Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced on Tuesday that 87,000 troops out of the 300,000 recruited in the context of partial mobilization were sent to destination areas in southeastern Ukraine.

The Minister of Defense indicated that some 3,000 instructors, who had received combat experience during the hostilities around Ukraine, trained the mobilized men, according to the Rossiya 24 channel.

During its preparation, the main efforts were focused on field training, the ability to use communication, navigation and reconnaissance equipment, the minister noted.

Likewise, the minister pointed out that combat vehicle and tank crews, artillerymen, snipers, drone specialists, electronic warfare and others are trained in the training centers.

Shoigu once again drew the attention of the commanders of the country’s military regions and the Northern Fleet to the need to use the units formed in conjunction with the troops already participating in the special military operation.

The head assured that exhaustive measures are being taken to avoid the death of Ukrainian citizens, concluded Shoigú.

“A 40-meter piece of pipe was ripped off, the pipes were 250 meters apart, one piece bent 90 degrees and fell into part of the North Stream; there is no doubt that it is a terrorist act,” he pointed out.

Putin stressed that details of the incident had been discovered by investigators from the Russian energy company Gazprom, who were eventually admitted to the blast site.

Sweden, in whose special economic zone the accident occurred, had previously refused to involve Russia in the investigation, hiding behind the fact that the information on the events “is subject to confidentiality directly related to national security.”

Russian president explains why the grain transport agreement was suspended

Russian President Vladimir Putin participated in a press conference after his meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, aimed at finding a solution to the conflict over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

In his statements, the Russian president addressed the suspension of Moscow’s participation in the agreement for the transport of wheat and other agricultural products from Ukrainian ports after the massive attack launched this Saturday with drones against its ships in the Sevastopol Bay ( Crimea).

Putin stated that Moscow is suspending its participation in the agreement until Ukraine guarantees the safety of ships in the Black Sea.

In his words, “the unsuccessful attack that Ukraine launched against ships of the Black Sea Fleet” was carried out by drones “both underwater and aerial” that partly flew over the corridor through which grain is transported from Ukraine.

“In this way, they created a threat both to our ships, which must ensure the safety of grain exports, and to the civilian ships involved,” he said.

The president emphasized that if kyiv attacked civilian vessels, Russia would be accused of the aggression, since it is responsible for guaranteeing their safety.

“We are not saying that we are ending our participation in this operation; no, we are saying that we are interrupting it,” Putin said, stressing that Ukraine must ensure that there are no threats to Russian civilian and military ships.

According to the Russian president, the UN should carry out “additional work” with kyiv so that Ukraine “guarantees the security of this corridor.”

Citing reliable sources from several countries, including Ukraine, the RIA Novosti agency assures that, under the direction of Western supervisors, work began on the production of these artifacts, which are already in their final phase and would be in charge of the Research Institute kyiv nuclear and uranium enrichment plant in the city of Zhióltye Vody, Dnepropetrovsk region.

According to the information provided by the media, Ukraine’s purpose in resorting to these practices is to blame Russia for the use of weapons of mass destruction in the framework of its special operation in that territory.

That situation would further undermine confidence in Moscow and sharpen the anti-Russian campaign from the West, where they raise the possibility of depriving Russia of the status of a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Moscow will raise the issue of Ukraine’s preparations to create a dirty bomb at the UN.
“We have concrete information about those scientific institutes that have technologies that allow the creation of this dirty bomb. We have information, which we have re-examined through the appropriate channels, that it is not an empty suspicion, that there are serious reasons to believe that this kind of thing may be planned,” Lavrov said during a press conference in Moscow.

The head of Russian diplomacy affirmed that Moscow has already taken “the necessary steps” to address the matter in international organizations, after the telephone conversations that the Russian Defense Minister held on Sunday with his counterparts from France, the United Kingdom, Turkey and USA

He also maintained that Russia expects an “interested” and “professional” debate about this threat.

