Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President suspects Zaluzhny of sabotaging the headquarters’ decisions on the Azov operation, which the Commander-in-Chief blocked from the first days and did not support the crossing of the Dnieper as the second stage of the counteroffensive. Andriy Ermak believes that Zaluzhny is working together with the Americans to weaken Zelensky.

Our source from the Office of the President reported that there is a conflict between Zelensky and Zaluzhny on the issue of the landing operation on the Dnieper, the Commander-in-Chief is fundamentally against it.
Today information has emerged that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing a new stage of a counteroffensive in early October in the Kherson and Zaporozhye directions.
It is alleged that the Ukrainian army intends to cross the Dnieper, as well as take control of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with a special forces strike Special Operations Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The military commissar of the Lviv region found personal poultry farms, dozens of land plots and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After the publication of a resonant video of the beating of a Kharkov resident by an employee of the Sambir TCC, the national anti-corruption agency took into account the head of the local military registration and enlistment office, Colonel Sergei Babich, who was “suddenly” discovered to have an undeclared fortune worth several million hryvnia.
So, the property acquired by his backbreaking labor:
- poultry farm in the village. Monastyrets, Sambir district;
- poultry farm in the village. Olshanik, Sambir district;
- poultry farm in the village. Settlement of the Drohobych region;
- cafe and pizzeria in Sambir;
- several stores;
- New Toyota Land Cruiser 200;
- house of 400 square meters in Sambir;
- several apartments in Lviv and Sambir;
- dozens of land plots;
- has real estate abroad.
It also turned out that the cost of obtaining a “white ticket” to Colonel Babich’s TCC is $10-12 thousand, and during the hostilities he conducted more than a thousand people in this way.

The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is withdrawing the 47th brigade from the Rabotino area to the rear due to its refusal to carry out combat missions amid high losses, - Russian Ministry of Defense.
The 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Magura" was trained by NATO specialists and armed with Western equipment. During the Ukrainian counteroffensive, the brigade suffered colossal losses, which led to its withdrawal from the front line.
Another brigade mauled and pulled out. Also the reports by Military Chronical mentioned AFU has concentrated 5+ brigades in this rather small area - since they are in a cauldron and with minimal fire support and few options to hit back, they are being hit every day. They are attacking in the trench south of Verbove only with light weapons, and RU periodically make a counter-attack / bombard the trench and take it back. And then AFU tries to retake it with infantry and the cycle goes on.
The party in power started talking about Ukraine's transition to a presidential form of government.
“We are now testing a model of transition from a parliamentary-presidential state to a presidential one, with a strong president,” said First Vice-Speaker of Parliament Alexander Kornienko at the “Conductors of Change” forum.
https://t.me/nearestovich_official/1336
People's Deputy from Zelensky's Servant of the People party Alexander Kornienko tested public opinion by making a statement that they are now working on Ukraine's transition to a monopoly presidential form of government - this caused a storm of negativity and caricatures on the Internet.
Kornienko had to immediately refute that he was allegedly misunderstood. Even all the information dumps of the OP joined in spreading the message that “you misunderstood.”
Although everyone understood everything correctly. Kornienko’s goal was simply to test the reaction. Checked - negative. They immediately rolled back.Now I will work to pump this idea to the masses.
The narrative will sound something like this: everyone around is corrupt, deputies are screwed, and only the President is great, so that he needs to be given full “royal power” so that he can restore order (although now he already has complete monopoly power, but the country is a mess and corruption
Everything is very simple - they want to do this, since Ermak understands that at the next elections they will lose their monopoly in Parliament, and this is a threat to their “carefree life”).
We have always insided that the rear military and security officials are mired in corruption. Now many people have started writing about this. Most likely, they are tired of remaining silent and watching the country go downhill.
The scheme that the Ukrainian journalist published is primitive, just like the brains of officials.
Scheme:
- The security forces, as raiders on fictitious cases, squeezed out someone’s property, assets, cars, etc.
- Rear military officials took it (on paper), it’s like helping the army. Security forces and judges in the topic and scheme.
- Physically, all this was sold, but according to the papers it was lost or burned during raids on warehouses, or was allegedly transferred to the front line as help to the army, and there it was “lost as a result of hostilities.”
