[Vesti] The enemy continues to focus on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region , holding the captured areas of Kherson, Kharkov, Zaporozhye and Mykolaiv regions . Offensive and assault actions continue in the Bakhmut and Avdeevsky directions . The enemy is actively using air defense means to cover his troops.

In addition, state-owned companies of the Russian Federation have been given new standards for the selection of "volunteers" for the war. So RZhD received an order to search among civilian workers for up to 10 thousand new candidates for a short-term contract.

There remains a further threat of systematic massive air and missile strikes against military and critical infrastructure throughout Ukraine.

In the Volyn and Polesye directions, the situation remains unchanged. As part of preparations for the command-staff exercises, the Belarusian Armed Forces are checking the readiness of field communication systems.

The missile troops and artillery of the Defense Forces continue to carry out the tasks of counter-battery combat, disruption of the enemy's command and control system and logistical support. Attacks were made on three command posts. One enemy personnel accommodation facility was destroyed. So, a unit of Russian special forces fell into the affected area. Information on losses is specified.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 3rd, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Korrespnondent] 22:34 The United States will not impose visa restrictions against Russian citizens, White House spokesman John Kirby said on the Dozhd TV channel: "We have introduced visa restrictions for individual Russians. We believe that this is a tool that helps to hold regime supporters accountable. But we we don't think holding all Russians accountable is a productive measure. We don't think it should be turned into a war with the entire Russian people. It's not the Russian people that should be blamed here."

21:48 Vereshchuk warned that if they participate in "referendums" in the occupied territories, Ukrainians face criminal liability: "All this is a farce and a circus. But for our citizens who will take part in this, this is actually an article of the Criminal Code. Therefore, I urge, once again I urge, to evacuate everyone who can. If collaboration is proven, or, for example, participation in a "referendum", or an inducement to participate in a "referendum", then people can get up to 12 years with confiscation" .

The minister added that if it is not possible to leave, then it is simply not worth going to a “referendum”: “And if it so happened that people are forced to stay in uncontrolled territories, not to take part in any “referendums” under any pressure, forcible coercion. It will be impossible later to justify the fact that a person went to a "referendum", took some kind of "ballots" and did something there."

21:44 Zelensky in the evening video message noted today's result of the Air Force - downed Kalibr, attack helicopter of the occupiers, drones: "I want to thank all our defenders and defenders of the sky from the Skhid air command. You are great - today and always." The president also thanked the fighters of the 55th artillery brigade in the Donetsk direction for accurate fire on the enemy. "I thank both our intelligence and the Security Service of Ukraine for the accuracy of our answers on the positions and objects of the occupiers," the supreme commander added.

19:56 At the Zaporizhzhya NPP, one of the operating reactors was again stopped, the IAEA reported. That being said, one reactor is still operating and producing electricity for both cooling and other critical safety functions on the site, as well as for households, factories and other facilities.

18:57 The Armed Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the Bakhmut and Avdeevka directions. During the day, Ukrainian aviation inflicted more than five strikes: military equipment, electronic warfare, air defense equipment and a significant amount of enemy manpower were destroyed, the General Staff reports in the evening summary .

18:28 In Zelenodolsk, Dnipropetrovsk region, as a result of enemy shelling from Hurricanes, a nine-year-old child was killed, ten more people were injured - all of them are in the hospital, most are in serious condition, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.

17:04 Turkey is ready to become an intermediary
...Turkey always volunteers to demonstrate its importance in the world, as once was the Ottoman empire...
in security issues at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Erdogan said after a conversation with Putin, writes Bild. In particular, Erdogan stressed that Ankara can "play a mediating role" in the conflict over the nuclear power plant, "as it has already done with the grain agreement." Erdogan's goal is to stop shelling the nuclear power plant.

16:37 At the airfield of Melitopol, captured by the invaders, where they tried to place their military equipment about ten times, five loud explosions thundered, the mayor of the city Ivan Fedorov said.

