Ukraine Takes REVENGE… Russian "War Criminal" Brigade ERADICATED!​

Ukraine’s intelligence network has pulled off one of its boldest operations yet, striking deep inside Russian territory to deliver retribution against notorious forces. This daring mission, carried out thousands of miles from Ukraine, targeted those accused of brutal crimes. The scale, precision, and secrecy of the attack highlight how far Ukraine’s reach has grown.

The 155th Marine Brigade - Ukrainian HUR Special Forces operatives set out explosions that decimated the war criminals in the 155th unit car park. An unnamed source believes the hit was a real success and obituaries should be in the media soon. That authories have admitted the explosions took place indicates that they were fairly massive and impossible ti brush under the covers.

For those Russian war criminals on the hit list, Ukraine apologises for the delay in reaching you, but will be with you as soon as possible.

Putin's Assault on Pokrovsk Fizzling Out.....

Pokrovsk remains firmly in Ukrainian hands despite Russia’s massive summer offensive. Vladimir Putin sent 110,000 soldiers in an effort to encircle and capture the city, but the plan unraveled. By September 16, reports from Euromaidan Press and the Institute for the Study of War confirmed that Russia’s campaign has devolved into disorganized small-scale assaults. Ukraine’s counteroffensives have reclaimed ground in Udachne and Myrnohrad, while Russian forces have been reduced to using civilian vehicles and even sewer systems in desperate infiltration attempts.

The cost has been staggering. According to Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, August alone saw Russia lose 28,790 soldiers, while Ukraine retook 58 square kilometers of territory. By the end of the summer, Russia’s territorial gains had declined by 18% compared to July, and over 210,000 Russian troops have been lost with no strategic progress. Pokrovsk stands as a symbol of Moscow’s failed offensive.

Russia had complete air superiority - here's why it FAILED​

When Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine, his forces were expected to topple Kyiv with ease - not to spectacularly fail.

In the latest edition of Battle Plans exposed, Nato planner Philip Ingram picks apart Russia's flawed aerial strategies and outdated manoeuvres.

Taking a deep dive into the beginnings of the war, Ingram explains how the world expected a "blitzkrieg from the havens" on Ukraine when the invasion broke out.

But after Russia bungled the "battle for the skies" many began to wonder how they dropped the ball despite having such an overwhelming advantage.

Ingram says: "Russia's airforce, the VKS, was seen as a modern behemoth, second only to the United States."

"The script was written: 'Total Russian air supremacy in 48 hours.' But that script was torn to shreds."

The military analyst explains how Russia's combat doctrine and aged technology led to them fumbling the aerial battle for Ukraine.

Combing through battlefield footage, he shows instances of Ukrainian drones taking out Russian air defence systems.

Ingram also takes a look at Russian glide bombs attacking Ukrainian positions as part of the brutal air battle.

Russia (and the Soviet Union before) are/were paranoid beyond all belief. Their Air Force was virtually all 'interceptor' based designs. Yeah, they paid lip service to air-to-ground support but just that, lip service. So yeah they had air superiority, and frankly still do, but it is an air-to-air configuration and not quite up to the task before them. ie. taking out Ukraine's air defense systems to they can support ground offenses and execute deep penetration tactical strikes.

Pretty disappointing, huh Vlad?

Russia had a different strategic concept for the air force as well - it was focused on support for the army and not on air superiority as conceived by the USAF/RAF., as well as interceptors to protect the Russian interior from deep strikes. They've managed that more or less, against aircraft anyhow and they started with effective (sort of) groun support but as the Ukraine air force has gained in strength and equipment they're failing there.....

If they took NATO on it'd be Iran all over again.

And that is the tightrope that Trump is trying to walk.

Let's start with a very basic premise, Vlad is mad. It seems he's exceeded his mental expired by date.

Now, as I see it Trump is playing a 'let's make a deal' game with Vlad while allowing the Ukraine to economically destroy Russia using US intelligence info. Do you really think that all that targeting data is coming from Ukrainian satellites?

This is a knifes edge game being played and the level of Putin's desperation is shown by the drones in Poland. Put yourself in the mind of a mad man. Was that an attempt to force NATO to over react so he would be able to rationalize using nukes?

I'm more inclined to think it's an attempt to spook NATO into keeping more air defense systems for themselves and reduce the number bening sent to Ukraine. I suspect what WILL happen is the EU will simply produce MORE air defense systems for themselves AND Ukraine.

I doubt we will see nukes used.

