From Cossack Colonel YURI KOMONYISKI military correspondent
The intensity of the conflict has temporarily receded as the RF regroups, repositions and replenishes its forces. Nikolaevka is half encircled and Ukrofascist targets continue to be struck, which will eventually drive them out. I estimate that within two weeks it will be liberated at which point we’ll focus on Odessa. Our work in the Kharkov region progresses well it won’t be long before we take full control. The Ukrofascists continue to shell civilian targets using American supplied howitzers and munitions for Himars MLRS with a firing range of 140-300km to strike at Luhansk. The RF is mobilizing 45,000 troops to expedite the liberation of southern Ukraine.
The Sakhalin II project will revert to the Russia government. Shell will exit the project and the Chinese and the Indians will replace take over their holdings. The Japanese intend to maintain their holdings and accept the new terms and conditions. The turbine has not been delivered to Russia, currently its status is unknown.
The president of the BRICS International Forum, Purnima Anand announced that Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt are preparing applications to join BRICS. “These countries are preparing their membership applications. This will strengthen the influence of BRICS around the world. A formal decision on these countries will be made at the next summit in 2023.”
It’s the third day in a row that Kiev is not being shelled. The Ukrofascists attacked Belarus using a Tochka-U launching four missiles. Our track-mounted Pantzer defensive shield system having a reach of 150km and the ability to eliminate low flying objects knocked out all four rockets which were targeting various cities populated by civilians. Some of the debris damaged some of the houses and Lukashenko issued instruction to have them repaired immediately. The launch area of these missiles was rapidly identified and destroyed, just as they were planning another assault. The response received by the Ukrofascists from Belarus was brutal. The Polish and their NATO masters have stationed a 12,000-man fighting force on the Belarus border. This force is comprised largely of marines. Belarus has concentrated a portion of its fighting force along the intersecting borders Poland/Ukraine/Belarus, in anticipation of attack from its neighbor’s which may have a NATO element involved. The Ukrofascists have been busy building fortifications between Belarus and Kiev. Concurrently we destroyed another four LMRS units kindly supplied to the Ukrainians by the US.
The NATO-friendly participants in this conflict and concurrent neighbors of the Ukraine are plotting in secret behind closed doors on a potential peace deal with Russia. They are determining how to dissect the Ukraine into suitable pieces for all parties involved, much like the breakup of Germany. Romania has set its sights upon Moldovia and Transnistria. Poland is salivating, expecting to carve out a large portion of NW Ukraine while Hungary has no interest in becoming involved.
Our intel suggests they are seeking access to Putin to present to him on a silver platter a dissected version of the Ukraine, something that does not belong to them. Putin has taken a hard position indicating that their peace proposals are too late and now the terms will be set subject to Russia’s whim. For some reason the west keeps interpreting kindness for weakness. On the Kherson oblast borders Ukrofascists have started to burn the wheat fields before harvest, they are using low flying helicopters to achieve this.
It’s unlikely that the EU will agree to the dissolution of Ukraine until more destruction has been inflicted upon the Ukraine – I believe just one more significant strike to which the RF is currently building up momentum. Zelensky in the meantime has legislated authorization for Polish citizens to hold key government positions in the Ukraine, something that is totally illegal under Ukrainian law. Zelensky continues to act in Poland’s best interests through the RADA.
We proceed to watch with interest as the US toys with the Chinese Dragon. When the US crosses the red line with China and the Dragon strikes that will be an opportune time for Japan to switch allegiances and free themselves from American shackles.
As we drive the fascists out of the Ukraine, I expect they will head into Poland from where they will enter Europe. Soon Europe will be inundated with a mindset that I expect they are ill-equipped to handle. The approaching winter could be the hardest Europe will experience in the last 60 years; the EU will pay for the sanctions it has imposed against Russia. The Russian air force destroyed over 350 Ukrofascists (Kakhovka group) based at a Nikolaevka shipyard.
There has been no significant change to Kaliningrad blockage. I suspect that if we mobilized our ylyansk special forces to liberate the passage, they would make short work of it. Scott Ritter (someone I profoundly respect) stated that if Russia chose to, it could take Poland and the Lithuania in a matter of days.
