Putin: "There are not enough sanctions for the Anglo-Saxons, they have started the acts of subotage, organizing explosions on the international gas pipelines of the Nord Stream,. It is obvious to everyone who benefits from this. Who benefits from this is the one who did it."

BRUSSELS, September 30 - RIA Novosti. NATO will focus on helping Kyiv defend itself, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told journalists in Brussels, commenting on Volodymyr Zelensky's statement about preparing an application for accelerated entry into the bloc.
The Secretary General confirmed that each country has the right to determine its own path. He also recalled that NATO adheres to an "open door" policy, which has been demonstrated in recent years. At the same time, the decision on the membership of any state is made by all 30 allies unanimously, Stoltenberg noted.
As for Ukraine, the alliance is focused on helping Kyiv organize self-defense.
"Now this is the main task of the alliance," the NATO Secretary General stressed.

Basically, that means that Ukraine will never join NATO.

The situation on the Limansky direction
as of 20.00 September 30, 2022

After the withdrawal from Drobyshevo and Yampol, the defense of the RF Armed Forces was built along the outskirts of the Liman and the buffer zone around the Liman-Zarechnoye-Torskoye road. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to completely block the corridor, but the Russian troops have so far successfully repulsed the strikes.

According to preliminary estimates, at least 6,000 Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries are involved in the attack on Liman. Armored groups are trying to advance from Drobyshevo, Stavkov, Dibrovo and Yampol to Liman itself.

From the side of the Torsk Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, reinforcements were transferred, including artillery, MLRS and armored vehicles. Near Yampol and to the north of the Liman there are oncoming maneuver battles.

To the north of Zarechny, the Ukrainian military, with the support of armored vehicles, tried to enter Terny along the dam across the Zherebets River, but were driven out from there by the approaching units of the RF Armed Forces and retreated to the western bank in Ivanovka.

In order to strengthen the onslaught, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hastily transfer units from near Seversk and Soledar, reserves from Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. They have to partly expose the Soledar direction, where units of the Wagner PMC, NM LPR and DPR are advancing.

The situation remains extremely tense, but for now the RF Armed Forces still control Liman and hold back the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If the allied forces manage to hold back the onslaught, defend the city and inflict heavy losses on the attacking Ukrainian forces, then the Russian troops will actually seize the initiative. In this case, the situation at the front can change dramatically.

Putin:
"We have become stronger because we are together! The truth is behind us, and in truth there is strength, which means victory. Victory will be ours!"

"Donbass, Kherson, Zaporozhye, we are together, we are one country"

A patriotic flash mob with the participation of 3000 people marked the accession of the LPR, DPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson to Russia.

The situation with Liman is currently shrouded in the fog of war. According to some sources, there are battles and the garrison is holding out, according to others, that the garrison retreated. In addition, the enemy strikes at Yampolovka and Terny. At the moment, there is a battle going on in Terny. Let's hope for reserves that, as they say, are suitable. The hardest battle for Liman continues.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎞 Siege of Liman
Chronicle of battles to the end of September 30, 2022

By the end of September 30, the Armed Forces of Ukraine failed to complete the operation on the physical encirclement of Liman.

▪️After the withdrawal from Drobyshevo and Yampol, the defense of the RF Armed Forces is lined up along the outskirts of Liman and the buffer zone around the Liman-Zarechnoye-Torskoye road. Despite the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to physically block the corridor, the Russian troops repelled the blows.

The number of the advancing group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine totals at least six thousand people: armored groups are trying to advance from Drobyshevo, Stavko, Dibrovo and Yampol to Liman itself.

▪️At the same time, from the side of Kolodezey, a breakthrough was made to Terny along the dam through the reservoir: the armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to enter the settlement for a while, but then they were thrown back.

▪️In this sector of the front, the defense goes along the eastern shore of the reservoir, but given the bridgehead created by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ozernoye and the tactics of using small mobile groups, there is still a danger of the Armed Forces of Ukraine going to the rear.

▪️After the arrival of reinforcements, the RF Armed Forces launched a counteroffensive on Headquarters, trying to expand the zone of control north of the Liman. By the end of September 30, Russian troops recaptured the settlement.

🔻Despite the fact that at the moment there is a certain status quo in the Liman direction, the outcome of the battle for Liman is not yet clear. Not so many reinforcements have been deployed from the RF Armed Forces, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine retain a multiple superiority in manpower and equipment.

Also, translated from "Veteran's notes":
Our troops are attacking the enemy in the Stavki settlement near Liman.

More from the same source:
The wounded fighters who arrived from near the Liman, who are now in Valuyki, say that the Ukrainian Nazis advanced in lines near the Liman yesterday. "I was shocked [untranslatable strong language], a crowd came out of the forest, about 30 people, stretched out in a line and went at us, I started working on them with a machine gun and a grenade launcher from the AGS, everyone from our position started to shoot [strong language] on them, I saw how bullets hit people, they fall, but they continue to go like crazy. Then, when many of them fell, those who remained began to run away. I don’t know how many we killed, but many of them have fallen. An hour later, another crowd came out of the same wood under the cover of an infantry fighting vehicle, our mortar began to work on them and we also began to shoot at them [strong language]. They retreated again. Then there was an incoming shell at us and wounded me, I generally thought that they were stoned, because they were swiped away, but they were still walking. "

This story indirectly confirms that Zelensky gave the order to take Liman at any cost before the signing of an agreement on the entry of new territories into the Russian Federation.

Surprisingly, it was today that our military commanders SUDDENLY began to fight according to textbooks. That is - smart. From the Artyomovsky direction, literally on the march, they remove the Wagners PMC and send them to save the garrison in Krasny Liman. Instead of them, Artemovsk and Soledar are shut up by mobilized reserves that have arrived, also on the march, but, thank God, not in the first line.

After a strong barrage of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Stavki (it is a village at the Northern edge of the Liman's "pimp"), our tankers went on a counteroffensive!

With God men!💤🚀🔥💥

The decision of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to apply for accelerated NATO membership came as a surprise to the US administration, Politico reports, citing sources.

No, Ukraine will not enter NATO. Ever.
