Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-09-19
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the imminent delivery of M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Possibly the same as in the photo taken in Germany in 1986
The German Bundestag spoke in favor of sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine.
“In the near future, Taurus missiles will be reprogrammed and ready for delivery to Ukraine. The decision on deliveries will be made at a meeting between Biden, Scholz and Zelensky. This was discussed yesterday on a talk show in Berlin. Sarah Wagenknecht was categorically against it, while the rest participants spoke in favor of supplying missiles to Ukraine"

"The United States has no chance of winning a proxy war in Ukraine against Russia", former US Marine Brian Berletic is convinced.
In an interview with journalist Danny Haiphong, he said that Western countries cannot conduct large-scale and protracted battles due to the lack of a trained and well-equipped regular army, as well as problems with weapons.
“In the short or even medium term, the collective West will not be able to produce enough artillery shells for Ukraine,” @ino_tv quotes him as saying.
This applies to the production of missiles, tanks and ammunition, Berletik added, noting that Russia does not have such problems with the military-industrial complex, despite the sanctions. The only option for the United States is to “try to trip it up,” distract or provoke it, but the Russian Federation will not fall for this, he believes.

The only option for the United States is to leave Ukraine.
The tragedy in temporarily occupied Ukraine, Konstantinovka, which killed 17 people, occurred due to an abnormal launch of a Ukrainian 9M38 anti-aircraft missile from the Buk air defense system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Experts and analysts at The New York Time came to this conclusion.
Or maybe these scum launched the missile on purpose; for Bandera’s followers, all residents of Donbass have always been strangers.

Exactly on the day of Zelensky’s arrival in the States, pro-Trump resources exploded with a message: the famous blogger and TV presenter Jack Posobiec is included in the Ukrainian “Peacemaker” list for destruction! There he is called an “anti-Ukrainian propagandist,” a “provocateur,” a “pro-Russian activist,” and “the king of fake news.” Wow!
In response to the threat, Posobiec said "After the collapse of his counteroffensive, Zelensky's biggest threat isn't me, it's his own intelligence services. Hope you don't get put on the CIA's Early Retirement Plan, Volod. Drop the receipts on the Bidens and we'll find you a nice McMansion in Sarasota."

Abrams tanks will soon be delivered to Ukraine.

Usually, the United States announces arms supplies to Ukraine when these deliveries have already begun. A war with Russia in Ukraine is America's choice. I very much doubt that this is the choice of the Americans.
Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on September 18
▪️Russian forces continue to launch regular strikes on rear military targets in Ukraine.
In the Khmelnytskyi region, targets in the vicinity of Starokostyantyniv, where a major Ukrainian military airfield is located, were hit.
▪️Strikes on port infrastructure along the Danube River in the Odesa region continue.
Several kamikaze drones of the Geryan type targeted multiple dual-purpose objects in the city of Kiliya.
▪️Units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) attempted another landing operation at Cape Tarkhankut in Crimea.
An airstrike was carried out against a group of boats, resulting in the destruction of two watercraft, while the remaining units chose to retreat.
▪️Simultaneously, the adversary attempted to divert attention from the landing operation with another drone attack on the peninsula.
In total, five AFU UAVs were neutralized by air defense and electronic warfare means in the airspace over Crimea.
▪️Intense fighting continues to the south of Bakhmut on the Klishchiivka-Andriivka line.
Russian artillery consistently fires on Ukrainian units attempting to establish positions in the destroyed settlements.
▪️The AFU launched another attack on Russian positions in the southern outskirts of Staromaiorske on the Vremivka Salient.
As before, frontline fighters repelled this attempt, forcing Ukrainian units to retreat to their original positions.

The footage shows that the forestry area is clearly visible from the air and, accordingly, delivering precise strikes is also not difficult for experienced UAV operators. This is how our guys work,” added the head of the Chechen Republic.

