[FoxBusiness] The Nissan car manufacturer sold all of its assets in Russia to the Russian government for a single Euro on Tuesday.
Nissan is only the latest major company to flee Russia following Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in February. The deal costs Nissan roughly $687 million, but the company believes it will not affect the earnings forecast for the fiscal year, according to Reuters.
Nissan's move comes months after the company cut business ties with Russia in March, suspending production at its plant in St. Petersburg. The company has roughly 2,000 employees in the country.
"On behalf of Nissan, I thank our Russian colleagues for their contribution to the business over many years," Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida said in a Tuesday statement. "While we cannot continue operating in the market, we have found the best possible solution to support our people."
The deal allows Nissan to purchase back the assets within 6 years.
Marriott, McDonald's and a slew of others have also opted to pull out of the country and leave assets to the Russian government.
Marriott closed all of its corporate offices in Moscow in June, and McDonald's sold all of its franchises in the country to the Russian oligarch Alexander Govor.
"We have come to the view that newly announced US, UK and EU restrictions will make it impossible for Marriott to continue to operate or franchise hotels in the Russian market," Marriott wrote in a statement at the time. "We have therefore made the decision to suspend all Marriott International operations in Russia."
[BBC] Ukraine is turning the tide against "exhausted" Russian forces, the head of Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency will say in a speech on Tuesday.
Despite the missile attacks on targets across Ukraine on Monday, Sir Jeremy Fleming will claim Moscow is running out of ammunition. North Korea agrees.
He will say President Vladimir Putin's decision-making has proved "flawed".
The intelligence chief will also assert that the UK and its allies are at a defining moment when it comes to China.
The director of the intelligence, cyber and security agency will say the costs to Russia of the war in Ukraine - in terms of both people and equipment - are "staggering" as early gains are now reversed.
"We know - and Russian commanders on the ground know - that their supplies and munitions are running out," Sir Jeremy will say in his speech at the annual Royal United Services Institute security lecture.
He will argue that the mobilisation of prisoners and inexperienced men "speaks of a desperate situation" - and will also directly criticise President Putin as isolated and making mistakes.
"With little effective internal challenge, his decision-making has proved flawed. It's a high stakes strategy that is leading to strategic errors in judgement."
Sir Jeremy also claims the Russian people are now starting to understand the problems caused by what he describes as Putin's "war of choice".

"With little effective internal challenge, his decision-making has proved flawed. It's a high stakes strategy that is leading to strategic errors in judgement."
Yes, flawed invasions, errors in judgement, innocent civilians transported to camps or slain. Seen those before, haven't we Sir Jeremy ?
#3
Is this the same GCHQ that spied on Trump back in 2016? The same GCHQ that conspired with the CIA and the Hillary Clinton campaign to rig an American presidential election?

They may well be correct in this instance but their reputation is tarnished. Maybe we should have the Morton girl here.

The Morton Salt Girl™" would be appropriate. British senior officers denigrating the works of "wogs and foreign riffraff" is a a historical practice ...especially if it is to the local press.
“Russian 🇷🇺 soldiers are entering Belarus 🇧🇾 by the trainload. They’re traveling in cattle cars - just a huge quantity. Just waves of trains arriving.”
When Putin invaded Ukraine, experts speculated his ultimate goal was to restore the Russian Empire.
But as the war drags on, Putin's attention and military power have been fixated on Ukraine.
Now some of his post-Soviet allies are expressing frustration with Moscow's lack of aid.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine in February, experts said he was expecting a swift victory and potentially setting off on an effort to restore the Russian Empire or the USSR.
Instead, seven months later, Putin's power over the post-Soviet region may be shakier than ever as his attention and military power remain fixated on Ukraine.
The lack of Russian leadership in Central Asia and the Caucasus, which spans between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, has led to violent border clashes and frustration from Putin's allies in the region, according to a new report published in The New York Times.
Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and even before Putin rose to power, Russia has insisted on maintaining influence over post-Soviet states, according to Taras Kuzio, a professor of political science at the National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy.
"Moscow never truly accepted the verdict of 1991 and has always sought to retain its imperial influence throughout the former USSR," Kuzio wrote in a piece for the Atlantic Council.
