Kiev releases draft agreement on its security guarantee demands

According to the document, among those who took part in its elaboration were Western experts, including former and acting politicians and scientists
MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. The office of the Ukrainian president on Tuesday released a draft document titled: The Kiev Security Compact International Security Guarantees for Ukraine: Recommendations.

The document was presented by the co-chairs of the working group on international security guarantees, Chief of the Presidential Office Andrey Yermak and former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.

According to the document, among those who took part in its elaboration were Western experts, including former and acting politicians and scientists. Despite the earlier proposals, the document provides for neither Kiev’s neutral status nor for Russia’s participation as a security guarantor.

Following are key provisions of the document.

Guarantors​


- It is suggested a binding security document, the Kiev Security Compact, be signed between Ukraine and guarantor nations. An alternative is a set of bilateral agreements.

- The signatories will include the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Canada, Poland, Turkey, France, countries of Northern, Central, Southern Europe, and Baltic states. Russia is not named among possible participants.

"The security guarantees will be positive; they lay out a range of commitments made by a group of guarantors, together with Ukraine. They need to be binding based on bilateral agreements, but brought together under a joint strategic partnership document - called the Kiev Security Compact. The Compact will bring a core group of allied countries together with Ukraine. This could include the US, UK, Canada, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Australia, Turkey, and Nordic, Baltic, Central and Eastern European countries," the document reads.

- The "guarantees framework may be supplemented by additional agreements," for instance, on supplies of air-and missile-defense systems to Ukraine and on regional security in the Black Sea.

- These agreements do not constrain Ukraine’s aspiration to join NATO and the EU.

"Ukraine’s aspiration to join NATO and benefit from its mutual defense arrangements is safeguarded in its Constitution. This aspiration is the sovereign decision of Ukraine. Both NATO and EU membership will significantly bolster Ukraine’s security in the long-term," the document reads.

What Ukraine wants to have​

- Kiev wants a list of military, infrastructure, technical and information measures to be elaborated, with some of them to be taken by other countries immediately in case of an attack on Ukraine by a third country.

"In case of aggression, the joint document should spell out extended guarantee commitments by guarantors to use all elements of their national and collective power and take appropriate measures - which may include diplomatic, economic, and military means - to enable Ukraine to stop the

aggression, restore its sovereignty, ensure its security, military edge, and capability to deter its enemies and defend itself by itself against any threat," the document says.

- Ukraine counts on the allies’ investments into its defense sector, on their weapons and intelligence data.

- Ukraine’s armed forces should take part in EU training missions and joint drills with NATO.

"The strongest security guarantee for Ukraine lies in its capacity to defend itself against an aggressor under the UN Charter’s article 51. To do so, Ukraine needs the resources to maintain a significant defensive force capable of withstanding the Russian Federation’s armed forces and paramilitaries. This requires a multi-decade effort of sustained investment in Ukraine’s defense industrial base, scalable weapons transfers and intelligence support from allies, intensive training missions and joint exercises under the European Union and NATO flags," the document says.

- The agreement should envisage a "set of snapback sanctions" against the "aggressor."

Medvedev describes Kiev’s draft of "security guarantees" as prologue to WW III

The deputy head of Russia’s Security Council believes that the agreement proposed by Kiev is tantamount to "applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact to Ukraine."
MOSCOW, September 13. /TASS/. Kiev will not receive any "security guarantees", in particular, because its draft is essentially a "prologue" to World War III, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev believes.
"The Kiev camarilla has given birth to a project of 'security guarantees', which are essentially a prologue to a third world war. Of course, no one will provide any 'guarantees' to the Ukrainian Nazis," he wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday.
He believes that the agreement proposed by Kiev is tantamount to "applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact to Ukraine." This article refers to collective defense as a principle central to NATO's founding treaty. Collective defense means that an attack on one of the alliance’s members shall be considered as an attack on all members.
Medvedev believes that Russia's arch foes - "Western bosses of various rank" to whom "this hysterical appeal" (Kiev’s draft security compact, made public earlier on Tuesday - TASS) is addressed should understand one thing. "It directly concerns NATO's hybrid war with Russia. If these half-wits go ahead with the rampant pumping of the most dangerous types of weapons to the Kiev regime, then sooner or later the military campaign will achieve another level," he warned.

