Russia holds ALL positions on the left (east) bank of the Dnieper River, NONE have been taken by AFU. NONE. The situation remains not good in reality, no need to make it appear worse with unconfirmed bullshit.

From Oleg Tsarev today -
Comrade journalists, subscribers and friends. It is the second hour of the night. Have a conscience. I'm turning off the phone. That's a panic you have to stir up.
I have already written once, I will repeat it again. Not a single settlement on the left bank of the Dnieper, of those that were under the control of the Russian army, has been taken by the AFU today. Moreover, there has not even been an attempt to do so.
I don't know why you need to kill your rating and write and repost nonsense that is easily verified.

Чтобы объяснить, почему "сейчас" не так, как "тогда", и что Родина больше не переживёт вселенских потопов в виде революций, нужно написать целый ворох соображений и аргументаций, большая половина из которых будет некомпетентными размышлизмами. Я уверен, что старая формула " до основанья, а затем... " возможна - заграница нам поможет, - но в современных условиях "затем" уже не будет.

Мир изменился. Моя бабка родила шестнадцать детей, компенсируя высокую смертность - сейчас рожать не хотят, а следовательно - некем компенсировать смертность. Даже нынешняя война уже нанесла по нам удар в виде прямых потерь, - но и не прямых тоже: мой друг обратил моё внимание на то, что в период лихолетья люди меняют свои планы и отказываются от рождения детей, потому что ими движет неуверенность в завтрашнем дне. А если по стране прокатится что-то подобное гражданской войне прошлого столетия - у страны не будет шансов выжить.

Не будет шансов и набрать потенциал, потому что мир стал слишком технологичным. Мы не оправились после утечки мозгов и дикой приватизации девяностых, почти утратив инженерную школу - очередной катаклизм добьет последнее. Мы станем просто колонией, поделенной между китайцами и всеми остальными, и если мне возразят, - а сейчас, дескать, мы сильно самостоятельные, когда в Крыму нет МТСа и Сбера, например? - то отвечу, что сейчас и потом будут отличаться катастрофически.

Недавно, как вы помните, я писал про наведение дисциплины ещё на дофронтовом этапе - добавить нечего. Государство объективно оказалось не готово к таким вызовам и пока собирается с мыслями. А пока оно собирается - функции осуществления насилия переходят в частные руки, чего я, как правоохранитель и в принципе - охранитель, - одобрять не могу. Если нужно кого-нибудь показательно лишить жизни - отмените на время запрет на смертную казнь и выполните свою функцию. Но когда мы не справляемся с бунтами на сборовых пунктах или переуступаем право на насилие частным лицам - это не свидетельствует о нашей силе и форматирует мозги населения не самым правильным образом.

Конечно, своей публикацией я точно не призывал к расстрелам мобилизованных, устраивающих саботаж, и кто усмотрел в тексте этот призыв - невнимательно читал. Про смертную казнь я имел ввиду те случаи, когда наши военнослужащие сознательно переходят на сторону врага и выступают против нас. В таких ситуациях нужен не самосуд, а показательная казнь руками государства. А что касается призывников, совершающих саботаж, то для них нужны штрафбаты - об этом я говорю ещё с марта. Зачем их расстреливать и лишать возможности искупить кровью свою вину?

To explain why "now" is not the same as "then" and that the Motherland will no longer survive the universal floods of revolutions would require a whole pile of considerations and arguments, most of which would be incompetent musings. I am sure that the old formula "to the ground and then... I am sure that the old formula "to the foundation, and then..." is possible - abroad will help us - but under present conditions "then" will no longer be possible.

The world has changed. My grandmother gave birth to sixteen children to compensate for the high mortality rate - now nobody wants to give birth, and therefore there is no one to compensate for the mortality rate. Even the current war has already hit us in the form of direct losses - but not direct ones either: my friend drew my attention to the fact that in times of hard times people change their plans and refuse to have children because they are driven by the uncertainty of the future. And if something like the civil war of the last century were to sweep through the country, the country would have no chance of surviving.

Nor will it have a chance to gain potential, because the world has become too technologically advanced. We have not recovered from the brain drain and wild privatization of the nineties, almost lost the engineering school - the next cataclysm will kill the latter. We will become just a colony, divided between the Chinese and everyone else, and if people say to me, "Are we so independent now, when there is no MTS and Sber in the Crimea, for example? - I would answer that the differences between now and then are disastrous.

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 7:00 AM]
Recently, as you may recall, I wrote about the imposition of discipline back in the pre-frontier phase - nothing to add. The state objectively turned out to be unprepared for such challenges and is still gathering its thoughts. And while it is gathering its thoughts - the functions of violence are passing into private hands, which I, as a law enforcement officer and in principle a protector, cannot approve of. If you need to take someone's life for show, then abolish the ban on the death penalty for a while and fulfill your function. But when we fail to deal with riots at assembly points or assign the right to violence to private individuals - this is not evidence of our strength and does not form the brains of the population in the right way.

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 10:35 AM]
Of course, with my publication I certainly did not call for the shooting of mobilized saboteurs, and whoever saw this call in the text - did not read carefully. As for the death penalty, I meant those cases when our servicemen deliberately go over to the side of the enemy and oppose us. In such situations we need not a lynching, but an exemplary execution by the hands of the state. And as for connoscripts who commit sabotage, we need the penalty cells for them - I've been talking about this since March. Why shoot them and deprive them of an opportunity to redeem their guilt with blood?