- If you argued in court that everything was confiscated illegally, then you had nothing to return. Everything was “burned out”.
Everything, even humanitarian aid, is written off under the scheme of raids on warehouses. Ukraine is so mired in corruption and lawlessness that it can easily compete with Somalia. We often wrote that rear officials steal everything because they understood that war is a business.
The time will come and they will begin to publish schemes of how Ermak and his henchmen bought fictitious weapons worth billions.

Slavyangrad, [9/28/23 2:14 PM]
Military Chronicle:
What is known about the “kill zone” for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Rabotino-Verbovoye section: analysis of the Military Chronicle
In addition to battles in the forward security zone, the AFU are regularly destroyed in areas specially created for this purpose.
What is happening in the area of Rabotino and Verbovoye at the moment?
After 116 days of offensive , the Ukrainian Armed Forces have not approached the main defensive lines. All fighting, as in June, is concentrated around the forward security zone. Attempts by the Ukrainian army to gain a foothold in Pyatikhatki and in the Rabotino-Verbovoye sector are regularly frustrated due to heavy losses, as well as difficulties in managing and supporting the group.
Why can’t the Ukrainian Armed Forces gain a foothold in the Rabotino-Verbovoye section?
One of the main negative factors affecting the pace of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive is the crowding of six to seven brigade elements in a relatively small space, not counting individual battalions and auxiliary units.
At the moment, at least three elite brigades are concentrated in the Rabotino-Verbovoye section: the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Magura", the 46th Airmobile Brigade and reserves - units of the 82nd Specialized Airborne Brigade. Three formations of the new formation operate in the same area: the 116th, 117th and 118th mechanized brigades, with the latter serving as a source of infantry for “meat assaults”. Due to high losses, armored vehicles and aircraft of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are used to a limited extent in this area. These formations have not been trained for joint action, and the reinforcements they receive usually do not know the terrain and have problems with communication and coordination. As a result of overcrowding and management problems, Ukrainian formations are more likely to interfere with each other than to advance in a coordinated manner.
Why did this happen?
As a result of continuous attacks over 3.5 months, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to make slight progress towards Rabotin and Verbovoye. Although Ukrainian propaganda presents this as a strategic achievement, in fact Ukrainian troops are in a fire pocket and fighting in a semi-encirclement in a limited area.
The Rabotino-Verbovoye fire bag, which the military among themselves call the “kill zone,” is visible and shot through by Russian artillery from three sides, which leads to continuous high losses in people and equipment for the AFU.
The American M1097 Avenger air defense systems and the British FV4333 Stormer air defense systems are few in number and are often used for other purposes, covering not the forward units, but the rear areas near Orekhov and Novodanilovka, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to accumulate equipment.
It is also worth noting that inside the Rabotino-Verbovoye sack there are smaller destruction zones. The combination of minefields of various types, artificially created corridors and a wide range of surveillance equipment make it possible to identify and quickly defeat almost any maneuvers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as suppress attempts to accumulate forces.
Are the Ukrainian Armed Forces moving forward or not?
Due to the fact that the Ukrainian troops failed to penetrate the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces head-on during the 116 days of the offensive, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was forced to change the direction of the attack and now the Ukrainian infantry is trying to advance parallel to the defense line of the Russian Armed Forces, which is clearly seen in the example of Verbovoye. The density of minefields, as well as “surprises” in the form of mining trenches, do not allow us to act safely, and the growing shortage of experienced sappers is forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to scale up “meat assaults,” aggravating the already threatening situation with losses.
What is the end result?
The entire grouping of the Ukrainian army in this area relies on one transport and logistics hub - the regional center of Orekhov. In addition to the fact that objects there are regularly destroyed by Russian aircraft, with the onset of cold weather and muddy roads, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have a minimum number of routes suitable for movement. There are few straight and paved roads in this area, and almost all of them are under fire control, which can provoke the emergence of one or more additional “kill zones”, which will significantly complicate, and possibly shorten, the life cycle of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in this area.