Putin's desire for the West to stay out of the former Soviet Union has been clear, especially in Ukraine. One of the reasons Putin gave for invading was the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. He has demanded that Ukraine — considered an aspiring NATO member — not be allowed to join the alliance.
Experts have speculated Putin was driven by a deeper desire: to restore the USSR or the historic Russian Empire, which predated the Soviet Union and at one point or another included Ukraine, Finland, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, among other nations.
But now "evidence of Russia's declining influence can be seen throughout the post-Soviet world," Kuzio said. "On the frontlines in Ukraine, Putin's invasion force is suffering from increasingly obvious manpower shortages that make a mockery of attempts to portray Russia as the world's number two military power."
[Defence UA] The HIMARS missile system has proven itself as an effective weapon in the last three and a half months, having already destroyed hundreds of objects of the russian army, namely warehouses with ammunition, military bases, bridges, crossings, etc.
Last month journalists from The Wall Street Journal managed to gain unique access and communicate with Ukrainian crew of the HIMARS missile system. So, what a typical completion of a combat mission looks like based on this unit.
The crew was tasked with targeting military barracks and a river barge carrying ammunition and tanks at a distance of 50 miles (approximately 80 km).
Six people crammed into the two HIMARS as the commander entered the coordinates into a tablet computer to determine the safest place to launch.
When HIMARS arrives at the launching site, the gunner presses one button to direct the missiles into the sky and another to release them. Overall, it took thirty seconds to launch seven missiles in a row: the missiles had not yet reached the target, and the two missile systems were already returning "to the base".
Ten minutes later, the unit received another task to destroy Soviet missile installations 44 miles (about 70 km) from the base of the unit: a number of missiles were successfully launched to enemy positions.
According to the commander of the unit, Lieutenant Valentyn Koval, in the Kherson direction, HIMARS provides up to 70% of target damage. In particular, four vehicles of his unit destroyed hundreds of russian invaders and "demilitarized" about 20 SAM (surface-to-air missile system) batteries.
[Yahoo] President Joe Biden on Monday told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky the US would provide Ukraine’s armed forces with "advanced air defence systems" and other self-defence support after Russian missile strikes hit a range of civilian targets in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
A White House readout of a phone call between the two leaders said Mr Biden "expressed his condemnation" of the latest Russian attacks and "conveyed his condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured".
Earlier on Monday Mr Biden said in a statement that the US "strongly condemns" the Russian missile strikes which Vladimir Putin’s government unleashed after Ukrainian intelligence services blew up a Russian-built bridge connecting Russian territory with Crimea, the Ukrainian region which Moscow illegally invaded in 2014.
The cruise missile attacks struck numerous targets during rush hour in Kyiv, causing damage and casualties at such places as a public park, a children’s play area and a pedestrian bridge, with at least eight Ukrainian lives lost.
Moldova says that #Russian cruise missiles targeting #Ukraine crossed its airspace, and it has summoned Moscow’s envoy to demand an explanation.https://t.co/3hvqdvwuFB

I would think Moldava would be far out of the way. Are they suggesting the Russians parked a mobile launcher in Easter Europe? Sea based missiles took a round-about way? Or misinformation and mistakes?

So he really wants to overthrown. After Putin, he’s the most loathed dictator in Europe. Everyone in the regions is gunning for him even his own citizens.

[Korrespondent] 23:16 Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilitsa accused Russia of violating sovereignty: “It is unacceptable that three Russian missiles aimed at Ukraine flew over Moldova, creating a threat to civil aviation, and therefore to human lives on the territory of our country. This is a violation of the sovereignty of our state which is seriously contrary to international law."
23:14 Power supply in Lviv has resumed by almost 100%, individual houses remain without electricity - emergency services are working there. Power supply was also resumed in 90% of settlements in the districts of the Lviv region, said the head of the OVA Maxim Kozitsky.
23:11 The European Commission is working to provide Ukraine with about 1.5 billion euros of budget support every month in 2023, Politico writes, citing European officials.
23:09 Biden, in a conversation with Zelensky, promised to provide advanced air defense systems , the White House said.
22:46 This evening, residents of Kiev and the Kiev region reduced electricity consumption by 26.5% compared to a typical autumn day, Ukrenergo reported. The total capacity of electrical appliances that consumers voluntarily did not turn on during this period is equal to the capacity of more than 93,000 electric kettles or 46,000 washing machines. This helped not to overload the operating power grids and allowed the dispatch center of Ukrenergo to balance the power system at a critical moment of the day, the company said.