16:06 In Bereznegovatoy of the Nikolaev area as a result of attacks the eight-year-old child was lost, four more people received shrapnel wounds, among them two children, the head of a regional council Anna Zamazaeva reported.

14:52 According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, 40% of the equipment that new Russian units are equipped with is not combat-ready. The representative of the Ukrainian military intelligence Vadim Skibitsky said that Russia would be able to form a new army corps before the end of November: "The story with the third army corps will stretch until November. The problem is the human resource, staffing with specialists. It takes 3-4 months to train a normal specialist. Also a problem is the acquisition of equipment and weapons. All the latest equipment was in service with those battalion tactical groups that entered our territory in February-March. Now we see that all units being formed are equipped with Soviet weapons, which are removed from storage bases and arsenals and According to our estimates, 40% of military equipment is not combat-ready.

14:28 The "authorities" of the occupied Energodar said that the supply of energy from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to the territories controlled by Ukraine was suspended after the power line was damaged due to alleged Ukrainian shelling.

13:22 In Oleshki near Kherson, a warehouse with ammunition from Russian invaders is detonating, Mayor Yevgeny Ryshchuk said.

12:59 In Nikolaev around 11:30 explosions thundered - now it is known about getting into garages in one of the districts of the city, there was a fire. The shock wave also took out windows and doors in a private residential building, according to preliminary information, one woman was injured, the mayor of the city Alexander Senkevich said.

11:41 During the night, the Russian Federation inflicted eight blows on Kramatorsk. A warehouse with humanitarian aid was destroyed, industrial infrastructure was damaged. One person was injured and taken to hospital in serious condition, Mayor Alexander Goncharenko said.

11:39 In Severodonetsk, a priest of the UOC-MP was transmitting data about the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the enemy. He was detained on suspicion of collaborationism, the Office of the Prosecutor General said.

11:18 Zaluzhny said that within three days, from August 31 to September 2, a pair of Bayraktar TV-2 UAVs destroyed enemy equipment worth about $ 26.5 million. In particular, these are eight T-72 tanks, Acacia self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicles and a howitzer. Five T-72 tanks and one infantry fighting vehicle were also damaged. The total cost of destroyed and damaged Russian equipment is $28.35 million. One of the Bayraktors is a gift from Lithuania.

10:47 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that Russia is trying to present the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kherson region as an instant defeat, which is a deliberate distortion of reality. At the same time, Russian bloggers stepped up the dissemination of false informational narratives about the September 1-2 counteroffensive, as the information space around the success and pace of the Ukrainian counteroffensive remained foggy. According to analysts, the Russians will continue to spread these narratives in order to exploit the Ukrainian operational silence.

Over the past 24 hours, Russian forces have continued to strike at Ukrainian rear along GLOC ground communications and may have reinforced the southern axis by redistributing equipment from Russian rear areas in Donbas and Crimea.

10:40 am In the occupied territory of the Zaporozhye region, the "CEC" announced that it had received booths for secret voting at the "referendum", transparent boxes for ballots, as well as portable ballot boxes for mobile voting.

10:02 British intelligence reports that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have resumed offensive operations in southern Ukraine since August 29. In particular, an offensive is underway on a broad front west of the Dnieper River, focusing on three directions within the Russian-occupied Kherson region. At the same time, analysts note that it is not yet known whether the capture of Kherson is part of Ukraine's goals.

According to intelligence, Ukrainian forces likely achieved a degree of tactical surprise by exploiting poor logistics, administration and leadership in the Russian military. Since the fighting also continues in the Donbass and Kharkiv sectors, the key question for the Russian command will be where to send the operational reserve forces.

09:28 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of September 3. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Donetsk and Krivoy Rog directions.

  • personnel - about 49,050 (+350) people liquidated,

‘For them, we are cannon fodder’: What Ukrainian prisoners of war are talking about
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Maria Marikian

[RIA] The Russian military, together with the fighters of the DPR and LPR, took control of the village of Peski near Donetsk, from where they shelled the capital of the republic for eight years. Many fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine surrendered. What they say about the situation in the Ukrainian army - in the report of RIA Novosti.

