On February 24, 2022, the day the Russian incursion commenced, Volodymyr Zelensky ordered destruction of all documents related to Metabiota, a company Hunter Biden invested heavily in that received contracts from the Pentagon's biological weapons program in Ukraine.[3]
During the night of February 25–26, 2022 Volodymyr Zelensky sent a ceasefire proposal to Russia via the Chinese embassy in Kyiv. The Kremlin immediately responded by setting out its conditions:[4]
- arrest of all Nazis (Dmitro Yarosh and the Azov Battalion, etc.)
- removal of all street names and destruction of monuments glorifying Nazi collaborators during the Second World War (Stepan Bandera, etc.),
- laying down of weapons.
Traditionally, the Ukrainian army was trained according to Russian/Soviet standards. Which meant, that the officers leading their troops from the front. This had not been applied. The West took full control of Ukrainian command and control and controlled it through communication, established by Starlink. The Ukrainian officers were not allowed to lead from the front, which irritated most of the Ukrainian troops. They searched for their officers in the field and found very few.
According to a Spetsnaz source,[5] Russian forces recovered a nuclear dirty bomb that was brought into Ukraine from the West at Gostomel outside of Kiev in March 2022.[6] So-called "armour piercing shells," as they are commonly referred to in the United States, in its media, and in Congressional committees, is actually a battlefield nuclear weapon that uses depleted uranium.
After the NATO-led assault on the Kharkov and Izium front in September 2022,[7] numerous assassinations, sabotage, nuclear blackmail, terrorism plots and continued shelling of the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics killing dozens of civilians - including children with U.S.-built HIMAR missile launcher systems,[8] the Russian State Duma began debating an upgrade of the Special Military Operation to a counterterrorism operation.[9] Between the Kharkov and Kherson counteroffensives, 12,000 Ukrainian and NATO forces were killed. Russian casualties were fewer than 400. Ukraine threw all its strategic reserves into the fight. Due to the magnitude of losses and the approaching seasonal change, Gen. Valerei Zaluzhnyi was reported to have advised Zelensky to cease the counteroffensive and revert to a defensive posture.
In July 2022 the BBC reported that Ukraine was losing 200 troops per day, according to a Zelensky aid.[10]
On September 26, 2022, the United States attacked the civilian infrastructure oof Europe by sabotaging Nordstream pipelines in Danish water off Barnholm island,[11] guaranteeing that the German people and others throughout the continent would lack natural gas for heating as winter approached. The detachment of US Navy ships led by the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge announced the completion of work in the area of the alleged sabotage on gas pipelines. US ships completed their tasks in the Baltic Sea and were spotted heading to the Baltic Straits into the North Sea. President Putin had proposed three weeks earlier to reopen the pipeline to alleviate Europeans home heating crisis[12] while Biden had vowed to end the pipeline.[13]
With the approval of the four treaties of accession to the Russian Federation by the Russian State Duma, the second phase of the Special Military Operation came to an end and the four new territories came under the protective defense of the Russian nuclear umbrella. With the incorporation four new Republics into the Federation, Russia found itself under conditions that Russian Military Doctrine describes as the "massive use by the enemy of modern and advanced combat weapons" flooded into Ukraine by the Western powers NATO bloc.[14]
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal was quoted by Politico in September 2022 saying Russia had only about “four dozen” hypersonic missiles remaining.[15] On November 18, Russia hit Ukraine's power grid with 96 missiles, its largest missile strike to date. Russia was supposed to be running out of missiles since April 2022, according to Western media and intelligence sources. Meanwhile, the United States contracted with South Korea for the purchase of 100,000 artillery shells to donate to Ukraine, about a 20 supply at current consumption rates, being the US has depleted its stockpiles. The simple facts are, the equipment NATO sent to Ukraine since February 2022 was never sufficient, and only prolonged the war causing unnecessary deaths, NATO's ability to resupply has shrunken over time, and the material is essentially destroyed by the Russian military as quickly as it has been sent into Ukraine.[16]
According to Ukrainian energy officials, Russia's strikes on the electrical power grid "are not aimed at generating facilities to prevent us from producing electricity but at connection systems tied to the Ukrainian energy system…they are aimed at open switchgears, transformers, switches, so that a station that can produce electricity cannot be connected to the unified power system.”[17]
All nuclear power plants were taken offline by November 23, 2022, days after Ukraine's false flag attack on Poland to provoke NATO direct involvement under false pretenses.
On December 16, 2022, the Russian MOD reported, "Russian Armed Forces dealt a massive strike with high-precision long-range air and sea-based weapon on Ukrainian military command and control systems, the military-industrial complex and the energy facilities of Ukraine that provide them...It is specified that all assigned objects were hit...Thanks to this massive strike, the Russian military disrupted the transfer of foreign weapons and ammunition and prevented Ukrainian reserves from moving into the combat areas...In addition, they stopped the work of the enemy's defense enterprises.” Ukrainian prime minister Denis Smyhal told the cabinet, “To get through the winter we need about 17,000 large industrial-sized power plants”.[18]
A survey of obituaries in late December 2022 found the average age of reported deaths of Ukrainian soldiers was 40 years old.
On January 12, 2023, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the appointment of chief-of-staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov as commander of the Russian group of forces in Ukraine is related to the broader scope of objectives in the special military operation. "It is linked with the expansion of the scope of objectives that will be addressed. I have nothing to add to this."
On January 15, 2023, the Russian Interdepartmental Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine warned about another planned false flag provocation. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) mined a granary in the east of the country in an attempt to accuse Moscow of “provoking hunger” and “disrupting” the grain export deal from Ukrainian ports. The explosion should be staged in the city of Karaichnoye, Kharkiv region. A group of up to 30 SBU officers and mine-blasting specialists headed by Mr. Tkachuk arrived in Volchansk. The granary in question is owned by an employee of the SBU, Mr. Uvarov.
Moonofalabama reported on January 17, 2023, "The stocks of two complete armies have by now been destroyed in Ukraine. The resources for a smaller third one will be delivered in the next rounds of 'western' equipment deliveries during the next months. Russia will dully destroy Ukraine's third army just as it has destroyed the first and second one. It is doubtful that the 'West' has enough material left to provide Ukraine with a fourth one."[19] On January 23, 2023, European Council president Charles Michel said in an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, "The next weeks, two or three, are decisive...What happens in 2023 – and much of it depends on the coming weeks – is what will define our future...We have to stand with Ukraine and give them all the support they need...We cannot fail them."[20]
On February 5, 2023 Business Insider reported NATO Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, General Cavoli saying the losses in Ukraine are 'out of proportion' to what NATO had been planning for,[21]
"The magnitude of this war is incredible. The Ukrainians have 37 frontline brigades, plus dozens more territorial brigades. The Russians have lost almost 2,000 tanks. If we average out since the beginning of the war, the slow days and fast days, the Russians have expended on average well over 20,000 artillery rounds per day. The scale of this war is out of proportion with all of our recent thinking."[22] |
On April 15, 2023, it was reported that Russia was using its secret climate weapon causing the historic rainfall and cloud cover over Ukraine, bogging down its troops.[23]

Legality of operation
Vladimir Putin set forth a claim under the doctrine of 'anticipatory collective self-defense', devised originally by the Clinton administration and NATO in regard to the 1998 Kosovo conflict,[24] as it applies to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.[25] The unilateral declarations of independence by the Donbas republics are completely legal and precedented by the West's successful demands for Kosovo to be recognized as independent from Serbia, and adjudicated as such by the International Courts.[26]
The Organization of World Peace reported in 2021, “according to Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021, Ukraine has committed to putting all options on the table to taking back control over the Russian annexed Crimea region. Signed on March 24th, President Zelensky has committed the country to pursue strategies that . . . ‘will prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the peninsula.’”[27] Given that the residents of Crimea, most of whom are ethnic Russians, are quite happy with the current state of affairs under Russian governance – this, according to a 2020 Washington Post report – Zelensky’s threat in this regard was not only a threat against Russia itself but was also a threat of potentially massive bloodshed against a people who do not want to go back to Ukraine.[28] The Donbas war represents a much more compelling case for justifying Russian intervention under the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine which has been advocated by such Western ‘humanitarians’ as Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice, and which was relied upon to justify the NATO interventions in countries like the former Yugoslavia and Libya.
On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin addressed the nation and made clear the objective of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine was not regime change:
"The purpose of this operation is to protect people who, for eight years now, have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kiev regime. To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation. It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force."[29] |
Referendums were conducted in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson republics from September 23–27, 2022 for accession to the Russian Federation. 1,000 international observers were present for the referendums.
Under UN Security Council Resolution 2202 endorsing the Minsk Accords, Vladimir Putin has the right to intervene in Ukraine as a guarantor under his "responsibility to protect".[30]
NATO intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)
The totality of the NATO and ‘Five Eyes’ infrastructure is being utilized 24/7 as a vast rear-end cloud-service and mega-processing/computational-cycle capacity for Ukraine’s frontline forces. Hundreds of satellites, including dozens of imaging ones with 5cm/pixel resolution, skim every inch and quarter of Russian territory, searching for actionable hidden targets. The data is then processed and collated by thousands of fulltime NATO/Five Eyes analysts working in distribution centers all over the world, then fed directly to the Ukrainian crews by way of Starlink and other datalinks, which Ukraine can then sub-distribute via their innovative ‘Nettle’ integrated system to feed those targets to a variety of sector artillery and other systems.[31]
After Russia began its special military operation in Ukraine, the Eastern flank of NATO became an ideal testing ground for the F-35 Lightning II. This was told by the servicemen of the 388th fighter Aviation Regiment of the U.S. Air Force. They became the first unit equipped with the F-35a to arrive to support NATO and were deployed at the German air base Spangdahlem from February to May 2022. Twelve planes and about 300 military personnel arrived in Spangdahlem on February 16.[32] Eight days later an armed conflict began which became the bloodiest confrontation in Europe since the Second World War. The mission of the arrivals was to collect as much electronic data as possible from ground-to-air air defense systems and aircraft in Eastern Europe, to create a map to guide NATO operations. Also, if the conflict escalates to the countries of the bloc, provide military support to the allies. "We didn't cross the border. We didn't shoot or drop anything. But the plane feels, collects information," said the commander of the 388th fighter Aviation regiment, Col. Craig Anderly.
However, as Anderly clarified, the F-35 did not always recognize objects around it. Pilots who were sent on patrol along the borders of Russia complained about the deceptive maneuvers of Russian S-300 air defense systems. They were surprised that fighters designed to overcome enemy air defense systems did not always recognize the S-300 SAM. Pilots sometimes visually observed the S-300 but the F-35 could not make identification. This indicates that Russians have digital ways of evading detection.[33]
A fleet of AWACs collect radar data around the clock from the Polish and Romanian airspace, RQ-4 Global Hawks, with their SAR radars that photograph Crimea daily from the Black Sea, the OTH shortwave radars doing early warning detection on Russia’s airforce flights from thousands of kilometers away, and more.[34] It’s even been suggested that U.S. forces use seismic sensor data to track large Russian force movements.
Battle of Mariupol

NATO aggression
In violation of an agreement between Mikhail Gorbachev and the George H.W. Bush administration, NATO advanced eastward beyond the Oder-Neisse line after 1991.
