[Alex_Sor]

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 17.09 were approximately:

Operational information as of 06.00 17.09.2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The two hundred and sixth day of the Ukrainian nation's heroic resistance to the Russian military invasion has begun.
The enemy continues to focus its efforts on attempts to fully occupy the Donetsk region, organize defense and hold the temporarily captured territories, as well as disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. Shells our positions along the contact line, carries out measures to regroup troops in certain directions, introduces reserves and conducts aerial reconnaissance.
There remains the threat of air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine.
The enemy continues to attack the homes of civilians and objects of civil infrastructure, violating the laws and customs of war and the norms of International Humanitarian Law.
Over the past day, the enemy launched 4 missile strikes and 24 air strikes and carried out
72 attacks from rocket artillery systems.
The infrastructure of more than 58 settlements was damaged by air strikes, missile strikes and the use of anti-aircraft missiles. In particular, these are Kharkiv, Zolochiv, Druzhkivka, Siversk, Zakitne, New York, Veselyanka, Maryinka, Krasnohorivka, Poltavka, Mali Shcherbaki, Myrne, Velike Artakove, Kryvyi Rih, Nikopol, Olgivske, Zaporizhzhia, Orihiv, Myrolyubivka, Ochakiv and Dry Pond.
The situation has not changed significantly in the Volyn, Polis and Siver directions.
In other directions, the enemy fired from tanks, mortars and artillery, namely:
in the Kharkiv direction, in particular from the territory of the Russian Federation, in the areas of Kudiivka, Hoptivka, Strelecha, Vilkhuvatka, Aniskine, Sinyok, Kamianka, Pristin and Dvorichna settlements;

Wounded representatives of the battalion of the specified illegal armed formation, which took part in the storming of Avdiyivka, after being evacuated to Rostov-on-Don, were denied medical care in the hospital, because they do not have the status of a regular military formation.
In the temporarily captured territories of the Zaporizhia region, the so-called head of the civil-military administration recently announced the strengthening of "sanctions" against patriotic Ukrainian citizens. Sensing the resistance movement, the occupiers and collaborators threaten people with imprisonment for providing support to representatives of the resistance movement, and activists are threatened with forced deportation to the self-proclaimed "LDNR", where such activities are punishable by death.

In addition, our air defense units destroyed one Su-24 aircraft, three cruise missiles and one enemy UAV in various directions.
Over the past day, the Missile Forces and artillery inflicted fire damage on the reserves of the occupiers in the areas of concentration and at the unloading station. The losses of the invaders are being clarified.

Russia will have enough military equipment for 100 years of hostilities.

This was stated by military expert Oleg Zhdanov.

“I will say this, in principle, there will be enough equipment for 100 years of war. Of these tens of thousands of tanks in storage, thousands of weapons and tens of thousands of armored combat vehicles, this will be enough for more than one year. Enough for decades of war,” Zhdanov said .

Regarding the human resource, the situation is quite deplorable for the Russian Federation. The mobilization reserve is the total number of citizens of the Russian Federation who can be mobilized today within the framework of general mobilization - it is somewhere around 16-17 million people. Of these 16-17 million people, the operational reserve is 2 million people - these are those who recently served in the RF Armed Forces, that is, people with combat experience who served in hot spots, or have recently served and their level of training does not require retraining and improvement qualifications. According to Zhdanov, today it can be estimated that about 300,000 people have passed through Ukraine, possibly more. But this is an approximate calculation.

He predicts that in the Russian Federation there will not be many who want to fight. Many men left the Russian Federation, others are hiding from the military registration and enlistment offices. In his opinion, with regard to human resources in the Russian Federation, "there is a reserve, but there are no political or social opportunities."

At the same time, Zhdanov explained that tens of thousands of Russian equipment would indeed be enough for decades of war, but on the condition that there are technical possibilities to bring it into combat condition.

