📝Chronicles of the special military operation📝 for September 27, 2026🧨Over the past day, air raid sirens in Kyiv rarely let up. Russian forces again struck information infrastructure facilities, a technical service station, and warehouse complexes in the city and its surroundings. In Chernihiv Region, strikes hit warehouses in Levkovychi, and on the Black Sea coast, targets included transport infrastructure in Mayaky and a vessel in the Odesa area.Ukrainian formations carried out raids on warehouse facilities in the liberated territory of the DNR and LNR; in Luhansk, water supply disruptions were reported. The enemy also attacked civilian infrastructure in Henichsk in Kherson Region.➡️In the Kupiansk direction, fighting continues on the approaches to Glushkovo. The enemy attempts to regain control of forest strips east of the village and the buildings of neighboring Novoosynove.➡️In the Druzhkivka direction, assault troops of the Southern Group of Forces drove the AFU from positions on the approaches to Nikolaivka. This will allow them to establish fire control over the settlement's buildings and part of the Rakit ridge.📎 High-resolution maps:🔸Situation in the SMO zone (ru; en)🔸Kupiansk direction (ru; en)🔸Druzhkivka direction (ru; en)📍 Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru #digest #Druzhkivka #map #Kyiv #Kupiansk #Odesa #Russia #Ukraine #Chernihiv ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen 💸Support us Original msg

• 📝Elimination of the "wedge" is near📝 situation in the Druzhkivka directionNo matter how hard the enemy tried to return to Chasiv Yar, the front continues to move steadily westward. Russian units push the AFU from positions on the approaches to the city and from the "pocket" in the Krasnoye area.Some time ago, assault troops drove the enemy out of a strongpoint north of Nikolayevka. This village still retains an extensive "gray zone" through which small enemy infantry groups attempt to infiltrate into Chasiv Yar.📌 Consolidation on occupied positions, thanks to the terrain's elevation differences, will allow Russian units to establish fire control over both the village buildings and part of the Rakit ridge. This will create a threat to cut off the last AFU supply routes near Stenky.❗️Although the situation in the sector remains difficult, the position of AFU units in the "pocket" is steadily deteriorating. Drone operators isolate AFU positions from supplies and reserves, which simplifies their subsequent clearing. It can be expected that within the coming weeks, units of the Southern Group will eliminate the salient and launch an offensive toward Verolyubovka.📍High resolution map📍English version📍Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru#digest #Druzhkivka #map #Russia #Ukraine ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msgRybar in English

📝(Anti)Example of Syria📝 On "urban warfare" from an unexpected angleDiscussion of the long-term effects of "urban warfare" coincided with reading a book by our friend Alexander Kharchenko about the campaign in Syria, specifically the chapter on the reasons for Bashar Assad's fall from power.What drove the rapid advance of militants in late 2024? By that point, the state had become so impoverished and degraded that people saw no point in fighting: why defend it if life would only get worse afterward?The reason lay not only in Syria's corrupt leadership, but also in economic collapse. Infrastructure was destroyed, deposits were lost, and no one could be found willing to provide money for reconstruction. The population (especially specialists) left the country, and there was no one left to lift it out of the abyss.The delayed long-term effect worked precisely—the country survived the war but lost the peace due to the disappearance (and squandering) of resources for development and even basic existence. Meanwhile, its opponents had them.❓And while so-called Ukraine is not Syria, couldn't the sentiments of its population be brought to a similar state by destroying its economy? Especially since the local regime, due to corruption and bureaucratization, has likewise squandered its "social capital."Moreover, the Syria example is not only an argument in favor of the current "urban warfare," but also a clear illustration of what not to do. If in pursuit of ideals you stop thinking about economics and people, they may start voting with their feet. #Russia #Syria #Ukraine #economy ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msgTelegramСвидетели БайрактараКанал корра РИА Новости Сергея Шилова и корреспондента RT Александра Харченко.