On October 19, 2022, the United States Central Command took the extremely unusual step of disclosing the presence of a US Navy Ohio Class submarine armed with nuclear ballistic warheads in the Arabian Sea within striking distance of China, Iran and Russia.[35][36]
On February 9, 2023, the Washington Post published a report claiming that the Kiev regime forces “never launch HIMARS rounds without detailed coordinates provided by US military personnel situated elsewhere in Europe”.[37]
Other than economic sanctions and a propaganda information war, under chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg's leadership NATO embarked on its aggressive actions toward Russia with no clear conventional arms strategy. At a meeting of the anti-Russian alliance's Defense Ministers in February 2023, Stoltenberg said the following:
"The war in Ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of munitions, and depleting Allied stockpiles. The current rate of Ukraine’s ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. This puts our defence industries under strain. For example, the waiting time for large-calibre ammunition has increased from 12 to 28 months."[38] |
In January 2023 US dictator Joe Biden announced that the United States would send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine after previously warning in March 2022 that such a move would trigger “World War III.”[39]
In February 2023 the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated: “NATO member states have provided Kiev with scores of heavy weapons since December 2021, including 440 tanks and 1,510 infantry fighting vehicles...Ukraine has also received 1,170 anti-air and 655 artillery systems, as well as 9,800 rockets for mobile multiple rocket launchers...Most of the military equipment supplied by the West has been destroyed by the Russian forces.” According to the Pentagon, the US provided Ukraine with more than $27.4 billion in security aid between February 24, 2022, and January 20, 2023.
Inspector of the German Ground Forces Lieutenant-General Alfons Mais warned NATO at the same time, “Russian resources, like the resources of the Russian army, are practically inexhaustible...Many underestimate the Russian Armed Forces...This cannot be done…Russian troops demonstrate good training...They have an impressive technical arsenal, combat-ready personnel.”[40]
On February 26, 2023, NATO began testing the Russian Federations's air defense system with a series of drone attacks across Russia.
In early April 2023 reports indicated that the most dangerous NATO tank appeared near the Russian borders for the first time in its history. It became widely known about the tightening of K2 Black Panther tanks produced in South Korea around the Russian borders. The tanks were acquired by Poland and were involved in live firing exercises that took place in the immediate vicinity of the borders of the Russian Federation. According to some estimates, the K2 Black Panther is the most dangerous NATO tank.
The NATO K2 tank was being deployed at the Russian borders. Warsaw signed a contract for the purchase of South Korean armored vehicles in July 2022 and the first batch of tanks had arrived in the country. The Polish Army plans to receive 1000 K2 Black Panther tanks at its location which should replace outdated Soviet made T-72 and T-90. The K2 is significantly newer than any Western tank and in many ways much more advanced, which makes it the most combat ready tank in service with any NATO member. It is potentially a serious threat to Russia. The main advantage of the K2 in comparison with the American M1A2 Abrams tanks is the presence of an automatic loader which provides it with a high rate of fire. Also, the combat vehicle is characterized by unpretentiousness in terms of maintenance, and relatively low fuel consumption.[41]
Terrorist attack on Nordstream pipeline
- See also: Nord Stream pipeline#Morganthau Plan 2.0
In 2015, Pipeline Technology Journal reported that the Swedish military discovered a remote operated vehicle (drone) rigged with explosives near the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.[43][44]
Biden and his foreign policy team—National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and Victoria Nuland had been vocal and consistent in their hostility to the two pipelines, which ran side by side for 750 miles under the Baltic Sea from two different ports in northeastern Russia near the Estonian border, passing close to the Danish island of Bornholm before ending in northern Germany.
Many Germans saw Nord Stream 1 as part of the deliverance of former Chancellor Willy Brandt’s famed Ostpolitik, which would enable postwar Germany to rehabilitate itself and other European nations destroyed in World War II by, among other initiatives, utilizing cheap Russian gas to fuel a prosperous Western European market and trading economy.
Biden authorized Jake Sullivan to bring together an interagency group to come up with a plan. In December of 2021, two months before the first Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, Sullivan convened a meeting of a newly formed task force—men and women from the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the CIA, and the State and Treasury Departments—and asked for recommendations about how to respond to Putin’s impending invasion.
Over the next several meetings, the participants debated options for an attack. The Navy proposed using a newly commissioned submarine to assault the pipeline directly. The Air Force discussed dropping bombs with delayed fuses that could be set off remotely. The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert. Everyone involved understood the stakes. “This is not kiddie stuff,” according to a source directly familiar with the matter. If the attack were traceable to the United States, “It’s an act of war.”
Throughout “all of this scheming,” the source said, “some working guys in the CIA and the State Department were saying, ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.’” Nevertheless, in early 2022, the CIA working group reported back to Sullivan’s interagency group: “We have a way to blow up the pipelines.”
On January 27, 2022 neocon provocateur Victoria Nuland stated at a U.S. State Department press briefing "one way or another Nord Stream II will not move forward."
What came next was stunning. On February 7, 2022, less than three weeks before the seemingly inevitable Russian invasion of Ukraine, Biden met in his White House office with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who, after some wobbling, was now firmly on the American team. At the press briefing that followed, Biden defiantly said, “If Russia invades . . . there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”[45]
Several of those involved in planning the pipeline mission were dismayed by what they viewed as indirect references to the attack. “It was like putting an atomic bomb on the ground in Tokyo and telling the Japanese that we are going to detonate it. The plan was for the options to be executed post invasion and not advertised publicly. Biden simply didn’t get it or ignored it.”
Biden's and Nuland's indiscretion, if that is what it was, might have frustrated some of the planners. But it also created an opportunity. According to the source, some of the senior officials of the CIA determined that blowing up the pipeline “no longer could be considered a covert option because the President just announced that we knew how to do it.”
The plan to blow up Nord Stream 1 and 2 was suddenly downgraded from a covert operation requiring that Congress be informed to one that was deemed as a highly classified intelligence operation with U.S. military support. Under the law, the source explained, “There was no longer a legal requirement to report the operation to Congress. All they had to do now is just do it—but it still had to be secret. The Russians have superlative surveillance of the Baltic Sea.”
The Agency working group members had no direct contact with the White House, and were eager to find out if Biden meant what he'd said—that is, if the mission was now a go. The source recalled, “Bill Burns comes back and says, ‘Do it.’”
On September 7, 2022 Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Nord Stream II pipeline could be reopened "tomorrow" to alleviate Europe's impending winter heating fuel crisis.[47]
On September 26, 2022, a NATO P8 surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight and made a dropped over the pipelines. Three of the four pipelines were put out of commission. Within a few minutes, pools of methane gas that remained in the shuttered pipelines could be seen spreading on the water's surface and the world learned that something irreversible had taken place. The detachment of US Navy ships led by the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge announced the completion of work in the area of the sabotaged pipelines. US ships in the Baltic Sea and were spotted heading to the Baltic Straits into the North Sea.
Asked at a press conference days later about the consequences of the worsening energy crisis in Western Europe, Blinken called destruction of the pipeline a "tremendous opportunity" for the United States.[49] President Putin said while speaking at Russia Energy Week in Moscow, “Those who benefit the most from the damage caused to the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea are the ones responsible for it...Everybody understands who is behind this and who is the beneficiary...One can now force the liquefied natural gas from the United States on to European countries on a much larger scale."[50] Politico reported that French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told the French National Assembly, "We must not allow the conflict in Ukraine to result in American economic domination and a weakening of Europe...We cannot accept that our American partner sells its LNG at four times the price at which it sells it to its own companies."[51]
Victoria Nuland expressed satisfaction at the demise of the pipelines while testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in January 2023.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov remarked, “The United States decided that we have been cooperating too well with Germany over the past 20 or 30 years; or rather, the Germans cooperated with us too well...The powerful alliance based on Russian energy resources and German technology began to threaten the monopoly position of many American corporations...So, Washington decided to destroy this alliance between Moscow and Berlin, and did it literally by attacking the pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Europe through Germany.”
Turkstream
The FSB announced on September 22, 2022, that it foiled an attempted terrorist attack by Russian nationals on the US/NATO/Kyiv payroll to blow up one the TurkStream natural gas pipeline from Russia to Turkiye.[52] On October 13, 2022, a second group of saboteurs were arrested in Russia for attempting to blow up the pipeline in a second failed attempt.[53]
Moscow claimed the US is actively waging a hybrid war of terror against its own NATO ally, Turkiye, as evidenced by its role in orchestrating the YPG-PKK's recent terrorist attack in Istanbul, and the second foiled attempt since September using proxies to sabotage the TurkStream pipeline. These asymmetrical acts of aggression were carried out for the purpose of punishing President Erdogan for his rising multipolar independent foreign policy and refusal to participate in sanctions.[54]
Kerch Strait bridge
The Grayzone obtained an April 2022 documents entitled, AUDACIOUS: Support for Ukraine Maritime Raiding Operations,[56] drawn up for senior British intelligence officers hashing out an elaborate scheme to blow up Crimea's Kerch Bridge with the involvement of specially trained Ukrainian soldiers.[57]
In August 2022 Zelensky aid Mykhailo Podolyak told the Guardian there could be more attacks in the “next two or three months” similar to strikes on a railway junction and an airbase in Crimea, as well as a hit on Russian warplanes at Crimea's Saky aerodrome. Podolyak told the Guardian that the Kerch Strait bridge linking Crimea with the Russian mainland was a target. “It’s an illegal construction and the main gateway to supply the Russian army in Crimea. Such objects should be destroyed,” he said.[58] On August 18, 2022, the Russians reported shooting down surveillance drones over the Kerch Strait bridge.
Podolyak took credit for the terrorist attack and destruction of civilian infrastructure: "Crimea, the bridge, the beginning. Everything illegal must be destroyed, everything stolen must be returned to Ukraine, everything occupied by Russia must be expelled."[59] The Washington Post reported that the Security Service of Ukrainian (SBU) were behind the terrorist attack.[60][61] The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) determined that Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian military intelligence, was the chief organizer on the Ukrainian end.[62] Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba confirmed that the Kyiv regime was behind the terrorist attack.[63][64] The Ukrainian Post Office issued a commemorative stamp to honor the terrorist attack.[65] The attack was an act of state-sponsored terrorism by the government of Ukraine with U.S. taxpayer money.
On July 17, 2023 NATO again attacked the Kerch Strait bridge, this time using two underwater drones supplied by the United Kingdom that were launched from civilian vessels. The attack was coordinated and guided by American ISR vehicles. Two civilians, a husband and wife, were killed in the attack. Their 14-year-old daughter was severely injured.
Zaporozhye nuclear power plant
- See also: Zaporozhye nuclear power plant
On July 12, 2022, the AFU targeted the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) located in the town of Energodar. Russian forces have been in control of the plant, with Ukrainian technicians still operating it, since February 2022. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors and provided 20% of all electricity for the former territory of Ukraine. The attack was complex, involving drone and artillery fire. The Ukrainian Army used six kamikaze drones conducting reconnaissance mission over the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the city heating and water supply plant in Energodar. The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) dropped two mines near the power plant, which reportedly did not cause any significant damage. Another drone was heading in the direction of residential buildings in Energodar, its course may have been corrected. The UAV attack was thwarted, none of the six drones reached their targets, and the air defense of the Zaporozhye region successfully prevented the attack. The Ukrainians earlier launched a false flag attack against the plant in March 2022.
On July 18, 2022, Ukraine again attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this time with three kamikaze drones.[68][69]
Beginning on August 5, 2022, the 44th brigade of the AFU stationed in Nikopol, 18 kilometers across the Dnieper River, increased shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant with US M777 Howitzers. Kiev forces used a British-made Brimstone missile in one of the attacks. The situation was compounded by HIMAR attacks on the hydroelectric plant at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which provides electricity for the nuclear plant's vital cooling system. The political motive for shelling a nuclear power is reported to be motivated by upcoming referendums in September 2022 for the former Ukrainian oblasts of Zaporozhye and Kherson to join the Russian Federation. The Kyiv regime is attempting to intimidate the local population. Russia asked the Atomic Energy Commission to look into the matter. Sources on the scene familiar with the matter claimed Zelensky's shelling of the nuclear power plant was an effort to blackmail the Western powers for more military aid and financial support.[70]
By August 19, 2022, the town of Ugledar (Ukr: Vuhledar, pop. 15,000) came under Russian operational tactical encirclement, opening the door for operations behind the entire AFU Zaporozhye line.
