The only thing that's going to prevent the Russian military actions described in this post? The complete collapse of the Ukrainian army so that the Russian army is able to finally liberate the entirety of the former Ukrainian territory or at least all territory east of the Dnepr within the end of this year at most.
Despite current AFU difficulties this scenario still seems unlikely so there are 90%+ of chances all the three steps are going to be implemented.

❗️Ukraine conflict must end ‘this fall’ — Zelensky
The de facto Ukrainian leader has urged NATO countries to continue to Ukraine and pressure Russia to agree to Kiev’s peace terms this fall.
He made the statement during a meeting with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
“To achieve this, we need funding – we are ready to quickly produce everything that will help us bring this war to an end, namely, by putting decisive pressure on Russia for real peace,” Zelensky said, according to his website. “Let’s make this fall a time for Russian aggression to fall… in a way that will end the war and restore a reliable international security order.”

US Senator Lindsay Graham makes the case for more Ukraine aid while in Kiev (hint: it’s got to do with $$$)
“Ukraine doesn’t want or need American boots on the ground, they just need weapons and permission to fight Russia and stop the unprovoked invasion,” the war hawk says while standing with Zelensky.
“They’re sitting on a trillion dollars worth of minerals.”
Is he saying the quiet part out loud?

No US-style witch hunt in Russia – American journo
If Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer who cooperated with Russian media, and the assets of Dimitri K. Simes, a Russian political scientist with US citizenship, were in Russia and not within the reach of the presumably free US, they would not be threatened by a “witch hunt,” US journalist Jackson Hinkle said in a conversation with Sputnik on the sidelines of the 2024 Eastern Economic Forum.
Ritter earlier said that he was forced to stop cooperation with RT and Sputnik because of the new US sanctions against Russian media companies, while expressing gratitude to his Russian colleagues for their professionalism.
For his part, Hinkle said that sanctions and the 'witch hunt' waged against the Russian media cannot stop him, because he is in Russia and he is safe. Hinkle also noted that if Ritter were in Russia, his passport wouldn't have been confiscated. Likewise, if the paintings and all of Simes' belongings were in Russia, they wouldn't have been seized.
TikTok lawyers up for US government legal battle
The video-sharing platform has brought two top Supreme Court lawyers to fight their corner against the US government’s attempt to force Chinese owners ByteDance to divest from its US-based TikTok assets.
Andrew Pincus and Jeffrey Fischer will represent the company and content creators when the US Court of Appeals hears arguments on September 16.
TikTok and ByteDance have argued the law signed by Joe Biden in April is “a radical departure from this country’s tradition of championing an open Internet.”

UK ‘thinking head of Western hydra that helps Zelensky regime’ – expert
It’s safe to say that London is directly involved in hostilities against Moscow, military journalist, Alexey Borzenko, told Sputnik. He was commenting on Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s recent statement that the preliminary adjustment of the flight controllers of the Ukrainian drones that attacked an oil storage facility in Russia’s Rostov region were carried out in Salisbury and Newport, UK.
“For Moscow, Britain is the most hostile NATO country because the UK is involved in all major projects to damage Russian infrastructure, and the civilian population and troops to the maximum,” Borzenko, who is also deputy chief editor of the Literary Russia newspaper, said.
The UK can be called “the thinking head of the entire Western hydra”, which helps the Kiev regime by providing it with military hardware, the journalist pointed out, recalling that Britain was the first to supply grenade launchers to Ukraine, followed by tanks, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and even poison in ampoules.
Out of spite for the current administration, Donald Trump has threatened to lift sanctions against Russia. But will he really do it if elected?
No, of course not. For all his apparent bravado as an 'outsider', Trump is ultimately an establishment insider. Yes, he is an eccentric narcissist, but he is also a pragmatist. As a businessman, Trump understands that sanctions harm the dollar's dominance in the world. However, that's insufficient reason to stage a revolution in the United States and go against the anti-Russian line of the notorious Deep State, which is much stronger than any Trump.
But what about Harris? You shouldn't expect any surprises from her. She is inexperienced and, according to her enemies, just plain stupid. Beautiful meaningless speeches and boring 'correct' answers to questions will be prepared for her, which she will read off a teleprompter while laughing contagiously.
There were sanctions against the USSR throughout the 20th century, and they've returned on an unprecedented scale in the 21st. So, it's sanctions forever. Or rather, until the US collapses during an imminent new civil war. After all, Hollywood makes films about this for a reason😂.
Embassy comment on the most recent spike of the anti-Russian campaign in UK media
❗️ The Embassy has taken note of efforts by certain UK right-wing conservative forces, even though they have been relegated to the local political backstage, to persist in fuelling anti-Russian hysteria in sponsored media outlets.
On top of habitual twisted facts and fictional plots the last few days have seen the increased use of grotesque geopolitical constructs, punctuated with the obsession that Russia must be made to suffer a military defeat and collapse.
The reason for this delusional "episode" is, quite obviously, a combination of bad news for the Kiev regime and its handlers in London.
👉 Above all, the confident offensive action of the Russian Armed Forces in Donbass.
👉 The failure of the Kursk gamble, which has only revealed the terrorist inclinations of the marauding Ukrainian military.
👉 The feverish reshuffle in the Ukrainian top brass.
👉 Finally, the West's inability using sanctions traps and pseudo-judicial simulacra to hold back Russia's accelerating development and the augmentation of mutually beneficial relations between our country and its partners around the world. The Eastern Economic Forum, currently taking place in Vladivostok, provides ample evidence in this regard.
Of particular cynicism against this background are the soundbites produced by certain British politicians who bear personal responsibility for prolonging the conflict, such as former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, in support of the total mobilisation of the Ukrainian population, including its youth.
These bloodthirsty exhortations seem to illustrate the determination of the London ideologues behind the "Ukrainian project" to buy time at any cost as it approaches its inevitable finale.
☝️ We are convinced that the British people do not share the irrational Russophobia, misguided exceptionalism and the sense of impunity that encourage certain figures of the local political establishment to incite the Kiev regime to wage a self-destructive "war to the last Ukrainian".

