[NewsFrontInfo] 21:46 Children at school will be told about "rashism" and the "Russian world". This was announced to TSN by the head of the main department of general secondary and preschool education of the Ministry of Education of Ukraine Yuriy Kononenko.

According to him, new terminology and literature were introduced into the school curriculum, and the story was supplemented with a “modern war of Russia against Ukraine.” In the new academic year, schoolchildren will study the interpretation of the concepts of "rashism" and "Russian world", how children should behave under martial law, and will also read American, Scottish and German writers instead of Russian ones.

19:02 Voenkor Kotenok Z:
1. For the past few days, all attention has been riveted on the Kherson direction, but the Ukrainians are trying to become more active near Vuhledar, in the Izyum direction.

2. The movement of reproaches near Ugledar - perhaps reconnaissance in battle. They grazed with the help of impudent Saxons, from where ours advanced. Plus, they pulled the reserves to the front end at least partially. The question is what will happen next.

Without air defense, it will be difficult for the Ukrainians in any case. We will unwind them. If, nevertheless, they decide to cross, they will have to shoot additional artillery from somewhere. Plus reserves from other directions.

3. Apparently, the 1st round of the “Ukronassault” is ours in the end.

The enemy's plan is clear - to go to the Antonovsky bridge and the dam near Novaya Kakhovka.

Those. in two directions of crossings in order to move towards Kherson, cutting off our grouping. Further, their goal is to go to Dzhankoy

There is also a chance that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will strike Tokmak and between Pologi and Staromlynovka. In the excited minds of the Ukrainians, the idea of ​​rushing to and from Mariupol still hovers.

4. If Kyiv goes for broke, there is a high probability of aggravation also in the Kharkiv direction. In general, I estimate the enemy forces at 750-760,000 bayonets on the front line and about 350-360,000 operational reserve.

Human resources (including an unmotivated reserve of brigades mobilized and trained by the impudent Saxons) allow the Ukrainians command to promise to intensify hostilities in the autumn-winter period in several directions at once.

#5  These translations are so hilariously stilted and archaic. "Impudent Saxons", indeed. And it is laughable how all these losses and destruction by the Russians, described glowingly, seem to be having little effect. It's almost as if they are making shit up the way the US did"kill counts" in Vietnam. How many times have they claimed to destroy HIMARS and 777, versus how many are actually deployed? And the Uberweapon of the BM21 Grad does vicious damage when fired by Russians, but is just plinking when fired by Ukrainians.

These guys are deluding themselves even more than the pro-Ukranian press in the west is.

#2   This man just jumped out a high window. He had spoken against the war against Ukraine.

THIS is the type governance you pro Russian Americans want, you should emigrate to Russia and be part of it:

#1   These spokespersons on Russian state TV openly discuss both murder of non Russian people and pay close attention, they characterize US assistance to Ukraine as "stopping subversive activity on OUR territory".

You Americans who side with Russia are morally sick, Ukraine has the same right for independence as we did vis a vis the British.