On August 26, 2022, on the ground reports appeared of Zelensky ordering 1,000 Ukrainian troops with radiological protective gear to the Dnieper River across from the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.[71]
On August 29, 2022, Ukrainian artillery fire began targeting a storage facility for nuclear waste.
At about 6 AM Moscow time on September 1, 2022, Ukrainian troops freshly trained in the United Kingdom landed on the coast of the reservoir three kilometers northeast of the Zororozhye nuclear power plant in two sabotage groups of 64 people in seven boats and attempted to seize the power plant, according to the Russian defense ministry. The provocation was aimed at disrupting the arrival of the IAEA working group at the Zororozhye nuclear power plant. Four Ukrainian shells exploded during the shelling at a distance of 400 meters from the first power unit of the Zororozhye power plant.
Russian intelligence was fully aware of the plans and had monitored the commandos from the time they left their training in the UK and crossed from Poland into Ukraine.
On September 2, 2022, a US-made Switchblade loitering drone crashed near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
On September 25, 2022, the Kiev regime again attacked the Zaporozhye NPP. Eight U.S. kamikaze UAVs targeted the station, but all were shot down by Russian forces. About 60 shells were also fired at the city of Energodar.
On October 16, 2022, NATO/Ukrainian forces attempted their fourth amphibious landing assault across the Dnieper river to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear plant. The Russian army destroyed the Ukrainian landing force, which was trying to carry out the attack on barges and speedboats.[72]
At 4AM local time on October 19, 2022, NATO/Ukraine lost another 90 soldiers and 14 boats in another failed amphibious assault on the Zaporozhye power plant with 37 boats. NATO/Ukraine forces struck the city center of Energodar with HIMARS.
On October 30, 2022, NATO attempted another amphibious landing to take the nuclear power plant. 60 men were killed in the failed attempt.[73]
On November 20, 2022, the Zelensky regime resumed shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear plant, this time hitting a radiation storage facility.[74]
In late spring 2023 disturbing signs that Ukraine was going to manufacture a false flag nuclear incident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (ZNPP) and blame on Russia in the hopes that it would create a predicate to activate NATO Article 5 and bring NATO troops into the battle:
"A special aircraft WC-135R Constant Phoenix of the US Air Force was deployed on June 30, 2023 to the Chania airbase in Crete. It is from this base that RQ-4B Global Hawk reconnaissance UAVs and RC-135W Rivet Joint aircraft fly to the Black Sea region. WC-135R is designed to collect information about radioactive radiation and control nuclear tests. The rarest visit of a special board may be connected with the preparation of a nuclear catastrophe by Kiev at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant."[75] |

Kyiv regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky suggested to world leaders at the Munich Summit on February 9, 2022, two weeks before the Russian incursion, that Ukraine obtain nuclear weapons.[76] Reports already indicated that the Zelensky regime was building, or had built, a dirty bomb.[77]
In March 2022 Russia accused Ukraine of gathering nuclear waste from the Chernobyl disaster site for use in a nuclear dirty bomb.[78]
On October 19, 2022, UK defense minister Ben Wallace cancelled all his appointments and flew to Washington, D.C. unannounced to discuss an important matter face-to-face with Biden defense chief Lloyd Austin. Wallace stated that communications had been compromised and that the matter could not be discussed over NATO's regular secure electronic communications system. Neither Washington or the UK defense ministry issued a press release on the substance of the discussions. On October 21, Lloyd Austin called Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu and the two held their first phone meeting since May 2022. According to the Russian Defense Ministry read out of the call, the two "discussed issues of international security, including the situation in Ukraine."
On October 23, 2022, at 1:30 PM Moscow time it was reported that Russian defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his French counterpart his concerns about possible provocations by Ukraine with the use of a nuclear dirty bomb. At 2:46 PM local time another update from the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Russian Federation reported that defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his Turkish counterpart his concerns about a possible provocation with the use of a dirty bomb. At 5 PM local time there was a third conversation between the Russian defense minister and the minister of defense of the United Kingdom about the possible provocation by Ukraine with a dirty nuclear bomb. At 6:30 PM local time there was a final conversation between Shoigu and the Biden minister defense.
Russian media reported that according to credible sources in various countries - including in Ukraine - the Kyiv regime is preparing a provocation on its territory related to the detonation of the so-called "dirty bomb" or low-yield nuclear weapon. The purpose of the provocation is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction.[79] According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been in contact with the UK "to obtain nuclear weapons technology," Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces said on October 23, 2022. Gen. Kirillov alleged that the Ukrainian Armed Forces plan on using a false flag provocation to detonate a "dirty bomb," a nuclear weapon with explosives, such as dynamite, with radioactive powder or pellets. The provocation was being prepared to subsequently accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction. "We have information about the contacts of the office of the President of Ukraine with representatives of Great Britain regarding the possibility to obtain a technology to build nuclear weapons,” Gen. Kirillov said.[80] The Kyiv regime began evacuating the city of Mykolaiv (Russ: Nikolaev),[81] which is likely ground zero as the Ukrainian regime's nuclear target.[82] A military expert on the Russian television program, Meeting Places said that the AFU already brought to Nikolaev a thermonuclear munition and will be ready to blow it up to provoke a US strike on Russia.[83] The device would consist of several used fuel rods from a Ukrainian nuclear power plant and up to 1000 tons of explosive.[84]
On October 24, 2022, the Russian Federation called for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Ukraine's dirty bomb.[85][86]
Obama defense minister Ashton Carter, who over saw the Maidan coup in 2014 and was an advocate of a first strike on Russia, was found dead on October 25, 2022.
On October 26, 2022, President Putin held a working meeting, via videoconference, with the permanent members of the Security Council of Russia. President Putin noted in that meeting:
"Some countries have long been using the tactics of blackmail, pressure and intimidation throughout the CIS space. In particular, attempts continue to be made to implement ‘color revolution’ scenarios, methods involving nationalism and extremism are employed, and armed conflicts, which directly threaten the security of all CIS members, are being stoked.
We can see the goals of those who are doing this in Ukraine, which has been made an instrument of US foreign policy. The country has actually lost its sovereignty and is being directly governed by the United States, which is using it as a battering ram against Russia, Belarus, which is a member of our Union State, and the CSTO and the CIS in general. At the same time, we can see the United States’ real attitude to its client states. Ukraine was almost immediately turned into a testing site for military biological experiments and is being flooded with weapons, including heavy weaponry, without any heed to the Kiev regime’s statements about its desire to obtain nuclear weapons. The Kiev authorities have declared this desire publicly, but everyone keeps silent. We also know about their plans to use a so-called “dirty bomb” as a provocation.[87] |
The same day Minister Shoigu shared evidence with Chinese Minister of National Defence Wei Fenghe and India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.[88]
On November 19, 2022, the Ukrainian regime ordered an evacuation of Nikolaev.[89]
Nova Kakhovka dam
- See also: Nova Kakhovka dam
An anonymous team of hackers “Joker DPR” published a batch of secret NATO documents which they retrieved after hacking the notorious US DELTA military command and control system. The documents confirmed that the Kakhovka dam was targeted.[90] The satellite imagery of the dam was provided by the US intelligence. Destruction of the dam would endanger the lives of 250,000 civilians below the dam, mostly in the city of Kherson.
On July 11, 2022, seven civilians were killed with missiles fired by U.S.-supplied HIMAR launchers in the town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson Republic.[91] More than 80 others were injured, including at least 15 children. A fertilizer warehouse with potassium nitrate was attacked. Food supplies were also destroyed. More than 1,800 employees of industrial and commercial institutions lost their jobs as a result of the attack, and 37 residential homes were destroyed. The AFU attack was coordinated with the US military. The American satellite Worldview-2 filmed Nova Kakhovka three days before the strike. On July 20 the Ukrainians launched 12 HIMAR missiles attempting to knock out the Nova Kakhovka Dam railway bridge.
Beginning on August 5, 2022, the 44th brigade of the AFU stationed in Nikopol, 18 kilometers across the Dnieper River, increased shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant with US M777 Howitzers. Kiev forces used a British-made Brimstone missile in one of the attacks. The situation was compounded by HIMAR attacks on the hydroelectric plant at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which provides electricity for the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant's vital cooling system. On August 22 Ukrainian forces continued bombing attacks on the Nova Kakhovka dam.
On October 18, 2022, the AFU/NATO launched a US-made High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) and hit the Energia stadium in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region, killing two civilians and injuring others. In a late-night TV address a Kherson official called for people to "evacuate the city as quickly as possible" and said Ukraine "will begin an offensive on the city of Kherson very soon."[92] Approximately 50,000-60,000 civilians were being ferried across the Dnieper river. Russian Commander of the Integrated Group of Forces in Ukraine Army General Sergey Surovikin told reporters, "The NATO command of the armed forces of Ukraine has long been demanding offensive operations in the Kherson direction from the Kiev regime, regardless of any casualties – both in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and among the civilian population. The Russian military is aware of Kiev’s plans to use “prohibited” means of waging war in the Kherson area, and Ukraine is preparing a massive strike on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, located on the Dnieper River, as well as launching massive rocket and artillery attacks on Kherson itself."
A Russian computer simulation anticipated the effects of NATO/Ukraine's planned destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam across the Dnieper river on the city of Kherson and surrounding environs all the way to the river's mouth on the Black Sea. The territory is the home of some 300,000 civilians. The simulation anticipated a rise in the river's level of 1.5 meters, with a cresting wave of 4.5 meters. The water would take at least 3 days to recede during which time the NATO/Ukrainian offensive toward what was formally the city of Kherson would commence.[93]

On November 9, 2022, Gen. Sergey Surovikin announced, with the approval of Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, the withdrawal of Russian forces from the west bank of Dnieper river to include the city of Kherson. More than 115,000 civilians had been evacuated from the city and surrounding territories in recent weeks. The general pointed to continued Ukrainian attacks on the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam on the Dnieper river, arguing that it could mean the total devastation of the city and isolation of Russian troops in the region. “If the Kiev regime … launches an even more devastating attack on the Kakhovskaya dam, a flow of water could arise that would flood large areas, causing significant civilian casualties." This, according to the commander, “would create further threats for civilians and risk total isolation of our force grouping on the right bank of the Dnieper.” A pullout would help avoid the worst-case scenario and also keep the combat effectiveness of the force grouping in the area, Surovikin said. "This is a very difficult decision. Yet, we would be able to preserve the most important thing: the lives of our soldiers." Minister Shoigu ordered the general to organize secure relocation for both soldiers and civilians. With the HIMAR systems being under American control,[95] Biden National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan negotiated a deal with his Russian counterparts, Nikolai Patrushev and Yuri Ushakov, to allow for the withdrawal of Russian forces without being fired upon.[96] By November 11, 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the evacuation had been completed successfully.
The Washington Post reported former commander of the Kherson counteroffensive Major General Andrey Kovalchuk admitting to planning this shocking war crime against civilian infrastructure:
"Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.”[97] |
Nuclear exercises
As tensions rose after the NATO terror attacks on the Nordstream pipelines, the Kerch Strait bridge, and the Zaporozhye and Kursk nuclear power plants, NATO conducted a joint nuclear mission "exercise" entitled "Steadfast Noon" on the Russian border with its non-nuclear partners.[98] French President Emmanuel Macron was remonstrated by his NATO partners for publicly declaring thaat France would not use nuclear weapons in a conflict with Russia.[99] Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to NATO's joint nuclear exercise:
"Regardless of whether the NATO exercises mentioned in the question are linked by their organizers to current events or not, we continue to see in them a destabilizing component related to the very essence of NATO's practice of "joint nuclear missions."
