US 'won't rule out' letting Ukraine fire foreign-made missiles deep into Russia - as David Lammy and Anthony Blinken meet for talks in London amid pressure to let Kyiv use Western weapons

#1  So don't be surprised when Russian missiles arrive here.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 09/11/2024 11:28 Comments || Top||

#2  I read somewhere that in a war like this both sides will try to keep it from escalating too far, whatever too far is, because that is not in the interest of either side. I don't believe anybody wants it to go nuclear. But if Western missiles keep hitting Russia, Putin might be excused from thinking that hitting back at Ukraine is not enough. My fear is that Blinken doesn't know any better than to push Putin too far. He seems to me like a guy who is overcompensating from a well deserved inferiority complex. The hell of it is that the risk is not just Blinken's.

#3  Sure seems like there is a sort of 'in bounds' playing field, if you will.

Could it be that once missiles are sold to Team Elynkyyy they have no control over their use and may be used on 'out of bounds' targets?

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 10, 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.

[Korrespondent] 21:43 Biden does not rule out lifting the ban on strikes against Russia with American long-range weapons, Blinken said in an interview with Sky News: "We never rule it out. But when we make a decision, we want to make sure that it is done in a way that can help achieve what the Ukrainians are trying to achieve."

21:36 Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov announced fighting on the border with Ukraine in the area of ​​Zhuravlevka. At the same time, he denied information about the capture of this settlement by Ukrainian troops.

20:56 The US Treasury Department announced the introduction of new sanctions against Iran due to the supply of missiles to Russia. In particular, the restrictions affected the airline Iran Air, as well as four ships that transport Iranian drones and missiles to Russia. Officials of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian Ministry of Defense were also subject to sanctions. In total, the list includes ten individuals and six legal entities.

20:48 Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga held a telephone conversation with his Australian counterpart Penny Wong and asked her to transfer decommissioned equipment, including Bushmaster armored vehicles, to Ukraine.

20:17 Zelensky said in an evening video address that Ukraine is "bringing closer the steps of partners that can help now... The partners' determination must become more long-range." Work on logistics is also continuing - the timely delivery of the announced support packages. In addition, the president said that he heard reports from Syrsky today, as well as the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Foreign Intelligence Service: "We see what steps Moscow is planning, and we will act accordingly - exactly as tough as necessary."

Zelensky also commented on the changes in the Foreign Ministry: "Ukraine must be fully understood in all partner countries, particularly in Europe. Ukraine needs much more meaningful relations and cooperation than it has now with the countries of Latin America, with the countries of Africa and Asia. We must realize the full potential of strategic relations with the United States. And with all the countries that are key to their regions, but do not yet have strategic relations with Ukraine, we need a truly strategic level of cooperation... Among the key priorities of the year is the Second Peace Summit, which means the most active work with all our partners in groups on the points of the Peace Formula and on a common view of ending the war."

18:54 During his visit to Kyiv, Blinken plans to get acquainted with the situation on the battlefield, discuss Ukraine's needs and advance Zelensky's peace proposals, White House adviser John Kirby said. At the same time, he stressed that Washington is not pressuring Ukraine or pushing it to negotiate an end to the war: "Of course, ending the war through negotiations is the most likely outcome in this case. But when this happens, and under what conditions and circumstances - this will be decided by President Zelensky."

18:35 China is now supplying Russia not only with dual-use goods, but also with specific materials needed by the Russian Armed Forces, said US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell. In exchange, Beijing, according to his information, is receiving secret Russian technologies for submarines, missiles and aviation, which Moscow had previously been unwilling to share.

"These are part of a very significant effort on the part of China to support, build and diversify various elements of the Russian military machine. We see efforts at the highest levels of both governments to try to hide and protect certain elements of this troubling cooperation... Much of this activity is not publicly visible," Campbell said.

18:19 Zelensky said during the introduction of the new Minister Andriy Sybiha to the MFA staff that Ukraine needs a second Peace Summit this year: "This means maximum involvement of the world in the implementation of the Peace Formula. And maximum strengthening of our positions in order to make a fair process of restoring peace real... The team of the MFA of Ukraine, the entire government team, the Office team, our parliamentary diplomats, everyone involved in this work at the public level - everyone must understand that peace for Ukraine and a fair end to this war are not just a historical mission, but daily and very painstaking work."

The President also announced that Panama had joined the communiqué of the first Peace Summit, becoming the 94th signatory of the document.