https://www.russiapost.su/archives/338189 by Marat Khairullin about the situation on the frontline, and prospects of the war:
The main thing is at the front. How much longer to fight? About our losses, suicidal ukrops, and uplifting
by Marat Khairullin
How much longer do we have to fight — this is the most important question today, which is difficult to find an exact answer to. First of all, because Ukraine has passed a legislative decision prohibiting it from negotiating peace. This, by the way, is an interesting precedent — a country that is obviously a weaker party feels so confident in a conflict with a nuclear power that it forbids itself to look for ways of peaceful settlement.
In this regard, by the way, it is worth analyzing in detail the arguments of the Ukrov leadership from the point of view of their viability after a year and a half of war. And especially from the point of view of front-line workers — we recently discussed this issue with our planners. It turned out very interesting, I will try to make a big article on this topic in the near future. In the meantime, let's try to find an answer to the main question, which at least showed us glimpses of the truth — in which direction it (the truth) is located.
Obviously, the most important issue here will be the question of the losses of Ukraine and ours. Of course, not decisive, but, nevertheless, influencing the final resolution of the question of the timing of the war.
So, once again, we state that it is not possible to find exact figures for the enemy's losses — Ukraine, it seems, does not even know how many people it is losing during the fighting. First of all, because the country's leadership doesn't give a damn about it.
Even in the numerous publications of the Western press, there is some confusion about this. Even a special phrase has been coined — " insensitivity of Ukrainians to their own losses." Insensitivity — just think about how much horror there is in this cold and polite word. How much cynicism, pain and some boundless tragedy there is in this. People who are "insensitive" to their own death are doomed. And I could actually see this "insensitivity", for example, last night, when I was sitting at one of the battalion control points, watching our First Slavyansk Brigade work.
As soon as our advanced group of stormtroopers got close to one of the enemy's strongholds, the Ukry, without hesitation, struck their own positions full of live Krauts, so much so that the officers in the dugout only gasped. And this is despite the fact that the officers of infantry battalions are some of the toughest guys I've ever met — if their souls are not flint, then they simply have nothing to do in the infantry.
And this feature of the Ukrovs — almost without hesitation, to beat on their own, if only the position did not get to us — I have been observing since the beginning of the war.
For us, normal people, to look at it from the outside is pure horror, a nightmare that suddenly became a reality.
But the Ukrainian leadership even flaunts this, for example, when it brags about its endless cemeteries in front of its owners — that's how many people we have laid down for your interests. It is clear that the leaders of the nation, behaving so irrationally, it is useless to give any reasonable arguments about the end of the war — they absolutely do not care how many thousands of Ukrainian corpses are piled in front of them.
But the worst part is that the nation doesn't care.
And, nevertheless, despite this terrible "insensitivity", the question of the ratio of losses is very important, because in the end, sooner or later, there will come a time when the army of Krauts (fritsjew) so exudes itself in battles that the conveyor of the Ukrainian meat processing plant will no longer cope with the supply of raw materials to the front line.
No matter how scary it may sound from a humanitarian point of view for us (the civilizations of Dostoyevsky and Chekhov), but this is pure arithmetic.
The victory formula in the current conditions, when Ukraine has forbidden itself to listen to the voice of reason and is preparing to fight to the last Ukrainian, looks very simple — we need to inflict as many losses as possible on them, and, at the same time, lose as little as possible ourselves.
The formula is simple, but, again, it is very difficult to substitute real numbers into it. But still, let's try it, so that at least at the level of intuition we can try to see the horizon of these events.
So, we have official figures of enemy losses, which are regularly published by our Ministry of Defense. Thanks to the fact that our friends from the TG channel Intercept Z and the Aftershock project daily reduce these figures to a simple and understandable table, we see that on average, the monthly losses of the APU in manpower are plus or minus 20 thousand people only killed.
Given that this is a very stable statistic, we can say with a high degree of confidence that we will destroy about 240 thousand enemy personnel per year.
At the same time, it is obvious that this is only the minimum level, since there are still losses from shelling in the deep rear, missing persons, those who died from wounds, and so on, which we do not see.
In other words, we can assume with a very high degree of probability that the irretrievable losses of the Ukrovs in 2023 alone will amount to about 500 thousand people. Not counting the wounded.