We consistently point out that the involvement of aviation and military personnel of the non-nuclear countries of the North Atlantic bloc in developing the skills to use US nuclear weapons deployed in Europe is contrary to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and also creates obvious risks for Russia's security. This practice must be stopped, and all US nuclear weapons returned to their national territory with the destruction of the infrastructure for their operational deployment abroad. In this context, the Western media have no reason to talk about Russia holding "similar" exercises. We don't do those. All Russian nuclear weapons are located exclusively within the national territory, and non-strategic nuclear weapons are stored, moreover, exclusively in a non-deployed state in centralized warehouses. [...] Russia has repeatedly pointed to the presence of American nuclear weapons on the territory of non-nuclear member states of the alliance and the involvement of these countries in practical scenarios for their use. US nuclear weapons deployed in Europe, capable of reaching Russian territory and hitting, including strategic facilities poses a direct and constant threat to us. Such actions are a flagrant violation of the letter and spirit of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), hinder disarmament efforts and greatly increase the risks of nuclear conflict. [...] As I said, all Russian non-strategic nuclear weapons, the number of which has been reduced by four times from the level that our country had in 1991, have been transferred to the category of non-deployed and concentrated in central storage bases within national territories. As for the direct support of the Kyiv regime by Western countries, they do not hide this fact. On the contrary, they are proud. The task is directly set to prolong the hostilities as much as possible, despite the casualties and destruction. They say they want the defeat of our country. Such a line emphasizes their involvement in events. This cannot but affect the situation in the field of arms control. The ongoing deep crisis can be overcome only when the representatives of the Western elites come to understand that security, in particular on our continent, is impossible without the security of Russia and its allies.[100] |
On October 28, 2022, the Russian Federation conducted its own nuclear exercises, notifying the United States of test firing missiles in advance, in accordance with previous understandings and agreements. On November 11, 2022 The New Voice of Ukraine reported that Finland and Sweden will not allow a NATO nuclear attack on Russia from their territory.[101]
NATO propaganda war
Since February 2022 Western experts predicted that Russia would run short of missiles. On March 27, 2022, French military analyst Michel Goya estimated Russia's stockpile at 1,500 missiles, yet in early August 2022 Reuters reported that Russia had fired more than 3,650 missiles and rockets, more than double those of Western estimates. On October 18, 2022, Politico said Russia is running short of long-range missiles, according to Western officials.[102] Less than a month later, according to the neocon Institute of the Study of War, Russian forces conducted the largest missile strike since the beginning of the campaign in February.[103] The same day, the Kyiv Post headlined, Missile shortage hampers further Russian strikes.[104] Two days later on November 17 Russia launched yet another wave of five airstrikes and 25 cruise missiles on Ukrainian infrastructure facilities on top of the strikes fired on a daily basis. Mark Cancian, a former Marine and White House weapon strategist said, "Few, if any Western officials, have a clear count of the status of Russia's arsenal, or know precisely how many missiles remain in its stockpile."[105]
On November 21, 2022, days after the Ukrainian false flag attack on Poland attempting to nudge NATO toward declaring an Article 5 attack on a NATO member by Russia, Zelensky claimed that Russia had fired more than 4,700 missiles since February.[106] This is more than three times what NATO experts and propagandists claimed.
The official NATO Twitter account posted a message comparing the Ukraine conflict to famous fantasy films such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, Braveheart, and more. The tweet read:
"We are Harry Potter and William Wallace, the Na’vi and Han Solo. We’re escaping from Shawshank and blowing up the Death Star. We are fighting with the Harkonnens and challenging Thanos.[107] |
Ukraine missile attack on Poland
On November 15, 2022, two Ukrainian S-300 missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian cruise missile, were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians. The Polish government, Ukrainian government, the Associated Press,[109] most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5.[110] Zelensky advisor Mykhailo Podolyak declared that the strikes came from Russia. Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed Russian denials were a conspiracy theory and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages."[111] Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky on a video call to G20 summit leaders meeting in Indonesia told them that the attack was deliberate by Russia and that the missiles were a “true statement brought by Russia for the G20 summit.”[112] Zelensky tweeted to the world that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant escalation” of the conflict.[113]
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR aircraft (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the Kyiv regime had launched the missiles. That did not prevent an anonymous "senior U.S. intelligence official" from reporting to the Associated Press that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland.[114] The fake news story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its CIA counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.
When called out on the lies, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down. Both socialist premier Joe Biden and NATO chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg blamed Ukraine for the attack. Zelensky refuted the Western leaders' statements that the missile which killed two innocent civilians in Poland was Ukrainian. "I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike."[115] Zelensky insisted that he received reports from the corrupt Armed Forces of Ukraine command that told him "the missile attacks did not come from Ukraine", he told the people in a live nationwide address on Ukrainian state-controlled media.[116] The Russophobic Financial Times of London quoted a diplomat from a NATO country in Kyiv saying: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.”[117]
Targeted assassination attempt on former Russian Ambassador to NATO
Dmitry Rogozin is the former Russian Ambassador to NATO, deputy prime minister in charge of the defense industry, and head of the Russian space agency Roskosmos.[118] In early 2022, along with dozens of Russian officials, he volunteered to join the Russian intervention in the Ukrainian civil conflict. He has since led the “Tsar Wolves”, a volunteer unit which consists of experienced military advisers and experts with rich combat experience. Its main task is military-technical support for the military units of the DPR and LPR.
Rogozin was gravely wounded in Donetsk on December 21, 2022, in a salvo of precision artillery strikes by the Kiev regime, an obvious targeted assassination attack, on the hotel where he was briefly staying, in the midst of a dinner celebrating his 59th birthday. The strike also killed two friends and colleagues, with several others wounded, including the prime minister of the Donetsk People's Republic, Vitaly Khotsenko.
The former space boss suffered a concussion and was wounded in the right shoulder with shrapnel which landed “a millimeter” away from his spine. The shrapnel removed from his back in a delicate operation by surgeons proved to be from a NATO 155mm shell fired from a French Caesar Howitzer.
Rogozin later sent a letter along with the shrapnel fragment removed from his own spine to the French envoy Pierre Levy in Moscow, to be passed on to the French President Emmanuel Macron. He also posted the contents of the message to Macron on social media. It reads,
TO THE AMBASSADOR EXTRAORDINARY AND PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Mr PIERRE LEVY,
Your Excellency Mr. Ambassador! I recall with pleasure my conversations with you on joint trips to the Borodino field and Baikonur. At that time we discussed a lot and often the prospects for Russian-French political and economic cooperation. Unfortunately, the position of your country and the NATO countries on growing a military threat to Russia near our borders has led to a tragic denouement. The words and deeds of France miraculously diverged diametrically. Official Paris betrayed the cause of the great de Gaulle and became one of the most bloodthirsty states in Europe. Your country has submitted to the dictates of Washington and has become a puppet state in the style of the Vichy government, serving the basest instincts of the Nazis. I am writing about this with pain, because I have always loved French history, I know the language and culture of France, and I honor the memory of the glorious deeds when the Russians and the French fought together against common threats. Recently, as a result of a vile terrorist act in Donetsk, I was seriously injured. It is only thanks to the great skill and patience of Russian military and civilian doctors that I am alive and almost healthy again. In this envelope, along with my letter, you see a fragment from a shell fired by the French 155-mm Caesar self-propelled artillery mount. It pierced my right shoulder and stuck in the fifth cervical vertebrae, just a millimeter away from killing me or rendering me immobile. This French howitzer shell killed two of my young friends, leaving their wives as widows and their children as orphans. These guys accompanied us on a trip to Baikonur, you shook hands with them. Now they are killed by weapons supplied to Ukraine by your country. You probably know how many civilians were killed in Donetsk and the front-line cities of Novorossia by French weapons and French mercenaries. There are hundreds of people, including children. Mr. Ambassador, what is France doing, what are you doing in the conflict that Western politicians have kindled between the Slavic peoples? I hope you understand the measure of your personal responsibility for these murders! You are the extraordinary and plenipotentiary representative of the Fifth Republic, and you are responsible. And I ask you to hand over the fragment cut by surgeons from my spine to French President Emmanuel Macron. And also tell him that no one will escape responsibility for the war crimes of France, the US, Britain, Germany and other NATO countries in the Donbass. All our victims are on your conscience, as well as the appearance of fascist Ukraine on the map of Europe is also on your conscience. Accept, Mr. Ambassador, the assurances of my respect for your diplomatic status, but I am afraid that your mission has completely failed. |
The French foreign ministry had no comment on the letter and returned the shell fragment.
Rogozin vowed to return to the frontline as soon as his injuries allowed.
The Great Purge
In mid-January 2023 CIA director William Burns travelled to Kyiv for a secret meeting with Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky.[119] Prior to Burns arrival, the SBU and Department of the Interior had already put a bullet in the back of the head of Zelensky's top negotiator with Russia, Denys Kiryeyev. Shortly after Dir. Burns left Kyiv, on the morning of January 18, 2023 a helicopter crashed in the town of Brovary in the eastern outskirts of Kiev region, killing the entire leadership of the Department of the Interior. According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, killed in the crash were Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky; First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Enin; State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yuriy Lubkovich; Deputy Head of the Patronage Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Tatiana Shutyak; Head of the Department of Protection of the Department of Internal Security of the National Police of Ukraine, Colonel Mikhail Pavlushko; Lead Inspector of the Department of Communications Nikolay Anatsky; Senior Operative of the Department of Internal Security of the Police of Ukraine Andriy Marinchenko; helicopter commander Alexander Vasilenko; pilot Konstantin Kovalenko; and on-board mechanic Ivan Kasyanov.[120] The helicopter was a French built Eurocopter EC225 LP Super Puma or its equivalent. Witnesses said that the helicopter was spinning and burning in the air before crashing into a kindergarten.[121]
According to Hacker DPR Joker:
"The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine had long been aware that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense was trading Western arms, which came to Ukraine in the form of aid, for the benefit of third countries, and that this process was overseen directly by the head of the GUR, Budanov. By the way, this information has already surfaced somewhere.
The leadership of the Interior Ministry wanted their share and began collecting data through their structural units, which are associated with intelligence and surveillance. As a result, they managed to obtain evidence and began blackmailing. The military bosses promised a share to the police leadership, and the first tranche was paid. But it was pointless and unprofitable to pay any further. In addition, the insolence of the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had his head in the wrong place, was putting the military leadership under strain. And now the day had come when the kids from the GUR were able to demonstrate their skills. But that is not all. The sanction for this was given personally by Yermak, who is also in on the secret from the supreme narcissistic clown, Zelensky.[123] |
Money that had been sent by the U.S. Congress to prepare defensive lines on the front against an onslaught of newly mobilized Russian forces disappeared in mass corruption schemes. Subcontractors sold food and supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine at inflated prices while politicians received kickbacks.[124] Officials were not arrested, but rather allowed to flee the country with their looted millions after which their "resignation" was announced.
On February 26, 2023, it was reported that Zelensky fired Major General Eduard Moskalyov, Commander Joint Forces of Ukraine with no reason given.[125] Moskalyov was said to be the fall guy for Zelensky's disastrous leadership and decision to keep feeding human lives into the Bakhmut meatgrinder when he knew all was lost.
