Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has figured out the general of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who ordered to block the humanitarian corridors in Mariupol

MOSCOW, October 28 - RIA Novosti. Russian investigators have identified a Ukrainian lieutenant general who ordered the blockade of humanitarian corridors in Mariupol in order to use civilians as human shields.

"Currently, work continues with the military personnel of the Azov special forces regiment, who carried out general coordination of actions on the territory of Mariupol. The identity of the commander of the South and East group of troops, Lieutenant General Pavlyuk, who was given orders to block humanitarian corridors, has been established," noted there.

As the investigation established, the defence headquarters under the command of the general ordered the destruction of all those moving in Mariupol, including those who did not pose a threat to Ukrainian military women and children.
The Investigative Committee has assigned Pavlyuk the status of an accused, and measures are being taken to search for and arrest him.
In March, Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Commander of the Joint Forces Operation in Donbass, Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk, head of the Kyiv Regional Military Administration in order to strengthen the defence of the Ukrainian capital. In May, Pavlyuk was removed from this position due to the lack of hostilities in the Kyiv region.
During the liberation of Mariupol, the Russian side opened humanitarian corridors both towards the DPR and towards the territories controlled by Kyiv, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine disrupted their work and repeatedly fired at civilians who tried to leave the city.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that Serbia ought to join Western sanctions on Russia if it is serious about future EU membership.

"It's important [Serbia] is aligned with our foreign and security policy. Joining the EU in the end, means sharing our values.”

Serbia is not currently a member of the EU. Given the current conditions of the EU and their destructive absolutist policies, it’s probably in Serbia’s best interests to stay away from that. They are bullies no different than the US.

Translated from Brussinf:

Tanks of PMC* "Wagner Group" are destroying the fortified area of ​​the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the vicinity of the Donbasskaya electrical substation.

The battles for the strategic facility in the Bakhmut direction ended on September 18, but for obvious reasons, it is possible to post some footage of the assault only now.

The “musicians” then had to break through very well-equipped enemy positions, on which the tanks are working on the video.

The capture of the substation allowed the "Wagner Group" fighters to gain fire control over all movements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the outskirts of Bakhmut, Zaitsevo, Vesela Dolina and created favourable conditions for a further offensive.

* Private Military Company — yes, tanks. For you not to think, that PMC are just guys with small arms. PMC "Wagner Group" also has battlefield attack aviation (not sure about submarines)...

The United States are afraid of cutting off the supply of weapons to Ukraine?
After 1 million shells were supplied, the stocks are low

Recently, US Defence Secretary General Austin announced that the military assistance of the United States and its allies to Ukraine will slow down because it is difficult to meet the needs of Ukraine for weapons and ammunition. The US media speculates that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has assisted Ukraine with more than 1 million large-caliber artillery shells. After that, the US ammunition facilities have been in a hurry, and the NATO ammunition stocks have also reached the red line. According to data from the German Institute, the shells and tanks provided by Norway and Slovenia alone exceeded 40%. At the same time, Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmyhal also stated that Ukraine is now in desperate need of new ammunition due to the battlefield situation.

The current situation is very unfavourable to the Ukrainian army. Both Russia and Ukraine are gathering troops in the Kherson area, and a decisive battle is expected in Kherson. So at such a moment when the battle of Kherson is imminent, the United States has slowed down its military aid to Ukraine. Does this mean that the United States will cut off military assistance to Ukraine?

First of all, the ongoing war has made both Russia and Ukraine, as well as the Western countries that support Ukraine behind it, exhausted, and after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Western countries are facing an energy crisis, and they have been overwhelmed. The EU has begun to reduce reimbursement for military aid in Ukraine, and internal differences are obvious.

Secondly, Ukraine wants high-end weapons, and the output of the United States obviously cannot keep up with the consumption of the AFU on the battlefield.

Finally, there have been many voices against the provision of military aid to Ukraine in the United States, and the United States is now facing a crisis of inflation, coupled with the urgent lack of stock of US military ammunition, these news are not beneficial to the Democratic Party.

In summary, as far as it seems, the United States has slowed its military assistance to Ukraine, which has not only cooled down the conflict, eased the tension, but also given its domestic weapons and ammunition a chance to restore stocks. In the short term, the United States would not completely cut off military aid to Ukraine, but maintain the NATO coalition countries and ease internal conflicts and urgent public opinion through the slow-down plan, and cool down nuclear war rattling.

TUCKER CARLSON: Thanks to Biden's religious war in Ukraine, the US is about to run out of diesel fuel.
Watch full video here.

Russia is an orthodox Christian country with traditional social values and for that reason, it must be destroyed, no matter what the cost to us. This is a jihad.

What is a jihad going to mean for you? The details are stunning.

The Russian ruble is now far stronger than it was a year ago. The European economy, meanwhile, is collapsing. And the US is about to run out of diesel fuel.

Combat use of the Kub-BLA kamikaze drone

Footage of the combat use of the Russian Kub-BLA loitering ammunition manufactured by ZALA AERO GROUP of the Kalashnikov concern.

In the video, airborne troops deploy the complex and launch a drone. The operator guides the loitering ammunition to the detected position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after which the UAV accurately hits the target.

The RF Armed Forces have repeatedly used Kub-BLA and Lancet kamikaze drones for targeted destruction of equipment of Ukrainian formations, including disabling radar stations and anti-aircraft missile systems.

Certainly, Russian Army has a wide range of high-precision ammunition. However, their numbers, especially in the places where they are needed most, are limited. The problem is partially solved with Geran-2 loitering ammunition drones.

Russia overtakes US in export of nuclear reactors, says IAEA chief
29.10.2022 - 11:46

Russia has surpassed the United States in the world markets for the export of nuclear reactors. According to the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, this was due to a more flexible funding model.

The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced at a Carnegie Endowment conference that the dominance of the world's commercial nuclear reactor markets has shifted from the United States to Russia.

“I think this is a challenge for America. She has traditionally been a leader. It has lost that leadership,” Grossi said, commenting on the issue of commercial nuclear power technologies.

According to him, at present, "the main supplier [of commercial nuclear technologies to world markets] is Russian."

At the same time, Grossi noted the US attempts to restore leadership. According to him, the American nuclear industry is needed both at home and abroad. Especially in view of the current energy crisis.

However, Rosatom and the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) use different funding models than US competitors, Grossi said.

“Of course, they use a different funding model, which allows them to move with more flexibility, including in international markets. So this is a challenge for American companies abroad,” the head of the agency emphasized.

Grossi visited Moscow on 11 October and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They discussed the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP. Before that, he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, they also talked about the situation at the station. The shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant continues. The parties blame each other for them.

This year, Rosatom announced plans to create a company to promote reactors of various capacities on the world market. It is planned to create it on the basis of Rusatom Overseas by the end of the first quarter of 2022. Andrey Rozhdestvin, who currently holds the position of Regional Vice President for Western Europe at Rusatom International Network, will be appointed as the General Director of the new company.

Currently, Rosatom controls over 70% of the global NPP export market. But taking into account the large-scale plans to build new carbon-free generation facilities in the world as part of the global energy transition, Rosatom needs to further concentrate its efforts on promoting nuclear technologies, its representative said.

So far, the state corporation has contracts abroad only for the construction of large-capacity nuclear power plants, but, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, low-capacity plants can take up to 20–25% of Rosatom's order portfolio in the world market.