The approaching Russian shift to the asymmetrical military response in order to be on top of the escalation ladder.
Till now the Russian political and military leadership always responded symmetrically to NATO aggression. This will likely change in coming months as hawks inside Russian elites are getting the upper hand over doves. The fact Kremlin's famous "red lines" are continually crossed by NATO and the response is mostly inadequate is becoming a problem for Russia as it endangers national security and territorial integrity more and more, given the enemy perceives this as weakness instead of patience or responsibility, so it's getting increasingly difficult to pursue the current strategy without dramatic changes especially in light of NATO's coming delivery to the Kiev regime of longer range missiles that can hit Moscow or St. Petersburg.
The first step that's going to be implemented is the introduction of the pre-emptive nuclear strike in Russian defence doctrine, highly likely the pre-emptive nuclear strike will be a option in case of serious threat to Russian territorial integrity, so a Kursk stunt but on a larger scale will automatically lead to the usage of tactical nuclear weapons on enemy territory, "automatically" will mean there won't be anyone that's going to push back if the situation outlined in the new defence doctrine is clearly unfolding.
The second step is going to be convenientional missile strikes on NATO facilities in NATO territory. Infrastructures on enemy territory that are strategically relevant in the ongoing war against Russia are going to be hit repeatedly to make them unusable and to outbalance and overstretch NATO's missile defence capabilities.
The third step is to increase support to all groups fighting for the liberation of their countries from NATO/Western occupation using the African successful campaign as model and extending it to many more places all over the world.
The history of the last 30 years has shown that NATO/EU existence is incompatible with Russian national security so the overall war (not the SMO) will end only with the collapse of the rotten Western totalitarian system and all its institutions or with the dismemberment of the Russian Federation. As we always said the negotiations in this situation are 100% impossible. Chances are 0 at this stage.

"Maxim, I'm here. Mom" — a resident of the DPR left such a message to her son in the courtyard of her house.
RT military correspondent Andrey Filatov @filatovcorr told the touching story of the woman's rescue.
Maxim wrote to him on Telegram, asked him to find and evacuate his mother, who remained in Krasnogorovka, where the fighting is taking place. Their own house burned down, the dog was shot by Ukrainian security guards. He did not know where his mother was.
The operators of the UAV of the Storm detachment of the 110th brigade surveyed the territory and saw the woman's message to her son. They sent her a note in which they asked her to either try to go out in the direction of Krasnogorovka, or wait for our military inside the basement.
The woman remained in place, and masked the inscription for her own safety. But after a few days, AFU troops began to break into the house and decided to use it as a firing point. Some of them were neutralized, two managed to enter the house.
Then the fighters of the "Storm" units reached the house and evacuated Maxim's mother on an electric motorcycle.

"Ukraine will hold out for another 3-4 months." Former CIA analyst on the depressing state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defence.
According to Larry Johnson, Kiev loses about 2,300 militants on the front lines every day.
The analyst believes that Ukraine will not be able to hold out for long with such a level of personnel loss and will not survive as a state if the Russian Federation continues military operations with the same intensity.
Russia is not just liberating, it is pushing the Ukrainians back at a serious pace, and the city of Pokrovsk itself is waiting for the Russians. With such an offensive trend, the fighting could end before the new year,

This is business as usual. [Ukrainian counteroffensive in Russia, i.e. Ukraine's invasion of Russia] This is not a surprise. It's the kind of desperate action that usually accompanies total military collapse. Near the end of World War II, Germany was also forced to take similar offensive actions.
