Britain
UK Defence spending to increase by at least £52bn in response to Russian aggression
[Yahoo] The Defence Secretary has said Britain will increase the size of its armed forces spending by at least £52 billion in response to Russian aggression.

In his first interview since Liz Truss entered No 10, Ben Wallace confirmed the new Prime Minister is sticking to her campaign promise of increasing defence spending by 3%.

Mr Wallace told The Sunday Telegraph the military is "actually going to grow" as a result of the spending increase which he said has come after decades of "defending against cuts or reconciling cuts with modern fighting".

He added the pledge amounted to an annual defence budget of about £100 billion by 2030 — an increase of £52 billion on the current sum which the Defence Secretary called "huge".

#9  Our family Marine just says to p*ss on your foot for athlete's foot and leave it there for a couple minutes. Something within the chemical makeup of urine apparently does the job.

Of course his battalion never spent much time near an MCX (or a modern civilization for that matter), so they improvised, adapted and overcame.

I have tried that and it really does work. Sometimes you have to do it for a second day if you have a bad case, though.

Washing your feet afterwards is helpful in modern society, too.

An American Anti-submarine reconnaissance plane flew the length of the Nordstream Pipeline just hours before the explosion


Click through for the full thread with many graphics.

The helicopters seem like something that would be there to observe for any potential Russian vessel or aircraft that would discover their operation. Hence anti-sub capable helicopters, which have heavily patrolled Kaliningrad the past few days. All easily accessible info that will never be talked about.

Could the plane that flew the full pipe length have been the delivery vehicle for divers that performed the mission?

Seems odd to fly the full pipe length like that, unless you’re doing it because the exact location of the mission isn’t decided upon until during the mission itself based on the movements of other vessels, Russia, potential allies that might notice, etc etc. You could fly the length of the pipe and can pick your delivery at any point.

Pretty funny how publicly available all this shit is these days and everyone still shrugs and says, "Russians did it." I’m sure it just spontaneously combusted, the Slavic brainpan is incapable of designing pipes that don’t just blow up every now and again. Haven't you heard that we can measure skulls with calipers?

I think the OSS might have pulled it off; Brandon's outfit - not so much.

We need to send those black helicopters over State and Langley. Take out these idiots before they kill us all

#7  Yes, yes, yes Colonel General our mobilization is in the ditch. But LOOK!
The American Navy is flying P3's along our pipeline. This could be our opportunity to put the Euro's in the deep freeze, blame Biden and his CIA handlers, and take retaliatory nuclear action in the Ukraine.

I think the Americans call it a 'false flag' operation.

I agree Colonel General, the moron Biden will do nothing.

#8  P-3As fly along that route all the time to check for Russian subs trying to sneak their way out. That isn't too weird. Plus the standard armament of the P-3 wouldn't be very efficient at attacking a pipeline.

Any nation that has commercial deep sea ability could have pulled this off. So what nations that have that would benefit the most from Germany not being able to back out of sanctions during the dead cold of winter? They are the most likely to have done it.
Posted by: DarthVader || 09/28/2022 10:42 Comments || Top||

#9  There is not enough American LNG to go around. Not sure $ is a good reason to blow up the pipeline. Tend to agree it's to keep the Germans cold this winter.

#15  Big whoop. Nordstream runs the length of the Baltic, ASW P-3 fly the length of the Baltic. Wrong armaments and we've got way sneakier ways to do it if it was us (which I doubt, we can't keep a secret for squat).

I also doubt the Russians. Why? Big Vlad already had the gas valve in his hand, why should he blow up his own asset and eliminate the energy blackmail angle.



Posted by: Nero || 09/28/2022 15:51 Comments || Top||

#16  I can see that if there was a warning that someone was gonna blow the pipeline and the US felt that was a bad idea they might have sent a plan to look it over.
Posted by: ruprecht || 09/28/2022 16:34 Comments || Top||

#17  If it had been known since last August/couple weeks ago, depending on the story, that an attack on the pipeline(s) is imminent, that would explain patrols, but a failure to protect would look really bad. That is a possibility.

I also can't shake that the people who are all-in on the conflict is the same team who (likely) faked two different chemical weapons attacks in Syria in order to escalate the conflict, the one under Obama (with McCain's Heroes) which Kerry accidentally diffused, and the one during Trump which ended with that whomp on the (pre-warned) airstrip which diffused that crises.

