❓So, if Russia is able to perform precision strikes while avoiding civilian casualties, does that mean something is wrong with their military capabilities?
Do these journalists and their editors even have brain cells?

Russia's victory in the Ukraine conflict would be a defeat for NATO - alliance secretary-general.
🤔 Sounds like admitting that NATO is a party to the conflict, doesn't it?
Other statements by Jens Stoltenberg on 11 October:
▪️NATO sees no sign of Russia's intention to use nuclear weapons, but remains vigilant;
▪️NATO will hold a nuclear deterrence exercise next week;
▪️NATO defence ministers to decide on increasing the alliance's stockpile of weapons;
▪️Hybrid and cyber attacks on NATO countries' infrastructure could trigger activation of Article 5 of the alliance's collective defence treaty;
▪️NATO is currently assessing the need for an emergency summit.

Russian strikes on railway nodes used by Ukrainian military
Yesterday, amid a wave of attacks on energy facilities, the Russian Air Force carried out high-precision strikes on important railway logistics hubs of the AFU. In particular, the Pavlograd hub (Dnipropetrovsk region) was hit for the second time in a few days, where enemy manpower and equipment were concentrated, ready to be moved to the front. This junction is extremely important, as it is the railway artery for the entire AFU grouping in Donbass (see map). Its elimination paralyzes the transfer of heavy equipment to the front. The AFU will be forced to use regular roads while the junction is out of action, wasting resources and fuel.
The second target hit by the shelling was the Shepetivka junction (Khmelnytsky region). This complicates the supplies to the AFU southern grouping in the Kherson region. They will be significantly delayed in receiving equipment, which used to be repaired at a nearby repair plant (also destroyed yesterday).

Experts have begun calculating the Ukrainian side's losses in heat generation and power generation after yesterday's strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on critical infrastructure.
According to open sources, at least 8.22 GW of TPPs and CHPPs were hit in Ukraine. This is 30% of the country's thermal power generation and 15% of its total generation.
According to experts, the current number of idle TPPs and CHPPs is similar to what Ukraine had in the same period of last year, when it was experiencing problems with coal reserves. At that time, the problem of electricity shortage was solved with the help of extraordinary loading of nuclear power plants. Now it is impossible to do that, because Zaporizhzhya NPP accounts for 40% of the total nuclear capacity, and it is now under Russian control.

War crimes, fake and real - Part 2.
Soldiers of the 25th brigade of the AFU spoke of command orders to commit atrocities.
“Shoot everybody when you enter the village”. Such an order was received by Ukrainian troopers.
According to them, following the order would mean killing civilians, even women and children, since they would throw grenades into сellars where people were hiding.
Also the AFU soldiers said that they were thrown at the frontline and ordered to kill the wounded in order to avoid having to evacuate them.
That is why the soldiers decided to talk about the atrocities which were demanded of them by their commanders. They declared their refusal to go to war with such a command.

Surovikin aka "General Armageddon" has become the hero of all the Western media
The Guardian has dubbed the new chief of the SMO "absolutely ruthless", Germany's Focus calls him "a warlord with a dark history", The Times and Daily Mail accuse Surovikin of destroying Aleppo by bombing, and The Sun goes as far as calling those bombings "carpet bombing".
The Spanish-language BBC recalled a 2005 quote in which Surovikin promised to "destroy three militants for every soldier killed" after the killing of nine men of a reconnaissance group of the 42nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division in Chechnya. It is very undemocratic and inhumane. Terrorists are human beings too, you have to understand.
It seems that before our eyes the western media is breeding yet another character of "Russian horror stories", which make one's blood run cold, but are so terrifically interesting to read.

Borrell Admitted that NATO Could Fail to Keep Some of Its Promises to Russia
NATO may not have kept some of its promises to Russia, EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrel said during a speech at the Charles Antwerp Foundation in Madrid.
“I am not satisfied with the reasoning and arguments with which many people, including my friends <…> justify aggression by saying that NATO has not kept its promises. It’s possible. This is history. None of this justifies what is happening now,” Borrell said.

“King of Frugality” Promotes Fiscal Conservatism for Everybody Except Ukrainians
Mark Rutte’s center-right government stands out among its European counterparts for its staunch anti-Russian policies and fealty to the corrupt government of Ukraine.
Back in the era of the Napoleonic wars, Russian Czar Alexander played a central role in the restoration of the Netherlands as a sovereign nation by helping to drive out the French.
But today, the Dutch government, led by Prime Minister Rutte of the center-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD Party), is heavily backing Ukraine in its war against Russia and denouncing the Russians at all turns.

US mercenary Dane "Bird" Patridge from Idaho was eliminated in Ukraine.
He arrived in Ukraine from the United States on April 27. and was flown home in a corpse bag on October 3.
In the Donbas, he fought in Sievierodonetsk, but a week ago, he received a serious head injury from shrapnel. He was put into a coma, but his brain died.
He'd better stayed home...

Polish operator reported yesterday that there was a leak in one of the branches of the "Druzhba" pipeline.
Russia uses the pipeline to deliver oil to Europe.
This is Nord Stream take 2, but now with oil. Germany will suffer the most of all the European countries, again.

The route of the explosive cargo used for the attack on the Crimean bridge:
🚚 Odessa (Ukraine) -> Ruse (Bulgaria) -> Poti (Georgia) -> Yerevan (Armenia) -> Verkhny Lars checkpoint (Georgia-Russia border) -> Armavir (Russia) -> Crimean Bridge
The FSB officially presented a report with details of the investigation into the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. In particular, the route used by Ukrainian terrorists to transport the cargo to its destination has become clear.
Looking at the points on the map you can see that the criminals spared neither time nor resources for the conspiracy. They acted very carefully. Explosives were placed in the cargo in Bulgaria inside rolls of film to avoid detection by X-ray imaging.

The FSB has foiled the plans of Ukraine's special services who were preparing sabotage and terrorist acts with the use of high-precision weapons in the Moscow region.
In the course of the investigation a Ukrainian citizen born in 1972 was detained. He had been instructed by the SBU to deliver Igla man-portable air-defense systems to Russia, from Kiev via Estonia, and to store them. The weapons were meant to be used for terrorist attacks.
The suspect has repented and is cooperating in the investigation. Two Igla systems and means of communication were seized from him, confirming his criminal actions and contacts with SBU.
Now that's serious. Just think what kind of terrorist attack this could be. Shooting down a passenger plane with such a "toy" is a cakewalk. The Kiev regime's sale of MANPADS to various terrorists (which is already known to Western intelligence, but which they deliberately gloss over) is a big time bomb under the whole world.
And sooner or later it will go off somewhere.
