Europe is considering what is being called an Integrated Air Protection Zone, which is basically a no-fly zone, over western Ukraine, including Kyiv. If it happens, it’s great. But I’m not holding my breath.
There is a purge underway in Russia of high-level military and other officials.
/2. On September 29, Major General Valery Golota, head of the National Guard in North Ossetia–Alania, was arrested along with subordinates. On September 29, Oleg Chemezov, deputy governor of Sverdlovsk region, was also taken into custody.
/3. On September 25, Dmitry Rodionov, deputy governor of Vologda region and former Karelia official, was detained. On September 23, businessman and billionaire Alexey Bobrov, was arrested together with his associates.
Russia‘s attack on the city of Dnipro resulted in at least one death and 15 wounded.

Zelensky on the Russian attack in Dnipro: a brazen strike on civilian infrastructure. At least 1 killed and 15 injured so far. He stressed that Europe must build a joint shield against Russian drones and missiles so that no country faces this threat alone.

A Ukrainian fiber-optic drone flies into the opening at the start of a Russian road covered by drone netting.
Hit it again but use something with a bigger warhead. Tver is about halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Ukrainian forces hit a Rosrezerv fuel depot in Bologoye, Tver region. A drone struck an aviation fuel tank at the FGKU “Lokomotiv” site, but the tank held. The area was quickly sealed off while emergency crews worked to cool the reservoirs.

This is an interesting graphic that shows the situation in the West African countries where the Russian military has intervened.
This Russian Scooby van dodged the first few mines but its luck ran out.
Unfortunately the Russians had jumped out of the vehicle before the drone hit.
Unfortunately she was arrested.
Buildings going bavovna.
Another 970 Russians plus four more tanks. That makes 18 tanks in the past three days.
Russia leads the way with a shiny new crematorium that can handle 240 cremations a day.
This Russian has no more fucks to give about the Russians running the war.
And he calls Trump a “fucking slacker” who engages in “debauchery.”
Russia has implemented a unique treatment program for its wounded soldiers.
x
1/ Wounded Russian soldiers have been systematically beaten, extorted, and treated "like convicts" in a military rehabilitation centre in Luhansk. The directors of the facility have recently been arrested, but conditions are still said to be dire for the patients. ⬇️

2/ In 2024, the Urzus Special Purpose Medical Unit (SPMU) of the Volunteer Assault Corps was established in Luhansk to treat Russian soldiers injured in the Ukraine war. It was run by a married couple from Stavropol, Evgeny and Ekaterina Runov, call signs "Shepherd" and "Cat."
3/ The centre was built in less than a year on the site of a former landfill. It houses intensive care, surgical, and trauma departments, as well as medical, dental, and psychological support for soldiers, and has a mosque and Orthodox church on site.
4/ However, not long after it opened, reports of mismanagement, abuse, mistreatment, and even murder began to emerge. Volunteers brought 'humanitarian aid' including medical supplies to the centre, but it was dumped outside and left to rot, or sold for personal profit.
5/ A soldier who was 'treated' at the centre writes:"I was treated at this hospital when that fucking moron [Evgeny Runov] was in charge there. They discharged guys who hadn't been fully treated, who hadn't had operations."
6/ "The commanders of the units whose wounded were being treated would come, bring this faggot a packet [i.e. bribe] and take away the guys who hadn't been fully treated, with open wounds. The guys just didn't get any help.
7/ "Leaving the premises was forbidden, phones were taken away and given back from 7 to 9 in the evening. And even then, not always. Any mistake on the part of those undergoing treatment was fucked up.
8/ "The guards were complete assholes. They beat the guys for any little thing. For answering back rudely, as they saw it. For having a can of energy drink.
It’s been raining in Odesa a lot.
Did Vance get whiplash from his 180 on Ukraine?
This is the same guy who insulted Zelenskyy in the White House for not saying thank you enough.
x
JD Vance: We’re looking to sell Tomahawk missiles to Europe for Kyiv. Key shift — not just US giving weapons, but Europeans buying them, putting skin in the game.
It invests them in defense and peace. Meanwhile, Russia gains little, economy wrecked, people dying for nothing. 1/

It is equally troubling when you find yourself agreeing about something with a war criminal.
Speaking of Girkin, here is his take on how Transnistria is lost.
x
1/ Russia has effectively lost Transnistria following Moldova's recent parliamentary elections, according to Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin. After the defeat of pro-Russian parties, he anticipates that the region will be seized jointly by Moldova and Ukraine. ⬇️

2/ Girkin writes from prison:"The situation in Transnistria has remained tense for three and a half years—ever since our troops failed to break through to Odesa, failed to take Mykolaiv, and especially since our fleet was pushed back to the eastern coast of the Black Sea and trapped in its ports."
3/ "Since then, the Russian Federation has lost the ability to provide Transnistria with real military assistance without the use of nuclear forces.
4/ "This means we have no way to protect our garrison there (peacekeeping forces, several hundred troops), the large number of Russian citizens there (almost the entire population of Transnistria holds Russian citizenship), our military pensioners, or our military depot (filled…
5/ …with obsolete ammunition for Soviet artillery systems, but quite useful in modern warfare).
Will they be given sabers too?
You can send Russians to their deaths in useless assaults and they will go like good sheep. But don’t mess with the booze and the cigarettes.
Let’s check in on the Russian economy with this video interview by the Kyiv Post of a Berkeley economics professor.
Another Patriot system likely headed for Ukraine from Israel.

This morning a Ukrainian Antonov An-124 “Ruslan,” the world’s heaviest cargo plane, landed at Ben Gurion Airport in israel. It loaded an unmarked 40-foot container before taking off back to Europe. Similar containers have reportedly previously been spotted at Israeli Patriot SAM sites.

Your reminder that Viktor Orban is an ass.

Hungarian PM Orban:
"The Russians have won.This war is already decided.The question is when we’ll reach an agreement with the Russians-will it be a US-Russia deal,or will Europeans at last be willing to negotiate and there be European-Russian talks?…
This war cannot be won on the battlefield."

Drunk Dmitry, who has threatened to nuke everybody, says war is not a good thing for Russia.
It’s kind of cute how they think Putin will pay any attention to them.
x
In Moscow, nearly a thousand Russians came to Putin’s reception office to file complaints.
They complained about violations of constitutional rights, fines for searching extremist content, the development of a park, the demolition of architectural monuments, and more.

2nd Army... 3rd World...
After 3.7-years of war, Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) shamans are reduced to spraying assault-Ladas with holy water. I wonder if the ROC preaches from the Old Testament:
2 Samuel 1:27 -- "How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”

Denmark calls up reservists.

DENMARK HAS CALLED UP RESERVISTS
Not quite sure why yet I suspect it’s about the EU summit on 1st-2nd October. France has also sent a drone counter measures group to Denmark.
NATO has radically reinforced its tanker and AWACS surveillance over the Baltic states.

Rest in peace.
Cats in a shelter are terrified by a Russian strike.
Barsik the cat was rescued from a destroyed Kyiv home.
Ukraine redefines beauty.
A Ukrainian student replied to the question "Place where you want to stay forever" with “2021.” He got a 12, which is the highest mark in the school system.
