Zelensky Claims Success As Ukrainian Forces Advance: 'Full Security Is Being Restored!'

EXPRESS UK | By Sean Meleady | 9/14/2022 — PART 2

Moscow captured Malitopol in early March and its recapture by Kyiv would allow Ukraine to disrupt Russian supply lines between the southern and Donbas regions the main areas where Moscow backed forces control.

British intelligence reports claim that one of Russia's main forces, the 1st Guards Tank Army, had been "severely degraded" during what the Kremlin refers to as its "special military operation" in Ukraine. They also argued that conventional Russian forces designed to counter NATO had also suffered severe setbacks. They said: "It will likely take years for Russia to rebuild this capability."

Abbas Gallyamov, an independent Russian political analyst and former speechwriter for Vladimir Putin said these military setbacks might encourage the Kremlin to renew efforts at peace talks. However, Mr Gallyamov warned that even if Russia is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict, Mr Zelensky has made it clear that Moscow must return all Ukrainian territories it currently occupies, including Crimea which it controversially annexed in 2014.

Experts have warned that, despite the current Ukrainian advances, momentum has switched back and forth before and that Vladimir Putin still has more resources and troops available to deploy. In Washington, US President Joe Biden said it was clear that Ukraine had made "significant progress".

However, Mr Biden stopped short of claiming that Kyiv's recent successes indicated a turning point in the war commenting "the question is unanswerable, it's hard to tell". "I think it's going to be a long haul," he added.

The Russian army shoots down an American plane in the Black Sea... and penetrates further into Ukrainian territory This episode presents the full details of the downing of the American MQ Reaper 9 drone by the Russian Air Force over the Black Sea near Crimea. The episode refers to the complete scenarios for the march's fall through data issued by the US Department of Defense (The Pentagon) a few hours ago, confirming that a Russian Su-27 fighter intercepted the march and forced its remote controllers to shoot it down in the Black Sea. In addition, the episode refers to the developments of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as the Russian Wagner forces continue to advance in the Bakhmut axis, as a prelude to storming the city. Reports also said that Wagner began to expand its attacks also towards the strategic axis of Liman, and against the cities of Kramatorsk and Slaviansk. And this at a time when Ukrainian military sources confirmed the intention of the Ukrainian army to launch a counter-attack on the Russian forces in early April.

I had the privilege of knowing her since 2017-18. Amazing person. She was so articulate, funny, caring, generous, gracious, and so much more. It hurt deep in my soul hearing the news via her husband. I can’t make it make sense how such pure malice can exist in the world, but Diana persevered her whole life, and was the one light in the darkness that gave you hope. For the good people in your life, it is never “Goodbye,” but “See you later.” Rest easy, Diana. Slava Ukraini.

I wanted to make this post last year but I got caught up in events (plus I couldn't find back my sources). But given the recent international events have completely turned away most media's attention from the Russian war on Ukraine, I thought it was finally time to make this post.

Because I want to talk about something truly crazy. Something that shows how deep Russia's distortion, warping and twisting of the Christian religion went - and how back there, we're back to the times of holy inquisitions.

Many people have covered the fact that the propaganda of Putin over Russia isn't just mediatic and politic but also religious. There were many viral reports and TV reports and investigations about how the higher-ups of the Russian Orthodox Church were in Putin's pocket, openly shared Putinist propaganda during their religious offices, declared that the war against Ukraine was a "holy war" that God wanted, that Putin was merely the agent and arm of God - there was this whole thing about the Patriarch blessing the weapons of the Russian soldiers sent to the front, and about him explicitely saying that the Devil and/or the Antichrist was in Ukraine.

But there is something that is even bigger and more shocking than that, and that shows how in Russia war = religion. It is a building: the Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces.

The building of this cathedral started in 2018, but it was only completed in 2020. The cathedral is technically a religious building, but the main reason of its existence is to celebrated the "various military feats of Russia", chief among which - the Russian victory over the Nazis during World War II. The completion of the cathedral was done on the Victory Day celebrating the Soviet Union crushing the Nazis ; and it was opened on the "Day of Remembrance and Sorrow" (a commemoration of when the Nazis turned against the Soviet Union and tried to march over it). There's something about "the resurrection of Christ" in there, but let's be honest, this was built exclusively for and around war.

This building is absolutely grandiose, without a doubt - and its beauty and enormity is a proof of Russia's dedication to its unique mix of religion and military matters. In fact it was considered one of the great monuments of Russia... until the Ukrainian attacks made people reconsider what this symbol ACTUALLY meant.

And the thing with this building is that it was FILLED with carefully-thought war symbolism. For example, take the main dome's diameter: 19,45 meters... To symbolize the year when World War II stopped (1945). [Another source rather claims that the dome's diameter is 22,43 meters but it doesn't change the symbol: the Nazi capitulation was signed at 22h43]. There is a small dome that is 14,18 meters in height - because the conflict between the Nazis and the Soviet Union lasted 1 418 days and nights. And the belfry is 75 meters tall... because 75 years had passed between 2020 and the end of World War II. By the way, did you know that when Russians talk of the end of World War II and how they helped defeat the Nazis, they do not speak of the "World War"? No, they rather speak of "the end of the Great Patriotic War". Because the conflict between the USSR and the Nazis wasn't part of any world conflict, oh no! It was just one specific war against the patry - aka Russia. The total height of the Church is a reference to Saint Vladimir's (the one who Christianized the Rus lands) birth date, etc etc...

