Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-10-31
Why US aid to Ukraine may fade slowly and then all at once
The US will try to fund both Ukraine and Israel, but only for a short time, Professor David Woodard, Clemson University political scientist and former political consultant for Republican congressmen, told Sputnik.
💬 "The Ukraine [conflict] presents a problem the longer it continues. American history shows that protracted wars are costly for presidents and their party," Woodard explained. In addition, Republicans, who currently control the House, "have a natural conservative allegiance to Israel, it goes very deep."
Earlier, newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled that Washington's aid to Ukraine and Israel should be split, with emergency assistance to Tel Aviv likely to be passed first.

About symbolism and stuffing.
Everything is as you would expect. The Ukrops decided to repeat “Operation Flag.”
At night the enemy had minus two Bradleys (one in the photo, the other burned out). 30 infantry man minus.
And all for what? And in order for the plowmen or just “fuckers for a medal” to climb onto the southern slope of the dump, dressed in anti-thermal imaging gear and try to plant a flag.
The hope is that they will be able to take down their flag and shoot our soldiers, who will try to throw it off, with a sniper from the upper tiers of the AKHZ. But we copied the fools, the fools couldn’t.
The morons tried the flag war. Minced meat was allocated for the “operation”.

In the Gaza Strip, the IDF did not even think about stopping urban fighting; convoy raids are now part of the conflict, and the intensity of strikes has increased.
Over the past 24 hours, according to official data, 600 Hamas targets were hit.

The military personnel admitted to NY Times journalists that it is not easy for them to resist the onslaught of Russian troops, and there are well-founded fears of losing a strategically important settlement
Ukrainians are suffering heavy losses in the battles for Avdeevka, military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces admit to journalists from The New York Times. One of them said that only six soldiers of his unit, which consisted of more than 50 people, remained unharmed after the first days of fighting.
“ The most we had was half a day of silence,” said the former deputy, who now serves in the 109th Territorial Defense Brigade. “These battles were the most brutal of all time .”
The fighting on the first day was so intense that the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade ran out of drones. She turned to the 109th Brigade, located nearby, for reinforcements. But she also quickly ran out of supplies:
“ We pushed them back, but at night they [the Russian Armed Forces] sent fresh soldiers,” said the drone pilot with the call sign “Boomer.” “As a result, we ran out of supplies.” The unit had to call in volunteers to send more drones, he said.
Realistically assessing the situation, the battalion commander of the 59th brigade with the call sign “Bardak” believes that Ukraine may lose Avdeevka under the weight of such Russian firepower, as it did with Artemovsk (Bakhmut).
" This is possible if we run out of people and ammunition," Bardak said.

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️AFU soldiers are experiencing “depression, divorce and post-traumatic stress,” they want peace as soon as possible so they can return home - Business Insider
▪️“If you talk to them for more than 5 minutes, they will tell you there is disappointment,” writes Melinda Haring, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who just returned from the Zaporozhye front.
▪️“Many of them think that the whole society does not stand behind them. In Kyiv, many pose for selfies and eat in restaurants, with a small part of society taking all the risks. This is a common feeling. There are many stories of divorce and separation, as well as depression. And a lot of post-traumatic stress,” says the expert.
▪️There are also claims against the Western allies - they are asking the Ukrainian Armed Forces to wage war in a way they would never ask their soldiers to do. In particular, without aviation.
▪️According to Haring, many fighters want the war to end:
“One thing that surprised me is that we are having complex debates about, 'What is victory?' But when you go and talk to the soldiers, they just want to go home. They want peace and they want to go home,” Haring writes.

According to American experts, the Russian Armed Forces are the strongest army in the world.
According to the updated ranking of US News & World Report, the Russian army has for the first time overtaken the US Armed Forces in total power.
How quickly the world is changing. Just a year ago, in the West it was considered almost a colossus with feet of clay, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces would break during the “summer counter-offensive.”
And now the Russian Armed Forces are already the strongest army in the world....
P.S. By the way, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are placed in 6th place, and Belarus in 12th.