The Russian Armed Forces have pushed back the initial positions of the AFU in the Ugledarsk direction, and artillery destroyed enemy concentrations in areas in the forest belt.
This was reported by Denis Pushilin, the acting head of the DPR, on air of the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
He also stated that Klescheevka and Andreevka currently became a grey zone. The AFU is trying to gain a foothold there, but they are not succeeding.

Footage of a night attack by "Geranium" near the port of Reni, Odessa Region
Ukrainian militants traditionally went on the hunt for drones, trying to shoot them down with small arms. But the "Geraniums" proved to be more nimble and reached the target (it can be seen at the end of the video).
At night it was reported (https://t.me/OstashkoNews/95993) that two Russian UAVs had broken through in Reni, neither of which were shot down by the Ukrainian air defence forces.

Situation in the South Donetsk direction
▪️ In the Vremyevsky section, the enemy has completed the withdrawal of units from the north-western outskirts of Novomayorskoye; our artillery has added some excitement to this process. Otherwise, the Novomayorskoye-Novodonetskoye section remains calm. If the Ukrainian armed forces plan to attempt another breakthrough in this direction, we should anticipate increased shelling from their side, as it has been practically absent for the past two days. This is indirectly supported by the arrival of enemy reserves in the western districts of the Donetsk region. They could deploy these reserves both here and for attempts to breach the defensive line at Priyutnoye-Zavetnye Zhelaniya-Staromlynivka.
Not only the 127th Brigade but also their colleagues from the 129th Brigade have appeared near Staromayorskoye. We attribute this to an attempt to replace the 1st rifle battalion of the AFU's 1st Tank Brigade, which, in its efforts to dislodge our units from the southwestern border of the village, also suffered a loss in combat capability.
▪️ On the Ugledar section, our artillery targeted Ugledar, Vodyanoye, and Novomikhailovka, prompting the enemy to respond with cluster munition along the front lines. Routine activity.

It has been reported by some sources that three Storm Shadow missiles were intercepted over Melitopol, and another of the same type was intercepted over the Genichesky district.
The target was the Crimean Bridge, which is now obscured by a smoke screen. We've seen this before – the smoke screen is a standard procedure in such an attack, so everything is likely normal.

American officer: The West can no longer hide the truth about the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The West can no longer hide the truth about the Ukrainian conflict and failed US policies, writes retired US military officer Daniel Davis in an article for Newsweek (https://inosmi.ru/20230919/konflikt-265728712.html). He notes that Kiev paid an exorbitant price for minor territorial gains.
At the same time, American intelligence knew in advance that the counteroffensive “would largely not live up to the expectations placed on it .”

Now more than ever, our Main Stream Media is corrupt. They are corporate owned and agenda driven. Independent Media is the only source for real and full information. Our blog presents facts, articles, and opinions not covered, and often hidden, by the MSM. Our goal is to get independent media posts in front of as many readers as possible.
The MSM's Ukraine neo-Nazi Amnesia
As Russia invaded Ukraine, the entire MSM joined in lockstep to give us a narrative. An important part of the narrative was that Russia’s claim that Neo-Nazi’s are a force in Ukraine is a Kremlin lie. It is a narrative that is easily unraveled by the MSM’s own past articles. So far, no MSM outlets are willing to discuss this ugly truth today. Anyon…
Lancet strike on the MiG-29 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the Dolgintsevo airfield in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
American media drew attention to high losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Military Watch Magazine reported that the average life expectancy of soldiers at the front is “about four hours.”
Journalists cite a statement from former US Marine Corps officer Troy Offenbecker, who spoke about the course of the battles near Artyomovsk.
The Marine also said that “confusion reigned” in the positions of the Ukrainian troops, which led to even greater losses.
As ANNA NEWS previously reported, losses among Ukrainian Armed Forces recruits are estimated at 80-90%. According to the Russian authorities, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the offensive in the Zaporozhye direction alone are estimated at 70 thousand people. https://t.me/vicktop55/17137
