Your info is old. That’s been postponed for a year and registration will most likely be voluntary. It’s all moot, anyway, since at the current rate Russian bandits will have long been chased out of Ukraine by then.

[lodi90]

Rumors on Telegram have begun to pop up, saying that Russia has something big planned for the UN Meeting next week.

Wow, long time no see. Putin has lost the shooting war and will no doubt try to freeze the conflict ASAP. Only his Soros EU partners can save him now.

[UNGN]

Scott is angling for the Dacha next door Segal’s.

Russia isn’t going to win jack squat. Even if Ukraine surrenders, which they will never do, they’ll own a wrecked country of lying down malcontents that won’t wake back up until Putin dies, so they can dance on Putin’s grave.

Russia broke it, they are going to buy it.

If Russia thought NATO (with Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland and Romania) was going to idly sit by while 20,000,000 people are asking for weapons to do NATOs job for them, they are dumber than Scott Ritter.

Well, they have no choice. They have had 8 mobilizations so far. They conscripted all men up to 60 initially. Then when they ran out of suitable men then first raised it to 65 and now have raised it again to 70.

Still not sufficient (their losses to date are approximately 300,000) and so in true “diversity and equity” fashion they now REQUIRE women from 18-60 to register.

A month ago they claimed they had 1,000 women deployed. I just saw a sad post a couple days ago with the pictures of 3 different young women who have been killed in combat.

There is the opportunity to break through at a single location and create havoc, but only temporarily and at great cost, done purely for propaganda and psychological purposes.

Exactly.

The Ukrainian incursion has no air support.

[Cathi]

Are those ambulances or military vehicles? I really want to know. I just assumed military because they frequently bring in new reserves to the Donbass area from Kiev.

[ought-six]

asbmil is NOT the Army Science Board, which is under the US Department of the Army. asbmil is a blog associated with Aleksandr Dugin, the far-right Russian ultranationalist propagandist and provocateur with close ties to Putin. It was his daughter Darya who was killed in the car blast a few weeks ago.

Not surprisingly, that is your source. Can you be any more obvious in your support of Russia?

[kiryandil]

I can’t say. Not familiar with that part of the world.

[Renfrew]

“The Ukrainian incursion has no air support.”

If the Ukrainians have no air support, then why are the Russians boasting about the Ukrainian planes they are shooting down?

[kiryandil]

If the Ukrainians have no air support, then why are the Russians boasting about the Ukrainian planes they are shooting down?

They were Ukrainian when they were shot down.

What were they a week ago?

BTW - a handful of planes does not "air support" make.

Critical judgment goes out the window when a neoconned starts talking about Team Blue and Yellow.

Ukraine, RIP 1991-2023

[kenmcg]

Scott Ritter is nothing more than a tool d for Russian propaganda.

[Right Brother]

Have you sent in your personal check to Zelensky yet? I hear you can also set up a monthly EFT thru: mylordandsaviorZ.com

[Jan_Sobieski]

Russia broke it, they are going to buy it.

Ukraine has been broken since a civil war started after the 2014 Euromaiden Revolution.

He works for RT.

Like Steven Segal, no one else will hire him.

You say what the people who pay you want you to say.

russians Wanted to Slow Down Ukraine's Offensive with TOS-1 Heavy Flamethrowers, But 'Something Went Wrong'
Defense Express
September 9, 2022

The Kremlin has so far stopped at the stage of "denial" when it comes to the success of the counteroffensive launched by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, despite having lost an entire airborne assault regiment

In a new report, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine described the operational situation in the Kharkiv and Kherson directions. In particular, as noted, russians tried to stop the advance of Ukrainian forces using the TOS-1 "Buratino" heavy flamethrower systems, i.e. thermobaric MLRS.

But these efforts were unsuccessful, the occupation forces retreated – disorganized, and without proper logistical support. Some of the russian military run for the hills on their own feet, some others use bikes or motorbikes stolen from local civilians.

The 202nd separate motorized rifle regiment of the russian army even chose to take it to the woods, literally. The soldiers fled their positions for the nearby forest, and lost communication with commanders and comrades. Some of them are trying to get in touch with the "Red Cross" through their wives and relatives, in search of rescue.

In order to maintain their positions in the Dnipropetrovsk region, russian occupiers brought some non-combat capable reinforcement – new recruits aged 55-60 years. This episode caused dissatisfaction with the local command of the russian army.

In the Kherson region, the local command received a more capable reinforcement, which, however, refused to go into battle. Moreover, in its evening summary, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that the Russian army has already raised army helicopters to search for deserters in the Kherson region who escaped with weapons. Also, civilian buses carrying unarmed soldiers of the russian army heading towards the temporarily occupied Crimea were detected.

Meanwhile, the 227th Airborne Assault Regiment of the Russian Army ceased to exist completely.

But this by no means "sobered" the Kremlin. On the contrary, russian propaganda continues to insist that there is no Ukrainian counteroffensive taking place at all, and that all of the evidence is staged.

Does anyone have a total dollar amount Sleepy Joe has sent over there?

The cost of the entire "war on terror" since 9/11 to Pedo Pete's Afghan Pull-out is estimated to be $5 Trillion. That's $650 million EVERY DAY.

Present amounts given to Ukraine are about $350 million - EVERY DAY.

Russia’s 237th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment no longer exists: soldiers either dead or wounded – Ukrainian Intelligence
Ukrainska Pravda
— FRIDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2022, 18:30

ALONA MAZURENKO – FRIDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2022, 18:30

Ukrainian Intelligence reports that due to successful counteroffensive of Ukrainian forces on several fronts, Russian occupiers are looking for a way to escape, calling their wives and asking the Russian Ministry of Defence to get them out of Ukraine.

Source: Ukrainian Chief Intelligence Directorate

Quote: "The 237th Guards Airborne Assault Regiment of the Russian Federation no longer exists due to either death or injury of all soldiers. A large part of those who survived are in extremely serious condition."

Details: It is noted that the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian troops forces the occupiers to ask the Red Cross for help and flee on stolen bicycles.

Similarly, Russians from the 202nd Detached Motorised Rifle Regiment, which is deployed in Kharkiv Oblast, left their positions and moved to the nearest forest strip.

The unit has no commanders and communications left. Currently, servicemen of the regiment are calling their relatives, asking to contact the command and find out where they should retreat. Some of them ask their wives to contact the hotlines of the Ministry of Defence of Russia and the Red Cross with the demand to remove them from the territory of Ukraine.

The occupiers tried to resist the Ukrainian counter-offensive in Kharkiv Oblast, attacking the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from tanks and a TOS-1 heavy flamethrower system.

Nevertheless, the Russian detachments suffered serious losses, left their positions and retreated in small groups. The occupiers complain about the powerful offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as the lack of ammunition and equipment. Due to the lack of logistics, they are retreating chaotically. Bicycles and scooters seized from the local population are used to leave combat positions. Many of the Russian soldiers are on foot.

On the Dnipropetrovsk front, the Russian army is trying to hold its positions. However, the upset with the new replenishments is growing, most of the "recruits" are 55-60 years old.

In order to maintain their positions in the Kherson Oblast, the occupiers brought reinforcements from the territory of the Russian Federation. However, the recruits flatly refuse to participate in offensive combat operations.

At the same time, Russian-aligned news outlets spread the information that the Ukrainian counter-offensive operation is a fake PR-action.

Kremlin propaganda tries to convince its citizens that all reports of a Ukrainian counter-offensive are a "show performance" for Europe and the civilised world. They claim that all Western-supplied weapons and military equipment were sold to unknown clients.
