Another TsIPSO stuffing about the Kherson direction!

We received a call from our friends on the front line, not from colonels and generals! And from ordinary ordinary soldiers who are in the area of ​​the settlement of Kostromka.

They tell us that there are breakthroughs, but they have been stopped in the Kostroma area.

Losses are not significant on our part.

20:15 Ukraine blocked the exit to the liberated part of the Zaporozhye region

19:55 In the Tula region, enterprises are urgently increasing output for the army

▪️Tula is the weapons capital of Russia, everyone knows, but Tula craftsmen can do much more. The enterprises of the region solve the issues of clothing provision.
▪️On behalf of Governor Aleksey Dyumin, a number of industries are increasing their production capacity for the Ministry of Defense, and some have changed their profile to the production of, among other things, sleeping bags, trunks and gloves.
▪️Regional authorities promise to provide all-round support to these enterprises.

This is what the authorities of all regions should do.

19:55 The enemy has not stopped and is conducting a powerful offensive in the Beryslav direction in the Kherson region. During the fighting yesterday and today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses, but they threw new forces into the battle and continued the offensive.

The 126th Guards Coastal Defense Brigade took the brunt.

18:50 Units, staffed by mobilized military personnel and volunteers, pass intensive combat training at training grounds in the rear areas of a special military operation

◽️At training places, mobilized servicemen consolidate practical skills in conducting combat operations as part of platoons, companies (batteries) in urban or industrial buildings and rough terrain.

◽️After completion of training, these units will begin to carry out tasks for the control and defense of the liberated territories, and will also operate as part of reserve and reinforcement units.

17:39 Destroyed counter offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Davydov Brod

In the afternoon, the Armed Forces made another attempt to attack Davydov Brod. As a result of their offensive, the equipment was burned, and the infantry flew off to Bandera!

17:36 "Teachers who went to work were shot" - residents of the Kharkiv region about the atrocities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Elena, a refugee from the Kharkiv region, could not hold back her tears telling about the ruthlessness of the Nazis

16:41 Voenkor Kots said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered the village of Torskoye, 20 kilometers from the places of deployment of the RF Armed Forces

16:00 In Kherson region, militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine used HIMERS with cassettes for the first time

Sources say this @wargonzoin this direction. We are talking about M26 unguided projectiles with cluster munitions. This is a barbaric weapon. It is worth saying that all modifications of this ammunition are discontinued in the United States of America. It is because of the disastrous consequences of their use. However, as it turned out, Ukraine received them.

15:00 The Russian Defense Ministry reports that a blow was struck on the objects of the Security Service of Ukraine. More than 35 SBU employees, including foreign advisers, were killed as a result of a strike on the building of the SBU administration in Dnepropetrovsk on September 29.

About 40 SBU employees are listed as missing.

14:03 The Ukrainian military tried to carry out an offensive simultaneously on the Nikolaevsky, Andreevsky and Kryovyi Rog tactical directions - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation

14:03 Destruction of positions of two American-made M777A1 155-mm howitzers on the northern outskirts of the village of Preobrazhenka, 09/25/2022.

The shelling of the Ukrainian artillery position was carried out by cannon and rocket artillery of the RF Armed Forces. One enemy howitzer was destroyed, the second was seriously damaged.

14:03 German Minister of Defense Christine Lambrecht, having made a "heroic sortie" to Odessa, was very indignant that she had to sit in a bomb shelter for 45 minutes and listen to Reznikov's groans about how Kyiv needs air defense and missile defense systems.

Then she complained to reporters that the siren scared her, and Reznikov aggravated with stories about the terrible Russian Caliber who were hunting for her.

It should be noted that the Zelensky resort to sophisticated methods of pressure on foreign tourists who travel to Ukraine to demonstrate their "heroism" and exorbitant support.

It is very strange that the Odessa Hotel where the minister went, the representative of the sponsoring country of Ukrainian terrorism, remained intact. It is simply impossible to accuse someone, but this couple of good intentions and peacekeeping.

13:21 During a special operation, you get used to everything. Junior Sergeant Nikita Viger calmly does his job - provides communication between units and command. And this despite the intense shelling and “arrivals”. (Video)

13:21 Heroically hold back defense of Davydov Ford Pskov paratroopers.

The paratroopers said: "We didn’t retreat and we won’t retreat, despite the overwhelming advantage of the enemy in manpower and equipment, as we burned them, we will continue."

10:33 Frontline summary on the morning of 02.10.22

Units of the Ukrainian army are already in Liman. You can't argue with this fact. What's next? The most probable is the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Kremennaya along the highway. This saves the attackers from having to overcome the forest that adjoins the city from the northwest and southwest. There are no water barriers in this area.

In turn, Russian artillery hits the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kupyansk, thus trying to prevent the advance of the Ukrainian army in this direction. And the goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is access to Nizhnyaya Duvanka and Svatov. These are key settlements in terms of supplying the group of allied forces in the Luhansk region.

