Two days after Russia indefinitely halted nat gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for the amusing reason that there was an "oil leak" (shown below)...
... on Monday Russia finally admitted what everyone has known since February - namely that it has weaponized commodities in response to the West's weaponization of currencies (as Zoltan Pozsar has said all along),when the Kremlin said that Russia’s gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline will not resume in full until the "collective west" lifts sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, blamed EU, UK, and Canadian sanctions for Russia’s failure to deliver gas through the key pipeline, which delivers gas to Germany from St Petersburg via the Baltic sea.
"The problems pumping gas came about because of the sanctions western countries introduced against our country and several companies," Peskov said, according to the Interfax news agency. "There are no other reasons that could have caused this pumping problem."
Peskov’s comments were the most stark demand yet by the Kremlin that the EU roll back its sanctions in exchange for Russia resuming gas deliveries to the continent. It also confirms that Russia no longer needs to pretend it needs to export commodities to Europe - after all it has more than enough demand in China and India - and is willing to give Europe just enough to rope to... well, you know the rest.
#2
The West weaponizes the global finance system, hits Russia with tons of sanctions, seizes the personal property of russian millionaires, starts a global PR campaign against the Russians and Russian-Speakers, and sells weapons to the country Russia is fighting, and then acts surprised when Russia cuts off the gas. Weaponizing.

