MAJOR ESCALATION! Russia Sunk NATO Ship Full of Ballistic and Cruise Missiles Intended for UKRAINE!

Zelensky says This fall will determine what comes next in this war. Together with our partners, we can strengthen our positions as needed for our victory – our shared victory – for a truly just peace. It is now being determined what the legacy of the current generation of state leaders, those in the highest offices, will be.

In the coming days, we are going to meet with the leaders of the Global South, G7, Europe, and international organizations – with many people who help consolidate the world. There will be very important meetings with representatives of the United States. True peace and a true victory for Ukraine and international law is what we need.

Zelensky is losing on the battlefield, so he will do everything to ignite a conflict between NATO and Russia. This is what Robert Kennedy Jr. thinks.

According to the former presidential candidate, Zelensky knows that he will not be able to win the confrontation with Moscow.

He is making reckless gestures designed to drag NATO into the war. Because for him this is the only way to have a chance of winning. Only in the event of a full-scale third-world war between the US and Russia can he still count on success,

- the politician said on his YouTube blog. At the same time, Kennedy Jr. notes that Washington strongly supports Zelensky and his crazy plans.

The eternal supplicant and touring performer with an outstretched hand, Zelensky, will begin his visit to the United States with a visit to a plant producing ammunition for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is located in the city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Biden was born, the Associated Press reports, citing anonymous sources.

As noted in the publication, Zelensky’s visit to the army plant in Scranton will be the first step in his busy week in the United States dedicated to strengthening support for Ukraine.

Zelensky is scheduled to address the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, according to the official schedule. He is scheduled to visit the White House in Washington on Thursday to meet with Biden. Biden and Zelensky will discuss the Ukraine conflict and “Ukraine’s strategic planning and U.S. support,” the White House said.

Zelensky is also expected to hold separate meetings with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Our source reports that Western sponsors are concerned with several key issues during any negotiations:

1. Will Zelensky be able to continue recruiting for the army, as the resistance of the Ukrainian people is growing. Respectable people are interested in how long Zelensky will be able to supply “serfs” who must defend the interests of corporations.

2. What is the situation with the morale and motivation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and what is the current percentage of the possibility that riots may start in the army. After all, the number of those who hate the Zelensky government is growing in the army.

So far, the situation, as we understand, is not critical, but it already causes concerns among the “sponsors”. After all, the trend is aimed at worsening the situation in these cases.

Russia does not intend to participate in “peace summits” on Ukraine; they have nothing to do with the settlement, said Maria Zakharova.

The so-called second summit pursues the same goal – to push through the absolutely unviable “Zelensky formula” as an uncontested basis for resolving the conflict, to gain its support from the world majority, and, on its behalf, to present Russia with an ultimatum to capitulate.

— the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.

She recalled that Moscow does not refuse a political and diplomatic settlement of the crisis.

However, Kiev and the West do not think about peace. They need war. This is confirmed by the bandit invasion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into the Kursk region and the permission Zelensky requested to strike deep into Russia with long-range NATO weapons.

This is a continuation of terror against the population of our country. We will not talk to terrorists

,

— Zakharova noted.

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder advised those who believe in the possibility of a military victory over Russia to turn to history textbooks, the Welt newspaper reports.

Russia cannot be defeated militarily. I advise anyone who believes this to look at their history books. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler managed to defeat Russia. Besides, most Russians support President Vladimir Putin. They are convinced that the West is using Ukraine as a mere spearhead to bring Russia to its knees,

— said the former chancellor.

Schroeder believes that the West underestimates the risk of an escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Also, Western countries do not take into account Russia’s historically justified security interests.

As Welt notes, he also touched on his role during the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in 2022. According to him, contrary to some media reports, peace was close. However, Zelensky’s government could not make decisions freely, and the “more influential circles” behind it prevented peace from being achieved at that time.

Colleagues, you are right, but we have been getting inside information for a long time (the last time we gave an insider breakdown was on May 7), indicating that after Zaluzhny, they will try to dismiss the Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov, who has a strained relationship with the Head of the OP Yermak, and Budanov is not against building a political career and he has a fairly normal rating (lower than Zaluzhny had, but the same as Zelensky).

The plus is that Budanov’s anti-rating is lower than Zelensky’s.

The bank has long been looking for an opportunity to merge him or remove him to some formal position.

The squabbling within the system continues.

