Difficult to find the film online, since Aita is also the internet acronym for Am I the Asshole. Another film by the same name exists, which was made in 2001.
The film appears to be about human trafficking in Yakutia.
The Yakut are apparently yet another Turkic people, this one based in Siberia.
[Regnum] The Russian Ministry of Culture has revoked the distribution certificate for the film “Aita” directed by Stepan Burnashev, as follows from the data of the register of film distribution certificates.
“The rental certificate has been revoked in accordance with the order dated September 25, 2023,” the registry materials say.
The premiere of “Aita” took place back in December 2022. The film was included in the competition program of the Winter Festival, Burnashev received the festival award for best director's work, and the leading actor Innokenty Lukovtsev received the festival award for best actor. The film collected more than 25 million rubles at the box office.
On September 19, it was reported that the film was removed from Russian video services. Roskomnadzor told reporters that they had identified destructive information in the film that contradicts the principles of the unity of the peoples of Russia, namely, inequality of individuals based on nationality. The director responded by saying that he was pursuing exactly the opposite goals.
On September 26, the head of Yakutia, Aisen Nikolaev, spoke on local television in support of the authors of “Aita” and the film “The Candidate,” also shot by Yakut filmmakers. In this film, one of the main characters is a man dressed as a woman, and the film was reportedly rejected from distribution due to suspicions of LGBT propaganda. A mistake was made; the authors did not promote nationalism or non-traditional values, Nikolaev said.
The head of Yakutia, Aisen Nikolaev, stood up for the Yakut directors who made the films “The Candidate” and “Aita,” blocked by the Ministry of Culture and Roskomnadzor. According to Nikolaev, he knows Dmitry Shadrin and Stepan Burnashev very well, they are both patriots.
“In principle, they are not capable of making any films about non-traditional values or about nationalism,” – said the head of the region during a live line on the NVK Sakha channel.
Nikolaev emphasized that now in Yakutia not only films are being made “for domestic consumption”, but an entire film industry is being created. He expressed confidence that Yakut cinema not only took a step into the Russian market, but also realized that it could be in demand.
He did not rule out that it is the suddenly discovered distribution potential of Yakut films that provokes restrictions on access to them.
“The laws can be interpreted in different ways, but if you ban the film “The Candidate,” then tomorrow you should also ban “Gentlemen of Fortune” or “Hello, I’m your aunt,” — the head of the republic gave a not entirely logical example.
Nikolaev added that he spoke with the directors on the phone and reassured them with the phrase “don’t worry.”
“You just need to be, you know, somewhat more focused, understand where they can get caught, what mistakes they make, and do everything to avoid making them, and move forward, and your native republic will help. We don’t abandon our own,” – concluded the head of the region.
The film “The Candidate,” with a man dressed as a woman, did not receive a distribution certificate; signs of LGBT propaganda were revealed in it. At the same time, according to the Afisha portal, Yakut cinemas are currently carrying out shadow distribution of the film.
The film “Aita” received a distribution certificate and even appeared on Russian screens, collecting the most of all Yakut films – 26.4 million rubles. But last week the film was excluded from the libraries of online cinemas because Roskomnadzor found in it “destructive information that contradicts the principles of the unity of the peoples of Russia.”
“The film demonstrates the inequality of individuals based on nationality: the positive aspects of heroes of one nationality are contrasted with the emphatically negative traits of heroes of another nationality,” – emphasized in the supervisory department.
Let us note that national problems have always been quite acute in Yakutia; it was in the capital of the republic that one of the very first high-profile national conflicts in the USSR took place between Russian and Yakut students. It is a little symbolic that today, September 26, Yakutia celebrates Statehood Day of the Republic of Sakha. Moreover, “Sakha” is the self-name of the Yakuts; officially the republic has had this name since 1992. It is worth noting that Russian authorities are extremely sensitive to matters such as a Yakut uprising. According to RefWorld.org, the Soviets collectivized Yakut agriculture, beginning in 1922. Yakuts responded with an armed rebellion which was put down by NKVD troops, ending in 1927.
I have a number of links on stories on this very matter -- somewhere -- and when I find them I will repost this article.

Turn off the sound. Video of the Il-76 plane crash in Mali appeared on the Internet
[Regnum] The crash of an Il-76TD cargo plane at the airport in Gao in Mali was caught on video; the footage was published on September 27 by the AviaNews Telegram channel.
Officially, the plane belonged to the Malian Air Force, the video description says.
The plane crashed on September 23 during landing. The footage shows that he rolled off the runway, continuing to move at high speed. Then he tilted and fell, after which a fire started.
As Regnum reported , rescuers went to the crash site. There were no reports of injuries.
In October 2022, a Su-25 aircraft of the Malian armed forces crashed at Gao airport, killing one person.

