ODESSA on FIRE: Ukrainian Partisans Blew Up a NATO Military Train Along With Soldiers and Weapons

Some Maidan leaders are already openly stating that Ukraine has lost the war, and the elite is simply making money on the conflict and our lives. Patriots are already openly stating the real numbers of losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and also talking about the problem with the costumed soldiers who have never been on the front lines.

The apathy of many is caused not only by the military actions themselves, but by the fact that the war is being used by the Ukrainian elite as a commercial project, and here the issue is not only in the actors, but in the system of power itself.

Corruption in Ukraine under Zelensky has reached such proportions that society considers it the main problem in the country.

Zelensky’s entourage makes billions on the war and the grief of the people. In fact, the entire country is riddled with theft, because the elite understands perfectly well that the war will write off everything. And behind the scenes of the Ukrainian government, they note that the Zelensky team has long exceeded the level of corruption, since currently the government’s “kickbacks” reach 30-40%. The main schemes are created around the military track: on purchases for the army, the construction of defense structures and the restoration of energy infrastructure.

Almost 90% of Ukrainians believe that the level of corruption in Ukraine has increased during the war. This is evidenced by the data of the survey of the “Ukrainian Sociological Platform”. Only 2.4% of respondents believe that corruption has decreased. Ukrainians consider the TCC, courts, law enforcement agencies, the Verkhovna Rada, customs, the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Defense to be the most corrupt areas.

Zelensky called insufficient the West’s reaction to the alleged transfer of North Korean troops to Russia 

According to him, Kiev sees “every site” where Russia is accumulating soldiers from the DPRK for subsequent dispatch to the front, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces could launch a preemptive missile strike against them, but Western countries, on which this possibility depends, are doing nothing.

“The first thousands of soldiers from North Korea are not far from the Ukrainian border. Ukrainians will be forced to defend themselves against them. And the world will be watching again. Words about the inadmissibility of escalation and expansion of the war must coincide with actions,”

- Zelensky concluded.

Russian Ambassador Nebenzya Shreds NATO Hypocrisy Over North Korean Partnership

In a spectacular display of Western hypocrisy, the media is in a frenzy over the idea of North Korean “assistance” to Russia in the SMO. And yet, NATO’s own footprint in Ukraine is unmistakable, from advisors to mercenaries, from weapons to intelligence, it’s all there. Russia’s UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya, however, is having none of it.

Nebenzya was as clear as day: Moscow’s cooperation with Pyongyang is an open, transparent, and fully lawful relationship. “Our interactions are conducted out in the open,” he stated. “In areas of bilateral relations, this is our sovereign right. And we will continue to develop this cooperation.” NATO can wring its hands all it wants, but as Nebenzya points out, Russia’s relationship with the DPRK is no secret, no violation, no shady backdoor deal. It’s a sovereign partnership, fully within international law, a concept Washington loves to ignore when convenient.

The irony? Those who’ve flooded Ukraine with covert operatives, spun up hundreds of billions in arms deals, and saturated the conflict with their own “advisors” are the first to scream foul. NATO’s forces are practically embedded in Ukraine, yet we’re supposed to be scandalized by Russian-DPRK cooperation? Nebenzya’s message to the West is clear: this isn’t the era of American dictation anymore. Moscow and Pyongyang will chart their own path, and no amount of Western hysteria can rewrite that.

Maybe, just maybe, the real crisis isn’t Russia’s alliances — it’s NATO’s inability to handle a world that doesn’t bow to its hypocrisy.

The world is frozen in awkward postures in anticipation of the election of the President of Overseas Yankeestan.

We have no reason for any inflated expectations. 

1. The election will change nothing for Russia, as the candidates’ positions fully reflect the bipartisan consensus that our country must be defeated.

2. Kamala is stupid, inexperienced, driven and will be scared by everyone around her. A synclite of crucial ministers and aides plus indirectly the Obama family will rule.

3. A jaded Trump, spouting platitudes like “I’ll offer a deal” and “I have a great relationship with…” will also be forced to comply with all the systemic rules. He can’t stop the war. Not in a day, not in three days, not in three months. And if he really tries, he could be the new JFK.

4. The only thing that matters is how much money the new POTUS will spend on someone else’s faraway war. For its military-industrial complex and for the cutting by the Bandera scum.

