I believe Mikhail Gorbachev, was the best ally the West ever had, in that he realized his Russia was on the wrong path; it could not join the world without reforming itself. The reform was to change the form of government, and in that, he set the nation of Russia on a New Direction. He lamented that Putin has undone his legacy of a new reformed direction for Russia just before his death... So, while the Russians are not as gregarious about "sending someone off" as the Irish ... To You, RIP, Michael- Ultimately, you were a warrior for the Western turn for Russia:

[RIA Novosti] There is music, in the love of which it is not customary to admit. Sticky dance beats, pop with absurd rhymes and rap about money and street fights are considered not very intellectual choices. At the same time, high ratings indicate their demand. RIA Novosti understands what potential is hidden in obsessive motives and what they can like.
What makes a song tasteless
“So you can call a popular, simple, uncomplicated composition with common phrases and motives,” explains psychologist Lera Golubchikova.

Commentary by the Russian ministry of defense, unless otherwise indicated.
[ColonelCassad] The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the "offensive on Kherson" in the Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog directions:
The enemy suffered losses and was thrown back from Olginka, Ternovye Prudy and Arkhangelsk.
A battalion of the 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was defeated in the area of the settlement of Sukhoi Stavok. Currently, the destruction of its remains is being completed.
To release the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 12 tanks delivered to the Kyiv regime by Poland were transported across the Ingulets River.
Some of the tanks were destroyed by the powerful fire impact of the Russian troops. Several tanks in the course of a disorderly withdrawal were blown up in their minefield. Only five Ukrainian tanks were able to break out back into the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
For two days of unsuccessful attacks on the Nikolaevo-Krivoy Rog and other directions, Ukrainian troops lost four combat aircraft: two Su-25s, one Su-24 and one MiG-29. Three Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters were shot down in the air.
Also, Russian troops destroyed 63 Ukrainian tanks, 59 infantry fighting vehicles, 48 other armored fighting vehicles, 14 pickup trucks with heavy machine guns and more than 1,700 Ukrainian servicemen.

Says Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Regarding the fixation of destroyed equipment.
Yesterday's videos from just two directions (without videos from the Ingulets area) counted at least 9 destroyed tanks, 6 infantry fighting vehicles and about a dozen different wheeled vehicles. In Nikolaev and Krivoy Rog, he continues to invite people to donate blood for the numerous wounded.
From Russian military correspondent Tatyana Vasilyeva (Via vk.vom): Battles in the north of the Kherson region (31.08.22 at 16.00)
Today, closer to the middle of the day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine resumed their offensive in the north of the Kherson region. In general, the plan remained the same.
The first blow in the very north to Arkhangelskoye-Olgino. As a result, the enemy managed to somewhat push our forward units to the northern outskirts of these settlements, but so far they have not been able to advance further.
It is noteworthy that today, in contrast to the battles of August 29, the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine comes from only one (western side) of the fortified area of the Allied Forces in Vysokopolye.
Either the enemy does not have the strength for two blows, or they decided to take into account the experience of fighting two days ago and gathered everything that is in one fist in the hope of still breaking through our defenses. Be that as it may, so far this grouping (as in the battles of the 29th) has not achieved success.
The second blow, as well as on the 29th, was in the area of the settlement. Dry Stavok, and the enemy, as well as two days ago, quickly occupied this village and tried to develop a blow towards the settlement. Bruskinskoe. As on August 29, he managed to reach the western outskirts of this village, located on the Borislav-Davydov Brod highway, and take this road under fire control.
And just like two days ago, the enemy is trying (and so far also unsuccessfully) to expand the base of his bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Ingulets.
Actually, this is what will determine the success of the whole strike. If it is not possible to expand the base, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will again have to roll back to the river to that tiny foothold from which it all began. If they can expand, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine have a chance for a successful strike on Davydov Brod, which in this case will be their first significant success during the “Kherson offensive”.
I think by the evening everything, like two days ago, will be clear. As a note, an as yet unidentified Russian airborne unit is handling the defense at Kherson.