"CARRIED TWO HUNDRED"
Sergey Panin is from the Nikolaev region. He is 34 years old, has four children, the eldest is 18. They were mobilized back in March - they handed a summons at the checkpoint when he and his wife went to the market.

The father of many children hoped to the last that they would not be drafted into the army. Including for health reasons: "eight years ago I had an accident, injured my right hand."

Nevertheless, he was sent to the 56th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"There was a base in Zaporizhzhya. I brought food there. They cooked for us in schools and kindergartens. Then to the Dnipropetrovsk region, they gave an ambulance, two people and sent to Nevelskoye near Donetsk. In July they were transferred to Peski."

Panin's task is to take the dead and wounded. "I shouldn't have traveled along the red line (the front line - ed. note) on a gazelle, but I had to. In theory, people are taken out of there in a tank, under armor. We connect later."

He was in the positions of "Khabib", "Vegas", "Flagship" and "Ruby". For three weeks in Pesky, he transported five KIAs and six wounded. The wounded have contusions and shrapnel. Some of the dead were literally collected in parts. He was taken prisoner in mid-August.

"I was waiting for a rotation, hoping to move closer to home. To be honest, the mood in my village is different. Someone is for the Kyiv authorities. Others don’t care what flag they live under. The main thing is that people want peace."

As did he. By the way, he traveled to Russia regularly - to work in Moscow. Now looking forward to an exchange.

"WITHOUT EQUIPMENT AND WEAPONS"
Colleague Sergei Panin" Alexander Balt was taken into the army in mid-May. "Directly from home. Otherwise - a prison of up to ten years. They brought me to the military registration and enlistment office in Pervomaisk, Mykolaiv region," he says.

I have service experience: in 2014-2015, they were also mobilized. Then he guarded the ammunition. This time the task is the same. “Eight of us were transferred to the Donetsk region in the middle of the night. We didn’t know where we were going, we only understood on the spot,” the Ukrainian explains.

They were met by a senior sergeant, who gave a short tour, and who did not give any instructions. The arrivals dispersed to their positions, Balta was on the Yantar. And the very next day - on Saturday the 13th - he was taken prisoner.

"We were on duty for four hours. It was time to change, but there was no one," the soldier says. "A couple of hours later, one of ours went to the neighboring position for water, and they tied him up there. Then I was."

He 'expected the worst.' "Although now my relatives find out that I’m alive. They treat me well, there’s nothing to complain about, I hope to see you soon," Balta takes the opportunity to address his relatives.

He adds that he did not meet among the mobilized ardent patriots.

"Everyone has a job, a family - they just want peace. At first, like many, I thought that we were defending our homeland. But we were thrown like cannon fodder, right on the front - without equipment and normal weapons."

Because of this, the fighter clarifies, the units rebelled. There were many questions to the command.

"BY THEMSELVES"
“In fact, we were left to our own devices. The command suddenly evaporated somewhere. The only thing they advised was not to stick out,” says 50-year-old Andrei Kulai.

And so for two weeks, until they moved to another position - to check how it is equipped. Of the ten, four made it - the mortar was firing. The survivors were taken prisoner.

He also has experience - in 2014 he served in the National Guard. "Then everyone was more patriotic. They considered what was happening to be a fair and correct struggle. But now nothing is clear. If people want to live separately, let them," Kulai argues. "Sick, lame and old people were taken away from Nikolaev."

From the positions, the fighter admits, he expected more. "After all, eight years. But they were not ready for a long defense."

He hopes to eventually return to work as a machinist for a transport company.

DIFFICULTIES WITH THE EXCHANGE
Andrei Kruglenko in the Nikolaev region is waiting for his mother and wife. The notice was handed in in April. Some paid off - for 600 dollars.

"I didn’t have so much on my hands, I’m a simple hard worker. And I didn’t want to take risks," he admits.