[LB] The one hundred and ninety-fourth day of heroic resistance of Ukrainians to the Russian military invasion has begun.
by Iryna Gamalii
The Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully repelled enemy offensives in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv directions
The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of the Donetsk region , maintaining the captured districts of Kherson, parts of the Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya and Mykolaiv regions, and, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searches for weak points in our defense, tries to improve the tactical position on individual directions
This was announced on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
There is still a threat of massive air and missile strikes on military and critical infrastructure facilities throughout Ukraine. In the waters of the Black Sea, the carriers of the KRMB "Kalibr" are in readiness for the use of missile weapons.
Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has launched 25 missile strikes and more than 22 airstrikes against military and civilian objects on the territory of Ukraine. In particular, civil infrastructure was affected in the areas of Kharkiv, Dmytrivka, Kostyantynivka, Zelenopillia, Zaitseve, Kodema, Soledar, Mykolaiv, Voznesensk, Ochakiv, Sukhy Stavok and Bezimenne.
In the Volyn and Poliske directions , the situation remains without significant changes. The threat of missile and air strikes from the airspace and territory of the Republic of Belarus remains.
In other directions, the enemy fired at military and civilian infrastructure from tanks, combat vehicles, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, namely:
in the Siversk direction , the enemy shelled the civilian and military infrastructure of more than 10 settlements. Gasychivka, Yanzhulivka, Mykolaivka, Mykhalchyna Sloboda of Chernihiv region and Novovasylivka, Nova Huta, Seredyna-Buda, Bachivsk, Yastrubyne and Smolyne of Sumy region were most affected by fire;
in the Kharkiv direction , the enemy inflicted damage in the areas of Dementiyivka, Nove, Odnorobivka, Borshchova, Sosnivka, Udy, Ruski Tyshki, Pytomnyk, Ruska Lozova, Slobozhanske, Momotove, Petrivka, Bayrak, Husarivka, Chepil, and Mospanov. The UAV was used to adjust the artillery fire;
in the Slavic direction , the settlements of Krasnopillya, Dibrivne, Virnopillya and Bogorodichne were shelled by the occupiers. The enemy launched an airstrike on the settlement of Dmytrivka;
in the Kramatorsk direction , the enemy launched shelling in the areas of Piskunivka, Donetsk, Kryva Luka, Siversk, and Spirny;
in the direction of Bakhmut, the enemy shelled the areas of the settlements of Bilogorivka, Vesele, Zaytseve, Kodema, Mayorsk, Bakhmutske, Soledar, Bakhmut and Mykolaivka. In addition, he launched an airstrike near Kostyantynivka, Zelenopillya, Zaytsevo, Kodema, and Soledar;
in the Avdiiv direction , the settlements of Krasnohorivka, Maryinka, Avdiivka and Vodyane were shelled by mortars and barrel artillery;
in the Novopavlivskyi direction , the enemy did not conduct active offensive operations, but at the same time shelled the areas of Novomykhailivka, Paraskoviivka, Kermenchyk and Vremivka settlements;
in the Zaporizhzhya direction, the enemy shelled the regions of Novopol and Novosilka;
in the South Buz region, the enemy is conducting defensive operations, shelling the areas of Myrne, Stepova Dolyna, Oleksandrivka, Tavriyske, Partyzanske, Olhyne, Kiselyvka, Kobzartsi, Bila Krynytsia, Andriivka, Novovoskresenske, Myronivka, Lyubimivka, Petrivka. The areas of Berezneguvaty, Bezymenny, Veliky Artakovo, Sukhoi Stavka, and Bila Krynytsia were hit by enemy airstrikes. To adjust the fire, the occupiers used unmanned aerial vehicles.
After intensive shelling by the Defense Forces of enemy concentration areas in the Kherson region , the Russian invaders imposed a ban on the movement of local residents. In particular, people are prohibited from crossing the Dnipro River both by bridges and by watercraft. In case of violation of the ban, the occupiers threaten to open fire on the damage.
Forced mobilization continues in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In Donetsk, the Russian invaders found a "new source" of replenishment of losses in manpower. So, recently, representatives of the Russian occupation army began to arrive at local hospitals in the city and forcefully "discharge" patients. Men of military age with various diseases or injuries, including those wounded during hostilities who are undergoing treatment, fall under such an extract.
Once again, servicemen of the 2nd Army Corps note the discrimination of their status in comparison with the Russian military. The personnel of the units of the said army corps do not receive certain declared allowances, unlike the Russian military in other military units. In addition, there is no quality medical care. All this significantly affects the deterioration of the moral and psychological state of the personnel.
The defense forces continue to conduct a defensive operation, maintain the defined boundaries and prevent the enemy from advancing on the territory of Ukraine.
Units of our troops successfully repelled the enemy's offensive in the areas of the settlements of Bakhmutske, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitseve, Kodema and Soledar in the Bakhmut direction , as well as in the areas of the settlements of Pervomaiske, Vodyane and Nevelske in the Avdiiv direction .
The Air Force Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to repulse missile and air strikes and air attacks of the enemy, effectively covering critical objects of Ukraine.
During the day, in order to support the actions of the ground groups, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out more than 30 strikes aimed at hitting personnel, combat and special equipment, as well as military facilities.
Missile troops and artillery of ground troops continue to perform tasks of counter-battery combat, disruption of the control system, logistical support, destruction of air defense means, fire means and enemy manpower. Over the past 24 hours, missile strikes and fire damage have been carried out at control points of various levels, warehouses with strategic level ammunition, areas of concentration of military equipment and personnel, areas of concentration and firing positions of artillery units, as well as other important targets.
As a result of effective fire damage in areas where the enemy is concentrated near the settlements of Semenivka and Kupyansk of the Kharkiv region, the Russian occupiers suffered losses. One of the field warehouses with ammunition, enemy manpower, and military equipment was destroyed. Losses are being verified.
It will be recalled that the Russian occupiers settled in the premises of the school in the village of Orlyanske, Zaporizhzhia region , and are using local schoolchildren as "human shields".
[LB] The Ukrainian counteroffensive is noticeably developing in the south and east.
by Iryna Gamalii
The armed forces of Ukraine are advancing in several directions in the western part of the Kherson region and have secured the territory beyond the Siverskyi Donets river in the Donetsk region .
This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
"The Ukrainian counteroffensive is noticeably developing in the south and east," the report says.
Analysts at ISW suggested that the speed of the counter-offensive is likely to change dramatically on a day-to-day basis. Because the Armed Forces will try to deprive the Russian military of necessary supplies, undermine the command and control of the occupiers, and weaken the morale of the enemy.
"The Russians will counterattack from time to time and recapture some of the lost positions and will probably carry out fierce artillery and air attacks on the liberated settlements and the advancing Ukrainian troops," ISW experts predict.
However, Ukrainian forces have made significant progress in eliciting more realistic commentary from Russian bloggers, who until today have largely heeded the Kremlin's upbeat rhetoric.
We will remind you that the Armed Forces successfully repelled the enemy's offensive in the Bakhmut and Avdiiv areas . The enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk region, maintaining the captured districts of Kherson region, parts of Kharkiv region, Zaporozhye region, and Mykolaiv region, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searching for weak points in our defense, trying to improve the tactical position in certain directions.
Yesterday, the Russians killed three civilians of the Donetsk region .
Pavlo Kyrylenko , the head of the Donetsk OVA , reported this in Telegram.
It is noted that two residents of Donetsk region were killed in Kurakhovo and one in Soledar. Three more people were injured.
Currently, it is impossible to establish the exact number of victims in Mariupol and Volnovas.
We will remind you that the enemy continues to focus its efforts on establishing full control over the territory of Donetsk region, holding the captured districts of Kherson, parts of Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Mykolaiv regions, as well as creating favorable conditions for resuming the offensive, searching for weak points in our defense, trying to improve the tactical position on separate directions.

