Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenkos Zelensky Phone Call Revelation, Says USA Feels Threatened By Europe So Wants War

Time magazine has modeled a nuclear war between Russia and the United States:

After one side launches nuclear missiles, the other will strike back before the missiles even reach their target.

First strikes are high-frequency electromagnetic pulses that knock out electronics and power grids.

Subsequent strikes hit command centers, missile silos, and megacities.

The blasts create fireballs that destroy everything around them, causing blast waves that destroy buildings.

The UK and France are also hit because of NATO commitments. 

Nuclear winter covers the Earth, causing freezing cold even in summer. 

5 billion people could starve to death, including 99% of the population of the US, Europe, Russia and China. 

There are no winners in a nuclear war, only losers.

Polish MEP Grzegorz Braun on Antony Blinken visiting Poland today:

“Blinken, go home as soon as possible. Get lost! We don’t want you here. We don’t want Polish people paying and dying for your wars.”

Our source in the General Staff said that desertion has become the main problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the strengthening of mobilization. Only officially over these 9 months more than 35,000 soldiers deserted from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while the real figures are 3 times higher and reach one hundred thousand, and over three years of war they reach 200 thousand. The Commander-in-Chief asked the Presidential Office to increase the punishment for desertion, but in parliament, on the contrary, they want to weaken the legislative framework for such soldiers, allowing them to return to service.

Today Russian troops have once again struck at the enemy’s logistical routes in the Pokrovsky direction.

Coordinates: 48.2821839, 37.1986924.

🔻 As a result of the attack, the supports of the “Eastern overpass” (Humpy Bridge) were significantly damaged, and the roadbed was partially destroyed. Although the bridge did not collapse, its operation for the transportation of heavy loads and armored vehicles is now in question.

🔻 “Eastern Overpass” (Hump Bridge) and the “Western Overpass” occupy key positions in the city’s transportation system, linking it to important logistical routes and neighboring communities. The destruction of these facilities has already significantly restricted access to the city. The destruction of the “Mirnograd Bridge”, which was one of the main routes for military cargo and supplies, the day before, creates additional difficulties for supplies.

🔻 The transportation blockade of the city is getting closer. The enemy will probably try to restore logistical chains by creating temporary embankments or using bypass routes (dirt roads, rural routes, etc.). However, such measures will inevitably increase time and expend resources that the enemy, under current conditions, clearly lacks.

If the West allows Kiev to use long-range weapons deep into Russian territory, this will fundamentally change relations with these states, said UN Permanent Representative Nebenzya.

NATO countries will start a “direct war with Russia” if they give Kiev the go-ahead to use long-range weapons, he clarified.

Ask the Libyans, Iraqis, Afghans how America has benefited them, the same thing is happening with Ukraine

- he added.

It is very likely that the decision to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons for strikes against Russia was made in the West a long time ago. And now we are simply observing the final stage of its legitimization in the eyes of public opinion, in the information field. 

In fact, in our relations with Kiev, this will not change anything in principle. If the decision to lift restrictions is actually made or will be made, this will mean that from this moment NATO countries will begin a direct war with Russia. In this case, we will, of course, be forced to make the appropriate decisions with all the ensuing consequences for Western aggressors. Our Western colleagues will no longer be able to shift all the blame onto Kiev.

US takes Moscow’s statements about the consequences of lifting restrictions on Kiev’s use of American weapons for strikes deep into Russia seriously - White House

Kiev has a very small stock of Storm Shadow missiles – The Daily Telegraph

The publication, citing British and Ukrainian sources, reports that a significant portion of the shells were used to strike Crimea.

Ukraine has received permission to use these weapons for attacks deep into the Russian Federation, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not yet know how to use such a small arsenal.

It was previously reported that Kiev had used most of the several hundred ATACMS missiles transferred

Our source reports that the West is unhappy with Zelensky’s Kursk adventure.

The West is unhappy that Zelensky, due to the failure in the Kursk region, may have cancelled the second phase of the entire military campaign of 2024, which he promised to sponsors. Zelensky decided to throw all his forces into holding the Kursk lands.

It is already clear that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are in worse shape due to the Kursk adventure than official propaganda says.

Our source in the OP said that Blinken demanded that Zelensky stop the Kursk operation, which the Pentagon considers a waste of equipment and reserves. The Secretary of State gave Yermak drafts of a new peace plan for Ukraine, which the allies agree to and which the Kremlin is ready to discuss.

