Attention. Translated from Ukrainian channel:

Colleagues, you understand that to return to the front pages of the Western press, simply hitting one or even three Russian military depots is not enough. There is nothing new here, on the line of contact on both sides, this happens all the time.

Our source points out that now it is very expensive for Bankova’s lobbyists in terms of money to support in the Western press at least some positive background of the Ukrainian crisis with an emphasis on Zelensky’s PR.
Now they are trying to have a telephone conversation with Biden, but the US administration is still keeping Bankova (office of the Ukrainian president) at a distance.
Today they even asked the President of Poland, Duda, to help Zelensky be given more platforms to promote the Ukrainian crisis.

The source adds that the West announced two options for returning to the international arena:

- a broad and effective counteroffensive with recaptured territories. Not just a fake about the capture of 30 villages from the Russians, but really at least recapture a small city.

- or tragedy/catastrophe. A chemical or nuclear catastrophe will perfectly return attention to the Ukrainian crisis for weeks ahead, which is very beneficial for the Office of the President and Zelensky, who will again be given "tribunes" to speak, new loans to Ukraine, and new tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Let's see what strategy they choose, we have already described that it is extremely important for the Office of the President to bring the Ukrainian crisis back to the international discussion, otherwise it will die out, and they will forget about it, having stopped giving money and weapons.

Very sad options. Death for Ukrainian soldiers or even more death for civilians as well. Guess, which option Zelensky would chose?

Well, I have recently written several words about strange difference in attitudes towards inevitable "collateral casualties" among Ukrainians (in Ukraine) and almost the same predominantly Russian-speaking but still legally "Ukrainian" population of Donbass.
The problem is, actually, deeper than it was seen before. Because of some strange trend, even Russian (or pro-Russian) channels and bloggers are following Ukrainian narrative and, though trying to tell the truth, very often are setting accent in such a way that Ukrainian side benefits most.
What do I mean? Well, Russian forces are regularly and routinely exploding several Ukrainian ammunition depots every day/night. They also destroy several HQ of Ukrainian Army at the level from a battalion to a brigade. They methodically win counter-battery fight and destroy dozens of Ukrainian howitzers and MLRS (including some of M777 and HIMARS) on a daily basis. However, where that will be written about - yes, @mod_russia_en, and almost nowhere else. Why - because it is boring, that is what you would expect...
Instead there would be a detailed coverage of a strike by a primitive drone on the Black Sea Fleet HQ in Sevastopol, which certainly is annoying, but has not achieved any military objective (though did achieve a propaganda objective). But it did achieve that propaganda objective only because we were writing and reading about it. Yes, there was an unnecessary loss of resources at the airfield due to another drone attack (or sabotage), but it was a one off occasion, measures were taken to avoid its repeating. May be just because it was a one off precedent, it caused such media attention? Why we are all focused so much on those needles and pins from the Ukrainian side and consciously or unconsciously ignore the hummer's blows and systematic grinding of Ukrainian troops by the Russian Army?
Place write in comments what do you think, I am really lost on this. You also may drop it in other good chats to find out the opinions.

Confession on the background of the door to...

British mercenary Aiden Eslin, previously sentenced to death, spoke about the closure of his YouTube channel, the attitude towards Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the performance of the Russian anthem in the DPR pre-trial detention center.

Eslin said that the shutdown of his YouTube channel is simply censorship of the video hosting, which contradicts their narratives. The channel ban is directly related to what the mercenary said.
"My voice has been censored because people don't need to know the truth," Aiden said.

The Briton is perplexed by the fact that he is compared with the "Azov" clogged with swastikas. And his only crime is only that he served in the Ukrainian Army.

Eslin, having a bride in Ukraine, he could not obtain Ukrainian citizenship in any other way, except through a 4-year service to the Kyiv regime.

Well, some patriots will curse me, but I really want that guy to be exchanged for a Russian soldier and they both go home.

Too many words. Time to sleep.

Nebenzya: Not a single Western delegation had the determination to condemn the shelling of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and call on the Kyiv regime to stop them. There was no such courage in the European capitals. From there, only absurd calls for Russia to stop some "recent actions around the ZNPP" are heard. It seems that our colleagues exist in some kind of their own parallel reality, in which the Russian military themselves fire at the station, which they themselves protect, and even from American systems. The apotheosis of this absurdity was the recent statements of the British MP Tobias Elwood and the member of the US House of Representatives Adam Kinzinger, that the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya NPP could be the reason for the activation of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty.

Nebenzya called on the OON to condemn the murder of Daria Dugina.

“Here is her photo from the Peacemaker website, which we have repeatedly spoken about. They openly flaunt her murder. As you can see, the photo of Daria Dugina with the crossed-out inscription “liquidated”. This crime was condemned by the official representative of the US State Department"

Dougas Macgreggor: Expanding NATO to Russia’s borders was never necessary and has become disastrous for Europe. The longer the war with Russia lasts the more likely it becomes that the damage to Ukrainian society and its army will be irreparable.

🤡🎪🇬🇧🇺🇦Johnson forbids Zelensky to negotiate peace: ''You can't negotiate with a bear that eats your leg. And with the street robber who put you on the floor. And, by the way, do not be afraid to humiliate Putin: we don't worry about humiliating a bear or a robber.''

‘The Ukrainian war is a proxy-war. This is a war between Russia and the United States.’ The American writer John Chris Kiriakou believes that Washington is at war with Moscow, but at the same time the United States is not in a position to lose people.

Maria Zakharova on Ukrainian Independence Day:

Today Ukraine should have celebrated Independence Day, but instead it turned out to be a performance: Boris Johnson decorated his residence with sunflowers and hydrangeas, and he himself arrived in Kiev, Ursula von der Leyen shouted the fascist slogan of Bandera collaborators in her video message against the background of the flag of Nezalezhnaya, Olaf Scholz posted holiday tweet, and Joe Biden promised almost $3 billion to kill Ukrainians.

The apogee of this whole Halloween was Zelensky’s promise not to stop the war.

The tragedy of the situation is that it was Zelensky who became the gravedigger of Ukrainian sovereignty.

Instead of a festive salute - the shelling of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.

Instead of confetti - anti-personnel mines-petals in residential areas of Donetsk.

Not much time will pass, and the wild grimaces of Kiev-based nationalism, nurtured with the money of Western liberal dictatorships, will go down in textbooks as another shameful page in the history of Europe.

And all of the above countries will quickly describe the actions of their current politicians as "regrettable."

@NewResistance

RosGuard detained two employees of the Zaporizhia NPP who cooperated with the Ukrainian military, the department said.

Mirgorod. Russian troops shelled a military airfield. The equipment that was on it was damaged, — the press center of the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.

Translated from Ukrainian channel - this time, on a rare occasion, should be true.

Antonovsky Bridge fully functional after repairs. Keep sending money and weapons...

From Donbass devushka

Yes, it is the same bridge that was shelled by HIMARS on multiple occasions. You may see the spots, where they have hit it. Sadly, several road-workers died during the last barrage. However, the bridge is like new.
