"If detonation of warehouses and destruction of nuclear power plants occur at Ukrainian nuclear power plants, it is planned to blame Moscow - Foreign Intelligence Service"

"The Foreign Intelligence Service reported that only in the last week of last year, several railway wagons of the “deadly cargo” were delivered to the Rivne NPP. In the event that a large-scale detonation occurs at Ukrainian nuclear power plants, Kyiv plans to put the blame on Moscow."

“The calculation is based on the fact that the Russian Armed Forces, realizing the danger of a nuclear catastrophe, will not strike at the territories of nuclear power plants. If a large-scale detonation of warehouses and the destruction of a nuclear power plant happen due to the fault of another “stray” Ukrainian air defense missile, then the blame for the tragedy can always be attributed to Moscow,” the Foreign Intelligence Service noted."

This is not the first time we are seeing this. Pretty much all western weaponry made it there this particular way.

Whenever the statement reads "ongoing discussions" it may be safely assumed the deed has been done. You have to keep wondering if there is even anyone left who still believes the narrative?

GERMAN GENERAL KUJAT WARNS THE UKRAINE WAR IS LOST, REVIVES THE STAB-IN-THE-BACK CHARGE AGAINST THE US AND NATO FOR “EXPOSING GERMANY TO RUSSIA”​

"A fresh German general has issued a public warning that the war on the Ukrainian battlefield by the US and NATO armies is lost, and that Germany will be lost next if the advance of the Russian forces toward Kiev and Lvov isn’t halted quickly by an armistice, partition and demilitarization of the Ukraine, and time to rebuild the German army."

"Retired Major General Harald Kujat — son of a Wehrmacht soldier killed fighting the Red Army who grew up to become chief of the German army and then of the NATO military staffs — is the author of a military assessment in which he blames the German press, ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel, British prime minister Boris Johnson (lead image, right centre), and other NATO allies he doesn’t name for a new German version of the stab in the back (lead image, left)."

"In this scheme, according to Kujat, the NATO allies have aimed at sabotaging Germany’s power in Europe."

"He follows Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach, head of the German Navy, who was forced to resign in January 2022, after a public speech in which he said that “the Crimea Peninsula is gone: It will never come back — this is a fact”; and that Russian security concerns should be addressed with “respect”.

It's too bad VZ is not on the list. It would be quite the "scandal" if people were to wake up and truly smell him! (I'm sure he does not smell like a rose).

He should learn a few lessons from JT. Create a commission to investigate himself and his own government of any wrongdoing!

Zelenskiy ally threatens jailings after high-profile corruption claims

Zelenskiy ally threatens jailings after high-profile corruption claims​

Story by By Tom Balmforth and Olena Harmash • 6h ago

Ukraine Recovery Conference in Lugano© Thomson Reuters
KYIV (Reuters) - A top ally of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday corrupt officials would be rounded up and jailed as part of a zero tolerance policy, after the most high-profile graft allegations since Russia invaded burst into public view.
Ukraine has a long history of battling corruption and shaky governance, though there had been few examples since Moscow's invasion last year as Kyiv has fought back Russian troops and received Western financial and military support.
On Sunday, anti-corruption police said they had detained the deputy infrastructure minister on suspicion of receiving a $400,000 kickback to facilitate the import of generators into wartime Ukraine last September.
Separately, a newspaper investigation published on Saturday accused the Defence Ministry of overpaying suppliers for food for its soldiers. The ministry said the report contained "signs of deliberate manipulation" and was "misleading".

David Arakhamia, head of Zelenskiy's Servant of the People party, said it was made clear during the invasion that officials should "focus on the war, help victims, cut bureaucracy and stop dubious business".

"Many of them got the message. But many of them did not unfortunately. We're definitely going to be jailing actively this spring. If the humane approach doesn't work, we'll do it in line with martial law," he said.
Before last year's invasion, fighting corruption was the principal theme for Zelenskiy, a political novice swept into power in a landslide in 2019 on a promise to clean up Ukraine's notoriously crooked institutions. In his nightly video address, Zelenskiy said measures would be announced this week.
"I want this to be clear: there will be no return to what used to be in the past, to the way various people close to state institutions or those who spent their entire lives chasing a chair used to live," Zelenskiy said.
Several Ukrainian media outlets have reported that a number of cabinet ministers and senior officials could be sacked imminently as Zelenskiy tries to make the government more effective and streamlined.
Ukraine, whose economy shrank by a third last year, is hugely dependent on Western financial aid and donors such as the International Monetary Fund and EU have repeatedly asked for more transparency and better governance.