Fortunately, I have not seen any serious people with the WWII, that's WW11 for you ticktockers, who have gone the 'They Knew it was Coming and Let it Happen Anyways to Escalate the War'.

#18  Questions for those knowing of maritime shipping:

Since this is a natural shipping merge point, though not as busy as The Straits of Malacca, would there be some sort of traffic control?

Also, considering the lane merging and shallow depth, would there not also be some sort of SOSUS system in place?

#20  Thank you NN2N1. Fascinating. Going to have to let some questions roll around a bit, but first thought is, yes, accepted traffic patterns.

Looks like some 75%+ goes north of that island and that is normal because I don't see some sort of re-rout 'detour road' back south off that line.

Looks to be enough traffic and surveillance that someone dinking around would look like a person driving 40 in an 80. More so with the war situation the last 7 months risking a patrol flight.

So underwater into theater, using a ship (noise) as a screen?
Posted by: swksvolFF || 09/28/2022 21:40 Comments || Top||

#21  would there not also be some sort of SOSUS system in place?

Yes. One around the Denmark straits and one from Norway to Denmark and along with the one from Greenland, Iceland and Scotland. Plus always subs and sensors outside the Murmanskins peninsula.
Posted by: DarthVader || 09/28/2022 21:47 Comments || Top||

#22  I would ask when was the last time there was an exterior inspection of the pipeline, and how often?

I think what I am trying to get at is at what point does and Evil NUMA plot get a little out of hand, like But Dirk Pitt found a 1:15 scale Rolls Royce custom model at the site!

I might be off here, but I'm picturing in my mind a sonar system working with that ping map as a traffic camera of sorts.

Russian Defense Ministry spoke about the new exploits of the Russian military in a special operation
Direct Translate via Google Translate. Edited.


[IZ] The Russian Defense Ministry reported on the new heroic deeds of Russian soldiers, their professionalism and dedication, thanks to which the RF Armed Forces successfully carry out their tasks during a special operation to protect the civilian population of Donbass .

Iskra caught fire: Russian Aerospace Forces hit a plant repairing HIMARS
Two workshops of an enterprise in Zaporozhye, serving American multiple launch rocket systems, were destroyed.

Senior Sergeant Alexander Alekshin, noted in the defense department, performed fire missions as a platoon commander of a nomadic combat vehicle of a multiple rocket launcher system for fire damage to critical targets and positions of Ukrainian nationalists. The next task of the sergeant was to hit the enemy preparing to go on the offensive.

Alekshin single-handedly calculated the target firing settings and, orienting the combat vehicle, achieved successful hitting results from the first projectile. As a result of the fire raid, two mortar sections of Ukrainian nationalists, two vehicles with ammunition, one infantry fighting vehicle, and up to 20 nationalists were destroyed.

In addition, the Ministry of Defense spoke about the successful completion of a combat mission for artillery support of Russian units engaged in a defensive battle by Senior Lieutenant Ivan Zavyalov. The soldier personally destroyed the enemy unit deploying in offensive formations.

It is noted that Ukrainian nationalists struck at the junction of the defensive orders of the unit, which could lead to a breakthrough. Zavyalov was able to quickly orient himself. As a result of an artillery raid, two tanks, four enemy armored vehicles, and eight vehicles of Ukrainian nationalists were destroyed.

Sergeant Alexei Korolev, added to the Russian Defense Ministry, in the course of defensive battles, carried out adjustments to the artillery fire of the division. His position was discovered, and the enemy opened massive fire to destroy the spotter.

Korolev, despite the close breaks, continued to adjust the fire of the division, which made it possible to suppress the enemy’s firepower in the shortest possible time, as well as to disrupt the offensive of the nationalist motorized infantry units advancing to the lines of attack.

Further, changing position, the sergeant noticed a medical support vehicle moving towards his firing position. Due to a close gap, the car lost speed. Under enemy fire, Alexei Korolev provided first aid to three servicemen who were injured as a result of an artillery hit.

