Zelensky Says Goodbye to (Kupiansk) Kup’yans’k

Our source reports that the Presidential Office held consultations today with representatives of Western partners on the issue of whether to continue to strike deep into Russian territory.

No decision was made during the day. They decided to hold more consultations, including because Putin gave his public answer late in the evening.

According to our data, there will most likely be a pause now.

Now Zelensky has publicly appealed to Western countries to put pressure on Russia, condemn the Kremlin, indirectly hinting at tightening sanctions, giving Ukraine more money and weapons, but there has been no response from the “partners” yet.

The West is taking a break, but at the same time, no one has forbidden Zelensky from using Western missiles to strike deep into the Russian Federation. As they say, the West has given Zelensky the right to choose whether to raise the stakes in the game or not.

We are watching, but we advise Ukrainians to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky wants to continue missile strikes on Russian territory, but is waiting for the Pentagon to agree on new targets. Target selection and guidance occurs in real time, via the NATO satellite system, which is why Ukraine is not able to continue strikes on its own.

Zelensky demands a “strong response” from partners to the strike by the new ballistic missile

“The world must react to this. There is no strong reaction from the world now. Putin is very sensitive to this. He is testing you, dear partners… He must be stopped. If there is no strong reaction to Russia’s actions, it means they see that this is possible,”

- he said.

Also, according to Zelensky, 

we need to put pressure, we need to force Russia into genuine peace, which is only possible through force.

On the US reaction to Russia’s use of the Oreshnik medium-range missile system

Yesterday’s speech by Vladimir Putin about the use of the new hypersonic Oreshnik missile made the headlines of American newspapers – the West was shocked not so much by the new Russian weapon as by the Russian president’s statement about the Ukrainian conflict escalating into a global one.

▪️Social media is abuzz with speculation about who will be the target of the first Russian strike, as well as weighing the risks of a nuclear war. Interestingly, most agree with the theses of popular political bloggers that the people of the Western countries do not want war – they are being pushed into it by “deranged elderly politicians”.

▪️As for the US administration, its representatives pretended to be unsurprised – the White House yesterday stated that the launch of the Russian missile will not have a deterrent effect on Washington’s policy towards Ukraine.

▪️The Pentagon, on the other hand, was more objective and avoided boastful statements – the US Department of Defense expressed concern about Russia’s new weapon, but mentioned that the United States had been warned in advance by the Russian side about its use.

▪️The press reacted ambiguously to Russia’s use of the Oreshnik: while the New York Times rightly characterized the event as “a new stage in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict”, the rabid propagandists from CNN launched (https://t.me/usaperiodical/11063) the old tune that Russia has “only two or three more launches of such missiles left”.

▪️The team of Donald Trump and the future president himself did not pay any attention to Putin’s statements yesterday – they have their own war now. Trump is fighting to form his cabinet (https://t.me/usaperiodical/11061) – one of his close allies has already been defeated and forced to withdraw his nomination.

Head of the GUR Mom’s Pie Budanov – reassures Ukrainians that there is only one “Oreshnik” left in Russia: 

   ”Oreshnik” is the name of the research work, it is just a cipher. The system itself is called “Kedr.” It is an experimental system. Let’s say it’s a medium-range ballistic missile. A carrier for nuclear weapons. The fact that they used it in a non-nuclear version is, as they say, a warning from them that they are not completely crazy. I’ll say it again. The missile is experimental. We know for sure that as of October they were supposed to make two research samples, maybe they made a little bit more, but believe me, this is a research sample, but not yet serial production, thank God.

Russia launches non-nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile as a warning against further escalation.

The warmongering faction says: That doesn’t scare us. Written from the safety of the living room couch.

Dear idiots, those who don’t want to understand the warning will have to face the consequences at some point. Russia has demonstrated that it is quite capable of responding to NATO missile strikes on its territory. And everywhere. Then even your own couch will no longer be safe. Whoever does not want to understand this – out of thirst for war or ideological blindness – in the not too distant future will receive an intercontinental missile with a nuclear warhead in response.

For NATO, it was clear that annexing Ukraine would mean war. Russia explicitly warned against it. But it did it anyway. Now Russia is warning very clearly about what it means for NATO to formally enter the war by firing NATO missiles into Russian territory. There can be no clearer warning than an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Western warmongers apparently believe that a third world war against a nuclear superpower can be won. Anyone who thinks so is obviously insane and should be removed from power. Or rather, they should be kept out of power.

We are ruled by lunatics who fear cold viruses and CO2 but think nuclear war is insignificant.