Ukraine STRIKES from the SHADOWS… Russian Snake DECAPITATED​

ATESH has paralyzed a key railway junction near Yekaterinburg, severely impacting Russia's military logistics

Ukraine’s partisans are striking deep inside Russia, targeting its vast railway network and exposing a critical weakness in Moscow’s war machine. From sabotage near Yekaterinburg to other bold operations, these attacks disrupt supplies, delay reinforcements, and weaken Russia’s ability to sustain its front lines. This is a closer look at how Ukraine’s underground fighters are challenging Putin’s logistics and forcing Russia to confront a new kind of warfare.

BANKING COLLAPSE IN RUSSIA: MASS CASH WITHDRAWALS CONTINUE ​

Medvedev announces that russia`s 2026 budget will be military, and millions of russians, understanding that the money will come from their pockers, immediately withdrew billions from banks, trying to save their money before the Kremlin collapses the banking system and the economy.

GDP has been collapsing undert the pressure of the war budgets to support the day "special military operation" in its 5th year - now longer than WW2 for Russia (1941-45 for Russia)
2026 will be another military budget for Russia - and a reminder that the entire Russian budget is about the equivalent of the State of Texas

Ukraine and ATESH partisans inside Russia SABOTAGE Rail System and Shut Down Russia’s Fuel​

Russia’s war machine is now facing a crisis it cannot hide: fuel shortages spreading from Moscow to twenty regions. What began with one sabotage strike in the Urals has turned into nationwide collapse. Ukrainian-aligned partisans hit a rail relay near Yekaterinburg, stalling shipments of crude oil, ammunition, and critical spare parts. That single act slowed Russia’s central supply spine, proving that one broken link in the logistics chain can cripple the entire system. From rail delays to refinery backlogs, every missed delivery has turned into bottlenecks at depots, overflowing tanks, and choking oil terminals.

Ukrainian drones then hit refineries directly, cutting processing by almost 20 percent. Facilities like Kirishi and the Primorsk hub have been damaged, forcing tankers to leave part-loaded and raising global shipping insurance costs. The result is an oil economy under assault, weakened faster by drones than by years of sanctions. On the street, Russians are waiting in line as gas stations run dry, with AI-92 gasoline setting new price records on the St. Petersburg Exchange. Scarcity at the pump now means black markets, rationing, and supply disruptions that spill into food and medicine.

Behind the scenes, Putin’s war budget drains civilian services to keep the military afloat, while corruption and theft guarantee that every ruble spent buys less real power. Russia’s defense industry is cannibalizing itself, airlines are stripped for parts, and propaganda bluster about nuclear threats only masks a broken economy. This video exposes how sabotage, drone strikes, and systemic corruption are tearing apart Russia’s war machine from within.

Another One - it's not a soft landing, it's catastrophic....and they know they're screwed

official inflation is 8% - unofficially, probably about 12%

30-50% of revenues have gone from Russian businesses
The oligarchs have written to Putin saying an end to the war is needed
Trump Admin has approved two aid packages funded by NATO - this is good news for Ukraine

Ok soft landing for their economy or the guy the FSB is going to escort out of the 8th floor window? Just curious

ZELENSKY and METSOLA spoke urgently to Ukrainians​

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Wednesday that the country has received over two billion dollars through NATO’s new support program. Speaking at a joint news conference in Kyiv with EU President Roberta Metsola, Zelenskyy added that Ukraine is expected to receive additional funds in October to help sustain the country as the war continues.

The economy for sure is going out the window

Putin? I still think he'll eat a lead pill. Optimal would be doing the Ceaucescu Dance

Those kinds of strikes don’t do much visual damage, but they sure: occupy a fuckton of Russia’s attention; disrupt deliveries of critical supplies to the front, and cause chaos & social unrest inside Russia as the authorities roust / hassle innocent Russian civilians in their search for Ukrainian partisans.

Between those kinds of partisan attacks and the Ukrainian drone strikes on oil production, etc, inside of Russia, the Ukrainians are occupying / delaying / eliminating the human & material resources for the front lines AND for the defense of CRIMEA.

I also see a quasi-combined arms strategy being employed by the Ukrainians that is unconventional in its implementation: The Ukrainians are primarily using ground troops and mechanized artillery, etc on the Russian facing fronts, while primarily using aerial assets to deal with Crimea (Sea drones can’t be forgotten when it comes to the military assets contributing to the liberation of Crimea). Very smart.

Crimea is still the lynchpin of the conflict (imho), and a Russian evacuation from the peninsula will be the harbinger of the end of the war (again, imho).



