Lots of things people didn't think would happen have happened in this war.

Those in the zone of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine note that they increasingly hear foreign speech that comes from the enemy. At some directions, the number of foreigners who came to "hunt for Russians" reaches 70%. Rustem Klupov, an MK expert, a veteran of military intelligence, a hero of the Russian Federation, explained why military personnel who arrived from abroad are increasingly found on the battlefield - the Ukrainian ones are almost over. According to LPR Police Colonel Vitaly Kiselyov, about 70% of mercenaries are involved at the Lugansk direction in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a rule, these are mercenaries from Eastern Europe, as well as from Poland, Finland, France, Italy. Earlier, military commander Yuriy Kotenok reported that at the turn of Svatovo-Kremennaya, in the radio intercepts of the Ukrainian side, English, Polish, and Romanian were heard on the air. On the eve of the war zone, it was reported that in the Kharkiv region they “gave a light” to Polish “tourists” - as a result of the fighting, 9 Polish mercenaries died, one was injured. According to military intelligence veteran Rustem Klupov, such a dominance of mercenaries indicates that in Ukraine it has become very tight with the reserve.

I am assuming that Ukraine might launch an offensive somewhere between late today to November 8 or maybe some days after because of electrions and trying to sway congress particularly if republicans become the majority that they have made progress in taking over kherson. The weather is still fucked up and even they think they are walking into a trap in Kherson. They are sort of forced to do it anyways since people might start leaving the country in mass numbers unless they are being forced to stay in the country below 32 degree farenheit weather with no heating. Pelosi of course has her son have connections with ukraines ogligarchs so she believes that despite the results Ukraine would still be supported but Biden on the otherhand seems worried what will happen in the next 2 years based on what the election results could be for congress

The article states that Polish and Hungarian relations have considerably improved But in fact said relations between Poland Hungary were always close; they always set aside their differences on Russia policy and simply cooperated within the framework of the Visegrad group and against Brussels.
So just from that I would be inclined to dismiss this reportage. As well as due to the authors' privy to these top secret consultations that have not left any other trails it seems

FSB detaining a Ukrainian saboteur or terrorist in the Belgorod region. Apparently he was planning to bomb or mine transport-logistical infrastructure of some description, video doesn't specify what exactly

You always have multiple lines of defense. Also to defend against a flanking maneuver.

That's the heart of banderstan. I appreciate the concept but in reality the best bet is to take Odessa and Nikolayevsk, the troops do exist in force for that, take out the rest of Ukraine's power and rail grid infrastructure, and knock out all bridges over the Dniepr. Then slowly sweep to the Dniepr.
Rubbish, you don't suddenly get regions which are populated almost entirely by ethnic Russians, unless they were part of Russia previously.
He was not stating his own view, he was pointing out they hipocracy of the current western stance....
That's assuming its even true, and claims like these 99.99999 percent of the times are just disinformation moves.
Even when they are not true, sometimes the west might release such things to test the general reaction to them... if it is not immediately negative they might give it a second thought.
FP - pretty sure that's old footage from a few weeks back?
More detailed this time, last time only showed his arrest.

That’s a rather expansive border. How to you propose they carry out such an objective with current troop numbers etc?
Take 100 K troops, move down along from Belarus along the Brest railway line, close all east bound rail. Deliver air support from Belarus and establish attack helo bases and you move south. Set up fire bases at regular intervals and monitor enemy movement with satellite and drone. Avoid urban centers and have groups of commandos in the field to observe and deliver target info for missiles and artillery. If you can close just 4-500km the rest becomes easy to close with airpower and drones.

There are no "Polish-Hungarian" relations, and the Visegard Triangle is a non working sofa type organization that can do perfectly shit. Poles do like Hungarians and vice versa, but that runs on the human factor&level only. Both Hungary and Poland had their issues with the EU commission, but for both, the cause and goals differ. Orban won't do anything that will seriously undermine the HU-RUS relations, as they are making very good money from those. And again, a scenario of partitioning Ukraine using its historical lines&divisions was heavily promoted by the Russian side itself a while ago. It would benefit them - removing the problem of pure hate toward Russians fueling the western Ukrs. Let the Poles and Hungarians pick the hot potatoes. The only risk here would be turning Poland into 50+ mln country, but with our fertility rates that issue is irrelevant, this number will be halved by 2100. Plus causing a massive migration now solves that issue either, as the Ukrs will just spread along the entire Europe.

So the whole "trenches only on left side of dnepr is a nothingburger?
I thought I heard from vdv on the ground that they are actually making trenches and the reason ukies couldn't advance more is because of more fortification.
Last ditch attempt by the US Democrats, to fool their citizens that they are not responsible for the war in Ukraine before the mid-term elections on Tuesday.