22:38 Zelensky posted a video of today's shelling of Ukraine:
22:14 Zelensky said that he had a "productive conversation" with Biden: "The main topic of discussion was air defense. Now this is the number one priority in our defense cooperation. America's leadership is very important for Ukraine on the tough position of the G7 and support for our resolution at the UN General Assembly ".
22:10 Zelensky said that an emergency meeting of the G7 is scheduled for tomorrow, and Ukraine is also working on a resolution for the UN General Assembly to condemn Russia.
21:59 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that every ten minutes he receives a message about downed Iranian Shahed drones: "Out of 84 Russian missiles launched against Ukraine, 43 were shot down. Out of 24 Russian drones, 13 were shot down. And even after that, every ten minutes I get message about downed Iranian Shaheeds. Only in the last hours:
16:28 - Shahid is destroyed, Letka region.
17:26 - Kremenchug, Shahid is destroyed.
17:36 - Cherkasy, Shahid is destroyed.
17:40 - Dolgintsevo, Krivoy Rog, Shahid is destroyed.
17:50 - Apostolic, Shahid is destroyed.
And so the whole day. Now as I speak, I continue to receive these messages. Therefore, follow the safety rules and pay attention to the air raid alert. The danger is still there."
21:54 The EU will help Ukraine prepare for winter, said the head of the European Council Charles Michel: "The European Union remains firmly committed to supporting Ukraine in political, financial, military and humanitarian aspects, as well as in the issue of its reconstruction and meeting the needs in preparation for winter ".
21:40 As of 21:00, as a result of rocket attacks throughout Ukraine, 14 people were killed, 97 were injured , the State Emergency Service reported. 1307 settlements remain de-energized in Kyiv (13), Lviv (353), Sumy (766), Ternopil (169) and Khmelnytsky (6) regions.
21:33 Reznikov said that on the issue of negotiations with the West today's shelling, "the Russians did everything for us": "If in recent months, in conversations with partners, we had to look for ways to prevent "fatigue" from Ukraine, now the Russians have done everything for us They have clearly shown that they are deliberately arranging a humanitarian crisis that will hit not only Ukraine, but throughout Europe."
According to the minister, the destruction of life support infrastructure could provoke new waves of refugees: “Hundreds of thousands of those who returned from Europe may be forced to seek refuge there again ... Against this background, it is much easier to explain why we need additional weapons very quickly, primarily air defense and PRO. "Our specialists have proven their skills by shooting down almost half of the missiles and kamikaze drones. By providing the Ukrainian Defense Forces with more assets, the level of threat from the air can be significantly reduced."
"In the coming days, fewer words will be needed during meetings in the Ramstein format and at NATO headquarters. The Russians themselves are doing everything to maximize the list of legitimate targets to neutralize risks," Reznikov stressed.
21:26 Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov reports loud explosions in the city.
21:23 Forbes has calculated that on October 10, Russia fired missiles and drones on the territory of Ukraine in the amount of 400 to 700 million dollars.
21:18 The Polish Foreign Ministry called on its citizens to leave Belarus and refrain from traveling to this country.
21:15 There is no practical military sense in today's large-scale terrorist attacks and they will not affect the ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and their goal is to entail a humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian cities in order to provoke another wave of migration and psychologically break Ukrainians, Yermak said. According to him, what the Russians are doing now is a strategy of forcing negotiations on the terms of the Russian Federation. "We will not submit, because the existence of Ukraine as a state and as a nation depends on our victory. For Ukraine, peace on Russian terms is unacceptable," the head of the President's Office stressed.
"It has been repeated many times that Russia should not win the war. It's time to edit this phrase. Ukraine must win the war. Any other option will encourage Russia to repeat it," Yermak said.
20:58 Zaluzhny published a scheme of Russian missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine (the situation as of 10:20-11:00). The enemy used air, sea and land-based cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, anti-aircraft guided missiles, reconnaissance and strike UAVs of the Shahed-136 type.
