The United States threatens the Russian leadership through closed channels with a shutdown of the Internet and a cyber attack on critical infrastructure. In fact, everything is really not very good and the United States is really capable of completely blocking the operation of the Internet in Russia (disconnecting Russian providers from supporting domain name protocols). But there is no ford in the fire, just as there is no way back, except for victory over a terrible enemy. Russia, in turn, can and should, in response, destroy the physical infrastructure of the Internet (it is necessary to kill only 6 cables and the entire Western economy will plunge into chaos).

◾What does the new Italian Premier Meloni thinks about MACRON and France?

◾Things are going to get very heated in the EU this winter, politically talking of course.

Do you remember how Ursula Von Der Leyen recently told with a sweet smile that the Russian economy is torn to shreds and that there are no chips in Russia and they are being picked out of washing machines and dishwashers for military equipment?

In fact, Ursula was not so wrong. She just made a little mistake with the country and with the electrical appliances from which these chips are torn out.

The Defense News publication reports that the American company L3Harris Technologies, working for the military department, faced a very acute shortage of chips. The problem was valve matrices, far from the most high-tech and complex example of microchips. Meanwhile, the company produces one of the types of weapons for the newest American fighter F-35.

Microchips were in short supply due to a decrease in the total volume of their production, which is noticeable in all industries and in particular in the automotive industry. First Covid-19, then sanctions against Russia and retaliatory measures that led to a shortage of raw materials.

The production of microchips in the world has fallen very much, especially since there are not many manufacturers of this group of products and most of the chips are produced in small Taiwan. And what problems Taiwan has with China — you all know perfectly well.

And L3Harris Technologies has found a way out — microchips from old radios of its own production. Only now they have to be bought from one of the customers and then literally solder the chips for their reuse.
And most likely — this example is not an isolated one. Who knows — maybe other arms companies are now buying up microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers to pick out chips from them and put them on all kinds of smart missiles and bombs?

Moreover, there are a lot of relatively simple microchips in all electronic devices, and for sure something from washing machines and dishwashers can be used in military equipment.

So don't judge Ursula Von Der Leyen harshly — she almost didn't lie. Well... maybe just a little. 😉

The words change, the essence remains

German Foreign Minister Baerbock said that the participants of the referendums "are shot, raped, and then they have to put crosses for three days while a soldier with a Kalashnikov assault rifle in his hands standing next to them ".

The representative of Germany has descended to too obvious fakes and manipulations. Apparently, there is nothing more to block the success and consistency of the election. Such statements only show the arrogant attitude of Western leaders towards citizens of their own countries, whom they treat as fools.

As you know, accredited international observers watched the course of the referendums. They confirmed that the voting proceeded without violations. People freely exercise their will, as the true rules of true democracy demand. The whole process was organized well and seriously.

At the same time, the democratic West continues to behave undemocratically. For example, they plan sanctions for many independent journalists and observers on their return home. Moreover, the entire system of international relations and organizations designed to assess interstate conflicts objectively is being discredited. An example of this is the obvious activity of voting in referendums, which threatens to become a new cause of hysterical attacks at a meeting of the UN Security Council. Only now the opponents of the vote are arguing not with its results, but with the legal grounds for holding it.

In any case, while the West is arguing and inventing new ideas for propaganda, Russia is doing its duty. People have been waiting eight years for this, and today they have a chance to return to a normal, peaceful life.

🇩🇪Inflation in Germany jumps to 10% in September — the highest annual increase in the history of the index since World War II

🇩🇪 An observer from Germany about the voting procedure in the DPR

TV writer, journalist Patrick Waab came to Donbass to write a book about the conflict in Ukraine. The day before, the man visited the LPR, and today he is in the south of the DPR.

Patrick says that the referendum procedure is correct, but there are certain disadvantages. In particular, he noted that the principle of secrecy is not respected during the mobile voting.

But residents of the DPR claim that they are confident in their choice, so they openly vote for unification with Russia.

The observer from Germany stressed that citizens vote willingly, there was no pressure from the authorities.

"I think, voters are not under the pressure. All the voters I tolked to hope to come back to Russia," said Patrick Waab.

Residents of the DPR are sure that the referendum could be held in accordance with the procedure at the polling stations, but Ukraine does not allow this by shelling peaceful cities.

