West Nudges Ukraine to Dirty Bomb and Nuclear Terrorism – Russian Security Service 6 hours ago

"The collective West, led by the US, aiming to preserve its dominance and continue its predatory colonial policies, can only respond to these processes with the 'stoking' of general tension," Director of Russia's FSB Security Service Alexander Bortnikov said during a CIS meeting in Moscow.

The West is secretly pushing Kiev to engage in nuclear terrorist activities, as well as to create a "dirty bomb," the Director of Russia's FSB Security Service Alexander Bortnikov said at a meeting of heads of security and intelligence services of CIS countries in Moscow.

"The Anglo-Saxons are covertly urging Kiev toward dangerous escalation: engaging in nuclear terrorism and creating a 'dirty bomb,'" he said

Kiev is capable of provoking an incident with a "dirty bomb" to counter Russia and its goals in the special military operation, as existing capabilities allow Ukraine to create such a device, said Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Radiation, Chemical, and Biological Defense Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, earlier in November. Ukrainian Security Service employees are being trained in the use, manufacture, and detonation of a "dirty bomb" in crowded places, the general reported.

A "dirty bomb" is a container filled with radioactive isotopes and an explosive charge. When detonated, the container breaks apart and the radioactive material is scattered by the shockwave, causing widespread contamination over large areas.

Ukraine Turned Into Testing Ground For Instability Tools
The West has turned Ukraine into a laboratory for methods to undermine the security of not just Russia but the entire post-Soviet space, stated Bortnikov.

"Threats to the security of the CIS countries are mostly linked to the aggressive and cynical course of the collective West and the Kiev regime it has nurtured," Bortnikov said at the same meeting in Moscow.

"Through their efforts, Ukraine has been transformed into a testing ground for experimenting with methods to undermine the security of not only Russia but the entire post-Soviet space," the FSB director noted.

US Foreign Policy To Remain Unchanged
It is unlikely that President-elect Donald Trump's victory will lead to a fundamental change in Washington's foreign policy, stated Bortnikov.

"The collective West, led by the US, aiming to preserve its dominance and continue its predatory colonial policies, can only respond to these processes with the 'stoking' of general tension," Bortnikov said during the meeting.

"It is unlikely that the election of a new US president will lead to a radical change in Washington's foreign policy," he added.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Russian troops expanded the bridgehead after an unexpected landing across the Oskol River near Kupyansk

▪️A couple of days ago, the Ukrainians reported that "the Russians carried out a rather unexpected operation - they sailed across the Oskol in boats from Dvurechnoye and secured a foothold on the western bank.

▪️This is not just overcoming a water obstacle for the sake of a photo, because Russian troops occupied the positions of one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

▪️Now the zone of control of the Russian Armed Forces on the western bank has expanded and the gray zone has increased.

🇺🇦📉Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund have agreed to extend the loan programme, with a $1.1 billion tranche due soon.

This loan will add to the country's already huge debt to the IMF and the collective West. Ukraine is on the brink of default: living standards have fallen to record lows, taxes are rising and the energy infrastructure has been virtually destroyed.

How Ukraine will survive to 2025 and what will become of its economy:

▪️Key issues facing the Ukrainian economy:

Foreign partners are actively urging Ukraine to rely on its own strength and mobilise domestic revenues, including by increasing the tax burden - such a condition for Ukraine to receive a tranche has been set by the IMF. In October, the Verkhovna Rada passed a law on tax increases, but Zelensky has not yet signed it.

A shrinking labour force - the number of able-bodied citizens aged 15-70 will fall by more than a quarter between 2021 and 2023, according to the latest estimates from the National Bank of Ukraine.

The country's energy infrastructure has been damaged - between March and August 2024, more than 70 per cent of Ukraine's thermal power plants were out of action. The authorities had to import electricity from European countries - spending more than $500 million in the midst of the financial crisis.

As it became much more expensive to produce consumer goods due to the electricity shortage, their costs rose sharply. Prices for industrial producers rose by 26 per cent.

The level of Ukraine's foreign trade is falling rapidly: by August 2024, the deficit amounted to $16.5 billion. This is due to logistical problems, a fall in world prices for certain groups of goods, and the transfer of some profits to neighbouring countries.

▪️The situation is not improving:

Kiev is borrowing more and more money, but can't pay it back. As of 30 September, government and government-guaranteed debt stood at $155.56 billion, including $40 billion from the World Bank.

Due to corruption scandals, the Ukrainian energy company Energoato is unable to attract the necessary investment to replace nuclear power plant reactors, Western media reported.

▪️Possible scenarios for the Ukrainian economy:

The country's financial situation depends on who becomes president of Ukraine. Under Zelensky, the US may stop supporting Kiev altogether, as incoming White House chief Trump has repeatedly expressed his intention to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

If US funding stops, it will be up to the European Union to help Ukraine. The European countries currently supporting Ukraine are themselves going through a severe crisis, which means they will not be able to provide full military and social aid for a long time.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kurakhovo direction: liberation of a number of settlements and fighting in Kurakhovo

Situation as of 20:00 November 26, 2024

Russian troops continue their rapid advance both on the approaches to Kurakhovo and to the south of it.

▪️In the city itself, fierce battles continue in the urban area. Ukrainian formations are conducting local counterattacks, trying to stabilize the situation. Due to the fact that the battles in the city are extremely dynamic, the front line in Kurakhovo is currently very conditional.

▪️To the south, Russian troops are advancing along the Sukhoi gully and are also advancing towards the N-15 highway from Dalniy. To the west of the latter, there are also successes in the forest belt towards Yantarny.

▪️On the line of Elizavetovka - Ilyinka. The latter was liberated by Russian troops after several days of fighting. This was preceded by the clearing of a large stronghold to the east of the village by units of the 33rd motorized rifle regiment of the 20th motorized rifle division. Then they managed to reach the outskirts of Romanovka. According to some reports, Russian attack aircraft have already begun assault operations in the village. Significant advancement of the Russian Armed Forces has also been recorded in the fields north of Ilyinka.

▪️At the same time, fighters from the 39th Guards Brigade and the 57th Regiment of the 20th Division of the 8th Army liberated Yelizavetovka. Under the cover of armored vehicles, they managed to quickly break the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village and reach its western outskirts. Later it became known that the territory of the Lesnaya Dacha grove also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, the capture of which opens the way to Vesely Gai from the south.