You can see the tires on the right hand side of the aircraft blow sequentially on landing.
Chinese tires? Remember this headline: "Cheap Chinese tyres bought by corrupt officials’ may be to blame for Russian trucks and armoured vehicles getting stuck in the mud in Ukraine"

It will be interesting to see how General Valery Gerasimov uses the 25th Army.
According to the data I have the Soviet 25th Army was formed in the Far East Military District in June, 1941, consisting of the Soviet 39th Rifle Corps and six unidentified rifle divisions.
The 25th Army spent the great bulk of its time in the backwater of the Far East military district as a border guard unit, until it participated in the Harbin-Girin Offensive Operation that defeated Japan.
According to defense-ua.com, the 25th Army consists of 67th Motorized Rifle Division, 164th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, 11th Separate Tank Brigade, and the 73rd Artillery Brigade.
[LB] According to British intelligence, it is unlikely that the Russian Federation will go on the offensive in the coming weeks, instead it will strengthen at the front.
by Iryna Lysohor
In mid-September, the Russian Federation most likely sent its new 25th combined army to war for the first time. This formation started moving to Ukraine from the end of August.
There is evidence that units of two of the 25 maneuver components of the 25th Army - the 67th motorized rifle division and the 164th separate motorized rifle brigade - are fighting at the front in the area west of Severodonetsk and Kreminnaya, along the border between Donetsk and Luhansk regions. This is stated in the report of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
"Since the beginning of the invasion, Russia has only rarely kept an army group inactive that could potentially become the basis of a new major offensive strike," the British noted.
They suggested that Russia was unlikely to go on the offensive in the coming weeks as the 25th Army deployed to reinforce the stretched front line.
On September 13, the British Ministry of Defense announced that the Russians had prematurely committed the 25th Army to the war . At first they planned to use it in December.
The 25th combined army existed during the Soviet Union and was active during the Second World War. In 2023, the Russians decided to restore the formation with this name. As early as August, British intelligence warned of Russian preparations for reinforcements by two large formations, one of which was the 25th Army.

Putin is more in fear from the West than the East. Interesting, that Kievian Russia was destroyed by the Mongols who sat on the place for centuries. Catherine the Great was cleaning out the remains as late as the 18th Century. Given how built the Chinese forces have become, it could be a cake walk to reestablish the old 'historic' boundaries.

^Yet, at present - at least, Chinese only interested in trade. Whereas "the West" invented a new quasi-religious ideology and is eager to enforce it on the heathen (why am I thinking 15th - 19th century Europeans and Christianity?)

The "Army" consists of 15,000 mostly of mobilized infantry. An under strength and under equipped force that is not something you'd want to throw into the artillery heavy Bakhmut battle.