This campaign, Medvedev stressed, will have no visible borders, while the parties’ actions will turn potentially unpredictable. "The campaign will follow its own military scenario, involving ever more new participants. It has always been this way," Medvedev said.
 
On the whole, yes.
About two hours ago, here started artillery firing again. At first it looked like a few shots were fired from here, but I'm not sure. And then there was some very loud and massive shelling here. I think it's all related to the situation at nuclear power plant in Energodar.
Last night there were 6 series of shots from MLRS in my town and and the surrounding area (for the first 3 series I counted at least 50 exploding shells, a pause of 1-2 minutes and the next series of shots, already 5-7 shells each). Two hours later there were shells again.
And so every night, several times during the night. You just fall asleep and soon wake up to bursts of shells, and during the shelling there are only two thoughts: "where will these shells hit?" and "there are some people left without their homes".
But it happened again this evening, only from howitzers. During the shelling the electricity in our city was cut off for a couple of minutes, after the shelling the water supply was stopped, and we don't know how long it will take. Maybe the pumping station was damaged or some area. There is no water in the whole town.
Please remain safe. I understand your frustration. You are in the middle of it all.
 
From the 1 of September, Ukraine plans to launch mass privatization process. Here is a link.

It is already strated
.

Privatization is to start in Ukraine on September 1. This was announced during a conference call with the heads of regions by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

"The President of Ukraine has set a task to launch privatization in September. The Verkhovna Rada ( Pairlament of Ukraine) has adopted the relevant legislation for this purpose. The Government has developed all by-laws. We have to make this process as fast as possible," Denys Shmyhal said.

And here is another article about privatization and privatization of the hospitals.

The Parliament allowed privatization of state hospitals.
The privatization of historical and cultural reserves of local importance, as well as state medical institutions, including the buildings occupied by these institutions has been allowed in Ukraine. Deputies of Pairlament of Ukraine also simplified the privatization process. The Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the beginning of a massive process of transferring state property into private hands in September. It is obvious that the privatization of state hospitals will be in full swing.

All this became possible due to the adoption of the draft law No. 5397, which amends the law "On privatization of state and municipal property". The deputies voted for the law in the second reading and in general.
This document, in particular, excludes from the second part of the fourth article of the law "On privatization of state and municipal property" the paragraph prohibiting the privatization of state health care institutions, including the premises where state health care institutions are located. Thus, these amendments to the law pave the way for mass privatization of state hospitals and, consequently, for the final commercialization of medicine in Ukraine.

Taking into account this law 4142 was almost adopted, the law about total vactination, and then we have privatization of hospitals in Ukraine.
It looks like you had to be vaccinated, we will make test on you, and then you will have to pay for that.

P.S. By doing so, actually they violate the Constitution of Ukraine, our rights and freedoms. Law by law and law that follows...
 
Medvedev describes Kiev’s draft of "security guarantees" as prologue to WW III

Wow, was going to post just the same. Here goes the whole Medvedev's TG post, translated. It's not the first time when he brings up apocalyptic scenario quoted from the Bible.

The Kiev camarilla has come up with a project of "security guarantees", which are essentially a prologue to World War III. Of course, no one will provide any "guarantees" to the Ukrainian Nazis. After all, it is almost the same as applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact (Washington Pact) to Ukraine. For NATO it is the same 💩, only from aside. That's why it's scary.

