A Leopard MBT is burning in Kursk region
On September 20, the Russian Defense Ministry released a report summing up the progress of the special military operation in the period from September 14 to September 20.
According to the report, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have carried out 27 group strikes with precision-guided weapons and drones. The strikes were aimed at “power facilities that supported the work of enterprises of the Ukrainian defence industry, airbases infrastructure, UAV depots and flight preparation areas.”
Besides this, Russian forces engaged ammunition and logistic depots, repair bases, trains that transport foreign-made weapons and equipment, temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries.
The report comes as pro-Kyiv forces continue attempts to advance in the Russian region of Kursk. They carried out multiple attacks in the area of the village of Vesyoloye of Kursk region. Intense fighting also continued around Sudzha, Martinovka and other villages in the sector.
In own turn, Russian forces were reportedly able to push pro-Kyiv units out from the villages of Darino and Nikolaevo-Daryino in the Sudzha area.

At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are increasing pressure on positions of pro-Kyiv forces in the region of Donbass.
In recent weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered large setbacks in the Kurahovo-Pokrovsk direction. Furthermore, after the recent retreat of pro-Kyiv forces from Ukrainsk, their defense line is on the brink of collapse in the town of Gornyak.
Reports appear, that forward Russian units are already reached its vicinity and even entering town. Regardless, the situation for Kyiv’s units west of Krasnogorovka is very complicated.
Intense clashes are ongoing around Selidovo, Lisovka and Krasniy Yar.

Moreover, Kyiv is throwing more and more reinforcements, including “best” NATO-supplied military equipment to the battle. In the case of the failure of this adventure, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may find out that their situation on the other sectors of the frontline has significantly deteriorated.
there is nothing to sum up. the world is in limbo. un is not working. eu parliament approved long range missile strikes deep in russian territory, as predicted. they can target any russian nuclear power plant or military base including nuclear subs. who cares about putin’s patience and softness against nato i say, if he leveled kiev to the ground the very first day when poroshenko bombed donetsk, the war could be avoided. now it is late.
because the people who would back missile attacks on russian nuclear assets would have been scared off by a russian bombardment of their ukrainian puppet
for me, the game is over. what putin achieved so far ? killing his own people, promoting idiots, playing nice with his enemies. stubborn as a mule. he never exposed global cabal so he is complicit. i hope putin reads this and feels sick of himself. tit for tat should started latest in april 2022, when peace agreement was not reached. after blowing up nordstream, in september 2022, russia lost face. ww3 scenario is inevitable.
nordstream affected europe more than russia. russia kept selling its oil regardless. now you have the citizenries in europe and the uk vehemently opposed to neoliberal policies and opposed to sending additional funding and aid to ukraine. putin won the information war. a blitz of kiev on day one is short sighted as the western propaganda machine would’ve successfully demonized putin and painted him as the new hitler.
yes, the russian president is likely to read your post. derp.
you fail to see that nato is under a war of attrition .. nato attempted a war of attrition against russia .. and it got reversed against them. today you have western economies especially vassal states like germany, unable to feed ukraine the high tech weaponry needed to challenge the russian federation. you have “elite” french and polish forces dying by the thousands … billions in nato military hardware kaput … and china is still growing its military in size and capability …
nato is not under war of attrition. 1st they are printing world reserve currency 2nd they are unopposed in spreading propaganda 3rd they even didn’t started fighting yet, ukies garbage was given them by putin for free as he didn’t opposed maidan so they are using them as cannonfodder with impunity. wagners were the only effective part of russian military and they are dead. the rest of putin’s army is a joke.
ok so if western economies can just print money out of this air indefinitely and use unlimited resources on military hardware — why has cost of living and energy costs risen uncontrollably? fiat has its limits. money itself has to be stabilized and backed by sound monetary policy.
why do you think countries are now stockpiling gold? and gold is at record highs? if they can just print infinite fiat?
that is why people must remain vigilant. somewhere in their calculus is a “great reset” and a catastrophic third world war.
derp and derp again
the us used the fed to bail out the big banks for $9 trillion in junk. as with previous qe it resulted in huge cash inflows triggering inflation.
the credit bubble (global recession) of 2008 was due to people defaulting on their debt. which made banks go sideways. they defaulted due to several factors: people taking on too much debt was part of it.
but the other part was the economy itself. companies cutting jobs due to lower revenue which resulted in loss of jobs and loss of income — as well as wages not keeping up with inflation and cost of living. in the global financial system, everything is inter connected. and government overspending as you pointed out raises the money supply and decreases its value. that’s economics 101 … supply & demand, derpy clyde
so what exactly are you disagreeing with you abrasive cunt?
and now they will strike deep in russia territory, with 10m usd missile apiece (paid by printed fake usd currency) killing thousands of russian people at once if they target nuclear power plant, it will be worse then chernobyl, causing billions usd of damage in russia except of the fact, that russia must earn these money, not print them. it is endgame, perfectly as i said. playing weak with the “partners” has it’s pricetag.
well, if the west is dumb enough to do that, then we will have a world-threatening nuclear war.
“wagner were the only effective part of russian military and they are dead. the rest of putin’s army is a joke.”
this shows you really don’t know what you’re talking about. you’re just another internet chair-commando that doesn’t know or is trolling… it is obvious that if anyone is incompetent it is the afu and the nato forces getting obliterated with high-efficiency precision strikes. russia has full dominance of the battlefield.
… one cannot even describe russia as having air superiority as they have established a no fly zone over its area of operations. get a clue
they did start fighting. they sent advisers, trainers and mercenaries. the us cannot fired a conventional army against an adversary that approaches peer status.
the war was started by the usa in 2014 putin has since used this time to build his military including nuclear hypsonics. . if the eu votes suicide how is that putins fault. if there is a nuclear war now it is because the globalists planned it from the beginning.
except in the finland, we the european voters are not choosing the warmongers anymore (macron. johnson, truss, scholz etc), we european voters dont want a direct confront with russia
the war started in 1999.
the day ukranazis (=nato) hit any russian nuclear power plant or military base including nuclear subs is the day that nato and naziukraine will be atomically wiped off from the face of the planet earth
putin’s “special military operation,” designed to deliver a quick and easy victory across all of ukraine in just three days, is now in its third year, and moscow still does not even control the ukrainian territories it annexed and claims as its own. ukies even hold ruzzian territories and putler can’t do shit against. the ruzzian army is a laughing stock 😂
how is the ukrainian ethnic-cleansing ato coming along?
