Zaporizhzhia NPP is completely stopped
September 11 - Operations at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine have been fully stopped as a safety measure, Energoatom, the state agency in charge of the plant, said on Sunday.
The plant "is completely stopped" after the agency disconnected the number 6 power unit from the grid at 3:41 a.m. (0041 GMT), it said in a statement. "Preparations are underway for its cooling and transfer to a cold state."

Blackouts in Ukrainian regions: What's next? 🤔
Late last night several regions of Ukraine were left without electricity as a result of Russian strikes on infrastructure facilities. What can we expect from Russia next?
Scenarios
1. Invitation to negotiations and military enforcement. But here we see the conditions would not be good enough. Kherson + Zaporizhia + DPR/LPR are the most they could demand.
2. The beginning of large-scale and long-term destruction of infrastructure, essentially transitioning from 🇷🇺 Putin's "We haven't started yet" to "We are starting now".
3. A one-time action to reverse the negative effect of the Kharkov retreat, at which point everything would continue at the previous slow pace.
🤔 Comments? The floor is open.

Let's now talk about the economic news, for a change. Washington Post said yesterday that a complete shutdown of Russian oil exports would seriously harm the U.S. economy.
Here's a summary of the article and the various scenarios it lays out.
Seeking to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and force a retreat, Western allies have moved to set a cap on what buyers pay for Russian oil. Putin last week said Russia would retaliate by cutting off gas and oil shipments, which could devastate Europe’s economy and hurt the United States by sending global energy prices soaring.
The outlook in Europe has deteriorated with surprising speed in recent weeks. The European Central Bank raised interest rates by .75 points this past week, with officials saying they expected a “substantial slowdown” there this fall.
While White House aides do not believe a recession in Europe would necessarily cause one in the US, a complete shutdown of Russian oil exports would seriously harm the U.S. economy, according to economists, energy analysts and internal White House assessments.
If Russia keeps selling oil to world markets and only reduces gas exports to Europe, the effect on the U.S. economy probably would be minimal. In fact, that could help U.S. firms that produce natural gas. It could also sap global demand, further alleviating domestic price pressures.
But a complete shut off of Russian oil would threaten the U.S. economy more. If international oil prices soar because of a complete shutdown in Russian exports, American consumers would feel it.
“If Europe plunges into a depression after Russia shuts off energy exports and oil rises to $150 a barrel — there’s a possible impact to the U.S. there that’s really bad,” said Matthew J. Slaughter, an economist at Dartmouth College.
That’s enough to worry economists whose optimistic forecasts White House aides like to cite.
“Russia will cut off their oil export before they take a big price discount,” said Mark Zandi, an economist at Moody’s Analytics. “That will push the economy into recession. Gasoline prices will go skyward, back over its record $5 a gallon almost overnight. The economy can’t digest $5 a gallon — that would be overwhelming.”

Orthodox and Muslim cooperation.
Now, thankfully, that topic is easy to talk about, it is not as heavy heartened, it is easy to measure and the topic is slightly wholesome in my opinion.
Now, some of you may have been looking at these Chechens fighting for Russia in Ukraine, and wondering to yourself, why are hardcore Muslims fighting for Russia, which was historically, a country that is a Christian Orthodox one, that had fought multiple wars against Muslim states, like Persia and the Ottomans?
Well, everything, again, needs context...
A quick view about Orthodox Christians, first of all, they objectively had the most interactions with Muslims, and as a matter of fact, had the longest time in living amongst them, the Copts in Egypt, the Syrian Orthodox church, the Greek Orthodox church in Turkey, the Levant, and Egypt, the Serbian and other South Slavic churches during the rules of the Ottomans, etc, no Catholic or Protestant church has lived under or amongst Muslims as long as the Orthodox, and the vice versa, no Muslim community permanently lived under a Christian leadership besides the Orthodox, because under Protestant, Calvinist, or Catholic rule, things tended to get.. rather spicy.
So, the subscriber asked me a question, how and why are the Orthodox and Muslims cooperating? Considering the wars in the Caucasus, and the Balkans, and so on.
Well, my dear subscriber, the Orthodox and Muslims have mingled and lived in each other's lands, and have had longer and bigger interactions with the Muslims, than any other Christian community that is native to their land, and the opposite is true.
Now, is everything so rosy and pretty? No, we've had wars, and raids, and countless horrors inflicted on each other, but considering the Orthodox were the "frontier" of Christianity regarding Muslims, they tend to know us better, and the opposite is true, and it is not a secret that the most successful integration in Europe are when the Muslims settle in Orthodox lands, since we relate to them better than the rest.
Also, Orthodox communities are considered the most strict, actually just as strict as Islam, do you see gay parades in Belgrade or Vladivostok? Are their people open to alien and anti religious values? The answer would be no, so that's why we as Muslims respect the Orthodox more than the other sects, they tended to be more conservative and real in their values.
Therefore, I am not afraid to admit, I would rather have friendly relations with an Orthodox country than a Catholic or a Protestant, one is ruled by soulless capitalists and the other is a normal sane society

Western media have gone as far as directly comparing the actions of the Ukrainian forces in the Kharkov sector to those of the Wehrmacht.
"The move to impose a stranglehold around Izyum, a town with a pre-war population of 46,000, has rekindled memories of a major encounter fought in almost exactly the same territory in World War II. It was here that the Germans delivered a major blow with Operation Federicus against Joseph Stalin’s Red Army, which overreached and suffered some quarter of a million dead and wounded".
Until recently, it was hard to imagine Politico's editorial board would do such a great job helping Russia to prove that the current conflict essentially continues the fight against the same old enemy.