17:47 EU stockpiles of weapons are depleted, Borrell said: "The military stocks of most member states were, I would not say, depleted, but depleted to a large extent, because we provide a lot of potential for Ukrainians." At the same time, he called on the EU countries to better coordinate their spending on military equipment and replenish the stock: "The best way to replenish is to do it together. It will be cheaper."
Borrell also expressed regret that the EU missed the opportunity to start training the Ukrainian military a year ago: "Unfortunately, we did not do this, and today we regret it. We regret that in August last year we did not follow this request."

17:13 During a meeting with Borrell, Shmyhal discussed military support for Ukraine: "Ukraine is interested in your initiative to create an EU military support mission for Ukraine as part of a joint security and defense policy.

We coordinated further defense support from France. We exchanged assessments of the results of the IAEA mission at the ZNPP."
16:46 As part of the counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated one settlement in the Donetsk region and two more in the southern regions of the country, Zelensky said in an address to the Ukrainians. The president did not specify which settlements he was talking about, but the day before, the Office of the President confirmed numerous reports about the liberation of Vysokopolye in the Kherson region.

16:42 NATO, at the urgent request of Reznikov, called on member countries to provide winter equipment and clothing to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes Spiegel. According to the publication, Reznikov wrote a letter to Stoltenberg at the end of July, in which he called for the urgent delivery of winter clothes and winter tents for 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers. Since then, NATO countries have searched their warehouses for affordable items.
The USA, Canada, Sweden and Finland have already promised supplies that will cover 50% of the request. However, the search is complicated by the fact that stocks of winter equipment in most countries are reserved for the soldiers of their own armies, and that winter clothing is a popular and scarce commodity on the world market.
16:26 Experts from EU countries will discuss the introduction of a price maximum for Russian gas on September 7, writes Bloomberg.
15:47 Ukraine can oust Russian gas from Europe, Shmyhal said following a meeting with Vice President of the European Commission Maros Sefcovic in Brussels: "Electricity exports from Ukraine can replace significant volumes of gas imports from Russia. He also raised the issue of increasing the opportunities for exporting electricity from Ukraine in the EU. Now the trading capacity is 300 MW, while our export potential is up to 2000 MW. We look forward to increasing the volume of electricity exports and we will be grateful for the support of the European Commission." The Prime Minister also noted that Ukraine has the largest gas storages and can become Europe's "gas safe".
15:36 In the last three days, Russian troops continue intensive shelling of the territory around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. As a result, the power transmission lines 750 kV ZAES - Dneprovskaya, 330 kV ZATES - Kakhovskaya and 330 kV power lines ZATES - Melitopol were damaged and disconnected. The remaining lines were damaged even earlier. According to Energoatom, on September 5, as a result of a fire that occurred due to shelling, the 330 kV power line ZATES - Ferrosplavnaya was disconnected, that is, the last line connecting the ZNPP / ZaTPS node with the energy system of Ukraine. As a result, power unit No. 6 was unloaded and disconnected from the network , which now feeds its own needs at ZNPP.