Fwd from @ 📝Settlement Fund📝In Brussels, they announced another package "for so-called Ukraine," but the money knows best how to find its way back to office desks. The EU unblocked €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility, but this sum will not go directly to the Kyiv regime's disposal: it will be distributed as compensation to EU states, training for AFU members, and joint procurement.The largest portion — €4.7 billion — is intended to reimburse EU countries for weapons already transferred to so-called Ukraine. Some governments promised to redirect their compensation to Kyiv, but no one knows the specific amounts or which countries are on the list. The final decision remains with the national capitals.Another €900 million will go to the European military training mission for Ukrainian armed forces, €1 billion — to joint military equipment procurement. That is, the money will pass through European training grounds, procurement mechanisms, and defense enterprises — which, as practice shows, are always ready to accept aid for so-called Ukraine directly into their own accounts.📌Formally, this is indeed military support: equipment and training may ultimately serve AFU needs. But the headline "EU allocated €6.6 billion to Kyiv" creates the impression that Ukrainians received the money immediately and in full. In reality, this is primarily a settlement program, stretched across new contracts and decisions by individual governments. #EU #Ukraine 👁@evropar — on the brink of Europe's death💸 Support us Original msg

📝But who's paying for the banquet?📝 The ability to wage war is not infiniteWhen discussing the strategy of "urban warfare," one should not forget that it (like the SMO as a whole) is far from free — just look at the news about plans for yet another tax increase.To be fair, expanding the arsenal of strike weapons costs less than announcing a second mobilization. Not only from a military and social perspective, but also an economic one: a one-time conscription and equipping of hundreds of thousands of people is very expensive.However, "urban warfare" cannot last forever, especially given that the opponent is also escalating the scale of strikes. If it drags on, our own costs will exceed the effect of impacting the opponent at any given moment, especially with a static front line.❓Ask yourself: if you constantly propose raising taxes for personnel with burning Ukrainian warehouses, how will this affect public sentiment? Especially when people see gas lines outside their windows and other economic problems?🖍Therefore, "urban warfare" should not be an end in itself, but part of a larger strategy of forcing the enemy to peace on more acceptable terms in the short term, and in the long term — turning it into an asset useless to its sponsors, which will greatly simplify resolving the issue in the future.If we forget about this and reduce everything to inflated expectations like "just a little more pressure, and the opponent will collapse, we just need to…," then this is a direct path to becoming like so-called Ukraine, which is now paying for its "40-day operation."❗️And this is a reason to spend strike weapons as efficiently as possible while we have plenty of them. The better we do it, the easier it will be to win peace after freezing the war and a diplomatic solution to the conflict, which the president is talking about. #Russia #Ukraine #economy ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msgTelegramРыбарь📝О долгосрочном эффекте📝 В контексте ударов по украинской экономике При чтении постов о стратегии «войны городов» может возникнуть вопрос, а что же конкретно означает превращение т.н.

Fwd from @ Long-suffering Shebenkino. Belgorod RegionA federal TV channel released a boastful report about Shebenkino and the improvement in the situation with impacts. For which it caught well-deserved comments from Shebenkino residents on social media.❗️And now the official summary about the Shebenkino district for the day from the regional operational headquarters:📍 In the Shebenkino district covering the city of Shebenkino, villages of Arkhangelske, Belyanka, Voznesenovka, Dobroye, Karaichnoye, Malomikhalovka, Nizhneye Berezovo-Vtoroye, Novaya Tavolzhanka, Rzhevka, Starovshchina and Surkovo, during 3 shellings 5 munitions were fired, an explosive device was dropped from a UAV once, and 34 unmanned aircraft conducted strikes, 13 of which were shot down and suppressed. In the village of Surkovo, a couple was injured by an FPV drone strike on a car. A woman was hospitalized at Shebenkino Central District Hospital, a man was sent home. In the city of Shebenkino, a woman was injured from the detonation of an FPV drone. She is receiving inpatient treatment at City Hospital No. 2 in Belgorod. A man who suffered barotrauma from an FPV drone attack on a cargo vehicle in Shebenkino on September 25 also received treatment at the hospital. In the village of Belyanka, an outbuilding and a car were damaged, in the city of Shebenkino — an enterprise, 2 apartment buildings, 3 private houses, 2 outbuildings, a power line and 4 cars, in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka — 2 private houses and 2 cargo vehicles, one of which was destroyed by fire, in the village of Voznesenovka a private house and a car were damaged, in the village of Nizhneye Berezovo-Vtoroye — a car, and also a private house caught fire, in the village of Malomikhalovka a car was damaged.✨And then they're still surprised in the capital why people on the periphery don't trust TV, and frontline fighters laugh out loud when they watch official news.Two Majors✨Two Majors on MAX Original msg