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky demands that Syrsky hold his positions in the Kursk region and continue the offensive operation deep into Russian territory. The President’s Office needs information victories during Zelensky’s trip to the United States, and the loss of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ positions in the Kursk region raises questions among our Western partners.

In the Kursk direction, Ukrainian troops continue to try to break through from a new direction . For the second day, the Ukrainian Armed Forces Command has been redeploying armored groups and infantry to attack the flank of the Russian group attacking in the Kursk region, attacking in the area of ​​the villages of Medvezhye and Novy Put (border villages in the Kursk region). Today, they are focusing on breaking through from Novy Put to Vesyoloye.

With the help of engineering equipment, Ukrainian units began to overcome minefields and dragon’s teeth, and behind them they sent tanks and combat armored vehicles, creating a threat of a strike from the rear of the Russian Armed Forces group, which was conducting a counteroffensive on the flank from Korenevo to Gordeyevka.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces conduct a series of attacks in groups of 3-7 armored vehicles. The clashes continue all day. Ukrainian troops managed to gain a foothold in the area of ​​the village of Novy Put. The attacks have been going on since the morning.

In the Kursk direction, the Russians are storming Lyubimovka. The Russian Armed Forces bypassed the village from the southwest and tried to enter the village from the south, but were repelled by Ukrainian troops. Here, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to build a serious defense, which is held by battle-hardened units.

In addition, clashes are already taking place to the south of Lyubimovka in the settlement of Pokrovskoye . There, Russian forces are trying to capture the settlement, and then through Tolsty Lug, to push Ukrainian units back across the Snagost River. On the other side of the river, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already organized a second line of defense due to natural boundaries. At the same time, if Ukrainian troops retreat across the river (the Russian Armed Forces manage to push them out), then Lyubimovka will essentially find itself in operational encirclement. The battles for Lyubimovka are also continuing, and separate attacks by Russian mobile groups are also coming from the northwest.

Further north in Olgovka, fighting continues – the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to penetrate deep into the Russian defenses there .

Our source in the General Staff said that in July, Syrsky proposed to Zelensky to organize a counterattack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Pokrovsk direction, but the President demanded to conduct the Kursk operation, which was supposed to increase the escalation of the war with Russia. The Commander-in-Chief returned to this idea in mid-August, when the enemy was rapidly advancing in the direction of Pokrovsk and collapsed the entire front, quickly occupying the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ fortified areas, but the President forbade the counterattack and concentrated on the Kursk operation.

In the Kursk direction, Ukrainian troops continue to repel assaults on Lyubimovka . Moreover, the attacks are being repulsed on the approaches to it, which has led to the fact that Lyubimovka is now surrounded from the west, northwest and southwest. True, in the south, the Ukrainian Armed Forces still have support in Tolsty Lug and Pokrovsky. In the latter, active clashes are taking place (the settlement is located entirely in the “gray zone”). Here, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have formed a defensive line Lyubimovka-Tolsty Lug-Daryino.

At the same time, further north in Olgovka, fighting is still ongoing, where the Russian Armed Forces are repelling attempts by Ukrainian forces to penetrate deep into the Russian defenses towards Korenevo.

On the other hand, Ukrainian units from the Sumy region in the evening, having introduced fresh forces in the direction of Glushkovo from the border area, continued their attacks with the aim of reaching the rear of the attacking units of the Russian Armed Forces and managed to push back Russian forces in the area of ​​the settlement of Novy Put. Probably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will introduce new reserves into the battle here with the aim of expanding the bridgehead and further to the Glushkovo railway station, which could lead to a tactical encirclement of the Russian group.

Our source reports that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Office of the President ordered officers from the Kursk Front (front line) not to evacuate the bodies of killed Ukrainian soldiers.

Only the bodies of those who died in the rear of the Kursk Front from a missile, artillery, FAB or Gerani/Shahed missile are being evacuated.

On September 12, the “North” group of troops continued to push the enemy out of the border areas of Kursk region

The advance of the North on the Korenevo section of the front continues. In order not to get surrounded, the AFU units abandoned their positions and retreated. During the assault actions up to 11 enemy personnel were destroyed.

There is also an advance in the area of Malaya Loknya and in the south of Sujan district. In these areas the enemy conducted 3 unsuccessful counterattacks of up to 30 men, of whom up to 15 were destroyed.