The German observer of the referendum in the DPR will be fired from his job in Germany.

According to Bild, the managing director of the energy company Stefan Schaller will lose his position tomorrow.

The chairman of the company's management board has already stated that he was shocked that his employee became an observer in the DPR.

Earlier, German Chancellor Scholz said that Berlin does not recognize the results of referendums on the entry of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into the Russian Federation.

The situation on the Limansky direction
by the end of September 29, 2022

Ukrainian formations continue to surround Liman, developing an offensive towards the territorial borders of the Luhansk People's Republic. The Liman garrison, with superior enemy forces, is fighting in an operational encirclement.

▪️On the outskirts of Liman

➖The enemy tried to attack the city from three directions: from the side of Dibrov, the Brusino railway station and the Old Caravan. The garrison is holding out, all attacks are repulsed.

➖The Armed Forces of Ukraine are intensively shelling the Liman with all available means of destruction, including the HIMARS MLRS.

▪️North of Liman

➖Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupied Kolodezi, Zelenaya Dolina and cut the road Svatovo - Makeevka - Terny - Liman.

➖From the side of the village of Kolodezi, a platoon of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of armored vehicles, conducted reconnaissance in combat in the direction of Zarechny (Kirovsk). After a fire defeat by the artillery of the People's Militia of the LPR, the Ukrainian formations were forced to retreat.

➖Through Zarechnoye - Torskoye passes the last road connecting the Liman garrison with the territory controlled by the allied forces. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are attacking villages from the north from the side of the village of Kolodezi and from the south - from the bridgehead on the banks of the Seversky Donets.

▪️West of Liman

➖UAF occupied Shandrigolovo and Novoselka. The western flank of the Liman defense in Drobyshevo is held by 🔻 BARS-13 fighters and 20 combined arms army of the RF Armed Forces.

🔻 At this stage, without the transfer of significant reinforcements and the concentration of attention of the command of the RF Armed Forces in the Liman direction, there is a serious risk of the fall of Liman and further collapse of the defensive orders of the RF Armed Forces on the western borders of the Luhansk People's Republic.

Putin called on Ukraine to immediately stop hostilities
30.09.2022 - 15:33

"People living in the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions become our citizens forever."

This was just announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We call on the Kyiv regime to immediately cease fire, all hostilities and return to the negotiating table. We are ready for this,” the Russian leader said.

“At the same time, Russia will not discuss the choice of people in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson. It's done," the president said.

Putin once again reminded that Russia is ready to use all forces and means to protect its territories.

"Just don't give us to Ukraine":
What's going on in the Red Liman
Translated from Viktor Zvantsev

Artillery strikes, mortar attacks and fierce shooting on the outskirts - Ukrainian troops are stubbornly trying to occupy Krasny Liman, in the north of the DPR. The city is defended by the forces of the republican armies and the Russian infantry. Tanks and armoured personnel carriers drive along the deserted streets, a few civilians who did not have time to evacuate, beg the soldiers not to leave them alone with the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Right Sector. About what is happening on this sector of the front - in the report of RIA Novosti.

Wave after wave
Automatic and machine-gun fire can be heard from early morning. It subsides only by noon, when the enemy "strictly on schedule" leaves for lunch. After a couple of hours, the fighting resumes with a vengeance. Mines are constantly whistling in the air, with which they throw not only the city, but also the adjacent roads. There are more and more funnels on the sides.

"They climb into Krasny Liman almost without artillery support," says a fighter with the call sign Kuzya.

According to the fighters, they are advancing from the direction of Slavyansk, where one of the largest groupings of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is concentrated. There are many mercenaries in their ranks: electronic intelligence specialists intercept communications in Polish and English, soldiers find the corpses of blacks.

The main forces of the Ukrainian troops were concentrated in the private properties near the western part of the Krasny Liman - in the area of the Blue Lakes. The other day they occupied a small forest belt, but did not advance further: the republican army met with heavy fire. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated to their previous positions and now every two hours they are making new attempts to break through.

“We were able to get out of the Blue Lakes only on the fourth day,” says local resident Konstantin. “We came with my wife and children to visit our parents and got stuck. The fire is very dense there. The fragments riddled the walls of the house, the roof. Those who did not have time to escape are sitting in the basements. The situation is extremely difficult, but we do not plan to leave the city yet. We hope that Ukrainians will not be allowed here."

