A detailed summary of all the recent military developments in Ukraine... some of which are even a little hard to believe.

Alexander Mercouris deploys his gift of very expansive vocabulary to stress how

• the Ukraine military is in deep, catastrophic crisis
• Ukraine's recent military decisions were disastrous and almost certainly doomed to failure from the outset
• the Ukraine senior military command in Kiev seems to be distancing itself from what was clearly a whole bunch of asinine (and criminal) political decisions
• it's not at all impossible now (as Alexander Lukashenko, the Resident of Belarus, has strongly hinted) that there might be a military coup in Kiev to remove Enelzky from power before he personally orders thousands more Ukrainian soldiers to their very probable deaths.
  
  

And, as if to somehow mirror all the desperate irrationality displayed in Kiev, European politicians, not to be outdone, are similarly proceeding at full speed towards their own destruction and that of their countries' economies.

Moscow reveals details of latest Ukrainian assault near Zaporozhye nuclear plant


Russia’s defense ministry has confirmed that Ukraine has made yet another attempt to take over the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant late on Friday, revealing some details of Kiev’s operation, which failed.

Over 40 motor boats, divided into two groups and carrying over 250 Ukrainian special operations troops and foreign mercenaries, tried to land on the coast of the Kakhovka reservoir not far from Energodar, host city of the nuclear power plant, a ministry statement said on Saturday.

The attackers were quickly spotted and struck by Russia’s Su-30 jets and Ka-52 attack helicopters. Those strikes sunk some 20 boats, while the rest turned around and retreated. The remaining Ukrainian troops were than targeted by the Russian artillery as they tried getting ashore in the Ukrainian-controlled territory, the ministry said.

According to Moscow, the failed attack on the nuclear power plant saw 47 Ukrainian service personnel killed, including ten foreign mercenaries, with at least 20 others wounded.

Kiev’s special forces attempted to storm the facility despite the inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) being there, the defense ministry stressed.

Ukraine attempted a similar attack ahead of the arrival of the IAEA team at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on Thursday. It was also repelled by Russian troops, with the Ukrainian assault force suffering heavy losses.

Moscow has suggested that Kiev’s plan was to capture the nuclear plant and then use the staff of the UN nuclear watchdog as “human shields” to maintain control over it.

Russia has been insisting on international inspectors coming to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant as it accused Ukraine of repeatedly shelling the facility in recent weeks and of risking a disaster that could affect many countries in Europe.

Ukraine claims that the Russian forces who have been in control of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant since March have turned it into a military base and that they’re striking the station themselves in order to pin the blame on Kiev.

IAEA chef Rafael Grossi, who headed the team of inspectors at the facility, has confirmed that the physical integrity of the plant “has been violated several times,” but added that it was impossible to determine if the damage was deliberate or accidental.

The next meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, the so-called "Ramstein 5", will be held at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany on September 8.

“U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III is scheduled to host an in-person Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, September 8, 2022,” reads the press release of the US Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa.

As noted, the Pentagon Chief invited ministers of defense and senior military officials from around the world to discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and various security issues facing U.S. allies and partners.

As reported, the Ukraine Defense Contact Group was created in April at the initiative of the United States. The first meeting took place at the German Ramstein Air Base at the end of April, after which this format got the name "Ramstein".

The last meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group was held in July.

I am pleased that 70,000 Czechs told their government to go straight to hell. This is maybe the last European culture I have any hope for. Maybe it is because they were the first people I ever met. How did this happen? I walked in their house. I was three; they were retired.

See if anyone ever does that again.

Wait, I forgot. A child is to be sealed in a ziploc bag, wrapped with duct tape, and kept as weak and ignorant as possible. I see numerous grown examples of this around me all the time. If Prague has not yet been sucked out to this level, please save some tiny little chip of territory and try to keep what is already yours. If anyone makes a country looking like ours, you are a death cult. It's not fun and it is not even remotely interesting.

While we're at it, could we just revoke the English language?

I went so far as to see what it would mean to live in Prague, and, it says you have to learn the language. But I always have people around me who cannot speak English. Does that make a personal animosity, not really, but it is a bit like something broken or missing.


