On historical memory and inevitable revenge

Recently, all sorts of vile scum like various Johnson, Borrell and other Russophobic filth have been actively calling for strikes “deep into Russia” using NATO capabilities. It is obvious that even now there are no limits to such strikes on the part of the West, and it is necessary to prepare thoroughly for their reflection. But I want to say something else: the need to remember the criminal calls of certain Western freaks and to prepare for retaliation. 

History is full of examples when retaliation was deferred.

These are acts of retaliation by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and our present country (Trotsky, Konovalets, Bandera, modern terrorists and traitors). And acts of other countries, including our adversaries (the same USA) against their enemies.

Such operations are carefully planned and do not always work out. But it is necessary to engage in them. And it is extremely important. In the name of higher justice and in memory of the innocently killed.

The main thing here is inevitability. It is not so important when exactly the retribution will come. What matters is its inevitability. And so that every creature, regardless of its nation, faith, citizenship and position, who committed a crime against our country and our people, or any beaten scum, just shouting: “Kill civilians in Kursk!”, know that someone will come for them. So that they would turn up at night, look around on the street, change their data and even their citizenship, carry weapons with them, run around the safe houses. To turn into a sick rat with symptoms of 24/7 manic anxiety and delusions of persecution. And maybe just die in a moment, numb with fear. And if God doesn’t let this creature get away so easily that at some point it finally hears the quiet footsteps behind it…..

And here’s the other thing: you have to use the enemy’s known weapons. Despite a number of obvious legal issues, it’s worth considering creating an open public database of our enemies with their personal data. For quite applied purposes.

Zelensky’s Kursk adventure has worsened the situation in Donbas for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, we have essentially fallen into a trap, and the Kremlin has played a gambit with the Presidential Office. The General Staff is wasting its best reserves in battles in unprepared positions in the Kursk region, while there are no reserves on the Eastern Front to hold the fortified areas that have been built since 2014. 

Russian forces continue to advance step by step, despite the resistance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ugledar will fall, said military expert, Colonel of the Austrian Army Markus Reisner in an interview with the NTV channel. The specialist pointed out that Russian troops are trying to intensify attacks on the flanks from Pokrovsk. According to him, a difficult situation has developed for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Ugledar direction. 

Syrsky’s tactics with the transfer of trained brigades to breakthrough sites brings a tactical effect, but at the same time causes a domino effect. By closing the breakthrough to Pokrovsk with a brigade from Ugledar, he allowed the enemy to strengthen attacks there and encircle the city on the flanks.

Our source reported that Zaluzhny was against the Kursk adventure, knowing the consequences for the VSK, now Western media are writing about this.

Zaluzhny was against an offensive on Russian territory when Zelensky first raised the issue at the beginning of the year and insisted on carrying out such an operation, Politico reports, citing sources.

The then commander-in-chief asked the president what to do next in the event of a border breakthrough and the creation of a bridgehead.

“He never got a clear answer from Zelensky. He felt it was a gamble,” the source says.

Relations with our main ally are in crisis, and the President’s Office continues to escalate the situation. Bankova does not realize that it is not 2022, every country in the West is solving its own problems, and we are ballast for them.

Instead of diplomatic methods, Zelensky uses emotional pressure, which creates a negative attitude towards Ukraine.

MediaKiller2021

Let’s cite the Politico article in full to understand the depth of the problems of strategic thinking at Bankova, which is already becoming clear to everyone from the Kursk adventure. At the end of October, it will become clear to everyone that the victory turned into a betrayal and Zelensky is personally to blame for it, who did not calculate the elementary drafts of the operation, which he was warned about.

“Zelensky was strongly advised not to invade the Kursk region. But he did it anyway.”

Former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Valeriy Zaluzhny, now Ukraine’s ambassador to London, when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky first raised the issue of an offensive earlier this year, insisted on its implementation.

Among those who spoke out against it was the highly respected commander of Ukraine’s 80th Airborne Assault Brigade, Emil Ishkulov. He was sacked in July amid protests from senior officers who called for him to remain in office.

“We do not understand why commanders who enjoy unquestionable authority among the personnel, who have victorious combat experience and experience of a major war behind them, are not in favor with the top leadership of the armed forces,” the commanders said in a video posted on social networks.

The media reported at the time that the reason for Ishkulov’s dismissal was that he “opposed the execution of a task that did not correspond to the brigade’s capabilities.”