Nuclear plants as ammo dumps
Russian SVR director Sergey Naryshkin stated in January 2023,
"There is credible information that Ukrainian troops are stockpiling the Western-supplied weapons and ammunition on the territory of nuclear power plants...Several cars loaded with lethal cargo were delivered by rail to the Rovno Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine during the last week of December [2022] alone...They rely on the calculation that the Russian Armed Forces would not strike nuclear power plants because they realize the danger of a nuclear disaster...And if another Ukrainian anti-air missile ‘veers off course’, causing large-scale detonation of the stockpiles and the destruction of the nuclear power plant, the tragedy could always be blamed on Moscow."[126] |
NATO Nazism
In January 2023, after pressure from the United States, Germany agreed to send 14 Leopard 2[128] and 88 Leopard 1[129] tanks to Ukraine. 14/88, according to the Anti-Defamation League is the combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the 14 word slogan, "We must secure the existence of our people and the future for white children." The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler," "H" being the eighth letter of the alphabet. Together the numbers form a general endorsement of white supremacy and its beliefs. As such, they are ubiquitous within the white supremacist movement as graffiti, graphics, and tattoos, even in screen names and email addresses, and now in the quantities of tanks Germany is sending to Ukraine.[130]
The Federal Republic of Germany, the successor regime of Nazi Germany, is sending 14 and 88 of two different models of its Leopard tank to Ukraine. Ukraine's military, which includes a significant component of actual Nazis will use the tanks on the battlefield against Russia. Analysts noted that the NATO powers understand full well the significance of 1488, and Germany even has laws against open display of any sort of Nazi symbols.[131] NATO could have added or subtracted one tank. For this reason, Russia is unlikely to negotiate with the current Western leadership or stop its special operation until its Denazification process is completed.[132]
Response to NATO interference: partial mobilization
In a morning television address to the nation on September 21, 2022, address, Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization of military reserves:
"In this situation, I consider it necessary to take the following decisions, they are fully adequate to the threats we face. Namely: to protect our Motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, to ensure the security of our people and people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff on conducting partial mobilization in the Russian Federation....Only citizens who are currently in the reserve and, above all, those who served in the ranks of the Armed Forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience will be subject to conscription for military service. Those called up for military service before being sent to the units will necessarily undergo additional military training taking into account the experience of a special military operation. |
Additionally all military service contracts currently in force (usually 3 to 12 months) were extended indefinitely. All soldiers serving at the front were to receive the same pay contract soldiers receive, including prisoners recruited out of prisons in exchange for a for a full pardon. The pay was 195,000 rubles per month (about $3,750 at current exchange rates). Putin said that the current conflict was instigated by the West, noting that the Western countries seek the destruction and disintegration of Russia. He said that the West had been supporting international terrorists, promoted the infrastructure of the NATO offensive close to Russia's borders and fostered Russophobia.
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said:
"In reality, we are fighting the collective West plus NATO. When we speak about it, we mean not only the weapons being supplied [to Kiev] in huge batches, but also about systems of communication and information processing systems. |
The Western states as well as NATO, Shoigu said, are supplying Kiev with "huge" amounts of weapons. Shoigu said that 300,000 reservist will be mobilized. People who served in the past 10 years, or with combat experience in the Syrian war, Africa, Georgia or Chechen wars will be given preference.[133] Conscripts and people currently in post-secondary education will not be sent to Ukraine. He also said that, so far, 5,937 Russian soldiers have died during the war in Ukraine. (This number does not include the militia of the DPR and LPR, or the Wagner group, who have done most of the frontline work and thus have had higher losses.) Shoigu puts Ukrainian losses at some 62,000 killed and some 50,000 wounded.[134] Russia's total military reserve, people who have previously gone through military training, is 25 million.[135] It also has the equipment to arm those forces. Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev was put in full command of the special operation and his predecessor General Dmitry Bulgakov was moved to chief of staff of Logistics in charge of the supply of Russian troops stationed in Syria.
Chechnen head of the Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, claimed that the mobilization in the region already “exceeded by 254%”, even before the announcement of partial mobilization." Kadyrov added, there is a reserve of thousands of volunteers in Chechnya, “who, if necessary, will be able to join the ranks of defenders of Russia.”
Belarus also announced that it is in the process of getting ready for war. Belarus could, as it had threatened before, cut of the supply lines from Poland, NATO, and the West into the western part of Ukraine.
Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky told CBS News on Face the Nation, "I don't think Putin is bluffing."[136]
U.S. analyst Scott Ritter observed:
"The U.S. and its allies in the “collective West” now have to decide if the continued pursuit of a decades-long policy of isolating and destroying Russia is a matter of existential importance to them, and if the continued support of a Ukrainian government that is little more than the modern-day manifestation of the hateful ideology of Stepan Bandera is worth the lives of their respective citizenry, and that of the rest of the world."[137] |
Winter campaign
Approximately 202,000 Ukrainian men received draft notices in roughly the first 26 days of January 2023 in the Zelensky regime's ninth mobilization. Of 202,000 who received notices, 113,000 did not show up. Of the 89,000 who showed up, 7,000 still were rejected for various reasons. Thus, 82,000 were sent to training, or 40.6 percent of all who received draft notices.
On March 10, 2023, reports indicate two Kinzhal missiles hit NATO's Western Command Center near Lvov 80 meters underground, killing 40 high ranking foreign specialists. The bunker was a NATO strategic command point used to control anti-aircraft systems.[138] Immediately following that, on March 12 the US sent an extremely provocative message by simulating a nuclear bombing run on St. Petersburg when they sent a B-52 bomber directly towards the city in an unprecedented maneuver.[139] On March 23, 2023, S-400 were reported to have been deployed in Kaliningrad.[140]
Surovikin sledgehammer
On November 28, 2022, Russian troops went back on the offensive in several directions. To the southwest of Lysychansk, the village of Spirne remains one of the heaviest areas of the Donbas front. The Ukrainian command did not abandon its attempts to break through the Russian defenses in order to block the crossing through the Seversky Donets River and surround the city of Severodonetsk from the south. Units of the People's Militia of the LPR broke through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and entered the village of Spirne. A a group of Ukrainian saboteurs comprised of 17 servicemen was destroyed during the Russian assault in the village.
Ukrainian units launched a series of counterattacks on the villages along the Soledar-Lysychansk highway. Russian forces repelled enemy offensive attempts in the Yakovlevka and Berestovoye areas. Russian units continued to storm Soledar. The offensive of the Wagner Group continued in Bakhmut and on its outskirts, where the Ukrainian group risks being surrounded. A section of the railway line was cut.
Ukrainian units again attempted a counteroffensive in the area of Opytnoe on the southern outskirts of Bakhmut. The Wagner fighters repelled the attack, forcing the enemy to retreat with losses. Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut, which are a mixture of various units, including groups of foreign mercenaries, suffered heavy losses. According to Ukrainian and Western sources, the Ukrainian Army is losing hundreds of fighters killed and wounded every day. Troops from other units are arriving to plug the holes in the defense lines.
In Mariinka, Russian infantry continued to storm the city with the active support of tactical aviation.
In the Kupyansk region, Ukrainian forces continued their attempts to break through towards Svatovo but failed and retreated, suffering heavy losses.
The AFU lost 100 soldiers and 13 armored vehicles in artillery strikes near Nikopol as it was attempting to redeploy from the Kherson front.
On December 18, 2022, Mariinka to the southwest of the city of Donetsk fell to the Russians. Marriinka lies on front line between Ugledar to the south and Avdiivka to the northwest of the city of Donetsk, and has been an AFU stronghold since 2014 which the Kyiv regime has used for artillery shelling the civilians of Donetsk. Russia's new main battle tank, the T-90, started seeing action on the Donbas front.
By February 16, 2023, reports appeared that the Russian Federation had prepared 1,800 tanks, 3,950 armored vehicles, 2,700 artillery systems, 810 Soviet-era self-propelled guns, such as Grad and Smerch, 400 fighter jets, and 300 helicopters for the upcoming massive attack on Ukraine.
On March 1, 2023, the Russian MOD reported that the Ukrainians lost 80 soldiers.
NATO/Ukraine nukes itself
On January 25, 2023, Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, warned:
“We know that Leopard 2 tanks, as well as Bradley and Marder armored fighting vehicles, can use depleted uranium shells, which can contaminate terrain, just like it happened in Yugoslavia and Iraq...If Kiev were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in western heavy military hardware, we would regard it as the use of ‘dirty nuclear bombs’ against Russia, with all the consequences that entails.” |
Depleted uranium is a very dense metal, ideal to be used on projectiles because of its mass, and also because it ignites at around 600 degrees Celsius; it can penetrate an armoured vehicle and incinerate the crew once it enters the cabin. As a block or a projectile, the material can be handled with no health consequences, but when it ignites or explodes, it's turned into dust, then, it can be inhaled or ingested by live creatures and it wreaks havoc in the internal organs, creating a very large number of cancerous lesions and genetic malformations.[142] That is why it is considered a very dangerous polluting material, same as a dirty bomb.
The use of depleted uranium shells was developed by the United States in the 1980s. The Russian military made the decision at that time not to follow suit and compete by developing depleted uranium as a battlefield weapon because of its long lasting environmental and health effects. Existing tactical nuclear weapons were considered a sufficient deterrent to what is essentially a nuclear dirty bomb used by NATO and the United States.
On March 20, 2023, Annabel Goldie, the British Minister of State for Defence, declared that her country would provide depleted uranium munitions to the Kyiv regime.[143] In response, President Vladimir Putin reported on March 25 that the decision had been made to deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on the territory of Belarus by July 1, 2023, to reduce flight time against NATO aggressors. Reduced flight time, if even by a few seconds, is an important consideration in the age of modern missile defense.
On May 2, 2023, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., tied for the lead in the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination,[144] warned:
"In another reckless escalation, Britain has confirmed delivery of depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine. DU munitions should be banned. They partially vaporize on impact, poisoning the environment with uranium dust that causes cancer and horrific birth defects."[145] |
On May 13, 2023, a series of explosions at the Khmelnytsky ammunition storage depot in western Ukraine led to a significant increase in gamma radiation levels,[146] suggesting the release of depleted uranium dust into the air posing severe risk to public health. The resultant fire was remotely extinguished by robots. Depleted uranium munitions, while typically emitting minimal gamma radiation, are known to pose risks when a large stockpile is destroyed, as in the Khmelnytsky incident.
The effects of gamma radiation can be particularly detrimental to cellular structures and DNA/RNA molecules, with an extended range of damage in fluids such as gas or liquid. The British Department of Defense (DoD) confirmed that it provided depleted-uranium tank rounds to the Ukrainian armed forces. Reports indicate that the detonated warehouse in Khmelnytsky contained a substantial quantity of depleted uranium shells, causing alarm among locals and prompting residents to evacuate nearby areas. Yuri Kot, a political scientist, has stated that his sources confirm the presence of a large stockpile of depleted uranium shells in the destroyed Khmelnytsky warehouse.
Following the explosions, gamma radiation levels in Khmelnytsky have rose steadily. This surge is particularly concerning as depleted uranium typically emits only a low dose of gamma radiation, suggesting the destruction of a significant quantity of munitions and the release of uranium dust into the surrounding environment.
Dosimetric patrols in the city conducted radiation background measurements in uncharacteristic locations. Previous measurements were concentrated around the Khmelnytsky Nuclear Power Plant but were expanded to cover the regional center, western regions of the area, and Ternopil. The prevailing wind direction, blowing northwest at the time of the explosions, raised concerns about the spread of radioactive particles to Warsaw, Berlin, and Prague.[147]
Residents were in a panic and began gathering their belongings and leaving the affected areas, including Khmelnytsky, Lviv, and Ternopil.[148]
Destruction of the Patriot Missile system
On May 17, 2023 Rybar reported that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed at least one launcher of the US Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in Kyiv.[150] Rybar's team managed to establish the exact location of the anti-aircraft battery. In total, there were three launchers in the positional area at the Zhuliany airport, where the Kinzal hit. Coordinates: 50.404161, 30.443186.
