T-72B3 flying the old flag of the U.S.S.R.! Near the village of Rybinskoye. Notice this vehicle is marked with an ‘O’.
Perhaps because of the capture of documents revealing a massive offensive against Russia, Russia is now flooding the Donbas and Kiev Areas of Operations (AO) with more and newer military equipment. What I found interesting is that one of the videos shows Russian BMP-2s carrying old Soviet Union flags!
This ‘V’ marked tank is the latest T-90M.
I think the ‘V’ indicates Kiev AO. Posted 09MAR2022, masses of BMP-2s, T-72B3s, BM-21 Grads, 2S3s:
‘V’ marked T-72B3.
Posted 07MAR2022, ‘V’ marked support vehicles pour into Kiev AO, Ukraine:
Posted on 06MAR2022, ‘V’ marked BMD-2s, T-72s, MTLBs:
‘V’ marked T-90M and BMP-2:
In the Donbas AO, ‘Z’ marked newer military gear is coming in. I think the ‘Z’ is from a new Russo-Ukrainian word ZaНАШИХ, or За НАШИХ (ZaNASHIKH), which means For Ours. This is a way of saying the Donbas area is Russian. It could also mean For Victory, which is Зa ПОБЕДУ, or ZaПОБЕДУ (ZaPOBEDU).
Armored train.
An Armored train was used to evacuate foreign civilians from Kherson Oblast of Ukraine to the city of Armyansk of the Republic of Crimea. The ‘silly-vilians’ are from Turkey, Ukraine, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Sweden, Italy, Brazil, Morocco and India.

Back in February I warned that there was evidence that Biden/NATO/Ukraine was going to start a full-on war with Russia in March. On 09MAR2022, Russia announced that its soldiers captured Ukrainian National Guard documents that revealed that there is a massive offensive planned against Russia, to start in March! The plans are dated 22JAN2022!

Russia claims to have damning evidence the U.S. was using Ukraine for biological warfare experiments in at least thirty Ukrainian biological laboratories. It is yet more evidence of a massive global biological warfare program commanded by the U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), that I’ve been reporting since 2015, when I discovered a U.S. military operation called JUPITR ATD. Russia also accuses NATO members like Germany and Poland, and the NATO protectorate Georgia, of being involved in Ukrainian biologic experiments.
In this Russian Ministry of the Defense of Russia video, posted 07MAR2022, it was also discovered that DTRA ops in Ukraine ramped up in 2014 (after the pro-NATO ‘revolution’) and that since then there have been outbreaks of numerous diseases in Ukraine, to the point the United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) says you don’t want to go there. Russia says the U.S. biological experiments violates international law and is a war crime:
Russian Defense Ministry video, posted 05MAR2022, showing an abandoned Ukrainian army camp near the village of Radensk, Kherson Oblast. The capturing force vehicles are marked with ‘Z‘ indicating Donbas Area of Operation (AO). The troops are wearing white arm bands on their left arms. The intact Ukrainian vehicles now in the hands of the Donbas are BMP-1s, BTRs, BRDMS and T-64BV, plus crates and crates of various ammo:
Video report posted on 05MAR2022, the liberation of the town of Trekhizbenka by Russians who are wearing white bands on their left arms and Russian ‘liberation’ armbands on their right shoulder. Some soldiers are wearing white bands around their right leg. Video shows packages of 12.7mm ammo and RPG rounds left behind by Ukrainians. Villagers tell the reporter the Ukrainians took military control of their town in 2014. It appears the Ukrainians gave-up the town without a fight:
Yet another abandoned Ukrainian BTR-4E, along the Kharkiv-Poltava highway, 04MAR2022.

NATO has deployed its Response Force for the first time. Keep in mind that members of NATO are officially called “member states” indicating that NATO is not just a ‘defensive’ military pact, but is a pseudo-government!
NATO press conference, 04MAR2022, in which it is clear NATO is not going to fight for Ukraine, saying “We are not part of this conflict, and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond Ukraine.”:

At the beginning of March, NATO France deployed some of its Rafale jets to help patrol over NATO Poland.
At the end of February, NATO United Kingdom began ‘forward deploying’ its Royal Welsh armor units in NATO Germany into NATO Estonia. Royal Air Force jets based in Cyprus are now patrolling over NATO Poland and NATO Romania. The Royal Navy is sending ships from NATO U.K. to patrol the Baltic Sea.

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia. Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine. In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R. In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence. Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU). Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now. Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems. How do you tell them apart during combat?
This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.
Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings. They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not. They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.
Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:
Somewhere in Donbas.
In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

Video of Russians meeting with Lugansk Republic troops, 03MAR2022:
T-64BV somewhere in Donbas.
Video report, posted on 03MAR2022, Ukrainian Ground Forces abandoned a T-64BV, Lugansk Republic forces quickly claimed it by spraying ‘Z‘ symbols on it, and working to repair it for their own use (it was one of two abandoned T-64BVs, the video also shows an abandoned BRDM-2):
Abandoned Ukrainian T-64BV, now in the hands of the Donbas militias as indicated by the ‘Z’ painted on the skirts.
In the Northern Kiev Oblast AO the vehicles are marked with a ‘V’. Video of ‘V‘ marked Russian BMPs, BRTs and T-72B3s entering the Kiev Oblast of Ukraine from Belarus, the road sign gives the location away as the Gomel (Homiel) Oblast, Belarus-Kiev Oblast, Ukraine border crossing (heading towards Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?), 03MAR2022:
When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.
At the beginning of March 2022, Russian forces passed by a platoon sized element (4) of Ukrainian built BTR-4Es, all abandoned, with none showing signs of combat!

They carried the Red Cross insignia of the Ukrainian Ground Forces. Going by the ‘Z’ symbol on the Russia vehicles this was in the Donbas Area of Operation.
Video, apparently the BTR-4Es can’t handle the mud:

“What the U.S. report says about China’s Taiwan region is a gross interference in China’s internal affairs and violation of the one-China principle and the basic norms governing international relations. We are firmly opposed to that.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022
“If a nation’s defense authorities are obsessed with confrontation and deliberately make waves in the South China Sea, what it will lose is not just the next decade, but also its international credibility and the opportunities to cooperate with regional countries.”-Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, China’s Ministry of National Defense, 24FEB2022, referring to the recently created U.S., U.K. and Australia military pact called AUKUS (Australia United Kingdom United States)
Reports by TASS that Russian Ministry of Emergencies is giving refugees from Donbass Oblast a one time payment of 10-thousand rubles (which is about USD$120, not a lot of money for people in the U.S., but a lot for Russia).

Already there is at least 117-thousand refugees now in Russia’s Rostov Oblast!