“It turns out that there is equipment, but it must first be repaired, brought into good condition so that it can perform the tasks for its intended purpose, on the one hand. On the other hand, it turns out that there is a human resource, but there are no longer those who want to go on a voluntary basis. Therefore, they run around prisons, therefore they try to force people through blocking credit cards and other things," Zhdanov said.

The Russians fired at the Slavyanskaya thermal power plant, a fire broke out at the station

In the morning, the occupiers fired at the Slavyanskaya TPP, damaging the equipment on the territory of the station.

This was announced by the chairman of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration Pavel Kirilenko.

"Slavyanskaya TPP was fired upon by the Russian occupiers this morning. The equipment on the territory of the station was damaged. The fire that arose from the shelling is now being extinguished by rescuers," he said.

According to Kirilenko, due to the shelling in the city of Nikolaevka, interruptions in water supply began.

"The occupiers are deliberately targeting infrastructure facilities in the region, trying to inflict as much damage as possible, primarily on the civilian population," Kirilenko stressed.

 According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the past day the enemy fired from tanks, mortars and artillery: in the Kharkiv direction, including from the territory of Russia, in the Slavic, Kramatorsk, Bakhmut directions.

A family of traitors in Berdyansk was shot in the head

The so-called "deputy head" of the occupation administration of Berdyansk, Oleg Boyko, was found dead in a garage with two gunshot wounds - in the leg and head. His wife, who also collaborated with the invaders, was found with a gunshot to the head.

This was reported by the Russian propaganda publication RIA Novosti.

"Two bodies were found at the crime scene - a female and a male. The female body was found in that direction (not far from the garage - UNIAN) on the left side with a gunshot wound to the head. The body of a man who was in the garage was also found. He has two gunshot wounds in the leg and a bullet wound in the head," a representative of the occupiers told the propagandists.

Six 9mm shell casings were found at the site of the double murder. According to propagandists, they were probably fired from a Makarov pistol. According to witnesses, the shots were muffled. The gun could have been silenced.

"Cheater and Hick.
well, this is such a "philosophical" story. From the series, who is to blame: the Cheater, who grabbed the wallet, or the Hick, who didn't see the wallet. And there are always those who say that Hick is solely to blame, and Cheater is not to blame, because it is in his nature to steal loot. I think both are guilty, but Cheater is more guilty as the source of evil."
"Cheater, Bandit and Hick.
also philosophical history. Once Cheater steal  Bandit's shoes, took him in all the holes, so that while Bandit was lying, all his loot ran away from him. Including Hick who escaped from slavery. Then these two, Cheater and Bandit, sharply pretended to be decent citizens, and both came to Hick to take his weapons. In exchange for a hug and kind words. The times were hungry, they wanted to eat, so Hick gave his weapon to the Bandit. And Cheater and Bandit promised to protect Hick with all their might, and not to attack. In words, but they did not write it on paper: "they still trust each other."
Then the Bandit began to trade and flirt with the Cheater, gradually learning the Cheater. So they traded for 30 years, pretending to be decent. Cheater gradually relaxed completely, because Bandit paid him well and also gave him bribes. Bandit's only condition was not to deal with Hick. Therefore, between the Bandit and the Cheater there was continuous love and economic assistance, and both of them arranged a strict ignoring of Hick.
For 30 years, Cheater helped Bandit to get back on his feet, helped to arm himself. Then the Bandit attacked Hick to finish him off and take revenge for his past escape from slavery. At the same time, the Bandit warned Cheater that if he intervenes, the Bandit will knock him out in such a way that Cheater will regret ever being born. Cheater was so overcome with fear that he also passed out. Because he suddenly realized that for all these years he did not go to the gym, he only ate and shitted, getting rich on Bandit's bribes. That he is weak and cannot defend himself.
But Hick turned out not to be as weak as everyone expected, and did not die immediately. Bravely fights with Bandit. Therefore, Cheater still dared to help Hick a little, but only so that Hick would not die in the future. And not as I promised, with all my might."
Who is to blame for all this, who owes what to whom? Who's the hick, who's the loser? Many of you say that Hick is to blame, and in turn, no one owes him anything. And that Hick should continuously thank Cheater for keeping Hick alive thanks to Cheater's help. Bow like that, until you break your forehead. I do not think so. I believe that "the fucking nature always prevails over high spiritual ideals"(c) And that if there is a desire, there are opportunities. And if there is no desire, there are reasons.
I don't understand at all how your tongue turns to call "Hick" and say that no one owes us anything. Throughout history, we have been surrounded by killers on one side, and "Cheater" on the other. Which were successful friends and traded with each other. Telling us about "morality" and "democratic values".
And stop talking about our "corruption"! Our corruption is only at the everyday level, personal enrichment. And every time corruption tried to reach a historical level - we destroyed it with our Maidans (uprisings of the Ukrainian people). Unlike you, who have long since hidden everything that the historical corruptors have foisted on you: no gender, no traditions, no morals. Just a word about "values". Some "Conventions". It is your corruption, the Supreme Historical Corruption, that has resulted in you being energy dependent and now trading with terrorists and murderers.
...how is everything screwed up...
Every time, conventionalists, pacifists, and fucking moralists rush into the comments... Our problem is that we turned out to be a mental mirror between the "East" and "Western Civilization". And not by choice. Mordor (Russia) sees himself in this mirror, as they are, so it is fundamental for him to destroy this mirror. The West sees itself in this mirror - as they are not, and is wary of our possible success with its help. And for the military aid - of course, thank you. Without her, we will end (death) and this is a fact.

