As Russia attacks, Ukraine scrambles to dig enough trenches
BY JAMIE DETTMER
MARCH 27, 2024 6:58 PM CET

KYIV — Ukrainian lawmakers fear the army and local authorities are not digging quickly enough or building sufficiently formidable defensive fortifications to withstand an expected Russian offensive in the northeast and southeast of the country.

We were warning since last summer that you have to construct defensive fortifications on an industrial scale, bringing together the appropriate ministers and local military administrations to build defensive lines fast and make them extremely strong,” opposition lawmaker Rostyslav Pavlenko told POLITICO.

In the fall, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal acknowledged that old defensive structures would need to be renewed and fresh frontline fortifications added in the wake of Ukraine’s underwhelming summer counteroffensive, which yielded only marginal territorial gains after months of fighting.

Ukraine’s counteroffensive partly failed to live up to hopes because Russian forces were so well dug in, and the Ukrainian army was unable to punch through three lines of formidable and well-designed defenses.

Military analysts at Britain’s Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) cautioned before the counteroffensive of what might happen, warning in a May 2023 report that “engineering has proven to be one of the strongest branches of the Russian military. The defenses now constructed, consisting of complex obstacles and field fortifications, will pose a major tactical challenge to Ukrainian offensive operations.”

Now that it’s the Ukrainians facing the prospects of a concerted Russian offensive, the nagging question is whether their defensive lines will be as good as the Russians’ — and whether they’ve left too little time to build in earnest.

“They started building them finally. But this is late. They started really last month,” said Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, an opposition lawmaker and former deputy prime minister in the administration of former President Petro Poroshenko...


... A former senior field commander told POLITICO he’s worried that Ukraine doesn’t have enough mines available for the new fortifications — nor enough mobilized soldiers to properly man them. He was granted a request for anonymity to be able to speak freely.

In November, Zelenskyy discussed with army chiefs the necessity of a significant expansion of fortifications, but it wasn’t until February that Shmyhal announced $524 million in funding for their construction, with other sources contributing an additional $280 million.

“Now the money is available,” said Pavlenko. “But now it is a matter putting the money into concrete.” On a recent tour — he declined to say where exactly for security reasons — he was disappointed with both the pace and the materials being used...


... What has added to parliamentary agitation is the recent appointment of a former presidential aide, Kyrylo Tymoshenko, as an adviser to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. He resigned in January 2023 amid a flurry of corruption allegations.

We’ve asked why a man who was dismissed in what was billed as an anti-corruption drive has resurfaced at the defense ministry at such a time,” said Pavlenko...


... “The Russians fortify whenever and wherever possible, regardless of whether they’re on the offensive, and that is sound war logic,” he added.

Inshallah

More from Rabbani, after Steven Bonnell (stage name "Destiny") predictably doubled down

https://x.com/MouinRabbani/status/1773221712349347860?s=20

Mouin Rabbani posted:

THREAD: Steven Bonnell (stage name “Destiny”) responded to my previous thread with a series of his own tweets. True to form it contained more juvenile name-calling (“cowardly gently caress”, “disgusting human”, “sniveling worm”, etc.).

Regarding the issue of genocide, he appears to have appointed himself the resident expert on the phenomenon:
“How can you idiots claim to be scholars or have strong opinions about genocide WHILE STILL REFUSING TO UNDERSTAND THIS TERM [dolus specialis]. STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS, YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED”.

In point of fact, regarding this particular term my previous thread referenced, in addition to my own understanding of it, the views of Bonnell, Norman Finkelstein, an international lawyer involved in cases before the International Court of Justice,
and of Francesca Albanese, the author of a recent report on genocide for the UN Human Rights Council. Whether or not Finkelstein and I understand this term and its role in determining genocide can therefore easily be assessed.

On the subject of understanding terms, Bonnell doubles down on insisting that Jim Crow in the United States did not constitute apartheid. In his words: “Jim Crow in the US wasn't apartheid because people could travel, among other things,
and the segregation wasn't done top down constitutionally and federally, but rather geographically throughout the US with a collection of local restrictions and policies. You're utterly clueless.”

In fact, and as noted in my previous thread, “Jim Crow was a formal system of rigidly enforced segregation in the United States imposed by state authority, enforced by legislation and violence, and confirmed by the US Supreme Court.”
Last time I checked, the US Supreme Court, whose infamous 1896 ruling in Plessy v Ferguson confirmed state laws enforcing segregation, was a federal institution.

But, assuming for the sake of argument that Bonnell’s points about travel and federal edicts are correct, are these in any way relevant? Here is how the International Criminal Court (ICC) defines apartheid, which it classifies as a crime against humanity:
“an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime”.

Seems the ICC didn’t get Bonnell’s memo about travel and federal regulations in time to incorporate them into the Rome Statute.
Bonnell also declines to address my other point in this regard, which specifically concerns Palestinian refugees.

If, in his view, Jim Crow did not constitute apartheid, why does he insist that Arab states exercising their universally-recognized sovereign right to not extend collective citizenship rights to refugees on their territory are guilty of a crime against humanity? END

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveb...torah-scholars/

quote:

Shas chairman Aryeh Deri slams Thursday’s High Court decision to bar the government from funding the monthly stipends of at least some ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students, declaring it a “mark of Cain” and “an unprecedented maltreatment of Torah scholars in the Jewish state.”

“Precisely in the days when the people of Israel need the mercy of heaven in the south and in the north, the High Court of Justice takes an offensive approach toward the Torah scholars on whom the world stands,” he says in a statement.

“Shas will continue to fight for the right of yeshiva students to study the Torah and will examine its next steps,” he adds.
hopefully their next step is "collapse the government of israel"

Yemen is in a famine that's killed 400,000+, all while under blockade
The war in Ukraine has possibly been more deadly, but if so almost entirely of soldiers, if that makes a difference. 100,000-200,000 very tentatively.
Iraq of course is like 2 million deaths so that is pretty hard too beat

Just grabbing a few more from here, I only got up to 2009 so there's 15 more years you could look at.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars:_2003%E2%80%93present

2003 war in Darfur - 300,000
2009 onwards phase of the Somali civil war - 66,000
2009 boko haram insurgency - 350,000

Now I know you asked for atrocities but I'm of the opinion that a dead person is dead whether they died defending their home with a rifle in their hand or if they were gassed and both are atrocious. Like every Russian the nazis killed was the victim of a genocide.

I think civilians killed in a war is more atrocious than a soldier personally but you're right about Iraq and Yemen, along with PawParole mentioning Ethiopia.

E: along with the other atrocities you mentioned. I guess this just might be the most widely visible then maybe.
