💢 From a Ukrainian soldier:

What can you say about the current situation? This is what we have been waiting for so long - a successful and clear offensive. In fact, there is no miracle here, everything is done according to the basics of military science - hidden concentration + choosing the right direction for a strike + more than threefold superiority + suddenness = Success. Although there is still an element of a miracle here - the epic pohuizm of the enemy command. So epic that it was hard to believe that this was not some hidden agenda. Looks like no.
However, I will express my concerns. Calling what is happening a victory is wrong. Now success, victory will be only when the last enemy soldier leaves our land. Therefore, I will not stop spoiling the super-possible mood of many. So here are the concerns.
Compare the battle for Izyum and Liman, when we defended them. And compare with what was now. And this is what happened: we defended these cities to bloody snot, although it was clear that we could not hold them. And then the Command declared them not so important at all. The Russians, at the first threat of destruction of their forces, quickly sacrifice the captured city. Thus, although we are advancing, we do not physically destroy the enemy, and at the same time we suffer losses from his bombs and artillery. And this means that the enemy is ALIVE. And he did not lose his strength. And the further we get closer to the state border, the more difficult it will be. And at one point we will have to fight actually on the threshold of his house, from where he will receive waves of reinforcements.
And also, if the enemy does not run through the fields-gardens, namely, he evacuates in advance, then he follows this plan. Therefore, at the next occupation of the city without a fight - before celebrating, recount with what enemy forces the battle was postponed to tomorrow.
Relax early - the war continues!

SO LET'S DO IT! NOW!

🇷🇺 The need to "relocate" large contingents of troops by curtailing entire axes again raises the question of the insufficient size of the grouping in the entire theater of operations as a whole. From February to September, they tried to solve this issue by strengthening recruitment for contract service, mobilization in the DPR and LPR, recruitment into PMCs, the formation of BARS, the 3rd Corps, etc. However, six months later, the problem still exists and has the most serious impact on the course of operations.

Happy Birthday to Syrian lion Bashar al Assad / شار حافظ الأسد 🇸🇾

🇷🇺🇨🇳 The meeting between Putin and Xi Jinping at the SCO summit will be a signal of support for the Russian Federation - media

According to the Handelsblatt newspaper, "the chairman of the PRC has not left China for more than two years, and his first trip abroad is now aimed at meeting with the president of Russia."

Wise words from The Commander - be sure to read the last paragraph, then read it again. POWER!

Alexander Khodakovsky, [9/10/2022 12:37 PM]
Well, if we don’t strike somewhere in another direction, demonstrating signs of strategic thinking, then there will be only one scenario: the enemy will run out of steam somewhere, because we, too, will run out of steam by a certain moment, lose their offensive potential, stop - there will be more or less a stationary line of contact, where everyone will have zero positions. Zero, because neither they nor we will be buried in the ground, and we and they will hastily have to do this under "musical accompaniment". And then the main war will begin: the war of meanings and the war of economies. And whoever is stronger in this war will win.

Alexander Khodakovsky, [9/10/2022 8:30 PM]

You know, I, like all of you, certainly have complex feelings from what is happening, but it’s easier for me - firstly, I understood the real state of affairs, and at least not like that, but I was waiting for something, resorting to the wording on federal channels, like this: "we have not yet exhausted our offensive potential ...", hinting with the adverb "still" that we will soon exhaust ... And secondly, I recall the words of the first German general captured in "The Living and the Dead" : we seem to teach you how to fight.

Ukraine has not yet understood, like the rest of the West, that this private victory is the beginning of their global defeat. Without our defeat, the president would never have seen what they tried to hide from him for many years. The trigger is cocked - we begin to reboot.

COMMANDER KHODAKOVSKY IS RIGHT - IF THE FIASCO IN THE KHARKOV REGION RESULTS IN PRESIDENT PUTIN FINALLY UNDERSTANDING THE EXTENT OF INCOMPETENCE, CORRUPTION AND TREACHERY IN THE TOP LEVELS OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, IT WAS A SACRIFICE WORTH SUFFERING THROUGH.