"We'll just be shot"
This hope lives the majority of people who, for one reason or another, remained in Krasny Liman. Some have bedridden parents, others have a large subsidiary farm: chickens, geese, cows. On the street once again try not to go out. Only for humanitarian aid or for work.
“Despite the constant shelling, the railway hospital continues to operate,” says nurse Oksana. “Every day we go back and forth. In the morning I get on my bike and think: will I return or not.”

When the front line approached the city, one of the first to leave it were officials of the local administration, the fighters specify. Now they visit here a couple of times a week - and then not for long. For all questions, people turn to the military commandant's office.
These are mostly pensioners and railway workers: Krasny Liman is a large junction station. Although trains have not been running for a long time, part of the carriage depot, like the departmental hospital, is still working.

Employees complain that the salary is delayed for the second month. However, almost all shops are closed. People survive on their own supplies and humanitarian aid, which is collected by various volunteer funds. However, delivery is also a problem.

“Since the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly and quite skilfully use UAVs, point artillery, heavy trucks do not enter Krasny Liman yet,” explains Pavel Fomenko, war correspondent of the People’s Militia of the DPR. “The trucks stop in a safe place, where our guys throw boxes into cars and drive on. make several flights, but even those who are unable to come to the point of issue receive assistance.

Continuation from here ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Going for humanitarian aid is extremely dangerous: the Armed Forces of Ukraine are purposefully trying to hit crowded places. The other day, for example, one of the last open stores was fired upon. Several civilians were killed. They also destroyed the newly restored power grids.
The locals are very worried about the prospect of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. No one wants to speak openly in front of the camera - they are afraid of cruel reprisals. People used to be cautious, and after the recent events in the Kharkiv region, they completely "lay low."
“Only three families are left on our street,” says Natalia, a former cleaner at the railway station. “We beg the soldiers for only one thing: not to let Ukrainians in. There are rumours that in the village nearby, the National Battalions shot civilians.”

It became especially alarming when the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupied Izyum and came close to the borders of the LPR and DPR.
“We are very afraid that we will get to Ukraine and the purges will begin,” sobs the former switchman of the railway station Irina (at her request, the name was changed). If so, what did you vote for. I personally support joining Russia, but suddenly the Armed Forces of Ukraine find out about it."

Red and black flag (flag of the Right Sector Neo-Nazis formation)
The residents of Krasny Liman, like many in Donbass, made their choice back in the 2014 referendum. Then the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the "Right Sector" entered the city almost immediately. The militias tried to resist, but the forces were unequal.

“Ukrainian military hit the hospital eight times with artillery, where wounded volunteers were lying,” recalls a local resident Sergei. “Many civilians died with them then. Then bombs were dropped from planes directly on the militia camp near Brusin station.
Sergei at that time studied psychology in absentia at the Pedagogical University in Slavyansk and remained neutral until armed militants of the Right Sector burst into his house, ordering him to follow them.
“I also asked for a warrant, and they only smirked in response,” he continues. “They said that my name was on some lists. There was a continuous obscenity in the police department, where many referendum participants had already been interrogated. Someone was beaten. As it turned out, they found the contacts of the guys from the resistance in my phone: I studied with some of them, worked with some. They kept me for a day, then they released me. Those who were considered traitors were probably shot. I was very lucky then."

Right after the coup, 28-year-old Andrei Brichenko headed the combat cell of the "Right Sector" in Krasny Liman immediately after the coup. According to neighbours, he never needed money and joined the nationalist organization out of ideological considerations.
“I used to work in advertising and business, I owned three cafes,” says a resident of Gutchenko Street, where the former house of the “chief right-winger” is located, on the rights of anonymity. “Immediately after the Maidan, Brichenko hung a red and black flag here. His “colleagues” were based in neighbouring houses. They took what they wanted from people. For example, the "wrung out" concrete slabs are still lying near the gate."
On the eve of the special operation, Brichenko sold his house, took his mother and left for Ukraine. His return here is feared like fire.