17:56 The Hill journalist Juliegrace Brufke reported, citing the head of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee Michael McCaul, that Blinken and his British counterpart Lemmy will announce permission to use ATACMS missiles to strike Russia during their visit to Kiev.

17:47 The foreign ministers of Great Britain, Germany and France in a joint statement condemned Iran's supply of ballistic missiles to Russia and added that in response they would cancel air traffic with Iran and impose sanctions on Iranian ballistic missile manufacturers and their suppliers to Russia. The statement said that the supply of missiles to Moscow "is an escalation by both Iran and Russia and poses a direct threat to European security."

17:35 Financing one military costs the budget 1.2 million hryvnia, Shmyhal said. According to him, this year's budget lacks an additional 500 billion hryvnia for the army. "When we planned the 2024 budget together with the IMF, one of the partners' forecasts was that the war would continue until the summer of 2024," the prime minister explained, adding that now the Ukrainian Armed Forces need more funding.

17:21 The UK government announced sanctions against the Russian Aerospace Forces, as well as the 924th State Unmanned Aviation Center and the Military Transport Aviation Command. It is known that the 924th State Unmanned Aviation Center is responsible for delivering UAVs to the Russian army. In addition, London added five new vessel specifications to the list as part of restrictions against Russia and seven new sanctioned entities as part of the sanctions regime against Iran.

16:35 In Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, as a result of enemy shelling, a gas distribution station was damaged, 28 thousand subscribers of the community were left without gas supply, the city military administration reported. In addition, as a result of Russian shelling of the village of Gnatovka, one person was killed and one was wounded.

15:52 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy will visit Kiev this week. Lemmy announced this at their joint press conference in London.

15:45 Biden plans to discuss with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday, September 13, permission for Ukraine to use long-range weapons on Russian territory, Blinken said.

15:36 All thermal power plants that supplied Kharkiv have been destroyed, so mobile boiler houses will be brought into the city for the winter, Shmyhal said. "We are focusing on Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region, because we understand that the Russians have actually destroyed all the thermal power plants that were around Kharkiv and held Kharkiv. We are bringing in small mobile boiler houses there, 1 MW, installed by local authorities," the prime minister said. Similar technologies will be used in other cities, he added.

15:23 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new sanctions against Iran over missile deliveries to Russia. According to him, the full list of sanctions will be announced later today, but they will definitely include measures against Iran Air. "We have warned Tehran publicly, we have warned Tehran privately that this step would be a dangerous escalation. Russia has already received shipments of these missiles," Blinken said. He added that Russia will likely use these supplies within a few weeks.

14:37 In the first eight months of this year, weapons production in Ukraine has doubled compared to last year’s figures, Shmyhal reported.

13:48 The order to strike Okhmatdet was given by the then commander of the long-range aviation of the Russian Air Force, who was subsequently promoted to commander of the Air Force, said Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin. The Prosecutor General did not name the person, but from the description it follows that he is Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash. He was notified of the suspicion in absentia.

13:14 International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan is on a visit to Kiev and has already visited the Okhmatdet children's hospital and spoken to one of the victims of the Russian strike. Commenting on Mongolia's refusal to arrest Putin, Khan noted that usually in such cases a general meeting of all states signatories to the Rome Statute is held, after which a decision is made. In turn, Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin said that Ukraine is working with partners to ensure that the country that ignored the ICC's demand "feels the consequences."

12:53 Russian troops attacked Kherson with drones, two people were wounded, OVA reported. In particular, the enemy dropped explosives on a bus stop. In addition, two residents of the region, who were injured due to Russian shelling the day before, went to the hospital today.

11:48 The White House has sent Congress a classified report on its strategy for the war in Ukraine, Reuters reports, citing sources. The report's preparation by June was put forward by Congress as a condition for the adoption of a $61 billion aid bill for Ukraine in April. Due to the missed deadlines, some lawmakers said they could block further funding. A congressional aide anonymously said the report was received on Monday, September 9, and they had not yet had a chance to review it.

11:16 Bild writes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are critically short of spare parts for Western equipment, which is why the army cannot use, in particular, howitzers supplied by the Netherlands, Germany and Italy.

10:39 The UN does not have the tools or authority to force Russia to comply with international law, said UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis. He explained that the Organization acts in accordance with shared values ​​and beliefs, hoping that all members will adhere to their obligations and respect the territorial integrity of other countries.

