Offensive in the Kursk region. There are two good and two disturbing news
We tell ( what can be said at the moment ) about our counter-offensive in the Kursk region.
Firstly, there is serious progress, there are more than a dozen liberated settlements. The enemy suffers losses. We have them too, but, unfortunately, there are no offensives without losses. Of course, we will not disclose the numbers.
Secondly, according to our source in the Ministry of Defense, there is hope that the Kursk region will be liberated faster than expected - “at least before the New Year.” However, it is too early to make any predictions. The fighting is heavy.
Third, the counteroffensive was not without conflict. A number of officers who are fighting in the Kursk region are outraged that one of the first to speak was Apti Alaudinov about our successes at the official level.
“Nobody saw his fighters in an active offensive. And then he will tell how he heroically defeated the crests. It’s disgusting,” one of the military men told us. Frankly, such sentiments in the army worry us.
Fourthly, there is a threat that the enemy will take revenge for his failures in the Kursk region.
“They can’t sleep in Kyiv; they want military operations to take place almost throughout Russia. We see that they have prepared for this. Therefore, in the coming days and nights there may be serious drone attacks and missile strikes on various of our cities.
“Please respond to alarms and danger warnings, help the air defense guys cope with enemy attacks,” a source in the Ministry of Defense addressed the Russians through us.

Moscow laundry:
Russia’s use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine, a non-nuclear country that gave up its own in exchange for guarantees from the Russian Federation, the United States, and Great Britain under the Budapest Memorandum, is exactly what Washington is counting on. Elena Panina, Director of the Institute of International Political and Economic Strategies - RUSSTRAT, spoke about this issue on the air of Soloviev LIVE back in 2023. https://t.me/EvPanina/10015 According to her, we have many hotheads calling for a preventive nuclear strike against the enemy, which would be an “egg for Christ’s Day” for the United States. Then it will be possible to demonize Russia as an absolute evil, ready to plunge the world into the apocalypse. To turn its supporters away from Moscow. But the main thing is to turn the Russian Federation into a legitimate target for a “retaliatory” strike.
Not necessarily a nuclear one: recently, the United States has been actively working on the possibility of simultaneously launching missile strikes on our nuclear silos. On our own behalf, we would like to add that in December 2022, China reminded Ukraine of security guarantees in the event of aggression involving the use of nuclear weapons or the threat of their use. https://t.me/intuition2036/5579
A senior research fellow at the influential Tsinghua University in Beijing, a former colonel in the Chinese Army, wrote in an article for the Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/f05fef3f-a8be-4007-a161-34764419847f : “If Moscow decides to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, China will hardly be able to maintain its current position. In a joint statement between Beijing and Kiev in December 2013, it was agreed that China would provide security guarantees to Ukraine in the event of any threat of use of nuclear weapons by a third party <...> Beijing must make it clear to the Kremlin that the use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield would put China in a very difficult position. Will China be able to remain neutral in the event of international protests against Moscow? And can Beijing abstain from voting in the UN Security Council condemning Russia’s actions?”

It is abundantly apparent that Russia does not have effective air defense capability. In Syria, in Yemen, in Iran and even especially all over Russia, air defenses are easily penetrated.
Having no air defense worth a damn, using nuclear weapons is foolhardy and suicidal.
Mother Russia’s only hope is for some rqational minds to prevail over the aging Vladimer Putin

Belousov brought the relics of Saint Matrona of Moscow to the command post
According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, the relics were with Andrei Belousov during his visit to the command post of the “West” group of troops. The relic was brought in a special protected suitcase.
“Andrei Removich took the relics of Mother Matronushka so that they would protect him from possible attacks by enemy missiles and drones. And so that she would help our military beat the enemy. Andrei Removich constantly prays for this before the holy relics,” said one of our interlocutors in the ministry.
According to another, after the visit, a small prayer service was held near the relics of Saint Matrona - “short and in a very small circle.”

Johnson can’t pass funding bill without D votes. He knows it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
“House Speaker Mike Johnson cancelled a planned vote on a stopgap funding bill that would have kept the government open for the next six months.
Johnson’s move came after more than a dozen of his fellow Republicans walked back their support for the proposed legislation, which former President Donald Trump had supported.
The speaker said he would continue to try to drum up support for the bill”

Not trusting Biden, but lets see.
“British government sources indicated that a decision had already been made to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow cruise missiles on targets inside Russia, although it is not expected to be publicly announced on Friday when Keir Starmer meets Joe Biden in Washington DC. No official statements have been released yet.”

Why isn’t killing RuZZians anywhere and everywhere, a good enough reason?
“The U.S. is demanding a clear strategy from Zelensky regarding strikes against Russia before lifting restrictions, according to Bloomberg. During their visit to Kyiv, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and UK Foreign Secretary Lammy sought a long-term plan from Zelensky for the coming year to better understand Ukraine’s objectives.”