We have been informed about the threat of a missile strike on the Ukrainian parliament in the coming days – Taras Batenko, People’s Deputy of Ukraine

“There will be no Rada session tomorrow. The next one is planned for December” – Nazi Goncharenko

After the demonstration of the capabilities of “Oreshnik”, the Verkhovna Rada session was moved to the bunker for later 

Lavrov on Kiev’s reaction to the Oreshnik launch: 

Those who say that they [the West] allowed Zelensky to use these missiles [on Russian territory] – they allowed themselves, this is already well known to everyone. The President of Russia has repeatedly spoken about this. Without their direct involvement, none of these missiles would have flown anywhere.

As for the reaction to our response, I understand that Zelensky got scared and directly accused his masters of leaving him unarmed in the face of such an action on the part of the Russian Federation. This is probably a useful result. Because being closer to reality and experiencing it on your own skin is already useful.

Exposed: Seconds to Midnight

Ukraine’s ex-top general may not be wrong, kinetic World War III may have begun. But if this nightmare ignites into a full inferno, the blame lies not with Kiev but with its masters in DC and lead vassal-London, who have spent years engineering the conditions for this conflagration.

The latest round of escalation tells the tale: the U.S. authorizes ATACMS, the UK follows suit with Storm Shadows and Russia retaliates with Oreshnik, a hypersonic ballistic missile, leveling an industrial zone in Dnipropetrovsk. While Oreshnik wasn’t nuclear-tipped, the message was clear: you push; we’ll push harder. What’s unfolding is a deliberate script, albeit one written in desperation, authored by the West, with Europe and Ukraine cast as sacrificial lambs. When faced with cosmic humiliation (total defeat in Ukraine), the Deepstate goes full Dr. Strangelove.

The UK, ever eager to play the loyal attack poodle, has been leading the charge. Let’s not forget it was Boris Johnson who scuttled peace negotiations in Istanbul, ordering Zelensky to double down on confrontation instead of diplomacy. Britain’s suicidal zeal for escalation has earned it nothing but Russia’s righteous hatred and deservedly so. Unlike Germany and France, who at least maintain some dialogue with Moscow, the UK’s foreign policy is a kamikaze act of malice and myopia. Britain, it seems, truly has no friends, only its delusions of imperial grandeur.

And then there’s NATO. A grotesque parody of a protection racket. A Tony Soprano wannabe demanding “protection fees” from its shopkeepers, while offering nothing in return but manufactured fear and unnecessary wars. But here’s the difference: even Tony had the self-awareness to admit that “the best was behind him.” NATO, and its American godfather, cling to the illusion of invincibility, refusing to acknowledge the reality that the Global Majority. led by a resurgent Russia, is no longer buying their extortion and fraud.

The reality is cold: the US has no loyalty to its vassals. It engineered this war post-Soviet collapse, ramped it up in 2014, and set the stage for the SMO in 2022. It sabotaged Europe’s energy independence via state terror with the Nord Stream bombing, turning Germany from an industrial powerhouse into a gas-starved beggar reliant on overpriced American LNG. And when inflation suffocates Europe, when the energy crisis bites, does Washington offer subsidies or a Marshall Plan 2.0? No. It offers zero material help but more weapons at extortionist prices, more money laundering for its military-industrial complex, and gleefully extracts profits from Europe’s misery.

The UK should take note: the U.S. is happy to sacrifice you in the best of times, so what makes you think it will sacrifice ITSELF for you in the worst? If Russia were to launch a handful of strategic ICBMs at London (delivered faster than Dominoes Pizza- 15 minutes), would Washington risk annihilation for its loyal but disposable pawn? Of course not. The U.S. would wail, demand sanctions, but offer Russia an off-ramp, it would not risk mutual destruction for Britain. The protection racket would be exposed as a fraud, unable to shield its shopkeepers when the righteous-wolves arrive.

Russia knows this, as does the U.S. Only one nation has ever used nuclear weapons: the United States, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bluff works great on regimes like Saddam’s Iraq or Gaddafi’s Libya or CIA-asset turned “enemey” drug dealer Noriega in Panama.  But the bluff doesn’t work on a nuclear superpower like Russia. What’s unfolding is the beginning of the end for NATO’s extortion empire. The Global Majority sees the racket for what it is: a failing enterprise reliant on fear, coercion, fraud and lies.

Europe and especially the UK, must wake up before it’s too late. You are not protected. You are pawns in a game where the empire holds no loyalty and no honour. And the resurgent forces of history, led by a fearless Russia, are calling the bluff.

The best British PR corporations are working with the former commander-in-chief Zaluzhny, who have begun actively promoting the “iron general” who should replace Zelensky and Yermak.

The British have already begun to actively promote former commander-in-chief Zaluzhny through their press.

They send him to their training grounds, where they train Ukrainian soldiers, where he tells them the truth about the war, which is different from Zelensky’s sweet lies. They do photo shoots with him. They hold top meetings with him in the presence of the media, etc.

This is the only Ukrainian ambassador who is constantly hyped, constantly on everyone’s lips, and the Western press constantly writes about him.