Our sworn friends - Western bosses of various calibres, to whom this hysterical appeal is addressed - must finally understand one simple thing. It directly relates to NATO's hybrid warfare with Russia. If these morons continue to unbridledly pump the Kiev regime with dangerous weapons, sooner or later the military campaign will move to another level. It will lose its visible borders and potential predictability for the parties to the conflict. It will follow its own military scenario, involving new actors. This has always been this way.

And then the Western countries will not be able to sit back in their tidy houses and flats, laughing at how they are carefully weakening Russia at the hands of others. Everything will catch fire around them too. Their people will suffer a lot. The ground will literally burn and the concrete will melt. We're going to get hit hard, too. It will be very, very bad for everybody. It is said, "By these three plagues a third of all mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur billowed from their mouths, " (Rev. 9:18).

But meanwhile, short-sighted politicians and their dullards, twisting thoughtfully their wineglass in their hands, speculate about how they will be able to deal with us without engaging in direct warfare. Dull idiots with a classical education.
 
Wow, was going to post just the same. Here goes the whole Medvedev's TG post, translated. It's not the first time when he brings up apocalyptic scenario quoted from the Bible.

Medvedev is kind of like the bad cop, in the good cop, bad cop routine routine.

Putin and Lavrov are more diplomatic. But Medvedev threats certianly have their purpose to remind everyone not to try anything reckless.

The "bad cop" role reminded me of Vladimir Zhirinovsky who died on April 6 this year. He was known for his "prophetic" predictions, the stuff no other official talked about publicly. Medvedev created his public Telegram channel on March 14 when Zhirinovsky was terminally ill after getting 6 or 7 Covid vaccine shots. Interesting coincidence.
 
On the whole, yes.
About two hours ago, here started artillery firing again. At first it looked like a few shots were fired from here, but I'm not sure. And then there was some very loud and massive shelling here. I think it's all related to the situation at nuclear power plant in Energodar.

Lumiere_du_Code, thanks for reporting from your perspective on what is going on in your country. I also was not aware that you have been experiencing shelling and loss of your water. I cannot imagine living in these circumstances and pray for your safety and the well being of the innocent people who are at the mercy of war, living on the edge and not knowing who is friend or foe.
 
I think at this point, we just have to wait and see how it plays out. It also seems to me that Russia might be in the process of upping the game now by possibly declaring the situation a war, which would give them more powers to engage, both legally and militarily speaking. Should it be true that Russia hit those power plants (and thereby cutting off electricity to large parts of the country), it might be part of that strategy, to take off the gloves, making it harder for the enemy and thereby possibly advancing faster in their goals, with more and harder engagement against the Ukrainian/NATO forces.
On TG, there were reports that many cargo planes are flying between Iran and Moscow. I didn't copy the link, but it is possible, as Russia is buying drones, so who knows.

Denmark and the war efforts in Ukraine
Perhaps the following is characteristic of some European countries:
In an interview, the Danish MoD said 130 officers will travel to the UK to train UA soldiers and that there later will come soldiers to be trained in DK. To let the journalist know, that they know what to do, he said:
'Denmark is one of the places where training will take place, and there are other European countries that have also initiated activities with training,' says Morten Bødskov.

He points out that Denmark has 'years of experience in training the Ukrainian defence'.

It happened, for example, in Ukraine from 2015 until the Russian invasion on 24 February.


Denmark has also offered Ukraine that the Danish Home Guard can train and develop a Ukrainian Home Guard. There is still dialogue about this, it says.
Regarding Danish officers training soldiers in Ukraine, that is also what was heard from a POW captured and interviewed in Mariupol. The soldier also mentioned UK and one more country. The article continued to speak of the efforts to raise money, which of course has been easier than for some beneficial and constructive project like rebuilding some of the countries already bombed by these philanthropic nations.
During Morten Bødskov's visit to Kyiv, he also met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyj.

