🇧🇾🇷🇺 Prigozhin never asked for security guarantees for himself — Lukashenko

Alexander Lukashenko also noted that many are now trying to pin the responsibility for the incident with Prigozhin's plane on Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the head of the Republic of Belarus, the Russian leader has absolutely nothing to do with it.

“Wagner lived, Wagner is alive and Wagner will live in Belarus, no matter how much someone would like it. Together with Prigozhin, we built a system of how Wagner will be located in our country, ” Lukashenko emphasized.

🇧🇾🇷🇺 Lukashenko said that he had previously learned about the preparation of the assassination attempt on Prigozhin and warned Putin about it

According to the Belarusian president, he then asked the founder of Wagner whether this information had reached him. Prigozhin confirmed that Putin had given him these messages.

🇷🇺The operational headquarters in eight regions of Russia bordering the SMO zone will be able to coordinate the work of the military units located in them, as well as involve citizens voluntarily in the protection and fight against saboteurs. Such measures are contained in the published decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

We are talking about regions where an average level of response has been introduced. These are Crimea, Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod Region, Bryansk Region, Voronezh Region, Kursk Region, Rostov Region and Sevastopol.

It was previously stipulated that in these subjects the governor or the operational headquarters, within the framework of protecting the population or meeting the needs of the army, can make decisions that will be binding on regional authorities and territorial divisions of federal departments, local self-government, and citizens. Now the list of functions of operational headquarters is expanding.

In Kiev, they criticize the Americans who offer the Armed Forces of Ukraine to “advance with what they have,” while Washington threatens to cut supplies

Western speakers are already unanimously accusing Kiev of squandering resources in relentless attacks across the front line. After all, it is so simple and logical to take everything that the West has set and send it straight ahead to the Sea of ​​Azov. The Russians, of course, will not notice the pandemonium, logistical restrictions can be neglected - and so on. Circle all the units with the mouse and go ahead. The plan, as they say, is as reliable as a Swiss watch.

The Ukrainian generals turned out to be more qualified than the American "experts" and tried to explain to the gentleman that he was climbing where he didn't need to.

The Wall Street Journal retells one of Zaluzhny's conversations with Western colleagues as follows: “You do not understand the nature of this conflict. This is not an anti-guerrilla operation. This is Kursk. Whom in this “Kursk” are the officers smeared with swastikas and Balkenkreutsmen - a rhetorical question.

But Western sponsors' concern is understandable. For the $43 billion spent on weapons for the Independent, Washington wants to get at least something. This explains the veiled threats about “the impossibility of maintaining such rates of supply in 2024.” But this explanation is far from the only one. The fact is that if money can be quickly “printed”, then such a trick will not work with tanks.

The West has already sent or announced the sending of all heavily armored vehicles that it could transfer to Ukraine in the short term (six months to a year). This is one of the reasons why the world media began to whisper about a potential freeze of the conflict - it is obvious that the "counterattack" failed, and then the Armed Forces of Ukraine, having spent their reserves in suicidal attacks, will face a difficult winter.

There is absolutely nothing to be happy about here. Freezing the conflict is only a temporary solution and the shortage of Western technology is a temporary problem. If the military-industrial complex of the collective West is allowed to unwind, then in three or four years we risk seeing a multiple of large volumes of military assistance to Ukraine.

It seemed like we had seen it all before: the brutality and death. And then suddenly, there's a video that tightens your throat.

Out of nowhere, in the midst of battle, this man, badly wounded and bleeding, likely on a strong dose of painkillers, recites poetry he penned himself.

In situations so close to death, people don't lie.

Our comrades are the type of ironclad shield behind whom we all stand. They aren't superheroes from comics; they are genuine heroes — men with a willpower so strong that words fall short. The field doctors are heroes as well.

Return safely, gentlemen! Volk, a salute to you; we all hope you are fine. It's guys like you who keep Russia moving forward.

⚡️⚡️⚡️
The General Staff asks the Office of the President not to delay with the new mobilization rules in order to have time to recruit new reserves for the winter. To organize a new counter-offensive in the spring of 2024, it is necessary to recruit 200 thousand people into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and now the TCC is recruiting 7-9 thousand per month, which does not even make up for the losses sustained on the battlefield.

