Analisis: Pertempuran sengit Rusia untuk Bakhmut dapat menghasilkan kemenangan besar

Pertempuran hampir lima bulan untuk kota kecil Bakhmut di timur Ukraina telah berlangsung begitu lama dan menimbulkan begitu banyak kematian dan kehancuran, bahkan jika Rusia menang, itu akan menjadi kemenangan besar, kata pakar militer.







Blok apartemen yang hancur, tentara yang terluka parah, parit yang dipenuhi lumpur, dan warga sipil yang meringkuk di ruang bawah tanah di bawah pemboman yang tak henti-hentinya telah menjadi pemandangan yang akrab di dalam dan sekitar Bakhmut sejak pertempuran dimulai.


Menguasai kota, dengan populasi sebelum perang 70-80.000 yang menyusut mendekati 10.000, dapat memberi Rusia batu loncatan untuk maju di dua kota besar, Kramatorsk dan Sloviansk.


Itu juga akan menghilangkan Ukraina dari persimpangan jalur pasokan jalan dan rel yang berguna.


Namun dengan pertempuran sengit di sana sejak 1 Agustus, dan penembakan Rusia sejak Mei, sebagian besar Bakhmut berada dalam reruntuhan, sementara pasukan Ukraina di barat memiliki banyak waktu untuk membangun garis pertahanan di dekatnya untuk mundur.







“Jika Bakhmut telah dikuasai ketika mereka memulai serangan pada bulan Agustus maka itu akan menjadi signifikan. Tapi ini semua tentang momentum,” kata Konrad Muzyka, seorang analis militer Polandia.


Dia mengatakan nilai strategis Bakhmut telah dikurangi oleh benteng Ukraina di daerah sekitarnya pada bulan-bulan berikutnya, sehingga sulit bagi Rusia untuk mengubah perebutan kota itu, jika itu terjadi, menjadi terobosan yang lebih luas.


Tetap saja, bentrokan tersebut telah menjadi sangat penting di kedua sisi karena ini adalah teater pertempuran utama saat musim dingin, sumber daya utama telah dikerahkan dan ini adalah pertempuran pertama dalam beberapa bulan yang tampaknya memiliki peluang untuk menang di Rusia.


Digambarkan sebagai "penggiling daging" oleh para komandan di kedua sisi, beberapa pakar Rusia, Ukraina, dan Barat menyamakan perjuangan tersebut dengan Perang Dunia Pertama, di mana Jerman dan Inggris menderita kerugian besar dalam perang parit karena sering mendapatkan sedikit wilayah.


Igor Girkin, seorang nasionalis Rusia dan mantan petugas Layanan Keamanan Federal yang membantu meluncurkan perang Donbas asli pada tahun 2014 dan berada di sanksi bawah A.S., mengatakan minggu ini dia pikir strategi timnya sendiri di Bakhmut adalah "bodoh".







"Apa yang akan terjadi selanjutnya (setelah potensi penangkapan Bakhmut oleh Rusia)?" Girkin merenung dalam sebuah video, menambahkan Ukraina hanya akan mundur ke garis pertahanan kedua sambil terus membangun garis pertahanan lain di belakang garis pertahanan itu.


“Ini menggerogoti pertahanan musuh menurut model Perang Dunia Pertama,” kata Girkin, dengan alasan bahwa Moskow perlu mengubah strategi medan perang dan mengerahkan pasukannya secara berbeda.


Yevgeny Prigozhin, pendiri Wagner, yang mendapat sanksi di Barat, telah memastikan anak buahnya bertempur di sana.


Kesepakatan yang dia tawarkan kepada narapidana adalah bertarung dan diampuni dalam enam bulan atau, jika mereka bergabung dan meninggalkan, menghadapi eksekusi.


Pada bulan November, outlet berita independen Rusia Mediazona melaporkan bahwa data yang tersedia untuk umum dari Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Federal Rusia menunjukkan populasi penjara secara keseluruhan menyusut lebih dari 23.000 orang pada bulan September dan Oktober, penurunan terbesar dari jenisnya dalam lebih dari satu dekade.


Para terpidana yang disarankan itu telah menerima tawaran Prigozhin. Reuters tidak dapat memverifikasi data secara independen.


Prigozhin telah memperingatkan agar tidak mengharapkan terobosan cepat, dan, pada tanggal 1 Desember. Komentar 12 Agustus, kata tugas Wagner dalam memperjuangkan Bakhmut adalah untuk "membunuh tentara musuh sebanyak mungkin, dan mengeringkan tentara Ukraina".








