“Our place should have been there [in eastern Ukraine], not here in someone else’s land,” Pavlo said. “We don’t need these Kursk forests, in which we left so many comrades.”

And despite weeks of reports suggesting that as many as 10,000 North Korean troops have been sent to Kursk to join the Russian counter-offensive, the soldiers we’ve been in contact have yet to encounter them.

“I haven’t seen or heard anything about Koreans, alive or dead,” Vadym responded when we asked about the reports.

The Ukrainian military has released recordings which it says are intercepts of North Korean radio communications.

Soldiers said they had been told to capture at least one North Korean prisoner, preferably with documents.

They spoke of rewards - drones or extra leave - being offered to anyone who successfully captures a North Korean soldier.

“It’s very difficult to find a Korean in the dark Kursk forest,” Pavlo noted sarcastically. “Especially if he’s not here.”

Plenty of unverified talk on a Trump plan but I don't think Trump picked Kellogg because he wants to use the plan Kellogg drew up months ago but rather because Kellogg is 100% loyal to Trump and will push forward an actual Trump plan, whatever that turns out to be.

Trump is supposed to be already talking to the Russians and so must be aware of their basic stance which is from here to just carry on with the conflict and achieve all their core goals militarily.

The US side (Biden and Trump) is slowing coming to realise they don't actually have much to threaten Putin with. NATO warehouses are empty and a new congress in the US are unlikely to vote anymore huge payments to prolong the conflict. The problem is a complete lack of US (and European) public support.

Even NATO troops as a threat is lacking. At a max that would be just 100,000 poorly equipped available now, added to Ukr's 330,000, up against Russia's 700,000 fully equipped and already in Ukraine.

Same as with weapons and equipment production, building up a large new army to match the current Russian army will take NATO at least several years, and same as with weapons and equipment, they haven't even started because they never had any intention of getting their hands dirty.

Ukraine will not last several years.

Ukr and the west are fast running out of options and if the final say continues to be left up to Zelensky then Ukr will be left with nothing, or put another way, nothing will be left of Ukr.

If only he'd stuck to playing the piano with his penis the world today (including Ukr) would be a much better place.

The great conveyer belt transferring wealth from western taxpayers to the stakeholders of the western Military Industrial Complex, via laundering in Ukraine, continues with help from the Biden admin's constant escalation.

But the Ukr shit show has pretty much run it's course (they're finally down to the last Ukr'ian) so the US urgently need a new one. Time to set a match to a few possibilities, stand back and see which ones flare up.

(John Helmer Link) Review of Cold War Parts 1 & 2.

'The United States must abandon its claims to global hegemony and become a normal Great Power. One of the poles in a multipolar world. And in this multipolar system, the parties will combine both rivalry and cooperation in their relations with each other. And in this outcome, along with the second cold war the first one will be completely over.'

A new mass drone attack from Ukr into Rus last night but a noticeable lack of any new ATACMs (US missile) launches into Russia recently.

Might have something to do with Russia finding and taking out 5 launchers with the loss of up to 40 of the US military personal that are needed for inputting the missile's targeting data.

In another radio intercept obtained by intelligence officers, the Russian occupier warns his subordinates about the danger from other invaders who are wandering around the positions in search of narcotic drugs.

“They are looking for drugs. That is, in order to seize the drug, they are shooting their own. Therefore, the issue of protection is under strict control, do not let anyone near you! I say again: not all of us are “ours,” the alarmed invader orders.

The GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds that there will be fair retribution for every war crime committed against Ukraine.

“Did Putin listen to what you said? I’ll watch TV too”

The conversation of local residents of the Belgorod region of Russia intercepted by intelligence agents clearly demonstrates the effect of Kremlin propaganda.

As if zombified, Russians enthusiastically discuss their dictator’s latest threats and are surprised and indignant: “Why are they coming to us, huh?!”.

In the end, in search of an answer, they give an explanation that is no less revealing for the Russian fictional reality - they say, the vile Europeans demanded to colonize Ukraine, and with it Russia.

A vivid example of the results of the destructive influence of Putin’s propaganda - listen to the latest interception.

GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds - for every war crime committed by the occupiers, there will be due and just retribution.

In another conversation intercepted by military intelligence, the Russian describes the latest news from the front of the criminal war against Ukraine.

He says that one of his acquaintances went to “zero”, where he was destroyed by the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine along with his entire occupation unit:

“He disappeared and his company disappeared. In short, the whole company was destroyed. And a week ago they confirmed it.”

He also advises his interlocutor not to criticize the Russian authorities, because for any crooked word on social networks they punish him by sending him to a “meat” assault:

“They send him to the front to the very f*ck, do you understand?”

The GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds that for every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people, there will be due retribution.

The Muscovite invaders are again feeling uncomfortable and sad — Ukrainian strike and reconnaissance unmanned systems “Sych” continue to destroy enemy military targets.

The combat work of the operators of the “Kryla” unit, which is part of the Department of Active Operations of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, continues.

“Sych” are flying — the fight continues!

Glory to Ukraine!