Francis noted that the UN continues to "hope and expect" that Moscow will fulfill its obligations within the framework of participation in the Organization. He also noted that the General Assembly adopted a number of "strong resolutions" calling on the Russian Federation to comply with the law and withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine. "This aggression by Russia is a gross violation of international law, and we cannot tolerate it," Francis emphasized.

09:45 In the morning, Russian troops attacked Ponyatovka in the Kherson region from a UAV - a regular bus was damaged, one person was injured, the OVA reported. Over the previous day, five people were injured as a result of Russian shelling in the region.

09:36 In Donetsk Oblast, three people were killed as a result of Russian shelling on September 9: in Gornyak, Shchurovo and Kleban-Byk. Another five people in the oblast were injured in the past 24 hours, said OVA head Vadim Filashkin.

09:22 On Monday, September 9, Russians shelled Kupyansk: as a result of an enemy drone strike on a car, two people were injured, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. As a result of enemy FPV drone strikes in the region over the past day, two more people were injured: in the village of Zakharovka in the Chuguevsky district and the village of Velyki Prokhody in the Kharkiv district.

09:07 In Cherkasy Oblast, several hits and falling debris were recorded during a night attack; two people were injured in the regional center, reported OVA head Igor Taburets. Several houses and private businesses were damaged. An infrastructure facility was damaged in Uman District.

08:51 Air defense destroyed 38 out of 46 Shahed-type attack UAVs at night, the Air Force reported. Three drones were lost on Ukrainian territory (probably fell under the influence of electronic warfare systems) and three more left Ukrainian airspace: one in the direction of the Russian Federation, two in the direction of occupied Luhansk region. In addition, Russia struck at night with an Iskander-M ballistic missile and an Kh-31P anti-radar missile.

Air defense operated in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kirovograd, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kherson, Cherkasy, Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Zaporizhia and Poltava regions.

08:44 Drones attacked Moscow and the Moscow region at night. Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported that one person was killed and three were injured as a result of a UAV attack on a residential building in Ramenskoye, Moscow Region. In total, fires were reported in three residential buildings. Drones also attacked Zhukovsky Airport, which was closed to aircraft at night and a fire broke out. Restrictions on the receipt and departure of aircraft were also introduced at Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports. According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, drones were shot down in Lyubertsy, Ramenskoye, near Podolsk and in Domodedovo.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that air defense forces intercepted and destroyed 144 drones over central regions of Russia overnight, including 20 over the Moscow region. Publics wrote about an explosion near a Rosneft gas station in the Bryansk region.

07:48 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of September 10. Due to the constant receipt of updated intelligence data, the total number of cruise missiles has been adjusted; losses per day are reported as usual:

  • personnel - about 627,790 (+1380) people,

  • tanks - 8640 (+1),

  • combat armored vehicles - 16,925 (+19),

00:12 The Netherlands is allowing Ukraine to use its weapons to strike deep into Russia's rear, said the country's Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans. He also called on other countries to lift restrictions: "Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And if the country is attacked from border areas or from Russian airfields, it can target military facilities. The same applies to enemy missiles - they can also be intercepted by our weapons over Russia." The minister specified that permission to strike Russia directly concerns the F-16 fighters that the Netherlands will transfer to Ukraine.

Junior Sergeant Davletzyanov, while performing a task to withdraw and change firing positions, received information about the installation of mines on the route of the Russian armored group. Despite the danger, he left the tank, quickly brought the mine trawl into working position, and then made a passage in the minefields. This allowed the Russian armored groups to leave the occupied area without losses.

Peskov: Accusations against Russia of using US bloggers are unfounded
Direct Translaion via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Accusations against Russia that it allegedly uses famous American bloggers to influence public opinion in the United States are unfounded. This was stated on September 10 by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov.

“You know, to be honest, I would like to hear the specific name of a specific top US blogger that Russia is using for some purpose,” Peskov said, commenting on a recent statement by US intelligence that Russia is allegedly using famous American bloggers to influence public opinion in the US.

The Kremlin spokesman added that such statements are unfounded accusations and are not based on anything.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 6, Peskov called the US accusations against the Russian Federation regarding alleged interference in the American elections nonsense.