The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that the air defense forces and means of the Air Force, the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and anti-aircraft crews destroyed most of the deadly missiles and ammunition: “In conditions of such intensity of strikes simultaneously in all directions, they demonstrated professionalism and dedication. We are forced to repel these attacks by using Soviet-era weapons, which, moreover, we have in insufficient quantities. The security of Ukraine and all of Europe is in the skillful hands of our soldiers."
20:40 The enemy fired 18 missiles across Dnepropetrovsk region today, five of them were shot down by air defense forces. As a result of the blows, four people died, 31 were injured, ten of them were in the hospital, four were in serious condition, said the head of the regional council Nikolai Lukashuk.
20:34 Rolling blackouts in Ukraine may last for several days, said the head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytsky. According to him, a stable electricity supply throughout the country is planned to be restored in a few days, during which additional consumption restrictions will be required. At the same time, he assured that these would be controlled restrictions - "a few hours, no more."
20:32 Kuleba said that none of his Western colleagues talked about negotiations with Russia by phone after today's missile strikes.
20:30 Danilov said that there would be no talk about Ukraine without Ukraine: "I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we have a decision of the National Security and Defense Council, which clearly states that we can no longer negotiate with President Putin. This is impossible."
20:24 Biden said that the United States strongly condemns today's Russian missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine, including Kiev: "They once again demonstrate the extreme brutality of Putin's illegal war against the Ukrainian people ... These attacks further strengthen our intention to support the people of Ukraine Together with our allies and partners, we will continue to sanction Russia for its aggression and work to hold Putin and Russia accountable for their atrocities and war crimes, and provide the support Ukrainian forces need to defend their country and freedom. We once again call on Russia to immediately stop this unprovoked aggression and withdraw its troops from Ukraine."
20:17 Zelensky said that he had a conversation with UN Secretary General António Guterres: "Thanked for the strong condemnation of the Russian massive rocket attack on Ukraine. He informed in detail about the scale and consequences of another bloody crime of Russia. We were unanimous: the world must respond immediately. We discussed the situation at the ZNPP and grain initiative.
20:00 Zelensky said that together with Angolan President Juan Lourenço, he discussed the terrorist rocket attacks on Ukraine by Russia, "we talked about important issues of cooperation within the UN, we are working to ensure that the world takes a clear and tough position in relation to Russian aggression."
19:39 Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda urged to provide Ukraine with more weapons: "Russian cruelty has no limits. Kiev and other Ukrainian cities have again been shelled by the Russian army. They are aimed at city centers, residential buildings, roads at rush hour. This is state terrorism in its purest form . More weapons so that Ukraine can defeat this evil."
19:37 The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the second "big" air alert after lunch on October 10 was primarily announced due to Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones that attacked Kiev and the northern regions of Ukraine from the direction of the Kursk region and Belarus. Nine of these UAVs were destroyed by the air defense forces of the air command Center. The invaders also attacked the east of Ukraine with these drones. Anti-aircraft gunners of the Skhid air command destroyed four more Shahed-136s.
19:31 The SBU reported that Medvedev was put on the wanted list back in March. Also put on the wanted list are other representatives of the Putin regime: Bortnikov, Volodin, Zolotov, Kolokoltsev, Matvienko, Naryshkin, Shoigu, Shchegolev, Patrushev, Zakharova, Konashenkov, etc.

18:45 Representatives of Rosatom are forcing ZNPP personnel to enter into labor agreements with the newly created fake Zaporozhye NPP with a legal address in Moscow. The head of Energoatom and the acting director general of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant Petr Kotin asked the plant employees not to agree to such proposals, not to sign any statements, agreements and contracts. Kotin assured that "Energoatom will always be with you if your disagreement with the occupiers leads to negative consequences for you on their part...

I think Putin has made many errors in judgment and the biggest one was it is his culture that is similar to Hitler's Germany, not open and free Ukraine. Russia is the state of slaves, not Ukraine:
#2
Now this shit’s getting real. The West has staged three terrorist acts in a row, and Russia has responded by designating this as a War on Terror — no different from attacking ISIS.
Shock & Awe has begun. The Russian people are outraged by the Mi6-directed terror attacks and are demanding that Russia take the gloves off.
