[KP] British Defense Minister Gran Shapps is disingenuous that British troops will be deployed in Ukraine for the first time and will train Ukrainian military personnel. They say this will be more effective than “relying on the bases of Great Britain and other NATO members.”
In fact, of course, not for the first time. Here are just some of the programs that London conducted in Ukraine before the start of the SVO.
- Formation of “territorial resistance” under the control of the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for special operations.
- Training program for the marine corps and naval aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, practicing actions for the defense of coastal territories and the search for sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the “notional enemy.”
- On the basis of the military-diplomatic academy of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the MOU in Kyiv, employees of the British intelligence service MI-6 organized courses for employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
- On the basis of the 73rd naval center of special operations of the Special Operations Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ochakov, the British organized the training of sabotage groups for operations in the Crimea and in the Black and Azov Seas. During the training, the skills of conducting reconnaissance operations, capturing ships and coastal objects were developed.
- In Odessa, on the basis of the school of military divers (part of the 198th training center of the Ukrainian Navy, military unit AZ 163, Nikolaev), with the participation of the British, specialists were trained in the “special purpose diver” course. The program includes practicing deep-sea demolition skills and moving alone and in groups underwater using special equipment.
- Instructors from the Special Airborne Service (SAS) were sent to Ukraine for sabotage and counter-sabotage training of military personnel of the Special Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
By the way, the reporter of the French newspaper Le Figaro, Georges Malbruno, wrote last year about the presence of the latter in Ukraine already during the SVO.
Obviously, the British minister’s statements are related to Kyiv’s activation in the Black Sea. And the British contingent in Ukraine is unlikely to teach Ukrainians how to disassemble a Kalashnikov assault rifle, as is happening in Foggy Albion. The return of English special forces suggests that London will directly participate in planning operations in the Black Sea and Crimea. And it will control their implementation directly from the ground.
Well. And for us, a collision in the Black Sea with Great Britain is not the first time.

The POMs haven't been spanked lately. They've got a lot failed geopolitical cockups to catch up on. Only a guess, but Washington funding is probably supporting their effort. Again, only a guess.
Russian appointed governor of occupied Zaporizhzia region Yevgeny Balitsky said that Russia should return the Baltic states under Russian control. Balitsky doesn't believe in diplomacy, only in Russian weapons.

he same reasons Peter the Great had for taking them in the first place apply now
Yep. They are plugging the invasion corridors. Only problem is that they are NATO and the second one Russian soldier puts a toe across the border Russia will be sent back to the stone age. Which means nukes, because that is all Russia has left.
[Twitter] Lists of Russian secret facilities were put into public domain.
Every regional administration website in Russia has a document with a complicated name "List of consumers of electric energy (capacity), whose restriction of electricity consumption may lead to economic, environmental, social consequences".
By perusing this file, one can find the addresses of The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation safe houses, secret military facilities, buildings of Russia's military intelligence agency (GRU), Federal Security Service (FSB) and many other addresses that should not be made public knowledge.
Information about such facilities is a state secret, and ordinary Russians are criminally liable for their disclosure. We are waiting for criminal cases against Moscow's mayor and governors of other regions - it is their signatures under the documents with secret addresses.
(KTXL) — Sacramento now has 13 “sister cities” after the city council’s approval Tuesday of adding Sumy, Ukraine as a new international partner.
“After speaking with Mayor (Oleksandr) Lysenko, it was obvious that a sister city relationship could help bring humanitarian aid and continue to shine a light on the daily challenges faced by a city in the middle of a war zone,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg.
Consul General of Ukraine Dmytro Kushneruk and Vlad Skots, the Chairman of Ukrainian American House joined Steinberg and Councilmember Caity Maple, who led the campaign to form the new partnership.
“On behalf of the Sumy City Council and our community, let me express our deepest gratitude for your support of this initiative,” Lysenko said.
Sumy was one of the first cities invaded by Russia in 2022, and it borders the nation on two of its sides.
Probably little more than an unfortunate coincidence. Key phrases in this article include.... "shine a light."

We identified a position in the enemy’s bushes, struck a couple of times, one “went to join his own people in hell,” the other was captured, provided first aid under enemy fire and pulled out to a safe place, but Alas... there was life not destined.
20:45 No major changes along the entire front line. RF Armed Forces work.
20:20 Vrem'evsky section: fights for forest planting and the advancement of the RF Armed Forces, the situation as of 20.00 on October 2, 2023
After the withdrawal of the marine brigades to the Kherson direction, the main lines in the Vrem'evsky sector were occupied by units of the 58th Motorized Infantry Brigade, together with the 128th TRO and 1st Presidential Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to Voin DV, to the west of Staromayorsky, assault groups of the 128th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the support of mortar crews, attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the landings, hoping to occupy tactically advantageous positions.
However, the Russian Armed Forces repelled the attack and launched a counterattack under the cover of artillery fire and heavy flamethrower systems. As a result of a successful assault, Russian fighters drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the Grusheva gully.
Also, an intensification of fighting was noted at the Urozhaynoye - Novodonetskoye line, where assault troops of the Russian Army were able to clear forest belts east of Urozhaynoye and advance to a depth of 200 meters.
At the moment, Ukrainian formations are regrouping and preparing for an attack. Russian artillerymen are conducting massive artillery attack of the enemy's forward line.

