I’m told another energy sector CEO in Russia is dead, Russia will say he’s died of organ failure or some such nonsense but truth is he was a defenestration. I heard this via my guys in Russia, both of which are evidently being monitored closely as part of loyalty checks. I’m always signing off with “be safe” but I’m worried…www.bbc.co.uk has the report up lukoil guy who urged Russia to stop war asap at the beginning.

British Defence Intelligence
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 1 September 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Over 30-31 August 2022, Ukrainian Armed Forces continued offensive operations in southern Ukraine, supported by intensive long-range strikes against Russian command and logistics locations across the occupied zone.
Ukraine's Ministry of Defence also released video footage of Ukrainian aircraft operating high speed, anti-radiation missiles (HARMs). Russian has previously claimed that it has recovered fragments of these types of weapons, which are designed to locate and destroy radars.
Russia prioritises strong ground-based air defences - the radar coverage which enables this is a critical capability in its Ukraine operation. A substantial, sustained degradation of Russia's radars with HARMs would be a major set-back to Russia's already troubled situational awareness,

Chairman of Russian oil producer Lukoil dies after falling from hospital window - source
This content was produced in Russia, where the law restricts coverage of Russian military operations in Ukraine.
MOSCOW, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Ravil Maganov, chairman of Russia's second-largest oil producer Lukoil (LKOH.MM), died on Thursday after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.
Some Russian media also reported the death of Maganov, 67, who was also Lukoil's vice president, citing unnamed sources.
No immediate comment was available from Lukoil.
Maganov had worked in Lukoil since 1993, shortly after the company's inception, and had overseen its refining, production and exploration, becoming chairman in 2020. His brother Nail is the head of mid-sized Russian oil producer Tatneft (TATN.MM).

Good job Cypher, I’m grateful for your sourcing and posting every day. Also thinking if that article allowed to be published the reason is to send a message to any would-be anti war folks keep your opinions to yourself.

I only have one Russian who I am still in contact with, but he lives in Texas and was in Kazakhstan for months setting up companies for his boss, a Russian oligarch. He has always avoided discussion about Putin and only in hushed tones of disdain. First met him in 2014. A biz partner and I once even considered offering a job to him, but the project never took off.

ISW Update August 31
quote:
Ukrainians and the West should not fall for Russian information operations portraying the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson Oblast as having failed almost instantly or that depict Ukraine as a helpless puppet of Western masters for launching it at this time.
quote:
Military operations on the scale of this counteroffensive do not succeed or fail in a day or a week.
quote:
Military forces that must conduct offensive operations without the numerical advantages normally required for success in such operations often rely on misdirections and feints to draw the defender away from the sectors of the line on which breakthrough and exploitation efforts will focus.
quote:
The Ukrainian military and government are repeating requests to avoid any reporting or forecasting of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, a measure that is essential if the counteroffensive includes feints or misdirections.[5]
quote:
ISW and other analysts studying this war have been appropriately cautious and circumspect in announcing the culmination or defeat of major Russian offensive operations. ISW will apply the same caution and circumspection to assessing the progress of the Ukrainian counteroffensive and exhorts others to do the same.
quote:
Russian authorities released a list of the locations of schools in occupied areas, including precise coordinates, ostensibly warning of possible Ukrainian attacks against them as the school year begins on September 1. This announcement could be preparation for Russian false-flag attacks on schools, for an explanation of very low attendance, or for some other purpose
quote:
Russian authorities are additionally using the start of the new school year to escalate efforts to institutionalize the elimination of Ukrainian identity
quote:
The G7 Non-Proliferation Directors Group stated that Russian attempts to disconnect the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) would be “unacceptable,” ahead of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delegation’s visit to the plant.
quote:
Russian and Ukrainian sources again exchanged accusations of shelling and loitering munition strikes on Enerhodar on August 31.

Key Takeaways
The Russian Ministry of Defense and Russian milbloggers began an information operation declaring the Ukrainian counteroffensive a failure almost as soon as it was launched. It is far too soon to assess the progress of the counteroffensive operation, however, which will likely be difficult to evaluate in the short term if it relies on feints and misdirection.
Russian occupation authorities are imposing a curriculum on Ukrainian students aimed at eliminating the notion of Ukrainian national identity, explicitly in line with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speeches and writings falsely claiming that Ukraine is part of Russia, and that the Ukrainian identity was an invention of the Soviet period.
The G7 Non-Proliferation Directors Group condemned Russian attempts to disconnect the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant from the Ukrainian power grid as “unacceptable” ahead of the arrival of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) delegation to the plant.
Russian forces conducted a limited ground attack north of Kharkiv City.
Russian forces conducted ground attacks south of Bakhmut and along the western outskirts of Donetsk City.
Russian-appointed officials in Crimea began “reconstructing” air defense systems to counter smaller targets in response to recurring drone attacks on the peninsula. Russian officials are likely strengthening Crimean air defenses at the expense of other theaters.
Zabaykalsky Krai announced the formation of the “Daursky” volunteer engineer-sapper battalion.
Ukrainian partisans conducted an improvised explosive device (IED) attack against the headquarters of the “Together with Russia” political organization in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia Oblast, where occupation authorities were reportedly preparing for sham referenda.

