Ukraine 'blows up Wagner HQ in Donbas' after Russian propagandist gave away its location and 'revealed mercenary group's owner dubbed ‘’Putin's Chef’’ was there'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Sergei Sreda, a so-called 'war reporter' and Russian propagandist, visited Wagner HQ in Ukraine last week

  • He posted photos on Telegram, saying he was welcomed 'like family' by fighters who told him 'funny stories'

  • But one photo gave away the base's location after Sreda accidentally captured a sign with an address on it

  • Ukraine says it used photo to locate the base and hit it with HIMARS, with strike confirmed on Sunday
Sreda's visit also seems to have coincided with a visit to the frontline by Yevgeny Prigozhin, an oligarch who owns Wagner and has been dubbed 'Putin's chef' because he rose to prominence throwing lavish banquets for the Russian leader.

Unconfirmed reports that have emerged on Telegram claim that Prigozhin has not been seen since seen the strike, and those who know him are in a 'mild panic'.

#2  The Russian speaking separatists learned early on that the Ukrainians monitor the internet for their bullshit, and thus became very aware of electronic warfare being conducted against them.


Costly lessons.

Now, the Russians get to learn the same lessons.

According to him, Russian troops stepped up aviation in the region, continued illegal night searches and detentions, and also increased pressure on locals, including doctors and teachers.

23:17 The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said that the partisans damaged the railway bridge to the south-west of the city, which blocked the way for Russian military trains from the Crimea. The occupiers have not been able to restore it for the second day already.

23:14 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the new sanctions against Russia should stimulate the citizens of the Russian Federation to feel their part of the responsibility for what is happening: "The discussion about visa restrictions in Europe for holders of Russian passports is expanding daily, new states, new politicians are joining it. At the end in the end, this should lead to appropriate decisions... When evil acquires such proportions, people's silence approaches the level of complicity. , which means that you support this. And wherever you are - both on the territory of Russia and abroad - your voice should sound in support of Ukraine, which means against this war."

21:10 In Kherson, the occupiers demand that ambulance workers write statements of consent to work under the auspices of the "new government", which also implies agreement to receive a salary in Russian rubles. In case of refusal, doctors are provided with a temporary work permit with a warning about possible dismissal at any time, according to the GUR MOU.

20:08 Russian propagandists write that the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Wagner PMC base in Popasna.

20:03 The Armed Forces of Ukraine repulsed the assaults of the occupiers in the Slavyansk, Kramatorsk and Avdeevsk directions, at the same time, the Russian troops had partial success in the direction of Bakhmut, the General Staff said in the evening report .

19:54 Residents of occupied Berdyansk reported this morning that an explosion had occurred in the city. Later, the speaker of the Odesa OVA, Sergei Bratchuk, wrote that, according to some reports, "the spirit of Zmeebaevka Island reached Berdyansk." And Vladimir Rogov, a member of the "main council of the administration" of the occupied Zaporozhye region, said in the evening that in the Berdyansk seaport "there was an ignition of fuels and lubricants" as a result of "violation of safety requirements during welding operations."

19:23 On the beach in Zatoka, Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district, Odessa region, three people were blown up by a mine - two were killed, one was wounded, OVA speaker Serhiy Bratchuk said.

18:23 The EU and 42 countries issued a joint statement calling on Russia to immediately withdraw its troops from the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant: "We call on the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its military forces and other unauthorized personnel from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, its immediate environs and all of Ukraine." Among the signatories, except for the EU countries, are Turkey, Moldova, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, the USA, Canada and others.

17:48 The Russians fired at Energodar this afternoon - an employee of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was killed, two more residents of the city were injured, Mayor Dmitry Orlov said.

Gumenyuk noted that as a result of the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Antonovsky bridge, as well as on the railway bridge in Kherson and the Kakhovka bridge, all stationary channels for the supply of heavy weapons of Russian troops from the left to the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region were damaged.

15:40 Poland is working on a concept that will allow Russians to be denied Schengen visas. The country's Foreign Ministry also said that Poland is joining Finland, Estonia and Latvia in an attempt to impose a ban on the issuance of tourist visas for Russians in the EU.

14:11 Vereshchuk announced a "hard winter" for the residents of the Kherson region and called on everyone, especially women with children, to evacuate. According to her, about 50% of the residents have already left the region. If it is not possible to evacuate on your own, the Minister asks you to contact the OVA.

13:38 Podolyak explained why visa restrictions are needed for Russian citizens: “Half a year of the war proved that they do not care about massacres, destroyed cities, nuclear blackmail, Bucha or Mariupol. Only talk about the loss of visas could return to awareness of the war and responsibility. And this the first step... towards a Russian revolt."

13:10 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that the settlement of Udy in the Kharkiv region came under the control of the Russian army.

12:33 Well-known Lebanese researcher and journalist Elijah Magier said that Russia ordered about a thousand strike reconnaissance drones from Iran. According to him, the contract was signed after Tehran supplied Moscow with several drones and a simulator on which Russian officers trained. According to Magier, the first drones have already been used in Ukraine.