Tellingly, the new commander of the Russian forces is the universally-admired hardass who led Russian troops in the successful campaigns in Syria and Chechnya. The deadwood and corrupt hacks have been cleared out. Now Russia will get serious and flatten Ukraine the way it flattened the terrorizes in Syria and Grozny.
Already, over the weekend, it was clear the ultimate red line had been crossed. Russian public opinion and media were furious. For all its status as an engineering marvel, Krymsky Most represents not only critical infrastructure; it is the visual symbol of the return of Crimea to Russia.
Moreover, this was a personal terror attack on Putin and the whole Russian security apparatus.
So we had, in sequence, Ukrainian terrorists blowing up Darya Dugina’s car in a Moscow suburb (they admitted it); US/UK special forces (partially) blowing Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 (they admitted and then retracted); and the terror attack on Krymsky Most (once again: admitted then retracted).
Not to mention the shelling of Russian villages in Belgorod, NATO supplying long-range weapons to Kiev, and the routine execution of Russian soldiers.
Enter ‘Commander Armageddon’
The face of Russian Shock’n Awe is Russian Commander of the Aerospace Forces, Army General Sergey Surovikin: the new commander-in-chief of the now totally centralized SMO/CTO.
Questions were being asked non-stop: why didn’t Moscow take this decision way back in February? Well, better late than never. Kiev is now learning they messed with the wrong guy. Surovikin is widely respected – and feared: his nickname is “General Armageddon.” Others call him “Cannibal.” Legendary Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov – also a colonel general in the Russian military – lavishly praises Surovikin as “a real general and warrior, an experienced, strong-willed and far-sighted commander.”
Surovikin has been commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces since 2017; was awarded the title of Hero of Russia for his no-nonsense leadership of the military operation in Syria; and had on the ground experience in Chechnya in the 1990s.
Surovikin is Dr. Shock’n Awe with full carte blanche. That even rendered idle speculations that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov were removed or forced to resign, as speculated by the Wagner group Telegram channel Grey Zone.
It is still possible that Shoigu – widely criticized for recent Russian military setbacks – could be eventually replaced by Tula Governor Alexei Dyumin, and Gerasimov by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Matovnikov.
That’s almost irrevelant: all eyes are on Surovikin.
#4
Shock’ & Awe will likely progress in three stages.
First: Overload of the Ukrainian air defense system (already on).
Second: Plunging Ukraine into the Dark Ages (already in progress).
Third: Destruction of all major military installations (the next wave).
Ukraine is about to embrace nearly total darkness in the next few days. Politically, that opens a completely new ball game.
Considering Moscow’s trademark “strategic ambiguity,” this could be a sort of Desert Storm remixed (massive air strikes preparing a ground offensive); or, more likely, an ‘incentive’ to force NATO to negotiate; or just a relentless, systematic missile offensive mixed with Electronic Warfare (EW) to shatter for good Kiev’s capacity to wage war.
#5
Or Ukraine is destroying the Russian Army and Putin will be executed cause Russian leaders can't lose wars they start and here's another lady Bandonov and his American fascist friends get to face when judgment day comes:

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Let me remind you of the backstory. Ukrainian neo-Nazi Zhorin posted a video of the massacre of civilians. At the same time, he also caustically signed the video "retribution will be." I didn't include the referred to post because of the great mass of Telegram text, which doesn't lend itself to copypasta very well.
This is not the first time this Zhorin boasts of mass executions of civilians. Earlier, he posted and commented on the mass execution of my associates Ilya Kiv from Severodonetsk from the anti-fascist movement "Patriots for Life" that happened in early March.
But let's get back to Kupyansk. When the neo-Nazi realized his screw up (rather, they called from above), he began to edit his posts behind the scenes (this is recorded), writing that this video was allegedly from the phone of a Russian soldier. What is easier? Show full video. Show the phone with the video filmed by this particular phone. But he can't do it.
It should be noted that Russia entered Kupyansk calmly, the population there was pro-Russian, there was no sabotage and sabotage. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation left the city in warm weather, in some places even hot weather.
Yes, and Zhorin's shots are obviously quite fresh - people are dressed in autumn. Or maybe spring? No - the foliage has taken shape on the trees. Moreover, it is clear that on some the foliage turns yellow and even flies around, that is, it exactly corresponds to the current season.