First, he guarded equipment in Zaporozhye. But in the summer they were sent to the front. "They were supposed to replace those who were on the front line. It is not clear on what basis the lists were compiled.

I stayed under the Sands for a couple of days. We don’t know how, why were we sent there? There is no discipline – neither among the soldiers, nor among the officers," the fighter says.

This is confirmed by the Commissioner for Human Rights in the DPR Daria Morozova. All prisoners, according to her, are provided with food, clothing and hygiene products. Medical care is also provided promptly.

Now the Ombudsman is actively dealing with the issue of exchange. There is no direct dialogue between Kyiv and Donetsk, so the issue is decided by Russian negotiators. Morozova collects appeals from relatives of both Donbass and Ukrainian prisoners.

"In all cases, without exception, I explain the rights, the steps to be taken," she notes.

The last major exchange was at the end of June. Many DPR fighters, Morozova emphasizes, needed medical assistance. They were treated cruelly, in violation of the Geneva Convention. The human rights activist appealed to various international organizations, but there was no response.

By the way, in the laboratory there were documents confirming this. For a small fee, the subjects were injected with unverified drugs being tested.

The truth of the witness about Bucha - says a volunteer from France
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Alexander Pogozhev and Ekaterina Bulatova

[REGNUM] Against the backdrop of the incessant whistle of flying shells and explosions in Donetsk, the Oplot TV program is being broadcast daily. The live broadcast is attended by people who, with all their hearts, worry about the Donbass. Help him survive and win. Correspondents of IA REGNUM were invited to the program and saw with their own eyes who sets an example for compatriots.

The host of the program, Alexander Voskoboynikov, was detained on March 22, 2014 in Odessa for his civil position, along with his comrades in a public organization. Only after more than seven months, he was released through the exchange of prisoners of war.

“The four of us just stood by the car. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the fighters of the Kyiv group "Alpha" jumped out. They walked over us as best they could. They began to beat without further ado. Nobody spoke, nobody introduced themselves. They threw me into the car and drove me straight to Kyiv.

On the way they stopped, opened the door and started beating again. It was kind of crazy. Vladimir Voityukhovsky was beaten especially hard in front of my eyes. Blood was pouring in all directions. And no one could do anything," recalls Alexander Voskoboinikov.

The men were brought to the SBU, taken to their offices, forced to sign documents stating that they were going to kill someone, organize terrorist attacks. They promised that if Voskoboynikov signed everything, then tomorrow he would be sent home.

"Of course I refused. The representative of Alfa began to “persuade” me on the kidneys, then at 12 at night a lawyer was brought to me. They made an inventory of the things that were with me. And at 4 in the morning they took me to the SBU pre-trial detention center," says Alexander.

Three days later, a trial took place, and the guys were accused of planning to seize Odessa, Kyiv and part of Transnistria, as well as lead the Crimean army. On October 2, the prison authorities called the men and released them. The case was closed for lack of evidence. At the exit they were met by a car, the men were again handcuffed and taken to Kharkov. There they stayed for a day. Then they were taken outside.

The Kyiv militants handcuffed them again and said that they were taking them for an exchange. They brought me to the camp where the Dnepr-1 detachment was located. There they were forced to work, pressed physically and mentally, and on the seventh day they were transported to Izyum and placed in the basement. From the basement they were again transported to the Kharkiv SBU, where they were kept for three days, and then exchanged to Shchastya near Lugansk.

After being released from captivity, the Odessa citizen ended up in Donetsk. Together with him, the public Odessa television moved to the city.

"Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine heavily shelled the Kyiv region. They are trying to deliver the last blows to Donetsk, they are driven away. There were fewer shellings. Ours are working in full - 24 hours a day, Kyiv militants are being destroyed near Donetsk. They are in agony, they don't know what to do. Now they have very big problems in Avdievka.