I’ve been reading about Han Chinese successfully infiltrating colonists at the eastern end of Russia for thirty years or so without opposition from Moscow. Why on earth would they go kinetic at this stage of the proceedings?
Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 22:37 More than $470 million in charitable contributions from more than 110 countries has already been collected through the United24 platform, Zelensky said in an evening video message.
22:28 The Bulgarian Parliament approved the sending of anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine. The ammunition is defective and over 30 years old, but Ukraine can use it as spare parts. For more details, see the article Why the Armed Forces of Ukraine have faulty missiles .
21:32 The US Treasury has imposed sanctions against a transnational network helping with the production of drones in Iran. They are involved in the procurement of critical parts for the Iranian drone program.
20:46 A video of new Iranian kamikaze drones Shahed-136 OWA has appeared online. It is claimed that the upgraded version of the drones has received new engines that can provide better speed, range and reduce the noise of the UAV. More details in the material Now not mopeds .
19:28 The United States and Ukraine agreed to jointly, under the control of the Pentagon, identify and prevent corruption crimes related to the supply of American weapons, a corresponding memorandum was signed by representatives of the US Department of Defense and NABU.
18:37 During the day, the Russians shelled Konstantinovka, Toretsk and Kalinovka in the Chasovoyarsk community of the Donetsk region. According to preliminary data, the enemy used guided and high-explosive bombs and tanks. One person was killed and four were injured, the prosecutor's office said.
17:50 The Bulgarian parliament has finally agreed to send faulty S-300 missiles to Ukraine, as well as ammunition for automatic small arms. Bulgaria does not have the capacity to independently repair these missiles, so it gives them to Ukraine as faulty ones.
17:29 The Grand Chamber of the Swiss Parliament did not allow the re-export of its weapons to warring countries, including Ukraine. The Small Chamber of Parliament proposed to allow the sending of military equipment to a warring country if it thus exercises the right to self-defense.
16:48 Scholz is blocking the supply of Taurus missiles to Ukraine due to fears that German personnel will then have to be sent to help maintain them, and Moscow will regard this as a direct confrontation with Berlin, The Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources. According to the newspaper, the three-party coalition government of Germany has already “approved the delivery in principle,” but it is being blocked by the chancellor, who believes that a parliamentary vote will be required to send military personnel to the combat zone.
At the same time, some sources in Germany say that the supply may still be approved if the United States sends similar weapons to Ukraine. In addition, Scholz is afraid that Ukraine will use missiles on Russian territory. German officials said that even if the Taurus was approved, the missiles' range would be reduced.
16:11 Podolyak stated that the purpose of disseminating information about the appearance of Wagnerites in the Bakhmut direction is to briefly try to block the news about the liberation of Kleshcheevka and Andreevka by the Ukrainian army and the destruction of the main combat-ready Russian formations. According to him, the media effect of this event is greater than its real significance, because no PMC Wagner exists anymore.
“Today there are only former militants of a terrorist group who went somewhere: to Africa, to the civil-criminal life of the regions of Russia - or signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and agreed to play the last chord, briefly plugging the Russian hole with themselves,” emphasized the adviser to the head of the OP.
15:36 In Rostov-on-Don, a new trial has begun against the defenders of Mariupol from the Azov regiment. According to advisor to the mayor of Mariupol Pyotr Andryushchenko, 24 Ukrainians are charged with “violent seizure of power” and “participation in a terrorist organization.”
14:57 There are about 500 Wagner troops on the territory of the Eastern Group of Forces, said the speaker of the Eastern Group of Forces Ilya Yevlash.
14:24 GUR sources confirmed to Babel that mercenaries from the Wagner PMC appeared again near Bakhmut. At the same time, intelligence clarified that these are individual fighters or former Wagnerites who signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Now they are present in different directions.
13:35 Wagner PMC mercenaries returned to the Bakhmut area, CNN reports citing the Ukrainian military. According to one of them, the Wagnerites “quickly changed commanders and returned here” to compensate for the lack of personnel. "Russia gathered troops from nearby areas and moved them here. They don't have many personnel left here," the military man said.
13:19 The “new shift” of Russian military personnel announced more than two months ago has not appeared in Belarus, reports the Belarusian Gayun monitoring group. Analysts note that the deployment of a regional group of troops and the presence of Russian military personnel in the Republic of Belarus was not due to the protection of the “union state” from external threats, but to the need to train mobilized Russians. If a new wave of mobilization is announced in the Russian Federation, one can expect a new escalation of threats to the “union state” as a pretext for the transfer of Russian mobilized to the Republic of Belarus for training, Gayun predicts.
12:27 Zelensky said following a daily conference call that Ukrainian troops are moving forward in the Donetsk direction, and “there are other plans that are being implemented.” The president also instructed to “find additional solutions to stop the terror” of Russians in the Kherson region.
11:44 The Guardian writes, citing a report from the Ukrainian government, that Ukraine allegedly invited its allies to launch missile attacks on Shahed drone production facilities in Syria, Iran and Russia. Kyiv stated that it agreed to carry out strikes itself if it was given the necessary long-range weapons. This proposal was contained in the Shahed component report, which was submitted to the G7 countries. It notes that most drone parts are made in the USA, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Japan and Poland.
11:25 Lithuania has transferred sets of radar equipment to the Ukrainian Navy, Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas said. According to him, they will strengthen Ukraine’s ability to monitor the sea and better understand the situation.
11:09 The commander of the operational-strategic group of troops of Tavria, Alexander Tarnavsky, announced “good news” in the Tavria direction. According to him, “our soldiers are steadily advancing and destroying Russians.”
11:02 British intelligence believes that the involvement of the newly created Russian 25th Army in the battles by separate units as reinforcements reduces the likelihood of a new large-scale offensive by the Russian Federation in the near future. Analysts note that since the invasion began, Russia has only occasionally had an uncommitted army-sized force that could form the basis for new large-scale offensive actions. Since the 25th Combined Arms Army has clearly begun to be deployed in “pieces” to strengthen the stretched front line, a new coordinated offensive by Russian forces in the coming weeks becomes less likely, intelligence predicts.
10:35 After the Ukrainian attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, “a certain confusion” can be traced in the actions of the fleet leadership, said Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the Southern Defense Forces. She explained that the Russians’ use of launch vehicles after this attack was “unsystematic and senseless: they went out, entered, maneuvered along unclear routes with unjustified fuel consumption, without accomplishing tasks.”
In her opinion, in this way the enemy was trying to demonstrate “that control exists, leadership is in place and the fleet can be combat-ready.” At the same time, there is now a lull in Russian naval activity: “Ships are now hiding more, looking for safe places to base and stay in the Black Sea. And we are not seeing any exercises required to maintain the combat capability of the fleet.”
10:23 The SBU detained two Russian agents who were correcting the attack on Kiev on September 21. On the eve of this date, they sent their curators the coordinates for a strike on the capital. The main targets of the enemy attack were life support facilities, including energy generating enterprises.
09:34 On Sunday, October 1, a minute of silence will be held throughout Ukraine at 9:00. On this day, Ukraine will celebrate the day of its defenders and defenders for the first time on a new date, Zelensky said. “This Sunday, for the first time, all of Ukraine will stop for a minute to honor in silence the feat of our people who died defending our state and Ukrainians. Let this become our new tradition,” the president emphasized.
09:02 In the Zaporozhye region over the past 24 hours, as a result of Russian shelling, one person was killed in Orekhovo, one was wounded in Primorske, said the head of the OVA Yuriy Malashko.
08:37 At night, the Russians fired heavy artillery at Nikopol and the Mirovskaya community of the Dnepropetrovsk region, said the head of the OVA Sergei Lysak. Two people were injured, a private enterprise, six private houses, cars, gas pipelines and power lines were damaged.
08:32 The Russians are trying to build a direct railway connection with Mariupol, Volnovakha and Donetsk and have already begun construction of a railway bridge near the village. Granite across the Kalmius River, said Advisor to the Mayor of Mariupol Pyotr Andryushchenko. According to him, if successful, this will allow the existing Mariupol-Aslanovo-Kalchik-Volnovakha branch to be included in direct communication with Taganrog and Rostov-on-Don.
“In practice, this is not only a global solution to the issue of military and civilian logistics, but also a radical reduction in dependence on railway traffic via the Crimean Bridge,” Andryushchenko noted. He recalled that the railway connection from Volonovakha goes west through Rozovka-Melitopol to Crimea, and north to Donetsk.
08:24 At night in the Moscow region, explosions were heard at the Chkalovsky military airfield, after which a strong fire started, Russian public pages write. Previously, Ukrainian intelligence reported an attack on this airfield by “unknown saboteurs.” The An-148 and Il-20 aircraft are based on it, intended for reconnaissance and transportation of high-ranking officials of the Russian Federation, including “doomsday planes”.
08:05 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of September 27:
personnel - about 276,990 (+320) people,
tanks - 4675 (+3),
armored combat vehicles - 8950 (+4),
artillery systems - 6337(+38),
MLRS - 792 (+0),
air defense systems - 534 (+1),
aircraft - 315 (+0),
helicopters - 316 (+0),
UAV of operational-tactical level - 4948 (+24),
cruise missiles - 1529 (+0),
ships/boats - 20 (+0),
submarines - 1 (+0),
automotive equipment and tank trucks - 8792 (+29),
special equipment - 927(+2).
07:26 Over the past 24 hours, 26 military clashes took place at the front, the General Staff reported in its morning report . In the Avdeevsky direction, the Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the Severny area, in the Maryinsky direction - in the Marinka area of the Donetsk region, in the Zaporozhye direction - in the area south of Novodarovka, Zaporozhye region. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their offensive in the Melitopol and Bakhmut directions.