On 11 August, Denmark co-hosted a donor conference in Copenhagen. Here, a number of countries agreed to support Ukraine in the war against Russia with over 11 billion Danish kroner. [1.47 billion USD/EUR]

It is against the background of the donor conference that Bødskov is in Kyiv on Tuesday, where a follow-up conference was held with virtual participation from a number of countries.
So not only did they organize a charity event for weapons and support, they keep the fundraiser going by renewed contact to the participants, how generous and professional they are. However, Denmark did not help or encourage the implementation of the Minsk agreements, the papers of the country did very rarely if ever voice concern regarding the irregularities around Maidan, Odessa Trade Union House fire, Donbass, bioweapon finds, or recent ZNPP shelling. The politicians of the country with one exception have either supported or not opposed the sanctions policies. And as if to instil the proper in support of the Ukrainian national cause, the law permitting the use of the Ukrainian flag along with the Danish at public buildings has been prolonged until the end of the year.

Next there was in the post by @Deliverance:
The document was presented by the co-chairs of the working group on international security guarantees, Chief of the Presidential Office Andrey Yermak and former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The last person was a former Danish PM who after retiring from NATO became advisor to the president of Ukraine. It does not seem to me that the former PM is alone in his support of a "shrewd" plan like the one proposed. He represents what many in Denmark, including commentators, if asked would think is a great idea, but for how long? Probably not forever, if Dmitry Medvedev is correct.

Lessons from the Bible with Dmitry Medvedev
It could be the title of a YouTube channel, but it isn't, however:
It's not the first time when he brings up apocalyptic scenario quoted from the Bible.
This was referring to the recent TG statement:
"And then the Western countries will not be able to sit back in their tidy houses and flats, laughing at how they are carefully weakening Russia at the hands of others. Everything will catch fire around them too. Their people will suffer a lot. The ground will literally burn and the concrete will melt. We're going to get hit hard, too. It will be very, very bad for everybody. It is said, "By these three plagues a third of all mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur billowed from their mouths, " (Rev. 9:18)."
In a video from the end of August, Medvedev referred to Rev 8:7

If we take them in sequence, then the Bible lessons from Dmitry Medvedev proceed step by step, a verse at a time. For fuller context, Rev. 8:7 reads: in Zondervan AMP
7 The first [angel] sounded [his trumpet], and there was [a storm of] hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. [ Ex 9:13–35 ] ‡
While Rev. 9:18 has:
18 A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues—by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone that came from the mouths of the horses.
Medvedev speaks, as if he is aware he is living through a transition phase, even if his interpretation turns out to be a little off. What he says certainly is a trumpet-call for attention.

Medvedev: Total surrender of the Kiev regime on the terms of Russia. This is a warning from September 12.
A certain Zelensky said that he would not conduct a dialogue with those who put forward ultimatums. The current "ultimatums" are a children's warm–up before the demands of the future. And he knows them: the total surrender of the Kiev regime on the terms of Russia.
I can't imagine how the total surrender will happen without the defeat of NATO or its dissolution or serious weakening. Requiring total surrender is not exactly a stepping down compared to what others have been thinking after recent events. If now Russia had great relations with Europe the above statement could become modified, and diplomats probably will, but here is more from September 7, which shows where EU-RU relations are situated: The message below covers the EU before Brexit.
About two international news
1. Changing of the guard in Britain: the freak-uncle left, the freak-aunt came.

The new prime minister: a) an incompetent and mediocre thermonuclear Russophobe who does not have elementary ideas about politics, history, geography, but wants to defeat Russia in everything; b) mows under Margaret Thatcher, not having her abilities even by 5 percent; c) expects to overcome the energy crisis and food inflation, which became a consequence of her own delusional sanctions exercises. She will quarrel with everyone, fail everything and leave in disgrace, like her predecessor, the shaggy Boriska. Well, in Britain, famous for its traditions, it seems there is another one.

2. A man with a sad face by the name of Borrel said that Russia is a fascist state.

I would not go back to this disgusting statement of the narrow-minded EU commissioner, but I have to specifically emphasize that such things should never be forgotten by anyone. This official should be permanently included in the lists of non-charitable beings without the right of pardon.
Borrel and the EU elite are getting to the level of the current UA government.