BUT IT IS A BIG "IF". WE WILL SOON SEE... THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FUCKUP SHOULD BE SENT TO THE FRONT AS PRIVATES. THAT WOULD BE A GOOD START. LET THE REBOOT BEGIN!!! ✊🏻👊🏻💥 ❤️🇷🇺

Kadyrov: I officially declare that we will return Kupyansk and Balakleya and reach Odessa

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, believes that the situation in the Kharkiv sector of the special military operation will soon change, and Russia will go on the offensive there.

He noted that the Ministry of Defense “finally clarified” the situation, why our units left the cities of Izyum, Kupyansk, Balakleya in the Kharkiv direction - this was forced to save human lives. However, according to Kadyrov, this "does not mean anything."

“I, Ramzan Kadyrov, officially declare to you that all these cities will be returned back. Our people are already there, guys specially trained for this work, they are ready to leave for another 10,000 of our fighters, and in the near future we will reach Odessa,” Kadyrov said.

“The situation on the ground is very interesting. I would even say “awesome”,” Kadyrov said.

Lest we forget - WTC 7 is THE irrefutable PROOF that 9/11 was an inside job. There is NO other physically possible explanation for how it fell except controlled demolition, which requires weeks of preparation by experts.

Also never forget 9/11 1973.

49 years ago, on September 11, 1973, there was a military coup in Chile that overthrew President Salvador Allende and the Popular Unity government. The coup was a carefully planned military operation, prepared and carried out under the direction and with the direct participation of the US CIA.

Forty people from Allende's guard courageously defended the presidential palace for seven hours. The President of Chile died on a military post like a hero, with weapons in his hands. In the factories and factories of the capital, fighting went on all day. Today, it is already known for certain about the atrocities of the putschists: having occupied enterprises, the soldiers killed communists, socialists and trade union leaders without trial or investigation. Militants of the ultra-right organization Patria and Libertad behaved with impunity. In violation of all international rules, the Cuban embassy was subjected to an armed attack. The second victim was the diplomatic mission of the Soviet Union.

Power in Chile was seized by a fascist military junta led by General Pinochet. After September 11, mass repressions began in Chile. During the years of Pinochet's dictatorship, more than 60,000 people died or went missing. The atrocities of the junta at the National Stadium in Santiago became known to the whole world, which turned into a prison and a place of execution. Among those who died there was the legendary singer, member of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Chile, Victor Jara. In the very first days of the coup, the leader of the Chilean communists, Luis Corvalan, was thrown behind bars.

Ukrainian propaganda is actively trying to sow panic, making the expected mass stuffing about the capture of certain settlements. Always double check your information.

▪️APU near the suburbs of Lisichansk is a fake. Dozens of kilometers to Lisichansk front line

▪️APU entered the Donetsk airport - fake. And very funny

▪️The capture of Alexandrovka in the Kherson region is a fake. The village is behind us

▪️Evacuation from Svatovo (LPR) - fake. Those who were evacuated from Kupyansk and Izyum are going through the city.

▪️Loss of Krasny Lyman-fake

▪️Kupyansk for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not an accurate infa. For the APU only the western part of the city.

🇷🇺Victory will be ours. Khokhlov surprises await. patience for all of us

💥⚡️ Ukrainian militants wanted to break through near Donetsk

The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack the positions of the People's Militia near Donetsk. Within two days, Ukrainian militants planned to regain control over a section of the Donetsk ring road beyond Peski. But our military successfully repelled the attempts of Ukrainian militants.

The surviving nationalists fled, leaving their wounded comrades. They were rescued by servicemen of the DPR People's Militia.

“When we went to the location, we immediately came under mortar fire. There were a lot of injured and killed, the BMP left, they didn’t give us any help, and they didn’t even try to take us out,” says the captured soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The total losses of the Ukrainian army amounted to about 40 people, several neo-Nazis were captured.

❗️💥 “Ukraine, stop shooting us!” - children of the liberated territories of the Zaporozhye region ask the AFU to stop bombing them

Little children of the Zaporozhye region talk about their life under constant shelling of the AFU. At such a young age, they are already afraid for their lives, for their relatives and friends, for their homes and families, who suffer from constant rocket arrivals.