At the same time, she stressed that there are “successful actions” in the Donetsk direction: “There are certain settlements in the Donbas and in the south that are coming under our control, de-occupation is taking place.” At the same time, Malyar added that the war is going on in dynamics - in some areas the Armed Forces of Ukraine are advancing, while in others they are holding the line and fighting fierce battles with the invaders.
12:38 The "administration" of the occupied Nova Kakhovka reported about the shelling of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, the air defense is allegedly working, and at night there were about eight missile raids on the city itself. Also, the occupying "authorities" accuse the Ukrainian side of shelling Kamenka-Dneprovskaya near Energodar.
12:23 In four months, people from 110 countries of the world have collected $180 million for Ukraine through the UNITED24 platform, Zelensky said. These funds were used to purchase, in particular, ambulances, demining equipment, reconnaissance drones and much more.

They promise an extraordinary vacation and the preservation of the workplace, they conduct "conversations" with those who disagree. And in the Svatovsky and Starobelsky districts, a forced replacement of car numbers was organized and, in parallel, a register of able-bodied men was carried out.

In addition to the British, Ukrainians are taught by military instructors from eight other countries.
09:16 British intelligence believes that, despite the containment of Ukrainian offensive actions, Russia's main efforts in Ukraine almost certainly remain its own offensive operation in the Donbass. Its main directions are near Avdeevka and 60 km to the north around Bakhmut. On the Bakhmut direction, Russia has achieved the greatest success, its forces are still advancing at about one kilometer a week in the direction of Bakhmut.
The political goal of the operation in Donbass will almost certainly remain the capture of the entire Donetsk region, which will allow the Kremlin to announce the "liberation" of Donbass, analysts say. At the same time, Russia has repeatedly shifted the deadlines for completing this operation, which complicates plans to hold "referendums" on the annexation of the occupied territories.

In particular, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving in several directions in the western part of the Kherson region and have secured territory behind the Seversky Donets River in the Donetsk region. The speed of the counter-offensive is likely to change dramatically by the day as Ukrainian forces attempt to deprive the Russians of needed supplies, disrupt their command and control and weaken the morale of the invaders, analysts say.
According to ISW forecasts, the Russians will from time to time counterattack and retake part of the lost positions and launch fierce artillery and air attacks on the liberated settlements and the advancing Ukrainian troops.

Actually, as before, I am sure that in fact the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is significantly less than the declared figures.

Need to also mention a huge Russian ammo dump was recovered by Ukraine last night in a major advance east of Kharkiv.
The Russian Army sent their best to defend Kherson to the south, Ukraine lured them into the area w/o resistance, then cut them off from re supply by exploding all bridges into and out from Kherson oblast.
Now the Russians are starving for freaking WATER in Kherson and they have left the north and east to those 6 month contract soldiers.
I think a Russki collapse is happening before December like many analysts assumed due to the Kherson thing. They cannot pull those troopers out or supply them in.
#3
There are several "Russian military blogs" and many are good. Last night, all of them( there probably are 15 or so) repeated like a robot the exact same verbiage, so the state has communicated to them to cool it on being honest which several have been recently.
#4
CORRECTION on the first post. The victim was a Russian military officer, not a Quisling. He was attacked by car bomb and they are now saying he is dead.
#5
Here is Igor Girkin/ Igor Strelkov( one is an oft used alias). This man was the Defense Minister for Donestk Oblast from 2014 during the initial invasion until very recently when he got arrested by the FSB for "being honest".
Well, he's being real honest now, I bet he gets executed eventually. He knows Russia is finished in Ukraine. I can't understand Russian lingo myself, wish I could:
#6
OK, important point here. The Russian commander that was killed in the car blast last night was in the middle of Berdyansk, which is as we speak being inundated by the Ukraine Army. Things are heating up for the bad guys in Ukraine
#7
Twitter algorithm had a post of someone talking about how UKR owns all the transit points into Kherson, must be a talking point by how often I saw this narrative repeated, and the person expounded on what that means to the UKR war effort.
Meanwhile the algorithm right above it had an instagram video of a Russian Train bringing supplies, tractor trailers, tanks, etc via rail into Kherson.
#9
I grow weary of this war. I don't have time to read all of these very lengthy articles and even when I do, I can't find any significant progress being made by either side despite the claims being made by Forkbeard and others. As far as I can tell, it's been a stalemate for quite some time now. But the death and destruction continue. Isn't it about damn time to stop fighting and start talking?

Stalemate is about the best description of the fighting in Ukraine.
As TW saw it recently, it is like two spent fighters trying to land punches that don't do much damage.
#12
Russia's campaign has obviously culminated. Now Ukraine gets a couple of months before winter closes down to see if it can do better than stalemate. Likely bloody both ways.