Ukraine leads the way:
And here is another article about privatization and privatization of the hospitals.
The fate of Ukraine in terms of widespread privatization will probably come to pass also among the EU warmongers as the horsemen of the apocalypse show up, and the angels sound their trumpets. When the EURO loses value, the Government will have to change their spending plans and might end up on par with what are currently poor countries:
Notice the above are averages; there are many people who earn much, much less.
 
Children are important for the UN except...
From МИД России 🇷🇺
⚡️ Comment (Комментарий в связи с отсутствием реакции со стороны ЮНИСЕФ на противоправную деятельность украинского сайта «Миротворец» ) Permanent Missions of Russia to the UN (Постпредство России при ООН ) due to the lack of response from UNICEF to the illegal activities of the Ukrainian website "Peacemaker"

Since October 2021, Russia has repeatedly publicly and through diplomatic channels called on the UN Children's Fund (#UNICEF) to pay attention to the illegal activities of the Ukrainian nationalist website "Peacemaker", which publishes personal data of citizens objectionable to Kiev, including minors. At the moment, the specified resource contains personal information, including home addresses, of at least 327 children, which poses a direct threat to their life and safety.

We call on UNICEF to abandon double standards in the implementation of its mandate to "protect all children, all over the world" and condemn the obvious violations of children's rights in connection with the activities of the Peacemaker website.
From the above it is not far away to the Telegram channels that do a similar job, and therefore also may have a few minors on their list.
"Two majors"
A subscriber has compiled a selection of ukrochannels with personal data of "traitors"

Instructions: click Complain — Personal data — select suitable posts — leave a comment "Publication of personal data for the purpose of violence and repression for political reasons" before sending a complaint.

Friendly channels ask for a repost. This will increase the effectiveness.

Telegram will not block the channels. But the Nazis will be distracted for some time by changing addresses, creating backup groups and the like instead of collecting data on people.
Below the text, there is a list of more than 20 channels that collect personal information about people somebody does not like. Many have several thousand subscribers.
 
The "bad cop" role reminded me of Vladimir Zhirinovsky who died on April 6 this year. He was known for his "prophetic" predictions, the stuff no other official talked about publicly. Medvedev created his public Telegram channel on March 14 when Zhirinovsky was terminally ill after getting 6 or 7 Covid vaccine shots. Interesting coincidence.
It is kind of jaw dropping to read this from wiki,

Illness and death


In February 2022, Zhirinovsky was hospitalized in critical condition in Moscow with COVID-19.[118][119] In March, he was reportedly placed in a medically induced coma,[120] and underwent treatment for COVID-19 complications such as sepsis and respiratory failure.[121][122] Zhirinovsky claimed to have been vaccinated against COVID-19 eight times.
[123]


So when you put the two things together, vaccinated against COVID-19 eight times.... and died (of/with) COVID-19.

Amazing you can say that with a straight face... (If only he had taken a ninth jab...hmm).
 
Latest from Alastair Crook :


Doing ‘Whatever It Takes’ to Keep Europe in ‘Intervention Lockstep’ (paraphrasing Jaroslav Zajiček, Czech Coreper Ambassador)


"...Separately, but as part of the collective West’s financial war on Russia, the G7 finance ministers have agreed to proceed with a plan to cap the price of Russian oil exports. This initiative would not replace G7 countries’, or the EU’s separate embargoes on Russian oil, but would be supplemental

Since over 90% of the world’s ships are insured through London-based insurers like Lloyds of London, U.S. and EU officials expect the initiative to impact Russian energy revenues massively. The cap would be actuated through the “comprehensive prohibition of (insurance) services” that would be permitted only where the cargoes are purchased at, or below a price, that will be set by a “broad coalition of countries”.