I note as a point of interest there are approximately 12-highly placed Polacks within Biden’s administration. This element of the Polish diaspora in the US has the ability to seriously influence America’s decision-making process, perhaps introducing a bias in Poland’s favor, misaligned to that of the US.
Meanwhile, mines are being washed up daily on the Bulgarian and Romanian coastal beaches. Because of this the tourist numbers have dropped off significantly. The Ukrainian imbeciles dropped the mines randomly and did not maintain charts as to the locations of the mines. This makes it extremely hard to locate and remove them. The mines are chained to weights and are set at predesignated depths, however this doesn’t guarantee their immobilization due to bad weather and strong sea currents as the Romanians and Bulgarians are discovering. These mines (from the 1970s) are magnetized and have the ability to go to bottom and lay in waiting, it will take years to remove them. The Turks have responded to the Ukrainians, demanding they stop dropping mines in the Black Sea as it will hamper their efforts to export grain.
Recently another American mercenary (dark skinned) was caught along with two others. The former native of Rwanda, Suedi Murekese, was detained by Russian troops in the Kherson region. He was the commander of a larger group of mercenaries. Once this knowledge was made public within 24 hours another 105 mercenaries crossed back over the Polish border. Under Kharkov we are taking out one or two mercenary saboteur teams daily. The RF will no longer be releasing bodies until such time they are claimed, which means consulate representatives will need to ID the corpse before it will be released. Another Australian mercenary has been liquidated. We have all of his relevant documentation and I expect I will be in a position to release his personal information in due course. To date 2500 Polish mercenaries have been killed. They currently hold the record. This information I gleamed from US/UK sources.
The Ukrofascist groups that remained in Lysychansk and Severodonetsk started killing foreign mercenaries, as they were privy to sensitive intel related to the activities of foreign special services active in the Donbass region. The LNR military discovered numerous burnt corpses, identifying some as English and Polish. On June 26th, Vitaly Kiselev, a representative of the LNR Interior Ministry, stated it was known that in excess of 120 mercenaries from Poland, Britain, France and the US were in Lysychansk. There were approximately 12,000 Ukrainian soldiers occupying the city. Based on intel reports 37 Britons, 21 French and 64 Americans were active in Lysychansk.
As a matter of interest, the Volkssturm 130th battalion, formerly active in the Kherson region, was reduced in size by the Chechen forces. During the interrogation a prisoner said that same-sex marriages were spreading in the 130th Volkssturm battalion. Foreign mercenaries from Canada and Poland who were in his battalion “support same-sex interests.” The prisoner noted he likes to dress like a lady, and this was understood by the 130th Battalion commander.
Reconstruction of the city of Mariupol has commenced. The majority of the living accommodation will be restored by 2024, but there is a lot of work to be done. We Have teams of people on the ground working long days. Rubble is being cleared, bus services have been restored, food supplies are being imported from mother Russia and some banking facilities have been re-established. The port has started functioning and cargoes are moving in two directions. We currently have approximately 215,000 people living in Mariupol, up to 40,000 based in its suburbs, things are returning to normal. 90% of Mariupol is using the ruble as currency in shops, hospitals etc. Pensions are now being paid in rubles. Twenty-seven apartment blocks have been erected in Mariupol and continue to be erected.
Yes Jo: 100% correct.
The shipping companies will ‘launder’ the Russian gas by sailing from port to port on the eastern and southern seaboards of the Med, ratcheting up the price, and then unload in Europe. At a significant profit of course.
There was also mention of Israel exporting some of its undersea gas to Europe? – all round Shekel time.
Well, Europe and the West have had at least FIVE goes at wrecking Russia since Napoleon’s heyday. Napoleon, Britain, the Habsburgs, the Financiers and Masters of Communism and the Nazis.
Russia has paid a massive cost and lost TENS OF MILLIONS of lives due to the Western excursions in Russia. I doubt that the Russians have not managed to learn who’s who and what’s what.
So how is anyone entitled to conclude that Russia is bent on taking over the world? The logic of reality escapes me.
@ H. “Europe’s gas quota is now going to India, China and the Middle East.” and “some parts of the ME“ will sell it back to the EU with some extra double whopper toppings. Israel is officially an exporter of energy now. “You drill and we superior ones we chill!”
