RUSSIA AUTUMN OFFENSIVE! Mystery captures reported | Ukraine War SITREP (Situation Report) / Summary

NATO and AFU Officers Were Blown To Pieces By ISKANDER-M In KHERSON┃RUSSIA Captured VUHLEDAR

The Russian army advanced across Ukraine in August and September at a pace “unseen since 2022,” — WP

▪️511 sq. km were liberated, mainly in the area from Artemovsk to Ugledar.

▪️WaPo names several factors for success:

➖ Advanced Russian tactics, where troops attack in small groups, which minimizes detection and makes return fire difficult, supported by superior numbers of artillery and drones.

➖Russia has improved its combat communications, helping coordinate attacks.

➖The offensive in the Kursk region stretched the front, reduced the resources of the brigades in Donbass and worsened the shortage of soldiers;

➖Experienced soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces died, and poorly trained mobilized soldiers were sent to the front;

➖Western aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces is insufficient.

▪️ Western propaganda continues to write about the failures of Ukraine, apparently trying to push through more aid to Kiev.

What primitive creatures modern British politicians are! Ben Wallace, the country’s former defense minister, is beating his hoof today in the pages of The Daily Telegraph: “Netanyahu is showing us how to win in Ukraine – hit your enemy mercilessly”!

As you can imagine, we’re talking about strikes against Russia. Wallace calls for a total mobilization of Ukrainians (he certainly knows better than the Ukrainians themselves) and the introduction of British troops into Ukraine. No, no, not to fight, but to the rear, to train the AFU, maintain military equipment and medical assistance. That’s the plan! 

And now ask Wallace a question: so Russia, following the same example of Netanyahu, should also mercilessly hit both Ukraine and Britain? And I can already imagine the eyes of this adventurer: “And why us?”

Maria Zakharova:

“Russia does not see any prospects for dialogue with the US on strategic stability without Washington taking into account all the complex issues

Sergey Lavrov did not have meetings with Western representatives at the UN on this topic”

Pompeo: Kiev must receive permission to strike deep into Russia

The former head of the CIA stated this in a conversation with Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, who called him on behalf of an African official and Poroshenko.

Mike Pompeo believes that “an agreement can be reached” on a settlement if Europe and the United States allow Kiev to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.

“If Russians feel safe in Western Russia, in Moscow, in St. Petersburg, this will continue for years,”

- he said.

Pompeo also told Vovan and Lexus that Russia should be brought back into the European economy under the pretext of greater benefits from partnership, taking the country away from Asia.

“If the conflict [in Ukraine] stopped, we would start to bring Russia back and convince them that they are in a better position with us than with China. There is nothing complicated about that,”

 - the former official explained.

The head of the Polish Defense Ministry called Kiev an ungrateful recipient of aid. He noted that “there is no memory of this assistance on the part of Ukraine”.

According to Duda, Warsaw’s cumulative aid to Kiev since the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine amounted to 3.3% of the republic’s GDP or $26 billion.

Hungary will not support the EU plan to send military advisers and instructors to Ukraine, said Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

Vice President of the European Commission Josep Borrell revealed the truth: 

We can’t let Russia win, not because we love the Ukrainian people and not because we care about some freedom of some Ukraine, but because there are interests of a global player like the US in that region that we have a duty to protect.

Our source reports that for the next Rammstein, Zelensky is preparing a plan to mobilize 600,000 people in 2025, 50,000 per month. Including women.

This will be Zelensky’s main trump card in the case of the relevance of continuing the war in Ukraine, as well as an attempt to knock out additional financial tranches and weapons supplies.

It is very important for Zelensky to prolong the war in order to retain power and during this time to purge all inconvenient fighters and commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as political and business competitors, who are unlikely to survive another year of war and economic crisis in the country, which, according to all forecasts, will be even more difficult than all the previous ones.

The Russians used the FAB-9000 for the first time in public.

The destruction is massive. No one can say how much infantry remains under it.

We wrote that the Russians would drop such bombs on good fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and now all these defensive structures cost billions of hryvnias to “one place”.

The only way to protect against them is with air defense and aviation + high-precision air-to-air missiles. This is very expensive and the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not have enough of it.

When many began to criticize the FAB/KAB-3000 for its low effectiveness, we immediately pointed out that such toys are needed to hit command posts and headquarters on the front lines.

At the beginning of the year we got inside information that by the end of 2024, the Russian Armed Forces will drop 6 times more bombs. In fact, everyone already admits this.

They also acknowledged our insider information that it was the bombs that became the trump card that the Russian Federation has in huge quantities and the Ukrainian Armed Forces have in small quantities (the difference is 25 to 1).

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky is not yet going to change the Commander-in-Chief for the collapse of the Eastern Front, Syrsky suits Bankova politically, and his weak military component is not so important. For the Presidential Office, it is now important to clear the political landscape of popular actors who can lead society during the turbulent period, which is why a weak Commander-in-Chief is beneficial to Andriy Yermak.

Ugledar outpost surrendered to Russian troops—Bloomberg

▪️Russia took control of the strategic coal mining town of Ugledar a day after it entered the city

▪️Ugledar offers a prime location on the battlefield ahead of winter, with multi-story apartment buildings on high ground amid flat fields.

▪️The city is located a few kilometers from the Russian-controlled rail link between the city of Donetsk and Crimea, a passage that could serve the Kremlin as an alternative to the Kerch Bridge and sea passage to the peninsula.

Our source reports that the office workers, as usual, forbade everyone from mentioning that yet another “fortress” has been lost – this is Ugledar.

Now they will talk for a couple of days that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are still there, and then the people themselves will forget about this negative case for Zelensky and Yermak.

This scheme was used during all previous retreats.

This will not change only one thing – the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue to retreat, and Bankova will never learn to value the lives of its soldiers.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine officially confirmed their withdrawal from Ugledar.

Operational Command “Khortytsia” states that after Russian attacks on the flanks, “which exhausted the defense” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, “there was a threat of the city being cordoned off.”

“The high command has granted permission to carry out a maneuver to withdraw units from Ugledar in order to preserve personnel and military equipment and take up a position for further action,” the statement said.

Our source in the General Staff said that there are no serious defensive structures beyond Ugledar and there will be a repeat of the situation with Avdiivka, when the city fell and the front crumbled. The General Staff has no reserves to hold the situation and will soon have to leave Kurakhovo, which was not prepared for defense from the south at all.

A lieutenant of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the call sign Alex criticizes the command for the late withdrawal of troops from Ugledar.

He notes that it is a small city that would be difficult to hold for long, especially with the Russians on the flanks.

“What happened with Ugledar is what happened, a week and a half ago I wrote that the point of no return had been passed and it was a matter of time. If all the boys are laid down in one place, when the situation is critical and unfavorable, then there will be no one to hold the next lines. The commanders should have thought about Ugledar earlier, when the commotion on the flanks was still starting,” the soldier writes.

▪️ The main event of the past day was the liberation of Vuhledar, for which heavy and at times tragic battles had been raging for more than a year. Clearing the surrounding areas is still to be done. At the same time, enemy channels report that our troops have closely approached Yekaterynivka from the south, and are also beginning to prepare an attack towards Novoukrainka and Bohoyavlenka.