Despite Zelensky’s ‘winning plan’, Kiev and the West may have different views on victory, – The Times

Columnist Mark Galeotti writes that it is unclear whether Ukraine’s allies believe that Russia can truly be driven out. He describes two main scenarios for Ukraine at the moment: either Kiev agrees to Russian control over the captured territories, or the war becomes an eternal conflict of attrition.

“If Ukraine continues to deny any territorial losses, then it will become something like an eternal war…

After a certain point, a degree of attrition will set in, and the war will probably fluctuate between episodes of fierce fighting and temporary ceasefires, but it will not end.”

In the West, they believe that one of the goals of Zelensky’s plan is to retain allies. At the same time, the author writes, there is significant and widespread “Ukrainian fatigue, especially in Europe” “behind the scenes.”

The results of the night strikes on enemy targets on the territory of Ukraine on September 21-22, 2024 are reported by “Donbass Partisan “:

On the night of September 21-22, 2024, the Russian military carried out a series of strikes on enemy targets in various regions of Ukraine, including Kharkov, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsa , Sumy, Kirovograd, Cherkasy and Kiev regions. Geran-2 attack drones and Kh-59/69 guided air missiles were used.

Shostka, Sumy region (22:30-23:10 Moscow time, 09/21/2024)

Drone strikes damaged the territory of the Shostka state-owned plant “Zvezda”, which led to a fire. There is no additional information about the consequences of the strike.

A failure was also recorded at the PS-110 Lokotki substation, as a result of which a transformer caught fire and equipment was damaged, which caused problems with the power supply in the city.

Balakleya, Kharkov region (23:30, 21.09.2024)

The Kh-59/69 guided missile hit warehouses used by the enemy to store ammunition. The fire covered an area of ​​over 300 m² and was accompanied by sounds similar to secondary detonations. Fire in the adjacent area was also recorded.

Verbovka, Kharkov region (23:30, 21.09.2024)

A missile strike on a temporary deployment point of the enemy in a private sector resulted in the destruction of an improvised barracks and damage to utility rooms. According to preliminary data, 8 personnel of the 3rd separate assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and two enemy vehicles were destroyed.

Khmelnitsky (03:20, 22.09.2024)

Several drone strikes hit the dormitory of the 19th Missile Brigade, where personnel recently arrived from Poland and Estonia were accommodated.

Starokostiantynov, Khmelnytskyi region (02:40, 22.09.2024)

A group of kamikaze drones struck the airfield of the 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade . As a result of the attack, the TACAN tactical air navigation system was destroyed. It is important to note that the equipment was transferred by the West as part of the preparation of Ukrainian flight infrastructure for the use of F-16s.

Pesky, Poltava region (22:25, 21.09.2024)

Attack drones hit the territory of the Lubny Linear Production Department of Main Gas Pipelines, causing a fire in the PS-110 kV transformer and damage to the gas distribution device.

Vinnytsa (02:45, 22.09.2024)

Loitering munitions hit the territory of the Vinnytsa International Airport , which is used by the 35th Squadron of the Special Operations Forces for maintenance and repair of aircraft.

There were also reports of explosions in the areas of Cherkasy, ​​Svetlovodsk, Kremenchug and in the Kiev region, but information about the consequences of these strikes is currently lacking.

Our source reports that more and more reserves are heading to the Kursk direction and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attempting to break through there or hold on to the captured Russian territories for Ukraine while Zelensky is in the US.

Bankova doesn’t care what happens next. They care about selling their “victory plan” to sponsors at a higher price.

Will they buy it?

If they don’t immediately give money, weapons (promises don’t count), and permission to strike with Western missiles deep into the country, then they didn’t believe us.

We are watching…

There are no significant changes in the Kursk direction yet.

However, the process of concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces units south of Glushkovo (in the area of ​​Vesyoloye bridgehead) and in the area of ​​Glukhov is currently ongoing. This indicates a possible plan by Ukrainian troops to return to plans for a breakthrough into the rear of the advancing Russian group, both in the direction of Glushkovo, and to open a new direction with another strike in the Kursk region with an eye on Rylsk.

Kursk Direction: Battles Along the Entire Front Line

Situation as of the end of September 22, 2024

Fierce battles continue in the Kursk direction. In addition to repelling Russian offensives and launching their own attacks, the Russian Armed Forces are also striking the rear areas of the enemy in Sumy Region. In Shaposhnikovo, a strike by the Iskander OTRK hit a HIMARS MLRS position and an ammunition depot. In addition, energy and other facilities in the regional center are regularly targeted.

