🇷🇺🇺🇦A resident of the Ukrainian capital posted on Twitter striking elements of an outdated 9N314 warhead from a 9M38 anti-aircraft guided missile for the 9K37 Buk air defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, found near the office of Samsung Corporation in Kyiv, next to which the rocket exploded on October 10.
The striking elements in the 9N314 warhead just have the characteristic shape of a parallelepiped and a similar size. Thus, it can be stated with confidence that it was the Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile from the Buk air defense system that hit the building of the Kyiv office of Samsung, due to an operator error or failure. This is far from the first case of Ukrainian Buk fire on civilian infrastructure. On February 26, a 9M38 missile from the Buk air defense system also hit a high-rise building in Zhuliany, then Klitschko himself "boasted" of its striking elements. And already on August 29, a similar Buk missile hit the Ingul bridge in Nikolaev, which was confirmed by the publication of its damaging elements by the Ukrainian military. @milinfolive

🇷🇺🇺🇦The Office of the President of Ukraine announces another exchange of prisoners of war. It is reported that 32 Ukrainian soldiers and the body of a deceased Israeli who fought on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were handed over to Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense, according to its ingrained habit, does not consider it necessary to burden itself with prompt information about the return of Russian soldiers home, so we are forced to learn about past exchanges from Ukraine every time. @milinfolive

◾A strong appeal of a Russian woman to Ukrainians.
◾You're yelling that Putin attacked you. Who do you mean by you? You or those fucking Nazis that you've been raising all these fucking 30 years?
◾Their dollar is not backed by anything, do you understand that, huh? They live off these wars. They need this war. They rejoice and you suffer. Open your fucking eyes. It was you who longed for America.

▪️The eighth package of Western sanctions is no punishment for Russia (9th is evidently needed)
▪️Iran provides Russia with high end drones
▪️Ukraine does not plan military action against Belarus and is only interested in protecting its sovereignty

The commander of the Ukrainian volunteer battalion brags about killing civilians suspected of "correcting" (filming military objects in order to hand them over to the enemy).
"We don't have time to put them in jail," he openly tells journalist Mosiychuk, who clearly approves of such actions.
"We will have to do a census after the war of how many people are missing in the area."

Thoughts on the SMO, the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and the events after Crimea (by Visionaire)—PART I (1/2)
After six months of steady Russian advances on Ukraine, in September, Ukraine managed to pull off its expected counter-offensive operation. Its goal was to push the allied forces out of occupied areas all along the front. Now, a month later, let us review the situation on the ground from a combined political, economic, and military perspective, in order to assess the situation as we are moving towards the winter season.
By the end of August, the allied forces had captured approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory, including major cities such as Kherson (290k), Melitopol (150k), Berdyansk (110k), Mariupol (450k), Severdonetsk (100k), Lysychansk (100k), Izium (50k). Huge parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv oblasts came under Russian control. These areas comprise a significant part of Ukraine’s economy, since we are talking about human resources, major industrial sites, ports, logistic hubs, mineral deposits, and so on. Those rapid gains brought euphoria to the Allies as the special military operation was moving forward without much hindrance. But with the rapid territorial expansion new problems would soon arise. The frontline would eventually span a more than a thousand-kilometer line, which the limited Russian military grouping would not be able to defend.
From the beginning of the conflict it became obvious that Russian hopes of a quick victory over Ukraine were impossible, partly due to a lack of commitment and tactical/strategic blunders and miscalculations, but mostly due to the West’s position on the Ukrainian crisis. We first witnessed this after the failed diplomatic efforts in Constantinople, where some basic agreement was made but never implemented by Ukraine since the backers of the Kiev regime found it unacceptable. Zelensky was told to prepare for total war and was promised virtually unlimited support, financially and militarily. By the time Mariupol fell in May, it was obvious that if Ukraine wasn’t immediately assisted, it would fall and a decisive victory for Russia would be possible. At this point, we notice a huge increase in military equipment supplied to Ukraine, inflows of mercenaries and specialists from NATO countries as well as multiple waves of mobilization.
Moscow’s response to the growing aggressiveness of the West has been non-existent until recently. The lack of strategic foresight was not obvious until it was too late. The Allied forces continued the offensive during summer, making slow and steady gains. Meanwhile, Ukraine was able to hold the line while preparing reserves, and ammunition stockpiles, training new units and reinforcing decimated ones, getting accustomed to western weapons, and studying the fronts in preparation for their assault. The lack of targeting logistics and energy infrastructure allowed Ukraine to get ready without any serious issues, despite widespread corruption, economic decline, and low morale brought by defeat after defeat on the battlefield. Kiev’s lifeline had been established and Moscow did nothing to hinder it, for reasons we will delve into deeper at another time.

Thoughts on the SMO, the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and the events after Crimea (by Visionaire)—PART I (2/2)
Long story short, after a relatively quiet August, Ukraine attacked on the Kharkiv front with forces numerically superior both in terms of manpower and equipment. Despite their obsolete and costly tactics, the impossibility for Russia to hold the frontline against the opponent was evident.
Allied forces withdrew in an orderly manner, suffering minimal casualties and equipment losses. The truth of this statement can be found on the Ukrainian and western propaganda channels, where there were just few posts with visual confirmation of destroyed/captured personnel and equipment. It has become a habit for the information warriors on Kiev’s side to post every dead Russian, every prisoner, every vehicle, and even small arms captured, and trust me, they are but a minuscule portion of the relevant footage we have seen from the Russian side.
Still, with the backing of West’s media giants, the field of information warfare is definitely dominated by pro-Ukraine elements. It was rather easy to portray minor tactical victories of minimal strategic importance (with the exception of Izium maybe) as grand victories. But in reality, PR victories are just helping people to cope, create consent or gain more external support, things that rarely shape the conditions on the battlefield.
A good example would be Lyman, a town of around 20 thousand people which was under siege for three weeks. The way I read the facts, three weeks of demilitarization and denazification was a good price for it. Territories can and usually tend to change hands a lot of times during conflicts, but dead men can’t fight, blown ammunition can’t kill, and destroyed armor can’t be replaced on a whim.
Remember, all this stuff required to wage war is finite, and with the growing strain on Ukraine’s and the West’s industries, things are only bound to get worse. At some point we should make an estimate of how much money and lethal aid has been poured into the Ukrainian black hole, and if the payback was proportional. But we already know the answer to this last question, don’t we?
In the next parts, we are going to look into the way Moscow handled the situation, the critical events that shaped and forced the special military operation to evolve, and its prospects.

@Rybar Comments on the Need for Escalation of Strikes
We saw the answer this afternoon from the announcements of new air defence equipment deliveries to Ukraine. The German IRIS-T has already arrived (https://news.1rj.ru/str/rybar/40064) and NASAMS is expected soon.
So, while the Ukrainian command has not had time to qualitatively reinforce the air defences, it is time to move on to priority targets, such as the 750kV substations which we discussed in detail with RT (https://news.1rj.ru/str/rybar/40035) earlier.