The Russian Defense Ministry warned of the possible consequences of a provocation with a dirty bomb explosion. If that scenario were to materialize, thousands of square kilometers would be contaminated by radioactive substances.

According to the Russian military body, the Ukrainian authorities would plan to sow fear in the civilian population, causing new flows of migrants to Europe and presenting Russia as a “nuclear errorist”. The head of the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, Igor Kirillov, assured on Monday that kyiv has both the potential and the motives to use a dirty bomb. He stressed that two entities in Ukraine are in charge of manufacturing the explosive and that the work is in its final phase.

Kirillov specified that Moscow has information regarding contacts between the Ukrainian presidential office and representatives of the United Kingdom on the possibility of obtaining technologies to create nuclear weapons. Kirillov stressed that kyiv has the production capacity and scientific potential in this field.

Specifically, he mentioned three nuclear power plants under the control of kyiv with nine pools with spent nuclear fuel. Likewise, he referred to the nuclear waste that is preserved in the Chernobyl plant. Meanwhile, more than 50,000 cubic meters of nuclear waste may be moved to the Pridniprovskiy chemical plant in the Dnepropetrovsk region for possible use in a dirty bomb.

Kirillov stressed that, according to kyiv’s plans, the explosion of such an explosive could be “masked as an abnormal detonation of a low-power Russian nuclear warhead using highly enriched uranium as a charge.”
He added that the presence of radioactive isotopes would be registered by the trackers of the international monitoring system installed in Europe, which would allow Moscow to be accused of resorting to its tactical nuclear arsenal.
Ukraine denied Russia’s accusations in talks with the United States and France.

“The fact that there is distrust of the information provided by the Russian side does not mean that the threat of the use of a dirty bomb does not exist. The threat is real”, said the spokesman for the Russian Presidency, Dmitri Peskov.

Information war based on the experience of the White Helmets

From the Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops of the Russian Armed Forces they recalled that “similar information warfare technologies” had already been used by the West in Syria through the controversial organization of the White Helmets, which filmed stagings on alleged uses of chemical weapons by the country’s army.

Kirillov alluded to the provocation perpetrated by this group on April 4, 2017 in the city of Khan Sheikhun. The military official drew attention to the photos taken at the site, in which the White Helmets are seen taking soil samples without wearing any protection. “But that doesn’t seem to confuse anyone,” he said.

Turkey and Russia start bilateral trade in their national currencies
Trade between Russia and Turkey using their respective national currencies has started “at full speed”, said the head of the Turkish Patriotic Party’s Economic Policies office, Hakan Topkurulu.
All trade between the two countries is conducted in Russian rubles, and the system works “smoothly through the established network,” Topkurulu wrote in an article published in the Aydinlik daily on Saturday.

According to the author of the text, the US dollar has been expelled from Russian-Turkish bilateral trade and the US “has no chance to intervene” in the system. In addition, he considered that, with its sanctions policy, Washington is “cutting the branch on which it is sitting.”

“The dollar, accepted as the world reserve currency, no longer exists in trade between Turkey and Russia,” he added.

The politician emphasized that Ankara will promote a “liraization” policy to strengthen the Turkish lira and “deactivate the dollar, which has established itself in Turkey’s economy like the tentacles of an octopus.”
Other countries like China and Iran also use their respective currencies in trade with Russia and other nations.

According to Roscosmos, the 3 Gonets-M satellites and the Skif-2 satellite are already in orbit.

The space agency Roscosmos specified that this is the first launch of a carrier rocket of the Soyuz-2 group, loaded with a new ecological fuel called naphthyl. It is a hydrocarbon-based fuel with polymer additives that will increase the payload carried into space and reduce harmful emissions.

Likewise, the Skif-D demonstration satellite is designed to work on new technical solutions for high-speed Internet access and the protection of the orbital frequency resource. Meanwhile, the Gonets-M satellites serve to organize mobile satellite communication, collect and transmit data from industrial and ecological monitoring sensors, as well as determine the location of moving objects.