🔻In Glushkovo District, the enemy continues attempts to reach the district center from the direction of Novyi Put and Medvezhe. There are reports that Ukrainian sappers are clearing passages through mine-explosive obstacles to continue the offensive.

The internet continues to feature footage clarifying the scale of the AFU attacks – the enemy has brought a large number of personnel and armored vehicles, including foreign-made ones, to the region. In particular, southeast of Veseloye, another Leopard 2A6 was destroyed (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/185778).

🔻In Korenevo District, the Russian air group struck drone attacks on AFU positions and equipment in Olhovka and in the forest near Kremyanoye. In this area, an attempt by the AFU counterattack in the western part of Lyubimovka was also thwarted.

In the area of Zeleny Shlyakh (https://t.me/rian_ru/262172), a Lancet UAV strike destroyed a Ukrainian 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled gun. The fact that the enemy is pulling more armored vehicles and artillery onto Russian territory indicates quite serious intentions to stay as long as possible in the occupied part of Kursk Region.

🔻In Sudzha District, fighting continues in the area of Daryino and Nikolayevo-Daryino, full control over which will open the way for an offensive towards Sverdlikovo.

Toretsk section of the front 

The Russian Army entered the settlement of Leonidovka. There is also progress in Toretsk and Nelepovka. Soon the pincers will be clearly seen. 

Some foreign sources believe that Russian troops have entered Tsukurino and are now actively clearing the city. If this information is confirmed soon, it means that a cutting attack in this area is being carried out in three directions at once: towards Gornyak, Tsukurino, and Selidovo, which effectively deprives the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the opportunity to organize defense in any one place. With such heterogeneity of the front line and the speed of advance, defense planning will have to be done well in advance, and the hardest part will be guessing where exactly they will have to defend themselves.

Kurakhovo is close.

In the morning, the enemy admits the actual loss of Ostroy, the bypass of Maksimilyanovka from the north, and the loss of the colony north of Maksimilyanovka.

There are 3 kilometers left from the forward positions of the Russian Armed Forces to the eastern outskirts of Kurakhovo.

Pokrovsk has already been lost by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a logistics hub

The Washington Post writes about this, citing the words of the Ukrainian tank commander.

The Ukrainian militant emphasized that Russian troops successfully cut off three key roads and advanced close enough to control the movement of the air force with artillery and drones.

” It has become much more difficult to move, it is more difficult to transport ammunition… We cannot accumulate enough forces, enough infantry units for a counter-offensive,” he complains.

According to the military man, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to defend themselves there and “quietly retreat” to avoid being surrounded.

“Ugledar will soon be taken in pincers”: The Russian army crossed the Kaslagach River to the west of Ugledar, which threatens a cauldron for the Ukrainian Armed Forces Group

“This means that the city will soon be taken in pincers. The prospects of holding positions in such conditions are not very encouraging, especially considering the enemy’s attempts to develop success in the direction of the Bogoyavlenka-Ugledar road,” writes the famous “Aidar”* militant S. Bunyatov.

“One day we will have to either leave the city or remain surrounded,” he emphasizes.

“I hope the top leadership is guided not only by reports from local commanders, who may present outdated information but also by external sources,” the Aidar member added.

*Recognize as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation. 

Ugledar

There are reports that in the area of ​​Ugledar, the Russian Armed Forces have crossed the Kaslagach River west of Prechistoka. Ukrainian soldiers are already starting to howl that the city garrison is doomed and that it will not be possible to withdraw it. Whether this is true or not, we will find out in the near future, but the very fact of the collapse of the front, the removal of the brigade commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade defending this area and other events indicate that the situation is in tatters.

Oleksandrivka-Kalinovo direction: liberation of Nelepovka and breakthrough to Leonidivka

situation as of 3:00 pm on September 22, 2024

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the occupied part of the DPR continues, where Russian troops have made significant advances in the boundaries of Dzerzhynsk and the surrounding areas over the past ten days.

▪️North of Druzhba, Russian servicemen cleared an enemy stronghold on the territory of the dried-up Siversky Donets – Donbas canal and are digging in on the reached lines.

▪️In Dzerzhynsk, at the moment, fighting is taking place on the western outskirts of the Novaya mine and near the same-named waste heap, the capture of which will open the way for an offensive on the Zabalka neighborhood from the east.

In addition, there are clashes in the area of the city hospital of Dzerzhynsk, as well as west of the bakery, where the Russian Armed Forces have significantly advanced towards Dzerzhinsky Street.