Earlier in the day, on September 6, a Kremlin spokesman called the new US charges and sanctions an attempt to put pressure on Russia. According to him, the US side continues to try to put pressure on Russians and Russian media outlets that inform citizens and the world community about what is happening in the world from the Russian point of view.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 5 that the Kremlin's favorite in the US presidential election was the incumbent head of state Joe Biden, but after the latter's withdrawal from the race, Moscow will support the Democratic candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris. The Russian leader noted that one of her positive qualities is her infectious laughter. However, Putin added that the American people will choose the US president, and Russia will respect the choice.

Following Putin's remarks about the American elections, the White House issued a statement that the American people would determine the future president of the United States.

About this he wrote on his page in the social network.

‘Zelenskyy is not allowed to go to peace talks because it means a Russian victory, which will lead to Harris’ failure in the election. Biden and Harris are disgusting mass murderers,’ Dotcom stated.

He also noted that Ukraine is already ‘on its knees’, but for the sake of the Democratic Party of the United States should die ‘another hundred thousand Ukrainians’.

Earlier, the businessman expressed the opinion that the Kiev regime is on its last breath.

On 8 September, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the conflict in Ukraine had reached the point when it was necessary to start discussing ways to end it as soon as possible.

War at full strategic depth
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from an article posted at report.press.

[ColonelCassad] Hybrid war is a common term used to describe the state of "peace as war". However, this hybridization - that is, the mixing of methods of warfare - contains only one feature of the "world of war". Hybridity does not describe the dramatic and total nature of the penetration of the "logic of war" into all spheres and to the full depth of world politics. To describe this largely new nature of war, the authors introduce and substantiate the term deep war. The article examines the essence, goals, strategy, tools of deep war and the measures that must be taken at the political and power levels in the face of growing threats and challenges.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WORLD DOMINATION
The war for the reorganization of the world, for the world's resources - human, intellectual, material, fossil - is already underway. It is waged by hybrid methods in the "gray zone", the owners of which are the global elite - a network structure of control over the world, which is commonly called the Deep State. Since the price of resources will objectively grow, one day it will be equal to the costs and price of war. And then, with a high degree of probability, the owners of the Deep State will unleash the Third World War openly. But to do this, they need to destroy the world system of national states, which today is being successfully prevented by Russia, China, Iran, India and other countries trying to pursue sovereign policies. That is why the Deep State's war for hegemony over the world has a hidden - deep character.

However, conceptually, this hegemony has already been formalized. In August 2024, a report was released by the "Club of Rome" and the "Council on the Future of Humanity" (hereinafter referred to as the Club of Rome, the Council on the Future of Humanity) - the leading centers designing the policy of the globalists - the published document is essentially a program strategy of the deep state. One of the authors of the report, Australian science fiction writer Julian Cribb, author of books on the existential problems of humanity, including How to Fix a Broken Planet (2023, Cambridge), wrote: “World War III has already begun, although few have noticed... It is an almost silent war that will take the lives of millions, perhaps billions, of people and destroy the planet forever... World War III is a universal conflict between proven truth and convenient lies. Between reality and invented fantasy. It is a battle for the human soul... "

Analyzing the proposals of the Club of Rome, prepared by Cribb, one cannot help but note their manipulative and very dangerous nature. The report talks about global problems and a general crisis of power, which threatens the end of human civilization already in the middle of the 21st century. The thesis is promoted that "the power of states is dissipating", since states are allegedly unable to solve the global problems of humanity, and therefore must give way to what will in fact be a "world government". To do this, it is necessary to take urgent measures to create governing bodies at the global level and the need for countries to give up part of their sovereignty. For these purposes, it is proposed to create a UN Parliamentary Assembly and a "Council on the Earth System", which will adopt legislation that is binding on all countries. That is, we are talking about the degradation and complete devaluation of the concept of national sovereignty.

One of the fundamental changes proposed by the authors of this document is the reform of the UN Security Council with the abolition of the veto right of permanent members. And in order to finally eliminate the threat of their hegemony from sovereign states, globalists propose to ban nuclear weapons. Also alarming are the dangerous for humanity ideas of "voluntary" population reduction and the creation of a "Global Truth Commission" (it was put forward by Cribb), as well as proposals for a "radical green" change in the economic system, supplemented by the introduction of a single and mandatory world currency for all.

If we remove the "verbal-cognitive camouflage", it becomes obvious that the authors of the Club of Rome report with their customers from the Deep State see the solution to humanity's problems in total control over it - that is, over each of us. These ideas, in general, are not new to world politics, but their aggressive, offensive and radical nature is striking, reminiscent of the escalation of the very war going on at a deep level.

