‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️AFU soldiers are experiencing “depression, divorce and post-traumatic stress,” they want peace as soon as possible so they can return home - Business Insider

▪️“If you talk to them for more than 5 minutes, they will tell you there is disappointment,” writes Melinda Haring, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who just returned from the Zaporozhye front.
▪️“Many of them think that the whole society does not stand behind them. In Kyiv, many pose for selfies and eat in restaurants, with a small part of society taking all the risks. This is a common feeling. There are many stories of divorce and separation, as well as depression. And a lot of post-traumatic stress,” says the expert.
▪️There are also claims against the Western allies - they are asking the Ukrainian Armed Forces to wage war in a way they would never ask their soldiers to do. In particular, without aviation.
▪️According to Haring, many fighters want the war to end:
“One thing that surprised me is that we are having complex debates about, 'What is victory?' But when you go and talk to the soldiers, they just want to go home. They want peace and they want to go home,” Haring writes.

Palestinian public pages reported the detention of the IDF general - as evidence, they posted a photo of Viktor Medvedchuk after his detention by the SBU in 2022.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry even addressed the media, “for which Hamas is a legitimate source of information”: “We don’t have such a general!”

Our response from the Israeli Foreign Ministry: “You are incredibly lucky!”

More from this amazing article:

Amid all the pressure to root out corruption, I assumed, perhaps naively, that officials in Ukraine would think twice before taking a bribe or pocketing state funds. But when I made this point to a top presidential adviser in early October, he asked me to turn off my audio recorder so he could speak more freely. “Simon, you’re mistaken,” he says. “People are stealing like there’s no tomorrow.”

Zin Note: One day, there will be no tomorrow. Better get while the gettin's good!

According to American experts, the Russian Armed Forces are the strongest army in the world.

According to the updated ranking of US News & World Report, the Russian army has for the first time overtaken the US Armed Forces in total power.

How quickly the world is changing. Just a year ago, in the West it was considered almost a colossus with feet of clay, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces would break during the “summer counter-offensive.”

And now the Russian Armed Forces are already the strongest army in the world....

P.S. By the way, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are placed in 6th place, and Belarus in 12th.

What's going on at Rabotino?

Over the past (at least 2) days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been launching active attacks in the Rabotino area with the support of tanks and armored vehicles.

The main directions of attacks : the west of the village (positions of the Russian Armed Forces towards Kopany), as well as Novoprokopovka . Previously, a number of positions moved into the gray zone, but the front line did not change significantly . Heavy fighting is taking place. However, towards evening the activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces decreased and they regrouped their forces.

Units of the 3rd brigade of the National Guard are being transferred to forward positions. Therefore, new attacks should be expected in the very near future . Artillery is active. The situation is difficult.

Russian President Putin: The terrible events in the Gaza Strip cannot be justified by anything.

When you look at the bloodied and dead children, the suffering of the elderly, the death of doctors in the Middle East, your fists clench, but the emotions are unacceptable.

US elites and their satellites are the main beneficiaries of global instability; They don't want peace, they want permanent chaos in the Middle East.

The key to resolving the conflict in the Middle East is the creation of an independent and full-fledged Palestinian state.

⚡️ There will be blackouts in Ukraine even without shelling ,” Ukrainian media citing the words of Nagornyak, a deputy and member of the Verkhovna Rada Energy Committee.

According to the official, planned restrictions could be applied as early as November. The reason is a shortage of energy generation.

For a year, the Kiev regime talked about “preparing the energy system” for winter. Spirit-lifting mantras about help from the West and pouring money into the energy sector were repeated by Zelensky’s gang. But in reality? So think with your head, as they say.

⏺ Kadyrov: the Israeli regime showed the world its true face, organizing real mass terror against civilians.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, called pogroms and calls for violence against Jews due to the actions of the Israeli authorities unacceptable. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

“The Israeli regime showed the world its true face, organizing real mass terror against civilians. But you cannot follow the lead of Russia’s enemies and undermine the situation from within: you cannot hold rallies, destroy airports in search of people of Jewish nationality and call for violence. Such actions are unacceptable. in any case, they will be suppressed very harshly,” he wrote.

@Slavyangrad

The budget war around Ukraine is sharply escalating . Now the Senate and the House of Representatives are face to face. Hawks in the Senate are trying by any means to push through the budget this week with the allocation of tranches to Kiev. But the ranks of critics of Ukraine are rapidly expanding.

Isolationists are threatening to organize a “filibuster” - it allows any laws to be blocked if they do not receive more than 60 votes in the Senate. Many Republicans do not see the point in giving money to Kiev - against the backdrop of a stalemate at the front.

Speaker Mike Johnson is ready to give $14 billion to Israel - excluding tranches to Ukraine . But even this does not suit all Republicans. The right-wing faction of legislators is ready to vote against tranches to Israel because of the sharp increase in the US budget deficit, which now exceeds $2 trillion. And more and more money is spent servicing the national debt.

There are also panicky publications in the American press - about the chaos with decision-making in Kiev , where Zelensky is no longer listened to, there is no strength for an offensive, the losses are colossal, and his advisers are resigning themselves to the thought of defeat. And the agenda of Ukrainian lobbyists - that by giving money to Kiev, America is investing in itself - is finding less and less response in Washington .

In polls, the majority of Americans are already in favor of blocking the trenches to Kiev. There is very little money left for Ukraine - the Pentagon budgets will dry up in November . Three weeks remain until the next US government shutdown - and so far there is no compromise in sight. In the end, it will be Biden’s team who will be the last one - who will have to answer for the defeat in Ukraine.