So, Realizing that things were bad and the situation had reached the global level, the neo-Nazis leaked another one and a half seconds of the video of the execution. Most likely these are frames from a large video, from which we managed to scrape together a second and a half, where there are fewer words and no faces.
For credibility, neo-Nazis added one stroke, from which a gullible viewer should have understood that allegedly Russian soldiers were shooting civilians in Kupyansk. THE HATCH ON WHICH THEY BURNED. One of the soldiers who led the bound man has a red bandage (or rather, not even red, but some unnatural crimson color, which I have never seen in this conflict among soldiers, but that’s not the point).
However, even with the naked eye it is well recognized (in dynamics, two or three views, this shows better than a freeze frame) that the red bandage on the leg of the "soldier" walking behind is quite obviously superimposed in the video editor. This is very clearly visible, it "lags behind" the movement. This is a montage, and a cheap and very visually noticeable montage, noticeable even to a non-specialist. Technical means in the analysis of this one and a half second clip, I am sure, can show this moment even more clearly.
The video clearly shows that there is only one bandage, but it either blurs or lags far behind the right leg. Either the branch is red, that is, the red "bandage" over the bush, it gets stuck in the texture.
Well, the control in the head of the Nazi Zhorin from Azov. In the laid out first first video, the legs of the soldiers are visible. The video is translatable
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The strikes of the RF Armed Forces on the energy system of Ukraine - analysis of Rybar
On the morning of October 10, the RF Armed Forces launched massive missile strikes throughout Ukraine. In addition to the headquarters and command posts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Guard, objects of the energy infrastructure of Ukraine were subjected to systemic strikes.
Neither the nuclear power plant nor the hydroelectric power plant was struck by anyone - and this is not necessary in the current case either. On our map, we have displayed all significant substations and thermal power plants with thermal power plants, as well as high-voltage lines 330kV on the territory of Ukraine.
Some of the objects (as well as lines with 750kV substations) are deliberately omitted - otherwise the map would have turned out to be as overloaded as possible. We focused on 330kV - as a result of the blow, they were the first to suffer.
🔻To date, Rybar's team has managed to confirm the following strikes:
▪️Kyiv: Kyiv CHPP-3, Kyiv CHPP-5, Substation 110 Vokzalnaya, Darnytska CHPP — there are massive hits.
But no strikes were recorded at the Brovary SS, Severnaya SS and Kyiv CHPP-6. Either they were not included in the list of objects for fire damage, or the Ukrainian air defense systems partially worked.
▪️Rivne: Substation Rivne 330 kV - a hit on the object caused an overload of 110 kV substations and a power outage in the city.
▪️Khmelnitsky: Substation Khmelnitskaya 330/110 kV - since there is no electricity in the whole city, only the 330 kV substation could be affected, which provoked shutdowns of the Rakovo, Stara, Thermoplast, Ozernaya, Dubovo substations and the Grechany traction substation.
▪️Ternopil: Substation Ternopil 330/110/35 kV - there is no electricity in the whole city, substation 110 kV Zagreblya, Ternopil supporting, Galician, Promyshlennaya, Plotycha, reinforced concrete products are powered from it.
▪️Sumy: Substation 330kV Konotop - the hit caused power outages in the entire region.
▪️Kharkiv: there is no electricity, water, communications in the whole city, the metro has stopped.
This may mean the simultaneous decommissioning of the substation Zalyutino, Kharkovskaya, Losevo, as well as Kharkovskaya CHPP-5, Zmievskaya TPP, Chuguevskaya CHPP-2. But due to the lack of communications in the region, it is not yet possible to confirm the decommissioning of all facilities.
▪️Kryvoy Rog: Kryvoy Rog TPP, one of the largest in Ukraine.
▪️Zhytomyr: Substation Zhytomyr 330/110 kV
▪️Lviv: Lviv CHP-1
▪️Ivano-Frankivsk: Burshtynska TPP
▪️Vinnytsia: train delays are recorded, which may be evidence of the failure of individual traction substations. But there is no information about this in open sources.
🔻The strikes caused shock among the Ukrainian population. The failure of certain key structures of the Ukrainian energy network caused an overload of the entire energy system of Ukraine: nuclear power plants could not cope with the load.
Those who gave the order for a massive fire defeat should take into account that all the damage inflicted can still be restored. If the purpose of the blow was to cause a short-term shock - well, it worked.