At the same time, six months earlier, at the Davos Forum, held in the winter of 2024, the intention to take control of the future of humanity was directly declared.

We need a paradigm shift... We must act as trustees of a better future for humanity. As trustees of the future, we are responsible for the development of the world...

~ Klaus Schwab, Chairman of the Davos Forum

The Club of Rome report makes it clear that the struggle for energy and resources is the dominant feature of world politics in the near and medium term. According to their calculations, there are not enough resources for the "Golden Billion", and therefore the resource collapse is becoming increasingly obvious. The West formulated a solution to this problem more than twenty years ago by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the leading American politician of the second half of the 20th century, who stated: "The new world order will be built against Russia, on the ruins of Russia and at the expense of Russia."

According to the programmatic guidelines of the collective West and NATO - this is stated in the "US National Security Strategy" - Russia is considered a fundamental enemy and the main threat. The strategic defeat of Russia, which is understood as its "cancellation", civilizational breakdown, deprivation of historical independence, is the main priority of the policy of the collective West.

DEEP WAR
Hybrid war - a state of "peace as war", in this hybridization - mixing - the essence of the current era is seen. However, mixing is only one facet of the picture of the "world of war", and hybridity does not describe the entire dramatic intensity of modernity, the total penetration of the "logic of war" into all spheres and to the full depth of world politics. It is the deep profile of war that complements the hybrid nature of the modern confrontation, within the framework of which the humanitarian sphere is technologized, and the keys to the codes - civilizational and mental - become military goals. At the core of this deep hybrid warfare technology are networks of control and power influence that entangle the world: from cyber to information, from energy and logistics to intelligence and PMC networks, from ethno-financial transnational network groups and crypto-shadow corporations to the Deep Web. Often, these all-pervasive networks are outside legitimate state and public control, in the so-called "gray zone" where there is no war/no peace.

The story of the global Windows crash in July 2024 reflected an important feature of the modern network world system - an error made at one point in the system can bring down the entire world system. So far, this is more like "reconnaissance in force", which will be followed by a sequel. Regular breaks in internet cables, unexpected failures of satellites, accidents at strategically important infrastructure facilities, interruptions in the power supply of critically important territories, the growth of "random" but synchronous epidemics, "targeted" influxes of waves of migrants, political rebellions and coups d'état induced seemingly out of nowhere, etc. - all this is part of a war that is tangible for many, but hidden and understandable only to real actors. This, taken together, is the hybrid profile of a deep war - Deep War - the battles and battles of which are often hushed up by the media.

Thus, the deep war (Deep War) is total in its scale and penetration into all spheres of human activity, it is a form of poly-domain confrontation in the military and civilian spheres, in the geopolitical space, which is described by the concept of the gray zone. This is a war for control over the world, which is being prepared and waged by globalists from the Deep State according to the concepts of the same Club of Rome and similar institutions. This war is not waged for territories or even for resource assets as such, but for the establishment of a new world order. In this war, there are no "turning points and battles", instead, multi-scale operations and processes are implemented that "accumulate damage" in the existing system, leading to tectonic changes at the deepest levels of the functioning of the world system. The fundamental thing is that in this case, it is precisely the issues of war that are being resolved - depriving the enemy of subjectivity, will and ability to sovereign development, and ultimately destroying him.

PERSONNEL SYNERGY OF VICTORY
In any war, people win - only strong-willed people are capable of withstanding grandiose challenges and implementing the transformations that Russia needs.

The essence of the approach is that since war becomes the deep essence of politics, and the boundaries of war and peace are dissolved in the gray zone, the division into civilian and military spheres becomes conditional, so the civilian and professional spheres inevitably merge and intertwine with the military. Hence, the strategic priority of the state is the creation of a system that ensures personnel synergy of the military and civilian spheres.

Personnel and technological mobilization, the unification of military and civilian specialists and developments are vitally important today. In this matter, the experience of Britain is interesting - a country that has always and not without success laid claim to leading world roles, without having significant resources and population, but competently promoting its interests through the elite - very devoted to the country, strong in spirit and purposeful.

