NATO & EU Distant Dream For Ukraine; Poland Warns Blocs Amid Fight Over Grain, Putin's War

NATO and EU are likely to remain a distant dream for Ukraine amid cracks in relationship with Poland. The NATO Nation's agriculture minister trained guns at Ukraine and warned the EU that if Ukraine were to become a member its member, it would have to be under certain conditions, in light of the threat posed by its agriculture. Meanwhile, Polish PM Andrzej Duda explained why it is not advisable for Ukraine to join the NATO as long as Russia's war continues.

The neo Nazi Bandera regime lead by the puppet 🤡 Zelensky is a threat not only to EU but humanity as well. 😦 Poland should demand reparations and if necessary by force take back it's territories that were stolen from them by the Ukrainian Nazis during WW2. nod.gif

Death and disappearance of British volunteers in Ukraine exposes rivalry in foreign legion
Comrades fear two men may have been killed not by Russians but by fellow foreign soldiers

In the fields around Komyshuvakha, a bomb-wrecked village outside the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, police are looking for a British man’s body. The search area lies close to the Russian front line, and over the last 18 months of the war, fighting has raged back and forth.

Yet the man they are looking for is not thought to have died during combat. Daniel Burke, a former Para who went to Ukraine as a military volunteer last year, disappeared from his flat in Zaporizhzia in early August. There was no sign of a robbery at his flat, and with no sightings of him since, family and friends now fear the worst.

With Ukrainian police already struggling with hundreds of missing persons cases as a result of the war, resources for investigating what happened are limited.

Mr Burke, however, is not the only Briton on the Ukrainian police caseload. Further east near the town of Bakhmut, the body of another military volunteer was recovered from a stretch of water. Jordan Chadwick, 31, a former Scots Guard from Burnley, had his hands tied behind his back.

The two cases are not currently linked. Chadwick’s body was found in late June, although his death was only disclosed last week by his mother Brenda, who told the BBC she was “devastated”.

However, both cases do have one thing in common. Comrades fear the men may have been killed not by the Russians they had come to fight but by fellow foreign volunteers. In Mr Burke’s case, police are examining claims of a dispute over money and vehicles. In Chadwick’s case, reports have circulated that he was killed either during a petty argument or during a military “initiation” ceremony that went wrong.

Ukrainian investigators have not publicly commented on either case, nor has Britain’s Embassy in Kyiv, which can give only limited help in the war-torn country. But within the fraternity of British military volunteers serving in Ukraine, online chat groups are full of talk that the pair were victims of foul play.

Accurate or not, the speculation lays bare a murky side to life in the volunteers’ ranks - which have their share of misfits and hot-heads. Many volunteers complain that vetting for service in Ukraine is almost non-existent, allowing a minority of bad actors in.

“There are guys who shouldn’t be here - some with criminal records, some with PTSD, and some with drug and alcohol problems or who use steroids,” one volunteer told The Telegraph.

Among those seeking answers is Adam Holloway, Conservative MP and a former Grenadier Guardsman, who met Mr Burke in Ukraine last year and raised his case while visiting Kyiv again earlier this month. “Mr Burke had a brave and noble record, but any war can also attract those with psychiatric problems and people who just want to kill,” he said. “That can create a rough, tough culture, and I fear that these two cases may reflect that.”

Mr Burke, 36, who was interviewed by The Telegraph last year, exemplifies the kind of peripatetic character drawn to take up arms in Ukraine. After serving in Afghanistan, he fought with Western-backed Kurdish anti-Isis fighters in Syria, before setting up his own volunteer unit in Ukraine, the Dark Angels. He later switched to front-line evacuation work, complaining that commanding other volunteers was as stressful as fighting the enemy.

He was last seen on the evening of Friday August 11 when an Australian fellow volunteer, Nourine “Adam” Abdelfetah, dropped him off at his apartment. According to Mr Abdelfetah, Mr Burke complained of food poisoning and lent him his vehicle for use that weekend. Mr Abdelfetah said when he sought to return the vehicle on the Sunday, there was no sign of Mr Burke at his flat.

At first it was assumed that Mr Burke, who was known to enjoy a drink, might have gone on a weekend-long “bender”. But when there was still no sign of him the following day, a comrade of Mr Abdelfetah’s, Welsh volunteer James Sutton, contacted local police.

Like many foreign military volunteers, Mr Burke used his public profile to attract online donations. He had talked of a US millionairess who was giving him nearly £8,000 per month, which could have sparked envy among his peers.