According to the People's Militia of the DPR, the situation in Krasny Liman is still under control. The Ukrainian Armed Forces, meanwhile, are gathering new units and are probably aiming for the final assault.
The Republican and Russian armies, in turn, are preparing for a fierce defence and waiting for reserves. The fighters are sure that the fate of the city will be decided in the coming days.

Ukrainian Army fired at a column of cars standing at the exit to the liberated part of Zaporozhye

The armed forces of Ukraine struck a column of cars with people standing at the exit to the liberated part of the Zaporozhye region. As a result, there are casualties and injured, Vladimir Rogov, head of the We Are Together with Russia movement, said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

"Ukrainian militants carried out another terrorist act. Seeing how the population was traveling en masse to the liberated part of the Zaporozhye region, they hit a convoy with dozens of civilian cars queuing in the market area on the Orekhovskaya highway to leave the part of the region under their control," he said.

According to Rogov, there are victims and many injured. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities, he stressed, are trying to pass off what happened as shelling by the Russian Armed Forces. To do this, the Kyiv regime intimidates the population in the part under its control and tries to prevent people from leaving for the liberated part of the Zaporozhye region, which will become part of the Russian Federation.

"The Nazis are taking revenge on people who held a mass rally a few days ago demanding that they be given the opportunity to leave for the liberated territory," Rogov added.

The West found the culprit in the explosions at the Nord Stream
Translated from Victoria Nikiforova and RIA Novosti

While the world community was in a stupor after the accidents at Nord Stream 2, a peppy tweet from Radek - sorry, Radoslav - Sikorsky cut through the silence. "Thank you USA!" – wrote the ex-minister of defence and ex-minister of foreign affairs of Poland. He also tweeted a February video showing Joe Biden promising to "end Nord Stream 2 if Russia invades Ukraine."
It would seem that it was impossible to take it seriously. Poland, as you know, is a sick person in Europe. From there, and not such exotic statements rush. However, Sikorsky is not just a retired politician. He is one of Washington's favourite pets. For thirty years now, his American wife, a prominent US Democratic propaganda worker, Ann Applebaum, has been looking after him. Who, if not him, knows what the American president puts into his enigmatic speeches.

Moreover, Biden was by no means alone in declaring the need to "do away" with Nord Stream 2. Our old friend, curator and chef of the Kyiv Maidan, Victoria Nuland, spoke about the same and practically the same words in January: “I will be frank with you today: if Russia invades Ukraine in one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not work will be".
I just want to ask Sikorsky, following Maria Zakharova: "Is this an official statement about a terrorist attack?" Moreover, the answer to the classic question "Who benefits?" here is clear. First, undermining Nord Stream 2 is beneficial to the United States, because it makes Europe completely dependent on American liquefied gas. By controlling the price of it, the States will turn the Europeans from their vassals into mere slaves.
And secondly, it is beneficial to Poland, which the very next day after the sabotage at the Nord Stream opened the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline and thus became the main gas supplier from Norway, pushing Germany out of the valve. Of course, the capacity of the Baltic Pipe cannot be compared with the Nord Stream, but the Poles will have enough for themselves, and they will be able to resell the surplus - at least to Germany.

Washington has long tried to make the Poles its "watchers" in Europe. Now, exactly on the eve of the winter cold, they received a gas valve. They will spin it on command from across the ocean.
The Americans themselves quickly guessed about this simple connection. “Blowing up the pipeline will not help Vladimir Putin in any way. And he wouldn’t do it - he doesn’t need to,” says Tucker Carlson, Fox News host. Indeed, Germany and Russia, the creators of the pipeline, are the main victims of this sabotage. Russia is losing the opportunity to earn in Europe. Germany is losing its capital, assets, standard of living - in general, everything. But then who carried out the sabotage at Nord Stream?
“Is the Biden administration really behind this?” Tucker Carlson asks timidly. “<…> Those who keep telling you about the dangers of driving SUVs could undermine the gas pipeline and cause the greatest environmental disaster of our time. If everything is so, this will be one of the most insane and destructive acts of the American administration."

It is hard for an American journalist to believe that an environmentally concerned regime in Washington could blow up a gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea. Well, how is it? Biden is fighting with all his might against farting cows, spending millions from the treasury on this, and here so much gas is pouring into the Baltic Sea, as poor cows cannot produce in a millennium.