The department also spoke about Captain Roman Panfilov, who, despite the artillery shelling of the enemy's MLRS, organized interaction between artillery and combined arms units to obtain operational intelligence data on the enemy's concentration, as well as continuous stable fire control of artillery units.

It is specified that the enemy suffered significant damage. Three armored personnel carriers, four artillery pieces, including Western-made ones, and up to 30 nationalists were destroyed. As a result, the offensive of the Ukrainian nationalists was thwarted.

Earlier, on September 27, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov, said that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed the Ukrainian ground control station of the Bayraktar unmanned aerial vehicles complex in the area of the settlement of Lozovatka, Dnepropetrovsk region . He noted that over the past 24 hours, Russian troops hit six command posts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in areas in six settlements.

Russia continues the special operation, the beginning of which was announced on February 24 by President Vladimir Putin . The decision to hold it was made against the backdrop of the aggravated situation in the region as a result of increased shelling by Ukrainian troops.



From a V Kontakte entry:
⭕Briefly on the Oskol Front.

The situation is tense, the Ukrainians do not reduce the intensity, the artillery is mainly working, covering the sorties of small groups of 15 people in pickup trucks. Tanks roll out from the south of Liman, fire at positions and roadblocks, and leave.

But our really well done. Morale is high, which is the most important component of combat work. 20 AP and the volunteers fight off the attacks without any panic. Today the Ukrainians attacked n / a Ukrainian, tried to jump in from three sides at once. But the units of the "twice guards" 20 OA held their positions.

I would like to note one interesting feature. Before the offensive, the Ukrainan conducts artillery preparation not only in the offensive sector, but along the entire front at once, apparently, so that the direction of the attack would not be calculated.

From a V Kontakte entry:
Today, soldiers of the "North" and "South" units of the Russian Guard in the Chechen Republic repelled a sudden attack by the Ukrainian military on one of the most difficult sections of the line of contact with the enemy.

The fighting lasted all day. But our fighters did not yield a single meter, and moreover, they defeated the Ukrainians.

The result of the battle: complete demoralization and demilitarization of the enemy and the shameful flight of the remnants of his forces away from the lead rain of the Chechen National Guard.

There are no losses among the personnel of our units. Only one was wounded in the arm, but nothing threatens his life and health, he is in the ranks.



From a V Kontakte entry:
⚔Heavy battles are going on: the enemy is throwing large forces at Krasny Liman

Data from ours from the spot:

▪The enemy continues to throw troops into attacks on different sectors of the front near Liman, trying to cut off our grouping.

▪The assault company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of the BMP, tried to break through the defenses from the eastern side of the Liman. Having met fierce resistance from our fighters, the Ukrainians lost three infantry fighting vehicles and 2 pickup trucks, the remnants retreated to Dibrovo, not even taking the wounded and the bodies of the dead with them.

▪In the area of ​​​​Drobyshevo and Novoselovka, five attempts to infiltrate Ukrainian DRGs were prevented. Novoselovka itself was practically wiped off the face of the earth, the main forces left it.

▪The Armed Forces of Ukraine are attempting an offensive from Ozerny and Shchurovo.

▪A group of militants entrenched themselves in the Novoye area, from where enemy troops are trying to advance in the direction of Zelenaya Dolina.

▪The enemy is continuously attacking Drobyshevo, using artillery and helicopters, enemy attacks are repulsed by Bars-13, Russian Legion, and units of the 40th Army.

▪Heavy fighting in the district of Shandrigolova, the enemy was able to advance here.

▪The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to cut off the supply of the Limansky group, they are hitting the Svatovo-Kremennaya highway.

▪Ours are redeploying reinforcements and actively working with artillery.

▪The Russian Aerospace Forces continue to strike at the enemy.

▪The reconnaissance groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine work in the areas of the settlement. Yampol, Torskoye.

From a V Kontakte entry:
❗SOLEDAR ❗

Summary of the 6th separate Cossack regiment for September 27:

Positional battles were fought by the enemy throughout the day!

Due to the fact that recently we have been receiving more and more reconnaissance equipment and UAVs, we have the opportunity to qualitatively correct artillery fire!

Today, enemy losses from our coordinated actions were destroyed by artillery fire - MLRS BM-21 - one unit, BMP-2 - one unit, self-propelled guns 2S1 - one unit, D-30 gun - one unit, pickup truck - two units , ATGM fire destroyed BMP-2 - one unit, pickup truck - one unit, bunker - two, fire of small arms and automatic grenade launchers 24 nationalists.