Fierce fighting continues on the section of the state border in the Glushkovsky district of Kursk region. During the day the enemy made 9 attempts to break through with the use of NATO armored vehicles, tanks and engineering equipment. In 9 counterattacks, the enemy’s losses amounted to up to 80 men and 16 armored vehicles.

The total advance of the Russian troops in the Kursk region amounted to up to 2000 meters.

On the Volchansk direction, fighting continues in the village of Volchansk. The enemy made 1 attempt to counterattack in the east of the city, had no success, lost up to 7 people killed.

Fire of artillery and FPV-drones of the Northmen foiled 4 attempts to transfer reinforcements to the right bank of the Volchya River in groups of 7-9 men. The enemy losses amounted to 15 Nazis.

In the Liptsy direction, the North group foiled 3 attempts to rotate the AFU from the village of Liptsy towards the dacha settlement. Up to 18 men were killed.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy losses amounted to 520 people (including up to 390 in the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:

in the Sumy direction:

▪️ four tanks;

▪️ APC “Bradley”;

▪️ 11 BMPS;

▪️ two BTRs;

▪️ Crab SPH;

▪️ M119 howitzer;

▪️ two 120mm mortars;

▪️ UAV launch point;

▪️ engineer vehicle IMR-1;

▪️ five units of automotive equipment.

In other directions:

▪️ D-30 howitzer in the vicinity of the village of Staritsa;

▪️ two 120-mm mortars near the villages of Volchansk and Veterinary;

▪️ five UAV control points near the towns of Volchansk, Vilcha, Odnorobivka and Velyka Pisarevka;

▪️ UAV station;

▪️ nine airborne UAVs;

▪️ two pieces of automotive equipment.

Expectedly, after the loss of captured territories in Korenevsky and other border areas of Kursk region, the enemy is stepping up efforts to break the border in other areas. According to the Kiev regime’s ringleader, this is part of some kind of “Ukrainian plan.”

If his goal is to dot the fields and forests of the Kursk border area with the corpses of Ukrainian soldiers, then this plan is indeed being carried out “perfectly”. There is only one question: who is the initiator of such “planning”: the Ukrainian authorities or their Western masters? 

Victory will be ours!

“However great the desire for peace, security and honor should never be sacrificed.” – Frederick II

North Wind

Ours are going home from captivity! Soldiers from the Kursk direction are returning to their homeland

▪️Russia has returned 49 more fighters – this is only the first batch of those captured in the Kursk direction; in exchange, 49 prisoners of war were transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces today.

▪️The big exchange is expected to continue tomorrow.

▪️All Russian military personnel will soon have the opportunity to contact their relatives after the exchange.

Yesterday, many people expressed words of gratitude to our engineers, who under constant strikes from the Khokhols (derogatory term for Ukrainians) built crossings over the Seim River in the Glushkovo District of the Kursk Region. Thanks to them, it was possible to transfer airborne and naval infantry units leading the liberation of the Kursk Region occupied by the enemy.

We would also like to express our deep gratitude to our comrades on the air from one of the electronic warfare units.

They were tracking enemy drones 24/7, which were conducting reconnaissance of our crossings and adjusting artillery fire.

Our warriors used electronic warfare means to intercept and jam their control channels. The video shows the result of their work – downed wings. Most likely from the 14th separate UAV regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Expensive wings.

Keep it up, guys! Good luck and take care of yourselves!

Kursk Direction: AFU Attack on Veseloye and Destruction of AFU Armored Vehicles in Kursk Region

Situation as of the end of September 13, 2024

While the Russian forces in the Kursk direction are advancing towards Lyubimovka, the Ukrainian formations have launched an attack on the right flank of the Russian Armed Forces’ defense.

🔻In the Glushkovo District, Ukrainian formations have occupied several buildings in the southern part of the settlement of Tetkino. Most likely, these positions have been under the control of the AFU for a long time, but it became possible to determine the actual front line in the area only after the publication (https://t.me/dva_majors/52348) of footage from objective control.

▪️To the east, the enemy, taking advantage of the diversion of a significant part of the forces to the counteroffensive operation of the Russian Armed Forces on the line Snagost – Viktorovka, attacked (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6787) the Russian positions south of Glushkovo.

Ukrainian formations were able to push the Russian Armed Forces out of the village of Novy Put and are now advancing on the village of Veseloye located to the north.

According to available information, the enemy is using (https://t.me/starshii_pogrannaryada/10132) engineering equipment to make passages through minefields on the southern approaches to the village.