The total combat losses of the enemy from 24.02 to 19.09 were approximately:

Operational information as of 06.00 on 09/19/2022 regarding the Russian invasion.
The two hundred and eighth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation to the large-scale Russian invasion has begun.
The enemy continues to focus its efforts on attempts to fully occupy the Donetsk region, organize defense and hold the captured territories, as well as disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. He fires at the positions of our troops along the contact line, carries out measures to regroup his units in separate directions, introduces reserves and does not stop conducting aerial reconnaissance.

For example, 400 people serving time for criminal offenses were sent from the Russian city of Tambov to strengthen units fighting in Ukraine. In the Krasnodar region, public organizations of "Afghan soldiers" received the task of collecting money from the local population for the purchase of warm clothes for the regional volunteer battalion.

On February 24, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops are shelling and destroying key infrastructure facilities,

conducting massive shelling of residential areas of Ukrainian cities and villages.

I am in the capital of Ukraine, the city of Kyiv.
I do not leave the city, I follow what is happening here, reassure my family and friends, explain the situation and follow the press reports.

A lot of panic messages, a lot of fake news from Russian propaganda.
I select only the information that has confirmation.
As a former military man (in the distant past), I have a good understanding of how hostilities are conducted and what weapons are used.

I will answer all your questions.

Since February 24, Russia has attacked Ukraine, many cities of Ukraine have been destroyed.

Because of the war, I lost my business in Ukraine, if you want to help me and my family, my Paypal is: Alex.Sor.2022@gmail.com

The operational update regarding the #russian_invasion on 06.00, on September 20, 2022

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred-ninth (209) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.

The enemy continues to focus its efforts on the full occupation of Donetsk oblast, the organization of defence and maintenance of the captured territories, as well as the disruption of the active actions of the Defence Forces in certain areas. It fires at the positions of our troops along the contact line, regroups its troops, and constantly conducts aerial reconnaissance.

Over the past 24 hours, the russian occupiers have launched 10 missile and 15 airstrikes, fired more than 56 anti-aircraft missiles at objects on the territory of Ukraine, violating the norms of International Humanitarian Law, laws and customs of warfare.