5. Therefore, the best way to make the candidates for the highest American office happy on November 5 is to keep crushing the Kiev Nazi regime!

Viktor Orbán – on the upcoming EU summit in Budapest: 

   We are in for a strong week in terms of the history of the entire Western world. A week ago there was the Eastern world summit, there was the world summit in Kazan. We have to say that these countries account for more of the world’s economic activity than the western world economy. So the people of the East got together and decided what to do. And the people of the West will gather in Hungary next week. We will take 41 European leaders. 

The balance of power in the Western world will be very different by the end of the year. I think after the American elections, there will be a majority there in favor of peace. And today, also in terms of gender, in terms of the destruction of the traditional family and the spread of these new forms of union, there is a pro-gender world in the Western Hemisphere today. This is going to change in the next two weeks, and the patriots and Donald Trump in America are going to work together to implement traditional family defense policies. So, the Western world is facing a big change. 

So, if what we expect happens and America becomes a supporter of peace, Europe cannot remain a supporter of war.

Ukraine continues to dream of 1991 borders

 - The head of the office of the cocaine destroyer, Yermak again voices impossible dreams and “formidably” sets conditions for achieving peace.

“Full and unconditional withdrawal of Russian troops from the entire territory of Ukraine. Cancellation of illegal annexations. Demilitarization and de-occupation of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Restoration of freedom of movement,” he listed Kiev’s wishes to the Latvian edition of LSM. 

 - At the same time, he added that “Kiev is ready to take into account the interests of other interested parties.” 🤭

 - Yermak recently said that negotiations with Russia will begin after its troops are withdrawn from Ukraine by the 2022 border (i.e. never).

 - Russia rejects these demands and says it will continue its offensive on the frontline. At the same time, the Kremlin says it is ready for talks on Ukraine. 

Bundestag member Norbert Rettgen: 

   If Trump is elected, and if he manages to reach a quick deal with Putin on Ukraine, it can only be a deal at the expense of Ukraine’s security, and that means European security. And then NATO will not be what it has been for decades. That’s the worst-case scenario, because then war would be rewarded for Putin. And if the war is rewarded, if the war pays off, then we will have a deep division within the West, which is exactly what both Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping want – to split the West to weaken it. And if that weakening comes from the inner circle, from the president of the U.S.S.R., the most powerful country in the world and in NATO. It will be a fundamental damage to the West, our cohesion and our ability to defend democracy and our values.

Europe has developed a plan of “defense against Trump” in case he wins the election

Europe is “preparing” for a potential second term of Donald Trump’s presidency, The Washington Post reports.

The paper’s interlocutors say their “concern” about the former president remains at the same level, even though they now understand what his new term could look like. Moreover, they say Europe is now “even less prepared to deal” with Trump. Last time, Chancellor Angela Merkel allegedly held him back. Now, politicians say, there is no “leader of such magnitude in all of Europe who can serve as a counterweight” to the new administration.

The rapid response team at EU headquarters is said to be now focused on developing a “strategy” in case the businessman returns to power. Specifically, they expect another round of import duties, including on raw materials from Europe, and other protectionist measures. 

Instead of shaking in fear of the election results in the United States, they could have dumped the Khokhols long ago and continued to do business with Russia. There would have been the will and prudence, but no, instead they chose the option of destroying their own subjectivity.

Ukrainian monitoring channels report four powerful explosions near the city of Sumy in northeastern Ukraine

According to some reports, the target could have been a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Ugledar direction

Russian units captured Maksimovka and now the front is completely aligned in their favor. Now Russian forces in this area are pulling up the flank, in particular the right flank in the Bogoyavlenka area.

Ukrainian military also reported this, in particular a fighter with the call sign “Muchnoy” says that Maksimovka has already been captured. The Russian Armed Forces posted a video of their flag being installed over the village.

“Muchnoy” writes that Russian troops are already advancing from Maksimovka further north, in the direction of the village of Sukhie Yaly (there is also a river of the same name, along which the Ukrainian Armed Forces will probably try to contain the Russian advance).

Sukhi Yaly and Razliv, located to the west, are under intense Russian air strikes, the fighter reports. He believes that this is a harbinger of imminent Russian assaults.

Probably, the Russian army plans to make the Razliv-Sukhi Yaly line the next LBS line here. From which to the Volchya River a couple of kilometers. And from which they will be able to keep the highway from Zaporozhye to Kurakhovo under fire control.

