Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters wrote a letter to Olena Zelenskaya asking Ukraine to stop opposing Russia.
He recalled Zelensky's election promises: "to bring peace to the Donbass" and "implementation of the Minsk agreements."
"It can be assumed that your husband's campaign politics did not suit certain political factions in Kyiv, and that these factions convinced your husband to change course, ignoring the will of the people,"- Waters writes.

Was "Nord Stream 2" built in vain?
No it wasn't. We got the technology and practically worked it out the whole process. If necessary, we will turn on Nord Stream 2. At the moment "Nord Stream" is practically closed, and everyone says that Russia is using energy weapons. Another nonsense! We supply as much as our partners need. The application has been submitted - we are executing. Give us a turbine, we will turn on Nord Stream tomorrow. They don't give anything! They drove themselves into a sanctions impasse. In Germany now there are demonstrations demanding to turn on Nord Stream 2. We share these requirements of the consumer, we are ready to do it even tomorrow.

We did not impose sanctions on "Nord Stream 2". They did it under pressure from the American government. And why are they pressing? Because America wants to sell - at exorbitant prices to EU! We know the position of the former US administration - "Yes, let them buy from America, because we are protecting them." Well, let them buy if they want....
Russia hasn't got a problem to sell our products said Vladimir Putin at the Economic Forum.

A group of individuals sat in a room and actually thought this would make a good TV show? They are literally programming people to think this is normal, maybe next year they will let us win "pay your food bill for a month". So grateful.
You can also notice the yellow and blue pattern on the wheel, this is all subconscious brainwashing.

“We lost five people for every one they did,” said Ihor, a 30-year-old platoon commander who injured his back when the tank he was riding in crashed into a ditch.
Wounded Ukrainian soldiers reveal steep toll of Kherson offensive
By John Hudson
September 7, 2022 in The Washington Post
Ihor had no military experience before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. He made a living selling animal feed to pig and cow farms. His replacement as platoon commander also has no previous military experience, he said.
The soldiers were interviewed on gurneys and wheelchairs as they recovered from injuries sustained in last week’s offensive. Some spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid disciplinary action. Others, like Denys and Ihor, agreed to reveal only their first names. But most spoke plainly about the disadvantages they faced.
Russia’s Orlan drones exposed Ukrainian positions from more than a kilometer above their heads, they said, an altitude that meant they never heard the buzz of the aircraft tracking their movements.
Russian tanks emerged from newly built cement fortifications to blast infantry with large-caliber artillery, the wounded Ukrainian soldiers said. The vehicles would then shrink back beneath the concrete shelters, shielded from mortar and rocket fire.
Counter-battery radar systems automatically detected and located Ukrainians who were targeting the Russians with projectiles, unleashing a barrage of artillery fire in response.
Russian hacking tools hijacked the drones of Ukrainian operators, who saw their aircraft drift away helplessly behind enemy lines.
Ukraine has discouraged coverage of the offensive, resulting in an information lag on a potentially pivotal inflection point in the nearly seven-month conflict.

Putin commented on the photo of the German chancellor against the background of the turbine for the joint venture
Putin announced the need for Germany to return the turbine
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that "you can take as many photos as you like" near the turbines for the Nord Stream gas pipeline, but this is Russian property. This is how the country's leader reacted to a photo of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in front of a turbine. The statement was made on September 7 at the Eastern Economic Forum.
“Here you can take as many pictures as you like against the background of this turbine, but let's get the documents in the end. This is our property <...> They give nothing but general conversations, ”Putin said.
The photo was taken by the German leader as part of a failed visit to Canada at the end of August. Scholz's request for the supply of liquefied natural gas was not approved due to the fact that at current prices, LNG exports to Europe do not pay off and the Canadian side is unlikely to be able to pay off in the future.
In mid-June, Gazprom announced the shutdown of two, and then another, gas pumping units serving the gas pipeline. The decision was made due to the situation with Siemens turbines, which Germany could not return from maintenance from Canada due to restrictive measures. Because of this, the flow of gas to Germany through the Nord Stream has decreased to 40% of the gas pipeline's capacity. The gas crisis began in the country.
After several weeks in this state, Germany approached Canada to return the refurbished turbine. Ottawa went forward and sent it to Berlin. After that, the turbine should have been sent from Germany to Russia, but the equipment has not yet been delivered and is located in the German city of Mülheim an der Ruhr. Gazprom has repeatedly noted that anti-Russian sanctions hinder the solution of the situation with the transportation of the Siemens turbine for Nord Stream.

Germany "reached the limit" in the supply of weapons to Ukraine from its stocks
07.09.2022
German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht said that Germany had reached the limit for the supply of weapons to Ukraine from the stocks of the Bundeswehr.
She stated this at the plenary session of the Bundestag.
“We have transferred an incredible amount of weapons from the Bundeswehr reserve to Ukraine, but I will say at this point quite clearly - we have reached the limit,” Lambrecht said.
At the same time, she promises that Germany will not weaken its efforts to provide military support to Ukraine, but will make sure "that there are no unilateral steps on the part of Germany."
Lambrecht believes that there are other ways to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for example, a circular exchange, when the FRG provides the EU countries with the latest weapons in exchange for the old ones, which are sent to Ukraine.

Armed Forces of Ukraine stopped attacks in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction due to losses
MOSCOW, September 7 - RIA Novosti. Due to heavy losses, Ukrainian troops suspended the offensive in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
"During the day, in the Nikolaev-Kryvyi Rih direction, due to the large losses in manpower and equipment suffered by the Ukrainian troops, no offensive operations were carried out. The Russian Aerospace Forces, missile troops and artillery continued to deliver precision strikes on units and reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction," they noted in the department.
They also said that in this direction, Russian troops destroyed the command post of the 24th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Olenivka area, military personnel and equipment of the 46th airmobile brigade in the areas of the settlements of Belogorka, Sukhoi Stavok and Andreevka of the Kherson region, as well as the 61st Infantry brigades in the districts of Visunsk and Yavkino of the Nikolaev region.
Near the village of Peremoga in the Nikolaev region, the Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed the ammunition depot of the 406th artillery brigade. They also managed to shoot down Ukrainian MiG-29s and Su-25s.
"Due to heavy losses, the personnel of the 57th motorized infantry brigade in the areas of the settlements of Belaya Krinitsa in the Kherson region and Velikoe Artakovo in the Nikolaev region refused to perform combat missions and left their positions without permission," the Defense Ministry said.
Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. Vladimir Putin called its task "the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years." According to the president, the ultimate goal of the operation is the liberation of Donbass and the creation of conditions that guarantee the security of Russia itself.
During the special operation, the Russian military took control of the Azov part of the Zaporozhye region and the entire Kherson region, occupying such large cities as Kherson, Melitopol and Berdyansk, and cutting off the former Soviet republic from the Sea of Azov. New administrations have been formed in the regions, Russian TV channels and radio stations are broadcasting, and trade and transport links with Crimea are being restored. The regions have announced plans to become part of Russia.