Another place where the work of the Ukrainian air defense was noticed was the vicinity of the Kyiv zoo, where the fragments of the fired missiles fell.[151] The complex itself worked in close proximity to the Kyiv Polytechnic University named after Sikorsky. Coordinates: 50.452699, 30.459805.
As for the Zhulyany airfield, footage from the surveillance camera got into the Network. In the video, you can clearly see the launches of 32 missiles (a total of 16 for each launcher),[152] as well as the work of barreled anti-aircraft artillery - apparently, the Patriots were covered by the a German built Gepard. The cost of each Patriot missile was reported as $5,275,000.[153][154]
After the ammunition load was used up, an explosion was heard: the Russian Kinzal managed to hit the positional area, despite Patriots and one Gepard.[155]
One was destroyed, the second was seriously damaged, but survived. The third launcher escaped damage.
Two installations stood side by side, and the third - behind the building. The Russian Kinzal flew between the installations, but closer to the first: there was a detonation of the fuel.
Pieces of the first installation and pieces of soil / asphalt riddled the second.
2023 Spring-Summer counteroffensive
- See also: 2023 Ukraine summer counteroffensive
The much touted Kyiv regime 'Spring Counteroffensive' didn't begin until June 4, 2023 - less than 2 and a half weeks before the arrival of summer. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu claimed Russian assessments of Ukrainian losses of men and material, including killed in action, come from radio intercept reports from the Ukrainian frontline. Ukraine lost 20,000 killed and 2,500 vehicles of all types in the first month of the counteroffensive. NATO/Ukrainian forces never even approached Russian first line of fortifications. Former chief propagandist (until he was fired for telling the truth about a Ukraine air defense missile hitting an apartment complex, killing civilians) Alexei Arestovich, who is also a former Lt. Col. in military intelligence, said the Russian defense fortifications needed to be breached in the first 10 days. In the first month NATO/Ukraine hadn't approached within 30 km of Russian front line fortifiactions. All the fighting occurred in the grey zone, also known as "crumple zones" or "No-Man's Land". Any claim that Ukraine "took back" territory was fake news as all the fighting was in crumple zones.[156] All Polish and Portuguese Leopard tanks were destroyed. Russian air defense intercepted 158 HIMARS missiles, 25 Storm Shadows cruise missiles, and 386 drones (UAV). A vaunted UK Storm Shadow Wunderwaffen was captured intact.
After 3 weeks of failed classical attacks that only led to mass loss of equipment, demoralization and retreats, Ukrainian commanders switched to small tactical groups of infantry, knowing that Russians are much more averse to manpower losses. When close combat becomes imminent, Russians retreat and let artillery work on Ukrainian infantry sitting on the abandoned positions, which usually ends with Ukrainians suffering losses and fleeing. These tactics led to massive infantry looses, but it was something Ukraine was willing to do - and it looked better in advance of the 2023 NATO Vilnius summit to take losses for small advances than for no success at all as happened at the start of the offensive.
Into the second month, as the Vilnius summit approached, Russian maintained a 4:1 kill ratio, with Ukraine losing up to 1,000 troops daily. Some Ukraine brigades refused to fight, claiming on social media that the Kyiv regime was sending them on suicide missions to be slaughtered. by July 11, 2023 an article in the Berliner Zeitung cited Alexander Sosnowski, using data from pro-Ukraine media channels determined that 41 Leopard-2s, 49 T72 tanks, 31 Bradleys, 7 German Marders, 23 howitzers, and 40 MRAP infantry fighting vehicles have already been turned to scrap by the Russians.[157]
Zaporozhe front
The Washington Post announced on June 8, 2023 Kyiv's much anticipated counteroffensive had commenced.[158] The counteroffensive actually began four days earlier, on June 4, 2023 - the four-day waiting period being typical of Western mainstream media censorship. However in this case it was nearly impossible to hide or lie about the wall of resistance and disastrous consequences of NATO/Ukraine's ill-conceived military planning and poorly executed operations.
The operation had no basic strategy, other than a massive PR stunt in advance of NATO's July 11, 2023 Summit in Vilnius where allegedly the future of NATO operations in Ukraine supposedly is to be decided.[159] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) reported,
"During the three days of combat operations in all directions Ukraine lost up to 3,715 men, 52 tanks and 207 armored combat vehicles, 134 trucks, 48 field artillery guns, as well as five aircraft, two helicopters and 53 drones...Russia’s losses were immeasurably smaller: Altogether 71 servicemen of the combined group of forces were killed and 210 others wounded while repulsing the enemy offensive...Fifteen tanks, nine infantry fighting vehicles, two trucks and nine guns were also taken out. |
On June 8 the MOD reported:
"The enemy was detected by reconnaissance forces in a timely manner, with preventive strikes launched by artillery, aviation and anti-tank weapons...Ukrainian forces have been stopped in their tracks in all four directions and retreated with heavy losses...During a two-hour battle, the enemy lost 30 tanks, 11 armored personnel carriers and up to 350 troops, with total Ukrainian personnel losses in the last 24 hours reaching almost 1,000 people." |
Videos emerged showing bodies of discarded Ukrainian soldiers scattered on the battlefield. A Russian kamikaze drone destroyed a $200 million German built IRIS-T SLM surface-to-air missile system.[160]
According to multiple credible sources, Russian electronic warfare capabilities southwest of Orekhovo involved one or more new systems not fielded previously, which took NATO/Ukraine side by surprise.[162] There was also a credible report that Russian electronic warfare went so far as to severely disturb Ukrainian access to GPS data. One Ukrainian soldier told the Financial Times, "What radio-electronic warfare? . . . We had none. I don’t even want to recall those days in the trenches. Our boys were falling like flies." Jack Watling of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) told the Financial Times, "The problem is that the Russians are able to field electronic warfare systems across most of the front, down to platoon level in some cases when you’re talking about things like Pole-21."[163]
The Asia Times quoted American and European observers in Ukraine describing the Ukraine Army’s efforts as a “suicide mission” that violated the basic rules of military tactics. “We tried to tell them to stop this piecemeal and suicidal tactic, identify the main attack with proper infantry support, and then do what they can,” a senior European officer said. In his opinion, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine run in five different directions. Also, the tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine went to the minefields, not letting the demining vehicles forward. This resulted in the loss of 38 tanks on the night of 8 June. One of the experts added that the Ukrainian military was trained in this in the UK. “ The Ukrainians were trying to play Guderian,” one of the military experts said , “only Guderian had 3,000 tanks, and these idiots just lost the 30 they had.”[164]
Russian soldiers on the frontline renamed the battlefield where the burnt-out husks of dozens of German Leopard 2 tanks and American Bradley Fighting Vehicles littered the countryside as "Bradley Square". In the first 10 days of the counteroffensive, Ukraine has lost over 160 tanks and over 360 armored vehicles.
UAV operators of the Russian 27th brigade filmed how the punitive blocking detachment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the BTR-4 "Bucephalus" destroyed their own fighters, who were doing an unauthorized retreat from their positions. The video showed the retreating soldiers were battered after heavy fighting, carrying wounded with them, but it didn't not stop the Nazi punishers from destroying the living and wounded of their fellow citizens.[165]
The crews of two Ukrainian BMP-1 infantry combat vehicles surrendered to Russian troops near Avdiivka. A member of a platoon in Ukraine’s 110th separate mechanized bridge radioed Russian troops, requesting medical assistance for their wounded soldiers after NATO commanders had declined to evacuate the unit. The Ukrainian officer asked for safe passage and said that the remainder of his units would surrender with all of their weapons, including two BMP-1s. The soldiers were taken into custody,[166] including some with serious injuries. The captured service members were receiving medical aid and were vetted for complicity in war crimes.[167]
By June 18, 2023, Day 14 of the AFU counteroffensive, NATO/Ukraine has suffered in excess of 14,000 soldiers killed with, again as like in Bakhmut, virtually nothing to show for the effort.
Kharkov front
In the Kharkov region it was reported in early June 2023 that NATO/Ukraine was preparing a large provocation by dressing the troops in Russian uniforms to create utmost chaos and panic. The reports indicated the NATO/Ukraine produced 1,200 sets of Russian-style military uniforms for the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces. The symbols, stripes, insignia, patterns, as well as the material were completely identical to their Russian counterparts. The kits were planned to be transferred to the following destinations: Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Zaporozhe. Among the kits were the uniform of the FSB, Rosgvardiya kits with the insignia of the Akhmat regiment, and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In the Kharkiv direction, there was a concentration of equipment previously captured in the battles with the Russian Federation. Wheeled trucks: "KAMAZ", "URAL", as well as a certain number of BTR-80. NATO/Ukraine was preparing to conduct sabotage operations. Another report stated that there were militants stationed in Kupyansk (up to 300 people), as well as up to two hundred people in the Pechenegs of the Kharkiv region. "All this gang will operate under the cover of the flag of Vyrusya from the RDK, the Ichkerian militants want to use the uniform of Rosgvradiya and Akhmat units. Moreover, the Russian uniform was made by order of the special services of Ukraine at the factories "Brevi" and "Ekotets-3" in the Poltava region." This report claimed that the infamous Sheikh Mansour “evil Chechens” battalion will be used while dressed in the uniforms of Russian Chechen Rosgvardia and Akhmat.
By Day 23 of the counteroffensive, NATO/Ukraine had lost 259 tanks and 780 armored vehicles accross all fronts.
On June 27, 2023 a video surfaced of soldiers of the 59th Motorized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine blowing up their own soldiers who fled their positions and refused to return.[169]
On July 2, 2023 it was reported that the Russian armed services had amassed 180,000 troops along the Kremennaya front opposite Kharkov.
Wagner mutiny
Under Russian law, neither the Wagner group nor any other private military company (PMC) can operate on the territory of Russia. After the annexation of the four new republics to the Russian Federation by referendum in the fall of 2022 - Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson - the Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) ordered that the Wagner group be incorporated into the regular Russian armed forces when the Wagner group's current contract with the Ministry of Defense ran out in June 2023. The new arrangement stipulated that all members become contract soldiers directly to the Ministry of Defense. Faced with losing control over the group, Wagner CEO Evgeny Prigozhin opposed implementing the new rules.
The Washington Post claimed to have obtained previously unreported documents from the Pentagon leaks alleging that Prigozhin was secretly in cahoots with Kiev. It was published the day after WaPo asked Zelensky about it on May 14, 2023.[170] Zelensky reacted angrily to their summary of the so-called 'Discord Leaks' contents. Zelensky then asked WaPo who passed the information along, and accused whoever it may have been of committing treason.[171]
On June 20, 2023 the Pentagon alleged that a $6.2 accounting "error" allowed for the transfer of more wealth from the United States to Ukraine.[172]
The Wagner group's contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense expired on May 21, 2023, and the group was to be disbanded on June 23. The day prior on June 22, Rybar reported,
"FSO and FSB together with the Interior Ministry are conducting an operation to search for Ukrainian sleeper cells and sabotage and reconnaissance groups (Once Again: not the Wagners, but Ukrainian GUR [military intelligence] groups). According to our information, in the course of operational activities the FSB officers managed to find two agents of the Ukrainian GUR, who surrendered the entire chain of underground cells in the capital and the #Moscow region. They are now looking for a couple of dozen people who form the basis of the clandestine GUR network.