PERANG ATRISI



Cuplikan medan perang menunjukkan pertempuran sengit untuk bentangan tanah yang relatif sederhana, dengan garis depan maju mundur.


Bagi Rusia, Bakhmut, yang disebut Artyomovsk, nama kota era Soviet itu, telah lama memiliki nilai politik.


Berbaring di garis depan yang membelah wilayah Donetsk timur Ukraina, merebut Bakhmut akan membawa Rusia selangkah lebih dekat ke kendali penuh atas Donbas, yang sebagian telah dikendalikan oleh proksi Rusia sejak 2014.


Muzyka, analis militer Polandia, mengatakan Bakhmut telah menjadi pertempuran gesekan.


"Ukraina hanya melemahkan Rusia dan itu cukup efektif dalam hal tenaga dan peralatan," katanya. "Mereka menaikkan biaya ke Rusia."


Bagi Moskow, kata intelijen militer Inggris, ada "kemungkinan realistis bahwa penguasaan Bakhmut terutama menjadi tujuan politik dan simbolis".


Kemenangan di sana akan membantu mengangkat moral dan Jenderal Sergei Surovikin, komandan keseluruhan pasukan Rusia di Ukraina sejak 1 Oktober. 8, dapat menunjukkan bahwa dia benar untuk memindahkan pasukannya ke tempat lain setelah mundur dari kota selatan Kherson.


"Pada tahap ini, Ukraina adalah korban dari kesuksesannya sendiri baru-baru ini, dan menderita akibat ekspektasi yang tinggi akan momentum yang berkelanjutan," kata Kofman.

A batch of advanced T-90M ‘Proryv’ (‘Breakthrough’) main battle tanks has arrived for an armored unit of the Central Military District in the Ukraine special military operation zone, Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on Tuesday.







"A batch of advanced upgraded T-90M ‘Proryv’ tanks has arrived for an armored unit of the Central Military District. The tank crews are honing their gunnery and vehicle control skills.


Instructors are training the personnel taking into account present-day combat experience. After mastering their interoperability, the tank crews will start accomplishing missions within the Otvazhniye (Courageous) battlegroup," the ministry said in a commentary to its video showing the personnel’s combat training.


As the ministry specified, the tank crews are practicing gunnery from the tank’s standard armament from sheltered positions and open sites by direct fire, with the gunfire being adjusted by unmanned aerial vehicles. The tank crews are also exercising to ride new vehicles across terrain obstacles.


The T-90M ‘Proryv’ main battle tank was developed by the Urals Design Bureau of Transport Machine-Building (part of the Uralvagonzavod defense manufacturer).







As its developers highlight, the ‘Proryv’ is the most advanced armored vehicle in the family of T-90 tanks and most of all fit for operations on a present-day battlefield thanks to its all-round protection, a modern round-the-clock highly automated fire control system and enhanced survivability technology.


According to the data of Uralvagonzavod, the T-90M has undergone multilayered modernization and can be rightly called a new combat vehicle. It has received a principally new turret differing from a serial-produced combat module and a more powerful 1,130 hp engine.


The ‘Proryv’ is outfitted with a 125mm tank cannon that can fire new powerful munitions and also missiles capable of eliminating enemy tanks at a range of up to 5 km. The new multichannel sight enables the tank to employ its armaments at any time of day or night.


In addition, the option of exchanging data with other combat vehicles in real time has been one of the upgraded tank’s major advantages. The T-90M’s armor has anti-slip coating similar to that installed on the breakthrough T-14 ‘Armata’ main battle tank.

Turkey under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan has abdicated its role as NATO stronghold against Russia, the Sabah newspaper reported on Tuesday.







"Turkey and Russia, that is (Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan and [his Russian counterpart Vladimir) Putin have managed to establish relations based on mutual respect. Turkey under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan has abdicated its role as NATO stronghold against Russia, the Sabah newspaper reported on Tuesday..


According to him, "even innocent political decisions may have critical consequences." "The West has been flooding [Ukraine] with money and weapons, but now the Ukrainian people have neither electricity, nor water, nor central heating. Everything has collapsed.


The oppressed Ukrainian people are at the mercy of the Russian army, awaiting occupation. This situation is quite telling for Ukraine, who has been blindly following false heroes, relying on the United States and the European Union," he added.







On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a special military operation in Ukraine following a request for assistance from the leaders of the Donbass republics.


After that, the US, the EU, the UK, as well as a number of other countries imposed sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities. In addition, Western countries began and continue to supply arms and military equipment to Kiev to the tune of billions of dollars.


Ankara has repeatedly stressed that Turkey had no intention to join the US-led West’s sanctions against Russia in order not to damage its own economy and leave an open channel of dialogue with Moscow.



