Russia Ukraine Update Thread - part 2

98,000 Russians have entered Kazakhstan since mobilization was announced.

“Most of them are forced to leave because of the hopeless situation. We must take care of them and ensure their safety.”

Tokayev’s remarks came as Kazakhstan’s interior ministry said nearly 100,000 Russians had crossed the two countries’ shared border measuring 7,644 kilometres (4,762 miles) – the world’s second-longest land border – since Russia issued what it called a “partial mobilisation” order last week.

Russians do not need a visa or even a passport to enter Kazakhstan, just their Russian identity papers. The Russian language is also widely spoken in the vast but sparsely populated country, which is home to a large ethnic Russian minority.

Not seen the numbers for Georgia but reports say the FSB are at the crossing.

150%?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Joe won it

The 2 pipelines(4 leaks) were likely caused by explosives.

A reading from a German Centre for Georesearch seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm shows two spikes, at 0003 and 1700 GMT, followed by a lower-level 'hissing' on the day when the Nord Stream 1 and 2 Baltic gas pipelines sprang leaks one after the othe

Are you suggesting that nice man Mr Lavrov is not entirely truthful?

Given as of the 26th, occupation officials in Zaporizhia said the turn out was 66%... but over half the population is in Ukrainian control territory... its an utter sham, throw in all the residents that have fled and other out layers like that and yeah complete bollocks.

Its like saying you got to eat all the cake since you ate all of the piece you had been given, even after you dropped it onto the floor and the dog ate half of that piece... 'technically' your right, but also very very much factually wrong.

Also alot of blank ballots are being seen in photos (people were using blank votes as protest as far as i could tell)... so if ruZZia counts them as turnout but ignores them as votes then you'll get some stupid numbers... although i see ruZZia happily counting blank votes as what ever they want them to be.

There is nobody left to vote against annexation , everyone who is pro Ukraine is dead or has fled.

Kill of the entire opposition and then celebrate a political victory.

Nuts.

27 September Update

Key Takeaways

* Russian President Vladimir Putin will likely announce the Russian annexation of occupied Ukrainian territory on September 30 after Russian officials completed their falsified “referenda” on September 27.

* Russian forces are reportedly committing newly-mobilized Western Military District (WMD) men to the Kherson and Kharkiv Oblast frontlines without prior training.

* Ukrainian forces are consolidating their positions on the eastern bank of the Oskil river and made further gains on the outskirts of Lyman.

* Ukrainian forces continued to target Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) as part of the southern counter-offensive interdiction campaign, particularly disrupting Russian efforts to build barge crossings.

* Russian forces continued unsuccessful offensive operations around Bakhmut and west of Donetsk City, increasingly leveraging penal units.

* Russian forces inflicted severe damage on a Ukrainian airfield in Kryvyi Rih and continued routine air and missile strikes across southern Ukraine.

* Russian authorities are establishing checkpoints at Russia’s borders to forcibly mobilize Russian men who are seeking to avoid forced mobilization by fleeing the country.

* Russian officials are setting conditions to forcibly mobilize or conscript Ukrainian civilians in soon-to-be annexed areas of occupied Ukraine.

* The Russian annexation of occupied Donetsk and Luhansk will likely exacerbate tensions within DNR and LNR forces, who regularly mutiny when asked to fight outside the borders of their own oblasts.

* Russian officials may attempt to reframe their invasion of Ukraine and occupation of soon-to-be-annexed Ukrainian territory as a “counterterrorism operation.”

I just watched video from today of roughly 1/3 of russia's 350 prewar BUK M3 inventory riding a single train into Luhansk.

HIMARS, you got your ears on?





Seriously, do russian's think a 60 year old ('upgraded' in 1980) air defense system is gonna help?

So....

Zero training for cannon fodder conscripts?







There were about a dozen passenger cars on that BUK train, there's a good chance they were carrying the troops this article referred to.

russia only has few rail depots in Luhansk, hopefully Mr. HIMARS was paying attention.

Wonder what the Israeli government -really- thinks about this war.

Impossible to tell (about anything).

But debka will always tell you what their intelligence agencies are saying.

Close as anyone can get.

The last Ukraine article in their feed is from Jul 20, so it appears that Israeli intelligence services have nothing public to say on the matter.