Meanwhile, friends of Mr Burke have pointed the finger of suspicion at Mr Abdelfetah and Mr Sutton, claiming they had a fall-out with him over money and vehicles. The pair say they have been the victims of “conspiracy theories” circulated online and that they have co-operated with police inquiries. Others speculate that Mr Burke might have been killed by pro-Russian sympathisers in Zaporizhzhia, but there is no known evidence of such groups targeting foreigners.

A source said police were now searching around Komyshuvakha, following CCTV analysis of Mr Burke’s vehicle’s movements on the day he went missing.

“For some reason the car stopped in the middle of nowhere outside Komyshuvakha and didn’t move for three hours,” the source said. “That’s where they’re looking to see if they can find a body.”

Similar intrigue surrounds the case of Chadwick, said to have been serving with the 50/50 Squad, a reconnaissance unit. A YouTube channel followed by many military volunteers in Ukraine claims that forensic examinations revealed that the water in his lungs did not match that in the water where he was found. The channel said Chadwick drowned in a “selection” test devised by a fellow volunteer who used to be in Britain’s SAS. Another source, however, told The Telegraph that Chadwick had been shot during a petty argument that had got out of hand.

The Foreign Office declined to comment on what lines of inquiry were being pursued in either case, or whether other volunteers were potential suspects. It continues to warn against travel to Ukraine because of the “high risks”.

Those were risks that the two men, as trained soldiers, chose to disregard. Whether they ever imagined such risks from their own side is another matter.

Death awaits for sycophants fighting for Bandera regime lead by the puppet 🤡 Zelensky. shakehead.gif

Russian Su-25SM attack jets wipe out Ukrainian stronghold near Krasny Liman — top brass
It is noted that the strike was executed with the blast-fragmentation type of shells, which effectively enable the elimination of large-area targets and manpower, as well as the adversary’s light fortifications

MOSCOW, September 15. /TASS/. Su-25SM attack aircraft from Russia’s Central Military District have destroyed a Ukrainian stronghold in the Krasny Liman area with S-8 unguided rockets, the Russian Defense Ministry told TASS.

"The crews of Su-25SM attack jets from the Central Military District have completed a combat mission to eliminate the Ukrainian army’s stronghold in the Krasny Liman area in the special military operation zone. Following the configuration of the terrain at a speed of about 800 km/h and at the aircraft’s lowest altitude of 20 meters, the attack jets pilots wiped out yet another stronghold of Ukrainian nationalists by launching unguided air rockets," the military agency said.

The strike was executed with the blast-fragmentation type of shells, which effectively enable the elimination of large-area targets and manpower, as well as the adversary’s light fortifications, the Defense Ministry added. Following the air strike, the pilots, having completed a counter-fire maneuver, returned to their home base to prepare for their next sortie.

"Two pairs of Su-25SM aircraft carried out the flight along the established route at the lowest altitude and fired at a target with the S-8 unguided rocketry," said a senior fighter pilot who goes by the call sign "Redhead."

Fire support from the air by Battlegroup Center aviation units helps ground troops to successfully carry out battlefield tasks for retaining their positions at the combat line of engagement, the Russian Defense Ministry explained. During the special military operation, assault aviation crews carry out combat missions for eliminating the Ukrainian forces’ armored vehicles and military infrastructure targets.

Modernized one-seater Su-25SM (known as Frogfoot-A under NATO’s classification) is designed to support troops day and night in any weather. The aircraft is distinguished from the basic Su-25 model by the addition of an onboard navigational and targeting Bars PrNK-25SM complex and GLONASS satellite navigation. The cockpit has been upgraded with multifunctional displays and a new windshield indicator instead of the old sights. The aircraft is armed with a 30mm twin-barreled GSh-302 air gun. Its maximum speed at the ground is 975 km/h; it has a range of 500 km. The aircraft has two RD-195 turbojet engines with a 4500 kgf thrust at the maximum regime each.

Kyiv Plotting Kim's Assassination? North Korean Leader On 'Kill List' After Bromance With Putin shocking.gif

A notorious Ukrainian government-linked website has added Kim Jong-Un to its "kill list." The North Korean leader has been declared a supposed enemy of Ukraine. Myrotvorets database has described Kim as "an accomplice of Russian war criminals." The U.S. fears that Kim could send Russia weapons for its war in Ukraine.

During yesterday's raid by Ukrainian drones on the Crimean Yevpatoria, the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed slightly.

Ukrainian formations used a completely different type of UAV to open Russian air defense positions before striking from the Neptune anti-ship complex.

According to our information, Ukrainian formations used UJ-26 Beaver kamikaze drones or simply Beaver. This is a UAV developed with the help of Western specialists, which was used to attack Moscow.