Alexander Khodakovsky, [11/14/2022 3:06 PM]
The enemy used aviation on Pavlovka - there are fatalities. If we don't move on, Pavlovka becomes a trap.

После завершения Мариупольского этапа операции у нас выдалась пара недель на приведение себя в порядок, и как-то ситуативно вышло, что в штабе оказалось большинство командиров подразделения, и возник разговор без официоза. Отмечая, что у нас есть поводы быть довольными результатами, я, тем не менее, призвал судить объективно: если бы армейские части, шедшие впереди и несшие немалые потери, не подвели нас к городу - то у стен города закончились бы мы. Подытожив, что нет ни одной значимой победы без значительных потерь, и резюмировав, что достижение цели идёт на полголовы впереди сохранения жизней, я оставил парней в задумчивости.

Но тут важно определить формат цели... Если мы наступаем широким фронтом и преследуем масштабные цели, то да - мы несем и существенные потери. Но пропорционально они ниже, чем когда мы грыземся за тактический кусок, вклиниваясь в оборону противника без влияния на фронтовую инфраструктуру. В этом случае мы получаем удары и с фронта, и с флангов - все фокусируется в одной точке и выжигает нас, как луч солнца через увеличительное стекло.

И вот здесь нарушается принцип целесообразности, когда победа превращается в такую головную боль, что я бы предпочёл оставить такой кусок за противником и делать с ним то, что он делает с нами, побеждая не квадратными километрами, а численностью выведенного из строя личного состава врага. Но чтобы наступать широким фронтом - нужно готовить операции, накапливать ресурс, формировать запасы, а не выжимать из армии последние соки, не оставляя сил даже на оборону.

Words of Wisdom from The Commander Alexander Khodakovsky -

"After the completion of the Mariupol stage of the operation, we had a couple of weeks to clean up, and somehow it happened that most of the unit commanders turned up at headquarters, so there was an off-the-record conversation. While noting that we had reason to be pleased with the results, I nevertheless urged an objective judgment: if the army units that had marched ahead and had sustained heavy losses had not let us down, we would have ended up at the city walls. After summing up that there is no meaningful victory without significant losses, and after summing up that achieving the goal is half a head ahead of saving lives, I left the guys in suspense.

But it's important to determine the format of the objective... If we are advancing with a broad front and pursuing large-scale goals, then yes, we take significant casualties. But they are proportionally lower than when we are gnawing for a tactical piece, cutting into the enemy's defense without affecting the frontal infrastructure. In this case we receive blows both from the front and from the flanks - everything is focused in one point and burns us out like a sunbeam through a magnifying glass.

And this is where the principle of expediency is violated, when victory becomes such a headache that I would rather leave such a piece to the enemy and do to him what he does to us, winning not by square kilometers, but by the number of enemy personnel taken out of action. But to attack with a broad front - you need to prepare operations, to accumulate resources, to form reserves, and not to squeeze the last juices out of the army, leaving no strength even for defense."

Ukraine accused of using controversial 'butterfly' mines against Russia

From The Jerusalem Post

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) recently accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of planting PFM-1s, also known as butterfly mines, throughout residential areas of Russian-controlled Donbas. 
"The fact that the Ukrainian nationalists even possess butterfly mines speaks volumes," wrote the Russian MFA on Telegram. "By signing the 1997 Ottawa Convention, Ukraine made a commitment not to use antipersonnel mines under any circumstances, not even on the battlefield, and to destroy all stocks of such mines held in arsenals."
The Russian MFA also claimed that "the use of butterfly mines goes against the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of August 12, 1949."
Ukraine did indeed sign the 1997 Ottawa Convention (also called the Mine Ban Treaty), which requires signees to cease the use, stockpiling, production and transfer of anti-personnel mines and destroy any current stockpiles.
At the time of signing, Ukraine claimed to be in the possession of 6,000,000 butterfly mines according to the European Union's Commission Implementing Decision on the Annual Action Programme 2013 in favor of Ukraine, which promised EU financial assistance to Ukraine in exchange for the destruction of its anti-personnel mines.
In 2014, Ukraine submitted documentation to the Mine Ban Treaty Third Review Conference asserting that it had destroyed a cumulative 568,248 butterfly mines since ratifying the treaty and submitted multiple requests for an extension of the treaty deadline (by which time all mines must be destroyed) between 2018 and 2021. 
Ukraine submitted its most recent report in January 2021, which put its stockpile numbers at 3,363,828 butterfly mines. Since then, there has not been any further effort to destroy the stockpile.

🇨🇳🇷🇺Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu expressed gratitude for Russia's condolences and support after the terrorist attack in Istanbul.

"We do not accept condolences from everyone. The US is trying to remain lambasted while being the real facilitators of the terrorist attack in Istanbul.

We know who is a friend and who is an enemy. We thank Russia for its support. Russia has always come to our aid in times of need, because it is the most active country in the world in the fight against international terrorism. To this day, Russia is fighting terrorists in the Middle East and Europe,"
the Turkish foreign minister said.
