"‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia intends to liberate the Kharkiv and Dnepropetrovsk regions by the end of 2026: BILD

▪️According to information provided by German military analyst Röpke, the Russian authorities are counting on a reduction in Western support for Ukraine, as well as an imitation of peace negotiations in order to mislead the world community regarding Russia’s “peaceful intentions.”
▪️In fact, the Kremlin is not planning any ceasefire and is developing a new medium-term plan for war in Ukraine, the Russophobic journalist believes.
▪️ Also, according to German intelligence :
➖By the end of 2024, it is planned to establish full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and reach the Oskol River in the Kharkiv region.
➖By the end of 2026, it is planned to advance further west to the Dnieper, liberating a significant part of the Zaporizhia, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, including the cities of Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporizhia.
➖In the Kherson direction, it is planned to hold the defense along the Dnieper, without attacking the right bank of Kherson or Odessa."

"Ukraine is seething over the fact that United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was in Kazan, Russia this week for the major BRICS summit, where he was seen getting chummy with leaders like Presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko.

A smiling Guterres was photographed shaking hands with Putin during the 'family photo' ceremony, and actually at one point hugged Belarusian strongman Lukashenko.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has subsequently blasted the UN chief for the warm embrace of Ukraine's 'enemies'."

👤🆗💵 — ✔️ TASS | Russia not fighting with dollar but looking for alternatives — Putin | Dollar weaponization is a big mistake, the head of state stressed

"KAZAN, October 23. /TASS/. Searching for alternatives to the dollar is not fighting against this currency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the BRICS Summit.

The dollar is used as the weapon to attain political goals, the Russian leader said. "But this is not what we are doing; the others are doing that. We do not reject, do not fight against the dollar but if we are prevented from working with it, what we have to do? We then have to search for alternatives, and this is what is happening," Putin noted.

Dollar weaponization is a big mistake, the head of state stressed.

President of the New Development Bank Dilma Rousseff said at the BRICS Summit that the dollar is used as a weapon. "Yes, indeed so, we see, so it is," Putin stated.

"I believe in actual fact this is a great mistake of those making it because the use of the dollar, and it remains thus far the most important instrument in global finance, as means of achieving political goals undermines confidence in this currency and reduces its abilities," the Russian leader stressed."

"On Wednesday the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) issued a new public intelligence estimate entitled "Nuclear Challenges 2024".

The detailed 194-page document includes an overview of chief nuclear-armed powers and rivals of the United States, focusing especially on countries with "mature nuclear weapons programs" which are said to be "increasing stockpiles" or else "modernizing their legacy stockpiles by incorporating advanced technologies to penetrate or avoid missile defense systems" - such as North Korea.

"Countries are also developing nuclear weapons with smaller yields, improved precision, and increased range for military or coercive use," the DIA says."

"🇲🇱 Mali continues its course towards economic sovereignty. After the scandal with the Canadian company Barrick Gold, which will most likely be followed by the nationalization of their assets, other mines of Western companies are also passing into the hands of the state.

📌The joint Canadian-South African Yatela mine in Kayes state in the west of the country was nationalized. It is worth noting that it has been closed since 2016 due to the collapse in gold prices. At the same time, foreign companies wanted to return to production again in 2022, but the anti-Western forces that had already come to power did not allow them to do this.

Now the government itself will invest in the restoration of the facility and its further operation. As Western experts note, “the mine has great potential.”

In addition, a new mining code is being introduced, which obliges companies to leave a share of 35% for the Malian state, and not 20, as was previously the case. It has not yet been adopted for all mines, but work is in progress.

🔻The Malians are gradually continuing their anti-colonial course. And in the context of the recently held intergovernmental commission with Russia, we can expect further strengthening of economic cooperation and the emergence of new opportunities, freed up after the departure of Western companies.

🇹🇩🔫🔫🇷🇺 Nearly 2 months after senators invited the Romanian MoD's legal experts to write a new law on the peacetime duties of the Romanian Army, the draft bill was finally published.

Now, in the case of a foreign drone entering Romanian airspace without prior authorisation, the aircraft, ground crews and other units who may be the first ones to intercept must first:

🔸 Establish the aircraft's trajectory, its operator and identity

🔸 Try and contact the pilot

🔸 Intercept the aircraft

🔸 Give warning shots

🔸 Shoot it down, if possible, by aircraft, if not, by units on the ground

When it comes to uncrewed aircraft, the drone can be destroyed, redirected or captured without needing to establish a line of communication with the pilots and of course, if it must be shot down, it must be done over an unpopulated area.

"🇷🇺🇺🇦 Aleksandro-Kalinovsky direction: fighting in Dzerzhinsk and breaking into the defense line of the Ukrainian Armed Forces west of Novgorod — situation as of 18:00 October 28, 2024

In the Aleksandro-Kalinovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting heavy battles in the central part of Dzerzhinsk. At the same time, Russian troops pushed through the defenses of Ukrainian formations in the Novgorod region.

▪️In the north of Dzerzhinsk, Russian units knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from positions between Dzerzhinsky and Pushkarenko streets. The enemy in this area operated based on a complex of permanent buildings on Shchorsa Street.