Sabotage suspected after leaks in Russian gas pipelines, leak is huge, CIA warned of attack weeks ago
[TWITTER]

CIA weeks ago warned Germany about possible attacks on gas pipelines, weekly Der Spiegel reports

German authorities are not ruling out an attack on Russian gas pipelines after it was confirmed that heavy underwater explosions were recorded in the same area as the gas leaks on Monday, German weekly Der Spiegel reported.

"Following sudden pressure drops in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines on Monday, there is concern in the German government that this could be a assassination on European gas infrastructure and gas markets," according to the weekly.

Citing unnamed sources, it said that the American CIA had weeks ago warned Germany about possible attacks on gas pipelines.

Earlier, measuring stations, which record earthquakes and explosions in both Sweden and Denmark, recorded heavy underwater explosions, said a Swedish broadcaster SVT Nyheter.

One of them had a magnitude of 2.3 on the Richter scale and was registered at measuring stations throughout the country, according to the broadcaster.

Bjorn Lund, a lecturer in seismology at the Swedish National Seismic Network, said that "there is no doubt that these are blasts or explosions," SVT Nyheter reported.

He added that only a blast or explosion could have caused the waves to bounce from the bottom to the surface.

"We even had a station in Kalix that picked this up," said Lund.

The first explosion was registered at 2:03 a.m. (0003GMT) local time on Monday and the second at 7:04 p.m. (1704GMT), said the broadcaster.

The warnings about the gas leaks came from the Swedish Maritime Administration at 1:52 p.m. local time (1152GMT) and 8:41 p.m. (1641GMT), after ships detected bubbles on the surface, it added.

#1  Fvcking Poles.

Who else could it be? No one else hates the Russians and Germans equally.

Then again Biden let the cat out of the bag last year when he told German reporters, “I promise you, we will not let Nord Stream 2 happen.”

So it’s likely our Langley friends using the Polacks as their plausibly-deniable cat’s paw.

Then Biden approved Nord Stream 2, going against nearly unanimous opposition from the US and European (non-German) polity.

Why would they? The Russians control the inputs to it and had already shut it off. Would be easier to blow up the ones going through Ukraine and blame them for it. Makes no sense.

Poland, Nordic countries or the Baltic states make a lot more sense. Keeps the Germans from backing out.

#6  Ref #5: Exc point DV. Unless you're a totally detached moron like Brandon, why would you shut off an excellent income stream.....unless, false flag.

If we could only kick this Ukie shi*storm up a notch, we could declare a national 'duck & cover' emergency and postpone US elections.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: September 27th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:29 "Heads of administrations" of the occupied Ukrainian territories announced the results of "referendums" on joining the Russian Federation: "LPR" - 98.42%, "DPR" - 99.23%, Zaporozhye region - 93.11%, Kherson - 87 .05%.

23:43 Zelensky said in an evening video message that no criminal actions of Russia will change anything for Ukraine: "We recognize the UN Charter, we recognize the basic principles of the coexistence of peoples and we will continue to act in order to protect normal life in Ukraine, Europe and world... This farce in the occupied territory cannot even be called an imitation of referendums. As for the front, I will say briefly and without details for now, although they will be good ones: we are moving forward and liberating our land."

“We knew in advance what they would draw instead of the result. Allegedly, the turnout, supposedly percentages. Even intelligence did not have to try hard. The agreed figures for this farce were thrown into the media. Russia is not even hiding. The only rational response to such audacity of the occupier "even more support for Ukraine. And I thank our partners who confirm such support: defense, financial, sanctions," the president stressed.

23:27 Zelensky said at a meeting of the UN Security Council, convened at the initiative of Ukraine, that after the "referendums" there is nothing to talk about with Putin: "Russia already despises the UN Charter. Russia is already violating any rules of this world. So it's only a matter of time, when it destroys this last international institution that can still function... Russia's recognition of pseudo-referendums as supposedly normal, the implementation of the so-called Crimean scenario and another attempt to annex Ukrainian territory will mean that there is nothing to talk about with this president of Russia. a move that puts him alone against all mankind."