“I go to the farthest room and I'm trembling with fear there,” say the children, tired of the endless arrivals of Ukrainian shells. They know and understand perfectly who is shooting at their houses: “Russian soldiers are protecting us, and they (Ukrainians) are shooting at us!”

Ukrainian troops are engaged in wide-spread looting and murder in the captured territories of Kharkov region: according to the sources on the ground, looting groups of Ukrainian militants broken into the basement, where a wealthy Roma family, owning a large restaurant in Izyum, was hiding from the shelling, and requested to hand over valuables at a gunpoint. When they declined, the head of the family was shot on the spot.

Another reported case, apparently in Izyum, too, was an assault on the house of a local businessman. The Banderites blew the door, the owner was killed by the explosion before he could even open the door.

Similar messages arrive from Kupyansk, where groups of Ukrainian militants go door-to-door, raiding private apartments and houses. #context

While Russia was slowly advancing against dug in Ukrainian forces, the US and NATO provided Ukraine with billions of dollars of military equipment, including the equivalent of several armored divisions of heavy equipment (tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery, and support vehicles), along with extensive operational training on this equipment at military installations outside Ukraine. In short, while Russia was busy destroying the Ukrainian military on the battlefield, Ukraine was busy reconstituting that army, replacing destroyed units with fresh forces that were extremely well equipped, well trained, and well led.
The second phase of the conflict saw Russia destroy the old Ukrainian army. In its stead, Russia faced mobilized territorial and national units, supported by reconstituted NATO-trained forces. But the bulk of the NATO trained forces were held in reserve.
These are the forces that have been committed in the current phase of fighting—a new third phase. Russia finds itself in a full-fledged proxy war with NATO, facing a NATO-style military force that is being logistically sustained by NATO, trained by NATO, provided with NATO intelligence, and working in harmony with NATO military planners.
What this means is that the current Ukrainian counteroffensive should not be viewed as an extension of the phase two battle, but rather the initiation of a new third phase which is not a Ukrainian-Russian conflict, but a NATO-Russian conflict.
The Ukrainian battleplan has “Made in Brussels” stamped all over it. The force composition was determined by NATO, as was the timing of the attacks and the direction of the attacks. NATO intelligence carefully located seams in the Russian defenses, and identified critical command and control, logistics, and reserve concentration nodes that were targeted by Ukrainian artillery which operates on a fire control plan created by NATO.
The tactics used by Ukraine appear to be completely new. Probing attacks are launched to force the Russians to reveal their defensive fires, which are then suppressed by Ukrainian counterbattery fires directed by drones and/or counterbattery radars. Then highly mobile Ukrainian forces rapidly advance through identified seams in the Russian defense, driving deep into largely unprotected territory. These main columns are supported by raids carried out by vehicle mounted troops which strike Russian rear area positions, further disrupting any Russian response.
In short, the Ukrainian army that Russia is facing in Kherson and around Kharkov is unlike any Ukrainian opponent it has previously faced. Advantage, Ukraine.
Russia, however, is a capable military opponent. The potential for a Ukrainian counteroffensive has been known for some time. To think that Russia has been taken completely unawares is to be dismissive of the professionalism of the Russian armed forces.
But there are some operational realities that accrue when Russia has self-limited itself to a forces structure of around 200,000 men, especially when fighting on a battlefield as large as the one that exists in Ukraine. Ther are simply not enough forces to go around, and as a result, Russia has deployed forces in low-priority sectors more thinly than would be otherwise advisable. These forces occupy strongpoints that are designed to cover the gaps between strongpoints with firepower. The Russians have also identified forces who would reinforce these thinly held areas of the front as required.
It is possible to have a situation where Russia anticipated the potential for a concerted Ukrainian counterattack, and yet was still taken by surprise at the combination of new factors that presented themselves once this attack materialized. The speed of the Ukrainian advance was unexpected, as were the tactics used by Ukraine. The level of operational planning support and intelligence provided by NATO in support of this counterattack likewise appeared to have taken the Russians by surprise.
But the Russian army is extremely adaptive.

In fact, the correct way of saying should be that for some reason the Armed Forces of Ukraine began shelling their own electrical substations.