[REGNUM] The results of a survey of Russians conducted at the end of September regarding their attitude towards the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict showed that 74% of compatriots do not sympathize with either Azerbaijan or Armenia. Another 8% found it difficult to answer. However, of the 18% who decided, 10% sided with Azerbaijan, and only 8% were for Armenia. Previously, the numbers were different - Russians sympathized with Armenians much more than with Azerbaijanis. In 2016, the balance was 15% versus 4%, and in 2020 – 15% versus 6%. And these arrangements were considered logical. After all, Armenia was an ally of Russia, and Azerbaijan was a satellite of Turkey. There was a Russian base in Armenia, but Azerbaijan did not have one. Armenian-controlled Nagorno-Karabakh was one of the most pro-Russian regions, while a “Turkic world” was being built in Azerbaijan. Finally, the Armenians were Christians, and the Azerbaijanis were Muslims.

To understand their slant, you need to know Regnum HQ is located in Türkiye. This is a Turk News Outlet with a Moscow Office.
The red flag with me was this sentence: it was viewed in Russia not as a color revolution, but as a velvet revolution.
I dont think so. USAid and NED coined the Phrase: Velvet Revolution. Soros helps fund 'velvet' revolutions (see serbia, czech, yugoslavia). Commie China uses Velvet Revolution and Color Revolution interchangeably.
The Russians have developed a poor taste for Armenia b/c of their re-alignment with the morally broke woke west, not too mention the Armenia-NATO partnership relation.

[REGNUM] The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an attack on Sochi. During the attack, which occurred on October 1, the work of the local airport was temporarily suspended, and air defense systems were deployed in the Greater Sochi area. According to the Ministry of Defense, the drone flew from the Black Sea and was shot down by anti-aircraft gunners near Adler. Previously, Ukrainian drones several times reached the Black Sea coast of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory, but Sochi was beyond the reach of enemy UAVs. According to experts, new long-range aircraft-type drones launched from Odessa were used for the attack. However, a number of sources are also inclined to believe that Ukrainian special services use civilian ships in the Black Sea to launch drones.

[Regnum] Russian special services were ordered to eliminate pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who flew a Russian Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine, and then surrendered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This became known on Monday, October 2.
On television, GRU special forces soldiers guaranteed that they would find the pilot who killed the crew.
“Of course we will find it. We can reach everyone, our arms are long,” one of the security officials said on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.
Kuzminov hijacked the Mi-8 to the Kharkov region in August 2023. On Ukrainian television, he shared that the Ukrainian special services valued treason against the Motherland at $500,000 (48.7 million rubles). The helicopter navigator Khushbakht Tursunov and flight technician Nikita Kiryanov did not know about the traitor’s plans; they were shot after landing at an enemy airfield. The FSB is investigating a criminal case of treason.

In general, the behavior of many high-ranking officials in Sofia (secular and not only) betrays the conviction that Moscow has disappeared forever from the Bulgarian horizon and there is no longer any need to bother with relations with it.
[REGNUM] Bulgaria is likely to keep the day of liberation from the Ottoman yoke as its main public holiday. This follows from a statement made last week by the leader of the largest parliamentary faction GERB (“Citizens for the European Development of Bulgaria”), former head of government Boyko Borisov.

PM Justin Trudeau is pathetic in all ways, except for his hair.
[Regnum] Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on October 2 that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau looks pathetic in trying to justify himself for honoring a Nazi in parliament.
“I feel sorry for looking at him ,” Lavrov said on the sidelines of the Valdai international discussion club.
The minister added that Trudeau, like the Speaker of the Parliament of Canada Anthony Rota , knew that he was honoring a Nazi.
98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka (Hunko) , who served in the 1st Ukrainian division, also known as the SS Galicia division, was invited to a meeting of the Canadian Parliament on September 23.

According to the Russian diplomat, the Prime Minister of Canada, by inviting a Nazi to the country’s parliament, outraged the history of his country and its citizens.
Trudeau said on September 27 that the diplomatic mission sent an apology to the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky , and the people of Ukraine for honoring the 98-year-old Ukrainian SS man in parliament. At the same time, Trudeau did not personally apologize . After this scandal, the Speaker of the Canadian Parliament, Rota, decided to resign from his post.

[RIA] You always expect insights from former Western ministers. Immediately after resignation, their eyes open, they gladly throw off the shackles of political correctness and begin to cut the truth. Combined with professional insights, the result is an interesting read. Foreign Affairs magazine published an article by former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, “The Dysfunctional Superpower.” This is quite panicky text. Despite all the author’s efforts, he shows how unstable the situation inside the United States is now and how high for them the price of any mistake in the foreign policy field is.