This scheme essentially is the brainchild of U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen: “This price cap is one of the most powerful tools we have to fight inflation and protect workers and businesses in the United States and globally from future price spikes caused by global disruptions.”

In Yellen’s vision, the price would be set above the price level that Russia requires to balance its national budget (and thus incentivise Russia to continue to pump oil); yet be below the price required to keep western economies thriving – and low enough deeply to cut into Russia’s oil revenues, thereby weakening its economy, and its war effort.

But it won’t work. Russia can easily replace Western insurance. The two main paths are self-insurance (you reserve part of your revenues in a fund to pay claims if needed), and captive insurance (you set up your own insurance companies with participation by affected parties). Shakespeare actually described it in The Merchant of Venice in 1598.

Simply put, Russia can easily get insurance on other markets not participating in the boycott including Dubai, India, and China – along with Russia itself. So, insurance will not serve as an effective weapon against Russia, and the price cap will fail.

In essence, Russia has both effectively won the military war in Ukraine, and the global financial sanctions war (though both are far from over). The longer the denial continues, the more Europe will be hurt economically. That is obvious; and also obvious is that it will be ugly this winter in Europe"

"....In any event, the EU is built as a steamroller steadily crushing flat the path towards more central control; more news management; more citizen surveillance. The acquis, the ECJ, and the bureaucracy simply grind forwards in unstoppable momentum: Reverse gear was never included. In fact, the architecture has almost no provision for reversal, except by invoking Article 50 – quitting the Union, and that intentionally has been made unbearably painful.

So, expect the EU leaders dogmatically to persist with transforming the EU into a Soviet-style command economy. And even to seek more powers, the more the economy weakens. The EU is sanguine that public protests can, and will be, repressed forcibly (possibly with the army on the streets). Protests have begun. However, it is only September, and the haze of summer still lingers on … winter beckons, yet somehow seems a distance away.

What is certain is that with the EU massively supporting demand through widespread bailouts – at a time of already reduced supply and aggravated by command economy type disruptions and shortages – higher inflation is coming, and the Euro will be ‘toast’.

Is there a way out? Perhaps a figure will arise, taking all by surprise. Maybe the Euro crashing and the U.S. November midterm election outcomes will be the catalyst that will allow such a figure to arise and articulate a vision that seems to offer some solution. The solution, after all, is pretty obvious. But first, comes the pain."
West really is lost in time and space. What is described is like going to the store and pay for the merchandise the amount you find suitable and not what the merchandist really cost. Total nonsense.
 
So, by now... Ukie forces can only successfully break through only to where the allies retreated from.

Now RU forces regrouped and stand stronger in a defensive positions. In about 3 weeks, all the leaves have fallen from the bushes and trees, preventing the Ukie forces from hiding in them. I think It's going to be a massacre.
 
Alexander Kots, a military correspondent of the Russian Ministry of Defense, writes:

These are photos of Kharkov CHPP-5. This is how all CHPPs in Ukraine should be. Together with traction stations and bridges.


/ From myself: the opinion of a military correspondent from the Defense Ministry (he is not the only one, and they have been demanding this since the beginning of the war). And they don't care that the entire population will be left without electricity, water, food, hospitals will not work during the cold season (how long and what area will the generators last, and how much air will they poison with their gasoline exhausts?). After all, the entire population of Ukraine is a Nazi, so let them die. This kind of rhetoric is not fascism at all. Only Ukrainians are fascist. But when Russians call for Ukraine to be turned back to the Stone Age and destroyed, that's not fascism.