A Ukrainian video shows a tank and infantry task force moving up behind a ridgeline can be seen here
According to the Russian description, the tank moves forward across an open field, an antipersonnel minefield in defilade. The infantry moves just behind the tank in its ruts to avoid the mines.
For days in the TG, everyone is excited by the idea that the failed actions of the formations of the Kyiv regime in the south are just a distracting maneuver, and the enemy has conceived a REAL offensive in the Kharkov region. In fact, everything is not quite right. The trouble with home analysts is that they do not have access to classified information, although they certainly try very hard to pass off open source work as insider information.
Indeed, against the backdrop of attacks in the south, the Kyiv regime was able to concentrate additional forces and means on the northern section of the LBS.
According to various sources, from one to two BTGrovs. "But it is not exactly". (With)
And here everything is like in the south. Polish version of the T-72. Heterogeneous wheeled and tracked APCs. The personnel, which was trained by the entire NATO world. The tactics are already clear: intelligence means reveal weaknesses on the front line, where we do not have a lot of forces and means.
It all starts with a fire destruction of communication lines with high-precision missile weapons, continues with massive artillery strikes on the front line, and assault detachments enter the battle. The events on the southern segment of the front have shown that everything is smooth only on paper.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine may try to play attacking combat operations in the Balakliya area. More precisely, between Izyum and Balakleya. But, for a deep advance, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have enough strength or the quality of combat control of these forces.
The Special Miitary Operation has already shown that no more than 200 people from BTGr are really moving forward. And despite the support of artillery and tanks, the barrage of artillery stops the bulk, and if the enemy goes to the line of defense to start a shooting battle, then the defending units either give the guests a cap or retreat so that the artillery can finish off the enemy. Local success in the course of actions of the regime formations is possible, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to consolidate this success. The enemy lacks aviation, reserves and the quality of command and control for this.
We will observe how the next actions on the ground with a deplorable ending will be brought by the regime in the information field to a significant “overcome”.

09:08 British intelligence writes that it is not yet possible to confirm the scale of Ukrainian achievements in the south. Since the beginning of August, Russia has made significant efforts to reinforce its forces on the western bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. The 49th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District was most likely reinforced with components of the 35th Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District. Most units around Kherson are likely undermanned and dependent on fragile supply lines via ferry crossings and pontoon bridges across the Dnieper, analysts say.
Intelligence also states that the integration of units of the Southern Military District and the Air Military District implies a significant reorganization of Russian forces in Ukraine. There is a real possibility that Russia has taken steps to rationalize several semi-independent operational commands that contributed to its ineffective performance at the start of the invasion. If Ukraine succeeds in sustained offensive operations, the cohesion of this structure is likely to be a key factor in the sustainability of Russian defense in the south.
08:53 The Washington Post and CNN write, citing unnamed representatives of the Biden administration, that Russia has already received Iranian drones for the war in Ukraine.

Washington believes that Russia intends to import hundreds of such drones.

The resistance movement invites the occupiers who missed the screening to watch the next time," Starukh wrote.
07:15 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that Russia is trying to maintain the appearance of significant military successes in Ukraine. So, the Russian Defense Ministry on the evening of August 29 stated that the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kherson region was limited and unsuccessful. Russian bloggers have claimed that reports of a Ukrainian counter-offensive have been exaggerated or fake, and that Ukrainian forces are unable to break through Russian defenses. As ISW notes, "These insulting statements indicate that the Kremlin is keen to maintain a façade of Russia's significant military successes in Ukraine."
05:04 Tonight, the enemy launched a missile attack on Zaporozhye. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties, no significant damage was recorded at infrastructure facilities, said Alexander Starukh, head of the OVA.

Chairman of the RF State Duma Committee on Industry and Trade Vladimir Gutenev noted that our products are of high quality and in demand, and therefore it is necessary to facilitate the entry of enterprises into the Russian market as much as possible.
The main problems faced by manufacturers are the branding number of railway products and their certification. Harmonization of legislation is called upon to solve them.
The first step in this direction has been taken. The profile committees of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and the People's Council of the LPR signed the Cooperation Agreement, and the article-by-article roadmap for the unification of legislation has already been formed.
I am sure that in the near future all conditions for the full inclusion of enterprises of the republic in the production environment of Russia will be created!

[RT] Russian energy giant Gazprom announced on Tuesday that gas flows via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline will be stopped from August 31 until September 3 due to maintenance. Not what you'd call a reliable trading partner.
Data from the gas pipeline operator, Nord Stream AG, indicates that no gas supplies have been contracted for transportation as of 03:00 Moscow time on August 31.
Gazprom had announced earlier that gas supplies via Nord Stream 1 would be completely stopped from August 31 to September 2 due to maintenance on the only gas compressor unit remaining in operation. Upon completion of the repairs and assuming the unit shows no technical malfunctions, gas transportation will be restored to the level of 33 million cubic meters per day, or 20% of the pipeline’s maximum capacity.
Since July, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline has been operating at reduced capacity due to the shutdown of several gas turbines. One of them was sent to Montreal for repairs and became stuck there due to Canadian sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. At Germany’s request, Ottawa announced an exemption for the turbines in July, and sent one of them over, but Gazprom refused to take delivery, citing irregularities in the documentation.