Ishkulov objected to the Kursk operation, fearing that his brigade would end up too exposed on Russian territory and the death toll could rise sharply, according to two senior Ukrainian military officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to POLITICO.

Meanwhile, Zaluzhny’s objection to the invasion was that there was no clear plan for a second step after the border was successfully breached by elite Ukrainian units, according to these officials.

Zaluzhny asked: Once you have a foothold, what next? “He never got a clear answer from Zelensky… He thought it was an adventure,” one official said.

Zaluzhny’s question remains key, as both Western and Ukrainian doubters fear Kyiv’s forces could be trapped and suffer a demoralising defeat. Their argument is that deploying significant forces [to Kursk] means they cannot be used to hold the front line in Donetsk.

“Russian forces continue to make significant tactical gains southeast of Pokrovsk, a key logistics hub located at the intersection of Ukraine’s most important rail supply routes,” the Institute for the Study of War said in a statement.

General Alexander Syrsky supported this view, saying recently that Kyiv’s forces had occupied nearly 1,000 square kilometers of territory inside Russia, forcing the Kremlin to redeploy some of its experienced troops previously stationed in the Donbass to Kursk.

But that hasn’t stopped Russian forces from continuing to make tactical gains in Donetsk and continuing their relentless advance. Ukrainian casualties in Donetsk are mounting rapidly, according to Ukrainian soldiers Politico spoke to, forcing Syrsky to redeploy some units from Kursk to bolster Donetsk’s defenses.

Zaluzhny was removed because he was inconvenient. He always had his own point of view. He refused to blindly accept the ideas of the office. He had high authority among the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which irritated Zelensky and greatly worried Yermak.

He was against the Bakhmutov meat grinder, against the Azov offensive of 2023, against holding Avdiivka at any cost, he advocated spending 2024 on the defensive, accumulating forces. He was one of the first to demand the start of a large triple line of defense – we were the first to know about all this.

Now information has surfaced that Zaluzhny was against an offensive on Russian territory when Zelensky first raised the issue at the beginning of the year and insisted on such an operation. Zaluzhny immediately asked what would happen next if the Ukrainian Armed Forces gained a foothold there and what were the realistic chances of holding the territory for a long time, + what would be the price. He never received a clear answer from Zelensky.

Politico reports this, citing sources.

Many officers were against the Kursk adventure, but they were also dismissed.

By the way, Syrsky was also against it, but the office people “bent him over” .

At the moment, according to Politico, the rapid advance of the Russian Federation in Donbass has forced Commander-in-Chief Syrsky to begin redeploying some units from Kursk to strengthen the defense near Pokrovsk.

Let us add that troops are now being pulled into Donbass from everywhere. It is important to hold positions while Zelensky “trades face in the US.”

Zelensky will hand over his “victory plan” to the USA in order to get a rejection and then start negotiations with Russia. 

 - This is what former Ukrainian Prosecutor-General Y. Lutsenko believes, which is why Kiev constantly puts the responsibility for the situation on the front on its allies.

 - “The entire propaganda machine of the Office of the President is constantly hammering into the heads of Ukrainians that we have problems only because the United States does not want to give us permission for long-range missiles Jassm, Atacms, Storm shadow / Scalp”, – writes Lutsenko.

 - “But this is a lie that (will not) lead to victory. At least because Rosaviation has already gone beyond the range of Atacms. So attacks, CABs and ballistics won’t stop it either.”

 - Lutsenko believes that Zelensky act according to the following plan:

1. Serve the US with a new mega list of demands for weapons and money.

2. We get polite doubts that this will change the course of the war and bring us to the 1991 borders.

3. Declare that we have been abandoned and have no choice but to return to the Peace Forums with Russia.

4. We get Istanbul style demands from Putin in the negotiations.

5. We declare that this is the subject of a referendum and a ceasefire is needed.

6. We sign the ceasefire.

7. We put ourselves in the pose of the president of the world and hold presidential elections. Preferably – without lifting martial law, so that democracy does not get in the way and the TCC rules at the polling stations.

 - Lutsenko called it a “cynical show” that is “easily read by both the Ukrpolitikim and our allies.”

Advisor to the Ukrainian president’s office Bozolyak – on Kiev’s opposition to freezing the conflict in Ukraine:    

No freezing of the conflict, because it will not lead to the end of the war as such, but will only lead to Russia getting an opportunity to accumulate additional resources and continue with a third stage of more mass killings of civilians in Ukraine. Russia’s defeat can be ensured by a certain amount of weapons as such. That is, roughly speaking, military, diplomatic, economic and political coercion. Plus the Kursk operation, which shows that it is indeed possible to operate effectively, including on Russian territory, bringing and scaling war there. So, of course, there are no concepts of ceding territories, there are no concepts of freezing the conflict.