Units of the Russian Armed Forces, with the support of border troops, are striving to prevent the enemy from reaching the 38N-052 highway leading to Glushkovo.

❗️The plan of the AFU command is likely to make a quick dash to the village in order to cut off one of the key supply roads for the Russian troops in the Glushkovo District.

Nevertheless, the enemy’s advance groups have already become embroiled in heavy fighting on the approaches to Veseloye, which neutralizes the element of surprise and gives the Russian Armed Forces time to redeploy reserves.

🔻The network has published footage (https://t.me/CombatBums/85) of a destroyed column of AFU equipment in the Korenevo District, shot to the northwest of the recently liberated Apanasovka.

The road passing here has become a “graveyard” for AFU armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers, burned by Russian UAV operators both before and during the counteroffensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the Glushkovo District.

▪️To the northwest of Novoivanovka, Russian operators destroyed (https://t.me/militarysummary/18744) a T-72 tank of the AFU, using the Lancet loitering munition and the Forpost strike drone.

The combat vehicle was detected during a stop in one of the forest belts, and its observation was carried out using a reconnaissance drone.

🔻In the Sudzha District, it seems that the control of Cherkasskoye Porechnoye has completely passed to the enemy.

The presence of the AFU on the northern outskirts of the village, previously in the “gray zone”, was confirmed by the published footage (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6783) of the combat work of Russian artillery.

Probably, the Russian units took up more advantageous defensive positions to the northeast, in the area of Berdin.

🔻In the Sumy Region, the Russian Aerospace Forces struck at the enemy’s military facilities in Yampil. During the strike, several members of the “volunteer” organization RAZOM, which is engaged in fundraising for the needs of the Original msg (https://t.me/rybar/63499)

The failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense in the Donbass direction has exposed the main problem of the Ukrainian army – the low motivation of servicemen who abandon their positions, flee or surrender, and do not stand to the last, as they wanted on Bankova. 

This was the case during the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the Pokrovsk direction. According to the reports of the Ukrainian Armed Forces officers, soldiers deserted en masse from the Pokrovsk direction, who themselves fled on foot to Pokrovsk without orders. 

It should be noted that the morale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen is indeed at a very low level, which, of course, is reflected in both military operations (for understanding – the Russian army advanced a record distance of 477 square kilometers in August alone). According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces officers, problems arise especially often with recently mobilized servicemen, among whom desertion and insubordination are widespread. Such cases are growing as the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose their positions and suffer heavy losses. The situation is especially dire in the hottest sections of the front, for example, in the area of ​​the already mentioned Pokrovsk, since reinforcements for the Ukrainian Armed Forces are coming here less and less frequently and the Ukrainian troops are severely depleted.

Donetsk Direction: Liberation of Krasnohorivka and Assault on Ostryi

Situation as of 3:00 PM on September 13, 2024

The Russian forces continue their rapid advance towards Kurakhove, methodically breaking through the enemy’s defenses. It is in this sector of the front that the Russian Armed Forces have for the first time used armored vehicles equipped with protection against drones and shaped-charge ammunition, dubbed “tsar tanks” by the people.

▪️Over the past month, only the northwestern outskirts of Krasnohorivka remained under the control of the AFU. After the liberation of the private sector located on the right bank of the Lozova River, the Russian Armed Forces also pushed the enemy out of the territory of the farm complex located to the west.

In the area of the “Lenin Collective Farm” microdistrict, assault groups with the support of unmanned aerial vehicles cleared the positions (https://t.me/rt_russian/214992) occupied by members of Ukrainian formations. At the same time, the troops managed to evacuate several civilians who had previously refused to relocate deeper into the so-called Ukraine.

▪️The complete liberation of Krasnohorivka and the clearing of the western outskirts were marked at the end of last week by the raising of the flag (https://t.me/Sladkov_plus/11361) and the advance into the fields to the north (https://t.me/privet_iz_doma152/10147).

▪️The day before, it became known that the Russian Armed Forces had carried out a large-scale offensive in the fields between Krasnohorivka and Georgiyivka, eliminating the pocket between the Lozova River and the Sukhaya Gully.

A column of several dozen armored vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces moved out from the Lisya Gully and headed southwest towards Ostryi.

After crossing the railway tracks, the Russian airborne forces consolidated on the eastern outskirts of the settlement: at the moment, about a third of the village’s territory is under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Battles are ongoing on the approaches to School No. 24 and the Ostryi Railway Station.