/\ Silent Partner - Apart from providing capital, an effective silent partner can benefit an enterprise by giving guidance when solicited, providing business contacts to develop the business, and stepping in for mediation when a dispute arises between other partners.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. The most intense fighting continues in the area of Vysokopolye, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to take Olgovka and, advancing from Potemkino, take control of the supply of our group in Vysokopolye under fire control. The enemy suffers heavy losses in manpower and equipment, but continues to attack. There are also losses on our side.
2. Serious battles are also going on on the Ingulets River, where the enemy advanced yesterday on the village of Sukhoi Stavok, from where he was driven out. Today, the enemy could not develop success in the direction of Berislav. The fighting took on a positional nature due to overwhelming artillery fire. Nevertheless, the enemy did not give up hope at the expense of reserves to resume the advance.
3. Intense positional battles continue in the Posad-Pokrovsky area, but without significant progress. In the Alexandrovka area, the enemy also achieved nothing significant.
4. The shelling of Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson, Berislav, Tavriysk continues. Again there were strikes in the area of the Antonovsky bridge and the crossing.
The operational crisis that has arisen has not yet been fully resolved; the enemy still continues to try to advance, despite the losses incurred.
It is also worth considering the possibility of an early transition of the enemy to the offensive in other directions - Izyum, Kharkov or Zaporozhye.

A video with various equipment destroyed during the fighting is here https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/7831883.html (at least 8 tanks, several infantry fighting vehicles, trucks, etc. have already been recorded .p.)

[ColonelCassad] The destroyed column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advancing in the area of Vysokopole and Potemkino during yesterday's counteroffensive - 3 tanks, 1 infantry fighting vehicle, 2 trucks and 1 "Loaf". Apparently, the dead had already been dragged away at night.
Let me remind you that the Russian Defense Ministry announced 46 destroyed tanks in all areas of the offensive over the past day. We are waiting for more videos.

Here is such a "counterattack" Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Russian troops destroyed more than 1,200 fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a day as a result of the defeat of the Ukrainian army in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog and other directions, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
A total of 48 Ukrainian tanks, 46 infantry fighting vehicles, 37 other armored fighting vehicles were destroyed
These are the pictures of the brains of the descendants of the ancient Sumerians. The main thing is to draw more arrows (the rightmost one is especially incomprehensible).
Having read the Arestovichs, the great-Ukrainians all night long jumped around the hopak and emitted hysterically joyful grunts. And this morning, according to tradition, we saw the first obituaries from their side and tears.
A very fruitful day turned out for the Russian army and a very miserable counteroffensive that was planned for months by Ukraine. A map/graphic at the link

...The fun part here is a tacit admission that when we got hold of -29s years ago, we took the damned things apart, rebuilt them, and wrote our own manuals and specs, against the day when this might be needed.
To put this in perspective, the last thing I can think of that was even close to this was during the Falklands War, when the RAF rigged AGM-45 Shrike on their Vulcan bombers.
[WAPO] Ukraine may be outgunned but in the latest sign it is not yet outfoxed, a fleet of decoys resembling advanced U.S. rocket systems has tricked Russian forces into wasting expensive long-range cruise missiles on dummy targets, according to interviews with senior U.S. and Ukrainian officials and photographs of the replicas reviewed by The Washington Post.
The Ukrainian decoys are made out of wood but can be indistinguishable from an artillery battery through the lens of Russian drones, which transmit their locations to naval cruise missile carriers in the Black Sea.
"When the UAVs see the battery, it’s like a VIP target," said a senior Ukrainian official, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles encountering long-range artillery replicas.
After a few weeks in the field, the decoys drew at least 10 Kalibr cruise missiles, an initial success that led Ukraine to expand the production of the replicas for broader use, said the senior Ukrainian official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters.

The Ukrainian/Jews oligarchs NATO nazis cost hundreds of billions of dollars and took 8 years to assemble, ruined millions of Ukrainian lives and thousands dead and wounded. It was confronted by the Wagner Group, Donbas police and militia units. A regular Russian army force of 15,000 is only now moving to the front with all the latest equipment starting with AK-12, new bulletproof vests to the latest T90 tanks, missile systems, etc.
That’s the truth.