Johnstone: Let's Nuke The World Over Who Governs Crimea​

BY TYLER DURDEN
MONDAY, JAN 23, 2023 - 12:00 AM

"The US empire is telling Moscow “I’m the craziest -bad person- around, I’ll keep ramping up the brinkmanship looking you right in the eye and daring you to use nukes,” while telling the rest of the world “I am the voice of sanity that you should all look to for leadership.”

"If you’ve got two people pointing pistols at each other, an exchange of gunfire might be avoided for fear of retaliation. But if one of the gunmen breaks the standoff by walking toward the other holding a knife in his other hand, odds are the other guy pulls the trigger."

"So does everyone else in the world get a vote on whether their lives should be risked in an offensive to control who governs Crimea? Or will the Biden administration just be making that call on behalf of all living creatures?"

All the doomers talking of nuclear war are missing a big part of the picture. If they started with the understanding that there isn't going to be any nuclear war, they'd understand a lot more.

There was a response to the above which contained a video. Here it is

https://twitter.com/x/status/1616933948705370113

It shows one young guy with blood on his head and an older man, both look to be Ukrainian fighters. The man filming also seems to be Ukrainian from the little of his voice that I hear. What is unclear is why he shot them. The translated word we see is "allies", spoken by those that will be shot !!!
Were they shot because they didn't want to fight ???

There is a sequel to this episode. On the video - the assault on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kremennaya area.

After clearing the Ukrainian trench and the surrounding area, the Russian attack aircraft advanced further and started a battle with the retreating enemy. The video allows you to appreciate the realities of almost any clash, where the main movement is literally a couple of the most courageous and enterprising fighters, and the rest of the people act as extras. It's not good or bad - it's reality.

A fighter with a camera passes a lot of hidden soldiers and looks for armor-piercing cartridges for himself ("BaSiki", 5.45x39 BS).

Information also appeared on one of those who were sitting in the trench. He was a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vitaly Milevsky, who had not contacted his relatives since 12/30/2022 and was actively searched for by them. Now, thanks to the video from the helmet camera of our fighter, Vitaly was "found".

Something new for this theater, but in general it is not news at all. What kind of leaders, such and practices.

Unmanned jihad mobiles began to be used in Bakhmut
Mercenaries in Bakhmut began using jihad mobiles loaded with explosives.

The Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries, who continue to keep Bakhmut under their control, began using unmanned jihad mobiles to carry out their attacks. The latter are loaded with tons of explosives and a large number of damaging elements, including fragments of already exploded ammunition, after which they are sent to the positions of the Wagner PMCs.

One of these unmanned jihad mobiles was demonstrated by mercenaries from the Caucasus, fighting on the side of Ukraine. In the photos presented, you can see that the truck is loaded with various kinds of ammunition, including anti-tank mines, MLRS shells, detonating cord, etc. There are also striking elements that, when detonated, can fly apart, taking into account the explosives used, at a distance of up to half a kilometer, which makes such weapons very dangerous.

The jihad mobile itself is equipped with temporary protection elements that allow the vehicle to reach the point of detonation, while the jihad mobile is controlled remotely.

At the moment, reliable facts of the use of such jihad mobiles have not yet been demonstrated, however, according to the AFU, they are actively used.

The leopards let's go . Which is to be expected.

Poland sent Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine
The first evidence of the dispatch of Polish Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine has appeared.

Polish information sources report that the first Leopard 2A4 tanks were sent to Ukraine. These combat vehicles have already been loaded onto railway platforms and sent towards the Ukrainian border, from where, in all likelihood, the latter will get to the places of subsequent deployment on their own, since Ukraine does not have the means capable of transporting tanks weighing about 60 tons.

At the moment, the information that Poland has supplied Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine is confirmed by a photo of a Leopard 2A4 tank on a railway platform. The tank's turret is turned away (conditions of transportation by rail), however, a distinctive sign in the form of the Polish flag can be seen on the armor.

In total, Poland intended to transfer 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, without excluding the supply of more of these combat vehicles in the future, but it is still unknown how many units of this military equipment were transferred in the first batch, provided that the information on this account is reliable.

It is known that initially Poland could not send this armored vehicle to Ukraine due to the lack of coordination of the issue with Germany, however, Berlin announced that they would not create obstacles to Polish supplies.

