🇺🇦️🇷🇺 The Russian occupiers killed their own soldiers.

🤯Seven Russian soldiers tried to surrender to the Ukrainian army, but while moving toward Ukrainian positions, the Russians launched several artillery strikes on them. As a result, four were killed, and only three were taken prisoner.

The russians claim that all the drones were shot down. NASA's fire map shows large-scale fires both on and near the airfield.

The arsenal of weapons, which is still burning in Kotluban, was attacked by the Special Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, units of the Security Service of the Military Police and the Security Service of Ukraine.
The object is located more than 400 km from the border.
The Russians used the "Kotluban" depot to store & modernize missiles & artillery weapons (including Iranian-made ones).On the eve of the attack, another echelon with Iranian missiles arrived on the territory of the target.

This quite an excellent move. It benefits both, the Ukrainian army and industry.

Lavrov reported that the first meeting of "the Friends of Peace" organized by China and Brazil was attended by France and Switzerland. This annoyed him.

"I do not understand only one thing - how the French and the Swiss appeared at the meeting. The Swiss cannot be called neutral for a long time... The French are NATO members, they support Ukraine, demand victory over Russia, and supply long-range weapons. I asked my Chinese colleague, he says that they asked very much and were invited as observers," Lavrov said.

In his opinion, "this group still has work to do."

"We are ready to help them with advice, the main thing is that they should base their proposals on realities, not on abstract talks," Lavrov added.

French just straight up trolling.

[atomheartbevo 89,674]

Where we are now and what can we expect in the coming months within the context of Russia's war in Ukraine: 

◾️Ukraine and the world continue to await tensely for the results of the US elections.

In the meantime, Ukraine and Russia  continue active diplomatic actions to consolidate support for their allies.

◾️ Russia's primary focus is on discrediting Ukraine in the West, dividing our allies, and interfering in the US elections to divide Americans and increase instability. 

◾️ During his visit to the US, President Zelensky met with President Biden and had meetings with presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

◾️ Ukraine continues to destroy Russian military depots and military logistics; Ukraine produces its own drones and other weapons.

◾️ Russia increases its weapons and drones production as much as it can, despite sanctions. It uses weapons supplied by Russian allies - Iran and North Korea. There are reports that production of Russian Shahed drones has exceeded Russian original plans.

◾️ Russia is intensifying its strikes on Ukrainian cities, deliberately targeting apartment blocks, hospitals, and nursing homes. Its main purpose is to cause as much panic as possible, intimidate Ukrainians, and force them to leave their lands and homes. Strikes are unfortunately likely to continue, especially for Sumy and Kharkiv. Zaporizhzhia is now within the range of Russian KAB bombs, so it is likely to be under constant strikes as well.

◾️Despite the lack of "cannon fodder", Putin doesn't dare yet to announce open mobilization in Russia and increases hidden mobilization instead: increases payments for signing army contracts and recruits soldiers from other countries, including countries of Africa. Russia is increasing its presence there at an alarming rate which is very dangerous for this region.

◾️ In the coming month, the Russians will probably try to solve the "Kursk issue" at any cost. The "deadline" is likely set before the US elections at most but a desirable timeline for them is before the BRICS summit in Kazan (22-24 October) - to demonstrate to the BRICS guests that Russia is in control of the situation and is a serious partner. Otherwise, the situation when a part of Russia's territory is under Ukrainian control (when Putin had the intention to capture Ukraine "in three days" almost three years ago), is rather humiliating for Russia.

During August and September, Russians have accumulated forces, have reformed and will now try to counterattack our troops.

How the situation in Kursk region will develop depends on many factors and on the decisions that AFU leaders will make.

◾️ One of the key elements of these upcoming months are the elections in Moldova and Georgia at the end of October, where the influence of Russia and pro-Russian forces is enormous.

◾️We are likely to hear increased nuclear threats and other escalation rhetoric from Russia.

◾️Ukraine will face further problems due to electricity shortage.

◾️ Due to the escalation in the Middle East and the US elections, Ukraine is fading from the information field, which Russia is actively using, knowing that its crimes against Ukrainian civilians will not make the headlines in the Western media. Accordingly, many people outside Ukraine have the impression that the situation is getting better. But this is not the case at all: the situation is very tough and complicated. And it will continue to get worse.

The largest war in Europe since the Second World War continues to rage on. The whole world is waiting for the US elections.

The situation of strategic uncertainty will last at least until November.

It is crucial to go through this period with a cool head, keeping the focus on Ukraine and showing Russia that the West does not withdraw its support.

I'd like to end with a reminder of these Putin's words, which he said in June 2024. Nothing has changed for him: he intends to wage a war until the end. And it must become his own end.

---------------

I highlighted a few things, but I think the big thing out of all of that, is Putin has to do something to get Ukraine out of Kursk.  It's almost October.If he heads into the 3rd anniversary next February with a sizable chunk of Russian territory under Ukrainian control, well hell, I'm not even sure how the nightly talking heads can continue to shape that over the next two months.  In recent weeks we've seen them go back and forth on what to do, and given that they are there at Putin's behest, and are supposed to reflect his views and/or be playing to him. It's almost schizophrenic the way they are handling this in the evening shows. I get that some of those talking heads are deliberately playing devil's advocate and that this is a long-time Russian behavior, but it's got to wear down whatever audience is still around.

considering that Ukr shot down at least 1 with starlink attached, kinda tells you its a cheap way for Russia to actually set them as GPS attacks that are immune to most jamming because for the Ukr's to jam the starlink signal... they would be cutting off their own internet in a huge part of the country, and most especially the part of the country that uses internet to attack with drones back at Russia.

Personally, I think it's worth it.  There is a psychological impact to hitting the enemy where they feel most safe.  The message is, we will find you and we will kill you, there is no safe harbor for leading these attacks.  The downside is that for some high ranking Russian's it may steel their resolve, but at least for some, it may encourage them to "make mistakes" get extra incompetent, etc.  Additionally, sowing an atmosphere of internal distrust within the Russian ranks helps with creating chaos.

Isn't this the second such fellow they've given the what for?  I seem to recall earlier they got a high ranking officer who was maybe in charge of drone/missile targeting a while back.  

You have to publicize this as (a) you want people to be ducking for cover/finding something else that makes them "busy and important" whenever the higher ups start saying, "We need you for this job"; and (b) IF they get tasked with the job, to be shitty at it - whether overtly or because they're constantly looking over their shoulder, or both.

Today Russian forces launched a major attack on the Kharkiv front, in the town of Vovchansk: From the Russian side 17 MT-LB, 3 tanks and more than 100 infantry were involved in the assault operations in the Vovchan direction. 16 MT-LBs were destroyed, 1 tank was knocked out, which was able to retreat together with survivors. As said by Ukrainian soldier: “The boys confidently met Russian armor in the Vovchansk front, as I said, the units were ready for this, so they worked confidently. In addition to the destroyed iron, there are a lot of corpses lying around them, since almost all the boxes were with infantry.”

After the Russian missile attack on the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital in Kyiv, one of the Russian pilots of the 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division contacted the DIU chatbot, - The Telegraph The pilot was shocked by another attack on civilians, so he handed over documents from the personal files of senior officers of the division and valuable sealed materials to the Ukrainian side.

From the footage, this does not look like there was an explosion. The building looks somewhat intact, other than the fire, which favors Special forces rather than drones.