Seven people detained in CAR in case of terrorist attack against head of Russian House



December 20. Police in the Central African Republic (CAR) have arrested seven people, including post office workers, who could have something to do with the terrorist attack against the head of the Russian House Dmitry Sytyi, an employee of the country’s radio station Ndeke Luka told TASS on Tuesday.


"Seven people have been detained, some were questioned and released," the source said. They were all questioned in connection with the terrorist attack against the head of the Russian House Dmitry Sytyi.







On December 16, the Russian embassy reported that Sytyi was rushed to the hospital in serious condition, after an anonymous parcel with his name on it exploded. The Russian Foreign Ministry slammed the mail bomb attack as an act of terrorism. The Central African police are investigating the circumstances of the case. On December 19, Sytyi was taken from Bangui to Russia.


Acting government spokesman Maxime Balalou said that the CAR condemned the terrorist attack, which injured the head of the Russian House, and reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to cooperation with the Russian Federation. He stressed that the crime was committed, among other reasons, against "the Russian presence" in the CAR.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's sister and deputy director of a department of the ruling Workers' Party's Central Committee, Kim Yo Jong said those who doubt the capabilities of North Korea's missiles will soon be able to see what they can do, the Korean state news agency reported.
















Kim Yo Jong said this in an article criticizing Seoul and foreign experts who questioned the performance of North Korean missile and satellite technologies.


Pyongyang has recently carried out numerous ballistic missile tests.


According to state media, Kim Jong Un's sister also denied statements by unnamed foreign experts who doubted that satellite systems, also tested by North Korea, were able to operate normally.


She also reiterated that North Korea was not afraid of sanctions.







North Korea Test-Fires Suspected Ballistic Missile



Pyongyang has carried out another test-launch, firing what appears to be a ballistic missile, the Japan Coast Guard said on Sunday.


Meanwhile, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday, citing the South Korean military, that North Korea had fired an unidentified ballistic missile toward the Sea of Japan.

North Korea has already fired dozens of missiles toward South Korea since the start of 2022, including an intercontinental ballistic missile test-launch carried out in November.


Japan was the target of North Korean missile tests before. In October and November North Korea fired ballistic tests missiles that likely ended up in the Sea of Japan.









Kim Jong Un's sister defends N.Korean ICBM technology



The younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has hit back at South Korea for questioning her country's capability to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles.


Experts in South Korea have suggested the North may be having problems with atmospheric reentry and other technologies because it has been making its missiles follow lofted trajectories rather than launching them at a normal angle.


In a statement issued on Tuesday, Kim Yo Jong hinted at the possibility that North Korea will fire an ICBM at a normal angle to verify its related technology. She added that South Korea will "see and understand" it.


North Korea has claimed that its rocket launches on Sunday were a key final-stage test for the development of a reconnaissance satellite.


South Korean experts have suggested that the launches were a cover for Pyongyang's long-range missile technology.


Kim Yo Jong countered that her country does not disguise missiles as satellites.


Over 60 Russians 'Held Hostage' in US, Arrested on False Charges, Deputy Foreign Minister Says

Over 60 Russians 'Held Hostage' in US, Arrested on False Charges, Deputy Foreign Minister Says

The United States is practically holding over 60 Russians hostage by arresting people on false charges and sentencing them to dozens of years in prison, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin told Sputnik on Tuesday.







"The US authorities have been literally hunting Russians across the globe especially in countries that have bilateral treaties on extradition with the US, seeking the arrest of our citizens on false charges... The overall number of Russian citizens basically held hostage exceeds 60," the deputy minister said.


Vershinin said that US courts sentence Russians to dozens of years in prison, with the tendency becoming even stronger under the current US administration amid rising political tensions between the two countries.


The senior Russian diplomat also urged Russian people to weigh up the risks they could face when traveling to unfriendly countries if there is even the "slightest suspicion" that they could be of specific interest to US secret services and law enforcement as Russians are presumed guilty in this country.


Russia's foreign ministry, embassy in Washington, general consulates in New York and Houston will continue to provide all possible help to Russians who are in trouble and seek their return home, Vershinin added, noting that Moscow would decisively respond to all hostile actions by the US authorities.







Earlier in the month, the US and Russia exchanged imprisoned US basketball player Brittney Griner and Russian businessman Viktor Bout in a one-for-one prisoner swap. Bout was serving a 25-year sentence in the US on arms dealing charges. Griner was sentenced earlier this year to nine years in prison in Russia for illegally bringing cannabis oil into the country.