Some of them want to escape from there, but it is no longer possible. They came here to kill," the program began with these words, to which a French volunteer, soloist of the Donetsk Philharmonic Francois Modeme and Donetsk poet-bard Vladimir Skobtsov were invited.

Francois Modeme has been in Donbass since 2014. He told what brought him to Donetsk.

"I immediately realized in 2014 that very important events [are taking place] here in Donbass. Russian friends from France told me: 'Francois, let's go and see together.' And we immediately got into the militia. I realized that I belong here, I like the mentality, there are reliable people here, and eight years later I don’t regret anything at all. Donbass is a wonderful thing," says the defender of Donbass.

Francois has a military education He graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy for officers, after which he served in the infantry as a senior lieutenant of the Airborne Forces.

"The atmosphere there is not for me. The missions and tasks of the French army are not in the interests of the French soldier and the French people. I realized that it was impossible to go to Serbia and work against the Orthodox. I immediately realized that I needed to resign and find something else for myself," says Modeme.

François had five years of spiritual search, and in 2014 he realized that by doing what was right in Donbass, he was finding God and the meaning of life. Francois converted to Orthodoxy, learned the language.

"I realized that I was here for a long time, if not forever," he says.

François Modeme was a pianist, and then decided that his vocation was vocals. After 10 years, he professionally mastered vocals and today he sings at the Donetsk Philharmonic. When he helped to fight off Mariupol from criminal gangs, he congratulated the inhabitants with a song, tried to provide moral support, carried exhausted old people out of the cellars in his arms.

"My mission is to save people, those who need help. But above all, it is a war against Nazism. The main composition of the enemies here is the Azov battalion. And people who came from abroad to help them. I believe that these people are behaving here as occupiers. Our task is to protect and save the population from these crazy people," says Francois.

On the morning of February 24, Francois learned that Russia had launched a special military operation to protect Donbass. At 8 am, I quickly packed my things and went to the gathering place as a volunteer. Together with the guys, Francois ended up in a rifle regiment, and a week later - in Mariupol. From beginning to end, until the Kyiv militants surrendered, he was in the city.

"What we show, on the territory of b. The Ukrainian SSR is not shown. Moreover, these animals and the cocaine dwarf declare that we ourselves and Russia are shelling our cities. Is it possible that in Europe they distort reality in the same way?" Alexander Voskoboinikov asks Francois.

"Yes, and it comes in big waves. Half the people don't understand what's going on. And they believe with their eyes closed what they say in the media. The other half is trying to understand and understand. But it is very difficult for them to find the truth. Because we know that many Internet platforms no longer have Russian media. There is only what was filmed by the Kyiv militants. It's hard for people to understand where the truth is. In France, censorship banned RT, Sputnik and all Russian media," says Francois Modeme.

Now Donetsk is bombarded with mines "Petal". In turn, Zelensky claims that they never had these mines, they say, this is Russia. There is a problem with water in Donetsk, there is not electricity everywhere, it is daily shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from various types of artillery weapons, including American HIMARS installations. Macron also supplies the Kyiv militants with the French Caesar weapon, which killed a child near the Green Plaza in Donetsk.

"In France, they don’t know this, from the word at all," says Francois.

Kyiv propaganda daily shows that the West is with them. But in Donbass they understand that what Western curators are doing now goes beyond all boundaries. Just recently, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated this directly:

"The situation [on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR] shows that the United States is trying to prolong this conflict, and they are acting in exactly the same way, inciting conflicts in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As you know, recently the United States once again deliberately tried to add fuel to the fire and stir up the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. The American adventure with regard to Taiwan is not just a trip of an individual irresponsible politician, but part of a purposeful, conscious US strategy to destabilize and chaoticize the situation in the region and the world. A brazen demonstration of disrespect for the sovereignty of other countries and for their international obligations. We see this as a carefully planned provocation. Obviously, with the help of such actions, the Western globalist elites, among other things, are trying to divert the attention of their own citizens from acute socio-economic problems: falling living standards, unemployment, poverty, deindustrialization. To shift their own failures to other countries - to Russia, to China, which defend their point of view, build a sovereign development policy, not submitting to the dictatorship of supranational elites," said Vladimir Putin .