22:58 A draft short-term budget resolution has been submitted to the US Congress providing for a $12.35 billion aid package for Ukraine, which is $600 million more than the White House's request, Arakhamia said from the scene. In particular, according to him, 7.8 billion dollars are allocated for defense, 4.5 billion dollars - for direct budgetary support to Ukraine. The document also renews the Administration's authority to transfer $3.7 billion worth of arms and equipment directly from US stockpiles to Ukraine in the new fiscal year.

22:24 Iranian combat drones, which the Russian invaders received at the end of summer, have begun massively attacking rear cities in Ukraine, in particular Odessa and Dnipro, in recent days. Most of them were shot down by Ukrainian air defense forces, but the rest hit the target. Previously, experts doubted the effectiveness of Iranian drones. How things are now - in the material Iranian UAVs are attacking cities .

21:51 US intelligence agencies warned the German federal government in the summer about the risk of possible attacks on Russian pipelines running along the bottom of the Baltic Sea, and Berlin, shortly before the incident, even suggested that this could happen, writes Spiegel.

21:24 The Polish Foreign Ministry, following the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry, recommended its citizens to leave the territory of Russia.

21:22 Swedish seismologists believe that the Nord Stream incidents are related to explosions, not earthquakes, writes Reuters. In turn, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen also said that the leaks in the Nord Stream are considered as the result of deliberate actions.

21:14 The Russians attacked Kharkov, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Mayor Igor Terekhov clarified that the Kholodnogorsk district was hit - according to preliminary information, an infrastructure facility was damaged, and there was no electricity in some areas of the city.

20:59 Over the current day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Soledar, Mayorsk, Kurdyumovka, Zaitsevo, Bakhmut, Bakhmutskoye, Vyemka, Disputed, Pervomayskoye and Kamenka, the General Staff said in an evening summary .

20:36 Ukraine receives equipment from the United States to combat Iranian drones, produced jointly with Israel, with its consent, Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel Yevgeny Korniychuk said on the air of the telethon: "Iranian drones are copies of American ones that were shot down by Iran in Syria. Of course ", the Israeli industry that works in this sector is, in fact, a joint venture with the United States. And, according to my information, it is from the United States that we are already getting what we need. Again, not without the consent of Israel."

20:20 Blinken confirmed that Washington has no objection to Kiev using Western weapons against regions that may "become" part of the Russian Federation after pseudo-referendums.

19:52 NATO does not recognize "referenda" in the occupied Ukrainian territories, they are a gross violation of international law, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. He also urged NATO countries to restock ammunition as soon as possible to continue supporting Ukraine.

19:31 From the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of Russia, Ukraine has been persistently asking its partners to provide air defense systems. One of the latest air defense systems in service with NATO countries is the NASAMS complex. More details - in the material How the complex will help the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

19:08 The EU border control agency Frontex recorded an increase in the number of Russians crossing the EU border after the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation. So, over the past week, almost 66,000 Russian citizens entered the EU, which is more than 30% more than the previous week. Most of them arrived in Finland and Estonia.

In total, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 1.3 million Russian citizens entered the EU through its land borders, while 1.27 million returned to Russia.

19:04 Ministers of Defense of the Visegrad Group countries (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic) agreed with further support for Ukraine and confirmed that the territorial integrity of Ukraine is their common interest. At the meeting, it was decided to focus on demining Ukrainian territory in the near future.

All countries, except Hungary, confirmed their readiness for further military assistance to Ukraine. Thus, the Minister of Defense of Slovakia confirmed that his country could transfer decommissioned MiG-29 fighters if it receives compensation for them. Among other areas of support, representatives of the Visegrad Group named assistance in the repair of military equipment and the rehabilitation of Ukrainian servicemen.

18:51 The Cabinet of Ministers has completely banned the export of goods from Ukraine to the customs territory of Russia. The resolution will be valid until the termination or cancellation of martial law and the termination of unfriendly actions of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

18:45 At the Upper Lars border checkpoint between North Ossetia and Georgia, summonses will be handed over to everyone who is subject to conscription, said the head of North Ossetia, Sergei Menyailo. He specified that this would also apply to "citizens who are registered with the military not only in North Ossetia, but also in other regions of the country."