[Korrespondent] Ukraine is developing its counteroffensive in the south of the country, where the main challenge is to break through the defense line built by the Russian occupiers.
The Russian defense line in the south of Ukraine is called the largest defensive structure in Europe since the Second World War. And yet, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already successful in breaking through such a line.
What is the Russian line of defense?
The Russians began building defensive structures in October 2022, after a successful counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkov and Kherson regions.
As a result, in the south of Ukraine they managed to create a defensive zone hundreds of kilometers long.
“The Russians approached the engineering and fortification equipment in the southern direction quite competently. This multi-component defense line consists of a large anti-tank ditch that cannot be crossed by armored vehicles. Then there is a line of so-called “dragon teeth” made of concrete pyramids in three to five rows. And between this there are mine-explosive barriers. And only after that there is a direct line of trenches and trenches,” notes Anton Muraveinik, head of the analytical department of the Come Back Alive Foundation.
Everything that goes in front of the main line of reinforced (sometimes concrete) trenches is called the “forefield”. It should delay the advance of Ukrainian forces. The “forefields” are mined as much as possible - these are huge impassable areas that must be overcome in order to get to the main lines of defense.
At the same time, there are already Russian positions in this zone, but rather in the form of “fox holes” - systems of small trenches and dugouts.
The maps show that the Russians dug in, for example, the village of Ocheretovatoye and the city of Tokmak, which is one of the strategic targets of the offensive of the Ukrainian forces.
THE BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING
And despite all this, the Ukrainian army managed to pass the “forefield” in the area of the village of Rabotino and break through the first line of defense of the Russians.
The day before, the Tauride group of troops said that we should soon expect “good news in the Zaporozhye direction.”
“Entering operational space can be considered a breakthrough of the entire line of defense that the Russians had been digging for nine months. And access to operational space in the Zaporozhye direction is only possible somewhere in the Tokmak area... It’s probably not worth talking about a big breakthrough yet. We can say that the first lines of continuous defense, which the Russians opened almost from Vasilyevka to Volnovakha, have been passed.
We are now opening the last line in the Novoprokopovka area, in the Rabotino area. The last three or four days have been a very painstaking and difficult work of our assault groups and commanders who carry out these tactical tasks in this direction. They led to quite serious problems for the Russians. We have already opened this last line and have already entered the north of Novoprokopovka, transferring part of Verbovoy to the gray zone. There are no Russians in most of the village itself: we semi-surround it. Further movement in these directions will give us the opportunity to move along the line of defense - not a continuous one. These are Russian focal garrison fortifications. You can maneuver between them. They can be semicircled, encircled,” notes military expert Roman Svitan.