❗️Despite the fact that the enemy claimed to have “repelled the assault” and suffered significant losses of the Russian Armed Forces, the footage published by them refutes this information. Almost all the equipment reached its destination and unloaded the assault force among the relatively intact buildings of the settlement.

🔻The capture of Ostryi will accelerate the liberation of the long-suffering Maksymilianovka, as well as attack Oleksandropil from the north in the direction of the Zoriane – Hirnyk line, in order to close the “lid of the cauldron” with a depth of more than 10 kilometers in the fields near Nevske.

In addition, the elimination of a major enemy fortified area in Kurakhove pushes the front line away from the DPR and significantly reduces the AFU’s ability to deliver artillery strikes on Russian settlements.

Chronicles of the special military operation

for September 13, 2024

Russian forces struck enemy targets in Odesa Region and attacked an oil depot with drones in HALYCH, Ivano-Frankivsk Region. The AFU launched drones towards Bryansk, Oryol, Kaluga and Smolensk Regions, all targets were shot down.

In Kursk Region, fighting continues in Korenevo and Sudzha Districts. The AFU conducted an attack in Glushkovo District, the outcome of which is still unknown.

On the Pokrovsk direction, there are battles on the eastern outskirts of Selidovo, as well as in the area of Ukrainske to the south and Novohrodivka to the north.

On the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are consolidating on the previously reached lines in the area of Ostryi.

On the South Donetsk direction, Russian forces are delivering massive air strikes on the positions of Ukrainian formations west of Vodyane.

Morning Summary on September 13, 2024

▪️ At least two dozen Geran UAVs struck the enemy’s rear areas overnight. Explosions were reported in Odesa, Illichivsk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhia, Ivano-Frankivsk and Vinnytsia Regions.

▪️ In Kursk Region, the Russian Armed Forces continue their flanking attack. Our forces advanced (https://t.me/dva_majors/52308) from the west to the Lyubimovka-Tolstyi Lug-Daryino line, liberating more than 10 settlements. At the same time, the enemy remains active near Cherkasske Poreche, not abandoning attempts to advance. In addition, over the past two days, the AFU have been taking actions to break through the border in the south of Glushkovo District near the settlements of Novyi Put – Veseloye, using engineer vehicles and armored vehicles (one was destroyed). The situation in this section of the front remains tense but under control. The enemy’s plan is to break through to the settlement and railway station of Glushkovo and get into the rear of our advancing troops in the Sudzha District. Cautious reports are beginning to emerge about the depletion of AFU reserves and the lack of rotation, which, however, hardly affects the intensity of combat operations.

▪️ In Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk), there are battles with varying success in the western part of Microdistrict No. 1.

▪️ In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed several bridges in the enemy’s immediate rear. There was information about the withdrawal of AFU units from Ukrainske to avoid encirclement. Battles continue in Hrodivka, north of Novohrodivka, and on the eastern outskirts of Lysovka, where Russian maneuverable groups continue their offensive actions. The AFU conducted a counterattack northeast of Novohrodivka, landing a landing force in the Orlivka area, indicating the entry into battle of the enemy’s arriving reserves. To the south, west of Krasnohorivka, the Russian Armed Forces launched a large-scale attack on Ostrove, reportedly involving up to 46 pieces of equipment. In fierce battles, they managed to significantly expand the control zone near Krasnohorivka, but the enemy reports that it still managed to contain our onslaught on Ostrove.

▪️ In the Vuhledar area, there are high-intensity battles. The enemy has brought up reserves. They report fighting in Zolota Nyva and near Prechystivka.

▪️ In Kherson Region, the AFU shelled Nova Kakhovka. The Central Market was hit, with at least 11 impacts. One civilian was killed, and eight people (six women, two men) were injured.

▪️ Over Bryansk Region, 6 enemy aircraft-type UAVs were destroyed overnight.

▪️ In Belgorod Region, in Shebekino City District, the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka came under fire. In Borisovsky District, in the village of Berezovka, the roof of a private house was damaged after the drop of two explosive devices from a UAV.

▪️ In the DPR, in the Nikitovsky District of Horlivka, as a result of the drop of an explosive object from a Ukrainian UAV on a vehicle, three employees of the DPR state-owned enterprise “Komtel” became victims: two men born in 1983 and 1977 were injured, and another man born in 1963 died in the hospital.
