17 February 2022: The current warfighting doctrine of the Russian Federation, if not the whole of the Union State (Russia and Belarus), employs the simultaneous use of Information Warfare (INFOWAR), Psychological Warfare (PSYOPS). Cyber Attacks (CYBERWAR). These types of hybrid warfare are at some predetermined point combined with conventional kinetic warfighting.
As of the early hours today Russian Federation forces conventional warfighting against Ukraine in the southeastern oblasts (provinces) of Luhansk and Donetsk began on a scale not seen since the original invasion of Ukrainian territory in 2014. The Ukrainian military command, referred to as the Joint Forces HQ published a list of attacks that erupted along the entire front lines in eastern Ukraine.
82mm mortars struck Ukrainian Army positions near the towns of Stanytsia Luhanska and Novozvanivka. UAV dropped VOG-17 and VOG-25 grenades at Lobacheve and Vodiane, which was followed by 120mm mortar strikes. 122mm artillery opened up against Prycheplivka; Luhanske, Marinka, Syze and Katerynivka were all hit by antitank and machine gun fire.
There are no reports of Ukrainian military casualties from the Joint Forces HQ as of 0700 EST this morning, nor have Ukrainian defenders taken the bait to return fire on the Russian forces which would almost certainly trigger a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Union State forces. Below is an image of a pontoon bridge erected in the past 24 hours over the Pripyat River in Belarus that Russian T72B3 main battle tanks would use to establish an invasion route through Chernobyl to Kyiv.

New information also cites the forward movement of several Russian battlegroups up to the Ukrainian border and not away from the border per Russian INFOWAR and PSYOPS. In recent days massive Russian CYBERWAR attacks were launched against Ukrainian military servers and at least two Ukrainian banks in Kyiv. Suffice it to say that just as occurred in Georgia fourteen years ago, "it's on" in Ukraine today. Watching.
Either "it's on" or Russian forces in Luhansk/Donetsk are executing a massive OPDEC to provoke Ukrainian retaliation. None so far.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian artillery has hit two Ukrainian schools, a kindergarten and a high school. No injuries reported thus far.
DeleteThe Ukrainian Army is exercising extreme restraint in an effort to deny Russia of casus belli invasion rationale.
Forget the comment above about the Ukrainian Army being restrained, they are returning fire in-kind.
ReplyDeleteGround combat is now in progress in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts. Union State military invasion of Ukraine is just a matter of time now.
Dmitry Peskov has told Russian media today the Russian-Ukraine border could "transform into a firestorm at any moment."
ReplyDeleteSean, Is Ukrain mentioned under a different name is Gods Word? Thanks brother.
ReplyDeleteSaved,
DeleteNot to my knowledge is Ukraine mentioned by another name in the Bible.
There secular opinions that associates Cimmeria (Cimmerians) as the origin of the present day name of Crimea and North Caucasia. They were also linguistically similar to the Scythians.
Does any of this link Ukraine with Magog in Ezekiel 38/39?
I wouldn't speculate on that. My focus has been on Gog of Magog being turned around from some military activity North of Israel by hooks placed in his jaws.
I think this activity is the current Russian military adventure against Ukraine - meaning Ezekiel 38/39 is not far off from a literal fulfillment.
1) Russia demands the withdrawal of all American military (i.e. NATO) forces from eastern and central Europe.
ReplyDelete2) The U.S. and the Russian Federation are now on the path to a formal rupture of diplomatic relations.
Gray-White smoke seen coming from the top of the Russian Embassy in Kyiv may indicate the incineration (burning) of classified documents by embassy staff in advance of full-scale war.
ReplyDeleteBased upon the template of Russia's military aggression against Georgia in 2008:
ReplyDeleteEschatology Today assesses there is a very high probability of a full-scale military invasion from the territory of the Union State into the Republic of Ukraine to occur within the next 6 days (18 - 22 FEB 2022).
Europeans can relax a bit, you have plenty of LNG.

Brimming European LNG Terminals Have Limited Space for More Gas
February 17, 2022
LONDON/MADRID, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Europe’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals have limited available capacity to absorb extra supply from the United States or other major suppliers.
The Muscovy Tsardom's reiterated demand for NATO to revert to its status of 25 years ago (1997) is dead on arrival, meaning there will be no de-escalation of the current crisis.
ReplyDeleteSean, has Russia ever deployed such armament before to Syria?