12:01 Zaporozhye NPP operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards, Energoatom says. As a result of the occupants' attack on the station, emergency protection went off at one of the three power units, and now it is disabled. The nitrogen-oxygen station, the combined auxiliary building, and the pumping station for domestic wastewater were also seriously damaged.

11:52 Latvian President Egils Levits proposes to annul visas issued to Russians. According to him, first of all, it is necessary to revise the residence permits and visas of those who support the Russian attack on Ukraine: “The residence permits and visas already issued in Latvia should be reviewed. Those who support Russian aggression should cancel them. However, in any In this case, they should not in principle be extended, except in specific, proven special circumstances.”

11:29 Russian pilots are collecting documentary evidence of the orders they received, which they plan to transfer to the international tribunal over the leadership of the Russian Federation in the future, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports. Also, servicemen of the aerospace forces of the Russian Federation are trying to destroy evidence of their participation in the killings of the civilian population of Ukraine. Through bribery and bribes, they are trying to remove information about themselves from combat orders and orders.

10:41 The Armed Forces of Ukraine repulsed the assault of the Russians in the direction of the villages of Disputed and Serebryanka in the Luhansk region. As the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai said, the enemy is still trying to completely capture the Lugansk region, the battles are going on around the clock.

09:48 British intelligence reports that last week Russia's priority was probably the reorientation of units to strengthen southern Ukraine. However, in the Donbass, Russian-backed forces, mostly "DPR" militias, continue to attempt assaults north of Donetsk. Particularly fierce fighting unfolded outside the village of Peski, not far from the Donetsk airport. The Russian attack is likely aimed at capturing the M04 highway - the main approach to Donetsk from the west, analysts say.

09:24 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of August 14th. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Donetsk direction.

  • personnel - about 43,550 (+150) people liquidated,

  • tanks - 1864 (+8),

  • armored combat vehicles - 4126 (+11),

  • artillery systems - 980 (+2),

09:04 On the evening of August 13, the Russians attacked the port infrastructure of Nikolaev with three missiles of the Uragan multiple launch rocket system, OK Pivden reported. Also in the evening, around 20:00, six rockets from the Smerch multiple launch rocket system hit residential areas and industrial facilities in Nikolaev. Several buildings were damaged, one local resident was injured.

08:53 The Russians tried to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ​​the Valley in the Slavic direction, but the Ukrainian soldiers repulsed the assault, the General Staff said in the morning report.

08:45 In the Kharkiv region at night, the enemy launched a missile attack from the territory of the Russian Federation on the Zmiev community, three residents were injured, the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov said. There were no strikes in Kharkiv itself that night, but last night the invaders fired on civilian infrastructure with incendiary ammunition in the Kievsky district, the roofs of outbuildings were on fire.

During the day, the invaders attacked the Bogodukhovsky, Chuguevsky, Kharkov regions. The Russians repeatedly fired on Tsirkuny - houses, garages, outbuildings were on fire.

08:28 In the Donetsk region, two people were killed during the day from enemy shelling - in Krasnohorivka. Ten more people were injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

07:49 The Russian army at night again fired at two districts of the Dnepropetrovsk region - Nikopol and Krivoy Rog. One person was wounded in Marganets, the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, said.

04:24 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that since August 11, Russian troops have increased ground attacks in the Seversk area - this may indicate an attempt by the Russian Federation to divert Ukraine's attention from the south, where Ukrainian troops are conducting effective counterattacks. Russian troops conducted limited ground attacks northwest of Slavyansk, east of Seversk, south and east of Bakhmut. The Russians also conducted a limited ground assault north of Kharkov.

Ukrainian forces continue their attempts to disrupt Russian land lines supporting the Russian army on the right bank of the Dnieper. Delivering ammunition, fuel and heavy equipment sufficient for offensive or even large-scale defensive operations via pontoon crossings or by air is impractical, if not impossible, analysts say.

Crisis of totalitarian media
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin as noted.

Text from the article from RIA Novosti:

Chris Licht, the new head of CNN, the most famous in the US (if not the world), the truth spewer of the Democrats, came to Congress with a tearful request to the Republicans there: come and speak on our air ...

What kind of miracle is this? But the real miracle lies elsewhere. It turns out that the person in question is trying to save CNN in this way. At the beginning of the year, it turned out that the channel had lost 90 percent of its audience. Yes, this is not even a miracle, but the surest sign of the end of the world. Or at least the end of democracy - in the US and among its allies.

Some 40+ years ago, CNN was the unattainable model of television journalism. The idea of ​​continuously broadcasting news in real time and around the world seemed brilliant. State leaders received information first from CNN, then from official reports. The war in Iraq (the first of which was in 1991) was broadcast live, as well as many other wars. There were parody thrillers on this subject. For example, in the novel "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Raymond Benson (one of the successors of the immortal James Bond series), a channel is described that broadcasts news about a nuclear weapons crisis a few seconds before this news occurs, because the channel owner himself organized. Angry, but a compliment.