Slava Ukraini!!!

‘There Will Be No Offensive’ – 18 senior Russian Officers Killed in Zaporizhzhia Sabotage

Eighteen officers of Russia’s 35th Army died after sabotage set fire to their Zaporizhzhia command post. “Now there will be no offensive,” wrote Ukrainian official Andryushchenko.

Eighteen operational officers of Russia’s 35th Combined Arms Army headquarters were killed in a sabotage incident in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to the Unified Center for Surrender Appeals “I Want to Live” [Я хочу жить]. The sabotage took place on Aug. 30 near the village of Voskresenka but was reported publicly on Sept. 18. “Unknown well-wishers set fire to dry grass near the command post of the 35th Army,” the Telegram post read. The blaze spread rapidly into the command post’s rooms and dugouts. Smoke and carbon monoxide filled the underground positions, leaving the officers trapped without escape.

The following Russian war criminals were confirmed dead:

Ilya Makhotin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Missile Troops and Artillery Department, b. Feb. 25, 1980
Col. Ruslan Shigabutdinov, Chief of General Operational Planning, b. Oct. 25, 1990
Col. Dmitry Pashabekov, Chief of Fire and Nuclear Destruction Planning, b. July 19, 1977
Rustam Setdarov, Senior Officer for Mathematical Modeling, b. Dec. 2, 1989
Vladimir Sulitsky, Officer of Fire and Nuclear Destruction Planning, b. Feb. 20, 1988
Andrei Silin, Chief of Topographic Service, b. Feb. 20, 1988
Aleksandr Nitayev, Chief of Technical Information Protection, b. Dec. 25, 1984
Aleksey Koltsov, Deputy Chief of Electronic Warfare Service, b. Feb. 28, 1988
Aleksandr Dmukha, Engineering Troops Operations Officer, b. Feb. 20, 1979
Vladislav Panin, Electronic Warfare Officer, b. Jan. 23, 1996
Andrei Bogdanov, Air Defense Officer, b. Feb. 20, 1988
Lt. Ilya Sivukhin, Artillery Intelligence Officer, b. May 7, 1998
Vadim Yakovets, Head of Radio Group, 714th Recon Center, b. May 7, 1984

The bodies of five more could not be evacuated:

Col. Sergei Konoiko, Deputy Chief of Intelligence, b. June 30, 1978
Vladimir Filimonikhin, Assistant to Operational Duty Officer, b. Apr. 25, 1984
Lt. Alexey Khorin, Engineering Troops Officer, b. Oct. 28, 1993
Semyon Ponomarev, Chief of Information Collection Group, 714th KRC, b. Aug. 14, 1997
Yuriy Fokin, Orlan-10 UAV Crew Operator, 64th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, b. Feb. 6, 1990
On Sept. 1, Petro Andryushchenko, former advisor to the exiled mayor of Mariupol and head of the Center for the Study of the Occupation, reported that the operation was carried out jointly by Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) and the Mariupol Resistance.

He wrote on Telegram: “Seventeen officers and one private were killed. The officers were leading an offensive in one of the Zaporizhzhia sectors. Now there will be no offensive.”

The HUR has not officially confirmed its involvement. The deaths of the war criminals came as Russia concentrated forces for renewed offensives in Zaporizhzhia. On Aug. 18, Ukraine’s Armed Forces (AFU) Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky said Russia had redeployed troops from the Sumy region. On Aug. 22, Southern Defense Forces spokesperson Vladyslav Voloshyn confirmed the Russian regrouping.

However, in September, reports indicated that Russia’s summer campaign in Zaporizhzhia had largely failed. In early September, Syrsky reported that Russian forces currently hold a threefold advantage in manpower and equipment, which in some areas rises to four to six times. He said that in August, Russia had planned large-scale offensives in the Zaporizhzhia sector, but Ukraine’s Defense Forces thwarted those efforts. As a result, Russian troops were forced to delay their push in Zaporizhzhia and redeploy marine units to Donetsk. “In fact, the month when the Russian military made maximum efforts to break through became a month of relatively small territorial gains,” Syrsky said.

According to him, Ukrainian troops regained 58 square kilometers (22.4 square miles) and liberated several settlements in August, while holding firm in the Hulyaipole and Prydniprovske sectors. On Thursday, Voloshyn stated that Russian forces were attempting to capture the villages of Kamyanske and Plavni to continue their offensive toward Prydniprovske and advance to the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia.