Jmoll,
DeleteNo, they have not. It is probably in response to the 3 NATO Carrier Strike Groups (US, France and Italy) operating and exercising nearby.
NATO has also ordered the deployment of several additional land battle groups to the breadth of NATOs eastern flank.
RED ALERTS across a wide area of the Northern Galilee and Golan region at noon today.
ReplyDeleteNear 100% certainty the intruders were Iranian UAVs launched and operated by IRGC/Hezbollah in Lebanon.
ReplyDeleteBeen expecting this and more during Ukraine crisis.
More artillery fires today in the Donbas; Russia claims Ukrainian "blitzkrieg" in progress there.
ReplyDelete(The "blitzkrieg" reference comes from Russian government propagandistic belief that the current Ukrainian government is a Nazi government that must be overthrown ASAP.
Putin (Gog) will personally oversee the mass testing and exercising of Russia's entire triad of land, air and sea-based nuclear weapons.
From a military bunker inside the Kremlin Putin, with Lukashenko at his side, launched the triad of nuclear weapons testing this morning.
DeleteOvernight:
Heavy exchanges of fire occurred in Luhansk and Donetsk.
Putin will declare the recognition and annexation of Luhansk and Donetsk as part of Russia.
Total mobilization of militia forces in these two Oblasts.
Russia accuses Ukraine of ongoing genocide in these Oblasts, which are now evacuation 700,000 women, children and elderly to 75 or more shelters inside Russia.
All pretexts for full-scale war against Ukraine are now complete.
What does the West mean by "unprecedented sanctions" when Russia invades Ukraine?<
It means a 100% cutoff of all financial, commercial and other economic links between the West and the Union State.
This makes for a much clearer understanding of Ezekiel 38/39, whereas Gog of Magog will be turned around with hooks to invade the Middle East for the taking of booty and spoils!
Here we go...
It is my understanding that pro-Russian forces attempted a decapitation strike against top level Ukrainian officers who were conducting an inspection tour of the front trench lines in Donetsk/Luhansk today. Near miss, but all were able to reach safety.
ReplyDeleteNATO's liaison office in Kyiv was evacuated, some staff went to the Brussels HQ and others to the NATO Forward HQ in Lviv.
Watch developments closely.
Belarus has been effectively absorbed by the Russian Federation without a shot being fired.
ReplyDeleteThe Belarusian election of 2020 was blatantly stolen by Lukashenko. A popular revolt of Belarusian patriots was then crushed by Lukashenko with Putin's help. And so today Russian troops are in Belarus to stay, and Russia's western border in rests against Lithuania and Poland. Putin wants both of them back under his control.
All Western intel leaked to the MSM predicting the timing of the Union State's invasion has been proven erroneous.
ReplyDeleteOnly one remains - the forecast of the ISW (Institute for the Study of War). The ISW has been exceptionally accurate in reporting on Russian military activity (including Wagner mercs) in Syria since 2015.
The current ISW count-down assessment calls for the Russian offensive to begin in about 12 hours, or early morning 21FEB22 Ukraine time. It is now 14:00 on 20FEB22.
US and NATO aircraft have been executing non-stop fully armed Combat Air Patrols (CAPs) all along the NATO frontier with the Union State since 18FEB22.
ReplyDeleteIt may surprise some, but the major contributor to the NATO military posture, from Iceland to Estonia to Romania and the Black Sea, is Italy! No other NATO ally contributes more than Italy.
Italy has deployed 9,000 of its troops to defend NATO's eastern borders. Italian F-35s and Eurofighters are securing the skies. And Italy has its aircraft carrier strike group and embarked F-35 airwing lead the way with the US carrier strike group in the Meditterranean Sea.
Rumors and false reports (disinformation) abound of a ceasefire agreement arranged during phone contact today between Macron (France) and Putin (Russia).
ReplyDeleteThe situation remains unchanged in any meaningful way.
Obvious now that Putin is running rings around ALL current heads of state in the West; none are equal to the task before them.
ReplyDeleteAll:
DeleteWhile I have no issue pointing to Putin as Ezekiel's 'Gog of Magog' and have already made a strong years-old Scripture based case for a certain bloodline of the coming antichrist, it would be a major error to pin a tail on that donkey at this time.
Israel Ministry of Defense
ReplyDelete“The Ministry of Defense, the IDF and the Raphael Company have successfully completed a complex series of experiments of the Kifet Magen Naval defense system – based on an advanced version of the Iron Dome architecture.”
I've seen a video of the Kifet Magen system on board an IDF Navy Sa'ar-6 corvette engaging multiple fixed-wing and rocket targets while ar-sea and none them survived the engagement.
Putin has convened an emergency session of the National Security Council.
ReplyDeleteThis comes after the FSB claimed a Russian border guard building was destroyed by artillery from Ukraine. No border guards were in the building at the time.
Another Russian False Flag operation to justify invasion!
OSCE observers confirm no Ukrainian Army artillery have fired, but pro-Russian artillery have been very active.
Greece is also playing a critical role in NATO's defense posture in Europe and the Middle East. Two American bases figure prominently, the port facilities at Souda Bay, Crete and the big logistics base at Alexandroupoli in far northeastern (mainland) Greece.
ReplyDeletePutin's aggression in Ukraine is now next level with Russian troops now being sent into Luhansk and Donetsk in force to absorb them into the Russian Federation. Putin has, by fiat decree, denied Ukraine's right to exist as a sovereign nation. This means war and the Lord's hooks will result at the time of His choosing.
ReplyDelete“Ukraine unequivocally qualifies the recent actions by the Russian Federation as a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state, All responsibility for the consequences of these decisions lies on Russia's political leadership." - Ukraine President Volodmyr Zelenskiy as Russian tanks entered Luhansk/Donetsk oblasts.
ReplyDeleteZelenskiy added: "We regard the actions taken tonight as Russia's unilateral from the Minsk Agreements."
So too the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.
Russian signatures on international agreements are not worth the paper on which they are written. Russia is truly a criminal enterprise.