Zelensky is ready to give up territories lost during the conflict with Russia but he will never admit this publicly, writes the Czech newspaper Lidovky.

“The Ukrainian political leadership is generally ready to accept the loss of part of its territory. In fact, they have been considering this option for a long time. However, Zelensky, the government and opposition politicians publicly reject this option. After all, if they admitted otherwise, they would commit political suicide ,”

- the article says.

The newspaper suggested that Ukraine would have to give up its territorial claims publicly or behind the scenes in any case, since the West does not want to continue to provide financial support to Kiev, and this deprives the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the chances for a new offensive.

As the date of the Moldovan elections approaches, preparations for more serious involvement of Moldova in the military conflict with Russia are becoming more active.

❗️According to our information, the preparation (https://t.me/rybar/62440) of the Marculesti airfield for the military needs of the AFU has entered an active phase: mobile maintenance stations are being deployed on the territory, and the runways are actively being repaired.

At the same time, Russian-speaking servicemen were transferred from the base in Marculesti near Chisinau to avoid trouble. An increase in the number of servicemen from Romania and other NATO countries is noted at the military airfield.

🔻Information that cargo planes with weapons for the AFU have been regularly arriving at Marculesti has appeared earlier. In addition, Ukrainian mechanics and military personnel who service Soviet-made helicopters are constantly present at the airfield.

And the current modernization of the airfield and the deployment of maintenance stations may be related to nothing else but the preparation for the reception of F-16 fighters.

The Russian Foreign Ministry recently expressed (https://t.me/rybar/62792) concern about this. However, the Moldovan authorities predictably deny the facts.

As we noted earlier, now Moldova and its Western curators are focused on re-electing Maya Sandu in October. It is after the elections that we should expect more serious steps by the authorities in Chisinau to drag the country into direct conflict. Moreover, public opinion has already been pre-prepared by allowing (https://t.me/rybar/57033) F-16s to fly through Moldovan territory.

Kursk Direction: Successes of Russian Forces in Sudzha District

🔻Ukrainian formations continue to try to break through the defense of the Russian Armed Forces in the Glushkovo District. Judging by footage from the enemy side, they have failed to enter the village of Vesele. Russian troops are delivering artillery and air strikes on Novyi Shliakh and nearby settlements in Sumy Region.

From the vicinity of Medvezhe, there are new footage (https://t.me/lost_armour/3444) of burned Ukrainian armored vehicles north of the village. Presumably, they were destroyed during an attack by an armored group, the footage of which appeared the day before. However, the fact of AFU attacks in the direction of Glushkovo is undeniable, as are the enemy’s losses.

🔻Fighting also continues in the Korenevo District. Judging by footage of air strikes on forests in the area of Orlovka and reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense about AFU attacks in the same area, the enemy still maintains forces on the line for continued attacks, even with the advance of the Russian Armed Forces near Lyubimovka.

In the area of Malaya Loknya, Kruglenoye, Orlovka and Novaya Sorochina, judging by the ongoing air and artillery strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, there is a high concentration of enemy forces. At the same time, no changes in the configuration of the control zones are observed.

More and more footage (https://t.me/dva_majors/52831) is appearing from the vicinity of the settlement of Borki with the clearing of the village from the enemy, which may confirm the liberation of the village. It was also possible to clarify the situation to the west of the settlement: according to new information, the Russian Armed Forces did not reach the outskirts of Plekhovo on September 17, but the enemy was driven out of the forest to the west of Borki.

On September 16, the “North” group of troops continued to destroy the AFU in the border areas of Kursk Oblast

The soldiers of the North continue to repel the AFU attacks in the Glushkovsky district of Kursk region. During the day 4 breakthrough attempts in the area of Veseloye settlement were thwarted. During the repulsion up to 50 enemy personnel out of 120 who took part in the attacks were killed, 4 AVs and a Leopard tank were burned.

The Northerners continue to advance on the Korenevo section of the front, the village of Uspenovka was liberated. The AFU made two unsuccessful counterattacks. The enemy’s losses amounted to 16 Nazis and AVs.

