⚡️⚡️ Some key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on October 26

Nuclear drills
Russia will carry out its second nuclear deterrence drill in a year: the first took place five days before the start of the special operation in UkraineRussia begins its Grom-2022 nuclear drills.

It is expected that from October 26 to October 29, during the strategic nuclear exercises Grom (Thunder)-2022, intercontinental ballistic missiles will be launched from the Plesetsk cosmodrome and from a submarine from the waters of the Kola Peninsula to the Kura missile range. Also, long-range aircraft will fire long-range cruise missiles in the Arctic, approximately from Amderma airfield in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug to the Pemboy training ground in Komi.

Russia has notified the United States about its plans to carry out annual exercises of its nuclear forces, the U.S. government said on Tuesday, as its obligations under New START Treaty require.

On October 17, the NATO began a two-week long exercise in Europe to train aircrews in using U.S. non-strategic nuclear bombs. The exercise, known as Steadfast Noon, is centered at Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium, one of six airbases in Europe that store U.S. nuclear bombs.

UN battles
The rhetoric of US representative at the UN meeting nly confirmed Russia's warnings regarding of Kyiv’s “dirty bomb" provocation, said Deputy head of the Russian delegation Konstantin Vorontsov, according to RIA. Moscow believes it will be accused of using tactical nuclear weapons.

The US representative at the Conference on Disarmament, Bruce Turner, called Russia's statements about Kiev's upcoming provocation with a "dirty bomb" "another case of disinformation in order to create a potential pretext for Russia's use of tactical weapons.

Meanwhile, Russia has once again filed an official complaint to the UN against the United States and Ukraine for non-compliance with its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention (BTWC).

Germany role
Germany promised to transfer four Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers and two multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) MARS. According to German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who arrived to Ukraine on a surprise visit on Tuesday, the weapons will be delivered in the near future. Earlier, the German Chancellor announced the imminent transfer of three more IRIS-T air defense systems to Ukraine.

The President of Germany spent an hour and a half in a bomb shelter today during his visit to Ukraine. The air alert was announced when Frank-Walter Steinmeier was communicating with local residents in the town of Koryukovka, Chernihiv region.

Some pro-Russian commentators noted the “symbolism” of the visit to Koryukovka, where in March 1943 over 6700 people were killed by Ukrainian nationalists on the orders of their Nazi army. As the forensic examination later showed, many of them were tortured with bone crushing before their death. The village itself was wiped off the face of the earth.

European industry associations say that ban on Russian aluminium imports would destroy European industry - Reuters

Five European industry associations have called on the authorities not to impose sanctions on Russian aluminium. This could put thousands of companies out of business.
😁10
Adhering to principles - to a certain extent...

The Dutch authorities have exempted 91 companies and a government agency from implementing anti-Russian sanctions. The Ministry of Infrastructure allowed Russian vessels carrying aluminium and foodstuffs to enter ports. Energy from former Gazprom subsidiaries was also allowed. @banksta

Just remember with what pathos they told us in March that "Dutch ports are now closed to Russian ships". Looks like there are always a few buts...

The number one news channel in France, BFM-TV, cut the live broadcast of its own journalist! Because she admitted that at that moment all Ukrainian soldiers were shooting at hospitals!
"This is totally unacceptable! Here is proof that the French media has rules! I have been condemning this for months now! Cutting on-air information because it shows the truth is called MANIPULATION. The journalists who manipulate the truth of information should be condemned!!!

The Kiev regime has already completed technical preparations for its "dirty bomb" provocation, RIA Novosti reports.

Acoording to RIA Novosti's source familiar with the situation, specialists of the Ukrainian company Yuzhmash have already created a dummy of the Iskander missile, which is due to be filled with radioactive material. Then the plan is that Ukrainian air defence forces will "shoot it down" over the Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone and claim that the Russian Armed Forces launched a nuclear charge.

The source specified that the fake Iskander missile was made on the basis of the Tochka-U missile: "After the fake missile has been 'shot down', the Kiev authorities intend to show the Western and Ukrainian media the fragments of the model and electronic elements of the alleged Iskander missile, in order to convince the Western public that Russia is guilty"

😂 Hilarious sarcastic piece by "The Voice of Mordor" telegram channel:

"I learned an amazing thing today - the Russians want to destroy the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam to deprive Crimea of water.

That is, Russians have been working hard for eight years to provide water to Crimea; they finally unblocked the Crimean canal; and when water finally flows to the peninsula, they sigh heavily and decide, "Now we will definitely deprive Crimea of water!"

They're just beasts by nature. And, in addition, horribly illogical. Their actions can hardly even be called illogical because they are sheer absurdity. But they are Russians, so why should anyone be surprised? After all, some believed that for eight years Donetsk men kissed their wives and children in the morning, put on their military uniforms, drove out of town, loaded their howitzers and rocket launchers and shelled their own houses. The houses where their women and children were staying. Did they believe it? Yes, they did!

