A foreign mercenary somewhere in the Balakley area

In a video published by Boris Rozhin, he turned out to be Malcomb Nance.

A well-known figure in the States, before going to Ukraine, he often appeared as a military analyst on MSNBC. He has combat experience, having served in the US Navy. On his Wikipedia page, it is reported that he specialized in naval cryptology.

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.

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.

Who was your great grandfather hanging with in 1939? A very oddly specific time period.

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.😡

The Russian Defence Ministry publishes footage of the destruction of a Ukrainian paratrooper barge that left the Nikopol area and was heading towards Energodar.

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.

🇺🇸🇷🇺RAND Corp: Exploiting Armenian and Azeri Tensions

RAND corp's 2019 study noscriptd "Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground" was prepared for the US army and suggests with remarkable accuracy who might be behind what will undoubtedly become a major threat to Russian security in coming months.

This raises the question whether the dark hands of an Anglo-American intelligence operation are behind the current Azeri-Armenia conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. Adding further gunpowder to the Caucasus unrest, on October 5, 2020 NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO’s security interests are synonymous with those of Turkey, despite Turkish purchase of Russian advanced air defence systems.

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'.

Hungary is no longer a full democracy, MEPs say in new resolution.

Apparently, it doesn't take much to stop being a democracy: it's enough not to grant your support to anti-Russia sanctions that would cause serious damage to your economy.

The meaning of the word "democracy" is twisted these days. Every puppet of the US is a "democracy", while "dictatorships" and "authoritarian regimes" are those countries who wish to have some degree of sovereignty. 🤡

MRLS HIMARS kill children. Kiev regime’s militants struck a college in Perevalsk, LPR. As a result, a teenager was killed, 6 children were injured. The educational institution was accommodating orphaned children

"The concentration of Ukrainian heavy equipment is increasing along the entire line of contact in the Zaporozhye region, the situation is tense", — reports Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Main Council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region.

It is also reported about the abandonment of Belogorovka near Lisichansk and Kiselevka near Kherson. Ukrainian troops had confidence in themselves after the regrouping of the Russian army near Kharkov.

In an interview with "Dozhd' radio station, which is now broadcasting from the Baltic States, the Office of the President adviser Podolyak said that in fact Ukraine is ready to arrange a "bloodbath" in Kherson, Zaporozhye, LPR and DPR with subsequent actions in the Crimea. Now Russia has no other choice but to win.

Last Friday (9.09.22), the Ukrainian armed forces shelled Donetsk city centre. They shot at the theatre and almost hit a café, to whose brave worker Ekaterina Chubuk this post is dedicated.

Here are the details:
▪️First attack: panic on the veranda, people crawling under the tables, someone crying.
▪️The second shelling: waitress Katya rushes out and starts taking people into the basement, literally by the hand. And then, by the theatre, onlookers are taking selfies in front of the crater and she rushes out to them and takes them to the basement.
▪️Only when all are safe she goes down to the cellar too, and while she is running, another explosion happens, it smashes out the window glass, Katya covers her face with her hands, the glass cuts them and splinters get stuck in her hair.
▪️The next day people come to the café with flowers and boxes of chocolates, thanking Katya for saving their lives.

On 13.09.22 Denis Pushylin awarded Ekaterina Chubuk with Medal for Courage 🔥 Our respects to Katya 💪
