A part of Peski settlement is still controlled by Ukrainean army, earlier reports of liberation were a bit premature.

There are no civilians living in Peski since 2015.

“There are no civilians living in Peski since 2015” is a rather interesting statement from the point of view of most countries. What was going on in Peski since 2015?

As the meta of fact all civilians forced to leave many years ago because constant shelling from Ukraine army. 😡
Reuters reported that the Ukrainian authorities managed to freeze payments on the country's external debt of $19.6 billion for two years. This decision will allow the country to avoid default, but it is not yet clear how this will affect lending.

According to Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal, now it will be possible to save $5.8 billion on payments on external debt until 2024. The government said that the postponement of payments on external debt will make it possible to preserve the Ukrainian economy in the context of a military conflict.

This is a quite expected decision, since the default of Ukraine in the current conditions is not beneficial to Western countries. Such a scenario would hit the mood inside the country and could lead to public unrest, which is now being avoided.

In addition, the Ukrainian default will give grounds to accuse Ukrainian sponsors of insufficient support. And this may affect the political prospects of many pro-Ukrainian Western politicians.

Therefore, support for the Zelensky regime will continue, but to a limited extent. And in the future, more and more difficulties will arise with this.

Residents of Energodar report smoke clouds in the area of ​​the Zaporozhye NPP. According to local sources, five rockets fell near the office not far from the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF), which was already the target of a strike last week. Another five "arrivals" were in the area of ​​the fire station.

The situation clearly demonstrates that in the situation when the disconnection of the station from the Ukrainian power grid will happen soon, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try by any means to damage the operation of the nuclear power plant. These will be rocket and artillery attacks, and the undermining of power lines, and the desire to destroy containers with spent nuclear fuel to create an environmental disaster.

For the Ukrainian leadership, the shutdown of the ZNPP and the creation of a local man-made disaster is a matter of principle. Against this background, no one cares about the people living in the liberated territories.
Scholz demanded that Russia urgently take the Siemens turbines for Nord Stream from Germany.

“Stop with illusory arguments saying that you don’t want it, take it, here it is!”

Russia's position remains unchanged; under the sanctions, supplies of Siemens equipment do not comply with the terms of the contract. In fact, the Germans are mockingly offered to deal with the consequences of their own sanctions on their own and Gazprom is not going to help Germany bypass its own sanctions against Russia.

All this is happening against the background of the cries of the big business in Germany, who demand that the Scholz multi-colored coalition resolve the issue of gas supplies for the winter, since Germany will certainly survive the gas crisis, but in the case of German industry, not everyone will survive. Therefore, through their lobbyists in the Bundestag and through public appeals in the press, big German capital demands that Scholz solve the problem. Hence the humiliating demands of Scholz to take away the German turbine in circumvention of German sanctions. Another question is that the Russian Federation understands all the difficulties of Scholz and is in no hurry to meet him, watching how the pressure inside Germany on Scholz and the company is growing.

Amnesty International has faced a moral dilemma

Western citizens are happy enough to light an Amnesty candle in support of prisoners of conscience in Myanmar, Iran or Cuba. However, the group has been lambasted for criticizing the United States for its use of indefinite detention without trial at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba for terrorism suspects after the 9/11 attacks, and likewise for comparing Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to apartheid. 

In seeking to use an objective ethical yardstick, Amnesty is facing the same moral dilemmas as reputable international news media.

⚡️ RT exclusive

The AFU hit a brewery in Donetsk with a 155-mm shell of the French CAESAR self-propelled gun.

Former special forces soldier Adrian Boke, who now works in the Donbass, filmed fragments of a projectile on the territory of the plant specifically for RT. He was the first, together with the IC investigators, to be at the scene of the emergency.

"I managed to identify the projectile. This is a French shell from the expired stocks of the French army.
Some shells got stuck in the ground and did not explode because they are of poor quality!" says Boke.

According to him, a total of four ammunition did not explode. As Boke says, if all of them had worked and all the ammonia tanks had been damaged, thousands of people could have suffered.

🇷🇺 Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Security Council Vasily Nebenzya: “If the UAF attacks continue, it (nuclear catastrophe) can happen at any moment. Then the territories of Kyiv, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Poltava, Kherson, Odessa, Nikolaev, Kirovograd, Vinnitsa regions will be under the threat of radioactive contamination. Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics. Border regions of Russia and Belarus, as well as Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania. And these are the most optimistic expert forecasts. The real scale of the nuclear catastrophe at the ZNPP is impossible even to imagine. In this case, all responsibility for this will fall on the Western sponsors of Kyiv."