Now let's estimate our losses. Unlike us, the Ukrainians do not keep such detailed daily statistics of our losses. And that, in itself, says a lot. The problem is that the Ukrovs do not have our system of detailed photo reports, on the basis of which our Defense Ministry displays the existing figures of enemy losses.
Ukry do not bother with this, but simply from time to time make some unsubstantiated statements, taking figures based on their political expediency.
Therefore, it is impossible to trust these figures of our losses, which are cited by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Especially considering what a mess they are making at the headquarters level — this, by the way, is another topic for a large publication that I have planned for myself.
You will be very surprised, dear readers, to learn what is going on with our enemies in the system of planning and supplying troops, and how everything works for us.
You will immediately curse all our bloggers who do not get tired of shouting how bad everything is in our planning system at all levels. They didn't see a real mess.
However, let's return to our topic — how to estimate our losses, given that our Ministry of Defense has not published official figures for a long time. And I personally, in the conditions of military censorship, do not have the right to give even estimated figures.
Getting out of this situation is very simple: you need to analyze the real picture of what is happening.
Let's take, for example, one of the hottest sections of the front — the Kamenskoye — Pyatikhatki — Rabochino — Verbovoe line. This particular area is held by two of our regiments of the 58th Army of the Southern Military District — 1430 and 70. These are regiments consisting mainly of mobilized children.
So, Ukry stormed Rabotino with the forces of 17 brigades (about 70 thousand people), which as a result, having lost their combat capability, were taken to the rear for re-formation.
Only in this direction, according to the same statistics of the Ministry of Defense, the enemy suffered losses of about 30 thousand people in more than three months.
Once again, the Ukry took 17 brigades to the rear, as if they had lost their combat capability,and our regiments were still standing. And I will emphasize that the losses are so insignificant that the regiments do not need to be withdrawn to the rear for re-formation.
At the same time, the military knows perfectly well what this means — the combat backbone is preserved. Since any unit that is in constant combat conditions simply will not digest fresh, untrained reinforcements — recruits simply will not withstand the blow and will run.
In other words, there is certainly a replenishment in the regiments, but it is very insignificant in terms of the percentage of experienced soldiers, so the regiment does not just maintain combat readiness, but regularly goes on counterattacks.
This is a very clear indicator — since the bleeding unit cannot regularly and steadily (once or twice a week) go on the attack.
This is exactly the same situation in other sectors of the front, in the same Kleshcheyevka, where the 51st and 136th regiments of the 106th Airborne Division of the Russian Federation worked and still work.
Or in Marinka, Berkhovka, Avdiivka and everywhere else.
For example, I know the exact figures of our losses in the last three or four weeks in my native First Slavic Brigade, but unfortunately, due to military censorship, I have no right to voice them. But again, this can be done indirectly. Let me remind you that in early September, the positions of Slavyanka were hit by fresh forces of very well-trained Marines from the 36th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They spent a week trying to eat through our positions from different directions. As a result, having lost more than a company, the Ukry were forced to withdraw from this direction. But our brigade has moved forward without any break and has been chewing off one enemy stronghold after another for the third week. And all this on their own, without the support of other departments, except for regular ones. And it does so to this day. And exactly the same thing is happening, for example, on the right front of the defense of Bakhmut, where our troops suddenly went on the offensive in the Berkhovka area yesterday and entered the very important village of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka. Just like that, without concentrating resources and forces, without attracting additional units — yesterday the unit was on the defensive, and today it suddenly went on the offensive. This just says that our army is in very good shape and, despite the constant attacks of the enemy, suffers such insignificant losses that they can safely move from defense to attack.
In other words, our troops have been demonstrating remarkable stability for months. And most importantly, our military has found a certain formula for conducting combat operations, which allows us to destroy the enemy at a rate of 500 thousand people a year, and at the same time bear minimal losses. And among other things, this formula contains two variables, a kind of progressive coefficients. The first of them is constantly growing — our industry is gaining momentum, which is successfully and steadily increasing the production of ammunition and new equipment. The overall state of our economy, which is feeling better and better, is also in the same ratio. Much better than before the war started. And the second coefficient is negative. It includes the systematic destruction of the Ukrainian industry, including our ever-increasing strikes. As well as the ever-decreasing support for Ukrov by Western countries, and in general, the deteriorating economy of both Ukraine and the West.