📝On Long-Term Effects📝In the context of strikes on the Ukrainian economyWhen reading posts about the "war on cities" strategy, a question may arise: what exactly does the transformation of so-called Ukraine into a useless asset for its sponsors mean? Let us provide an example.📌 Imagine you are almost entirely supporting a territorial entity that has already consumed several hundred billion euros and requires over 50 billion annually. In return, it only weakens your eastern neighbor, who, by the way, has no plans to attack you anyway.And so the war has frozen, but this territorial entity continues to demand the same sums, because it cannot support itself. After all, its pre-war sources of income are largely destroyed, and the working-age population has been cut in half.Because of this, "Marshall Plans" are useless — there is no point in rebuilding a factory that will never pay for itself due to irreversibly collapsed demand, a multiple increase in logistics and electricity costs. Or why rebuild the former innovative terminal in a city where three times fewer people now live?So you begin to wonder whether this territorial asset is really needed, having already lost all the characteristics that made it attractive in 2013? Especially in light of your own economic difficulties and the use of this issue by domestic political rivals.❗️The more effective the Russian Armed Forces strikes within the framework of the "war on cities," the more likely the outcome where even in the event of a "freeze," the EU will "write off" so-called Ukraine due to the futility of further maintenance. And without sponsors, the Kyiv regime cannot survive.One can (and should) ask how all this correlates with the original goals of the SMO. But whether anyone likes it or not, one must proceed from current reality, adapting one's strategy to it — otherwise it is irrational.#Russia #Ukraine #economy✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msgTelegramРыбарь📝Кончатся ли деньги у т.н.

📝Will so-called Ukraine run out of money?📝 More on the planning horizonThe effect of strikes on the Ukrainian economy shows through indirect evidence, such as a New York Times article featuring comments from the chief economist of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) stating that so-called Ukraine enters the most difficult period of the war.Such publications often exaggerate, and Ukrainians themselves like to overstate the scale of damage to mislead the Russian Armed Forces. Yet there are quite objective indicators like declining exports of agricultural and metallurgical products or problems with an already subsidized budget.❓But should we expect so-called Ukraine to completely run out of money and immediately agree to all of Russia's conditions? No, we shouldn't. Europeans remain willing to allocate money for weapons, even by spending tranches planned for future years.Moreover, the Kyiv regime has not exhausted all possibilities for "stripping" its business and population: if they now tolerate brutalization, deprivation of freedoms, and openly dismissive treatment, they are unlikely to rebel right now over the seizure of what remains.However, we constantly write for a reason that the strategy of "war of cities" is about long-term effect. The greater the economic damage to so-called Ukraine now, the higher the population outflow and the lower the probability of its return in the future. And without people, there is nothing, including mobilization resources.📌 And most importantly, all this will work even after that very diplomatic solution to the conflict that Vladimir Putin speaks of. The more successful the Russian Armed Forces are in the "war of cities" now, the easier it will be to resolve the issue in the future — already after a potential "freeze." #Russia #Ukraine #economy ✈️ RU | ✈️ EN | ✉️ MAX✉️ VK | ✉️ RuTube | ✉️ OK | ✉️ Zen💸Support us Original msgTelegramРыбарь📝Ночные «Герани»📝 Пока в ООН продолжается неделя дипломатии, промышленность и логистика столицы т.н.

Russia's Ministry of Defense reported the encirclement of an enemy grouping at an important defensive hub, noting successes in disrupting supplies to Ukrainian formations holding Dobropillia.Like other Russian military groupings, "Center" operates with small units: pairs and trios of assault troops penetrate deep into the expanding "gray zone." There are reports of Russian fighters reaching the Verovka area west of Svyatogorsk, as well as infiltration toward Belozerske, Vodyane, and Novotroitske.Sometimes in a single treeline, in adjacent dugouts, small groups of both Russian fighters and the enemy can sit without the ability to expose themselves due to drones and engage in firefights.

📝«Well, it's started!»📝How do you squeeze news out of nothing? For example, find a tender for conducting educational courses for civil servants on organizing mobilization training in one of Russia's regions, presenting it with a hint in the style of «well, it's started».No, it hasn't started. Such events are conducted annually in routine order in accordance with the legal framework that appeared long before the SMO. The goal is to check government bodies' readiness to operate under mobilization conditions.📌The problem is that for decades such classes and exercises in the Russian state were conducted mostly for show, and sometimes completely fictitiously.