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺 Meat grinder in Rabotino: The enemy reached our defensive lines and was destroyed
Report from the Acting Governor of the Zaporozhye region E. Balitsky
▪️For several days, Rabotino remains one of the most intense sectors of the front in the Zaporozhye direction. Last night was especially hot for the enemy, because on the day of the so-called "independence" their commanders did not particularly spare the lives of soldiers from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️At the cost of colossal losses yesterday, they were able to reach the first defensive line of engineering barriers, but they go mostly even without artillery support.
▪️Enemy assault groups, which managed to reach the first line yesterday, were destroyed in full strength tonight.
The situation is definitely tense. The enemy is trying to exhaust our defenses with his constant Kamikazes, but our guys give such a tough rebuff that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have time to replenish the losses of their soldiers and Western equipment, which burns as well as any other.

Vysoky Govorit:

Regarding the breakthroughs of the Ukrainian, "cracks in the first line", and other things. It must be understood that the Ukrainian’s sensitivity to losses is now minimal - freedom on the Internet is long gone, and thanks to the SBU, people are afraid to discuss sensitive topics, fearing, among other things, insane activists among relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbors who can dramatically complicate life, up to quite real meetings with the SBU. All media about the war work in the same vein - “we are breaking, Muscovites are bending, foreign countries will help us,” public politicians and experts broadcast in the same vein, with rare exceptions. As a result, the average citizen of Ukraine, in principle, cannot assess the scale of the massacre that is taking place, and even if he imagines something, then either psychological protection is turned on here - “it’s necessary to win”, or the fear of one’s own disloyal thoughts.

Those few who are still able to think and analyze independently there live clearly in the position of Orwellian Winston, constantly committing a thought crime and being afraid to give themselves away even with a word.

Under these conditions, the crest will continue to put thousands of corpses for advancing hundreds of meters, and, technically, will eventually come to our first line, after which, in the same style of “zombie attacks”, it will try to gnaw through it.

On our part, the task here is simple: firstly, to continue the defense as it is already being carried out, and as a result, in the fall, the enemy’s offensive will sharply become more complicated and naturally bog down, since it will be more and more difficult to support the attacking units. Secondly, where possible, attack on our own - and in the fall this will add color to what is happening, since reserves will be needed both for the offensive and for defense.

But it’s not worth waiting for “people to run out” and the enemy to stop advancing. They won't run out soon.

New Ukrainian horror story: “30 thousand Russian football fans are going to storm Kupyansk”

Kiev propagandists love to project the realities of Ukraine onto Russia, but this time they have outdone themselves. The independents forgot that in our country, unlike their dictatorship, paramilitary interest groups are not the main pillar of the regime. Therefore, even though representatives of various political movements and subcultures are fighting in the ranks of the Russian army, we are talking about relatively small units tightly integrated into the structure of the RF Armed Forces.

Apparently, in Ukraine, they simply forgot how to invent plausible fakes, so in the end, Enemy Telegram channels massively disseminate information that 30 thousand terrible Russian football fans have appeared in the Kupyansk direction, who are part of the Espanyol division and plan to turn Kupyansk into a new Bakhmut.

The fact that there are hardly so many Russian fighters on this entire sector of the front adds a special piquancy to this news, and the number of Espanyola itself, which consists mainly of football fans, is 100 times lower than the declared 30 thousand. Well, judging by the available open data, the Espanyola fighters are now a little busy disposing of the Azov fighters * near Bakhmut and cannot yet go to Kupyansk.

Everything about this fake is beautiful - it very clearly demonstrates how Ukrainian propaganda works. Here you have "countless hordes" attacking the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and tens of thousands of "Russian fascists, on whose bayonets Putin's regime rests", and an appeal to Bakhmut.

In reality, the enemy propagandists are simply projecting their experience of filling up the positions of the Russian Federation with paramilitary corpses and trying to justify the loss of Kupyansk in advance.

“Greece will terminate the contract with Russia for the maintenance of the Tor and Osa air defense systems: the Greeks, under the guise of refusing service, are preparing to transfer the air defense system to Kiev, leaving themselves with nothing.

