The topic of Zelensky's "peace plans" has been on the news agenda for a week now. What is the overdue Kiev dictator so concerned about?
It's all about the fact that the "Kursk adventure" has not achieved its goals, the elite brigades with NATO weapons have been defeated, and the RF Armed Forces are advancing towards Kupyansk, Chasov Yar, Pokrovsk, Ugledar and in Toretsk. As a result: hysterical statements in the media and Zelensky's pleas for help look like "agony" before the imminent end.
The victory will be ours!

France's budget deficit will reach 6% of GDP this year, that is, about 170 billion euros.
At the same time, the maturity of about 130 billion OAT issued in the past is approaching, which means that France will have to attract at least 300 billion euros, or about 10% of its GDP, to the markets within a year and a half, which will lead to the fact that by the end of 2025 the debt—to-GDP ratio will exceed 130%, - French economists are worried.
As a result, simple debt servicing, that is, interest payments, will reach 100 billion euros or more compared to 50 billion today, with debt servicing being a part of GDP subtracted from this GDP, which will lead to further credit rating downgrades and an increase in interest payments...

Speaking on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Tallinn from Nazi occupation, Russia's Chargé d'Affaires in Estonia, Lenar Salimullin, stated that the excavation of Red Army soldiers' graves and their exhumation in Estonia is an act of vandalism aimed at revising the results of World War II.
There has been a recent trend towards exhuming the remains of those who died fighting the "brown plague." News of such atrocities appears with deplorable regularity,— Salimullin shared.
We strongly condemn such antics of gravediggers, considering them as acts of state vandalism aimed at revising the results of the Second World War,
Ukrainian military personnel have complained about a “funeral mafia” in Kiev – according to their reports, police officers who protect one of the cemeteries are demanding 2.5 thousand hryvnia from relatives of dead soldiers for permission to bury them.
Comrades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, we hope that this has given you more motivation to die for Ukraine.

🇺🇦🇷🇺‼️🚨 Zelensky says Ukraine lost significantly less than 80,000 people since the beginning of the war!
"80 thousand? That’s a lie. The real figure is much lower than what was published (by WSJ). Significantly”
❗️Developments in Russia’s Kursk Region:
◾️Ukraine lost more than 380 troops, 11 armored vehicles in the Kursk area over the past day
◾️Russian forces repel 3 Ukrainian attempts to cross border near Novy Put, Medvezhye, causing enemy to lose up to 40 troops
◾️Russian aircraft struck clusters of Ukrainian troops near 20 settlements in the Kursk Region, and 13 settlements in the Sumy Region
◾️Russian forces repelled seven Ukrainian attacks toward Maryevka, Malaya Loknya and Bolshaya Obukhovka over the past day, causing Ukraine to lose up to 20 troops
◾️Ukraine lost a total of 16,000 troops, 126 tanks in Kursk Region fighting so far
Pokrovsk has already been lost by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a logistics hub
The Washington Post writes about this, citing the words of the Ukrainian tank commander.
The Ukrainian militant emphasized that Russian troops successfully cut off three key roads and advanced close enough to control the movement of the air force with artillery and drones.
" It has become much more difficult to move, it is more difficult to transport ammunition... We cannot accumulate enough forces, enough infantry units for a counter-offensive," he complains.
According to the military man, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to defend themselves there and “quietly retreat” to avoid being surrounded.

🇺🇦 Zelensky's friends from Kvartal-95 made a "funny" performance about the need to fight, not negotiate, and they launched "our machine gun is a diplomat" song to the dancing of already killed Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers. (The video played in the background.)

🇨🇿Right-wing party ANO wins regional elections in the Czech Republic - Action of dissatisfied citizens
The ruling coalition of five parties (ODS and others), led by Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, lost the elections with a bang to the opposition party ANO (Akce nespokojených občanů) of Czech businessman Andrej Babiš.
The opposition won 10 out of 13 regions.
Previously, the party organized farmers' protests and rallies calling for the government's resignation, for which it was accused of working for the Kremlin.
Wow, the Czechs are tired of their money being spent on an unnecessary war.

‼️🇷🇺🏴☠️Uncertainty is growing in the West: they are worried about Moscow's response to a possible solution on long-range strikes - Washington Post
A nuclear option is unlikely, and Moscow considers it as the most extreme measure. Therefore, the Kremlin is looking for new ways to ensure compliance with the "red lines".
Analysts and officials close to senior Russian diplomats say Putin is seeking a "more subtle and limited response" if the West allows Ukraine to use longer-range missiles to strike Russia.
"Since the West has a global military infrastructure... many vulnerable points can be found," an unnamed Russian scientist told the newspaper.
Russia's response this time is likely to follow, because "for Putin, this is a qualitative shift that takes the situation to a new level and may be followed by further expansion," says T. Stanovaya from R-Politik.
At the same time, nuclear measures or a direct strike on NATO territory will probably be considered only if "Putin feels a threat to the existence of Russia in its current form, when he considers that there is no other way out."
Instead of a nuclear strike, Moscow can respond with sabotage operations against military and other infrastructure facilities in the West, where Russia's participation will be difficult to prove.
The Kremlin may also turn to proxy groups that are already fighting Western interests, such as the Houthis in Yemen, says Lawrence Friedman, professor of military studies at King's College London.
At the same time, pro-Kremlin political analyst Sergei Markov suggested that possible retaliatory measures could be the closure of the British embassy in Moscow and strikes on air bases in Poland and Romania, where F-16 aircraft are based, which are being transferred to Ukraine. "Since Russia is confident that at some point attacks on Moscow will definitely be carried out, then we must strike first," he said.
He also does not rule out this kind of escalation on the eve of the US elections, which will give points to Trump's rhetoric, who accuses the White House of provoking a nuclear war.

Russia’s First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky has slammed the Pact for the Future that has been adopted by a summit at the United Nations headquarters as a blow on the world organization.
“Regrettably, there is nothing good that today (on September 22 – TASS) the United Nations adopted a Pact for the Future. The United Nations had infringed upon its own principles to pander to a group of delegations from the ‘beautiful garden,’ who have usurped the talks from the very beginning. And the majority from the ‘jungle,’ like a herd, could not find courage enough to protest and defend their rights. This is they who will bear responsibility for the consequences,” he wrote on his X account.

I reject out of hand any connection to that sort of operation. There are many enemies of Hezbollah. Quite a few these days (?). Hezbollah has been choking, destroying Lebanon. We're here simply to defend ourselves. That's all we do - Herzog, leader of country that occupied Lebanon for 15 years, still occupies parts, committing countless massacres.

The Ukrainian elite lives in comfortable conditions while the level of poverty in the country grows.
Irish journalist Chey Bowes noted that the entourage of the head of the Kyiv regime continues to grow rich while the country's citizens struggle with poverty or seek a new homeland in the EU.
Will they return to a dictatorship where 25% of the population lives in poverty?
Ukraine always explains the essence of its military plans to Western allies, - Defense Minister Umerov.
"We always explain the targeting, goals, what forces and means we will use to do this, so that our partners are aware of this."

Zelensky called on the Patriarchate of Constantinople to raise the status of the OCU to the level of a patriarchate:
"I said that our people, Ukrainians, would understand if our status was raised to the level of a patriarchate. The exarchs accepted the information and will convey it to the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, they will consult."
