

August 13, Kherson province: multiple explosions in Chkalov, Novotroyitske, Chaplynka, Nyzhni Sirohozy, Velyka Blahovishchenka, and Nova Kakhovka.

August 13, Mariupol, Donetsk province: powerful explosion in city.

There is no reason to think that the resistance will wane anytime in the near future. Quite the contrary, it is sure to grow and become even more violent—especially if the Ukrainian armed forces continue to press the Russians in the south and keep them from advancing in the east.

There was partisan warfare into the 50’s against the old USSR.

The most damaging thing the partisans do to the Russians is relay geo locations of Russian ammo depots, troop concentrations, barracks, etc to the HIMARS precision rockets which given an precise Geo location can hit with 6 feet of the target.

““That’s because their regular army has pretty much been annihilated, isn’t it?”

Guess it was the partisans and not the annihilated UKR reg army that drove the Russian army back from the Kharkiv area and now “an estimated from 2 to 5 thousand RU troops, plus their armor, artillery & vehicles, are now encircled at Lyman.”

Russian column fleeing Lyman destroyed by UKR artillery:

” video of a RU column, neutralized by UKR artillery as it attempted to flee the encirclement at Lyman. Scattered about are RU bodies, vehicles & the things they looted from the city. RU’s defeat at Lyman is biblical.”

Here is hope for the Russian shills on FR.

Putins draft is bring elite Russian troops into the war. Video shows them enroute. Unfortunately the bus driver must have been drinking too much vodka and lost control of the bus.

Remember the old Cold War myth that Russian soldiers are 10 feet tall? Turns out, they’re nothing but a gaggle of drunken midgets.

No.. they weren’t. The ones in military uniforms have that distinctive striped Russian mariner T-shirt showing.

Yeah, ganeemead would have us believe that, with his comment that the Ukrainian army “...has pretty much been annihilated.”

The reality, of course, is different.

Ukrainian troops are wearing the same uniforms.

If fact, a big complication in this conflict is that soldiers aren't always sure who the enemy is. They wear the same clothes, shoot the same guns, drive the same tanks, and speak the same language.

Kinda like a civil war.