Well, to start an operation right from the heart of the UaReich and to end all this bloodshed and chaos with a single hit is too inhumane... Towards the political and oligarchic elites. And it's dangerous to quarrel with London and Washington over such nonsense (like the Nazi regime). And there is no way back anyway, and this is a confrontation between NATO and Russia. /

Today we can already draw a neat conclusion regarding the strikes on critical infrastructure that were carried out by the Russian Armed Forces.
These strikes were carried out for a "PR" purpose, if such a definition applies to missile strikes.
In essence, so that the next two days on all federal channels could sound triumphant speeches about "a completely different war", "the Stone Age" and "the reasonable abandonment of the policy of humanity and white gloves".
This was necessary in order to try to drown out the signal of failure on the front as much as possible.
I do not know how much they succeeded in "drowning out and interrupting" it, but part of Russian society began to repeat the mantra about the "Stone Age".
However, it did not last long.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, along with the entire Office of the President and the command of the AFU, visited Izyum, which was abandoned by the Russian Armed Forces last week.
For the editors of our Telegram channel, as well as for the majority of the population of our country, it is extremely strange that the military and political leadership of a country that is threatening to destroy the Russian Federation would freely come to a city that is in the direct hit zone of Russian operational and tactical systems and multiple rocket launchers.
That this is not taken into account by the relevant services and structures.
That it is in principle possible in this world.

Early in the morning, Ukrainian troops struck a college in Perevalsk on LPR territory. According to preliminary information, the Ukrainian armed forces fired six HIMARS missiles at the college.
The institution was an orphanage for orphans. One 15-year-old was killed and four more were wounded. The building was almost completely destroyed.
A total of 4 deaths were reported as of the first half of the day.
Ukrainian commanders repeatedly used U.S. HIMARS systems to strike civilian infrastructure where there was no allied force presence. In particular, in August, the AFU fired a salvo at a residential nine-story building in Pervomaisk.
And either Ukrainian formations have a surplus of guided missiles, or they began to be indifferent to target selection, wasting expensive high-precision American ammunition on militarily useless targets.
 
Lumière du Code, prenez soin de vous, vous êtes dans mes penses et prières si vous acceptez...

Light of the Code, take care of yourself, you are in my thoughts, and prayers if you accept...

I am very grateful to everyone here for the support and sympathy. Thank you.

Can you relocate to Crimea or somewhere where it's more safe?

As far as I know, Ukraine does not allow people to enter "temporarily occupied by Russians territories". Until recently, refugees who left the Zaporizhzhya region after the war began, began to return through the only one checkpoint on the front line between Ukrainian and Russian forces. But this could only be done by locals who had a residence registration in the region. But even so, soldiers on the Ukrainian side at the checkpoint demanded huge bribes from each person to let them through. Vehicle traffic stretched for many kilometers.

From my region there are only two ways to the south: through Zaporozhye (which has one entrance through the hydroelectric dam, and there is a military checkpoint, which also has problems for civilians) and through Nikopol (in the opposite direction) bypassing the Kakhovka reservoir, heading towards the Kherson region. On the very border of Dnepropetrovsk and Kherson rigions there is a "gray zone" with military actions. I very much doubt that Ukrainian troops will let people through "to the Russian occupiers," to they enemy. Especially men of conscription age. I do not even have a military ID card (I was not given one when they had a mix-up with personal files at the Military recruitment office). I do not have permission from them to travel between regions of the country (yes, this is required here). In other words, at the first inspection (and there are checkpoints in front of every entrance/exit point in all populated areas), they will write me a "lucky ticket" to the front. As a result, I will not come to a safe place, but to the ranks of the AFU.
Another problem is that I don't own a car (and I didn't even get a driver's license, as it happens), and how else would I go to the regions controlled by the Russian armed forces? There is no public transportation, buses, or trains. It means to walk hundreds of kilometers.
And that means that I will have to leave my home and relatives without any belongings, money, or anything else for a long period of time (probably several years). I won't be able to lug my suitcases and backpacks of clothes with me (and there will be cold weather soon). But even assuming that I got out to Kherson, for example, where would I live there and for what money?

Those who lived near the Russian or Belarusian border at the very beginning of the war were lucky (however that may sound in the current environment): they had an opportunity to escape from the war and Ukrainian repression unhindered when turmoil broke out and border guards abandoned checkpoints. But such people were not many compared to the rest of the population.