Such activity of the British in the case of promoting Zaluzhny indicates that the elections are close, and Zeermak is already a “shot down pilot”.

SLG Note: Negates Ukraine’s story of the Kursk command bunker being hit by Storm Shadow missiles.

Today, 46 residents of Kursk Region who were previously in the AFU-occupied part of the region and were evacuated to the so-called Ukraine in August have returned to the territory of Russia.

Their return became possible as a result of a lengthy negotiation process, in which Tatyana Moskalkova, the Human Rights Commissioner in the Russian Federation, and representatives of the Red Cross also participated.

Of the 46 returning citizens, 12 are children, including one newborn. They all received the necessary medical assistance and were provided with food packages.

Aleksandro-Kalinovo Direction: Urban Fighting in Dzerzhynsk and AFU Counterattacks near Leonidivka

Situation as of the end of November 22, 2024

In the Aleksandro-Kalinovo direction, Russian forces are engaged in urban combat in Dzerzhynsk, overcoming the enemy’s defenses. The most intense clashes are taking place in the Zabalka microdistrict.

▪️ On the line of Dyleevka – Dachnoye, Russian units strike enemy positions, using drones and tube artillery. The Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed one of the AFU’s temporary deployment points near the Dyleevka railway station.

▪️ In the north of Dzerzhynsk, Russian assault troops advanced in the private sector, dislodging the enemy from several strongholds. Success in this area may allow creating a semi-encirclement around the enemy units at the 110/35/6 kV Shcherbinivka substation.

▪️ In the central part of the city, fighting continues in the area of Mayakovsky Street. It is likely that another AFU unit wearing Russian identification marks came under the fire of enemy UAVs.

To the south, the defense of the Dzerzhinsky mine has been reinforced with significant AFU resources.

▪️ The situation in the Zabalka microdistrict remains tense, with dynamic urban battles ongoing. Russian units have restored some of their positions in the south of the microdistrict.

❗️ It is difficult to determine the exact configuration of the front line in urban combat conditions.

▪️ The battles in the area of Leonidivka are going with varying success for the Russian forces. Ukrainian formations control the southern outskirts of the settlement.

Morning Summary on November 22, 2024

▪️ The main event of the past day was the use by the Russian Armed Forces of a medium-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik” (speed – 10 Mach, 2.5-3 kilometers per second) and the ultimatum statement by the Supreme Commander, addressed not so much to Ukraine as to its Western masters, who openly allowed the AFU to use ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles against the Bryansk and Kursk Regions, respectively. The “Yuzhmash” plant in Dnipro, which has been producing missile technology since the Soviet era, was hit. It is noteworthy that shortly before the strike, Moscow warned Washington about the launch to avoid the accidental start of a nuclear war. From an information point of view, this is an extraordinary event, with Western politicians and the public reacting strongly to the events.

▪️ In the Kursk Region, heavy fighting continues. The “North” group of forces, with heavy fighting, advanced in the area of the settlement of Daryino and forest areas near the settlement of Malaya Loknya. 3 Ukrainian servicemen were captured. The total number of captured AFU personnel is 475. 2 counterattacks by the AFU using armored vehicles were repelled: in the settlement of Novoivanovka and in the area of the settlement of Daryino.

▪️ On the Kharkiv direction, another wave of AFU attacks on the Liptsovo direction was repelled, the enemy lost personnel and armored vehicles, without success. Fighting continues in Volchansk near the high-rise district.

▪️ In the north of the Kurakhovskiy direction, there are reports of fighting for the settlement of Berestki. South of Kurakhovo, the Russian Armed Forces consolidated in the settlement of Dalneye, which splits the “pocket” of the AFU defense in half and creates a threat to the cascade of villages along the Sukhie Yaly river.

▪️ On the Vremevka direction, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting on the approaches to Razdolnoye and Velikaya (Bolshaya) Novoselka, advancing from the direction of Novodonetskoye and Yasnaya Polyana. From the direction of Razdolnoye, our troops are creating a threat of cutting off the enemy in Velikaya (Bolshaya) Novoselka from the main road to the north (the settlement of Bogatyr). Judging by the line of contact scheme, the road is already under the fire control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️ At night over the Bryansk Region, at least 11 enemy aircraft-type UAVs were destroyed.

▪️ The Governor of the Kaluga Region reported that at night on the outskirts of Kaluga, 6 UAVs were destroyed by air defense systems, and one UAV in the Dzerzhinsky district.

▪️ In the DPR, as a result of a strike by the AFU on the settlement of Horlivka (Central City district) with two 155mm cluster munitions, 12 civilians were injured. In Donetsk, as a result of detonation of an PFM-1 “Lepestok” mine on Yuzhnogornyatskaya street, a man born in 1949 was injured.