The Sfera program is a global multifunctional communication system, announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2018. It involves the launch of hundreds of communications and remote sensing satellites. Thus, within the framework of the project, 5 fleets of satellites will be launched that will provide telecommunications services, and another 5 that will provide surveillance services.

By 2030, 638 satellites are expected to be launched into orbit, including 334 communications, 249 remote sensing and 55 navigation.

Roscosmos indicated that the total weight of the four satellites carried by Soyuz-2.1b is equivalent to one ton, reports the Interfax agency.

The former president of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, accused the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Thomas Bach, of blackmailing Russian athletes.

In an interview with Corriere della Sera newspaper last week, Bach said athletes from Russia could compete under neutral status if they “distance themselves” from Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.

“Once again, sports and politics are mixed. This is a kind of blackmail to which in no case should one succumb,” said Zhúkov, quoted by RIA Novosti, describing Bach’s statements as “provocative”.

“I hope none of our athletes take that step. At least everyone I asked said unequivocally that they would not,” he added.

State Duma Chairman Viacheslav Volodin noted that the number of Russian territorial subjects amounted to 89.

The politician commented on his Telegram channel that “the entry of the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhie and Kherson people’s republics into the Russian Federation is the only way to save the lives of millions of people from the criminal regime in kyiv. Stop the bombing of the civilian population, the elderly, women and children. Protect the right to one’s mother tongue, culture, history and one’s faith.”

Both chambers of the Russian parliament must ratify the accession of the new territories. The upper house, the Federation Council, will vote on the incorporation documents on Tuesday.

According to the ratified documents, two republics and two regions or oblasts will be formed, which will retain their current names and whose leaders will hold the rank of governors.

The Russian Constitutional Court confirmed on October 2, in four court rulings, that the incorporation documents meet the requirements of the constitution.

“The damage suffered by the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in international waters of the Baltic Sea is very worrying. All currently available information indicates that it is the result of deliberate, reckless and irresponsible acts of sabotage,” reads the bloc’s statement. military.

The alliance pointed out risks to navigation and considerable environmental damage as a result of the act.

“We support the ongoing investigations to determine the origin of the damage,” he said before expressing his commitment to deterrence and defense “against the coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors.”

Meanwhile, the German security organs recognized today the possibility of large explosions as the cause of leaks registered in pipes of the Russian North Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines.

To create such a magnitude of damage, explosives equivalent to 500 kilograms of TNT had to be used, says the daily Der Spiegel. This is also based on several seismic monitoring centers, says the publication.

The company North Stream AG referred last Tuesday to unprecedented destruction in the three pipes of the aforementioned gas pipelines, indicated Berlin television.

Even the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who advocates suspending purchases of hydrocarbons from Russia, had to describe these incidents as sabotage.

Von der Leye stressed that the willful violation of Europe’s energy infrastructure was unacceptable and would lead to the most severe response measures, she stated.

The Russian Embassy in the United States commented this Thursday on its social networks the attempts of some US legislators to blame Russia for the incidents that occurred in the Nord Stream gas pipelines, highlighting that, in reality, there are facts that may indicate the opposite.

Thus, he mentioned the activity of US warships a day before there is a failure in the Russian infrastructure there, as well as the US Navy exercises with underwater explosives that were carried out in the Same area a while ago.

In this way, the Embassy raised the question: “Who benefits from the rupture of the gas pipelines?”. According to the legation, “the answer is on the surface.”

On the same day, the spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, María Zajárova, assured that the emergencies in the Nord Stream gas transportation system took place in an area controlled by the United States secret services.

“It’s the commercial and economic zone of Denmark and Sweden, and these are two very NATO-focused countries that are riddled with American weapons, these are the same countries that are completely controlled by American intelligence services. They are absolutely and precisely under the control of the US intelligence services, which are in total control of the situation there,” he said.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov recalled on Wednesday the statements made by US President Joe Biden last February, when he promised that he would put an end to Nord Stream 2.