‘Ghost of Soviet Union’ Still Haunting Washington, Russian Ambassador Says



In its relations with Russia, the United States is still driven by a "Cold War" mentality and finds it hard to accept the changes on the international arena, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said in an interview with Newsweek.

"Washington seems to need to constantly assert itself through competition with Russia. It looks as if the 'ghost' of the Soviet Union is still haunting the corridors of power in the American capital, and the ‘Сold War’ has not ended at all," Antonov said.







According to the Russian ambassador, the United States is driven by a feeling of "exceptionalism," which is why it wanted to create an area of instability at Russia's borders. In addition, many American politicians still act in accordance with the "Cold War" mentality and find it hard to accept the "restoration of Russia's international prestige" under President Vladimir Putin, Antonov said.


He emphasized that it will take a long time to build a multipolar world and, as part of that complex journey, the Russia-US standoff must be mutually respectful.


Earlier this month, Antonov said that, instead of escalating the current situation with baseless accusations, Washington should consider whether the direction of its relations with Moscow was in line with its international obligations.

Pemerintah Kanada telah bersiap melakukan penyitaan aset Granite Capital Holdings Ltd, perusahaan milik oligarki Rusia Roman Abramovich senilai 26 juta dolar AS atau setara 404,6 miliar rupiah.







Penyitaan harta milik oligarki Rusia yang terkena sanksi itu diumumkan Kementerian Luar Negeri Kanada dalam sebuah pernyataan pada hari Senin, 19/12/2022.


"Langkah tersebut menandai kasus pertama pemerintah Kanada menggunakan kekuatan baru untuk mengejar penyitaan aset milik individu yang terkena sanksi," kata kementerian itu, seperti dikutip dari AFP.


Sebagai bagian dari langkah tersebut, Menteri Luar Negeri Melany Joly akan mempertimbangkan untuk membuat aplikasi pengadilan untuk penyitaan aset, dan jika berhasil, hasilnya dapat digunakan untuk rekonstruksi di Ukraina dan kompensasi korban invasi Rusia.


"Kanada akan terus menekan rezim Rusia dan mereka yang mendapat keuntungan dari invasi biadab Putin ke Ukraina," kata Joly.







Menteri Keuangan Kanada Chrystia Freeland turut berkomentar atas rencana penyitaan itu.


"Oligarki Rusia terlibat dalam invasi dan Kanada tidak akan menjadi surga bagi keuntungan yang mereka dapatkan secara tidak sah," katanya.


Kanada telah memberlakukan sanksi terhadap lebih dari 1.500 individu dan entitas dari Rusia, Ukraina, dan Belarusia sejak invasi dimulai pada 24 Februari.

Israel meluncurkan serangan ke Damaskus yang menyebabkan dua tentara Suriah terluka.







Militer Suriah pada Selasa pagi (20/12) melaporkan selain luka-luka, serangan pada Senin tengah malam itu menyebabkan beberapa kerugian material, seperti dikutip dari Times of Israel.


Ini adalah serangan pertama setelah jeda satu bulan. Militer Suriah mengatakan mereka berhasil mencegat dan menembak jatuh sejumlah rudal Israel.


Rekaman video dari warga Israel di dekat perbatasan utara menggambarkan jet Angkatan Udara Israel terbang di atas kepala lalu meluncurkan rudal mereka dari atas Laut Galilea di Israel utara.


Serangan udara yang dikaitkan dengan Israel telah berulang kali menargetkan sistem pertahanan udara Suriah. Tidak ada komentar dari Pasukan Pertahanan Israel atas peristiwa Senin malam, sejalan dengan kebijakannya untuk tidak mengomentari serangan udara di luar negeri secara umum.







Serangan Israel terakhir yang dilaporkan di Suriah terjadi pada 13 November. Serangan yang menghantam sebuah pangkalan udara di provinsi Homs itu menewaskan dua tentara Suriah dan melukai tiga lainnya.


Para pemimpin Israel di masa lalu mengakui menyerang sasaran di Suriah dan di tempat lain dalam apa yang dikatakannya sebagai kampanye untuk menggagalkan upaya Iran untuk menyelundupkan senjata ke proksi seperti kelompok militan Hizbullah Libanon atau untuk menghancurkan gudang senjata.

Tiga Polisi Yordania tewas dan lima lainnya terluka dalam penggerebekan di tempat persembunyian tersangka pembunuh seorang petugas penegak hukum senior di selatan kota Maan.







Dalam sebuah pernyataan, Direktorat Keamanan Umum Yordania mengatakan pada hari Senin bahwa salah satu tersangka, seorang "militan yang menganut ideologi radikal takfiri", tewas dalam operasi tersebut dan sembilan lainnya ditangkap.