Staffing of officer positions in the mentioned battalions is carried out by using the teachers of the Far Eastern Higher Military Command School. Earlier it was reported about the formation of a naval rifle regiment on the basis of the Black Sea Higher Naval School in temporarily occupied Sevastopol. The russian military leadership, during the formation of these units, continues to apply the practice of the Second World War, which indicates significant problems and miscalculations.

During the day, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Mayorsk, Vesele, Kurdyumivka and Novomykhailivka settlements.

During the past 24 hours, the Air Force of the Defence Forces hit 24 areas where the enemy's manpower and military equipment are concentrated, 4 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems and one ammunition depot.

We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!

I have a riddle for you.

(The answer will be in the next post)

Look at this photo and say: what do you see?

Imagine that you are walking through the forest, picking mushrooms, and this is the picture in front of you.

 

[Alex_Sor]

... and now the answer.

 

red circles circled what you need to see ...

This is PFM-1 (Russian: ПФМ-1 — Anti-Personnel Explosive Mine-1, lit. 'Anti-infantry high-explosive mine') is a scatterable high explosive anti-personnel land mine of Soviet and Russian production. It is also known as a Green Parrot or Butterfly Mine. The mines can be deployed from mortars, helicopters and airplanes in large numbers; they glide to the ground without exploding and will explode later upon contact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFM-1_mine

Ukrainian forests near Kyiv, Kharkov are dotted with such "gifts" ... The Russians are deliberately mining our forests and our villages. Next to such "gifts" they set up "bouncy mines" so that whoever sees these "petals" and tries to go around them will fall into another mine

Partial mobilization is announced in Russia today.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a video message.
Today, September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization in Russia.

According to him, only those citizens who are in the reserve and, above all, those who served in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, have certain military specialties and relevant experience, will be subject to military service.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu specified that about 300,000 people are planned to be mobilized.

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, commented on the statement of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the announcement of mobilization.
He recalled that the 210th day of the "three-day war" continues.
Mikhail Podolyak added that the Russians, who demanded the destruction of Ukraine, eventually received: mobilization, closed borders and blocking of bank accounts, a prison for desertion, as well as "special squads for those" omitted "in private military companies."
"Still going according to plan, isn't it? Life has a wonderful sense of humor," Podolyak concluded.

[Alex_Sor]

By signing a decree on partial mobilization in Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not solve a single problem, but created the prerequisites for a dozen new ones.

This opinion was expressed by the military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko.

"Half-measures of a political impotent. That's how I can characterize Putin's signing of a decree on partial mobilization in Russia. The Russian army is now in a critical situation due to the lack of full compensation for the losses it suffers in Ukraine. The covert mobilization of volunteers does not help, the convicts who are being collected on correctional colonies, they also did not resolve the issue," Kovalenko noted.

"This morning, the President of Russia announces partial, not general, mobilization in the country. Partial mobilization, which also will not solve absolutely any problems of the Russian army. Neither quantitative, nor professional, none. And even more they will add. After all, one way or otherwise, and this will be a forced form of mobilization. And where there is coercion, there is always a place for disobedience," the expert added.

Kovalenko predicts that, gradually, reports of refuseniks, deserters and riots at the level of a unit or even a military unit will gradually appear in the news feeds of the Russian media.

Putin wants to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of "attacking the Russian Federation" when our defenders de-occupy territories as part of a counteroffensive. For this, the bloody dictator needs pseudo-referendums.

This was reported by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

"Putin is likely also intent on deterring Ukraine's ongoing counter-offensives by annexing Ukraine's occupied territory and presenting Ukraine's attempts to liberate the occupied territory as an attack on Russia," the report said.

So, already yesterday, Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, vaguely hinted that "invasion of the territory of Russia is a crime; the commission of this crime allows you to use all means of self-defense." With his statement, he could point precisely to pseudo-referendums, after which the aggressor country allegedly "recognizes" them as part of its territory.

The Kremlin likely intends these vague warnings to exacerbate Ukrainian and global fears of nuclear escalation. However, Putin has already refused to apply any area-specific red lines in response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian-annexed Crimea, occupied territory he has controlled for eight years and declares Russian," the ISW noted.