In this regard, Zajárova maintained that the US president “is obliged to answer the question of whether the United States carried out its threat on September 25 and 26, 2022.”

The spokeswoman stressed that “the declaration of intent was backed by a promise” and that “one has to take responsibility for his words.” “Not understanding what is said does not exempt from responsibility. Europe must know the truth!”, she concluded.

In addition, the spokeswoman announced that Moscow intends to convene a meeting of the UN Security Council to deal with the issue of breakdowns.
The news about the leaks did not take long to generate all kinds of reactions.

“As we say in Polish, a small thing, but a lot of joy,” former Polish Foreign Minister and current MEP Radoslaw Sikorski wrote on his Twitter account.

He also retweeted a video from the first days of February in which US President Joe Biden threatened to end Nord Stream 2. “If Russia invades (Ukraine)… then there will be no Nord Stream 2. We will end it.” said the president.

Finally, he published another tweet with the comment: “Thank you, USA”, along with a photo showing the size of the leak on the surface of the Baltic Sea. “Is it an official statement of a terrorist attack?” María Zajárova reacted on her Telegram account, after Sikorski’s publications.

The new import bans on Russian goods, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, will deprive Moscow of an additional €7 billion ($6.7 billion) in revenue. In addition, new prohibitions on the export of key technology used for the army, such as aviation products, electronic components and specific chemical substances, are incorporated.

In announcing the sanctions, von der Leyen noted that “some developing countries still need some supplies of Russian oil, but at low prices,” and therefore the G7 countries agreed to introduce a price cap. of Russian crude.

“This is why the G7 has agreed in principle to introduce a cap on Russian oil prices for third countries. This cap will, on the one hand, help reduce Russia’s income and, on the other hand, keep global energy markets stable,” Von der Leyen said, adding that the current sanctions package lays “the legal foundation for this cap on oil prices”.

Members of the Group of Seven (G7), made up of the UK, US, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, have already agreed to introduce caps on Russian oil prices on September 2.

The cap on the price of Russian oil is in line with the political agreement reached by the G7 leaders, proposing that the transport of Russian oil and its derivatives be only allowed globally if the products are sold below a certain amount.

The prohibition for EU citizens to be part of the boards of directors of companies is designed to avoid possible cases such as that of former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who worked for Gazprom.

“Russia must not benefit from European knowledge and its experts,” said von der Leyen.

The high representative of the EU for Foreign Policy and Security, Josep Borrell, revealed that the number of natural and legal persons subject to the bloc’s punitive measures will amount to about 1,300, and among them there are individuals and entities that contribute to that the “territorial integrity of Ukraine” is undermined.

The sanctions will target Russian individuals and authorities in Russian-controlled areas who organized referendums on joining Russia in two republics of Donbass and the Kherson and Zaporozhie regions.

In addition, Borrell proposes to appoint the top officials of the Russian Defense Ministry responsible for supporting the country’s army in Ukraine with weapons and equipment, as well as the declared mobilization of 300,000 reservists.

In the category of economic actors, people, not necessarily Russians, who participate in the circumvention of sanctions will be included, Borrell said.

The European Commission’s announcement comes after the leaders of Lugansk and the Kherson and Zaporozhie regions asked Vladimir Putin to join Russia after holding referendums on accession, which took place from September 23 to 27.

Moscow: Russian oil only for countries operating under market conditions
From the Kremlin they warned that Moscow will send its crude only to countries that “operate under market conditions”, and that supplies that do not go to nations that support price limits will go to “alternative destinations”.

The cap on the price of Russian oil is in line with the political agreement reached by the G7 leaders, proposing that the transport of Russian oil and its derivatives be only allowed globally if the products are sold below a certain amount.

EU countries will stop importing Russian oil by pipeline from December 5.

