⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation at the #Lyman Section at 15:00 on 1 Oct 2022⚡️

By mid-afternoon it was clear. The decision had been made to withdraw troops and abandon #Lyman.

After a video emerged from the eastern outskirts of #Zarechnoye with a blown-up bridge (49.021573, 37.952583) occupied by the AFU, it became clear that the entire "Road of Life" was already under AFU control.

Russian artillery continues to impact suitable AFU units, but while the focus has so far been on #Lyman, Ukrainian formations are now targeting the blockade of #Kremennaya and taking control of the reservoirs on the #Zherebets river.

It is likely that the active phase of the AFU offensive from #Kupyansk and #Redkodub to #Svatovo, through which the Russian Forces' supply routes pass, will resume shortly.

The loss of #Lyman is, first of all, a serious damage to the reputation of the Russian Federation. Because since yesterday, this is already the territory of Russia (even though the treaties have not yet been ratified - this is not so important).

There is discussion in pro-military circles that after ratification on 5 October, hostilities will begin in full force: a wide range of weapons and military equipment will be lifted into the air, all hell will break loose in western Ukraine, and then we will get on with life.

You know, if all this is there and has not been exploited within the SMO, why would anyone think that anything will change on 5 October?

Ramzan Kadyrov on Liman failure -

"I have always said: there is nothing better than the voiced truth, albeit bitter, offensive, but the truth. This is the only way to move forward. Therefore, I cannot remain silent about what happened in Krasny Liman.

The defense of this section was led by the commander of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Alexander Lapin. The same Lapin, who received the star of the Hero of Russia for the capture of Lisichansk, although de facto he was not there and was not around. Lapin was also given over to the troops of the Western Military District.

The colonel-general deployed mobilized fighters from the LPR and other units on all frontiers of the Liman direction, but did not provide them with the necessary communications, interaction and the supply of ammunition. Two weeks ago, Major General Commander of the Akhmat Special Forces, my dear BROTHER Apty Alaudinov, personally reported to me that our fighters could become an easy target. In turn, I informed Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, about the danger. But the general assured me that he had no doubts about Lapin's leadership talent and did not believe that a retreat was possible in Krasny Liman and its environs.

A week later, Lapin moves his headquarters to Starobelsk, a hundred kilometers from his subordinates, while he himself sits in Lugansk. How can you quickly manage units, being 150 km away from them? Due to the lack of elementary military logistics, today we have left several settlements and a large piece of territory.

It's not a shame that Lapin is mediocre. And the fact that he is covered at the top by the leaders in the General Staff. If I had my way, I would have demoted Lapin to the rank of private, would have deprived him of his awards and, with a machine gun in his hands, would have sent him to the front lines to wash away his shame with blood.

Army nepotism will not lead to good. In the army, it is necessary to appoint people of a strong character, courageous, principled, who worry about their fighters, who tear their teeth for their soldier, who know that a subordinate cannot be left without help and support. There is no place for nepotism in the army, especially in difficult times."

The investigation was conducted by "experts": the European version.

Germany, Denmark and Sweden will create an investigative group to investigate the sabotage on the Nord Stream.

This was told by German Interior Minister Nancy Heather.

First of all, we advise you to contact former Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski.

He seems to know something.

🇽🇰 The 'President' of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani (sic!) is outraged by the “seizure of territories based on fictitious referendums with the use of force.”

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova:

💬 I find the Western assertion that Russia has decided to redraw the map of Europe to be very entertaining.

It’s funny to hear this thesis from Germany, which has its current borders exclusively because they were redrawn in the late 1980s. Let me remind you the main political slogan of Chancellor Willy Brandt: Jetzt wächst zusammen, was zusammengehört (“Now what belongs together, is growing together”). In the 1980s, we understood the Germans’ aspirations and met them halfway. That was due to our goodwill, despite the fact that Nazism had destroyed half of our country and killed more than 25 million of our citizens. Berlin has no right to even mention the redrawing of borders: their own historical experience is horrifying to remember, though it must never be forgotten either.

It's funny to hear this thesis from Eastern European countries, many of which became sovereign states exclusively because borders were redrawn in the last few decades. While enjoying their newly gained privileges and having forgotten about morality and responsibility, these capitals didn’t wish to know how the people who sacrificed so much for Europe in the 20th century and were divided for it felt. They didn’t give a damn about it. But we do.