[RIA] Apparently, foreign puppet masters are pessimistic about Ukraine’s prospects on the battlefield, and therefore the command was given from overseas for the final robbery in order to grab the last at least somewhat fatty pieces. We are talking about the allocation by Washington of 522 million dollars, which will be spent on strengthening the stability of the Ukrainian energy system: 422 million will be allocated in the form of financial tranches, but in order to receive the remaining hundred million, Kiev will have to almost literally take off its shirt.
Of the package of ultimatum demands, two stand out in particular.
Firstly, Ukraine must, no later than the end of October, create a supervisory board for the Ukrainian GTS Operator company , as well as develop and approve its charter. Incredibly independent Kyiv has already taken the lead and, by order of the government, changed the owner of the gas transport monopoly. The company "Main Gas Pipelines of Ukraine", which owned a share in the authorized capital of OGTSU, transferred its assets to the Ministry of Energy by order, as reported by a representative of the Ukrainian government in the Verkhovna Rada on its page .
Let’s take a step back and explain what is actually hidden behind the beautiful formulations of the corporate governance reform of the key and one of the last profitable companies in Ukraine.
The supervisory board is an invention within the Western model of business organization. In the post-Soviet space (and in Ukraine in particular), the supreme governing body is the board of directors. It should be noted that Kiev, despite the loud assertions that Ukraine is Europe, in every possible way avoided close embraces with Western businessmen, urging them only to invest, and keeping the profits for themselves.
The formation of a supervisory board wrests control over the gas transportation system from local directors, and instead, external players will receive full power. It is these people, formally elected by the board of shareholders, but in fact appointed according to a list sent down from Washington, who will develop and implement the company’s development strategy, as well as protect the rights of shareholders. If anyone doesn’t understand: the foreign lord will strictly ensure that the local population regularly pays the rapidly growing bills, because OGTSU not only pumps gas in transit from Russia to Europe, but also ensures its delivery to household and industrial consumers within the country.
Previously, the Naftogaz company was reformed according to a similar scheme , and, as you might guess, four of the supervisory board of six members accidentally turned out to be citizens of the EU and the USA .
As for the company "GTS Operator of Ukraine", its placement under total external management was prepared in advance; moreover, the authors played out the long-proven scheme as if by note. All year, the Ukrainian media space has been pumped with messages that the Ukrainian government is incompetent and corrupt.
For example, an independent European auditor not long ago published the data of an audit, which found that $18 million, which, according to papers, was allocated to pay for construction work by foreign contractors, disappeared without a trace in the Ukrenergo company . There were many such stuffing, and they formed the necessary emotional background and prepared the ground for the current processes.
The second, even fatter, lot of this transaction was prepared using exactly the same scheme.
A non-negotiable condition for the allocation of the entire volume of financial assistance is the creation of the Energoatom joint-stock company , and if at that moment it seemed to you that you had already heard this name, then you didn’t. We are talking about a still state-owned company, which manages all nuclear power plants in Ukraine, and they, in turn, generate about 40 percent of the country’s total electricity, including ensuring export flows to the West.
In early August, Energoatom also became involved in a high-profile corruption scandal. It became known that the company’s management spent almost $16 million to meet the needs of the Zaporozhye NPP in the current year 2023 . The same station Rosatom."
Kiev, whose budget is officially more than half made up of Western financial aid, is so desperately in need of money to maintain its military-political pants that there is not the slightest doubt that Washington’s demands will be met. For whoever pays for dinner is the one who dances with the girl.
As a result, by the end of this year, the United States, with active auxiliary pressure from the European Union, will completely legally receive full control over the two main - and last - energy assets of Ukraine. As a result of this game played, the United States will not only be able to turn off the valve to inconvenient countries like Hungary. In addition to collecting money from the significantly thinned population and making profits for transit, the main switch of the country will also pass into the right hands.
The statement of Advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Energy Elena Zerkal fits very harmoniously into this picture . According to her, Ukrainian thermal power plants, which are responsible for providing the country with heat during the cold season, are only 30 percent ready for the heating season. We are talking about implementing the schedule of preventive repairs. She added that the nuclear sector is 70 percent ready, and power distribution networks are almost 100 percent ready.
Now let's watch our hands.
Even in mild winter conditions, the population of Ukraine, lacking central heating, will begin to switch en masse to electric heating devices. There are no guarantees that Russia will not launch new attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, that is, nuclear power plants, which traditionally are not the focus of the Russian Aerospace Forces , will become the only source of electricity. As well as natural gas, with which you can cook borscht and even heat the kitchen by turning on the burners on the stove. And both of these resources no longer belong to Ukraine.
It must be admitted: the operation of exchanging energy pearls for glass beads was carried out brilliantly.

I can see why the Russians are horrified. Adding outside directors to a board appointed by oligarchs promotes openness. The Kremlim operates in the shadows.
Other items include transparency, rule of law, anti-corruption measures and meeting international standards required for EU membership.
The reforms focus on the functioning of the Supervisory Boards of state-owned businesses, anti-corruption bodies (the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office, National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, National Agency for Corruption Prevention, etc.), the High Council of Justice, and the judiciary in general.
Changes in the work of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence and all law enforcement agencies are also listed as one-year priorities.

Burisma was a Russian puppet cutout created by the puppet Yanokovych regime to convert Russian gas money into Ukrainian political influence and continued dependence on Russian natural gas. That's why the successor Poroshenko administration was investigating it.
This year Ukraine will produce enough natural gas to use over the winter w/o imports.

[KavkazUzel] Two people, including the head of the logistics department of the Levashinsky police department, were killed in the shootout, and several more people were wounded. The police put the suspect on the wanted list.
Today, at approximately 17.30 Moscow time, a shootout occurred in the village of Levashi. According to preliminary information, two were killed and several people were injured. Among the dead is a police officer, the head of the rear of the Levashinsky police department, the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan reported today in its Telegram channel.
A 26-year-old resident of the village of Levashi, Bagaudin Gusengadzhiev, is wanted on suspicion of committing a crime, the report states. It also says that the participants in the incident fled in four cars, three of them without license plates - Vesta, Toyota RAV 4 and Lexus and a Toyota 200 with license plates.
“The Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on May 31, the head of the village of Rubas, Gadzhikurban Bayrambegov, was found shot dead. On the same day, local resident Taibov confessed to the murder and surrendered to the police. He explained his actions as a conflict over real estate. According to the suspect, the head of the village “did not provide documents” for the house, claiming that the house was not registered with him, and later Taibov “found out that he had transferred my houses to another person.” “And so, after much torment, I decided to take such a step, I shot him,” Taibov said in a video recording published by the investigation.

