Kiwi merc came with a sword, died by the sword. Kind of looks like he swallowed a few swords in his time too. Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about monkeypox now...

Ukrop nazis spread "Petal" mines all over Donetsk. It is an official WAR CRIME. Russia brings it up at the UN, nobody even listens. Meanwhile, over 40 civilians have lost legs because of the mines, including kids.

🇬🇧 🛳 The new British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales broke down shortly after she left the coast to participate in exercises with the United States, Sky News reports.
According to him, now the ship worth 3 billion pounds is anchored off the Isle of Wight in the English Channel. The profile edition of Navy Lookout writes that there was a "serious technical malfunction."
In 2020, the same aircraft carrier went out of action for six months due to the flooding of its engine room. Then it was necessary to cancel the departure of the ship to the United States for exercises with F-35 fighters.

Rafael Grosso, head of the IAEA, is a genuine Hero. He has been trying to get to the ZNPP since June, and will personally lead his team on this very dangerous mission. There are already reports that ukrop nazis have planned a false flag attack against the team, which, along with the shelling and the ukrops' use of botulinium toxin make this a real foray into the danger zone for Grosso and his team. Unlike the sold out General Secretary, Grosso is a real Hero who is risking his life for the truth, and to defend Humanity. Bravo!
And God be with them. Davai!

PHASE 3 — THE SEPTEMBER OFFENSIVE
I have predicted that a major Russian/Republican offensive will begin on September 1st. There are multiple reasons I think this, some tactical, some strategic, some pragmatic, some symbolic. Taken together, I find them quite convincing.
1) Russia needs to regain the military initiative. While progress has been made through hard fighting, the fact is that the Donbass Front in the DPR remains virtually unchanged, and neither of the major objectives - Mari'inka and Avdiivka have been taken. Peski was hard won, but a minor victory, and advances beyond the western edge of the village have not materialized.
2) Donetsk, the strategic main city of Donbass, remains under heavy shelling, which has a seriously negative effect on local morale, as well as Russian and international perception of how the Operation is proceeding. The water supply, filtration and pumping stations also remain under shelling, and they are currently operating at about 25% of capacity. This seriously affects millions of DPR citizens, not just in Donetsk, but all the way from Makeevka to Mariupol.
3) The continued shelling of the Russian held Zaporozhia Nuclear Power Plant by US/Ukraine forces is not only a grave danger to Donbass, Southern Russia and beyond, it is a political, and therefore strategic military, threat and liability. The attacks on the ZNPP continue to be the overarching wild card of the Operation, with unpredictable possible consequences. It must be protected, and doing so must be Russia's number one priority. While the IAEA has made some promising gestures, it has become clear that the Administration of the General Secretary of the UN has been corrupted and co-opted, and diplomacy and reason will not be enough to prevent further attacks and provocations on the ZNPP.
4) Winter is coming. Autumn is now here. Russia has a short window of opportunity to achieve and cement its military goals in Ukraine before the weather becomes a major detriment to the Russian Army's ability to maneuver. The falling of the leaves is a substantial advantage for advancing troops searching for dug in defenders in rural areas. But it must also be remembered that while winter ice and snow are very substantial factors influencing the ability of heavy armored columns to move, rain and the ensuing mud are even more of an obstacle, and before winter snow comes Autumn rain. And mud.
5) Russia is ready now. There is no time like the present, there is no good reason for further delay. Along the Ukrainian border, from Belgorod to Crimea, Russia has amassed a fighting force capable of decisive blows against the military forces of the Kiev regime. This, thus far, includes over 400 fixed wing combat aircraft and over 300 attack and transport helicopters, the 15,000 man 3rd Corps, and over 60,000 Russian troops poised and prepared to advance into Ukraine at any time. The 3rd corp is freshly trained, rested and equipped with modern weapons that have not previously been used in the conflict, including T-80BV, T-90M, BMP3 and upgraded EW and air defenses. The 3rd Corps was in Taganrok two day ago, but have already begun to arrive near the Donetsk Front. A reinforcement of 75,000 men would represent a 50% increase in Russian combat forces in Ukraine, which considering Russia's previous successes, could well prove to be decisive.
6) Eighty three years ago, on September 1st, 1939, German nazis invaded Poland in what was to become the beginning of the Second World War. Dmitry Medvedev has recently and explicitly explained that Russia is in Ukraine «to prevent the Third World War». It would be wholly appropriate for Russia to begin the third and final phase of its de-nazification of Ukraine on that symbolic date.

All of the above leads to the conclusion that a new major Russian offensive is as imminent as it is inevitable. The first goals will be the elimination of threats to the Severodonetsk water supply, Donbass cities and civilians, and the ZNPP. These are primary goals. Subsequent liberation of Kharkov and Odessa in a prompt and timely manner will allow Russia to spend the winter consolidation and reinforcing its gains in the majority Russian areas of Ukraine, aka «Novorussia», and allow preparation for the liberation of Kiev and however much more of Ukraine Russia deems necessary to achieve its security requirements. Good luck and Godspeed.

About as real as it gets - Rare heartbreaking drone footage of close combat of the 100th brigade of the People's Militia of the DPR during the breakthrough of the most powerful defense line in Peski.
It's all about motivation. Because our former miners of the DPR are fighting for their land, biting into it with their teeth. And what is Mykola from the city of Ternopil dying for?
