Jackson Hinkle: Reality on the ground in new Russian territories ‘complete 180 turn from what we hear in mainstream press’
“I think Americans should know that what Ukraine is doing is [to] beg for more and more weapons and…beg for more and more taxpayer dollars. They’re using it all to terrorize Ukrainian civilians, some of whom I spoke to voted for Zelensky [in 2019, ed.], and then they get their house bombed by him,” US journalist and political commentator Jackson Hinkle told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, commenting on his impressions from his recent trip to Russia’s new territories.
In liberated areas, civilians who chose to stay came to be “seen as a legitimate target for Ukraine and for the United States. They will bomb you. And you know, the people are very upset by this, and they’re very happy that Russia’s there to protect them and to rebuild what needs to be rebuilt,” Hinkle said.
“I saw a lot of rebuilding going on, which was really impressive in Mariupol. When we drove into Mariupol, there was well over a thousand construction vehicles working late into the night…We got to see the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and how [Ukraine’s military is] shelling the power plant, which was scary to be very close to the front line and to know that they have all the nuclear waste and nuclear power stations there,” Hinkle recalled.
In another area, about 15 km from the front, Hinkle said he saw “home after home of these civilian apartment buildings that were being bombed by Ukraine with US missiles.”
In Melitopol, liberated Zaporozhye, Hinkle said he had a chance to talk to a lot of people. “Everyone was very happy that Russia’s there – so a complete 180 turn from what we hear in the mainstream press in the West about the situation.”

‘Demoralizing blow to Ukraine’: What legacy media are saying about Russia’s strike on Poltava military college
Russian missiles demolished a military academy in Poltava, central Ukraine on Tuesday. Russia’s Defense Ministry said Wednesday that the attack targeted the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ 179th Joint Training Center, engaged in the preparation of signalmen, electronic warfare specialists and drone operators, including troops taking part in strikes against civilian targets in Russia.
What are Western media saying about the attack?
▪️The narrative has gradually shifted over the past 24 hours, with the earliest reports simply regurgitating Ukrainian officials’ statements, including the claim that the attack targeted “an educational institution and a hospital” (no mention of the military academy) and quoting Zelensky, who used the occasion to demand more weapons from NATO, including long-range strike systems, and vowed to make Russia “pay.”
▪️ But the tone gradually changed, with some outlets at least starting to mention in headlines that the strike targeted a military institution.
▪️ In its piece, The New York Times called the attack “a demoralizing blow to Ukraine,” which came “as its troops have been retreating from relentless Russian advances along the war’s main front in the Donbas region.”
▪️ Britain’s The Times dubbed the attack “one of the worst airstrikes” since the start of the conflict in 2022, noting that the “educational facility” mentioned by Kiev was actually “the Poltava Military Institute of Communications,” and mentioning that “Ukraine’s land forces [had] confirmed that service personnel were killed during the strikes.”
▪️The BBC pointed to infighting arising in Ukraine’s leadership circles following the attack, quoting lawmaker Maria Bezuglaya, who slammed officials for “putting soldiers in danger” and allowing “these tragedies [to] keep repeating themselves.” The broadcaster went on to note the government reshuffle in Ukraine, including the resignation of the arms chief.
▪️The Associated Press mentioned that the military school was “off-limits to the media,” and confirmed that “the academy trains officers in communications and electronics, as well as drone operators, honing some of the most valued skills in a war where both sides are fighting for control of the electronic battlefield.”

‘Last thing they need to do is just put us in prison’: Jackson Hinkle on the ‘frightening’ clampdown on alternative media in the US
“Now I’m in Vladivostok. I’m safe for the time being. I’m happy about that. But it’s very frightening. We have no free speech. It’s simply people dissenting and saying that Russia is not our enemy, that we should struggle for peace rather than war. And for that, the FBI raids their home, takes their personal belongings," Hinkle said, adding that in Scott Ritter’s case, the feds took his passport, meaning “he can’t even leave the country.”
Hinkle blames the Biden regime specifically, saying the “biggest issue” the deep state is trying to crack down on is “people who are trying to stop World War Three.”
Hinkle also noted that while he was in the US, he couldn’t help “thinking every day” that he “was going to get a knock at the door from the FBI” to raid his home.

