Ukraine calls up reservists
Sunday, December 2, 2018 12:00:00 PM
The press service of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated that starting Monday, December 3rd, large-scale call-up of reservists and those liable for military duty will begin.
“In part, reservists will be called to duty for up to 15 days to command units and up to 20 days to training centers. Therefore, it is assumed that all the events will be completed before the beginning of the New Year holidays,” noted the Ministry.
“However, mobilization will only be carried out in the case of open aggression. In such situation, not only those on active duty but all reservists and those liable for military service will be called to duty in the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the Ministry stated.
In addition, in areas in which martial law has been introduced, gathering of those liable for military service will last for 10 days. During this period, "combat coordination of brigades and territorial defense battalions will be held in order to prepare for the defense of these regions."
From the 26th of November to the 26th of December, ten regions in Ukraine are under Martial law. The martial law has been introduced after Russia seized three Ukrainian military vessels and detained their crew members in the Black Sea, near the Kerch Strait.

The BM-21 Grad's (newer version of the Stalin Organs) are to soften up an attack corridor. Take the E50 connect with the M3 and your'e in Donetsk. From there a hop to the Ukraine side. The T30s are the same way. Hook them up to a deuce and a half (the Kamaz equivalent of course) and tow them to forward positions. That's a lot of Stalin organs and tanks for just a combined arms exercise.
The T-72's are good tanks-don't have the hull down fire capability of an M60 (3 degrees down versus 6.5 degrees for the M60 or the M1) .Very capable, diesel powered and tough. The lone T-64 is an oddity, perhaps it's a command variant? Wonder if the Russian T-72s are Ukranian built. If they're Polish built, then the instruments and indicators in the tank are in English........

Ukraine calls up reservists over Russian invasion fearUkraine's president has called-up army reservists to strengthen its defences over fears of a Russian invasion.
Petro Poroshenko said reservists will be summoned for training as part of the martial law he declared at the end of November.
He said that some military units will be redeployed to strengthen the nation's defences in a ratcheting up of tensions between the neighbouring countries.
"Ukraine is taking its own steps in response to the threat of a large-scale Russian invasion," the president said.
He also called on Germany and its allies to boost their naval presence in the Black Sea to deter futher Russian aggression.Martial law was declared in parts of Ukraine on 26 November, a day after the Russian coastguard fired at and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels and 24 crew members off the Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
The Kremlin said Mr Poroshenko's latest announcement is an "absurd" attempt to inflame tensions.
As part of the 30-day martial law, all Russian males aged 16 to 60 have been barred from entering Ukraine, a move which Mr Poroshenko said was needed to prevent Russia further destabilising his country.Over the weekend Mr Poroshenko said that Russia deployed a large number of troops along its border, and claimed the Kremlin intends to push into Ukraine.
His government also accused Russia of blockading its ports in the Sea of Azov - which the Kremlin denies.Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Ukraine's claims were an "absurd attempt to foment tensions".
"The accusations against Russia have no basis whatsoever," he added.
However, the Russian military said its forces in Crimea were conducting drills involving Bal and Bastion long-range anti-ship missile systems.The sailors taken from the Ukrainian ships in November by Russia have been placed in custody for two months as Russia investigates the clash in the Kerch Strait, which links the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoz.
Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other for the naval incident which ramped-up sour relations created in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and backed separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
Kiev says its ships were in international waters while Russia claims the boats were violating its borders.
Mr Poroshenko has said he tried to arrange a phone call with Mr Putin to discuss the standoff but was refused.
The Russian leader's spokesman said "no such conversation is planned".The UK does not currently have a presence in the Black Sea but Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said Ukraine was a "steadfast partner" and that Britain would continue to carry out joint training programmes and military exercises.https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-...f-twitter&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral

NATO Set to Meet as Ukraine Seeks Support Against Russian Attacks LONDON —
Russia’s recent attack on Ukrainian naval vessels will likely top the agenda at a NATO meeting this week as the alliance searches for a robust response in the wake of the Kremlin’s latest act of aggression on Europe’s borders.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is scheduled to join other foreign ministers for the two-day meeting in Brussels starting Tuesday, where American demands for more military spending from NATO allies will also be discussed.
Kyiv has warned the likelihood of an all-out war with its neighbor is dangerously high after Russia fired on its vessels last week in the Azov Sea and detained several Ukrainian naval personnel. Moscow has blamed Ukraine for what it called a ‘provocation.’
Attending a ceremony to mark the acquisition of new military hardware Saturday, Ukraine’s president urged allies to step forward.“This is an enormous threat and together, with our allies, we are searching for an appropriate response to it,” President Petro Poroshenko said.
The Ukrainian leader wants NATO to send warships to the Azov Sea, which is supposed to be shared between Moscow and Kyiv under a 2003 agreement. Ukraine says Russian warships have blockaded the Kerch Strait off Crimea – the territory it forcibly annexed in 2014 – effectively cutting off Ukrainian Black Sea ports.
NATO is under pressure to offer a robust response at Tuesday’s foreign ministers’ summit. But speaking last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg gave no indication that the alliance is prepared to risk a naval confrontation with Russia.“We call on Russia to ensure unhindered access to Ukrainian ports and allow freedom of navigation for Ukraine in the sea of Azov and Kerch Strait,” Stoltenberg told reporters.
Following the incident in the Azov Sea, U.S. President Donald Trump cancelled a planned meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit.
Writing on Twitter last week, Trump wrote, “The European Union, for many years, has taken advantage of us on trade, and then they don’t live up to their military commitment through NATO. Things must change fast!”
Along with military spending, NATO foreign ministers will also discuss Ukraine and Georgia’s ambitions to join the alliance. Georgia’s new President-elect Salome Zurabishvili has already staked out a tough line on Russia, describing it as an "unpredictable occupying power" – and vowing to push forward her country’s bid to join NATO.
“We can ask and we've been doing that - membership and that is our direction without any alternative - but on that road we can get much more concrete steps and I intend to be more demanding partner for Europeans as well as with our NATO partners,” Zurabishvili told the Reuters news agency.
The West faces a balancing act in dealing with an increasingly unpredictable Kremlin, says Russia analyst Nicholas Redman of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “It’s partly about exploiting some of the capacities that Western states have in order to defend themselves. That will require new approaches. It’s also I think about deciding where the points of potential dialogue should come.”
Foreign ministers are also due to discuss Operation Resolute Support in Afghanistan, in which about 16,000 personnel from 39 NATO member states and partner countries are involved in training and assisting Afghan forces. https://www.voanews.com/a/nato-ukraine-russia/4684196.html

“The imposed martial law, bringing the troops on alert puts the whole on the whole not only Europe, but the world on the brink of war. . “Because the propaganda, the information they receive today distorts reality,” he stated. “We believe that our colleagues should know the truth about the situation, about the incident that happened in the Kerch Bay.”On November 25, three ships of the Naval Forces of Ukraine violated the procedure for the passage of warships through the territorial sea of the Russian Federation when traveling from the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov. For their forced stopping in the Kerch Strait, weapons were used, three servicemen of the Ukrainian Navy received minor injuries and received medical assistance. The ships were detained and taken to Kerch, a criminal case was opened on the fact of violation of the Russian border. The Russian side called the incident a provocation, the Ukrainian authorities initiated the imposition of martial law, and the EU and NATO called for a de-escalation of the situation.https://tass.ru/politika/5865438

I just heard from my GF in Odessa
She says everything is normal. Shops are full of Christmas shoppers. No one is taking the events seriously. She says everyone knows that Russia can roll over Ukraine in "minutes" and that the west (I guess she means the EU) is sick of Ukraine.
No mil in streets.
Says Poro is a coward and a thief.

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 05th December, 2018) Austria is interested in construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which will contribute to the EU energy security, President of the country's National Council Wolfgang Sobotka said on Wednesday.
"We are interested in the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project in order to boost stability and security of the European Union," Sobotka said addressing the Russian State Duma.
The Nord Stream 2 is a joint venture of Russia's Gazprom with France's Engie, Austria's OMV AG, UK-Dutch Royal Dutch Shell, and Germany's Uniper and Wintershall. It aims to deliver 55 billion cubic meters (some 2 trillion cubic feet) of Russian natural gas a year to the European Union through the Baltic Sea bypassing Ukraine.
The pipeline project has been welcomed by some countries in Europe and opposed by a number of others, including Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States, while the United States has also expressed its opposition.
