Mamoulian War

Explanation of the announced mobilization of women in Ukraine, which we were talking about few days ago.

During this push deep into Kharkiv Oblast, UA army captured Lieutenant Colonel of Russian army 😮

In the meanwhile, while Russia sent their best Spetznas and VDV to western Kherson Oblast, UA army started another offensive in Kharkhiv Oblast and in little bit more than 24 hours, they moved more than 20km deep into Russian occupied territories and removed Russian soldiers with heavy losses from 7 settlements between Balaklia and Shevchenkove, probably trying to completely cut-off Izyum from all Russian GLOCs… The push still continues, with first reports, that they moved 5 kms further to the northwest, and are approx. 10kms away from Shevchenkove. EDIT: more liberated towns in Northern Kherson Oblast officially reported today as well.

The funny thing is, that this video made a pretty big outrage in Russia, because there are still some areas in Siberia without gas pipelines, which Putin graciously promised years ago to build, and in 2020, quietly abandoning that promise. Which means, that a lot of Siberian cities are actually living through every winter, what they see in that particular video 🤷‍♂️

It is more prevalent ex-soviet puppet states. Slovakia and Bulgaria are still heavily influenced by Russian Propaganda, and a lot of FSB officers are/were working on embasies in our countries. In the western europe, I think Italy might be influenced by this propaganda more than other western countries. But for that, it would be best to read it from someone living in Italy. I have it only from newspaper, which I read.

Yes I might overestimate it, but I am somehow more inclined to believe more people at Yale, than on zerohedge 🤷‍♂️ https://www.dw.com/en/yale-study-shows-sanctions-are-crippling-russias-economy/a-62623738 On the other hand, you might overestimate the friendship between them and their trade partners and their willingness to risk secondary sanctions, in the longterm 🤷‍♂️

A small price to pay to get rid of the blackmail by Russian mobsters. EU will recover in 5-10 years, Russia in 30-50…

Also, NATO started to collect winter uniforms from its member states to donate to Ukraine Army.

I think Pravda was in every “socialistic/communistic” country, and in some it is still up until now. In Slovakia we have Pravda as well, and it is the only leftist newspaper left. Thankfully, it does pretty good job as a journalistic medium, and sometimes it is good to read it, if you are right wing, but do not want to end up in a closed echo chamber.

And looks like Ukraine just “cancelled” the “referendum” in Zaporizhia oblast, together with a bunch of FSB officers 👌 original source: https://t.me/info_zp/14972 Google translate: “In Kamianets-Dniprovska, the storage of pseudo-referendum ballots and the FSB base were destroyed Fighters of the Special Forces of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine conducted a special operation in the temporarily occupied Kamianets-Dniprovska The place where the ballots were stored for the pseudo-referendum was destroyed. At the same time, the warehouse was blown up by an explosion from inside the premises. All existing printed materials have been destroyed. Along with this, the base of the unit of the Russian FSB, which guarded the warehouse of ballots, was destroyed. The exact number of killed and wounded is being clarified. The surviving and wounded Rashists are urgently evacuated in the direction of the occupied Crimea. This is what the jewelry work of the Ukrainian military means That is why the occupiers announced a curfew in the city😎” EDIT: it’s already in Pravda as well: https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/09/5/7366157/

I think, something has already awakened in Germany. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/04/germany-olaf-scholz-announces-package-help-ease-high-energy-prices This might be a sign, that they rather counter the high prices and eat it up, than trying to find a solution with unreliable Russia, which knows only how to blackmail…

Of course, it might still be psyop by UA, but the fact, that the Russia has lost Vysokopyllia, suggests that they might really started to have issues with supplying their troops. Vysokopyllia means “High Fields”. The town is build on elevation, and the Russian stronghold there was one of the strongest in Kherson Oblast. It would be almost impossible to siege under “normal” circumstances.

So it started…

@Sarex As far as I know, UA men from SK were not forced to go back, but a lot of them went back voluntarily. It is also true, that at some point, the men were forbidden to leave the country. We have a 17 years old kid at home from Kyiv, and his father even though he is at home, he was not yet called to armed service. So I think, there are still a lot of volunteers available with good enough training to get the priority.

Vysokopillia in Norther Kherson Oblast has been liberated. Russian VDV troops which were stationed there did not get artillery support, which they requested for few hours, so they decided to retreat (from RU sources). It is rumoured, the artillery men were drunken, lol… EDIT: it has been officially confirmed by UA side as well. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/09/4/7366056/

A look at the protest by a average Czech.

Redeeming article on the German military help to Ukraine (including the full list). The people at Oryx, who run the site for confirmed losses on both sides, are estimating it as the third biggest material help, right after the US and the UK. 😲 https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/09/fact-sheet-on-german-military-aid-to.html

Little bit of analysis of the few last days of the UA counteroffensive, which speaks about a lot of contrdictions presented by RU MoD, and the possible outcomes. Of course Nothing is 100% sure, until the UA cancels the blackout.

Sure sure. It took 4 months to get Luhansk and 7 month to get Pisky, one of the suburbs of Donetsk City, but UA offensive is 100% and definitelly finished off 2 days after it began. Yeah yeah, seems like another wishful thinking and wet dreams for all the vatniks and generals to afraid to tell the truth to Volodya 😄

Second part of the insight has been released today.

AFAIK Iran has also a lot of gas, so I do expect them to use that as a leverage for better nuclear deal. We’ll see how this one will tip the balance… Also Slovakia opend last week gas transport interconnection between SK and PL. This one should be helpfull for CZ as well.

Russia threatens to completely stop oil export to G7 if it is price capped. Meanwhile, Ayatollah would now wish that the alcohol would not be prohibited, as he would now be popping champagne bottles all over Iran. Looks like the possibility of Iran Russia cooperation lived shorter than the average Russian conscript in Donbas 🤷‍♂️ https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/476308/Iran-s-oil-production-capacity-to-increase-by-200-000-bpd-by

The holding back was clear at the start of the conflict, in February. No one wanted to give to UA proper weapons, before they kicked out RU from the North, and Germany is pretty much holding back their aid up until now. I think he speaks about long rnage HIMARS, which UA is not getting.

Nothing is to absurd for Russia. Remember their news acusing Ukraine of using Black Magic?