The drone is assembled according to the aerodynamic "duck" scheme and is capable of traveling at low altitude up to 1000 kilometers at speeds up to 150 km / h.

🔻The use of this drone, and not the cheaper Mugin-5, may be due to problems in the purchase of Chinese commercial drones. Since September 1, China has imposed a ban on the export of UAVs and components for their use for military purposes. But the option of using other UAVs to bypass electronic warfare and air defense systems cannot be ruled out either.

Kherson direction: new tactical group “Normandy” and Ukrainian symbolism
situation as of 17.00 September 15, 2023

🔻 In the island zone of the Dnieper, the situation remains the same: the AFU are still sending reconnaissance groups to consolidate on the islands, from which they plan to attack the left bank of the Dnieper in the future.

▪️ Over the past 24 hours, one boat tried to deliver personnel to the northwestern part of Aleshkinsky Island, where it was destroyed by concentrated rocket artillery fire.

▪️ And another craft landed on Kozatsky Island from the northeast, where it was sunk by an accurate artillery strike. Moreover, a few hours earlier, two recon groups had landed from the north.

❗️ The creation of another tactical group - “Normandy” - looks interesting. This is already the third formation of this kind in the Kherson direction: there are also “Grom” and “Omaha”.

And the name itself clearly alludes to the operation of the Allied forces to land troops in Normandy in June 1944. Such symbolism is characteristic of the Ukrainian authorities, and it is likely that this group will take an active part in crossing the Dnieper and storming the Kherson region.

Revealing Ukrainian army losses would ‘ruin’ Zelensky – former presidential advisor
Oleg Soskin called the situation on the contact line very difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the losses were very large

MOSCOW, September 15. /TASS/. After the data on troop losses in the Ukrainian armed forces is disclosed, it "will ruin the country’s president, Vladimir Zelensky" and his team, Oleg Soskin, ex-advisor of former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, opined.

Soskin is convinced that the authorities’ decision to conceal casualties was a mistake.

"What is wrong with the authorities’ stand, is that it is the 21st century, you cannot lie, as it is impossible to hide anything <…>. It is one thing when people already know this harsh reality, and another thing when the huge weight of the tragedy of these horrible losses will simply fall upon them. Certainly, it will mean the ruin of both Servant of the People (the pro-presidential party - TASS), the current leadership and, of course, Zelensky, it is 200-300% certain," he said in a video posted on his YouTube channel.

Soskin described the situation along the contact line as very difficult for the Ukrainian armed forces, and the casualties as very heavy.

"What is there to lie about? People in Ukraine are very smart, and of course, they realize how terrible the losses are, so you have to tell the truth," he added.

Earlier, Soskin said that Zelensky was constantly lying about the Ukrainian army’s victories. According to the politician, these lies are being spread fast across the country, in particular on television, although the counteroffensive has had no results. In addition, Retired General Sergey Krivonos, former deputy secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, reproached Zelensky for giving false hope around the actions of the country’s armed forces. The general was concerned that such statements would again shape a rosy background in the information field about the Ukrainian military’s successes, when this is not true. nod.gif

Meanwhile, corrupted, nefarious Bandera regime sympathizers and sycophants express confidence that 'Ukraine is winning' shakehead.gif rclxub.gif

What is the reason for yesterday’s attack on Russian Navy ships?

Today, the ship “Puma” under the flag of the Cayman Islands left the port of Odessa and headed along the already tested route along the coast of Ukraine to the south. The ship is still en route and is heading along Romania, probably towards the Bosphorus.

Up to Romanian waters, she was accompanied by two naval guard boats of the Ukrainian Navy, MiG-29 fighters patrolled the airspace over the Odessa region, and American P-8As were working in shifts over Romania (one of them was mistakenly mistaken for a B-52N) .

📌 In the context of the vessel’s exit, a more complete picture emerges with yesterday’s massive attack on a detachment of warships (OBK) of the Black Sea Fleet consisting of “Vasily Bykov” and “Sergei Kotov” - a total of 14 unmanned boats were destroyed (excluding attacks on “Samum” and “Askold” ") .

One of them, as we already wrote, (https://t.me/rybar/51885) hit the side of the Bykov, which caused the ship to be damaged, but continued to move under its own power to Sevastopol, and the Sergey Kotov operates nearby. That is, as soon as the Russian OBK moved away from the patrol area, the ship left Odessa.

📌 Thus, the AFU not only opened a route for the movement of the bulk carrier, but also demonstrated that, if necessary, they can distract Russian ships by attacking with sea drones. Of course, the attack was repulsed, but in this way in Kyiv they are trying to prove the functionality of this corridor without the participation of Russia.