Considering that the Americans are playing a long game, it becomes clear why they are destroying the cities of Donbass, they want to burn the cities of Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Kharkov, Odessa. This task is set before the Nazis, and it does not matter to them what to destroy. But along with this, the Americans are already preparing Europe. Local conflicts there are quite possible, because it is beneficial to the United States and world capital. There are now many migrants, migrants, refugees in Europe, whom they can use as a reserve.

"The standard of living in France is declining very quickly. My parents tell me every day that everything is getting more expensive. People are afraid of the onset of winter because heating will be expensive - perhaps 10 times more than it was last year. They do not understand how to survive, how not to die of hunger and not to freeze. We will now see how supposedly wealthy Europe will survive. Two years ago, there were 'yellow vests,' which just understood that something was wrong with the French state. They did not succeed, because the state is very good at protecting its interests. They fooled people again. It is already clear that we are now on the verge of revolution and civil war in France, Germany and Great Britain. We do not yet know when this will be, but everyone there now understands that they are on the verge of it. There, people buy weapons, and illegally. Everyone in their own way tries to understand what will happen in a year. And they are getting ready. The Western media do not show this, they do not talk about it, but it goes on," Francois says.

François, a compatriot, ended up in Bucha with Azov militants and saw with his own eyes that the situation that is presented in France and the one that actually exists are completely different things.

"We arrived in Bucha accompanied by the Azov battalion. Quietly arrived by car. And the first thing I saw was some dead bodies on the side of the road, just a few dead bodies. And just at that moment, when we arrived, other corpses were unloaded from the trucks, which were brought from other settlements. They were laid out along the road. As soon as there were more of these corpses on the road, journalists began to take pictures. Other cars were driving in our direction. Somewhere at a distance of 30 meters from this hangar, I saw that there were prisoners from the Russian side in these cars. They were thrown out of the cars, and the fighters of the Azov battalion with special agents told us to leave very quickly. At that moment I heard shots, I leaned over, to look and saw the soldiers of the Azov battalion, who were shooting at the legs of prisoners of war. I climbed into the car and heard how they said in Russian: 'Officer, officer.' They called Russian officers. One of the Russian officers responded and immediately received a bullet in the head. That is, I was present and saw with my own eyes the execution of a Russian officer. The first question I asked the fighters of the Azov battalion, why do they have stripes on their sleeves with the emblem of the SS and the black sun of the Third Reich? And do you know what they answered me? Nothing. They answered me with the Nazi salute." - says the demobilized French military Andre Beco (the quote is taken from the transcript of the live broadcast of Oplot TV).

It is believed that all the events in Bucha were supervised by the British. And François doubts that they can stop, because it is their typical mentality to reach the end of the most terrible thing. Francois lived in England for several years and noticed that there is a very big gap in mentality between him and the British, because they do not understand what the people are and respect for them.

"These people are really ready to kill everyone with the most vile methods to achieve their goal. They even, realizing that journalists see the production, try to make them accomplices. What they did. Journalists are afraid and say everything that is required of them. Only my friend was not afraid to tell the truth, and because of this, now he cannot return to France," says Francois.

Francois believes that nothing prevents him from returning home.

"I am fighting here as a citizen of the Donetsk People's Republic and a citizen of the Russian Federation. If someone there has problems with this, then we will figure it out for a long time," says Francois Modeme.

#3  Would it be mean of me to ask for an accounting of the first $40 mm before we throw more money after it?

Also, do we not have any pressing needs at home that $13.7B could take care of?

UKRAINE made a great deal by investing a few $$ million on the Biden Family, it is getting $$$ BILLIONS in return. That's a fantastic ROI even by Wall St. standards

But, a person has to wonder much of the $$$B is really being used for the War, and how much is finding its way to "other" uses?