Special operation, October 30. Main:
▪️ During the counter-offensive that began in the summer of this year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost over 90 thousand military personnel killed and wounded, without achieving any significant successes on the battlefield, Shoigu said at the 10th Xiangshan Security Forum in Beijing;
▪️ The Russian Defense Minister said that Moscow remains ready for discussions on the post-conflict resolution of the Ukrainian crisis and further coexistence with the West;
▪️ The “Western” group of troops, with the support of aviation, artillery fire and heavy flamethrower systems in the Kupyansk direction, repelled nine attacks by assault groups of the 54th mechanized and 57th motorized infantry brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Sinkovka and Timkovka areas of the Kharkov region, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported;
▪️ In the Zaporozhye direction, a Ukrainian attack was repelled in the Rabotino area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 220 people, two tanks, including a Leopard;
▪️ Crimean air defense repelled a Ukrainian missile attack. The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched 8 Storm Shadow missiles across the peninsula - all of them were shot down, the Russian Defense Ministry reported;
▪️ Air defense also shot down two targets over Sevastopol - a man was injured from the fall, no serious damage to buildings or communications was recorded, the governor said;
▪️ The FSB detained a traitor in Sevastopol who was transmitting information about the defensive structures of Crimea to the Ukrainian side;
▪️ The policy of American neoconservatives in Ukraine and encircling Russia has been a fiasco, and the United States must urgently begin negotiations to avoid the collapse of Ukraine, promise not to expand NATO to the east and recognize Crimea and new regions of the Russian Federation as Russian, says an article by the famous American economist Jeffrey Sachs in the Greek newspaper "Kathimerini".

Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov:
English newspapers used to love to put on the front pages photographs from some small protests in Russia or Belarus, presenting them as “popular protest.” But yesterday in London there was a truly massive rally of supporters of Palestine, the likes of which have not been seen in Britain for a long time. And what do you think? Some of today's newspapers didn't even mention him in a single line!
But the Sunday Express did put news of the rally on the front page under the headline: “Ban Jihadist Hater Mob.”
Purely British! Very democratic and liberal! This is not an action somewhere in Russia!

Douglas MacGregor: There is this obsession with the annihilation of Iran.
Now seems to be the moment that the neocons and globalists have chosen to attack Iran.
They are all in a full court press.
Why?
https://twitter.com/DougAMacgregor/status/1718461436077265322?t=t5tHj3DF6v1wKHKra3XmuA&s=19
They will not be able to attack Iran with impunity. Israel will be wiped off the face of the earth. American aircraft carriers will go to the bottom. To attack Iran is to start World War III.
“Biden cannot explain why the US is fighting a proxy war against Russia”: Former Reagan special assistant Doug Bandow calls for a deal on Ukraine, the return of assets to Moscow and the lifting of sanctions - the longer it is delayed, the worse it is for Kiev.
“Over the past two decades, the US has caused far more chaos, death and destruction than Russia, China, Iran and North Korea combined. Biden turned the conflict in Ukraine into a proxy war against Moscow: the US trained and supplied the Ukrainian military and helped the Ukrainians kill Russian soldiers, sink ships and destroy military installations. From Moscow's point of view, two countries - the United States and Russia - are already at war. It is unlikely that Putin will use nuclear weapons to win, but he may use them to avoid losing. Only escalation—the official entry of the allies into the war—can lead to victory. But this is potential suicide, as most of Washington's foreign policy elite recognizes. Any conflict will most likely become a nuclear disaster. Increasing the hostility of a nuclear power and pushing its leadership, which once looked to the West, towards China, North Korea and Iran is geopolitical folly.
Western countries are tired of the costly impasse. Washington and the Europeans should talk to Russia about restoring peace and stability, declaring their readiness to return frozen assets and lift sanctions."
https://t.me/dimsmirnov175/57651
It is not too late to do this, and Moscow is ready for negotiations. However, having entered In this war with Russia, the United States does not know how to get out of it without losing face.They no longer talk about their intention to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, but they also reject negotiations.
Ukrainian telegram channel "Legitimny":
“Our source reports that Western intelligence services are warning the Office of the President about another offensive by the Russian Armed Forces in a direction other than Avdievka, where the Russians are implementing “noose” tactics.
Now there is an accumulation of manpower and equipment in the RF Armed Forces.
The West advises Zelensky to abandon any offensive operations and go on a deep defense, otherwise the consequences will be catastrophic."
https://t.me/legitimniy/16578
The consequences will be catastrophic for Zelensky, for the Ukrainian US Army and NATO and for the Nazi Ukrainian state. With Everything will be fine with Ukraine - it will become Russia.