“It’s very frightening what they’re doing to Dimitri Simes and what they’re doing to Scott Ritter,” US journalist and political commentator Jackson Hinkle told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, commenting on the recent wave of raids by the FBI targeting alternative media personalities in the US.
“Now I’m in Vladivostok. I’m safe for the time being. I’m happy about that. But it’s very frightening. We have no free speech. It’s simply people dissenting and saying that Russia is not our enemy, that we should struggle for peace rather than war. And for that, the FBI raids their home, takes their personal belongings," Hinkle said, adding that in Scott Ritter’s case, the feds took his passport, meaning “he can’t even leave the country.”
“And it’s all happening…on a global scale for the West. Pavel Durov, Richard Medhurst getting arrested in the UK. There was another young fellow arrested in the UK. Danny Shaw –a professor from New York. He was interrogated by the FBI this week. They temporarily took his passport. The list goes on and on right now of everything that’s happened over the past six weeks, and they’re really trying to crack down before the elections,” Hinkle said.

Hinkle also noted that while he was in the US, he couldn’t help “thinking every day” that he “was going to get a knock at the door from the FBI” to raid his home.
“I mean they’ve already shown that I’m a target. They’ve already banned me and many others from all social media, virtually. And the last thing that they need to do is just put us in prison and then we’re completely silenced,” the commentator said, pointing out that the recent arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov in France shows that if they can do that to Durov, “they can do it to anyone.”

New BRICS blockchain payment system to be game-changer amid 'unstoppable' dedollarization - expert
Moscow’s decision to create a new BRICS blockchain-based payment system is a “game changing” development for the multipolar world, Christopher Douglas Emms, head of the Brokerage Division, LM Investments, told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
As part of BRICS’ efforts to ditch the weaponized US dollar in settlements, Emms speculated that one may see “a currency that is backed on a basket of different BRICS nation currencies, be that the Russian ruble, the Chinese renminbi, the Indian rupee, the South African rand.”
The BRICS payment system would be the final nail in the coffin of the “unstoppable” dedollarization trend, the expert added, as the US greenback “has nothing that backs it,” and “there's no commodity that underlies it.”

“I think it's a huge and significant development, because […] blockchain is an immutable payment. And what that means is it can't be messed with. It also removes any element really of corruption, because when you make that payment, it's totally transparent. And once it's made, no one can ever delete it. It has an online digital footprint that anyone can look up, which is totally transparent and also secure and fast,” the expert noted.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has said that Salome Zurabishvili is not the country’s legitimate president after violating the constitution.
The Georgian president's foreign visits, which were not coordinated with the government, previously led to a conflict between Zurabishvili and the ruling party. The Georgian Dream party filed a lawsuit against the president in the constitutional court, demanding impeachment. The court found her to have violated the law, but the impeachment could not be completed due to a lack of votes in parliament. Zurabishvili also filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court against a law on foreign agents, which was introduced by Georgian Dream and adopted by parliament.

⚛️ Following his visit to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that the risk of incidents persists as long as active hostilities continue. He also acknowledged some progress regarding the facility and emphasized that the situation is stabilizing.
During his visit, Grossi inspected the pumping station and fuel storage and assured that the agency would thoroughly analyze the findings from his trip. He further noted the importance of personally evaluating the circumstances after the August fire in the cooling tower.
Grossi also visited cooling tower No. 1, which was attacked by Ukrainian drones on August 11, the Ministry of Defense said.
The analysis conducted by the Russian side showed that the UAVs were equipped with an incendiary substance, which caused the fire.
The head of the IAEA and the agency's specialists confirmed that it's unlikely to find the source of the fire at the base of the cooling tower, the ministry said.

Journalists from Australia's ABC broadcaster illegally visit Russia's Kursk region
Journalists from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have illegally visited Russia's Kursk Region and published a report about the trip on Wednesday.
The journalists, accompanied by the Ukrainian military, crossed the Russian border without authorization and visited the town of Sudzha and nearby villages, the ABC's report said. They admitted that their trip had come with risks, not just from being in a combat zone, but also because they were unlikely to ever be able to set foot in Russia as individuals.
The authors of the report and photos taken on Russian territory are ABC correspondents Kathryn Diss and Fletcher Yeung.
This is not the first time that foreign journalists have accessed Russian territory illegally.
Last month, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that each case of illegal entry by Western journalists into the Kursk Region would be reviewed individually, and this applied to journalists from all countries.

The rollercoaster that the Telegram-linked cryptocurrency TON has been on since Pavel Durov’s arrest reflects how “robust” the platform itself is, Christopher Douglas Emms, head of the Brokerage Division, LM Investments, told Sputnik.
The pundit noted that Telegram is a “transparent and secure system,” and “people aren't spying on it,” with its CEO “willing to go to prison for that fact,” Emms noted. A week after Durov's detention, TON rebounded, zooming back to $4.61.
Telegram’s cryptocurrency wallet function will expand, and “the sky's the limit” for TON, he added.