18:13 Ukraine expects two NASAMS batteries from the United States - these are 16 missile launchers. Now they are preparing to transfer them to the Ukrainian military, said Colonel Yuriy Ignat, a representative of the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. One NASAMS battery will be able to protect entire squares or a region - each installation can be placed at a distance of up to 25 km. The mobile anti-aircraft battery consists of 8-12 launchers, depending on the modification, 3-8 AN / TPQ-64 radar stations, two fire control systems, charging and command vehicles.

18:07 The House of Commons of the Parliament of Canada unanimously adopted a statement condemning the fake "referenda" in the occupied Ukrainian territories. The House of Commons confirms that the territory of Ukraine is as recognized at the time of the signing of the Budapest Memorandum, and includes Crimea and Donbas illegally occupied by Russia in 2014.

In addition, the Canadian deputies called on the government of the country to provide additional support to Ukraine until all territories are returned under the sovereign control of the Ukrainian government, including by strengthening sanctions against Russia and providing additional military, humanitarian and financial assistance.

17:48 Danilov on negotiations with Moscow: "Ukraine has never been against negotiations with the Russian Federation ... regarding indemnities and reparations. The longer the Kremlin regime delays these negotiations, the worse the conditions and the greater the amount. The tasks of de-occupying Ukraine and defragmenting Russia will be completed in full, according to plans and schedules.

17:43 In Mariupol, mobilization will start on October 10, Piotr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of the city, said referring to the "documents" of the occupation administration. They also deal with the reservation of emergency hospital workers at the time of mobilization.

17:38 About 800 Azov residents remain in captivity, of which more than 40 are women, there are pregnant women, Olga Kravchenko, head of the department for working with prisoners and their families of the Azov Patronage Service, said on Suspіlny.

17:36 Among the invaders killed in Ukraine, slightly less than 40% were representatives of non-Slavic ethnic groups. According to the GUR MOU, the top five regions with the highest number of victims included the republics of Dagestan and Buryatia, Krasnodar Territory, Bashkortostan and Volgograd Region. At the same time, the number of dead soldiers from poor regions is much higher than from developed ones.

According to Ukrainian military intelligence, after Putin signed the decree on mobilization, the mortality map in the regions will change significantly. Summons are received by thousands of representatives of the intelligentsia and private business from the central regions of Russia and industrial giants. If working professions are still provided with deferrals from conscription, then it is the Russian intelligentsia that will die in the war in Ukraine.

17:25 At a meeting on October 4, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation will consider the possibility of the "DPR", "LPR", Kherson and Zaporozhye regions joining Russia with a positive outcome of the "referendums", speaker Valentina Matvienko said.

17:16 The Bulgarian Foreign Ministry asks its citizens to urgently leave the territory of the Russian Federation, using all possible means of transportation, due to the increasingly difficult situation.

16:41 Podolyak is sure that Russia itself caused the accident on the Nord Stream: “Large-scale“ gas leak ”from SP-1 is nothing more than a terrorist attack planned by Russia and an act of aggression in the direction of the EU. Russia wants to destabilize the economic situation in Europe and cause panic before winter. The best response to a tyrant and an investment in security are tanks for Ukraine. Especially German ones…"

16:29 Russian media publish the first "interim results" of pseudo-referendums on joining the occupied territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. "For" entry into Russia allegedly voted from 97% to 98% of the population.

16:24 The occupiers are closing Mariupol for exits in order to carry out forced mobilization in the city, the mayor of the city Vadym Boychenko said: "We see from the statistics that if a week ago about 80-120 people left for Ukraine a day, then over the past day they left There are eight people in Mariupol, which means that Mariupol is being shut down." The mayor urged men of military age to leave the city as soon as possible by any means.

15:59 The community of railway workers of Belarus reported that a set of measures is being taken to check the country's railway infrastructure. The Belaruska Gayun monitoring group believes that these actions may indicate preparations for receiving military trains from the Russian Federation.

15:25 The Federation Council will not hold extraordinary meetings to adopt laws on the "entry" into Russia of new subjects, the next one will be held on October 4, according to Senator Andrey Klishas.