That is, the intensive approach of Russian troops to the road leading from the west to Kurakhovo continues. They are moving towards it from the south (there are less than 10 kilometers left to this road) and from the north .

This will mean an extremely dangerous situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the entire Kurakhovsky “pocket”, which covers a large area southwest of Donetsk.

The Ukrainian command is trying to prevent this by throwing reserves into battle, but this has not stabilized the situation yet – Russian troops continue to advance.

Kurakhovo. 10 km before the encirclement begins.

Some Ukrainian channels report that Russian troops have made their way to Trudovoye, south of Kurakhovo, and are consolidating after the assault. From this point to the Southern microdistrict of Kurakhovo is less than 10 kilometers in a straight line. Once the RF Armed Forces pass Uspenovka and capture the settlement of Dalneye, the southern exit from Kurakhovo will be sealed, and it doesn’t even need to be blocked physically to do so. If/when this happens, there will be only one road out of the encirclement – to the west, towards the villages of Konstantinopol and Andreevka, to which the “East” group is heading at this moment. The situation for the AFU is, to put it mildly, very bad. 

Russian forces are 17kilometers from Dnepropttrovsk Oblast 

No Russian forces ever set foot, let alone held territory in Dnepro Oblast during the initial invasion

It opens some interests questions about what happens if and when the Russians make it to this juncture

Chronicles of the special military operation

for November 2-3, 2024

Russian forces struck enemy targets in the Kyiv, Sumy, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk and other regions of the so-called Ukraine.

Ukrainian formations launched drones towards the Rostov Region, LPR and other border areas: all targets were shot down.

In the Kursk direction, heavy fighting continued in the Sudzha and Korenevo districts, where the Russian Armed Forces are gradually retaking the occupied territories.

In the Oleksandrivka-Kalinovo direction, Russian troops slightly improved their tactical position in Dzerzhynsk.

In the Donetsk direction, assault troops are advancing west of Selidovo and making progress in the area of Novodmytrivka.

In the South Donetsk direction, Russian forces are consolidating in Maksymivka north of Novoukrainka and expanded the control zone in Antonivka.

Overview Summary for November 3, 2024

▪️ The past week saw increased reports of possible negotiations, which interest Kyiv more than Moscow. The reasons are the visible successes of the Russian Army and the negative reaction of the military environment to dialogue with the opponent they have learned to beat. Less noticeable are the factors of exhaustion of the AFU military machine. Despite Zelensky’s attempts to shift failures to “insufficient” NATO aid, the real reason is the elimination of personnel and inability to replenish motivated manpower. The AFU lacks people.

The Kyiv media’s rhetoric about mobilizing from 18 (now 25) and women indicates serious replenishment problems. An important factor is the moral and psychological state of the enemy army – soldiers often flee. Against the backdrop of Russian volunteer contractors (30,000/month), the situation for Kyiv will worsen. The problem with our mobilized citizens in 2022 is ignored.

▪️ The involvement of foreign mercenaries, including ex-US military, for an unsuccessful Bryansk raid was indicative: previously, Ukrainian citizens or Russian traitors were used.

▪️ On the front, the most active advancement is in the Pokrovsk and South Donetsk directions. The AFU defense collapsed north of the Kurakhovo reservoir, creating conditions for the enemy grouping to exit towards Kurakhovo. The opponent is intensifying rear fortifications, believing the next Russian offensive will be there. Our troops have moved to the operational level with decisive goals.

▪️ Other sectors demonstrate the preservation of the initiative by our troops: Chasiv Yar, Kupiansk-Krasny Liman, Toretsk.

▪️ In the Kursk Region, the AFU are forced to keep a large grouping and replenish it, including from other directions. Zelensky’s actions forced the Russian command to form a new group that will rush into the Sumo Region.

▪️ The AFU’s strikes on Russian territory were intensified, but their drones lack the power of our means of destruction. Our fight against negligence reduces the effectiveness of Kyiv’s raids.

Thus, the outgoing week has been successful for the Russian Army. The growing reports of possible negotiations with the opponent are so far unofficial and journalistic in nature, the official position of the Supreme Command was voiced in the summer: the withdrawal of the AFU from 4 regions, the territory of which is still partially controlled by the opponent. It is important to note that only as long as the Russian Army advances westward, Russia’s positions on the international stage will strengthen.