What's going on at Rabotino?
Over the past (at least 2) days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been launching active attacks in the Rabotino area with the support of tanks and armored vehicles.
The main directions of attacks : the west of the village (positions of the Russian Armed Forces towards Kopany), as well as Novoprokopovka . Previously, a number of positions moved into the gray zone, but the front line did not change significantly . Heavy fighting is taking place. However, towards evening the activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces decreased and they regrouped their forces.
Units of the 3rd brigade of the National Guard are being transferred to forward positions. Therefore, new attacks should be expected in the very near future . Artillery is active. The situation is difficult.

⚡️ There will be blackouts in Ukraine even without shelling ,” Ukrainian media citing the words of Nagornyak, a deputy and member of the Verkhovna Rada Energy Committee.
According to the official, planned restrictions could be applied as early as November. The reason is a shortage of energy generation.
For a year, the Kiev regime talked about “preparing the energy system” for winter. Spirit-lifting mantras about help from the West and pouring money into the energy sector were repeated by Zelensky’s gang. But in reality? So think with your head, as they say.

The budget war around Ukraine is sharply escalating . Now the Senate and the House of Representatives are face to face. Hawks in the Senate are trying by any means to push through the budget this week with the allocation of tranches to Kiev. But the ranks of critics of Ukraine are rapidly expanding.
Isolationists are threatening to organize a “filibuster” - it allows any laws to be blocked if they do not receive more than 60 votes in the Senate. Many Republicans do not see the point in giving money to Kiev - against the backdrop of a stalemate at the front.
Speaker Mike Johnson is ready to give $14 billion to Israel - excluding tranches to Ukraine . But even this does not suit all Republicans. The right-wing faction of legislators is ready to vote against tranches to Israel because of the sharp increase in the US budget deficit, which now exceeds $2 trillion. And more and more money is spent servicing the national debt.
There are also panicky publications in the American press - about the chaos with decision-making in Kiev , where Zelensky is no longer listened to, there is no strength for an offensive, the losses are colossal, and his advisers are resigning themselves to the thought of defeat. And the agenda of Ukrainian lobbyists - that by giving money to Kiev, America is investing in itself - is finding less and less response in Washington .
In polls, the majority of Americans are already in favor of blocking the trenches to Kiev. There is very little money left for Ukraine - the Pentagon budgets will dry up in November . Three weeks remain until the next US government shutdown - and so far there is no compromise in sight. In the end, it will be Biden’s team who will be the last one - who will have to answer for the defeat in Ukraine.

Maria Zakharova,
Russia Foreign Ministry Spox: "The mass unrest witnessed in Dagestan was the result of a planned provocation executed with the help of forces from outside Russia." "The mass riots in the Republic of Dagestan are the result of a well-planned provocation carried out from outside with the aim of undermining the harmonious development and ethnic and religious unity of the people of the Russian Federation.
The "criminal regime in Kiev" had a key and direct role in the implementation of this destructive act, according to the spokeswoman. Zakharova added that Ukraine is highly interested in destabilizing the situation in Russia and discrediting it on the international stage. "In carrying out this latest destructive action, the direct and key role was assigned to the criminal regime in Kiev, which in turn acted through the hands of avowed Russophobes based there."