Western media have gone as far as directly comparing the actions of the Ukrainian forces in the Kharkov sector to those of the Wehrmacht. "The move to impose a stranglehold around Izyum, a town with a pre-war population of 46,000, has rekindled memories…
Speaking of the parallels between the actions of the Ukrainian Army and those of the Wehrmacht: our subscribers have pointed out the similarity of the Kharkov counter-offensuve to the Battle of the Bulge, variously known as the Ardennes Offensive and Operation Wacht Am Rhein. Though initial successes were made due to the lack of forces in the area, it was still Hitler's dying gasp and another successful offensive was never made after that. Allied leaders also reacted to this as an opportunity to destroy the German forces out in the open instead of having to fight them in their fortifications.
A similar effect is occurring in Kharkov where September estimates of Ukrainian army casualties range up to 15,000. This is two orders of magnitude above the prior routine reports of 100 killed here and 300 killed there. While it was surprising that Ukraine was able to assemble such a large force, they will probably never have such a force again.
What the change in tactics this offensive has revealed is that NATO is now in complete control of the Ukrainian armed forces. Scott Ritter observes that this does not mean Russia will lose, it just means that a lot more people on both sides will be killed, including civilians.
There are various ways Russia can respond to this. The only way to stop the back and forth seesaw of events is to commit an overwhelming force. Russia will need to evaluate whether the efforts to create additional volunteer forces and PMO forces are yielding sufficient results without increasing the force limits placed on the SMO. If not, Russia might have to pass a new resolution stating that NATO's intervention means that the SMO force limits will have to be eliminated or raised.

Kiev says Russian teachers detained in Ukraine
Teachers from Russia who taught the Russian programme in local schools have been detained in the Kharkov Region, the Ukrainian deputy prime minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, has told the Strana.ua news and analysis website.
The Russian teachers detained in Ukraine may face up to 12 years in prison. However, the press service of the Russia-backed Kharkov military and civil administration told RIA Novosti that there were no Russian teachers on the territory of the region.
Furthermore, according to Vereschuk, Ukrainian teachers who agreed to work under the Russian programme will face up to 15 years in prison, they will be tried under the article on collaboration activities.

Brothers, Sisters, and Compatriots.
I am here to address some of your concerns, complaints, and to be blunt, the disappointment you have, in not only the political leadership of the Russian leadership, but the General Staff.
And that is justified, after all, criticism should be allowed, and although we know we will win in the end, some of you may be wondering, why have we not hit the power plants on day one? why have we not hit Bankova? why is Zelensky taking photoshoots in Izyum while the commander-in-chief is fucking around in Vladivostok? Why is the Russian Army, the second most powerful in the world, having to enact retreats and suffered an operational setback against a country that is one of the most corrupt, backward states in Europe?
I admit, this is disheartening, I do not claim to have been in the operations room, or to know what is going on in the heads of the commander of chief, Gerasimov, or Shoigu, but I know this, ordinary citizens like me and you, have the right to criticize and lend our opinions, preferably educated ones, into the general discussion, however it is also our duty, that while we criticize the General Staff and the commander-in-chief in regards to specific policies, that we do not make our guys at the front feel like worthless shit, and I am sure they are starting to feel so, the stories coming out of the Kharkov region being abandoned by the soldiers is horrifying, and what is a Soldiers duty if he is not there to defend his community?
We will prevail guys, but let us hope the Kremlin knows what it is doing and has some 4D chess plan that we are not privy to at the moment.

❗️WARNING: Ukrainian authorities are preparing to pin a war crime on Russia in Izyum, similar to the way they did in Bucha. Reports about thousands of people killed by the Russian military in Izyum have started to appear in pro-Ukrainian social media. So far, these are idiosyncratic media operators, but soon there will be many more such posts and they will be picked up by the Western media. This was highlighted by the Russian Chamber of Deputies.
The new black operation follows the exact same pattern as the Bucha scenario. Back then, fakes also began to appear on the third or fourth day after the withdrawal of the Russian troops. We have repeatedly and in detail proved their invalidity.
At the same time, it is Ukrainian officials and the military who use the internet to intimidate local residents suspected of collaborating with Russian volunteers or the military. In the Kharkov region, Ukrainian militants beat civilians and take them to unknown destinations without trial. Moreover, Ukrainian troops have been shelling Izyum on a regular basis for several months, leading to considerable destruction in the city.😡

Ukrainian army starts repression of civilians in the Kharkov Region
Civilians in the north of the Kharkov Region are no longer able to evacuate, Ukrainian militants have started repressions there, said the chairman of the Kharkov Region's Russia-backed military and civil administration Vitaliy Ganchev speaking on the Russian TV channel Rossiya 24.
"There are very long lines at our crossing points from the side of the Kharkov region [UPDATE: the lines issue has apparently been resolved by now]. Everything is done to ensure that these people get out as quickly as possible. The Ukrainian army has occupied settlements in the north of the Kharkov region, people can no longer cross the border there. Repressive actions have already started and people already have to hide," he said.
Earlier, Ganchev urged civilians to leave the region to save their lives and health, also noting that the situation in Kupyansk, Balakleya and Izyum is tense.

In Odessa, a local "nationalist" publicly vandalised a monument to the founder of the city, the Russian Empress Catherine II, pouring red paint on it.
The vandal waited for the police to arrive. They took him to the police station but then immediately released him, without even drawing up a criminal report.
This example clearly shows that the word 'law' has lost all meaning in Ukraine. Obviously, if this nationalist wrote an offensive comment about Zelensky in social media, he would immediately be arrested and thrown in jail. Whereas other types of politically motivated offences, up to and including murder, are given a 'green light'.