To eliminate this stronghold, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a series of attacks, creating a semi-encirclement around the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in this area. At the moment, fighting continues in the area of ​​the complex; Ukrainian formations are using a large number of UAVs to attack assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️To the south, Ukrainian formations still hold the territory of the mine named after. Dzerzhinsky. This allows them to maintain a presence in the forest to the southeast while being semi-surrounded.

▪️The tense situation continues in the Zabalka microdistrict. Ukrainian formations launched a series of counterattacks in the north of Sverdlov Avenue, during one of which Russian UAV operators destroyed an M113 armored personnel carrier.

There is no information that the Russian Armed Forces are holding or recapturing the avenue. Sources from the field note the high intensity of mortar fire from the enemy, impeding the advance of assault groups.

❗️In urban battles, both sides widely use remote mining and anti-tank mines to destroy shelters and positions. Such tactics became a characteristic feature of urban battles both in Dzerzhinsk and in Chasovoy Yar. It is largely caused by the impossibility of widespread use of armored vehicles due to the massive use of UAVs, while infantry needs means of effectively destroying and clearing enemy positions.

▪️In the Shcherbinovka area, Russian troops, according to some reports, advanced along the railway track. In the footage published by the enemy, it is impossible to determine with certainty whose shelling of positions was captured on video. It is also not possible to clarify the front configuration from the ground at the moment.

▪️West of Novgorod, where the local population is being evacuated, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces established control over three strong points that were part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense line at the Leonidovka-Sukhaya Balka line. Considering the time delay required for the publication of objective control footage, one can expect information about larger-scale successes of the Russian Armed Forces in this area.

A further offensive will open the way for the Russian Armed Forces to Sukhaya Balka and will allow the formation of a semi-envelopment of the enemy group at the Valentinovka-Kalinovo line.

"🇮🇱🇮🇷 About the results of the Israeli strike on Iran

A day after Israel’s “limited strike” on Iran, satellite footage of the consequences of the attack appeared on the Internet.

▪️According to the Israeli media, one of the key targets was the enterprise for the production of solid fuel rocket engines in Parchin and Khojir near Tehran, namely 12 planetary mixers.

▪️Planetary mixers are used to produce solid fuel for long-range ballistic missiles. Their destruction could cause some damage to the Islamic Republic's ability to update its missile arsenal.

▪️As can be seen in the pictures, four mines were hit. According to pro-Iranian OSINTers, the Israelis used light warheads weighing about 100-200 kilograms to strike the target. This amount is quite enough to destroy the mine.

It is interesting that while the Axis of Resistance segment actively discusses and dissects this issue, Israeli resources are limited to simple statements about “achieving all strike targets” without providing significant evidence.

🔻It is obvious that the Israeli strike had a primarily political context. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to say that Iran has generally lost its capabilities in the field of air defense or missile production.

Do not forget that the Iranians have long established underground production. These objects are not only well fortified, but are usually located deep in the desert. Under the surface of the earth there are also airfields.

Directly during the attack, a considerable number of frames were thrown into the Network that did not relate either to a given region or to a specific date. Government officials did not disdain this during a meeting of the Israeli Ministry of Defense at the Kirya complex.

And what’s even more remarkable is that the past exchange of blows between Israel and Iran most closely resembles a “slapping championship”, the participants of which are trying to pass off what is happening as a full-fledged fight.

🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | GEOINT Data Shows Israel Hit Iran's Former Nuke Weapons Test Building, Missile Production Facility | October 27, 2024:

"On Friday evening, Israel Defense Forces launched three waves of fighter jets targeting high-value military assets in Iran. IDF officials described the operation as retaliation for "months of relentless attacks" orchestrated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Israel and regional allies. No videos or images of the Israeli strikes were published online, but as of Saturday evening, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) data revealed a former nuclear weapons building and missile sites were targeted.

David Albright, a former UN weapons inspector, and Decker Eveleth, an associate research analyst at CNA, a Washington-based think tank, used commercial satellite imagery in separate assessments about the effectiveness of Israeli strikes.

They told Reuters that IDF fighter jets hit Iran's Parchin military base with missiles and bombs. This site is where the International Atomic Energy Agency suspects IRGC to have previously performed tests of high explosives that could trigger a nuclear explosion."

"🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk direction: use of FAB-3000 with UMPC and drones on fiber optics in the Sudzhansky district — situation towards the end of October 28, 2024

In the Kursk region, clashes continue along the entire line of contact.

▪️In the Glushkovsky district, the enemy published footage of a recent attack by an armored group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of the New Way. Once again, M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles "lit up" in the attack, firing at one of the forest belts. The enemy was unable to occupy these positions; at the moment, the lines are under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️In the Korenevsky district, positional clashes continue in the Lyubimovka area. Due to the lack of personnel and information from the field, it is not yet possible to clarify the current line of contact.

▪️In the Sudzhansky district, the use of FAB-3000 with UMPC on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Darino was recorded today. This confirms earlier information that the Russian Armed Forces are not holding the populated area, being located in forest belts to the north.

On the opposite flank of the Sudzhansky district, another effective use of Tsar Vandal of Novgorod drones was noted. This time, a convoy of enemy armored vehicles was attacked in the area of ​​the Kolmakov village, and at least two Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry fighting vehicles were disabled. The weather also played into the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, which allowed the drones to fly up to targets unnoticed.