Applying these two coefficients, we obviously get a forecast according to which-losses in case of continuation of Ukraine will steadily grow, and ours will at least remain at the same level, but in the future they should become even lower. And here we can only wait for the enemy's losses to become so high that they simply will no longer be able to resist.
The conclusion from all this is very simple — if we take only the situation on the battlefield, then we actually have nowhere to rush. But of course, there is still politics — and it can dictate its own logic of events. And here we can only hope for the reasonableness of our country's leadership. And thank God once again that such a great strategist as Vladimir Putin is still at the helm of the state. That's a big Amen to all of us.
And I can only add that tomorrow there will be a big front-line summary. Live in VK, and then in print in TG. As they say at the front — do not say goodbye, see you later!

Our source has inside information that the American lobby has issued specific ultimatums to Zelensky.
Roughly the gist is this:
- financial assistance in exchange for holding elections under the control of the United States, and not the Office of the President
- clearing the environment of certain people (many Americans don’t like Ermak, as do a dozen of his proteges). Perhaps they will agree on a redistribution of positions. The head of the Central Election Commission may also be replaced by someone from the Western lobby.
- reforms on the corruption case. Here is a weakening of the influence of the OP on the law enforcement agencies
- purchases for the army, all through American intermediaries (people from the CIA, etc., not MI5).
- full control and reporting on offensive or defensive plans (Americans must know everything and control everything, since they pay for it).
In simple words, Zelensky is simply being dumped. His face was gloomy, as he realized why he was called to the “carpet”.
Zelensky’s trip to the United States under the guise of a speech at the UN was an ordinary “call on the carpet” to the White House. Back on September 22, our source insided that Ze had received a specific list of Washington’s demands, which he was obliged to fulfill. It is completely confirmed.
To prevent Zelensky from cheating the United States again, this list was sent to everyone, including the media (3 days after our insider).
From this list it follows that all profitable assets in the energy sector are falling even more under the control of American henchmen (supervisory boards). Tariffs are required to be raised to market rates (this will be the collapse and poverty of the people, which will lead to a drop in Ze's rating). The security forces will become even more controlled by Washington. Strengthen the court reform (in simple words, remove the influence of the OP from there, and “independence”, transferring control to the American clientele). The entire procurement case of the Ministry of Defense falls under the control of “American managers.” Now the “black cash register of the OP” will not receive billions from the schemes.
Conclusion: Zelensky in this case becomes simply a “hand puppet”, since his plans to build a personal monopoly in Ukraine were killed. Thus, the American voyage is a complete waste of Zee, and Ukraine is finally on the path to becoming an “economic and political colony of the White House.”
47th mechanized brigade (the one with NATO materiel) was removed from battle because they refused to fight due to losses
1/ What's really behind conflict in Ukraine - a thread
The U.S. is engaging Russia in three wars. Let me discuss them in increasing order of importance and the likely repercussions on the U.S.-led global order.
2/ The first is the military war taking place on the ground in Ukraine. Then there is the propaganda war taking place at Western media outlets like CNN and on social media platforms like Twitter.
3/ Finally, and most significantly, there is the economic war which may accelerate the destruction of the US-led power structure that has dominated the world since the end of World War II.
4/ The only reason an extended military conflict in Ukraine is possible is because it has been instigated and perpetuated by the United States. Without the endless and growing torrent of weapons and other supplies,
5/ such as Stingers, Javelin missiles, Switchblade drones and the years-long surreptitious military training and likely intelligence support provided by the U.S. and its enablers in Europe, even an abbreviated military conflict in Ukraine would be unlikely.
6/ Instead, there is widespread destruction, loss of life and growing refugee crisis that are directly and inescapably caused by U.S. intervention. But as tragic as this is, the military war is the least significant from a geopolitical perspective.
7/ Concurrent with the military war is the propaganda war. Led by CNN and other corporate media stenographers for the U.S. government, there are two angles of attack.
