Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Meanwhile, quickly in Kyiv this sign was erected so that the public could take selfies of themselves; they really have no idea of what they look like, do they?

Ukraine is a great epitome of the humanity. So close to the horrible end, and so oblivious of it.
 
From an additional RT article.

"Kiev has deployed some 40,000 troops to the border with the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), which recently became part of Russia, the LPR's top representative in Moscow, Rodion Miroshnik, has said."

“In the areas where attempts of a breakthrough are being made [by Kiev's forces], large quantities of manpower and hardware have been concentrated on the Ukrainian side,” Miroshnik said during an appearance on the Soloviev Live program on YouTube on Friday."

"According to estimates by the LPR’s forces, “we’re talking about 40,000 men,” the official added."

"Kiev’s troops have been gathering to the north and northwest of the LPR, as well as in the area around the town of Krasny Liman in the Donetsk People’s Republic, from where Russian forces withdrew a week ago"

Based on what's been made public so far, it looks like a specially-prepared truck with a shaped high-explosive charge under the chassis and dummy cargo to enable it to pass inspection. The unfortunate driver was probably just some guy hired on a contract basis to do a return trip. Assuming some sort of timer wasn't used (or a remotely-triggered timer), it could have been triggered via a standard mobile phone connection.

I don't think there's any need for complicated scenarios like drones, and the premature celebrations by the Ukrainians (who probably didn't expect the bridge to be so resilient) point pretty much directly to the culprits. At this point, I'm not sure why the SBU hasn't been expressly targeted by the Russian military. Any SBU base, personnel, or equipment regardless of where it is in Ukraine should be fair game at this point.

Makes sense to me, baring particular nuances. The drone mention was to rule it out, did not make sense as a primary.

As for the SBU being expressly targeted, the Russians would not be goateed in this way - at this time, they will reserve their actions for this, for Daria and all else at their choosing. Whatever the case, though, someone is going to get their just desert.
 

Vladimir Putin: Alexander Ivanovich, I know that investigators from the Investigative Committee have been working for more than a day to investigate the event that took place early yesterday morning on the Krymsky Bridge. There are already preliminary data from the investigation, and I would ask you to report on the results.

Alexander Bastrykin : Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, our investigative team of the Main Investigation Department, experts, forensic experts, arrived at the scene very promptly. With the participation of explosives specialists, forensic specialists examined the scene in detail, made preliminary reasonable conclusions.

We initiated a case under the second part of Article 205 "Terrorism", and this is confirmed by the data of the initial stage of the investigation. Many witnesses and eyewitnesses have been interrogated, special expert studies have been launched and largely completed - these are explosive, genetic, forensic examinations. Relevant instructions were given to the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to conduct operational-search activities.

We have already established the route of the truck where the explosion occurred - these are Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia, Krasnodar Territory. In addition, carriers have been identified - persons who participated in organizing the movement of this truck. With the help of FSB operatives, it was possible to identify suspects from among those who could prepare a terrorist attack, and people who operate on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In addition, we continue expert research in terms of clarifying the goals and objectives of this undermining. It is definitely terrorist in nature. This is an act of terrorism. All our data from the initial stage of the investigation today allow us to draw an unambiguous conclusion - this is a terrorist attack that was prepared by the Ukrainian special services, and the purpose of this terrorist attack was to destroy a large civilian infrastructure facility, which is very important for the Russian Federation, especially in Crimea.

Vladimir Putin: I understand.

Here, as you just reported, there is no doubt that this is a terrorist attack aimed at destroying the critically important civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation.

Alexei Bastrykin: Quite right.

Vladimir Putin: And the authors, performers, and customers are the secret services of Ukraine.

Alexander Bastrykin: Ukrainian special services and citizens of Russia and foreign countries who helped prepare this terrorist attack.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you.

This is from the video of the meeting I linked above. As IntelSlava put it:

"Not the look I’d want Putin to have while talking about my country"

Tomorrow there is a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, with Putin's participation.
 
Russia the Legal-Beagle

A) They opened a case under Article 205 "Terrorism"

B) The perpetrator has been identified as the Ukrainian Special Servies i.e., the government of Ukraine.

C They concluded that the purpose was to destroy large infrastructure "within" the Russian Federation.

I assume the legal work was done for a reason. I'm not a legal person myself, but I think this is a case that could allow one state to declare war on another. And don't miss that the conclusion listed "Russian Citizens" as accomplices.

Putin calls Crimean Bridge blast Kiev’s attack to destroy Russia’s critical infrastructure​

Ukrainian forces have destroyed almost all bridges and mined the roads along the border with Belarus, Anatoly Lappo, chairman of the State Border Committee of Belarus, said on Sunday. Minsk has accused Kiev of planning imminent strikes on its territory.

"Today, almost all border bridges have been blown up, and automobile and railway border routes are completely mined,” Lappo told Belarusian TV, according to Russia’s Interfax news agency.

Ukrainian forces have fortified the border "to the extent that they put anti-tank mines in three rows on the roads," Lappo said.

The troops Kiev has sent to the border are “not border guards,” Lappo claimed. “We are under pressure, they are aiming at our border guards, sometimes they shoot in the air, constant aerial reconnaissance is being carried out,” he added.

A day before the news broke, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry claimed that its ambassador to Belarus was summoned to the Belarusian Foreign Ministry and handed an official note saying that “Ukraine is planning to conduct a strike on the territory of Belarus.” The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that it “categorically rejects” the accusation, adding that it could be part of a Russian plan to “stage a provocation and further accuse” Kiev.

Earlier this week, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko accused Ukraine of massing tens of thousands of soldiers near the border. While Lukashenko allowed Russian troops to enter Ukraine from its territory at the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine, he said last week that Belarus’ role in the conflict is limited to self-defense and denying Ukraine the ability to “shoot Russians in the back from the territory of Belarus.”

With tensions along the 1,000-kilometer border rising, the Belarusian Defense Ministry stated that it has the capacity to field 500,000 trained troops “if the need arises.”

I don't know what to think about it, is it a new strike on Zaporizhzhia city, or the same as three days ago, allegedly different from the Ukrainian sources? I ask, because searching in English for news in English and selecting "less than 24 hours" as it seems that this missile attack happened this morning, the only one that pops up in English is from Al-Jazeera; All the others occurrences are French. "Of course" from all these sources, Putin/Russia did it:

Deadly Russian missile attack hits Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia city - Al Jazeera


So, maybe there will be more English datas in the next hours, but finding nothing about it in English from English researchs except for Al-Jazeera seems odd to me, at this point.

Local channels report that once again there was a rocket attack on civil apartment building in the city. Not far from the "Ukraine" shopping center. Residents were killed again.

Here is a video of another strike on Zaporizhzhya on October 8. There are only residential buildings and destruction all around. And this is how the Russian media present the information:

A breakdown of the aftermath of yesterday's strike on one of the facilities in Zaporizhzhia.
It is also reported that during [another] strike on the barracks of the 55th Artillery Brigade ("Geran" drones) there were a significant number of "200s" [killed] and "300s" [wounded].

I do not see any mention anywhere in the Russian segment of the media of the defeat of residential buildings, it is simply ignored completely.
 
The couple of days before I saw a mention on one of the Russian channels that the Ukrainian air defense/protection system now shoots down 50-60% of all Russian missiles launched at Ukraine. That is, half of all launches do not reach their targets.

Russia has not destroyed all these supplies of defense and even offensive assets, allowing them to get to the battle lines and cover most of the targets.