[Regnum] After the liberation of Vilna, Lithuania emerged from the state of neutrality, claiming the ancient capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Lithuanian troops began to seize disputed territories, but shied away from cooperation with the Red Army. The Lithuanians came out just in time - their small forces could create a serious danger to the extended and poorly defended rear of the Western Front, marching on Warsaw. On July 12, the Soviet-Lithuanian treaty was signed in Moscow. The RSFSR recognized the independence of the Republic of Lithuania (Art. 1), as well as the transition to Lithuania not only Vilna, but also Grodno, Lida, Avgustov, Oshmyan and Sventsyan (Art. 2). Property evacuated during the war, both private and public, was to be returned to Lithuania (Art. 3 and 4).

[REGNUM] The missile cruiser of the Northern Fleet (SF) "Marshal Ustinov" on September 5 passed the narrowest part of the English Channel - the Pas de Calais, which separates Great Britain from France, and continued to move northward. This was reported by the press service of the Federation Council on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
In the near future, the large anti-submarine ship (BPK) "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" will follow the Pas de Calais in the same direction.
The ships of the Northern Fleet have been operating in the seas of the Atlantic Ocean since August 26. Previously, the crews of Marshal Ustinov and Vice Admiral Kulakov, in cooperation with other ships of the Russian Navy, successfully completed all assigned tasks in the Mediterranean Sea.
From the main base of the Northern Fleet - Severomorsk, a missile cruiser and a large anti-submarine ship left on January 21 and covered more than 34,800 nautical miles during the long voyage.
As REGNUM reported , the missile cruiser "Marshal Ustinov" and the large anti-submarine ship "Vice-Admiral Kulakov" from the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy are passing through the English Channel.
Commentary by Larisa Shesler.
[ColonelCassad] Strange as it may seem, there is no celebration of the victory over the counterattack on Kherson either in city publics or on city websites.
Even Russian telegram channels this time are more critical of the situation on the border of the Kherson and Nikolaev regions. The Nikolaev mass-media while as in a mouth of water typed.
Although in light of the situation with tap water, this metaphor sounds like a hint of urine therapy.
Optimism is not added by the strings of ambulances that rush around the city, placing the wounded.
Despite the fact that Kim announced the return of the population to the city, Nikolaev is empty before our eyes, and there are very few women on the streets.
More than half of the apartments in the entrances of houses are empty, and even those in which they live are inhabited either by pensioners or men left without families.
Many believe that after women are declared liable for military service, in the very next few days, even those men who kept their girlfriends and wives will send them abroad.
The mobilization of women - even the most stoned patriot will shudder from this, more and more people are in the mood to leave.
The information that a decree was issued in Russia on granting pensions to refugees from Ukraine added motivation to leave, at least through Poland to Russia.
The hospitals are overflowing with the wounded - the victims of the "counterattack", and hundreds of the wounded lie in all the wards and arrive every day, there is a terrible shortage of nurses.
But in other areas of activity, total unemployment. Even those who had only recently made their living by repairing broken windows and repairing roofs have lost their jobs.
Nobody has money. If ten days ago the loader was promised 30 hryvnias per hour, now the rates have fallen to 20 hryvnias.
For a full working day - 200 rubles in terms of Russian. Hunger has become not abstract, but the most real.
But in the city, they finally began to gradually remove tires that were foolishly applied to intersections back in March.
Then it seemed to the idiots from the defense industry that it would be such a game as on the Maidan - they would raise tires, and the enemy would scatter.
Six months later, these barricades are remembered as debilizm.
They are shelling the city, shelling military units in the suburbs and district centers.
After the attack on the military, located in the industrial area of the plant 61 Communards, windows flew out in the museum "Old Fleet Barracks", although the museum building itself was not very damaged.
In Nikolaev, as always, the blows fall on the industrial zones and the territory of ports.
And the Ukrainian military fired at Snigirevka, hitting the playground and the school. Children died.
Panic and nervous breakdowns among the population gave way to severe depression among the "patriots" and those who are waiting for Russia.
But there is hope. The example of Mariupol from a horror story becomes a spark of such hope.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