Did anyone believe that after deploying Russian National Guard units at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, other army units deploy their howitzers and rocket launchers nearby and shell this very NPP, trying to damage either the spent fuel storage facility or to directly hit the reactors? Did anyone believe? Yes, and they still do. And even the chief atomic dupe, Grossi, after visiting the plant mumbled something like the station was shelled, but it was unclear who exactly did it. It must have been aliens. Or - Russians again.

I wonder just one thing - why are Russians taking such pains instead of shelling themselves directly on Russian territory? After all, it is much easier, and no one would reproach them. On the contrary, Ukrainians would be ecstatic.

Now, in fact, they are, but for a different reason.

And why wouldn't the AFU have an easy victory if Russians help them by bombarding themselves endlessly? After all, it is actually an advantage! And what an advantage!

Jokes aside, I really wish that someone would pay for this lie in the end. Zelensky would be ideal, but there's not much chance of that. Either his bosses will finish him, or he will become the "president of Ukraine in exile" on some warm island. But he is not alone. There is a whole system at work here, including thousands of journalists and bloggers who relentlessly tell the world how Russians are bombarding themselves.

Hopefully we will see it coming. In the meantime, there is good news, too. The internet in Ukraine is failing badly. So it is getting harder and harder to spread the word that Russians are shelling themselves. There is a chance that the Internet will stop working there completely. But then, how would we live without amazing news from Ukraine?"

‼️🇷🇴"Shame! Stop feeding Ukraine!" - Mass protests were held in Romania against NATO and the authorities' policies

"Romanians protest pretty often, but I haven't seen anything like this before. Such a fierceness. People are against moving NATO troops into their country. This is the response. They started with the slogans, "we are not a foothold", "stop feeding Ukraine", "shame", and the like, and ended with clashes. The story was successfully hushed up by the authorities, "not a word about the protest anywhere", a reader of RVvoenkor Telegram channel reports.

⚡️⚡️ Some key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on October 27


Blame it on the weather
Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukraine's defence minister, said wet weather and rough terrain were making Kyiv's counter-offensive in Kherson harder than it was in the northeast, where it pushed Russia back in September. Reznikov declined to elaborate when pressed on Kyiv's plans in the south, according to Reuters. However, Advisor to the office of the President of Ukraine Oleksiy Arestovich said that the situation in the Kherson direction has changed in an unpleasant direction for Kyiv. According to him, a "huge military force" has been thrown there.

While officials and military analysts have predicted Kherson battle will be one of the key ones, Russian forces are developing a counter-offensive in the north of Luhansk region as well as in Donetsk front.

Kherson evacuation
"The administration of the Kherson region has been moved from Kherson to the left bank,” Deputy head of the regional administration Kirill Stremousov told RIA Novosti. According to him, the city services of Kherson continue to work in a special mode.
Acting head of the region Vladimir Saldo said more than 70 thousand people had left for the left bank of the Dnieper after the authorities of the Kherson region urged residents to leave Kherson immediately "due to the tense situation at the front."

Plan B
US officials have been forced to scale back a plan to impose a cap on Russian oil prices, Bloomberg reports, following skepticism by investors and growing risk in financial markets brought on by crude volatility and central bank efforts to tame inflation.

Instead of strangling the Kremlin’s oil revenues by imposing a strict lid on prices that would have been observed by a broad “buyer’s cartel” of nations, the US and European Union are likely to settle for a more loosely policed cap at a higher price than once envisioned, with just Group of Seven nations and Australia committed to abide by it, according to people familiar with the matter.

CIA hand
The head of the CIA, William Burns, travelled to Ukraine in early October, CNN revealed citing sources. In Kyiv, he held meetings with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and other officials. “While there, he reinforced the US commitment to provide support to Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, including continued intelligence sharing,” a US official told CNN.

Putin at Valdai
Russian President Vladimir Putin will take part in a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club on the last day of the conference. The session’s topic will be A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security For Everyone. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said earlier that Putin would deliver an extensive report, which will be followed by a discussion. The session will be moderated by Fyodor Lukyanov.

“HOW CAN YOU THROW THAT MANY OF YOUR PEOPLE TO DEATH? DO THEY WANT NO MALE CITIZENS LEFT IN UKRAINE AT ALL?”

Igor ‘Said’, battalion commander of the 11th motorized rifle regiment of the 1st DPR Army Corps appeals to the Government of Ukraine.
He has been fighting since 2015. Even he is surprised by Kiev's attitude to their own soldiers.

Like at Kherson: Vladimir Zelensky approved Washington’s simple decision - to pave all the way to Kherson with Ukrainian soldiers’ corpses. And in addition, they need to take this city by storm without encircling it.

Kiev is doing its best not to let Biden down, trying to make noise about the success of their country which is in fact a cooling corpse.

The armed Forces of Ukraine say they will not report on the results of their air defence operation

This also applies to the progress of arrival of IRIS-T and Nasams anti-aircraft missile systems and their combat performance, the statement says.

It looks like the vaunted NATO systems developed in the 90s, have failed to meet Ukrainian hopes.