15:18 The French Foreign Ministry announced that French investigators would work in Izyum: "The investigators of the National Gendarmerie have just arrived in Ukraine. Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna presented them to Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin. Tomorrow they will be deployed in the Izyum region."

15:11 Russia purposefully launched Shahed-136 Iranian kamikaze drones in Uman to attack Hasidic Jews who are now celebrating Rosh Hashanah in the city, Babel reports, citing sources in the special services. According to them, over the past few days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down more than ten Shahed-136s in the south of Ukraine. Some of these drones were launched from the territory of the occupied Crimea and sent to Uman. The Russians wanted to get into the Hasidic religious sites with a large crowd of people.

14:55 In Mariupol, they began to mobilize local residents. According to the city council, the occupiers refer to the fact that the city will be part of Russia according to the results of the "referendum". The department calls on Mariupol residents to leave the city while there is such an opportunity.

14:26 Residents of the occupied Energodar are forced to "vote" in a pseudo-referendum, and those who refuse are promised "mobilization". According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the occupiers forbade residents from leaving the territory controlled by Ukraine and generally outside the city. They especially control the workers of the operational shifts of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

The local population sits at home, trying not to go out unless absolutely necessary. Military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces are patrolling the streets with "ballots". They point weapons at everyone they meet and indicate where to put a tick. Frequent cases of coercion to vote for long-dead relatives have been recorded.

14:10 Soldiers of the 92nd brigade reported that in the Kharkiv region, in the forest near Kupyansk, they captured a resident of the Rostov region who was mobilized five days ago. He deserted from his military unit and tried to return to the Russian Federation, but got lost.

13:37 In the Baltic Sea, three strings of the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream have been destroyed, a gas leak has been noticed, the operator reports. The Russian authorities have already said that "targeted sabotage" could have caused the destruction. It is not yet possible to estimate the timing of the restoration of the gas transmission infrastructure.

13:32 Non-single facts of the export of people from the Kharkiv region to Russia - mostly children - are being confirmed, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said. According to him, now the local authorities, together with the Ministry of Reintegration, are working to return Ukrainian children home.

He also said that the Ukrainian military continues to liberate the Kharkiv region from the invaders. Fighting is going on on the left bank of the Oskol River, the Russians are losing their logistical routes.

12:54 Peskov said that Russia "remains ready" to negotiate with Ukraine, "but the situation and conditions are changing," while the principle of the goals of the "military operation" is preserved.

12:31 The Armed Forces of Ukraine have established control over the village of Kupyansk-Uzlovaya, Kharkiv region , the head of the UVA, Oleg Sinegubov, said. According to him, about 6% of the territory of the Kharkiv region is still occupied.

11:59 The military commissar of the Magadan region of the Russian Federation was dismissed "due to errors during partial mobilization," Russian media write. Earlier in Magadan there was a series of scandals with mobilization.

11:57 French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said that she had arrived in Kiev: "Good morning, Ukraine, I'm glad to be back. France is there to support Ukraine."

11:39 Russia is deploying a mobilization point of the military registration and enlistment office at the Verkhniy Lars checkpoint on the border with Georgia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Ossetia reported. A convoy of Russian military equipment is also sent there. At the same time, the Russians were allowed to cross this checkpoint on foot, although it was not intended for this. We made this decision due to a significant increase in the number of light vehicles moving towards Georgia. On the eve of the Upper Lars was allowed to cross on bicycles and scooters.

11:12 Washington still sees no signs that China is preparing to facilitate the Russian invasion of Ukraine or help Russia bypass sanctions, State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

10:58 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) also predicts that Russia may announce the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine before October 1. This could be done in order to forcibly send Ukrainian citizens to war against the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of the autumn conscription campaign, analysts say.

10:36 Since September 21, when "partial mobilization" was announced in the Russian Federation, 98 thousand Russians have entered Kazakhstan, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs reported. Tokayev said he intends to discuss this issue with the Russian authorities.

10:12 British intelligence predicts that Putin will announce the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine on September 30 during an address to the chambers of the Russian parliament. Russian leaders hope that the announcement of the annexation of territories will be seen as justification for a "special military operation" and bolster patriotic support for the conflict. But those goals are likely to be undermined by growing domestic awareness of Russia's recent battlefield setbacks and worries about partial mobilization, analysts say.