Dream on, little dreamer , dream on!
The US administration is not just fighting a covert proxy war with Russia, it’s also in a covert war with its servile EU allies. Haven’t the Europeans figured it out yet? When push comes to shove, who is actually going to cop it in the neck big time?
Russia and China Haven’t Even Started to Ratchet Up the Pain Dial
Internationalist 360°
Jul 14
Pepe Escobar The Suicide Spectacular Summer Show, currently on screen across Europe, proceeds in full regalia.
“………“Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield, well, what can I say, let them try. We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian – this is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. But it looks like it’s all coming to this. But everyone should know that, by and large, we haven’t really started anything yet.”
Fact. On Operation Z, Russia is using a fraction of its military potential, resources and state of the art weapons.
Then we come to the most probable path ahead in the war theater:
“We do not refuse peace negotiations, but those who refuse should know that the longer it drags, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us.”
As in the pain dial will be ratcheted up, slowly but surely, on all fronts.
Yet the meat of the matter had been delivered earlier in the speech: “ratcheting up the pain dial” applies in fact to dismantling the whole “rules-based international order” edifice. The geopolitical world has changed. Forever.
Here’s the arguably key passage:
“They should have understood that they have already lost from the very beginning of our special military operation, because its beginning means the beginning of a radical breakdown of the World Order in the American way. This is the beginning of the transition from liberal-globalist American egocentrism to a truly multipolar world – a world based not on selfish rules invented by someone for themselves, behind which there is nothing but the desire for hegemony, not on hypocritical double-standards, but on international law, on the true sovereignty of peoples and civilizations, on their will to live their historical destiny, their values and traditions and build cooperation on the basis of democracy, justice and equality. And we must understand that this process can no longer be stopped.”
Meet the trifecta
A case can be made that Putin and Russia’s Security Council are implementing a tactical trifecta that has reduced the collective West to an amorphous bunch of bio headless chickens.
The trifecta mixes the promise of negotiations – but only when considering Russia’s steady advances on the ground in Novorossiya; the fact that Russia’s global “isolation” has been proved in practice to be nonsense; and tweaking the most visible pain dial of them all: Europe’s dependence on Russian energy.
The main reason for the graphic, thundering failure of the G20 Foreign Ministers summit in Bali is that the G7 – or NATOstan plus American colony Japan – could not force the BRICS plus major Global South players to isolate, sanction and/or demonize Russia.
On the contrary: multiple interpolations outside of the G20 spell out even more Eurasia-wide integration. Here are a few examples.
The first transit of Russian products to India via the International North-South Transportation Corridor (INSTC) is now in effect, crisscrossing Eurasia from Mumbai to the Baltic via Iranian ports (Chabahar or Bandar Abbas), the Caspian Sea, and Southern and Central Russia. Crucially, the route is shorter and cheaper than going through the Suez Canal.
In parallel, the head of the Iranian Central Bank, Ali Salehabadi, confirmed that a memorandum of interbank cooperation was signed between Tehran and Moscow.
That means a viable alternative to SWIFT, and a direct consequence of Iran’s application to become a full BRICS member, announced at the recent summit in Beijing. The BRICS, since 2014, when the New Development Bank (NDB) was founded, have been busy building their own financial infrastructure, including the near future creation of a single reserve currency. As part of the process, the harmonization of Russian and Iranian banking systems is inevitable………”

When Yuri mentioned the ‘turbine has not been delivered to Russia, currently its status is unknown.’ He was referring to this one: presently located in Canada.

As for Germany’s self inflicted wounds, all eyes are fixed upon July 22, and the accompanying question, – will Russia turn its gas back on?
As one investor explained: – ‘There simply is no substitute available for Russian gas.’

The associated economic destruction of Germany and its neighbours is nothing short of extensive collateral war damage, albeit, without the need, nor expense of high grade military weaponry. Sun Tzu would be very proud of Mr Putin.
Russian economists might well be asking themselves: do we actually need Europe as a customer?. As a perennial trouble-maker, Russia may decide to wash their hands of the Europeans, refuse to turn their gas back on, and leave the imbeciles to freeze, go unwashed and eat cold food.
Why should Russia care?, Europe’s gas quota is now going to India, China and the Middle East.