And now - the complete death of the gods. The figure of 90 percent was recorded in the first week of January, compared with the same week of the previous year: then there were 5.4 million viewers. Now the average audience stuck to the screen at any given moment has settled at 640,000 people. And if so, advertising has declined - for the first time in a long time, annual revenues from it are below one billion dollars.

Convulsions began. The channel was merged with Warner Media, the idea was put forward to open a streaming service, the idea was canceled, the management changed, the aforementioned Chris Licht was brought in. And this man finally said the main words: it's time to be honest and objective. For this, he went to Capitol Hill to recruit Republicans. The channel must change.

You may have heard about some of these changes. Or rather, see them. We are talking about a short TV show on the topic of how daily caravans of cars go to the liberated territories of Ukraine from the western Ukrainian lands - supposedly on business, but those traveling are taking things, children and relatives with them. And there is almost no reverse flow in the frame, because there really is none. And yes, this is a CNN story.

Just yesterday it seemed that the global "empire of lies" was impenetrable. What we saw on the example of the same Ukrainian operation. Someone, somewhere, is inventing a reality that is exactly 180 degrees from the truth: Ukraine is heroically resisting the invaders who are destroying the civilian population, and is moving from victory to victory. Who comes up with this and where - in Kyiv or Washington - is a difficult question, but CNN and many more of its American and European counterparts did not deviate from this myth at first.

This was not an isolated case, but a system - and a long one. It was on CNN that you were supposed to get true judgments on a variety of issues - in fact, on all issues without exception. About global warming, in which a person is to blame, about the legitimacy of this or that government, about feminists and transgender people. They called this news, but in some mysterious way, such news turned into a round-the-clock brainwashing of the entire creed of real democrats and globalists. And washing global.

The wall seemed impenetrable. Including because it was protected by censorship (massive stub of alternative views, in particular, foreign broadcasting of Russia Today). Something that would never have sounded on CNN (namely, a different opinion), as if it did not exist.

What happened to this round-the-clock plant for imposing the right position? Why did the most hardened and venerable character of the "empire of lies" reach for objectivity? Is this a special case (let's say bad management on one channel) or something more?

Of course, there are explanations, there are too many of them, and they are given with vengeful fury by the Republicans - those wrong Americans on whom CNN has long declared war. It turns out that the TV channel tried too hard in this war. And now he gets: "Well, who would have thought that self-confident and gloomy presenters, spouting lies, hatred, violence and propaganda, would not be sold like seeds?" Or: "CNN's only chance to survive is to rebuild its reputation with the audience, which is very difficult to do,

That is, the reasons for what is happening are purely internal. The channel played out, destroying Republican opponents and dragging Democrats led by Joe Biden to power - here the Republicans were offended, and the Democrats became disillusioned with Biden and decreased in number. So? But there are more serious explanations for what is happening. Such: there are areas of activity that stand on the trust of the public. For example, these are news media, medicine (as well as science, law enforcement and much more). After what doctors have done to America - we are talking about a "covid reset" - supported by such democratic media, they have nothing to hope for.

There is something here. It seems that the two fraternal and allied lobbies got carried away, believing that when they are together, there is no reception against them, and on a global scale. Total censorship on key information resources, including social networks, was supposed to allow democratic orderlies to do whatever they want with people, in fact, to demoralize and destroy entire societies, putting them in a "covid concentration camp". But people didn't like it and, among other things, they stopped watching CNN.

Of course, this is only one swallow, which does not guarantee spring. But she's already gone. The rest of the "empire of lies" is not necessarily losing its audience, and in Europe, unlike the United States, this very empire looks pretty solid. But CNN is too famous a symbol of the totalitarian mass media for its failure to go unnoticed.

Adds Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The crisis of confidence in CNN is not a local fluctuation, but part of a systemic crisis of confidence in public bodies of American government on the part of ordinary Americans and, in particular, Republican Americans, which is what American sociology has been steadily fixing since 2020, when the position of the liberal-totalitarian mass media turned out to be clearly opposed to public opinion on a number of issues and the masses saw that this was not "an independent and free supply of news", but mass propaganda and manipulation of consciousness, which led to an explosive drop in ratings and views, which were intercepted by various alt media.Only the most gullible citizens can believe that CNN will now change and begin to tell the objective truth.

Why pay for Cable for FAKE, Politically skewed and tainted NEWS?

When a person can easily get the FACTS collected and both sides of an issued presented and vetted by 1,000's on the internet?

WAIT FOR IT
With the Liberal-Socialist MSM losing viewers by the MILLIONS. I'll stick it out there, and predict.

The MSM will likely be asking the LSD's to make another run at setting up a Ministry of Truth to control the ISP's and Internet sites, that is poking gaping holes in their reporting and or absents of reporting.