Things get better - the steps and floors of the cathedral are made of metal. Metal made from the melted war trophies taken from the Nazis - their weapons an their tanks for example. As such, the Russians will forever walk on the remains of their old ennemies. The church's saints are carefully chosen as the patron-saints of the Russian military: saint Elijah the Prophet, saint Barbara, saint Fyodor Ushakov... All organized in the four sections of the church, each dedicated to a different branch of the army; ground forces, navy, aerospace military and strategic missile forces. There's a lot of depictions of Jesus wielding a sword too.

And then we go to the mosaics... Ah, the mosaics! These mosaics are not about the history of Christianity, but about the military history of Russia, each one depicting a great battle or a great Russian victory. You have several depictions of the orders of the Red Army overthrowing the Imperial forces in Russia, you also have depictions of the Soviet (or Communist) successes during World War II of course - there's the Battle of Stalingrad, there's the Reichstag fire... You also have more recent depictions of soldiers, with a kalashnikov in their hands... And of course, the latest mosaic depicting the latest "Russian military success" at the date of the Cathedral's fundation: the annexation of Crimea.

This mosaic was in fact part of a dual scandal, before while the Cathedral was built, two images were leaked of two intended mosaics - one for the Crimea annexation and one for the (exclusively Soviet of course) victory over the Nazis in World War II (sorry, "The Great Patriotic War"). And the scandal was because on the latter Stalin was depicted, and on the former it was Putin who was on the mosaic. There was a big outcry, and ultimately the artists of the cathedral decided to remove the faces of Putin and Stalin... But not before asking for Putin's opinion first, and then - this is very symbolic - their faces were replaced by icons.

Yeah all of this is kind of overwhelming - but one has to remember that in Russia, the Orthodox Church is on the same level as the various ministeries of Putin. The Patriarch Kirill, who consecrated the cathedral, has as such openly supported Putin's war and politics - invited and present at all of Putin's government meetings alongside his various ministers, the Patiarch has also placed in his sermons the exact same slogans and words used by the televisual Russian propaganda. In spring 2022, he held a whole sermon about how the Russian people had to stand together as brothers again the treacherous and wicked West - and added that the reason the Donbas distrusted the Russian Orthodox Church was because of the "vile phenomenon" of the Gay Pride - and added that it was against the corruption of the West, and the anti-religious "gay propaganda", that Russia was fighting - that it was to eliminate THIS that they threw bombs over Ukraine.

Speaking of that I almost forgot! Very recently the cathedral added a new stained glass to its windows... One made with broken glass shards from Mariupol, collected during the Russian attack.

And let's not forget how the Patriarch promised to absolve all the Russians sent to the front who would die on the battlefield against the Ukrainians (the SAME kind of words that were used in the Middle-Ages for the crusades!) - because, and I quote, "such a sacrifice will cleanse you of all human sin". And at the beginning of 2023 (if I recall well), the Patriarch went as far as to say that if Russia didn't win this war, "someone" (he didn't specify who) but SOMEONE would appear "with the intentions of dominating, and then destroying the world" (aka, the Antichrist). This was later backed up by Dmitry Medvedev, who added that the real goal of the war against Ukrainian was to "stop the supreme leader of Hell" (and this time he dropped names, but several at once - Satan, Lucifer, Iblis).

We are literaly back to medieval crusades and to the crazy witch-hunts. Russian propagandists will stop at nothing to convince people that everything is evil outside of Russia.

"But..." you're going to say, "Not all Orthodox Russian priests can be falling for this crap!". And indeed you are right, there are priests in the Russian Orthodox Church that called out the fact Christianity was about peace, not war. The problem is that the higher-ups of the Church have started a hunt for all priests that advocate for peace rather than war - and they simply kick them out of the Church and revoke their status as priests. The Orthodox priests who refuse to see their faith turned into political propaganda are forced to flee into other Orthodox countries to maintain their status as priests.

There is this pretty famous psychologist I used to watch on Youtube until one incident. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion he made a video dedicated to people going through acute war-related stress and trauma (honestly, great initiative, props to him). But what pushed me away from his content forever is that he was adressing ukrainians and russians, figuratively putting on the same scales people hiding in the bomb shelters and living in occupation & people living in peaceful european cities who had their ego hurt becuase they were being treated slightly worse than usual for 5 minutes.

Today I went back to check the comments of that video, to see if there was anyone sharing my feelings, and I think the top comments are the best illustration of how we really live in two different worlds.

#ukraine #russia #war in ukraine #russian invasion of ukraine #russo ukrainian war #sorry not sorry. being blocked by your friends on instagram will never be comparable with trying to survive a seige of a city.#i am so tired of people forcing us with russians to be in the same box

The Coordinating Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War reported that 80 men and 20 women were released. Nine are officers, all the rest are privates and sergeants.

Almost half of them are seriously injured, sick or have been tortured. The youngest is 19 years old.

UKRAINIANS BLOW MULTIPLE RUSSIAN SU-35 FIGHTER JETS OUT OF THE SKY

According to Newsweek, Russia has lost two dozen expensive Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker E fighter jets thus far in its war on Ukraine. And by “lost,” I mean Ukrainian forces blew them out of the sky. This is forcing the Russian Air Force to switch over to the older (they had their first flight in 1967) and less sophisticated Sukhoi 24M Fencer bomber aircraft. Oh, when I mentioned the Flanker Es are…