PSD menambahkan bahwa para tersangka, "termasuk empat saudara laki-laki dari teroris yang terbunuh yang menembaki pasukan keamanan, tiga anak laki-laki dari salah satu tersangka, dan dua lainnya yang berada di tempat persembunyian."


Para tersangka ditemukan memiliki senjata otomatis dan sejumlah besar amunisi, kata pernyataan PSD.


Dan itu menamai petugas yang meninggal sebagai Kapten. Ghaith Rahahleh, Letnan Dua. Mutaz Najada, dan Corp. Ibrahim Syaqarin.


Putra Mahkota Hussein menghadiri pemakaman Rahahleh di lingkungan Suwaileh Amman. Dua petugas lainnya juga dimakamkan pada Senin di kampung halaman mereka di Madaba dan Tafileh.








Kota-kota Maan, Tafileh, dan Karak telah mengalami protes sporadis dan aksi mogok oleh pengemudi truk yang memprotes kenaikan harga bahan bakar. Polisi mengatakan bahwa beberapa serangan berubah menjadi kekerasan dengan pengunjuk rasa menyerang gedung-gedung publik dan pasukan keamanan.


PSD mengatakan bahwa Kol. Abdul Razzaq Al-Dalabeeh, wakil kepala polisi Maan, tewas setelah ditembak dalam bentrokan dengan pengunjuk rasa di distrik Al-Husseiniya Maan pada hari Kamis.


Mengunjungi rumah belasungkawa keluarga Al-Dalabeeh pada hari Jumat, Raja Abdullah bersumpah untuk membawa para pelaku ke pengadilan, menekankan bahwa kekerasan terhadap negara, perusakan properti publik, dan pelanggaran hak-hak warga Yordania akan ditangani dengan tegas.


Dia berkata: "Kami tidak akan mentolerir kekerasan terhadap personel keamanan kami, yang bekerja siang dan malam untuk melindungi Yordania dan warga Yordania."







Pada konferensi pers setelah pemakaman Al-Dalabeeh pada hari Jumat, pemerintah mengatakan badan keamanan akan mempertahankan "pendekatan ketat" untuk menangani kerusuhan dan kekerasan, sembari menghormati hak rakyat untuk berdemonstrasi secara damai.


PSD mengatakan bahwa 44 orang yang dituduh terlibat dalam demonstrasi menentang kenaikan harga bahan bakar ditangkap selama akhir pekan.


Pengemudi truk di Maan memulai protes mereka dengan mengorganisir aksi duduk di jalan raya gurun yang menghubungkan Amman dan kota pelabuhan Aqaba, sebelum rekan-rekan dari daerah lain, termasuk Amman dan Mafraq di perbatasan dengan Irak, juga bergabung.


Dalam gerakan yang digambarkan sebagai "pembangkangan sipil", para pedagang dari Maan, Tafileh, dan Karak menutup toko mereka untuk menunjukkan dukungan kepada para pengemudi.








Beberapa daerah menyaksikan kerusuhan, blokade jalan, dan pembakaran ban yang mendorong intervensi aparat keamanan.


Pada Sabtu malam, pengemudi truk di Maan menandatangani kesepakatan dengan anggota parlemen untuk mengakhiri pemogokan selama 17 hari yang telah menyebabkan gangguan besar pada lalu lintas dan rantai pasokan.


Berdasarkan kesepakatan yang ditandatangani oleh enam anggota parlemen, para pengemudi setuju untuk meninggalkan jalan raya utama dan kembali bekerja dengan janji bahwa tuntutan mereka akan dipenuhi.


Para pekerja kebanyakan dari Maan, Tafileh, dan Karak – telah menyerukan harga bahan bakar yang lebih rendah dan pembatalan pajak khusus untuk turunan bahan bakar.


Harga bahan bakar, terutama solar dan minyak tanah, melonjak di Yordania selama beberapa bulan terakhir, dengan pemerintah menyalahkan pasar internasional. Ia juga mengatakan telah menghasilkan sekitar 1 miliar dinar Yordania ($ 1,4 miliar) dari pajak turunan bahan bakar.


Selama sesi majelis rendah tentang harga bahan bakar, Perdana Menteri Bisher Khasawneh mengatakan: "Pemerintah tidak memiliki kemewahan untuk mensubsidi turunan bahan bakar.


"Menurunkan harga bahan bakar berarti biaya tambahan sebesar 550 juta dinar Yordania untuk anggaran. Pemerintah tidak punya uang ini.”