But if the goal is to overload the energy system of Ukraine for prolonged panic among the population, a drop in the morale of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and victory on the battlefield, then such actions must be repeated.
❗️It is necessary to break down 750 kV outdoor switchgear at nuclear power plants, responding with symmetrical measures - as was the case with the Zaporozhye NPP. Particular attention should be paid to the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant - there is a direct power line to Poland.
Kyiv said 83 missiles or drones were launched against the country on Monday
Officials accused Russia of using Iranian-made Shahed-136 'suicide' drones
The drones are 'loitering munitions' meaning they hover above targets for hours
Ukrainian soldiers have said while the drones can devastate targets, they are vulnerable to small arms fire, and have coined the drone the 'flying lawnmower'

Ukraine has already shot down a shit ton of them, captured a couple intact and they have not done a ton of damage where they did hit. Back to the drawing board, Mullah Max.
[Jpost] According to a Russian media site, the Defense Ministry said at the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Space Forces, that the Russian Space Forces are conducting experiments with foreign satellites.
The ministry stated, "Particular attention was paid by specialists of the Main Center for Space Situation Intelligence to monitor the composition and condition of orbital groupings in orbits with spacecraft of foreign states."
The Defense Ministry also added that "throughout the year, the on-duty means of the Russian missile attack warning system, along with the specialized means of space control and missile defense systems, detected more than 150 launches of foreign and domestic ballistic missiles and space missiles."
WHAT ARE THE RUSSIAN SPACE FORCES?
According to multiple Russian sources, the Russian Space Forces are a branch of the Russian Aerospace Forces. They provide aerospace warning, air and space sovereignty, as well as other protection-related things for Russia.
They started out in 1967 as the Troops of Anti-Missile and Anti-Space Defense and then reorganized into Space Defense Units in 1982.
The Russian Federation was established in 1992 and in 1997, the Space Force was dissolved as a separate service arm. It was at that point that it was incorporated into the Strategic Rocket Forces along with the Space Missile Defense Forces.
[CoffeeOrDie] You never know what the tide will drag in, especially in wartime.
Photos circulated on Russian social media channels on Wednesday, Sept. 21, showing an unusual, unmanned boat that washed up on a beach near a Russian navy base in the city of Sevastopol, within occupied Crimea. Shaped like a kayak, the vessel is painted in a subdued color scheme and equipped with a white fixture, somewhat resembling a periscope, that holds a forward-facing sensor. In the available photos from social media, there are no visible markings that identify the craft’s nationality.
According to Russian social media posts, the unusual craft washed up on a beach not far from the entrance to Sevastopol’s harbor — roughly 150 miles from coastline under Ukrainian government control.
Ukraine has not yet claimed ownership of the unmanned craft. From the available photos, it’s not clear whether the small boat contained an explosive device. However, Russian authorities reportedly took the drone boat out to sea and blew it up — a decision that subsequently led some open-source intelligence investigators to assume the craft was carrying an explosive warhead.
If the beached mystery craft were, in fact, an armed Ukrainian aquatic drone, it would be another headache for Russian forces on the illegally annexed Ukrainian peninsula. Over the past several months, the expanding reach of Ukrainian missiles and airborne drones have put Russian forces in Crimea on the defensive and forced the transfer of some key Russian military hardware out of the area.
On Tuesday, for example, the British Ministry of Defense reported that Russia had “almost certainly” moved its Kilo-class submarines out of Sevastopol, relocating them to a base in southern Russia beyond the range of Ukrainian missiles and drones.
According to the British Defense Ministry: “This is highly likely due to the recent change in the local security threat level in the face of increased Ukrainian long-range strike capability. In the last two months, the fleet headquarters and its main naval aviation airfield have been attacked.”
On July 31, a Ukrainian drone aircraft detonated a munition at Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol, reportedly wounding six Russian military personnel.
“Due to the attack on the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet, the city should now be considered front-line,” Razvozhayev reportedly said at the time.

[BBC] Ukraine is turning the tide against "exhausted" Russian forces, the head of Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency will say in a speech on Tuesday.
"With little effective internal challenge, his decision-making has proved flawed. It's a high stakes strategy that is leading to strategic errors in judgement."