[EngMilRu] Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (27 September 2023)
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation.
In South Donetsk direction, the Yug Group of Forces' units, avaation and artillery repelled ten attacks of AFU 54th, 93rd Mechanised, 59th Mechanised Infantry, 79th Air Assault, and 5th Assault Brigades' assault groups near Spornoye, Kleshcheyevka, and Nevelskoye (Donetsk People's Republic).
The enemy losses were up to 390 servicemen killed and wounded, four tanks, nine infantry fighting vehicles, seven motor vehicles, and two U.S.-manufactured M777 artillery systems.
One ammunition depot of the AFU 31st Mechanised Brigade has been destroyed near Zarya (Donetsk People's Republic).
In Zaporozhye direction, units of the Russian grouping of troops, aviation, artillery, and heavy flamethrower systems have repelled one attack by the 71st Jaeger Brigade of the AFU close to Verbovoye (Zaporozhye region).

The Norwegian judge heads a three-person Commission of Inquiry, which was created by the Human Rights Council to investigate violations committed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In its first full report published in March, the team determined that Russian authorities had committed "a wide range of war crimes."
Mose said at the time that the commission was aware of accusations of genocide, including the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to areas under Russian control, and vowed to investigate.

The following UN Human Rights Council investigation article was also submitted for publication. It also never showed up. I am concerned that this site is turning into a pro-Russian echo chamber where unflattering articles are deleted.
Dr Alice Jill Edwards, the UN special rapporteur on torture, said Vladimir Putin’s troops receive a bonus of 10 per cent of their monthly salary if they capture a Ukrainian. That increases to 25 per cent if they are able to extract information or a confession, and 50 per cent if they turn a prisoner to working for the Russians.
Speaking exclusively to The Telegraph, Ms Edwards said: “Their method of doing this is through torture. It is through brutalising people. It is through humiliating and ridiculing people.
“These are not the actions of an entirely undisciplined military force but rather purposeful violence perpetrated against both civilians and prisoners of war [that amount to] state policy”.
Ms Edwards said the report she is preparing for the UN Human Rights Council, due to be delivered in March next year, will state that allegations of torture by Russian forces “were neither random nor incidental”.

I see a Russian or Ukrainian language article that you posted. I don't know why mine didn't post, but will try posting today. Hopefully what caused the problem is gone.

Nobody gets all their articles posted, dear Enver Slager8035, where nobody includes the moderators. I deleted four of my own submissions yesterday before the midnight rollover, as it happens, and one more shortly after midnight when I noticed Fred had given us a better article on the subject, filed under a different heading. Quite a few of your submissions do make the cut, my dear, and we are pleased to include them.

Putin is a genocidal thug intent on imposing a reconstitution of the Soviet Union. Ukraine is a corrupt Oligarchy theft nation of Neo-Nazi sympathizers.
Do I have it right?

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Poland, after inviting Jaroslav Hunka, a former soldier of the Galicia volunteer division of the SS troops, to the Canadian parliament , they became interested in his participation in the genocide of Poles in the Lviv region. The Institute of National Remembrance (INR) of Poland will take up the cases. The prosecutor immediately after honoring the war veteran began to analyze the volumes of the case on Nazi crimes, the institute's press secretary, Rafal Leszkiewicz, told reporters.
According to him, Ukrainians from the SS division “Galicia” took part in the massacre of Poles in Guta Penyatska in February 1944. In total, the investigative department of the IPN is investigating the murders of about 800 Polish citizens. A review of several dozen volumes of the case will show whether Hunka's name appears in them, the spokesman added.
“Regardless of these analyses, the prosecutor will take action related to obtaining foreign legal assistance to obtain information regarding Hunka. The request will be sent to the Canadian authorities,” Leshkevich assured.
The INP representative clarified that upon entering Canada, Hunka had to provide information about himself to immigration authorities.
The Hunka case, Leshkevich claims, is reminiscent of the materials of Ivan Demjanjuk , a Ukrainian guard in the German concentration camps Treblinka, Sobibor, Majdanek, who at the end of the war fled to the United States, many years later he was deported to Germany and convicted.
As Regnum reported , on September 22, the Canadian parliament was visited by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky , and a 98-year-old Ukrainian Nazi veteran was also invited to the meeting. The Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, Anthony Rota, expressed regret about the decision to invite a Nazi to parliament and took full responsibility for what happened. He noted that the public honoring of the SS man caused pain to various people and communities who survived Nazi crimes. Rota added that he will leave the post of Speaker of the House of Commons on September 27.
The head of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, was horrified by the honoring of the Ukrainian Nazi in the Canadian Parliament. He recalled how Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Zelensky applauded the veteran of the SS Galicia division, and now they are trying to pretend that they did not know who he was. Filippo called for the cessation of funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and urgent work in the name of peace.
Canada's refusal to extradite would be delicious.
[Regnum] After honoring 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division, in the Canadian parliament, Russia may initiate a criminal case and also send a request for his extradition, said the Russian Ambassador to Canada Oleg Stepanov .
“Russia is studying history with Hunka. It is possible to initiate a criminal case and subsequently send a request for his extradition ,” says the diplomat’s statement published by the diplomatic mission on the social network X.
Earlier, Stepanov noted that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , by inviting a Nazi who served in the SS Galicia division in the last century to the country’s parliament, outraged the history of Canada and its citizens. According to him, after the Cold War, Ottawa specifically created favorable conditions for the Nazis and Banderaites.
As Regnum reported , representatives of Jewish organizations, a number of European politicians, as well as the authorities of Poland and Belarus sharply criticized the Canadian authorities. Poland said it would consider sending a request to Ottawa to extradite Hunka.
According to the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov , the crimes of the Nazis have no statute of limitations, and therefore the Canadian authorities must extradite SS man Hunka to Poland if an official request is received from Warsaw. Honoring the Nazis betrays the memory of those who fought against Nazi Germany and its allies, Peskov added.
The leader of Canada's parliamentary opposition, Pierre Poilievre , expressed dissatisfaction with what happened in parliament and said that the state's reputation had been shaken after the invitation of the Ukrainian nationalist.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, commenting on the scandal, accused Russia of “provocation” and “disinformation,” and shifted responsibility for what happened to the Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Roth, who resigned , saying that he was reporting this decision “with a heavy heart.” " Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova , commenting on the resignation of the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, noted that he was made a “scapegoat.”
[Regnum] The crimes of the Nazis have no statute of limitations, and therefore the Canadian authorities must extradite SS man Yaroslav Hunka (Ukrainian: Gunka) to Poland if an official request is received from Warsaw, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov told reporters on September 27.
“We believe that Canadian authorities have a responsibility to bring this criminal to justice, or to hand over to those who intend to bring him to justice. There is hardly even any place for a trial here,” the presidential press secretary said.
As for the passion of the current leaders of the Kiev regime for Nazi ideology, this is not news, and the head of this regime, Vladimir Zelensky , by applauding the Nazis, thereby betrays the memory of those who fought Hitler’s Germany and its allies, including the memory of his own grandfather, Peskov noted.
As Regnum reported , on September 21, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division, was invited to a meeting of the Canadian Parliament dedicated to Zelensky’s visit. Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada Anthony Rota, to the applause of the audience (including Zelensky and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ), introduced Hunka as “a fighter for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.”
Representatives of Jewish organizations, a number of European politicians, as well as the authorities of Poland and Belarus expressed sharp criticism of the Canadian authorities. Poland said it would consider sending a request to Ottawa to extradite Hunka.
Trudeau, commenting on the scandal, accused Russia of “provocation” and “disinformation,” and shifted responsibility for what happened to the Speaker of the House of Commons. Anthony Rota resigned on September 26. Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova , commenting on his resignation, noted that Roth was made a “scapegoat.”