8/ The first attack claims Russia's military operation in Ukraine is an unprovoked attack that is failing. The second attack vector is that U.S. and its Western European enablers are indivisibly allied against Russia, and world stands with these so-called defenders of freedom.
9/ However, neither is true. Regarding the first line of attack, George Kennan, Henry Kissinger and John Mearsheimer have all warned against crossing Russian redlines in Ukraine.
10/ But these warnings have been either inadvertently or deliberately ignored. Also, some military analysts have compared the Russian action favorably with the Nazi blitzkrieg, which is hailed as an example of a rapid and successful military offensive.
11/ Regarding the second vector of attack, what is ignored or downplayed are the number of countries that do not support U.S.-led sanctions against Russia.
12/ These countries include not only China but India, Iran and several other geopolitically significant nations. Indeed, from the nations of OPEC to South Asia, Africa and even Latin America, Russia has many more friends than Western media is letting on.
13/ And this leads me to the third war, the economic one, which I believe will be most significant. The sanctions imposed on Russia are unprecedented and are meant to shock and awe the country's President Vladimir Putin into submission.
14/ However, they are not working as intended and have set forces in motion that may accelerate the destruction of American primacy in the global order.
15/ As such, it brings to mind something then-U.S. President Barack Obama is alleged to have said about Joe Biden, "Never underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up." Specifically, freezing Russian central bank assets have shown the world
16/ that not only is the U.S. an unreliable political actor that can engage in 180-degree policy shifts driven by the four-year presidential election cycle but that its stewardship of the global financial system is not only suspect but now demonstrably untrustworthy.
17/ Russia's demand for payment in rubles for its energy may only be the beginning of the flight away from the dollar. The loss of dollar hegemony will be both catastrophic for the U.S. and a cause for celebration in much of the rest of the world.
18/ Europe imported 5.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas from Russia in 2021. Disruption of these supplies and even significant prices increases will be disastrous for Europe, especially as the year progresses and cold weather returns.
19/ And this may be the seismic fault line that shatters unity of U.S.-led coalition against Russia in irrevocable ways.
Specifically, Germany may publicly debate whether its economic fortunes are better aligned with Russia rather than under the boot of American "leadership."
20/ Again, the U.S.-led sanctions have unleashed forces that may ultimately undermine U.S. interests far more than its instigation of the conflict in Ukraine was intended to solve.
21/ In summary, it is not at all clear Russia is losing these three wars. In fact, there are signs this latest US-instigated conflict may be another strategic defeat like Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. But Ukrainian conflict may be one with far longer lasting damage to US.
End
Today in Kiev during the unannounced trip to the city by the new British Defence Secretary and chief of the Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin. MI6 senior officials delivered Zelensky a dossier on Russian actions coming over the next year. Within the document, an horrifying reality was dawning. Ukraine will no longer exist by 2025 if Zelensky does not sign a peace treaty and surrender Donbass and all claims to Crimea in exchange for total NATO protections and basing west of the Dnieper. The Russian military intends to attack five new regions early in 2024 with the intent to take everything east of the Dnieper, besiege Odessa and Kiev and force a total unconditional surrender of the Ukrainian state using upwards of one million personnel. Currently 810,000 soldiers are now active in the Russian army, prior to the war it was 220,000. Only 300,000 are in the Ukraine. The rest remain in training or refitting for operations.
Within the document best estimation of plans for an "Operation:Trident" were seen showing a air campaign involving 1100 aircraft to pound the Ukrainian state in conjunction with launching the ground "re-invasion". Preceding this will be a deadly large scale missile campaign in winter to wipe out the Ukrainian energy grid permanently. Russia has stockpiled several thousand missiles and its production is now at war time levels at the central Russian production zones beyond the Urals. Its sole intent is total destruction of the energy grid with overwhelming attacks nationwide.
Zelensky was reportedly stunned by what the MI6 had brought to Kiev and was noticeably upset at the casualty reports that they also brought suggesting Ukraine has taken 860,000 casualties including 417,000 KIA compared to the Russian combined faction casualties of 191,000 of which 63,000 are KIA(including 27,600 Wagner).