So according to that map nothing has changed much?
And it looks like Russia is doing exactly what some already said on here which is going after the resources
Coal, lithium, iron ore, natural gas etc are all in those areas
I will now be downvoted into oblivion over this

Elite specialists. Who exactly did the Russian army lose in Ukraine?
Olga Ivshina
BBC (Russian)
This article is in Russian but you can use a browser like Microsoft Edge to translate it. In depth reporting of their skilled personnel losses.
During the six months of the war in Ukraine, the Russian army lost thousands of troops. Estimates of the death toll vary greatly, but it is important not only the total number of casualties, but also who exactly died - what kind of people they are. The BBC was able to establish that Russia lost more than 900 elite specialists, whose training took years of effort and millions of dollars.
According to both Western and Russian experts, the combined-arms units of the Russian army were not ready for assault operations. As a result, the tasks that are usually assigned to the infantry had to be solved by special forces, marines and paratroopers.
It was these units, traditionally considered the elite of the Russian army, that suffered significant losses during the six months of the invasion of Ukraine. Dozens of military pilots were also killed. According to experts, it will be problematic for Russia to make up for the loss of all these specialists.

Yep, Nothing in terms of territory occupied has changed much.
But what has changed is that Russia’s ammo depots and supply line bridges have been exploding…

Sounds like the Russians went after kids and families and are trying to brainwash them Commie style. I’ve seen no reports of Russia concentrating on resources. They are blowing things up.

In the Ukraine war, a battle for the nation’s mineral and energy wealth
The Kremlin is robbing this nation of the building blocks of its economy — its natural resources.
After nearly six months of fighting, Moscow’s sloppy war has yielded at least one big reward: expanded control over some of the most mineral-rich lands in Europe. Ukraine harbors some of the world’s largest reserves of titanium and iron ore, fields of untapped lithium and massive deposits of coal. Collectively, they are worth tens of trillions of dollars.

Roughly 80 per cent of Ukraine's oil, natural gas and coal production reserves can be found in the Dnieper-Donetsk region, which has been the major focus of Russia's military operations to "liberate" the country, the SevDev report noted.
Equally importantly, Ukraine is thought to have the second-largest natural gas deposits in Europe, estimated at 1.2 trillion cubic metres of proven reserves — and possibly up to 5.4 trillion cubic metres, much of it the now-contested offshore Black Sea region.
The gains Russia has made thus far in the invasion mean Moscow now has control of two thirds of its neighbour's maritime shelf, which is where an estimated 80 per cent of Ukraine's offshore oil and natural gas deposits are found.

Invasion timing not a coincidence
The timing of Russia's military actions, and its choice of territory to conquer, is not a coincidence, said Oleksandr Kharchenko, the managing director of the Energy Industry Research Center, a research and consulting firm in Kyiv.
quote:
"The areas of occupation, not just now but going back to 2014, really encompasses the eastern part of the country, which not coincidentally, happen to also be the place where you have the largest natural resource endowment that Ukraine has," Rohozinski said.

Aren’t you one of the shite posters who previously parroted the Russian propaganda that the invasion was the fault of the United States? Now you are switching to the invasion is motivated by Russia’s desire to plunder its neighbor’s land?
How does this support your irreconcilable statements that the US and Ukraine brought this on themselves?

Nope. But we didnt stop it thats for sure
I said this was the reason since the beginning and Magildachunks told me I was a moron for saying that
Deathwishes, Im a putin lover, then was banned for it.
Vindication is always great
Everything else has been laughing at all the propaganda you all eat up from known liars

Thank you for your contributions here and in the field hospitals. That’s noble work.
Just trying to do what I can. Plus the army needs to train its new doctors how to care for soldiers wounded in war. Since the USA is not really involved in a lot of active combat it has to find some where else to send us to get experience. I was one of three doctors that volunteered to go to Ukraine instead of an intercity hospital to do after OCS training. My CO chewed my arse out bigly when he found out that instead of just staying in the military hospital around Kharkiv I went into the parts of the Kharkiv oblast that was under fire. However, when my friends’ father whose a 60+ year old Ukrainian doctor asked me if I wanted to go out to the Red Cross aid station/field hospital. I didn’t have the brains or the balls to say no.
BTW for what it’s worth. Those of you who are saying that the USA and NATO are using this as an opportunity to learn how to fight Russia and countries supplied and trained by Russia are 100% correct. I was surprised by how many US and NATO officers and specialists were there. There was one Colonel on the train back who was downright giddy that Iran was sending drones to Russia and he was hoping that the rumors of the North Koreans coming was true. He figured that we would be fighting one of those two in the next 10-20 years so we need to see how they fight and how advanced their tech is.

Expanded control. Sure, but they already had control of much of Eastern Ukraine already. Thousands died so they could get a little more? And what can they do with it? They can’t control the infrastructure. They can’t control the rails or highways. They sure are paying a stiff price fir a little more real estate ,
Now perhaps they will eventually nail it all down. But even then it’s been extremely costly.

No Russia needs to take Kiev for the LAWLZ and start a losing proxy war in western Ukraine on NATO’s doorstep