10:08 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of September 27th. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Kramatorsk and Donetsk directions.

09:59 Medvedev said that if Russia is "forced" to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, NATO will not directly intervene and "swallow the use of any weapon in the current conflict." He also said that Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons "if necessary, if we or our allies are attacked using this type of weapon. Or if the very existence of our state is threatened by aggression using conventional weapons."

09:52 In the Odessa region this morning, air defense shot down three Shahed-136 Iranian kamikaze drones, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

09:28 In Kupyansk, as a result of yesterday's shelling, a church school, an outbuilding and a store were on fire, five people were hospitalized with injuries.

This morning in Dvurechnaya, the driver of the Center for Emergency Medical Assistance was killed during shelling, said Oleg Sinegubov, head of the Kharkiv OVA.

09:24 The occupiers in the Lugansk region began to call for doctors, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai. He also said that in Novopskov, in order to increase the turnout at the pseudo-referendum, two soldiers per person go home, and the “observer” from the Netherlands admitted that she had lived in Russia before the war. According to Gaidai, ammunition depots and places where Russians gathered were destroyed in almost every community in the region.

09:15 In the Donetsk region, as a result of Russian shelling over the past day, three civilians were killed - two in Bakhmut and one in Khromovo. Another 13 people were injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

1920 After the armistice with the Polish nationalists
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Oleg Airapetov

Of course, the peasantry had to build a bright non-Soviet future for the country, which would unite not to restore the old order, but to build a new system based "on the principles of equality and freedom."

[REGNUM] Successes in the fight against the Soviet troops gave Warsaw the opportunity to focus on other issues. One of the most desired trophies for Piłsudski was the Vilna region. On October 9, 1920, General Lucian Zheligovsky captured the capital of Lithuania, Vilna. Formally, he acted on his own initiative, and was even declared a rebel by the "head of state". Zheligovsky's corps did not meet much resistance, despite the calls of the Lithuanian authorities to stop the Polish invasion of the capital with weapons in their hands.

Donbass referendums' results revealed, blank ballots seen counted: Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporozhye all choose Russia
[RT] The majority of citizens of both the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) have supported the idea to unite with Russia, according to local election commissions.

In DPR, more than 98% of voters supported the idea to join Russia, according to early official figures. The referendum in LPR yielded a similar result, with more than 97% of voters supporting the potential reunification. In Lugansk, all the ballots have been already counted, according to local authorities, while Donetsk, so far, has processed just over a half of votes.

The polls were conducted in the republics, as well as in Moscow-controlled parts of Ukraine’s Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, between September 23 and 27.

Both republics, which broke away from Kiev in the aftermath of the 2014 Maidan coup and the conflict in Ukraine’s east that followed, have shown a turnout of over 80% for the referendums, official figures show.

Ukraine and its Western supporters have already rejected the referendums on joining Russia as a "sham" ballot, vowing to not recognize the results regardless of their outcome. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky warned that completion of the referendums by Russia would "make it impossible, in any case, to continue any diplomatic negotiations" with Moscow.

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and La Belle France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and "create powerful armed forces."

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

Russians fearing conscription flood across border to Georgia and Mongolia
[NBC] Russians trying to avoid getting conscripted to fight in Ukraine appeared to be trying to cross the border into Georgia, Kazakhstan and even remote Mongolia, satellite imagery suggested Monday.

Video obtained by Colorado-based Maxar Technology showed long lines of cargo trucks and private vehicles leaving Russia and entering the neighboring countries in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin's mobilization order.

Russian border guards didn’t appear to be trying to stop them.

"When we found out about the mobilization, we dropped everything at home and jumped in the car," Dmitry Kuriliyunok told Reuters in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia.

Kuriliyunok said he, his wife, Irina, and their young daughter first drove across southern Russia from Krasnodar to Mineralnye Vody in the North Caucasus, which has become a staging post for many Russians crossing into Georgia.

There, Kuriliyunok said, they hired a local driver to take them through the border checkpoints. And after 24 hours, they arrived in Tbilisi.

"We are completely against this war," he said. "For us, like for others, it’s scary. To die and to kill others, and for what? We don’t understand. Therefore, we decided to flee."

They are far from the only Russians who have made the trek.