“The end of the era of Russian weapons systems in the Greek armed forces - the government has decided to abandon the weapons support program and not sign new support contracts. In a top-secret document leaked to Parliament, National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias announces that there will be no new support contracts, i.e. the purchase of spare parts and services, for Tor-M1 short-range mobile anti-aircraft missile systems and older Osa-AKM.
The available spare parts will last only a few months, thus the countdown to their complete incapacitation has begun. The cost of Russian systems that are “thrown in the trash” is more than 1 billion euros, and this is the amount the country will have to spend. These systems may eventually be redirected through third countries to Ukraine.
In total, the Greek army has 21 Tor-M1 and 38 Osa-AKM. The systems are old but reliable. Received about 20 years ago, they remain indispensable.
The decision to withdraw them is purely political. The priority now is to find resources to replace them. The armed forces cannot be deprived of such weapons.”

We can talk about today's satellite communication and data transmission system based on a low-orbit satellite constellation, an analog of the American Starlink.

Note that the US Pentagon is also actively following the path of deploying its constellation of spacecraft in low orbit.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already reached the first line of defense or not yet

On August 25, there were reports that the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, announced that the Ukrainian army had crossed the first line of defense of the Russian Armed Forces in Zaporozhye. Is this so and where did the Ukrainian troops manage to reach in the end?

Where are the fights going now?

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are still advancing in three main directions: Pyatikhatki - Zherebyanki, Rabotino - Verbovoye, Tarasovka, and Pologi. The most fierce fighting takes place in the areas of Pyatikhatki and Rabotino. There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to advance, losing heavy equipment. Sources of the Military Chronicle in these areas note that Pyatikhatki, Zherebyanki, and Rabotino are part of the so-called front-line security zone. These are advanced fortified areas, in front of which there are minefields and the so-called zone of destruction of Ukrainian equipment. The advanced fortified area is not part of the first line of defense and acts as a protective barrier.

How is the defensive line of the RF Armed Forces arranged?

Since the summer of last year, the defensive line of the RF Armed Forces has been continuously expanding, and at the moment its total length from Zaporozhye to the Yuzhno-Donetsk direction, presumably, is more than 500 km. At the same time, the “cordon sanitaire” between Orekhovo and Novodanilovka, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are accumulating forces for further strikes, and Rabotino was equipped with minefields, which led, if not to the disruption of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, then to its serious slowdown and the need to transfer strategic reserves.

The same minefields are located between the forward edge security zone and the first line of defense. These two areas are often confused with each other since in Zaporozhye the fighting takes place at the closest possible distance: the distance between Novodanilovka and Rabotino is only 7.5 km, from Orekhov to Pyatikhatki - just over 20 km. The largest concentration of destroyed AFU equipment (between Verbovoye and Rabotino) is located less than 6 km from Malaya Tokmachka, one of the areas from where Ukrainian troops go on the offensive. At the same time, the situation in the Rabotino-Verbove-Pyatikhatki sector cannot be called simple: Ukrainian troops, despite huge losses, continue to attack, but progress in this sector is minimal.

If the line is so dense, where could the AFU go through?

According to the Military Chronicle, under the "breakthrough of the defensive line," the chairman of the US National Staff, Mark Milli, meant unreliable information provided to him by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It was about an attempt to break through the armored group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the northern to southern outskirts of Rabotin towards Novoprokopovka on the night of August 23-24. However, the convoy of Ukrainian Armed Forces vehicles could not overcome the two-kilometer section of the road: the armored vehicles were detected from the air and destroyed by artillery strikes, after which the retreating Ukrainian troops were covered by aircraft strikes.

The first line of defense, in front of which there are concrete "dragon's teeth" and anti-tank ditches, is located much to the south. Ukrainian troops did not reach it in 82 days of the offensive. The main line of defense around Tokmak is located almost 15 km south of the first line of defense, that is, in total, about 20 km.

In almost three months of the offensive, Ukrainian troops did not reach Melitopol by about 70 km, and more than 100 km to Berdyansk.