[Regnum] The former speaker of the Ukrainian fighters' defense, transvestiteSarah Ashton-Cirillo, during a conversation with pranksters Vovan and Lexus, said that foreign mercenaries in the Armed Forces of Ukraine hold extreme right-wing views and use drugs. The interview was published on their social network page.
Bloggers called Cirillo on behalf of Petro Poroshenko .

The ex-speaker added that in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are problems with the moral and psychological state of the militants.
As Regnum reported, a representative of the territorial defense forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, American transvestite Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, was removed from her post after public threats against Russian journalists.

Sergeant Ashton-Cirillo has been suspended from duty pending an investigation.
Assistant to the head of Chechnya, commander of the Akhmat special forces detachment Apty Alaudinov said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are going on the offensive under the influence of the combat chemicals that the West is testing on them. He added that they don’t even hide it, they don’t feel sorry for the Ukrainians. According to him, those Ukrainian military personnel whose effects of the substances wear off surrender.
A sniper of the Russian troops group “South” said that the Ukrainian army sometimes lacks the instinct of self-preservation. There were cases when the enemy came out without weapons, without armor or equipment and just walked. It looked very desperate, the Russian serviceman specified. The military man noted that it is possible that the Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel who behave inappropriately are taking some kind of drugs, and emphasized that such behavior is not normal for a person.
[Regnum] Former speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense forces, transvestite Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, in her conversation with pranksters Vovan and Lexus (Alexey Stolyarov and Vladimir Kuznetsov) showed an absolute lack of knowledge about history, noted on September 27, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova.
As previously reported, the former speaker of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, assuming that she was talking with the former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, made a number of sharp statements, noting, in particular, that “Russians descended from the Mongols” (according to another wording - “from a group of people who wanted to be slaves "), and Europe "ends in Ukraine".
It would be worth checking with the former speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense forces from whom, according to his concept, the Ukrainians originated and when exactly they originated, if, according to Ashton-Cirillo, they already fought the Mongols “thousands of years ago,” Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel .
“Are the Mongols, who are definitely descended from the Mongols, even aware that they want to be slaves?” — the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also noted.
The lands that are now part of Bulgaria, Poland, and Lithuania were also conquered by the Tatar-Mongols, and the former speaker of the Ukrainian Armed Forces should clarify whether the citizens of these countries also have a desire to be slaves, Zakharova added.
As Regnum reported earlier, Ashton-Cirillo was removed from office in September 2023. Also, the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense forces announced the start of an internal investigation.
The former speaker of the defense forces has held this post since August 2023 and managed to make a number of Russophobic statements, in particular, that “Russians are not people,” and also threatened to kill Russian journalists.

