What Is Russia's Anti-Putin 'National Republican Army'?
https://www.newsweek.com ^ | 8/22/22 | Isabel van Brugen

According to Ponomarev, the anti-Putin group authorized him to issue their "manifesto" via his Telegram channel "Rospartisan." The group describes itself as consisting of Russian activists, military members, politicians who are "now fighters and partisans."

Ponomarev said he was approached by the NRA. The group allegedly told him that it was engaged in a fight against Putin's regime. "We have established contact with NRA fighters via our Rospartisan [Telegram] channel, which covers the rising tide of resistance in Russia. Today the NRA fighters authorized me to read their manifesto."

In their purported statement, the NRA said its members oppose the war launched by Russia against neighboring Ukraine.

The NRA declared Putin "a usurper of power and a war criminal who amended the Constitution, unleashed a fratricidal war between the Slavic peoples and sent Russian soldiers to certain and senseless death." It also called officials of the Russian government and regional administrations as well as security officials "accomplices of the usurper."

The NRA said that its goal is to "overthrow" and "destroy Putin," and warned Russian officials that if they do not resign, they will be "destroyed."

The organization also declared its readiness to attack military facilities in Russia, and called on Russia's security forces and the military to lay down their arms and refuse to carry out criminal orders.

The NRA called on all Russians to join their ranks and raise the "white, blue and white flag of the new Russia instead of the disgraced tricolor."

"Wherever you are—fight like us, fight with us, fight better than us. Let's cleanse our Motherland from filth! Victory will be ours!" the NRA said, according to Ponomarev.

"I urge everyone who is prepared to fight 'Putinism' not in words, but with action, to join our ranks," he said.

“… Newsweek has not been able to verify Ilya Ponomarev’s claims”
**************************************************************
Also, Newweak has been unable to verify the claim that a giant 7 foot rabbit is following Victoria Nuland around.

A fictitious group invented to support the fake narrative that the Uke Azov woman wasn’t behind it. They didn’t mean to murder that young woman, it didn’t play well, and they needed a damage control story.

Fake news.

It is a newly created and fake group, but I’m leaning toward either the CIA folks or Chinese folks having created it. If you read through the manifesto, there are elements of nationalism and socialism laid out....which leads to an odd conclusion resembling to a 1930s German political party.

“One possibility is that those events were attacks from internal Russian dissidents or crime syndicates, or even by the FSB or other state related entities pro or anti-Putin.”

Absolutely, good point.

According to Superyacht Fan, the owner of the yacht is Russian oligarch Gennady Ayvazyan, who heads Krutrade, one of the world’s largest traders of coal. He’s also the former director of the World Coal Association, based in London.

While our hearts go out to Mr. Ayvazyan for his tragic loss, we can take comfort in the fact that he also owns a 213-foot superyacht, also called “My Saga.”

Interesting news today....

August 12 I posted this.

Intel Slava Z
🇷🇺🇺🇦 A source told the official that the largest air military operation in the last thirty years is being prepared in the next few weeks. This is the reason for the sabotage in Novofedorovka, the failed attack on Zyabrovka and the aggressive attempts of the Ukrainians to arrange a man-made disaster at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

The air operation will be carried out by massive aviation forces in close cooperation with formations and units of other branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

About a week ago I read on a post on Telegram saying that there were now 400+ planes and 300+ helos deploying on the border. I connected that with what I had a week earlier about the “largest air military operation in the last thirty years is being prepared.”

Today:

👻🇷🇺 bear network frequencies are activated , dozen’s of Kh 101 soon impact Kiev and other military targets .

Iskanders and Kalibr launches from sea also expected from other locations

Party is on

Large amounts of long range anti-aircraft systems as well as full umbrellas of SHORAD systems are being amassed in Belarus, all in range to cover Ukraine. Belarusian airfields are showing high Russian Armed Forces activity. This suggests Russia is preparing…

Looking over satellite imagery, there’s definitely unusual activity in Belarus, although we don’t see any clear indications of a “Russian Armed Forces attack on Ukraine” — at least not yet.

Belarusian military convoys have been spotted all over the country, carrying equipment to different airfields.

We can confirm unusual activity at Ziabrovka airfield which is around 40KM from the Ukrainian borders.

We saw 12x S-400 Systems with around 40 missiles for them, with more likely to be delivered based on logistics reports from Belarus. That is an unreal amount of S400s — definitely not something normal to field in one place.

Multiple KASTA 2E2 & 48Y6 Podlyot radars have also been deployed.

2x Pantsir S1 systems have also been put in service at the airfield.

Awesome video (June 25, 2022) about the massive 50 + missile barrage attack on Kiev

(switch on subtitles/captions) bomber chatting communication are not encrypted since the Cold war

On the 25th of June Russia had a missile wave (50 missiles) Here is the youtube video with English subtitles showing you the whole thing. Very coordinated and very interesting.
Remember, after the victory in the Severdonesk area Russia considered Phase 1 completed and went into an “operational pause” to rest, train and refit for Phase 2. Putin said that they hadn’t even gotten serious yet (a veiled threat that the next phase would be more intense.)

This is Ukraine’s success for the day.

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡Another terrorist attack. In the Zaporozhye region, as a result of a deliberate car bombing, the head of the VGA of the village of Mikhailovka, Ivan Sushko, died.

Ukrainian terrorists planted an explosive device under the seat of his car.