How reprehensible is this?


On September 2, a US-made AeroVironment Switchblade 300 loitering munition crashed near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP) which is held by the Russian military.



The AFU struck a water elevator in the Novaya Kakhovka area...


And yet, they say, 20,000 Call of Duty players traveled internationally in order to get rich playing "this". The ones that could, left. I got that from the guy whose leg no longer works, but, he says, if it does, he would like to go back. Apparently in the "foreign legion" or whatever you would like to call it, the ratio of civilians to soldiers was ten or twenty times as many. I can whip up some tar and feathers, or, we could make stocks, neither one of which is terribly cruel, although it is a little unusual. Once you see it every day, you wouldn't think so. Or we could just give them crucifixes with an America Buffalo sitting on it. That sounds good. Take the buffalo to the pond.


Do you all get this? Meaning, apparently it is about as easy to go to Ukraine as you could to some other places like Yemen, if you would like to volunteer as a proxy? Why is that so accessible to mouth breathers from Stoke on Trent?

Fully armed Russian Navy ships navigate between Britain and Ireland

https://www.naturalnews.com/2022-09-...n-ireland.html





A group of Russian Navy Ships

has been seen entering the Irish Sea in what is being considered an aggressive move. There are strong signals the ships will sail up and around the United Kingdom and this will move them close to the main submarine base of Faslane.



The group is led by the Slava class cruiser Marshal Ustinov and it is accompanied by the Udaloy class destroyer Vice-Admiral Kulakov and tanker Vyazma.

The exact positions of the Russian cruiser and destroyer are currently not visible. But the tanker is reporting its position on automated identification system or AIS. It has passed the entrance of the English Channel and is sailing in the Irish Sea.

The HMS Lancaster, a Royal Navy Duke-class frigate, is shadowing the vessels.

The Marshal Ustinov departed from the Mediterranean Sea on August 24 and has slowly moved closer to the United Kingdom.

The Russian warships are assumed to be going back home after six months of being deployed to the Mediterranean Sea to assist Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

When the warship was deployed there in January it prepared live firing exercises in the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which stirred controversy at the time.

The exercises, which include the firing of missiles, raised concerns because of their closeness to underwater communications cables. Russia ultimately agreed to move the exercises farther into the Atlantic Ocean and out of the EEZ after the Irish government protested against it.

The Marshal Ustinov was one of the various ships included in planned naval exercises off the coast of County Cork in Ireland last February, which was generally viewed as an incitement to the West in anticipation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russian Navy ships taking unusual route alarms Irish and British defense officials

Russia is allowed under international law to navigate through the Irish Sea as long as it stays outside Irish and U.K. territorial waters, which extend about 22 kilometers off each nation’s coast.

Nevertheless, it is a very uncommon route for Russian Navy ships and the maneuvers are expected to cause concern among Irish and British defense officials given the strained international condition.

Previously it has been more common for Russian Navy ships journeying to their northern ports to take the travel east through the English Channel or western route around Ireland.

Another Russian ship was noticed acting strange off the Irish south coast in August.

The Akademik Pashin, a naval oil tanker, was seen leaving the English Channel on August 17 and suddenly sailing west along Ireland’s south coast, moving within 140 kilometers at times.

Defense sources indicate it was likely assisting other Russian ships in the region.

The Marshal Ustinov is the sister ship of the Moskva, which was sunk by Ukrainian forces in the Black Sea in April. (Related: USA targeting of Moskva ship is Russia’s “Pearl Harbor” … RETALIATION is Putin’s next move, and the USA just handed him all the domestic support he needs.)

But Marshal Ustinov is a more modernized ship with upgraded systems and weapons, and is a major component of the Russian Navy’s northern fleet.

As a fully armed guided missile cruiser, Marshal Ustinov is well equipped with 16 SS-N-12 Sandbox (P-1000 Vulcan) supersonic anti-ship missiles and 64 SA-N-6 Grumble (S-300F Fort) area air-defense missiles.