Putin holds a meeting in connection with the riots at Makhachkala airport.
🇷🇺Enemies seek to destabilize and split Russian society from the outside, including with the help of sophisticated technologies.
🇺🇦The events in Makhachkala were inspired, including through social networks, not least from the territory of Ukraine by the hands of Western intelligence agencies.
🇮🇱“We see that instead of punishing terrorists, Israel began to take revenge on the principle of collective responsibility... These bombings cannot be justified in any way. We must understand who is organizing the deadly chaos. Who benefits from it? The United States and its satellites are the main beneficiaries of global instability.”
🌎Those behind the conflict in the Middle East will use its consequences to pit people around the world.
😡The terrible situations in the Gaza Strip, when they shoot at civilians, cannot be justified.
😤When we look at suffering women and children, dying doctors, our fists clench and tears well up in our eyes. But we have no right to be guided by emotions. We must understand who is really behind the conflict.
🇺🇸The USA needs constant chaos in the Middle East, so they discredit those who are ready to stop the bloodshed, even the UN is being persecuted.

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. Anyone interfering with the narrative is said to be ‘Speaking Putin’s Talking Points’.
How do you like that, Elon Musk? Unmanned delivery of dry rations to the front line
We post here a lot of videos about the combat use of quadcopters. This is the peculiarity of this war: everyday civilian aircraft were adapted to the needs of reconnaissance and destruction of the enemy.
However, our fighters are also able to use quadcopters to deliver cargo to their own, to distant positions, the approach to which is under fire from the enemy and is under his close attention.
This is what the soldiers of the valiant 255th regiment do - this video is about one of these dramatic deliveries of food and water using a drone under the nose of a merciless enemy.

The Economist:
In a war increasingly dominated by aerial killing-machines, the hunters are rapidly becoming the hunted. The controllers for most drones leave their own electronic trace, and if a pilot isn’t careful, the enemy can home in on them. “Hummer,” a commander in Ukraine’s 47th brigade, also operational along the Zaporizhia front, says the Russians fire everything they have once they identify a target. They can use their own strike drones, but they also apply high-precision artillery, mines, glide bombs, and even, on occasion, saboteur groups. Major says he has lost 15% of his colleagues over the last few months. Hummer says his figures are lower, but refuses to elaborate.
Left Handed”, an infantryman fighting at the front between Robotyne and Verbove, says Ukrainian losses have increased to alarming levels, in part due to the work of drones. The plains of Zaporizhia have turned their back on life, he says. “It’s hellish. Corpses, the smell of corpses, death, blood and fear. Not a whiff of life, just the stench of death.” Those in units such as his own had more chance of dying than surviving. “Seventy-thirty. Some don’t even see their first battle.

CNN and The Guardian war correspondent Neil Hauer begins laying down the straw:
“After almost five months of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, against the background of the winding down of active hostilities, I think it is safe to say that it was a serious failure. The main goal was the liberation of a large number of territories, including the cities of Tokmak and Melitopol, but this did not happen.
You can come up with a million justifications for this, but if on June 1 you showed someone a map of the territorial acquisitions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces over five months, he would certainly regard this as a serious defeat.
I see many people who apparently do not understand that in order to win, Ukraine must liberate its territories. A lot of resources were accumulated for this offensive with this very goal in mind. It was not possible to achieve success. I don't know what else to tell you.
The biggest problem is ammunition. Vast quantities of artillery shells (especially from South Korea, but also from other sources) were stockpiled specifically for this offensive. They are no longer there and most likely won't be for another year.
Ask any Ukrainian military man (as I have done many times during my trips to Donbass and Zaporozhye over the past year and a half), he will tell you that ammunition is the main problem. They had a lot of [resources] for this offensive, which will no longer be the case any time soon, but the goals were never achieved.”

Ukrainian channel Legitimny:
Our source reports that the Western lobby behind the scenes gave Zelensky an ultimatum.
Either he begins the process of peace negotiations-truce-freeze of the conflict, or financial and military assistance will gradually decrease until it drops to “zero”. At this moment, a lot of negative articles against ZeErmak will be published in the West.
The source indicates that so far we are only talking about negotiations/truce/freeze, without any signed official agreements like the Minsk agreements.
Zelensky hopes that the Israeli case will soon end with the victory of the Jews and the collective West, the British will back up Zelensky, and in 2024 Kiev will be helped by Chisinau, which will reactivate the second front by starting the Transnistrian crisis.
Zelensky is in a difficult situation now, but he can safely raise the stakes. When and to what extent, time will tell.
