#1  Lots of news and tweets. Early reports of breakthroughs at 3 parts of the line. Hopefully it is very successful.

#3  It looks like Russia's third division has mobilized. That's the new battalions (majority muslim iirc) that we heard about in the news cycle recently. I think most have little combat experience, been training since Spring. I couldnt find the numbers, didnt say how many were mobilized. They are said to be moving to Kherson Front by rail. There's pics of T-80s and other heavy mech on train being moved with them.

IAEA chief says team en route to Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
[France24] International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi said Monday he was leading a mission heading for Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant that would arrive "later this week". The plant, Europe's largest, has been the target of strikes in recent weeks. Follow our liveblog to keep up with the latest developments. All times are Paris time (GMT+2).

8:26am: IAEA team cleared for Zaporizhzhia mission after intense negotiations

Reporting from Kyiv, FRANCE 24’s James André explains that the green light for the IAEA’s much-awaited Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant inspection mission came after intense negotiations.

In a message posted on Twitter this morning, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said the inspection team would be at the site "later this week".

Some of the key sticking points were the composition of the team, André explains, with "Russia and Ukraine haggling over the names. It appears Rafael Grossi will be part of that team, as well as experts who are considered pro-Ukrainian — such as Polish and Latvian experts —but also experts from countries considered pro-Russian, from Serbia or other countries considered close to Moscow. And then there are experts from a list of countries considered to be neutral."

#1  Zaporizhzhia

So much like Vaporization.

#2  Any bets there will be a "Ukrainian" shelling of the place while they are there?

#1  However, British intelligence says this bridge will “most likely be vulnerable” to Ukrainian attacks.

...As always, the British are masters of the understatement.

#1  Did we get rid of Badanov's FSB daily diet? I hope so.

Anyway, this was an important take down right here, this man led the theft of Ukraine's food stuffs.


This stuff is happening a few times a week now, all Quislings are going to die in Ukraine and I don't think Russia would even allow these traitors into Russia if they want to flee:

#2  I assumed when the USSR went away, Russia would be a normal big nation. It is not, their culture is evil:

#3  Look at Belgorod's train depot at midnight. Fleeing what they think is combat heading their way. It isn't, but, to the extent Russia's Army has logistics there, they will be exploded.

God is answering some prayers folks, Russia is slipping and all decent humanity shoukd be thankful:

#4  I’m afraid you will be haunted by badanov as long as you hang out here, Omineling Forkbeard1962. He’s one of Rantburg’s Old Boys as well as being really, really good at all the things he does for this site and the others that have been lucky enough to have him.

So please stop whining about him — you can’t get rid of him, and all it does is interfere with us oaying attention to anything else you say.