It is also armed with twin-mounted AK-130 130mm (5 in)/L70 dual-purpose guns, including six AK-630 30 mm (1.2 in) close-in weapons systems.

The route that the warships have taken on their homeward journey seems provocative, apparently sending a strong message to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members.

It also serves as a notice to Ireland, which is not a member of NATO. In a number of ways, Ireland can be considered a weak spot on Europe’s western border.

At the moment, the warships appear to have taken a U-turn and are sailing southwest. Nevertheless, this is a fluid situation that people need to watch closely.

It is so strange to see Youtube channels showing vids in where the Ukrainian offensive is actually successful, so weird. I wonder how it feels like to live as the other side, must be a constant form of self flagellation.

I now also wonder if it hurts when they attempt to form cohesive thoughts.

Jon Stewart and the Pentagon honor Ukrainian Nazi at Disney World

Defense Department-sponsored “Warrior Games” featured liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarding a member of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion at Disney World. The Pentagon refused to tell The Grayzone whether US taxpayers funded the foreign competitors’ travel.


This August, during the Department of Defense’s annual Warrior Games at Disney World in Orlando, Florida this August 19-28, liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarded a Ukrainian military veteran named Ihor Halushka the “Heart of the Team” award for “inspiring his team” with his “personal example.”

Halushka happens to have been a member of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, which has been armed by the US and integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard. The award-winning ultra-nationalist wore a sleeve over his left arm as he accepted the prize, presumably to cover up his tattoo of the Nazi Sonnenrad, or Black Sun.

Ihor Halushka’s Sonnenrad Black Sun tattoo is visible on his left elbow

The pair are part of a team of forty Ukrainian veterans participating in the Warrior Games. They were joined at the ceremony for this year’s competition by Darius Rucker, the former vocalist for the glorified bar band Hootie & the Blowfish, and liberal comedian Jon Stewart.

During the closing ceremony, Stewart awarded the Azov Battalion’s Halushka with the “Heart of the Team” award. The announcer proclaimed that Ihor “inspires his team with his personal example and his unique sense of humor. Sgt. First Class Ihor Halushka embodies the spirit and determination that is the heart of Team Ukraine.”

Stewart triumphantly bellowed “Ihor!” as the Nazi was presented with his trophy.


Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February of this year, mainstream outlets from the Daily Beast to Vox to Foreign Policy, and even the US government propaganda outlet Voice of America, have each acknowledged the Azov Battalion’s embrace of Nazism. Right Sector group has been similarly identified as a fascist organization. Since the invasion, however, Western corporate media has downplayed the presence of Nazis in the Ukrainian armed forces as groups like Azov have taken on prominent front-line roles.

Reached by phone, Warrior Games communication director Travis Claytor would not tell The Grayzone who covered the travel expenses of Team Ukraine and other foreign competitors. Claytor merely stated that the Department of Defense is “not responsible” for their costs. However, he noted that “the relationship with each team is different.” Ukraine and Canada are the only foreign teams participating in this year’s competition.

While promising this reporter a more complete response by email, Claytor has so far failed to deliver.

A video on the DoD Warrior Games YouTube channel entitled “Family Night at Magic Kingdom” shows some members of Team Ukraine enjoying a night out at the world-famous theme park.


This year’s Warrior Games are taking place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort. Competitions include shooting, wheelchair rugby, cycling, powerlifting, indoor rowing, wheelchair basketball, field, golf, track, swimming, sitting volleyball and archery.

This is the first year Team Ukraine has participated in the Warrior Games. Its athletes came away with at least 18 gold medals.

Ukraine’s team is composed of the same veteran-athletes that participated in the Invictus Games, a similar competition of wounded veterans founded by Prince Harry after the English royal attended the Warrior Games. Ukraine’s Invictus Games team and Warrior Games team are both led by Oksana Gorbach, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Veterans Affairs.

“The organizational team of the Warrior Games in Ukraine includes the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine, the Center for Strategic Communications ‘StratCom Ukraine,’ the NGO ‘Invictus Ukraine Games,’ the Strongman Federation of Ukraine, the ‘Come Back Alive,’” the Ministry of Veterans Affairs website states. StratCom Ukraine, like the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, is a governmental body, while the others appear to be Ukrainian NGOs.

As the Grayzone reported, the head of Ukraine’s veterans affairs agency attended a 2019 neo-Nazi black metal concert featuring several antisemitic metal bands, and promoted the event on Facebook.

According to a deleted article from 2017 on an Azov Battalion website, at least three members of the notorious ultranationalist fighting force have participated in the Invictus Games. Because Azov identified the competitors by their call signs, and therefore did not disclose their real names, it is not possible to determine whether they also competed in the 2022 Warrior Games.

While the team page on the Invictus Games website merely states that Ihor Halushka was a member of Ukraine’s National Guard, an expanded bio on the website makes it clear he was a member of Azov.

An unlisted YouTube video by the Invictus Games on YouTube offers a close-up of Halushka working out with Nazi Black Sun symbol tattooed on his left elbow clearly visible. Halushka opted to cover the fascist symbol during photo ops at the Warrior Games.


Halushka has never been shy about his ties to the Azov Battalion. During the Invictus Games this April, he whipped out an Azov flag as he accepted a gold medal, which was hosted in The Hague – where war criminals are normally tried, not awarded. Likewise, in Orlando, Haluskha wore an Azov Battalion t-shirt as he accepted a gold medal for indoor rowing. He was honored days later as the “heart” of his team.

“symbol of Ukrainian bravery” was member of fascist Right Sector

Perhaps the most famous Ukrainian Warrior Games participant is Yulia Palevska, who the New York Times has dubbed “a symbol of Ukrainian bravery and self-sacrifice.”

Palevska gained international recognition this March when she handed off footage she had filmed in Mariupol to a journalist with the Associated Press. The video showed Palevska evacuating Azov Battalion soldiers from the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol when she was captured by Russian forces. Three months later, she was released.

Palevska’s release by Russia was such a notable event in Ukraine that President Zelensky personally remarked on the development.

The Associated Press downplayed her links to the Azov Battalion, writing “Russia has portrayed Taira as working for the nationalist Azov Battalion… But the AP found no such evidence, and friends and colleagues said she had no links to Azov.”

However, Palevska was a member of another neo-Nazi formation similarly incorporated into the Ukrainian military – a fact not mentioned by mainstream media outlets that vaulted her to war hero status this March.

A 2019 Bloomberg Businessweek report identified Palevska as “a former member of Right Sector,.” (“There’s no such thing as ex-Right Sector,” she claimed). After leaving the group “amid infighting,” she organized a team of combat medics named after her World of Warcraft character, “Taira’s Angels.”

Bloomberg’s correspondent met with Palevska in Mariupol, which was then controlled by the Azov Battalion. Palevska’s medic group “runs through about $20,000, half of it from abroad, in cash, fuel, and medical supplies every month,” he reported.

“Everyone I talk to describes [Palevska], dappled with Buddhist tattoos and sporting dyed blue hair, as motivated purely by patriotism,” he added.

In a photo posted by the official Facebook page for Ukrainian Warrior Games team, Palevska’s tattoo of the ultranationalist slogan “Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the Heroes” is clearly visible.

Another member of Palevska’s media group was “wearing a T-shirt from the neo-Nazi apparel company Sva Stone and an Iron Cross ring,” according to Bloomberg.

Nazi salutes litter Team Ukraine’s Facebook page

It is difficult to believe that Palevska and Halushka are the only members of Team Ukraine that have belonged to neo-Nazi groups.

A photo posted on the team’s official Facebook page show five team members performing a fascist salute in front of a Warrior Games banner.

In other photos, a member of the team wearing a Warrior Games t-shirt can be seen holding a Right Sector flag; and seven veterans associated with the team bear the flag of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the Schutzstaffel (SS), a WWII-era Nazi military formation made up of Ukrainian nationalists.

American taxpayers have already forked $60 billion over to Ukraine since the war broke out in 2014. They are therefore entitled to know whether the Department of Defense paid Team Ukraine’s travel expenses.

Video from the Department of Defense shows the Ukrainian team deboarding on the tarmac at MacDill Air Force Base. Did they even pass through Customs?

The Pentagon’s Warrior Games has refused to answer these questions and stonewalled The Grayzone ever since.

While the presence of neo-Nazis within Ukraine’s fighting forces may come as little surprise to critical observers of NATO’s conflict with Russia, their invitation to Disney World by the Department of Defense is without a doubt one of the weirdest episodes in the Ukraine proxy war.

More war crimes, more lives destroyed, and more suffering just so the ghouls in the government in the EU, the US and Ukraine can get their share of money from the military complex and associates

But she's not westerner so no news will be made about her tragedy on any western media. Imagine if it was the other way around, we would see the entire western media sending reporters, hundreds of interviews, calls for justice and all that fake empathy that goes with it for 2 or so weeks until the idiotic short attention span moves to the next thing as usual

https://t.me/russianhead/6411


Oh and she's Ukrainian, she was born there, but unfortunately she was born "on the wrong side of town", otherwise known as the east where undesirable ethnic Russians live. She's expendable according to the Ukrainian and western law and morals that dictates who is defined as "worthy people"

[Mashika]

A friend sent me this and laughed at the situation of those guys

But i don't find anything to laugh at, instead, i feel sad. These are people, sent to die so other people get rich, and they are sent untrained, unarmed, and with no option to get away because if they try they are shot by their own people. They are trapped on that place and they only thing remaining for them is to wait for death

So, when you see those faces, how could you laugh at their situation? Most of them did not chose to go there, they were picked up and sent by force, most times threatened in several ways, they do have families left back home and they care that they are safe and good, so what to do?

https://t.me/russianhead/6416


I am sad, and angry, and frustrated. I wish that all the people who created this mess and hell just for their own benefit and dark purposes will one day pay for it in full, and i hope it is not too far away from today

[Mashika]

As an update from the previous post, i would like to mention this, which may or may not be true. I don't have a way to confirm in any way

Some 2/3 months or so back, on the Z Telegram channels, there was a lot of talk about something that some captured soldiers from Ukraine had reported

Basically this, there was a 'cleansing' going on in the west part of Ukraine, outside of Donbass. The way it worked is, You get picked up and sent to the front, without much training and without proper equipment, if you fit one of these:

- You come from Russia, but are Ukrainian citizen
- You were born of a person that could be traced back to Russian ancestors (up to 2 generations or so)
- You are not related to anyone in Russia, but are pro-Russian or have deep relationships to people in Russia (The SBU spies on social media and phone calls/SMS and so on, they know if you are talking to Russians and can see what you talk about with them)

It was said that these were the people that were sent to the front with 15 or so rounds, no kit of any kind, and then just dropped at the line of contact and then the commander/captain left and went back. Lots of videos popped up from Ukrainian soldiers complaining that they had no kit, no ammo and nothing much

So we see lots of videos of dead soldiers with no helmet, or no vest, no boots and in general lacking. There was one video of a soldier complaining they got a sack of potatoes for 10 days for the entire unit, and that they had been given a single bottle of water for each soldier and told to manage until help/command returned (10 days later)

It does seem there was some truth to it, that these soldiers are somehow traced back to Russia by family ancestors or by other criteria, so they are basically sent to die as a way to legally 'cleanse' them away from the rest of the Ukrainian population

If you watch the videos posted by Ukraine soldiers, they are always well equipped, or at least in a way more or less what you would expect from a real army

But if you watch the videos from dead soldiers, taken from their cell phones, or even videos from Russian soldiers recording dead Ukrainian soldiers, those dead ones always seem to be lacking a lot of stuff, or simply seem to have run out of ammo or other supplies

The soldiers sent to the front, for the meat grinder, are ethnic Russian? Or related somehow to Russia or fail to fit the 'worthy people' criteria the Ukrainian government has set for what a proper "Ukrainian citizen" should be like?

Is this a full country ethnic cleansing operation working in front of the entire world, through legal means and hiding it away by forcibly enlisting specific people, and then sending them to die at the front?

So i wonder