[Regnum] The Black Sea Fleet (BSF) confidently and successfully fulfills the tasks set by the command, and the marines were awarded high awards for their exploits, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, said on September 27.
“Surface forces, submarine forces, naval aviation, and coastal troops are successfully completing their missions. You know that the exploits of our naval infantry practically never leave the screen of central television,” Sokolov said in an interview with the Zvezda TV channel.
The 810th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet was awarded the Order of Ushakov, becoming perhaps the first naval infantry unit in the history of the Navy to receive this award, the admiral noted.
As Regnum reported earlier, Kiev stated that Viktor Sokolov was among the Russian officers who allegedly died as a result of a Ukrainian Armed Forces missile attack on Sevastopol on September 22.
The Kremlin did not confirm the data, noting that they do not have such information, press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov later told reporters. On September 26, the Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of a meeting of the department’s board; Admiral Sokolov participated in it via video link.
On September 26, the press service of the Ministry also said that the Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Rear Admiral Ildar Akhmerov , presented state awards to servicemen of the 810th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet for disrupting enemy attacks during a special operation in Ukraine. The naval infantry were awarded the Order of Courage and medals “For Courage.”

Hopefully he will show up to this office the next cruise missile attack.
The 810 Maine Brigade is an interesting unit to give the "undefeated" award. They defended Robotyne and after Robotyne was captured by the Ukrainians, they counterattacked from the west. They got hit hard on the northern flank. When units tried to retreat, Russian artillery deliberately opened up on them to prevent their retreat. The remaining unit was withdrawn to Tokmak.

Folks with more knowledge than I have looked at the video. There is nothing to indicate it was filmed post Sept 22. The jury is still out and the Russians are playing Schrodinger's Admiral.
Early reports circulated online that Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of the Black Sea Fleet, was killed in the strike,[17][18][19][20] but such claims were denied by the Russian government, which showed video footage of Sokolov alive and well, although the time and date the video was filmed is unknown.[21][22][23] The videos have subsequently been dated to prior to the attack, with the first being an awarding of soccer medals on September 20 and the second video references awarding of the 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade with the Medal of Ushakov, which publicly available information indicates happened on 29 August 2023.[24]
Also read the comatose chief of staff to the wounded colonel general, Lieutenant General Oleg Tseko, has died. No confirmation from the Russian side.
From the V Kontakte page of News Front.
In the footage, soldiers from the 255th Motorized Rifle Regiment capture a wounded soldier from the 79th Brigade, abandoned by his comrades. They begin to lead him out of the “red zone,” providing first aid along the way. But soon his former colleagues begin to fire at him from the AGS.
Here is a recorded fact of an attempt to kill one's own, a colleague whom they had previously left to die on the front end.
Russian soldiers miraculously manage to take the prisoner out from under fire.
Russia has substantially slashed its agricultural exports to ’unfriendly’ nations that imposed sanctions on Moscow, Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev revealed on Wednesday.
Moscow reduced deliveries of its agricultural produce to Western states by $2.6 billion last year while at the same time boosting supplies to neutral and friendly countries — those that have not joined Western sanctions on Russia — by $2.7 billion, according to the official.
"Agricultural exports, including fish exports, today primarily look towards friendly countries," he said at a fishing industry forum. The minister added that due to the "geopolitical situation," Russia was prompted to divert its agrarian trade and will "continue to do so in the future."
On the topic of fish exports, Patrushev noted that despite Western restrictions, Russia boosted supplies of marine products by 4% last year. The number of importing countries also increased from 60 in 2022 to 80 this year as Moscow seeks to diversify its trading partners and is expanding to new markets.

The granting of a licence to sell motor insurance in Romania to a company managed by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s brother is raising eyebrows in Brussels. It comes just weeks after the Commission refused access to MEPs to view an official report relating to irregularities by the primary Romanian insurance regulator and an alleged campaign of harassment against one firm in particular.
..."Eazy Asigurari," a subsidiary of the European gambling giant Superbet, shocked pundits earlier this month when it was given a licence to sell motor insurance by the Romanian insurance regulator ASF against the expectations of most industry experts.
Superbet, one of Europe’s largest online gambling consortiums specialising in betting technology, has an annual turnover of $1.1 billion. The company announced the appointment of Hans-Holger Albrecht, von der Leyen’s brother, as chairman in February, coinciding with a global expansion plan.
Financially backed by the American asset management firm Blackstone, Superbet’s entrance into the Romanian insurance market comes after years of financial and political intrigue in the sector which culminated in the forced departure of one of the country’s largest insurance companies, Euroins, after what it claimed was a campaign of regulatory harassment by ASF.
In March of this year, ASF removed Euroins’s trading licence on the grounds of a €400 million capital deficiency, a fact contested not just by the company but also by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Bulgarian regulators, and an independent auditor who all claimed that the company was solvent.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Difficult to find the film online, since Aita is also the internet acronym for Am I the Asshole. Another film by the same name exists, which was made in 2001.
Two people, including the head of the logistics department of the Levashinsky police department, were killed in the shootout, and several more people were wounded. The police put the suspect on the wanted list.
[Regnum] In Poland, after inviting Jaroslav Hunka, a former soldier of the Galicia volunteer division of the SS troops, to the Canadian parliament , they became interested in his participation in the genocide of Poles in the Lviv region. The Institute of National Remembrance (INR) of Poland will take up the cases. The prosecutor immediately after honoring the war veteran began to analyze the volumes of the case on Nazi crimes, the institute's press secretary, Rafal Leszkiewicz, told reporters.