Leaders of Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye ask Putin to join Russia
The leader of the Lugansk People’s Republic (PLR), Leonid Pásechnik, the head of the Regional Civil-Military Administration of the Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, and the representative of the Zaporozhye region, Yevgueni Balitski, addressed this Wednesday to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, with the request to incorporate the territories into Russia.

“Since the population of the republic approved the decision in the referendum, I ask you to consider the possibility of the Lugansk People’s Republic becoming part of Russia as a constituent entity of the Russian Federation,” said the LPR leader.

In his speech to Putin, Passechnik noted that the RPL is aware of its historical, cultural and spiritual ties with the people of Russia.

The senior official denounced that “for eight years, residents of the Lugansk People’s Republic have been subjected to brutal bombing and genocide by the kyiv regime.”

“In their impotent rage at their unsuccessful attempts to invade the territory of the Luhansk People’s Republic and their failures in open combat with the republic’s defenders, the neo-Nazis have only intensified their terror and bombardment of civilian infrastructure. and industrial, destroying schools, hospitals and nurseries,” he said.

According to Pásechnik, most of the world is “silent” about what is happening in Donbass.

“Not a single state or international organization has condemned kyiv’s actions in Donbass,” he continued, adding that only Russia “has provided and continues to provide extensive assistance to the population of Donbass.”

For his part, Saldo stressed that “the people of Kherson province have decided courageously and unequivocally that the only path they want to follow is that of union with Russia as an integral part of their multinational people.”

“Today, when freedom of thought, expression, conscience and religion is in danger of being eradicated in favor of centrally imposed values ​​that are often contrary not only to reason but also to nature itself, we, the people of Zaporozhie For the sake of our common goal of guaranteeing peace and security, the rule of human rights and freedoms, we want to become a single state with the Russian Federation”, says Balitski’s petition to the Russian president.

In the referendums, which took place from 8:00 a.m. (local time) on Friday, September 23, to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 27, the voters of the people’s republics of Donbass and the regions of Kherson and Zaporozhie voted for Please join Russia.

93.11% of voters in Zaporozhie and 87.05% in Kherson voted yes to being part of Russia. In the Lugansk and Donets republics, 98.42% and 99.23% of voters voted affirmatively.

The process of integrating new regions into the Russian Federation can take some time, as it requires the approval of the president and parliament.

However, last Friday the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, was convinced that the necessary steps will be taken “quickly enough”.

Russians withdraw from the Dakar 2023 due to the demand to condemn their country
The Russian team KAMAZ-Master will not participate in the next Dakar rally after announcing that it will not sign the documents that would force it to “denounce” its own country.

Thus, for the first time in 24 years, the famous annual competition will not have Russian representation.

In a statement published on the KAMAZ-Master website, the 19-time rally-winning team criticized the decision of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), which allows the Russians to participate neutrally, but on the condition to sign certain documents that include statements about the conflict in Ukraine.

“The participation of Russian athletes in the Dakar rally is conditioned by the need to sign the FIA ​​questionnaire denouncing the Russian special operation in Ukraine. In our opinion, the content of this document is of a political nature and violates the principles of equal conditions for athletes.

“We consider that it is impossible for us to sign those documents and participate in the competitions in those conditions,” the message reads.

The drivers indicate that their position “is clear: always be with the country, especially when it finds itself in a difficult situation.”

Last March, the FIA ​​required Russian and Belarusian drivers to sign a declaration of commitment to the principles of peace and political neutrality that includes a clause of solidarity with Ukraine.

The move was announced amid broader restrictions imposed on Russian sport by various sports federations, which followed a stern rebuke of Russia by the International Olympic Committee.

Earlier this month, Russian drivers Sergei Karyakin and Anastasia Nifontova condemned the requirement, announcing that they will not take part in the 45th edition of the Dakar to be held in Saudi Arabia between December 31, 2022 and January 15, 2023.