PMC "Wagner" are trying to attack in the area of ​​Soledar and Bakhmut.

To the north of Gorlovka, allied forces are advancing on the village of Zaitsevo. Southeast storm New York.

In the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to attack on the left bank of the Ingulets and take Davydov Brod.

10:33 In Kyiv dismantled memorial plaque to the Hero of the Soviet Union, General Dmitry Mikhailovich Karbyshev.

Karbyshev is not just a legend: an unbroken man, tortured by the Nazis: who was sitting in a concentration camp, he was turned into an ice column, doused with water in the cold. I was at the site of this concentration camp, and decades later it is a monstrous place.

Karbyshev is, in a sense, an ideal Russian: a Cossack by birth, a nobleman, a participant in the Russian-Japanese, World War I, from March 1918 he joined the Red Army. In the 1940s, the world's largest specialist in military engineering, author of many works.

09:28 Loud in Zaporozhye. This morning, a series of explosions sounded in the regional center, temporarily under the control of the Zelensky regime, from 06:20. Air defense work was also heard.

03:35 Calculations of self-propelled guns "Malka" with perfect accuracy erase the fortified areas of Ukrainian militants into dust

The advantage of the weapon lies not only in its range, but also in firepower and accuracy. Just one shot is enough to destroy the command post of Ukrainian nationalists.Video"News".

01:55 It is reported about strikes on objects in Krivoy Rog.

0:05 At least five explosions thundered in Kherson, presumably, the air defense system went off.

#19  Looks like Putin got the attention of Biden’s puppet masters. They’re eager to talk to him again, according to The Hill:

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday said the U.S. has had private, high-level talks with leaders in Moscow about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, explaining the Biden administration is trying to prevent a “rhetorical tit for tat” between the two countries.

#18  Americans have already turned against the war. By a margin of 57% to 32%, American voters support negotiations ASAP to end the war:

According to a poll conducted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Data for Progress, 57% of likely voters strongly or somewhat support the US pursuing diplomatic negotiations as soon as possible to end the war in Ukraine, even if it requires Ukraine making compromises with Russia. Just 32% of respondents were strongly or somewhat opposed to this.

And nearly half of the respondents (47%) said they only support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine if the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy to end the war, while 41% said they support the continuation of US military aid to Ukraine whether the US is involved in ongoing diplomacy or not.

The Biden administration and Congress need to do more diplomatically to help end the war, according to 49% of likely voters, while 37% said they have done enough in this regard, the poll showed.

"Americans recognize what many in Washington don't: Russia's war in Ukraine is more likely to end at the negotiating table than on the battlefield. And there is a brewing skepticism of Washington's approach to this war, which has been heavy on tough talk and military aid, but light on diplomatic strategy and engagement," said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Quincy Institute

#17  "F--- off is my very diplomatic reply to you," Ukraine's outgoing ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, wrote in response to Musk's tweet.

Melnyk is the Nazi-loving asshole who slandered and insulted Ukraine’s European allies until even the Ukrainians couldn’t tolerate him any longer. Unbelievably, the Ukrainians had sent this Banderite scumbag to Berlin as their ambassador.

Melnyk and his boss aren’t fit to shine Musk’s shoes. This spat may just signify a turning point in Western attitudes toward this war.

#16  Link to the above story

You’d think these hysterical little twats would show at least a modicum of gratitude to the man who, for no gain to himself, single handedly kept the internet up in Ukraine….

Separately — pissing matches aside — if Musk no longer supports Joe Biden’s Forever War with Russia, then you can bet that soon a majority of Republicans will follow Trump and Musk and start calling for a negotiated settlement.

#14  Here's a US right wing hero. ..Tulsi Gabbard

My dear, you need to to better research. Yes, Ms Gabbard achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel after tours in Iraq and Kuwait in the Army Reserve and Hawaii and California National Guard, yes she was homeschooled as a child, yes she was a martial arts instructor, yes she appears on Fox News. But she also is a lifelong Democratic politician who, despite her personal interests, stepped down as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee to campaign for Bernie Sanders in 2016.

She is not a rightwing hero, merely that currently rara avis in Democratic party politics, thoughtful rather than lockstep — which we on the right find refreshing.

#1   Ukraine has not invaded Russia, Ukraine has not killed 1 Russian citizen outside of their invasion Army.
Ukraine does not belong to Russia, the UKR Army is showing the 100% corrupt and evil Russian Army the door out of Ukraine fast and the sooner they just flee back to Russia and go home the safer for them( or defect to UKR because it is likely the Russian soldiers are going to be persecuted inside Russia now).
Look at the resignation on this woman's face, she knows reality now, no more believing the big lie bullshit for her and it should not be for Putin's ass sucking American fascist allies in the GOP:
