A refinery a day keeps the Russian away. Today it was Ilsky’s turn, pushing the destruction of Russian oil infrastructures, according to NATO sources, to 27 percent since the start of NATO’s strategic campaign against the oil industry. And we are finally beginning to understand why the so-called ‘best air defence in the world’ looks so helpless: before every strike on a refinery there is a neat little pre-campaign against the local radar stations, which makes the hit practically guaranteed. To make it worse, the targets are always the distillation towers and the pumping stations – not only extremely slow to repair but in fact impossible, since they were all built with Western technology that neither Russia nor China can reproduce. At this pace, once the 40 percent mark is reached (in about a month), Russia’s ability not only to wage war but even to function as a society will be wiped out. The irony is delicious: Russia, which pretends to be fighting Nazism, is ending up like the Nazi armies themselves, stopped dead by the simple lack of fuel.

This interview is in German and behind a paywall, yet I can get you the gist:
There were no economic negotiations, the EU just gave Trump all he wanted, in exchange for the promise not to leave Europe unprotected and alone in the fight against Russia in the Ukraines.
Source: Sabine Weyand, Director-General for Trade and Economic Security of the European Commission.
Quote 1: “There is a land war on the European continent, and we are entirely dependent on the United States.”
Quote 2: “The European side was under enormous pressure to find a quick solution to stabilize transatlantic relations – especially regarding security guarantees.”
Quote 3: “Dependencies are now seen as security risks. That is why trade relations are increasingly viewed through the lens of security policy,”
A very remarkable interview.

Back to Maidan and the Death of a nasty neo-Nazi
Excellent piece and well worth reading on key figures in that Nuland coup
The Neo-Nazi Who Knew Too Much?
Kit Klarenberg
Sep 07, 2025
On August 30th, Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in broad daylight in Lviv, Ukraine. A key figure in the foreign-fomented Maidan putsch and a prominent and influential politician locally for many years, he was mourned by a welter of British, European and US officials.
[…] Whatever the truth of the matter, Parubiy took an enormous number of sensitive secrets to his grave, which a great many individuals and organisations have a significant interest in remaining concealed forever. A longstanding, outspoken ultranationalist, in 1991 he cofounded the openly Neo-Nazi Social-Nationalist Party – later rebranded Svoboda – and 1998 – 2004 ran its paramilitary wing, Patriot of Ukraine. The unit, like its parent political party, aggressively advocated insurrectionary violence, and espoused virulent, genocidal hatred of Russia and Russians.

The Russians have something the Nazis didn’t have: atomic bombs. Guess what? They will not be stopped by lack of fuel.
You know what will happen first, though, when the percentage of Russian refineries goes down? The Russians will stop exporting oil. The first ones to get hit by the dying refineries won’t be Russians, and most certainly not the Russian army. It will be their customers like good old Europe. In other words: It will be you, Louis. The prices will rise. You might even get hit by shortages.

Moscow denies striking Kiev parliament with missiles and drones, of course its not unknown for the Neo-Nazi’s, to attack their own infrastructure and then blame it on Russia.
“Russian forces have carried out a long-range strike on Ukrainian drone assembly facilities, as well as an industrial enterprise in Kiev, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said, adding that no other buildings were targeted. Ukraine earlier accused Russia of striking the building housing the Cabinet of Ministers in Kiev.
In a statement on Sunday, the ministry said the massive high-precision strike was aimed at facilities producing, repairing, and storing UAVs, as well as military airfields in the central, southern, and eastern parts of Ukraine.
Also targeted were the industrial enterprise ‘Kiev-67’ on the western outskirts of the Ukrainian capital and a logistics facility in the southern part of the city.”

That’s confidence for you, no doubt the IOC will allow the Zionists to participate – even though they are committing genocide in Gaza.
“The Russian Olympic team is preparing for full participation in the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyaryov told TASS on Thursday.
The country’s athletes have gradually been returning to international competitions after years of Ukraine-related restrictions, following recommendations issued by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) shortly after the escalation of the conflict in February 2022.
“We are preparing to take part in the 2028 Olympic Games with a full roster,” Degtyaryov told TASS at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
“We will hold the second summer ‘Spartakiad’ with the strongest athletes,” he added, explaining that “these are our domestic qualifying competitions for the Olympics.””

It doesn’t have to be true at all. I’m surprised they even bother to write anything, probably internal polls show the population in EU isn’t very anti-Belarus and they need a bit of help. Look how many retards are convinced Patriots fight everything. Writing news about imaginary battles doesn’t mean there are any. It’s the same thing Trumpy does at home. He fights imaginary wars and wins them, then his fans buy his or wifey’s crypto scam and the imaginary turns into real money

Another addition to Louis at (2) – Louis wrote:
“To make it worse, the targets are always the distillation towers and the pumping stations – not only extremely slow to repair but in fact impossible, since they were all built with Western technology that neither Russia nor China can reproduce!”
Maybe impossible to repair, Louis. But not impossible to replace.
Some years ago, around 2022 before the Nordstream pipelines got blown up, Nordstream 1 got shut down for maintenance of its Siemens turbines.
It had to be shut down because the backup turbine was out of order due to sanctions – it had been sent to Siemens in Canada for repair, and Canada refused to return it to Russia.
It later sent it to Siemens in Germany, but neither Germany nor Canada wanted to guarantee that the turbines had not been tampered with by a third party. Russia refused to take it back from Germany, no matter how that clown Olaf Scholz threatened and cajoled.
It offered to send gas through Nordstream 2. As we then learned, Nordstream 2 did not use Siemens turbines.
It was built using Russian turbines, turbines manufactured and maintained in Russia.
I suspect that’s at least one reason why Nordstream 2 was so unacceptable to the West.
In the short to medium term, the distillation towers and pumping stations may be out of order. In the medium to long term, they will be replaced using Russian technology. The Russians build some of the most advanced weapons in the world. They are up to that task.
It will be a delicious irony indeed, if the West kills another part of its crumbling technology sector this way.

Clearly Putin finds it more palatable to destroy Ukrainian men who were sent to the front against their will than to deliver any kind of hit against the “Nazi” regime who sent them there. Really makes you think.

On chilly late summer mornings we get a foretaste of what’s in store:
Fall, the season of false flags.
“Russia targeted Ukrainian government building w/ high-precision missiles”
plus
“Ukraine’s Air Force confirmed that several Russian-launched Shahed drones entered from the Belarusian direction last night.”
Both events invite a retaliatory attack on Belarus and long-range missile launches toward Moscow.
Over which the Kievan neo-Nazis and the Euro-vassals have been slobbering over.
Please note that the quid pro quo sweetener which allowed DJT to swing the U.S./EU trade deal, the honey lubricant if you like, was reportedly a promise on DJT’s part to escalate the war in Ukraine.
This according to Andrew Korybko in an article on the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline @ his substack.

AFU shuts down Gerans over their cities with small-arms/machinegun fire. This commonly leads to a drone being hit without detonating the explosives. Then they fall indiscriminately and detonate on impact.

Chinese refineries are running at 75% of capacity, some less. Fairly certain that China’s idle capacity is a multiple of Russia’s refining needs.
Posted by: Passerby | Sep 7 2025 14:03 utc | 22
Been looking for verification of the claimed strikes on Russian refineries, but none of the Ukrainian outlets I regularly look at are reporting anything so far.
As for the bridge strike in Kremenchug, there’s this: https://en.topwar.ru/270579-nanesen-udar-po-krjukovskomu-mostu-cherez-dnepr-v-kremenchuge.html
There are reports that the Russian Armed Forces, using UAVs, attacked one of the major bridges across the Dnieper in enemy-controlled territory.
The strike hit the central part of the Kryukovsky Bridge in Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast. This bridge is about 1700 m long. It is a combined, two-tier, drawbridge, designed for both automobile and rail transport links between the two parts of Kremenchuk, and, accordingly, between the left-bank and right-bank parts of Ukraine in this area.
[…]
It is worth paying attention to the fact that this bridge is the only one in Kremenchuk across the Dnieper. Moreover, it is the only bridge across the Dnieper in the Poltava region. The nearest bridge is 120 km away in Cherkassy. Accordingly, the disabling of the Kryukovsky Bridge can significantly affect the military logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It is known that in addition to the bridge, the Kremenchug transformer substation, which provides the movement of electric trains, was damaged by fire.

Terrible AI slop. You should try doing your own reasoning, it might still be imbecilic but at least you won’t think its somehow authoritative. Dumb people really like AI, since it let’s them sound smart, something they’ve struggled with their entire lives. When NAFO types invade to this degree one knows the desperation levels are again high.
Again, its academic at this point. Ukraine has lost. The question is how badly. With the sponsors of the nazi proxies unwilling to accept defeat, the degree of the triumph of Russia is only going to get larger from here, exponentially.
But hey, keep on smoking that copium. It shows just how fucked the West is that they cannot even admit what’s staring them in the face.

Russia’s attack on the bridge over the Dniepr near Kremenchuk is a bid to force Kiev’s serious-minded attention to capitulation.
The bridge sustained two missile strikes and is still standing, though damaged.
But the attack is a signal.
The bridge is a main transit point for the supply of diesel from Kremenchuk’s fuel depot, a lifeline for AFU troops in Donetsk.
Military Summary on 7 September has geolocated video on the bridge attack.

Sure, let’s blame Putin, not the Kiev authorities who literally catching their own people like stray dogs on the street and stuffing them in vans by their ankles. Let’s also ignore the West, who overthrew Ukrainian govt and orchestrated the whole bloody thing. Let’s also ignore glorification of WW2 Nazi criminal Bandera and revival of Nazi ideology in Ukraine and indoctrination of school children. But that’s ok, it’s “our Nazis”, right? Just blame it all on Putin, it’s so convinient.
Really makes you think.

Can somebody explain to me why Ukraine still can’t take back its land with 57 countries backing them? how does that even make sense.
It’s obvious now that Russia’s weak and clearly not the super military power we imagined so why can’t Ukraine just use the better western equipment and NATO training to just crush the Russian army once and for all to me it seems like the Ukrainian army sucks overall, no matter how much money we put into it, they would need huuuuge tactical reforms.
Now you could say hey Ukraine is winning the attrition war by just defending but not even that is true, Ukrainian losses as the defenders are matching Russian losses as the attacker now, the recent stats clearly show 1/1 more and more and its not actually 1/1 as NATO equipment is way more expensive to make and harder to replace.
So here’s my solution, the entirety of the Ukrainian army must be trained abroad, not just 1000/month but like 50 000. And all superior officers must be gone asap they’re all bad and corrupted, I feel like it’s the only solution.

reply to 28
Once upon a time, a writer noticed that bales were being thrown into the hold of a ship and being caught by Irish who were risking injury.
He wondered why slaves weren’t being used to do this awful job. The reason is because slaves were expensive , sort of like livestock. Their owners didn’t want their property getting injured. However, the Irish were expendable and poor.
There you have it. Ukrainians aren’t slaves, as the protesters claim. They are lower than slaves, expendable human garage who can be used up and discarded. Slaves, in contrast, have value to be conserved.

Do not believe for an instant that once 40% of Ru refining capacity is struck Ru will be incapable of sustaining its society
Bean counters do not properly count human spirit and ability to endure hardship or idealize some future gain for current sacrifice.

Gnarly AFU counteroffensive action w/ the intent to cut the “bunny ear” sliver of Russian-held territory which extends vertically between Zaparidne & Vladimirovka northeast of Petrovsk.
Suffering massive losses—but also not counting their losses—Ukraine is attempting to cauldronize Russian Forces there.

Attack on the bridge in Poltava;
In a treaty with Poland in 1678 all the regions East of the Dnieper River and North of the Ottoman lands became part of Russia and the lands to the West were ruled by Poland. Thus the Central Ukrainian provinces of: Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, and parts of Kiev and Cherkasy have had a long history of rule by Russia.
Seems to me that:
January 2022: Russia content with Crimea and reasonable autonomy within Ukraine for the two autonomous republics Luhansk and Donetsk.
Rejected by Ukraine. SMO starts
April 2022: Russia accepted independence for the two republics and neutrality for Ukraine in return for their withdrawal from Kherson, Zaporizhia and kharkov.
Rejected by Ukraine. SMO continues
September 2022: Russia demanded all of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia, plus Ukrainian neutrality. Russia to gain 5 oblasts
Ukraine thought it could drive Russia out. Long bloody war. Invaded Kursk in 2024
September 2024: Russia demanded all of the above plus buffer zone in Kharkov and Sumy
Ukraine still thought it could win,with NATO support
July 2025: Russia expanded activity into Sumy,Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk. Russia seems to target an additional 3 oblasts
Ukraine rejects all peace initiatives
September: Russia is exasperated and looks to restore the borders of 1678. Chernihiv, Poltava, Cherkasy and parts of Kiev now in sight. Ie up to the Dniepre river
Ukraine ???
??? January 2026: Russia maybe adds Odessa and Nikolayev to demands.
I do not think Russia would want the four NAZI states to the west. Let Poland have them. They are toxic.
Transcaparthia to Hungary
That just leaves 5 Oblasts plus part of Kiev that perhaps could form a moderate, neutral Ukraine

The price for avoiding mobilization in Ukraine has been revealed. It’s at $30k.
Yes, as the loss of war becomes more and more obvious, price of avoiding higher likelihood of death from mobilization goes up, up and up…
‼️🇺🇦🤡 “Life tariffs”: the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the price list for mobilization and “buyout”
▪️The commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the 28th OMBR, Rotan Krymsky (“Crimea”), revealed how much “freedom” from the Ukrainian Territorial Recruitment Center costs.
▪️According to him, transferring a mobilized person to a specific brigade costs $8000.
▪️And “letting go home” without armor and guarantees already costs $30,000.

You’re thinking in the form of large artillery fire or bombs, Ukraine only needs a few soldiers in civvy clothes to plant bombs around Belarus – these troops are already in the likes of Africa they ambushed Russian Wagner troops with the aid of some locals – the Neo-Nazi’s troops, what’s left of them will become assassins and mercenaries once Russia subdues Ukraine, they’ll become guns for hire.

” You know what will happen first, though, when the percentage of Russian refineries goes down? The Russians will stop exporting oil. The first ones to get hit by the dying refineries won’t be Russians, and most certainly not the Russian army. It will be their customers like good old Europe. In other words: It will be you, Louis.

Kremlin announces conditions for return of American corporations to Russian market:
Western businesses are welcome to return to Russia if they have not supported the Ukrainian army and have met all obligations to their employees and the state, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said….
According to Peskov, many companies that left “reserved the right to return, fulfilling all their obligations to employees and to Russian regions… With them, of course, we need to conduct a very careful, respectful dialogue, observing our interests.”
Other companies, however, abandoned their employees without paying out salaries or fulfilling their social obligations, Peskov said. He added that they will still be allowed to return as long as they make amends. “Everyone should be allowed back. It will just be very expensive for them to return.”
The Kremlin spokesman stressed that the only companies that are not welcome are those that have supported the Ukrainian military. “These companies have already become enemies, and that is how they should be treated,” he said.
I’ll bet Exxon has in some manner supported Ukrainian troops as have most Multinational corps directly or via subsidiaries.

In another news curiosity, it was revealed that the USSR sought to join NATO in 1956 in the resurrection of the 2001 Summit between Putin and W in Slovenia. Larry Johnson posted an article, and I looked up the official White House transcript, both of which make interesting reading. 1956 fits with the death of Stalin and his repudiation by Khruschev, the break with PRC and other internal USSR curiosities.

Don’t worry about Russian tanks. If there’s one thing Russia has in abundance, it’s tanks, both in reserve and in production, which is surging each year. Ghost of Zanon is correct, if Ukraine is stupid enough to attack Belarus, it will just legitimize opening another front on Kiev, which is what, I bet, drug-addicted rat Zelensky is personally terrified of.

West doesn’t want ua to win just to weaken ru and will never give them enough equipment for win, you really don’t want to collapse a country that have thousands of nukes.Second reason is that they just don’t have enough manpower for it and it will only get worse for them.This is also war of numbers, for example if instead couple of overhiped f16s ua went for getting nvgs and thermals for that money and equipment and giving them to their best troops they could have owned the night.That way they could have way more effect on the war than with couple of planes.

Accto to today’s Russian Field successes (as for Dima’S report midday), there remains a psychological effect turning to the Uranian people – as it is by new “New-Russian-styled- Drone” attacks against Kiew +
Odessa. That’s a new signal to UKR-Forces resp. their Commanders.
How to counter that – only by attacking inside-Russian territory ?
Nothing to counter-attack – but continously go ahead attacking in side Russia territory.
Where are shields established against that – to provide cicilian Russian peoples?
I think, that’s a real defense issue, RAF should be concerened about !
Enough Oil raffineries had been targeted and set on fire during last days.
RUAF must have either some counter-responses or must be are able to defend its own Energy support, NOW!

To make it worse, the targets are always the distillation towers and the pumping stations – not only extremely slow to repair but in fact impossible, since they were all built with Western technology that neither Russia nor China can reproduce. At this pace, once the 40 percent mark is reached (in about a month), Russia’s ability not only to wage war but even to function as a society will be wiped out. The irony is delicious: Russia, which pretends to be fighting Nazism, is ending up like the Nazi armies themselves, stopped dead by the simple lack of fuel.

Such nonsense!
Almost all refineries in the former Eastern Bloc were built by the Soviet Union!!!
Google excerpt:
Most Russian refineries were originally built and operated by the Soviet government before the country privatized its oil and gas infrastructure after the collapse of the Soviet Union. After privatization, Russian energy companies such as Rosneft, Lukoil, and Gazprom Neft took over responsibility for the construction, modernization, and operation of many of these refineries.
.
Rosneft:
The largest Russian oil company owns and operates several large refineries in Russia and is heavily involved in the modernization of the facilities and has its own development departments, which are in high demand internationally.
For example, all refineries in Venezuela are operated by Russian refineries.
Other companies:
Other large Russian companies such as Lukoil and Gazprom Neft are also involved in the construction and operation of refineries.
International cooperation:
International companies sometimes participate in the construction or modernization of refineries, for example through joint ventures or technology collaborations.

was the strike mean to harm logistics or prevent a retreat.
Posted by: Newbie | Sep 7 2025 16:34 utc | 48
I lean towards disrupting logistics; if the AFU are retreating as far back as Kremenchug then I’d call that a rout rather than a retreat, as it would mean a serious loss of control of the Dnieper left bank. I’ve not seen much information about fortified positions in the Poltava region for the Ukrainian forces to actually retreat to and mount a defence.
From some video clips that are emerging of the traffic jams, it certainly looks to be highly disruptive of what passes for everyday life in the area.

ABC’s Martha Raddatz gave Zelensky ample PR time on her Sunday Morning Show, and Zelensky wasted no time in telling his host (and the viewers) that @ the Alaska Summit DJT gave VVP “everything he wanted.”
Zelensky groused about the fact that DJT gave up his demands for a ceasefire while meeting w/ VVP. opting instead for a long-term peace plan.
Zelensky pouted about the fact that VVP invited him to meet in Moscow: “I can’t go there when my country is under missile attack. I can’t go to the capital of this terrorist.”
Additionally, Zelensky whinged about the need for greater pressure on VVP, in order to end the war: “You need to take away his weapon. Energy is his weapon.”
Bear in mind that DJT castigated the Coalition of the Willing from afar during his Zoom-link to their mtg in Paris, accusing them of “funding the war” by purchasing Russian oil.
Sundays are not only about network news shows anymore, however.
Because the NFL airs a smorgasbord of beaucoup games, starting right now.
BTW: the Tush Push w/ 1-yard to gain is still *legal*, and Philly is the team that mainly racks up First Downs, and even scores, when employing it: a mass of burly beefcake pushing the ball-carrier over the line of scrimmage.
My question: can Newtonian Law not come, quite literally, into play here-? The defensive backs on the other team need to counter w/ their own burly beefcake response—-the Contra-Tush.
Nota Bene: the Tush Push this year has its own sponsor: Dude Wipes.
Additionally, our Friends in the Desert take odds each weekend on how many times the Tush Push will occur in individual games, broken down by team.
This time of year my pronouns are
* 49ers
* LA Chargers
* Las Vegas Raiders
Have a great time kicking back w/ the NFL, if you’re so inclined.

Posted by: Julian | Sep 7 2025 15:27 utc | 42
Wrongo.
Several hundred thousand can be enlisted.
“The size of the Belarusian army varies depending on the source and definition, but recent estimates generally place the number of active personnel between 45,000 and 48,000, with significantly larger reserves of several hundred thousand. A 2022 report noted plans to increase the active force to 80,000, though this figure’s realization is uncertain. ”

Now, no one in the West would dare to repeat N1 and N2.
And if…China is not Germany, Russia kept quiet for once (although no one really knows whether they kept quiet).
The West is much more dependent on its submarine connections and its hydrocarbon supply than Russia or China.
A Western attack on this new pipeline would be a declaration of war…whereas N1 and N2 represent a declaration of war on Germany, hence NATO.

Now, within the Western bubble, international law has also increasingly become a matter of daily necessity.
If a Western government violates it, it remains silent…but woe betide anyone who allegedly does or would do something that isn’t acceptable.
International law and human rights are defined according to the time of day and the sinner. Not by letter or text.

The worst thing is that Western societies have become accustomed to it…or have surrendered to their lies, governments only see their families’ own creations.

The way it is shaping up for Ukraine. Every thing east of the river will be Russia. Only question of intrest Odessa.
The notion that oil distillation towers are, in general, some some sort super duper tech which is a western monopoly is utterly laughable.
There are specific processes where the West might still be ahead but a basic distillation tower is very old news.
That said in principle they could be destroyed faster they can be manufactured and installed.
We shall see but it is not the first ukrainian oil campaign.

Paraphrasing the former Faux News host turned Secretary of War, Peter Strangelove Hegseth, “We don’ need no steenkeeng badges!”
Bringing rare transparency to the USG, the Trump regime proposes renaming the DOD “The Department of War”. According to former presstitute EggSack, “It’s about restoring the warrior ethos… we’re going to go on the offense, not just on defense… Maximum lethality, not tepid legality… Violent effect, not politically correct.”
The word “lethality” seems to give peter a boner, just as murder on the high seas does Donald, “obliterating” alleged narco-skiffs. The candor is refreshing.

IMHO, Ukraine/NATO action is aimed at producing news headlines, not strategic or tactical advantage.
Ukrainian drone development is a significant resource drain for the country, with limited return.
In the same way V2 development consumed scarce resources, produced headlines, but not victory.

I was looking at a list of Google trend searches yesterday and noticed an article about a CDN soldier, a vehicle tech that had died in Latvia a few days ago. A link under the original article was the most interesting read. There seems to be a serious and crippling shortage of spare parts for the LAV’s and Leopard 2A4’s and other various vehicles attached to the fighting force stationed in Adazi.
Roughly 1/3 of the fighting force and their vehicles are “grounded” at any given time during their critical mission in Latvia.
I’m sure this same scenario is present with all NATO units patrolling the borders with Russia these days….

Russia has the technology to restore all refineries attacked by Ukrainian terrorists. That’s why there has been repeat attacks on the same faculties months apart.
But this is no reason to allow these attacks. Russia should buy China’s directed energy weapons to cheaply target drones. Russia should also defend Venezuela. US plan is simple. Takeover Venezuela and rob their oil. Should not be allowed to succeed.

In case you missed, Russia invented the world’s first colorectal cancer vaccine. Even western research and medical outlets have accepted that though western media outlets don’t. Sanctions have totally failed.
Even westerners will want this lifesaver.
Remember Sputnik vaccine? The first covid vaccine. The West hated it and initially refused to accept it. Then they quietly accepted it even without WHO (RE) approval! WHO (RE) delayed examining it until 2022 and gave the funny excuse of Ukraine not to examine the vaccine! Who lost? Poor westerners who were forced to take their own untested vaccines with terrible long term side effects.
SHitler underestimated Russia and paid the price. History repeats. If Russia can produce beneficial biological applications it sure can produce more exciting biological stuff NATO can’t handle especially the isolated continent who must endure a biological event without retaliation or have the whole world go to war against them.

The US plan is to provoke an uprising in the Venezualan military against Maduro. The US believes there may be enough generals to start such a rebellion. Locating US military assets on the coast will embolden the opposition, as it would be expected the US would intervene AFTER such a military uprising.

As only damaged I’d agree, unless it’s a warning of things to come.
Reduce well enough AFU and they’ll barely hold the line, cut retreat and logistics and what’s left is running out of weapons on the wrong side of the river.
Speculations… but this possible attack S mentioned
https://simplicius76.substack.com/
could include a bypass arising from marat’s first section of comments
https://maratkhairullin.substack.com/p/brief-frontline-report-september-446
Then he also has some updated details on kupiansk
As for the day, 1.390 AFU have been removed from the game board.
Now for reviewing the complaints from the west about the savage bombing by putin (stolle from a comment elsewhere, assume correct, didn’t check details)”
>nine cruise missiles with at least 500 kg explosives each if not loaded with cassette warhead
>four ballistic missiles with at least 500 kg explosives each if not loaded with cassette warhead
>EIGHT HUNDRED DRONES with 90 kg explosives each
Now the casualties:
>five dead
>forty-four wounded”
And if we take the blitz, the daily average (quite sure peaks were magnitudes higher) 30 dead on average
And more than half were killed by “friendly” AD, I’ll assume something similar now.
So… wwii germany usually got 2 killed by tnt ton (as I mentioned 1 by their tnt, another by british AD tnt)
RF gets 0.25 killed by tnt ton (probably 1 to 1.25 from friendly fire, now it’s missiles not as much conventional AD)
So a full magnitude improvement due to reduced collateral damage.
And probably some magnitudes improvement on circular error and consequential reduction of unneeded tonnage.
Shame on RF, think of the MIC and health and prosthetics industry… /s
To quote anonymous, at this rate RF would need decades (and not one or two) to reach numbers like those of IDF (full magnitudes under IDF, why does putin kill so slow?!?!?!)

Wow, that’s a great solution. Train the entirety of the remaining Ukrainian army abroad, all 50 000 of them, while sacking all their superior officers who are all bad and corrupted, and then the 57 country alliance will finally be able to take back Ukrainian territory from weak Russia and crush the Russian army once and for all, who has inferior weapons and training anyway. *Laughs hysterically.* Thanks a lot, I really needed that.