The fact that terrorist attacks were being prepared and attacks on government facilities was confirmed by facts of undercover reconnaissance: employees of diplomatic missions in diplomatic vans drove around #Moscow, recorded security guards and the order of duty and then passed this information to the GUR. A complex operation was being prepared."[173] |
Hours before the mutiny commenced on the morning of June 23, 2023, Newsweek published a story entitled, Putin is Underestimating Prigozhin's Rise in Popularity.[174]
In a rather long and erratic interview, Prigozhin made the shocking claim that Russia’s pretext for the war in Ukraine was an outright lie and that the war had been fraught with corruption and the murder of civilians. Things then got even crazier when Wagner claimed that the Russian army had struck their camp with a missile. The video which was released purporting to show the aftermath of this “missile strike” did not show an impact crater, debris, or any wounded or killed Wagner personnel. The “damage” from the missile consisted of two campfires burning in a trench.
The video obviously did not show the aftermath of a missile attack, but Prigozhin’s rhetoric escalated after this. It seemed to center on personal grudges against Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.
That same morning of the 23rd Prigozhin and some 5,000 of his forces left the Special De-Nazification Operation zone of conflict and took control over Rostov-on-Don, a city with a population of over 1 million in the Southern Federal District of Russia, and is the headquarters of the Southern Military District, which has overall command of the special military operation in Ukraine.
Prigozhin sent Dmitry Utkin to lead the column of forces north toward Moscow on what he called a "March for Justice" against the Russian Ministry of Defense. Globalist billionaire oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky living in London, who is wanted in Russia for the contract killing of Nefteyugansk mayor Vladimir Petukhov,[175][176] issued a tweet urging citizens to give the mutineers gasoline and for their opponents not to fight against the mutiny.[177] An arrest warrant was issued for Prigozhin for treason.
A few videos came from the Russian authorities, including one featuring General Surovikin holding a pistol, apparently pleading with Wagner to “stop the movement of their columns” and return to their posts.
The Ukrainian propaganda machine kicked into overdrive, with characters like Anton Gerashchenko and Igor Sushko absolutely bombarding social media with fake stories about Russian army units mutinying and regional governors “defecting” to Prigozhin - in effect positing that this was not just an uprising by Wagner against the state, but a wholesale revolt of the Russian system against Putin’s government. In fact there were no defections in any regular Russian military units or regional governments, no civil unrest, and no denunciations of Putin. The mutiny was confined to the Wagner Group, and even so not all of Wagner participated. Many who arrived in Rostov with Prigozhin didn't even know what they were there for.
The government of Belarus announced that a settlement had been negotiated with Prigozhin and Putin. Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko’s office claimed “they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia.” The column turned aside from the road to Moscow and returned to Wagner’s field camps around Ukraine, and the Wagner forces left in Rostov packed up and left. The terms of the settlement were anticlimactic: the treason case against Prigozhin was dropped and he was exhiled to Belarus; Wagner fighters who participated in the uprising would not be charged and would return to operations in Ukraine; Wagner fighters that did not participate in the uprising would sign contracts with the Russian military (essentially exiting Wagner and become regular contract troops); a vague reference to “security guarantees” for Wagner fighters.
As required by law, the Gang of 8 in the U.S. Congress had been briefed on the Prigozhin Putsch by the Biden regime beforehand.[178] Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic publicly remarked that foreign intelligence agencies played a role in the Wagner PMC's action.[179]
Attack on Pskov airport
The attack on Pskov Airport on August 30, 2023 was prepared for several months. Foreign advisors, in particular British MI6 intelligence, took part in the development of the operation, according to sources near Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky's office. The drone swarm strike on the airfield was prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine under the control of the British MI6. The proposal to strike Pskov was received months earlier after approval. The preparation of the operation itself was carried out, which took quite a long time.
Allegedly Pskov airport was chosen as a target for several reasons, the main reason of which is its location being a long distance from Ukraine. It was assumed that the Russians would not expect the arrival of Ukrainian drones in Pskov, which was confirmed according to the source. The launch of the drones was not carried out from the territory of Ukraine, since from the extreme point of the Ukrainian territory Pskov in a straight line about 700 kilometers, and even through Belarus. Therefore, the attack was carried out from neutral waters and from the territory of third countries. About two dozen drones were in the swarm attack.
Russia de-ratifies Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
On October 19, 2023 The Biden regime conducted a nuclear test in Nevada.[180] A Kremlin statement on October 24, 2023 stated that Russia has successfully tested its ability to launch a massive nuclear retaliation strike by land, sea, and air. This show of power coincided with the Russian State Duma withdrawing its ratification of a historic nuclear test ban treaty. The United States, while signing the treaty, never ratified it.[181]
Deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia was not ready to begin nuclear talks with the United States until Washington abandons its hostile stance. The development comes days after Russia was attacked by the long range ATACMS missiles delivered to Ukraine by the United States.
After passing unanimously in the Lower House, the bill to de-ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CBTB) was approved by the Upper House by 156 votes to zero. The approved legislation was sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his signature.
Russian plane carrying Ukrainian POWs for prisoner swap shot down with American Patriot missile over Russian territory
On January 24, 2024 the Kiev regime shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs as it was flying over the border region of Belgorod. Agence France Presse reported that American Patriot missiles were used during the attack,[182] which was carried out with the aid of American instructors.[183] The Ukraine regime was informed of the flight ahead of time and was aware that it was carrying its captive troops. Ukraine intelligence confirmed the planned prisoner exchange.[184] The planned swap was cancelled.[185] The shoot down of Ukraine POWs by American advised and operated Patriot missiles was widely interpreted as giving cause to Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky to remove Supreme Commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi and replace his with the more politically reliable gestapo chief Kyrylo Budanov.[186]
Sinking of the Ivanovets
On January 30, 2024 the Russian Internet failed for several hours. More specifically, websites using the .RU Top Level Domain stopped loading for Internet users both in Russia and abroad. The incident affected online giants like the search engine Yandex, the social network Vkontakte, and the e-commerce platform Ozon, as well as the websites of several major banks and online marketplaces. Russia’s Digital Development Ministry later confirmed the suspicions of specialists, announcing that the entire .RU domain temporarily lost its DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), meaning that the digital signatures used to ensure normal web browsing suddenly broke.[187]
On January 31, 2024 the Russian Black Sea fleet lost the missile corvette Ivanovets as a result of the night attack of unmanned boats near the coast of the Crimean peninsula. The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (GUR) claimed the destruction of the warship and supported the report with footage of the attack.
The operation was reportedly carried out by the special unit “Group 13” of the GUR with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.
Russian military sources revealed details of the attack. In total, 9 unmanned boats were reportedly launched from the Danube river in the Odessa region. The crew of the Russian Ivanovets took the battle near the Lake Donuzlav. At least four boats were reportedly destroyed by Russian fire.
In total, three drones reportedly hit the vessel. As a result of the strikes, the missiles on board of the corvette exploded and Ivanovets sunk.
Operation Sanitary Zone
- See also: 2024 Russian presidential election
On March 17, 2024 President Putin was reelected to another 6 year term by an 88% majority with a 77% turnout among more than 112,000,000 eligible voters. In Ukraine, fascist dictator Volodymyr Zelensky cancelled elections scheduled for March 31, 2024,[188] meaning after March 31, Zelensky is an illegitimate president and dictator under Ukrainian law.[189] In the United States, the mentally incapacitated dictator Joe Biden[190] had opposition leader Donald Trump arrested and charged with 91 felonies, facing around 700 years in prison.[191] In France, Emmanuel Macron threatened World War III,[192] which 68% of the French people in public opinion polls opposed.[193] In the UK, unelected globalist puppet Rishi Sunak had a 68% disapproval rating while threatening to continue arming and funding[194] the Kiev regime's extermination of its own adult male population.[195] In Germany, NATO airforce generals were plotting to attack the Russian mainland with long range nuclear-capable cruise missiles.[196]
During the 3 days of voting in the Russian presidential election from March 15-17, 2024, NATO and Ukraine staged a suicide cross-border invasion and shelling of polling stations in Belgorod and Donbas.[197] 11 people were killed at voting stations in Belgorod and over 80 injured.[198] Neo-Nazi forces, many of which were Russian deserters under Ukrainian command, also took part in the suicide attacks.[199] The NATO interference in Russian democracy caused a huge turnout and rallying to the flag among the Russian population.
President Putin announced in his victory speech Operation Sanitary Zone to brings areas of the former territory of the "borderlands", or "Ukraine", back under Russian control and out of range of NATO aggression and Ukraine artillery fire.[200]
Crocus Hall terror attack
- See also: Crocus Hall terror attack
The Crocus Hall terror attack just outside Moscow occurred on March 22, 2024 when four Kyiv regime/NATO-backed and US taxpayer paid terrorists murdered at least 140 civilians attending a rock concert. At least five children aged 8 to 11 were among those killed. 360 people were injured in the attack.
The attack ranks third in post-Soviet tragedies in terms of number of victims after the Beslan attack and Moscow apartment bombings of 1999, even surpassing the Moscow Theater attack of 2002 casualties.
The attack signaled the end of joint international co-operation between governments and nation states to combat terrorism.
NATO decision to use cluster bombs
In early July 2023, the Biden regime ran out of 155mm artillery shells for its M777 Howitzers it donated to Zelensky regime.[201] Biden authorized the transfer of cluster munitions to Ukraine.[202] Jen Psaki stated from the White House Press Briefing Room podium that use of cluster bombs was a war crime.[203] NATO ally Germany publicly declared that Germany opposed the transfer of cluster munitions to the Zelensky regime.[204] The most commonly quoted statistics used internationally are that civilians make up 98% of the victims of cluster bombs and up to one third of these are children.
President Trump remarked, "Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine—he should be trying to end the war and stop the horrific death and destruction being caused by an incompetent administration...These unexploded cluster munitions will be killing and maiming innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children for decades to come, long after the war—we pray—has ended”.[205]
Purely civilian targets in various districts of Donetsk and Kherson region were hit with the cluster munitions. Donetsk, in particular,[206] was hit hard with cluster bombs. Among the targets were residential buildings, hospitals and grocery stores.[207]
Pentecost Sunday terror attacks
Four weeks after the Orthodox Easter is a large religious holiday. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova believes that Ukraine deliberately chose Holy Trinity Day, commonly known as Pentecost in the West, to launch the attack. The aggression came one day after Remembrance Day, another large national holiday commemorating Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the start of World War II in Russia. 27 million people of all ages and sexes were killed in the invasion from the West by an alliance of Western allies.[208]
NATO attack on beachgoers in Crimea
On June 23, 2024 the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO launched a missile attack on civilians in the city of Sevastopol in Crimea. American missiles carried cluster munition warheads aimed to inflict maximum damage to human targets. The attack was coordinated by NATO reconnaissance. RQ-4B Global Hawk Reconnaissance UAV of the US Air Force was operating over the Black Sea south of the Crimean peninsula, coordinating the missile attack.[209] Five civilians were killed, including three children. 124 civilians were wounded, including 27 children. Five wounded children remained in serious condition.
Before the Crimea attack NATO/Ukraine launched two drone attacks on Russian strategic early warning radar stations. Such attacks require US/NATO targeting assistance including evasion tactics to avoid Russian air defenses. Unlike the US which has satellite early warning capabilities, the Russians depend on land based radars that can alert air defenses designed to intercept ballistic missiles.
On the day of the attack on the Sevastopol Beach four ATACMS missiles were fired at the NIP-16 Center for Long-Range Space Communications radar base, in Vitino, Crimea. "NIP-16 was intended for hosting the Pluton deep-space communications complex, which could maintain contact with spacecraft up to an incredible distance of 300 million kilometers. Such a capability would be enough to guide missions beyond the orbit of Mars. The Pluton antennas were designed to send commands, track trajectories and receive and decipher telemetry from spacecraft. In addition, the same complex could be used to bounce radio waves off the faces of Mars and Venus." NIP-16 at Vitino is under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defense. It is not clear if it plays a role in the Ukraine war or if it is tied into Russia's early warning system. According to satellite imagery, the Vitino base appears to have survived the attack.