Continuation ⬆️⬆️⬆️
However, environmental rhetoric has always been used by Americans solely to increase their profits. It did not stop them from ignoring the monstrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, organized by British Petroleum. It didn't even occur to them to ban oil production there in general, they only expand it.
All their howls about warming were intended purely for export - to slow down the industrial development of other countries. And on their territory, the Americans freely extracted and are producing shale gas by hydraulic fracturing - this is a catastrophic approach in terms of its consequences for the environment. Moreover, they do not care about the ecological situation somewhere far away, in the Baltic Sea, where only seagulls, Estonians, cod, Danes and other species of living creatures live.
Tucker Carlson did not mention that on the eve of the Nord Stream accident, US warships were located in that area of the Baltic, near the Danish island of Bornholm. The squadron was led by the US Navy landing ship Kearsarge. The helicopter with Kearsarge patrolled for hours over the water area in the Nord Streams area. American ships left the site of the gas pipeline explosion only a few hours before the explosions. Such a complex undermining could only be carried out with the help of underwater drones. The Americans have a lot of them, they are rightly proud of their quality. From all these individual facts some quite unpleasant picture emerges.

The American establishment mutters languidly about some abstract "sabotage". Anthony Blinken, US State Secretary, noted that this sabotage "clearly does not serve anyone's interests." So why isn't he answering to his own question? It fits Washington's strategic goals in the best possible way.
U.S. intelligence throws in astonishingly absurd accusations: "Russians by nature love to play chess," John Jordan, a senior U.S. intelligence official, told Newsmax. — from medium to long term — Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 are useless for them. They don’t pump gas through them. They don’t sell it to Europe. <…> The Russians understand that they don’t need gas pipelines, but want to send us a warning, and do it in their typical - secretive - military manner."
This is obviously the version that will be fed to the European vassals, suddenly left not only without gas, but also without any hope. The Europeans are not allowed to judge this diversion on their own. They are still forced to carefully pretend that they do not understand anything.
“Mysterious leaks from gas pipelines…,” the German Spiegel writes in bewilderment. “Where did they come from? And why does Russia demand the convening of the UN Security Council because of them?”

Well, really. It's just mind-boggling. First, the US leadership declares that it will do away with Nord Stream. “He won’t be,” says Joe Biden, the country’s president, in plain text. Then an American squadron hangs out in the area of the gas pipeline. A few hours after she left, four explosions occur on the gas pipeline. "This is such a squiggle," the first president of Russia would say.
The leadership of the NATO countries is already starting to repeat after Washington all these crazy mantras like "they blew themselves up." The Washington Post, for example, quoted Danish Defence Minister Morten Bodskov. After discussing the gas pipeline explosions with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg, he muttered that "the security situation in the Baltic region is of concern. Russia maintains a significant military presence in the Baltic Sea and we expect it to continue to saber-rattling."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump is sharing on his social media the infamous February video in which Biden promises to end Nord Stream 2. "Wow, that's a statement. Who wants a third world war?" — signed this video the former President of the United States.

Continuation ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Similar thoughts oppress Tucker Carlson. “No one could have imagined that he (Joe Biden) was capable of blowing up a gas pipeline in the middle of the Baltic Sea,” Carlson exclaims. “That would be an unimaginably reckless act. You can do that if you want to start a nuclear war. Pure insanity.”
An American journalist is anxiously thinking about a possible "response". What to expect from Russia? What if she cuts the internet cables at the bottom of the Atlantic? Then the connection between the New York and London banks will be interrupted, the stock exchanges will collapse, "the collapse will come." What if Russia decides to influence American energy?
Indeed, a huge part of American energy depends precisely on Russian supplies - primarily enriched uranium. So far, this export has not been stopped, but there is such a possibility. And then what? Massive blackouts, infrastructure failure, chaos and destruction - this is what awaits the former hegemon on his own territory. The Americans will have to thank Joe Biden for this - a unique president who talks to the dead and shakes hands with the invisible.

"Ukraine is applying to join NATO in an expedited manner" - Zelensky following the meeting of the National Security and Defence Council.

According to the Ukrainian President, the country has de facto already passed its way to NATO, has already proved its compatibility with the standards of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Today at 19:00, the head of NATO and the UN Secretary General will soon make unprecedented statements.

They will concern Ukraine.