Meanwhile, co-driver Konstantin Zhiltsov chose an alternative option by changing his sporting nationality and will participate in the Dakar under the Israeli flag, evading the restrictions.

“To guarantee the security of our people and of the people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff to carry out a partial mobilization,” the president said in a message to the nation.

He explained that in this military service only those who are part of the reserve, have served in the Armed Forces and have relevant skills and experience will be recruited.

The partial mobilization, whose decree was already published by the Kremlin, would begin this Wednesday, September 21.

Putin communicated this decree hours after the self-proclaimed people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, as well as the Ukrainian regions of Kherson and Zaporozhie, announced that they will hold referendums with the purpose of joining Russia.

The Russian head of state reiterated that the main objectives of the special operation in Ukraine, which began on February 24, remain the same: “to protect people who have been subjected to abuse, to the genocide of the kyiv regime for eight years”.

“Their main objectives, the liberation of the entire territory of Donbas, have been and will be the same,” he said.

He detailed that the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Lugansk was almost completely liberated from neo-Nazis, while fighting continues in Donetsk, regions that comprise the Donbas area.

Ukraine has lost half its army
After Putin’s message, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu offered statements in which he revealed that “Ukraine has already lost half the army, with 61,207 dead and 49,368 wounded, against Russia’s 5,937.”

The official stressed that his country “is fighting not only with Ukraine, but with the Western collective,” adding that in this partial mobilization, some 300,000 reservists will be called up.

The day before, the Russian Defense Ministry said that it provided the Convention on Biological and Toxin Weapons (BTWC) based in Geneva, Switzerland, material evidence proving that the United States developed biomilitary programs in Ukraine.

“Between September 5 and 9, a summit was held in your country, convened after the US and Ukraine violated two articles of the CABT, and only representatives of 89 nations attended, of the 184 signatories, who received copies of the documents that demonstrate the execution of such acts”, explained the head of the Russian Radiological, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces, Igor Kirillov.

He also stated that none of those present doubted the authenticity of the documents provided, with data on the accumulation of pathogens in Ukrainian laboratories, including the Mechnikov Epidemic Research Institute, where dangerous biomaterials were housed in the cracks of the stairs and no control system had detected them.

“The Ukrainian side completely ignored questions about the unjustified storage of dangerous biological agents at the facility and the revealed serious violations of the conditions of their accumulation,” Kirilov said in this regard.

Likewise, the Russian side determined that despite the fact that the United States declared that its program in Ukraine sought to monitor infectious diseases by employing citizens belonging to the lower strata of society and patients with psychiatric pathologies, it was actually seeking to accumulate biological potential with military purposes.

“The explanations of the US and Ukraine were not at all convincing when it comes to the extraction of strains and biomaterials from Ukrainian citizens, as well as compliance with ethical standards when conducting studies on military, poor civilians, as well as one of the strata of most vulnerable population: patients in psychiatric clinics,” Kirillov stressed.

The Russian high command also reported that both the US and Ukraine refused to give explanations related to the urgent destruction of documents on biomilitary activities in Ukraine, and were also unable to prove that their collaboration in this area in the last 15 years improved the situation. healthcare of Ukraine.

The Russian side also referred to the pressure exerted by the US on the member countries of the BTWC, who were required to sign a joint declaration on the alleged peaceful nature of the program, aimed at reducing challenges of biological origin.

Russian proposals to strengthen the BTWC
The Russian soldier also said that his country has proposed three actions to strengthen the CABT, first of all a verification mechanism, the establishment of a scientific committee and the presentation of reports on foreign biological activities.

Likewise, Russia proposes to establish a collective scientific committee with geographical representation and equal rights for the participants, obeying the “principle of 10″, according to which agreements must respect alternative points of view, even if they are expressed by a single State.

Kirilov assured that Russia will take measures to closely monitor the situation, noting that the US builds laboratories on the borders of its opponents, collects strains of dangerous microorganisms in some regions and tests harmful substances on humans.