A strategic personnel priority of the UK national security policy is to ensure the continuous involvement of highly qualified civilian specialists from various fields directly and indirectly related to national security issues. One of the most interesting examples of such a structure is the Specialist Group of Deep Warfare of the UK Military Intelligence (SGMI). SGMI specifically and systematically recruits personnel from specialists, primarily because of their unique special skills, including academic, scientific and professional skills, acquired in the civilian field. And what is important to note: these specialists often carry out their tasks within the SGMI on a pro bono basis - that is, serving their country is a priority for them.

This gives a result: in cognitive operations and mental warfare, the British are among the best today. And these are not episodes or exceptions, this is a personnel system tailored to specific war tasks. In his interview from August 2023, US Army General Mark Milley (at that time Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) emphasized that the wars of the 21st century will be for cognitive-mental dominance, for which the mental-cognitive area is defined and doctrinally formalized as the sixth operational environment/"sixth domain" (along with land, air, sea, space, info-cyber sphere), where - as stated in NATO developments - "influence and control of the enemy's mind make it possible to avoid a frontal confrontation." And it is no coincidence that British General Hockenhull (Head of Strategic Command, British military intelligence) stated in January of the same 2023: “

… the conflict in Ukraine can in some ways be seen as the first digital war, and much of this digital capability comes from open sources and commercially available services, rather than traditional military capabilities…

~ Ben Hockenhull, Head of Strategic Command, UK

All this, in essence, speaks about deep warfare, its personnel and technologies. Another example of personnel strategy - in late summer 2024, news appeared that the Pentagon was creating new Theater Integrated Information Detachments (TIADS). This is a new type of unit, which is planned to be created in the 2026 fiscal year (12 cyber groups of 65 highly qualified military personnel each), which are designed to monitor the efforts of China and Russia to conduct information warfare at the field level. This approach reflects the desire of the US Army command to unite cyberneticists, electronic warfare specialists, communications specialists, data transmission systems engineers, information operations, intel (integrated electronic technologies) and specialists in information and psychological operations - PSYOPs. This was stated by Lieutenant General Maria Barrett, Commander-in-Chief of the Army Cyber ​​Command.

It is necessary to understand that such operational and tactical decisions are what can provide a strategic advantage in the competencies and on the battlefield of any state. Therefore, the creation of similar structures and institutions, but adapted to the management traditions of Russia, on the basis of interested specialized, primarily security agencies, should be a strategic personnel priority of the state, since it can not only strengthen the defense potential, but also form a highly professional core of a nationally oriented elite - this is the main recruiting elite resource.

The West's deep hybrid war against Russia is being waged both from the outside and from the inside across the entire front - from the economy, politics, spiritual and mental spheres and cyberspace to local military clashes and proxy conflicts around the world. In such a deep war, defeats and victories are not recorded by the "Act of Surrender", they are sometimes unclear, poly-domain and hybrid, and the qualitative shifts achieved as a result of this war are often evolutionary, but irreversible and destructive.

The prosecutor''s office will deal with illegal rehabilitation of victims of Stalin''s repressions
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Text taken from an gazata.ru article

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] The Prosecutor General''s Office will begin reviewing cases of rehabilitation of victims of political repression.

The Prosecutor General''s Office of the Russian Federation plans to review previously adopted decisions on the rehabilitation of victims of political repression. The draft departmental order was published on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts.

The document states that on June 20, 2024, amendments were made to the Concept of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Perpetuating the Memory of Victims of Political Repression concerning the inadmissibility of rehabilitation and acquittal of persons who committed grave and especially grave crimes, war crimes, crimes against peace and humanity. The Prosecutor General''s Office proposes "to organize work on identifying and canceling such decisions on an ongoing basis."

If the cancellation of rehabilitation decisions concerns foreign citizens, information about this will be transmitted to the relevant states through the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The order of the Prosecutor General''s Office "On the organization of the activities of the prosecutor''s office for the implementation and supervision of the implementation of the RF Law "On the rehabilitation of victims of political repression" will be supplemented by a provision that the materials on the decisions made, sent to the authorities, are intended not only to restore the rights of persons who suffered from political repression, but also to restore historical justice. At the same time, it is emphasized that the justification of "accomplices of the Nazis and traitors to the Motherland" should not be allowed.

It is high time. Just as during the repressions, along with enemies of the people, random people were caught in the crossfire, just as during the rehabilitation of the unjustifiably repressed, many different scum were rehabilitated under Khrushchev and Gorbachev, including various collaborators.

P.S., I would be interested in watching the review of the cases of the participants in the Tukhachevsky conspiracy, who were indiscriminately rehabilitated under Khrushchev.