The Russian occupiers are planning to hold pseudo-referendums in the captured parts of Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk and Luhansk regions on September 23-27 in order to join the Russian Federation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine stressed that Russia's plans to hold pseudo-referendums in the temporarily occupied territories will not prevent the Armed Forces of Ukraine from liberating Ukrainian lands from occupation.

Putin's decree will allow to mobilize an unlimited number of conscripts

The decree is formulated as broadly as possible and it will be up to the Russian Defense Ministry to decide who and in what quantity to call for war.

This was announced by the head of the human rights group "Agora" Pavel Chikov.

According to Chikov, the decree on partial mobilization, which Putin announced today, is formulated as broadly as possible and it will actually be the Ministry of Defense who will decide who, from where and in what quantity to call for war.

"The mechanism will be as follows: the Ministry of Defense will form quotas for mobilization for each region of Russia. The governors will be responsible for their implementation. Ramzan Kadyrov obviously knew something when he announced the self-mobilization of the regions," Pavel Chikov commented.

first of all, mobilization orders will be received by reservists - men who have served in the army who have signed a contract to stay in the reserve. Then the men who are in the reserve by rank (there are three of them, they are divided by age depending on the rank).

"Shoigu announced 300,000 people. If more is needed, the decree allows the mobilization of an unlimited number of those liable for military service," Pavel Chikov said.

The Russian Federation has millions of tons of shells: the expert told how long the occupiers will hold out in Kherson

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told how long the Russians could hold out in Kherson and in the temporarily occupied territories on the right bank of the Dnieper. Despite the fact that all Russian logistics in the Yuzhnobugsky direction have already been disrupted, the Russian military has large stocks of shells.

Zhdanov spoke about this live, answering questions from subscribers.

“Echelons of shells were brought there. They brought ammunition there (on the right bank) for half a year. And today they are trying to replenish supplies. I told you that they are like ants. ammunition, one or two KAMAZ trucks, and we try to kill and sink them... We cannot 100% close the transfer of weapons... we don't have so many long-range howitzers. , there will be much less of those that they spend every day, their reserves will begin to dry up ... Why are they now saying that they can hold out for a month on the right bank? Due to huge reserves, "Zhdanov said.

Zhdanov recalled that in the Kharkiv region, in the territories that were de-occupied after the successful counter-offensive of Ukraine, the Russians left a lot of ammunition. There were "railway wagons of shells" on every corner, Zhdanov noted.

“In Russia, there are millions of tons of shells in warehouses and they are transporting them in trains by rail. As soon as they managed to restore the railroad from Dzhankoy, from the Crimea, to Melitopol (the road was blown up by Ukrainian partisans) and what came first? - an ammunition train! And we met them with shots from HIMARS," Zhdanov added.

According to Zhdanov, it is precisely because of the large stocks of shells that the Russian occupiers have that the Ukrainian military has to “mark time”. The Russians will have enough ammunition for a long time, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine find the warehouses of the Russians, and then "something arrives" there. But there is really a lot of ammunition, the expert noted, and therefore it will take time to completely destroy the Russian invaders on the right bank of the Dnieper River.

After the announced mobilization, the Russians flee to Georgia, traffic jams formed at the border

After Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization in the country, huge traffic jams formed at the Upper Lars checkpoint, located on the border between Russia and Georgia.

The video of the transport collapse was published by the Echo of the Caucasus.

The published footage shows that cars with Russian numbers predominate among the vehicles.

Those who want to cross the border and run away from the military commissariats disregard the rules of the road and drive into the oncoming lane to do it as quickly as possible. Accordingly, traffic jams formed on both sides of the border.

Checkpoint "Upper Lars" is the only land crossing through which you can get into Georgia legally, all other ways are either illegal or involve a rather large detour through the territory of Azerbaijan.