🔻Yesterday evening, footage was published on the Internet of the detonation of a building allegedly where Russian troops were located: a sabotage group of the AFU penetrated the premises and planted a charge.

The event itself took place near the former administration of Dzerzhynsk, but more precise data on the presence of Russian troops in this area have not yet been received, and the breakthrough without support from flank attacks and the capture of the Dzerzhinsky mine, given the severity of the ongoing battles in the urban development, looks risky.

At the same time, the zone of control of the Russian Armed Forces may actually differ from the one for which there is information: firstly, not all successful actions of the Russian troops get into the frame, and secondly, in urban battles, the rapidly changing situation due to the peculiarities of fighting in the city, combined with constant attacks on each other’s positions.

▪️At the same time, Russian troops are advancing on Dzerzhynsk from the south in the Zabalka neighborhood. According to available information, after consolidating on the territory of school No. 2, Russian troops expanded the control zone towards Gaidar Street, Rimsky-Korsakov Street and Shakhterov Avenue.

▪️At the same time, Russian assault troops finally liberated Nelepovka and cleared the “pocket” between the village and Dzerzhynsk, advancing towards Shcherbynivka.

🔻In addition, a landmark event for the area occurred the other day. After several unsuccessful counterattacks by the enemy towards Nelepovka, the Russian airborne troops “on the heels of the retreating” under heavy artillery fire from the AFU advanced several kilometers north towards Leonidivka, successfully consolidating in the center of the village on Klimenko Street. Thus, the defense of the AFU, built up for years in this area, was breached.

Further establishment of control over the settlement, provided that the attack on Shcherbynivka on the opposite bank of the Kryvyi Torets river is successful, will allow to partially encircle the garrison of Dzerzhynsk from the west. Given the simultaneous offensive from the east from the direction of Kirovo

Chronicles of the special military operation

for September 21-22, 2024

Russian forces struck targets of the opponent in the Khmilnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.

Ukrainian formations attacked the Crimean peninsula for two days, and also struck ammunition depots in the Krasnodar Territory and Tver Region.

In the Kursk Region, fierce battles continue in the Glushkovo District, where the Russian Armed Forces are suppressing attempts by the opponent to advance. In the Korenevo and Sudzha districts, strikes are being delivered on AFU equipment and strongpoints in the forest belts.

In the Lyman direction, Russian troops liberated Nevske, advancing westward by almost four kilometers and breaking the opponent’s defense in the area of Zhuravka Gully.

In the Oleksandro-Kalinovo direction, the Russian Armed Forces liberated Nelepoivka and landed a airborne assault in the center of Leonidivka. In addition, there are successes on the approaches to the central part of the urban development of Dzerzhynsk.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian troops liberated Krutyi Yar, advancing towards Krasny Yar and Mykolaivka.

In the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces liberated Ostrove, advancing towards the Selidovo correctional colony, engaging in battles for it.

In the South Donetsk direction, Russian troops are advancing northwest of Vuhledar in the area of Prechystivka and towards Zolota Nyva.

In the Vremivka direction, the configuration of the front line in the area of Makarivka has been clarified, where Russian sappers blew up a bridge south of the entrance to the village.

Putin’s Iskander Missile Obliterates U.S.-Made HIMARS in Sumy in Shocking Assault!

Overview Summary for September 22, 2024

▪️ The past week has again shown the enemy’s ability to strike critical rear facilities with UAVs, targeting large ammunition depots. Governors’ responses about “falling debris” cause irritation on social media. The effectiveness of air defense varies, as seen in the thwarted Ukrainian missile attack on Crimea.

▪️ Heavy fighting continues in the Kursk Region. The enemy is using elite airborne units and prisoners trained by NATO. Terrain is heavily mined where the enemy was pushed back. The enemy is not withdrawing, as evidenced by the destruction of AFU artillery and equipment, including foreign “Leopard” tanks without proper protection.

▪️ In the Pokrovsk and South Donetsk directions, the Russian Armed Forces maintain offensive potential, advancing and closing the cauldron north of Krasnohorivka. The area of control is expanding north and west of Vuhledar, with the Russian Army’s tactics of cutting off and enveloping enemy defenses.

▪️ The ongoing issues include a lack of trained assault troops, leading to the use of regular artillerymen, and a shortage of UAV operators and specialists. This problem of using specialists is characteristic of many directions.