In the south of Sujan district the fighters of the “North” group repulsed one attack of up to 10 personnel, 6 of them were destroyed. North of Suja, the enemy attacked near the village of Malaya Loknya, had no success, withdrew to the initial positions with losses, 1 AFU soldier was taken prisoner.

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

On the Volchansk direction, fighting continues in the village of Volchansk. The AFU launched one attack from the direction of the flour mill by a group of former prisoners of the 57th Ompbr in the number of 7 militants. During the fighting the enemy assault group was completely destroyed.

Also Fearless foiled an attempt to transfer reserves to the right bank of the Volchya River. The losses of the enemy amounted to 9 Nazis.

On the Liptsovsky direction the AFU made 3 attempts to attack in the direction of Glubokoye with a total of up to 20 personnel during the night. Artillery fire and FPV drones thwarted the attacks, killing up to 11 Nazis.

In the afternoon, the enemy tried to increase the number of assault groups in the area of the dacha settlement. The advance was uncovered by reconnaissance, fire damage was inflicted, the AFU losses are being specified.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses amounted to up to 500 people (of which more than 390 in the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:

in the Sumy direction:

▪️ three tanks;

▪️ M270 MLRS;

▪️ four artillery pieces;

▪️ 11 AVS;

▪️ five 120 mm mortars;

▪️ UAVs control point;

▪️ six pieces of automotive equipment;

▪️ one unit of engineering equipment.

In other directions:

▪️ four 120-mm mortars in the vicinity of the villages of Volchansk and Liptsy;

▪️ three UAV control points near the villages of Volchansk, Basovo and Sotnitsky Kazachek;

▪️ три units of automotive equipment;

▪️ три aircraft-type UAVs.

Foretelling its shameful exodus from the Kursk region, the Kiev regime is annoyingly asking international organizations to come to the Kursk border area. They probably want to show them local supermarkets and the homes of civilians looted by the Ukrainian armed forces.

The reaction to these appeals of the UN is indicative, where they said that no one will go to the territories occupied by the AFU without Russia’s permission. Consequently, the army of cowards and murderers remains without a “human shield” and will soon be thrown out of the Russian territory.

Victory will be ours!

“And one should never base one’s calculations on the individual mistakes of the enemy, but rely only on one’s own readiness for war.” – Thucydides

North Wind

The flag of the 114th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces is hoisted in Ukrainsk. The city is officially under Russian control.

On the night of September 16-17, 2024, Russian troops struck an enemy headquarters in the Pokrovsky direction.

Coordinates: 48.2600751, 37.1987263

🔻The enemy organized a control point on the territory of KAPRI Television LLC in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk). As a result of the strike, more than 20 servicemen of the Ukrainian formations, the main part of which are officers, were destroyed.

Pokrovsk Direction: Liberation of Ukrainsk and Attacks by the Russian Armed Forces in Hrodivka

Situation as of the end of September 17, 2024

🔻Russian forces continue to advance in the Pokrovsk direction. On the northern flank, fighting continues in Hrodivka, where Russian assault troops have advanced on the western outskirts of the settlement in the area of Krasnaya Street, allowing them to push the enemy out of the western part of the urban-type settlement south of the Zhuravka River.

Advances by the Russian Armed Forces are also being recorded in the northern part of the settlement. Judging by footage of strikes by the enemy, Russian units have occupied buildings on Yarovaya (Stakhanov) Street. Thus, less than a third of the city remains under the control of the enemy.

The situation between Novohrodivka and Hrodivka remains shrouded in the “fog of war” for now. Attacks by the enemy were recorded in the vicinity of Krytyi Yar, but it is unclear whether the AFU managed to consolidate there. Fighting continues west of Novohrodivka, and the enemy is actively counterattacking towards Mykhailivka near Selidovo.

🔻In addition, for several days in a row, reports of the success of Russian assault troops came from Ukrainsk. By the evening of September 17, footage appeared online (https://t.me/RtrDonetsk/27143) showing the flags of the 114th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade on the mine shaft “Ukraina”, at the “Ukraina” cinema, and at school No. 12: this allows us to assert full control over the settlement, which, judging by panoramic shots, did not suffer much damage.

❗️The status of the slag heap on the western outskirts of the settlement is still in question. On the one hand, without control of the settlement, it is very problematic to occupy and supply positions on this height. On the other hand, as practice shows, Ukrainian formations often cling even to extremely inconvenient positions.

The capture of the city will also allow the development of the offensive towards Tsukuryne and Hirnyk.