The Russian Defense Ministry commented on the attack: "All flight missions to the US-made ATACMS tactical missiles are set by US specialists based on the data provided by the US satellite intelligence. Therefore, Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kiev regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out, is primarily responsible for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol. Such actions will not remain unanswered.” Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said, "It is obvious to policymakers in Washington that cluster munitions in ATACMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence. It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day. All this indicates the death of America’s pseudo-humane foreign policy in the bloody swamp of the Ukrainian crisis."[210]
Reaction
On June 24, 2024, Sergei Lavrov summoned U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy to the Russian Foreign Ministry and delivered a stinging demarche. Ambassador Tracy was told that the Kiev regime, protected and armed by Washington, had carried out a deliberate missile attack on the civilian population of the Crimean city, injuring or killing dozens of people, including children. The United States "has effectively become a party" to the conflict and is waging a hybrid war against Russia, the ministry stressed. Washington is supplying Kiev with the most modern weapons, such as the ATACMS long-range missiles that were used in the attack. Since all ATACMS missile missions are initiated by US specialists, they bear the same responsibility as the Kiev regime for the atrocity. [211]
Moscow noted that Washington's actions were aimed at encouraging "pro-Nazi authorities of Ukraine" to continue fighting "to the last Ukrainian" by allowing them to launch attacks against targets deep inside Russian territory.[212] According the Alexander Mercouris, the Russian message included this phrase, “We are no longer at peace.”[213]
On June 27, 2024 Defense Minister Andrey Belousov instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to “take prompt response measures” to the flights of American drones over the Black Sea. He noted “the increased intensity of flights of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the Black Sea, which carry out reconnaissance and target designation of high-precision weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Western states to strike Russian targets.” According to Belousov, “such flights greatly increase the likelihood of incidents in the airspace” with Russian aviation, “which increases the risk of direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation.”[214]
Dagestan attacks
On the same day as the Sevastopol beach attack, gunman opened fire at a synagogue and two Russian Orthodox churches in Dagestan. 15 policemen were killed in the terrorist attack. Several civilians were also killed, including an Orthodox priest who had his throat slit.[215] The synagogue was set alight with Molotov cocktails and police on duty outside and inside the building were killed. According to the Military Chronicle:[216] "Three of the 6 destroyed [killed] terrorists were identified as the son and nephews of the head of the Sergokalinsky district, [Magomed] Omarov. The group was led by his son. Omarov himself has already been arrested".
Zaporozhye radiation monitoring station

On June 26, 2024 NATO shelled a radiation monitoring station near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the largest such facility in Europe. The attack targeted a monitoring station in Velikaya Znamenka, a village around 15km west of the nuclear facility. The monitoring station was destroyed in the attack. The Velikaya Znamenka station is one of a group of such stations used to monitor potential radiation leaks. For some time the Zelenksy regime has been threatening the nuclear power station.
NATO Kursk offensive
- See also: 2024 NATO invasion of Kursk
The terrorist invasion of the Kursk region beginning on August 6, 2024 was commanded by the militant of the "Georgian Legion" Georgy Partsvania. It was Georgy Partsvania militants who were among the first to attack Russian border guards, Western media reported citing one of the leaders of the group from the Republic of Georgia, Vano Nadiradze. Partsvania went to fight in Ukraine in 2022. He was enlisted in Vano Nadiradze's unit and fought on the front lines for two months, including in Irpen, Kyiv region.
The Ukrainian army moved in with the best troops it still had plus some extras scrapped from the bottom of its barrel. There are three Ukrainian brigades involved plus a number of battalions that were dispatched away from their brigades involved in other parts of the front. The 80th and the 82nd paratrooper brigades are the main forces. They were partly trained in Britain and Germany and used western equipment. The 22nd mechanized brigade was the third major unit. Then there are some five to ten battalions from various other brigades. Not only was NATO equipment used in the attack on the territory of the Russian Federation, but there were also reports that the invading force was overflowing with Western mercenaries—with Polish and French languages being heard on radio communications, as well as Georgian mercenary sightings.
The operation was conducted in line with the latest developments of American military doctrine, namely the doctrine of multi-domain operations. The essence of the multi-domain operation is that the object of attack is not only the enemy's armed forces, but also the entire environment in which they operate. Multi-domain operations combine classical warfare with cyber attacks, information and psychological operations, and control in cyberspace. American fingerprints were all over the invasion.
On August 8, 2024, at the end of the first 24 hours of the invasion, the infrastructure of mobile operators in the Kursk region was subjected to the most powerful cyber attack. At this point, civilian communications were critical not only for evacuating civilians but also for interaction between military units. Since NATO had overwhelmed military communications with their EMP, and all communication was only able to go through personal devices, NATO forces also monitored troop movements through online cameras of Russian residents found on their properties. From the first hours of the invasion, the Ukrainians and NATO mercenaries used terror tactics and attacked civilians, systematically shooting cars with fleeing refugees on the roads.
The purpose of terror tactics was to force local residents to stay in their homes in order to, on the one hand make it more difficult for Russian aircraft to strike at invading units in populated areas, and on the other hand to make it easier for the NATO forces to take hostages. It is not unusual for Ukrainians to use civilians as human shields, but by the third day the NATO terror tactics changed. The Center for Information and Psychological Operations of Ukraine began to encourage a large-scale flight of the population from areas where there was no fighting. Ukrainians, pretending to be officers of the Russian Armed Forces, made calls to local residents and disinformation on social media networks grew rampant. The strikes on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant were intended by the Ukrainians to sow chaos and panic. Thus disorganizing the situation in the rear for Russian units trying to put together a defense. The local Russian authorities warned that Ukrainian sabotage groups disguised in Russian military uniform with fake Russian documents were operating in the region.
The Russian National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) launched the largest ever counter-terror operation in Russian history with its emergency declaration: "The Kiev regime made an unprecedented attempt to destabilize the situation in a number of regions of our country...The terrorist attack on the territory of the Kursk region by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine resulted in casualties among the civilian population and the destruction of homes and other civilian facilities...In order to ensure the safety of citizens and stop the threat of terrorist acts that could be carried out by the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance formations, the National Antiterrorism Committee Chairman and Russian Federal Security Service Director, Alexander Bortnikov, decided to conduct counterterrorism operations in the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions starting from 9 August 2024".[217] As a consequence of invoking a counter-terror operation, there is no statute of limitations for prosecution of anyone involved in terrorism, meaning anyone involved in the "incursion", including NATO planners. Alexey Dyumin, the new secretary of the State Council, was appointed the overseer of the whole military/civilian response.
The operation turned into a new meat grinder. Deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Main Military-Political Directorate and Commander of the Chechen Akhmat special forces, Major General Apti Alaudinov, confirmed on Rossiya-1 TV that at least 12,000 Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) entered Kursk, including a lot of British, French and Polish fighters. The US mercenary firm Forward Observations Group's (FOG) official social media accounts posted a photo with the text: "The boys in Kursk," geotagging Kursk.[218] The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the NATO/Ukraine force suffered 3,800 casualties by the second week of the terrorist operation.
The command of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asked to withdraw the unit to the rear due to large losses of equipment and personnel. Having received a refusal, the brigade commander could not think of anything better than to throw the brigade's "female reserve" to the front.
The results were predictable: lines of communications and supply lines were cut, the force was dispersed.
Revisions of Russian nuclear doctrine
- See also: Russia#2024 revisions
A draft policy proposal was made in September 2024 following the joint Ukraine/NATO invasion of Kursk to include an attack on Russian territory by a non-nuclear state supported with weapons and intelligence by a nuclear state which would now be considered a joint attack by both states. On November 19, 2024 President Putin signed the updated document one day after the demented and senile president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden announced his approval of using long range missile to strike deep into Russian territory. Biden had been removed from the Democratic party ticket as its presidential nominee in the 2024 presidential election by an internal coup due to mental incapacity. Key points in the new policy stated:[219]
- A critical threat to the sovereignty of the Russian Federation even with non-nuclear weapons will be the basis for a nuclear response
- Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Belarus.
- The Russian Federation may consider the issue of using nuclear weapons after reliable data on a massive launch of missiles and/or drones.
- Russia has expanded the category of states and military alliances against which nuclear deterrence is carried out.
- In the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as a joint attack on the Russian Federation.
- Russia is obliged to take into account the emergence of new sources of military threats and risks for itself and its allies.
Battle of Ulgedar
After two and half years of fighting and four major assault attempts, the strategic highpoint of Ulgedar finally fell on October 2, 2024.[220] The commander of the 86th battalion of the 123rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Lieutenant Colonel Igor Grib, shot and killed himself when more than a hundred of his fighters mutinied and fled from their positions.[221]
Civilians who had spent more than one and half years in a bunker in an active war zone, hiding from the excesses of the Zelensky regime, expressed their appreciation to their Russian liberators.[222]
Located at an elevation of 614 feet, Ugledar is a strategic link between the southern and eastern fronts in the conflict and a crucial supply hub. There are no fortifications behind Ugledar. Russian troops could now sweep to the west and come up from the south and hit Kurakhovo, which is not fortified.
The strategic considers regarding the loss of Ulgedar were articulated by former presidential advisor and Kyiv regime spokesman Alexei Arestovich, who has been mentioned as a possible replacement for the embattled Zelensky:
“ | In two to three months, well, three to four, the front, which is currently crumbling in two directions, and slowly retreating in three, will begin to crumble in six or seven. This flow will become uncontrollable. This means a collapse of the front...the Russian army will shift the war to maneuver warfare, leading to the collapse of the front as such.
When all these 700,000 with automatic weapons and artillery cannot hold the front line, the enemy will start to rapidly advance inward, cutting off Kharkov and reaching Poltava, Dnepr, and Zaporozhye. This will lead to the loss of key industrial centers of Ukraine. No drones can help reach the borders of any [previous] year if infantry soldiers do not walk this path under enemy fire... The training system has failed, there is a lack of basic motivation in the troops, but there is an understanding that the declared goal of the war – reaching the borders of 1991 – is unrealistic under these specific circumstances. Moreover, motivation is lacking due to internal politics, where every day new proposals are put forward by the powerful to limit citizens' rights: from cultural and language bans to economic restrictions. Almost every day, new corruption scandals emerge, and the chaos in the management of the army and the state intensifies. Now the only way out is to sober up, stop the war, and begin a complete reorganization of the state system." |

US missile strikes on Bryansk
On November 17, 2024, Western media reported that the Biden regime had allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS. At the same time, the NYT publication claimed that these missiles can be used to attack the military of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region. Reuters, in turn, reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine plan to carry out the first strikes in the coming days. However, Joe Biden himself and the White House staff refused to comment on this topic. There also were no details from the Pentagon.
Although there was no official confirmation of this, an information wave immediately began. According to French media, France and the United Kingdom, following the Americans, also allowed Ukraine to launch cruise missiles SCALP/Storm Shadow deep into the territories of Russia. Elon Musk, commenting on media reports about Biden's permission to hit ATACMS missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation, agreed with the opinion that "[[liberals love war", which is beneficial to "big government" and globalist Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, called the decision to allow Ukraine to launch long–range missiles on Russian territory "great news."[223]
On November 19, 2024 missile strikes using ATACMS on the Ministry of Defense facilities in Bryansk region were carried out with the assistance of American Pentagon satellites. The launch order for the HIMARS system, which was executed from the Sumy region, was provided by NATO officers.
Coordination and targeting were previously conducted by NATO AWACS aircraft, which took off from Italy, Romania, and Turkey.
At the sites where the damaged missiles fell (the rest were reportedly shot down by the Russian Ministry of Defense), parts of American-made missiles and separate components of the warhead with markings were found. All those involved in the attack on the Bryansk region were identified.