Польша отправила танки Leopard 2A4 на Украину

The US forced Germany to start supplying Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine
Germany approved the decision to supply Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.

The United States forced Germany to organize the delivery of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. At the moment, the relevant agreements between Berlin and Washington have already been reached, however, Germany will have to decide which tanks and in what quantity will be provided to Kiev. Information on this matter was announced by the representative of the State Department Ned Price.

At the moment, it is known that during the negotiations between the two countries, a fundamental decision was reached on the supply of German tanks to Ukraine. Details on this will be announced within the next week, however, deliveries can be arranged only in a few months.

"In the coming days, we can expect news from Germany on tanks for Ukraine," State Department spokesman Ned Price said.

Exactly how the United States managed to put pressure on Germany is still unknown, however, experts do not rule out that in exchange for tanks, Berlin may receive American weapons, in particular, it is known that Germany needs to replace its Panavia Tornado fighters.

США заставили Германию начать поставку танков Leopard 2 на Украину

And now about the rockets

Germany announced the delivery of American GLSDB missiles to Ukraine for HIMARS systems
Germany announced the transfer of missiles to Ukraine for HIMARS, "capable of hitting the Crimea."

The information that the latest package of arms supplies to Ukraine included corrected GLSDB ammunition, which can be used in conjunction with HIMARS and MLRS systems, and allow strikes at distances of about 150-170 kilometers, has received some confirmation in Germany. Officially, the United States did not report on the supply of such weapons, noting, however, that some improved ammunition was transferred to the APU, however, the German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the APU received small-sized planning bombs from the United States capable of hitting targets in the Crimea, while GLSDB ammunition stands for "Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb" or "Small diameter ground-based bombs".

"The United States supplied weapons on a much larger scale than Germany and other European allies. Among them are new types of mini-bombs that can be used with a longer range and can hit, for example, Russian warehouses in the Crimea. Therefore, there is no absolute parallelism of supplies," the German edition of Süddeutsche Zeitung reports.

There is no direct indication that we are talking about GLSDB ammunition, however, earlier Avia journalists.missile defense has already reported that the supply of these weapons to Ukraine has already taken place, but in very small quantities.

В Германии заявили о поставке Украине американских ракет GLSDB для систем HIMARS

That's really a bloody clown. Although they're all like that there. Let's remember Zakharchenko, Givi, Motorola, Olesya Buzina and many others, they were all killed by personal attempts before Zelensky.

It became known about Zelensky's request to the CIA about the murder of Prigozhin
Rogov said that Zelensky discussed with the CIA the assassination attempt on the head of the Wagner PMCs Prigozhin

The President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, appealed to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States with a request for the murder of the founder and head of the private military company (PMCs) "Wagner" Yevgeny Prigozhin. This was stated to TASS by the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.

According to him, the attempt on the head of the group was discussed during the visit of CIA Director William Burns to Kiev last week — the relevant discussion became known to the entourage of the Ukrainian leader.

"Prigozhin is effective, his murder is more than logical, taking into account the information component, taking into account how they (the Ukrainian authorities — approx. "Tapes.ru") pump their victories. (...) The most audacious, the most informative person should be killed," concluded the agency interlocutor.

Стало известно о просьбе Зеленского к ЦРУ об убийстве Пригожина

Вот уж действительно кровавый клоун. Хотя они там все такие. Вспомним Захарченко, Гиви, Моторолу, Олеся Бузину и многих других, они все были убиты персональными покушениями до Зеленского.

Russian troops are advancing on Ugledar - battalion commander "Vostok" Khodakovsky

Activation in the Ugledar direction. Our troops were given a strict order - to the west - the order is being executed.
In a number of sectors, the enemy's defense has been crushed, there is a struggle to cover Ugledar. The experience of the battles is taken into account - the command does not see the expediency of taking a settlement on the forehead.
The day before, the enemy activated reconnaissance, trying to get a complete picture of our preparations, but the air defense worked effectively - there are downed drones.
It cannot be said that they did not expect our offensive, but the scanning of the ether still showed significant confusion and disorganization in the ranks of the enemy. True, as we deepened the resistance became more organized.

На Угледарским направлении активизация. Нашим войскам дан жёсткий приказ - на запад, - приказ исполняется. На ряде участков оборона противника продавлена, идёт борьба за охват Угледара. Опыт боёв учтён - брать в лоб населённый пункт командование целесообразности не видит. Накануне противник...
