It's No Accident

Some important information leaked from the Russians into the hands of the special services of Ukraine.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) struck a new blow at Russian ammunition depots. Firstly, it turned out that 20 km from the large warehouses in Toropets, which were blown up on September 18, there are almost all large warehouses with ammunition in the village of Oktyabrsky, the same Tver region. The AFU blew them up too. (Many thanks to the strategists from the Russian General Staff for arranging their strategic arsenals so carefully.)

In addition, warehouses with ammunition were also blown up in Tikhoretsk and the Krasnodar region. And this was also extremely painful for the Russian army because it was a warehouse, shells and missiles from which went directly to the troops. That is, it was a logistics center that Russian generals considered well-protected and remote from the front line. And now it's gone too...

I quietly suspect that such successful hits for several days in a row cannot be an accident. Some important information leaked from the Russians into the hands of the special services of Ukraine. On the other hand, I went to Google-map and what was my shock when I saw all these warehouses with my own eyes on their maps in the public domain. In the third year of the war. That's all Putin's secrecy...

This is even though the FSB puts people (including elderly scientists) in prison in packs for transferring some "secrets" to foreigners. Open your eyes, "pinkertons" or what, you have the most important state secrets in the public domain! However, let everything remain the same: warehouses explode, and imprisoned scientists (better than if they were developing any weapons for Putin).

Now, even if the image of all Russian ammunition depots is somehow removed from the maps, it will still be too late: all maps have long been copied and analyzed. And moving the warehouse itself, especially of this scale, is a long and time-consuming task. It is not for you to fly planes from one airfield to another.

You know, I like this strategy: destroy Russian weapons warehouses. Human losses are minimal, and those are mostly accidental (scold me as you like, but I also feel sorry for Russians, no matter how bad they are), but the effect is enormous: you can't win a lot without ammunition. The result is instantaneous and immediately affects the intensity of hostilities. This is even better than shooting at Russian refineries.

And the frequency of successful attacks and the remoteness of targets show that Ukraine finally has a weapon that really gives a small but hope for turning the tide. My imagination is already flying forward and drawing explosions on all Russian arsenals and the resulting end of the war...

Well, why not? If the Israelis learned to remotely detonate pagers and walkie-talkies, why not similarly detonate enemy arsenals? Drones are drones, and missiles are missiles, but somewhere these weapons are produced, somehow taken somewhere... Put a small thing in a shell or rocket and activate it at the right time... Bang Bang! He wrote nonsense, right? Well, you can't even dream of it...

The wives of the Russian "mobics" came out to protest near the building of the Ministry of Defence on the second anniversary of the "partial" mobilization. During the action, provocateurs approached them and began to insult them. But the protesters said they would stay at the building of the Ministry of Defence for the night. Instead, however, they ended up in jail.

It's a sad story But at the same time, it shows that the potential for protest in Russia is slowly growing. That's exactly what Putin fears the most. By the way, Zelensky spoke about this recently.

Sociology also shows that war fatigue is beginning to accumulate in Russia. From September 10 to 17, researchers from the Chronicles and Extreme Scan projects conducted a telephone survey, in which they talked to 800 respondents.

According to the study, 49% of respondents would support the withdrawal of troops and peace talks with Ukraine. This decision was opposed by 33% of the study participants. In addition, 63% of respondents would like Russia and Ukraine to agree on peace "with mutual concessions" in the coming year.

All this is not at all like the consolidation around Putin and the explosion of patriotism, which are reported to us by official Kremlin propagandists... It is interesting that the Kremlin, which always keeps abreast of public sentiment, tries to ignore this trend and only increases militant rhetoric.

For example, Mrs Zakharova once again officially stated that Russia is not going to participate in any second Peace Summit because it does not want to help Ukraine "drag" Zelensky's formula and, on behalf of the world majority, "present Russia with an ultimatum of surrender".

Let's hope that such a divergence of the Kremlin's policy with the vector of public sentiment in Russia will not end well for the authorities. In addition, the Kremlin creates more and more points of tension from scratch.

Take at least another round of confrontation between the Ingush people and Chechens, caused by the murder by the Chechens of two Ingush guards during the storming of the Wildberries office. The full carte blanche that Putin gave to Kadyrov will not end well for both of them. However, let it be: the worse — the better. Let them be mired in internal strife. The less strength they will have for the war.

Glory to Ukraine!