It's funny when this thesis is linked with the situation in Ukraine, which got its statehood for the first time in history because borders were redrawn. First in 1918, and then again 70 years later.

It’s funny to hear about the redrawing of borders from across the ocean, after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, after support for redrawing Serbia’s borders and the US affair with “Kosovo’s independence.”

☝️ They need to decide once and for all whether the redrawing of borders is good or bad. And if they say that it all depends on the context, it would be difficult to find a more suitable context than constant oppression of minorities because of their language and ethnicity which ended in eights year of terror.

It looks like Italy next, with Germany, that's the two biggest European economies...

LOOK - HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT LIMAN - COMING ON THE HEELS OF BUCHA AND KHARKOV RETREATS AND THE DISGRACEFUL PRISONER SWAP, IT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE RUSSIA IS LOSING. AND THAT IS A STRATEGIC FUCKUP. BECAUSE IF RUSSIA ONLY _LOOKS_ LIKE IT'S LOSING, THE US NAZIS CAN AND WILL DETONATE A TACTICAL NUKE ON UKROP SOIL AND BLAME IT ON RUSSIA, SAYING "THE RUSSIANS HAD TO USE NUKES BECAUSE THEY WERE LOSING." AND ALL THE IDIOTS IN THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE IT. THEN, US/NATO SAY "AND NOW WE HAVE TO RESPOND IN KIND (WITH NUKES) AND THEY VAPORIZE ALL 500,000 NEW RUSSIAN TROOPS BEFORE THEY EVEN GET DEPLOYED. AND OF COURSE, THE "RUSSIAN DECISION MAKING HQ IN UKRAINE" ALSO GETS NUKED - MY HOMETOWN, DONETSK.

THE TACTICAL NUKES ARE _ALREADY_ IN UKRAINE.

THE USA USING A NUKE FALSE FLAG IS ABSOLUTELY NOT JUST POSSIBLE BUT PROBABLE TO THE POINT OF INEVITABILITY. THEY HAVE THE MEANS, MOTIVE AND OPPORTUNITY, AND A LONG HISTORY OF FALSE FLAGS. IN FACT, IT WOULD BE STUPID TO THINK THEY WOULDN'T. AND IF RUSSIA LOOKS LIKE IT'S LOSING THE CONVENTIONAL WAR, IT MAKES THE USA FALSE FLAG MORE CREDIBLE AND MORE INEVITABLE.

AND THEN RUSSIA NUKES USA NAVY SHIPS IN THE BLACK SEA AND MED, THEN USA BASES IN GERMANY AND POLAND, THEN US/NATO HITS SEVASTOPOL, KALININGRAD AND ROSTOV. THEN RUSSIA HITS WASHINGTON AND USA HITS MOSCOW, AND IT'S ALL OVER BUT THE SCREAMING AND THE CRYING FOR ALL OF US.

AND THIS IS WHAT IS _GOING_ TO HAPPEN IF RUSSIA DOES NOT REGAIN THE MILITARY INITIATIVE AND START WINNING THE CONVENTIONAL WAR (IF IT STILL CAN) IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.

AS GOES DONBASS, SO GOES THE WORLD.AND ONLY AN IDIOT CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. AGAIN.

Given that it's abundantly clear that the US are happy to bomb a pipeline and blame Russia;

I'm inclined to believe that the US is perfectly capable and willing of acting how Russell Texas Bentley describes.

What I HOPE, is that Russia doesn't fumble this, and that they are aware of the pure EVIL they are up against.

British pension funds are struggling to meet margin requirements

Sharp spikes in financial markets responding to the government's September 23 "mini-budget" meant that parts of Britain's pension system were at risk, raising widespread concerns about the country's financial stability.

Standard & Poor's cut the outlook for its AA credit rating for British sovereign debt on Friday to "negative" from "stable," saying Truss's tax cut plans would cause debt to keep rising.

Ken Griffin, the billionaire founder of Citadel Securities, one of the world's largest market-making firms, is concerned. "This is the first time we've seen a major developed market lose investor confidence in a very long time," Griffin said at an investor conference in New York on Wednesday.
