Totally unreal news

⚡️ Breaking news! Sensational discovery by an international team of paleontologists.

The death of dinosaurs 65 million years ago was not caused by an asteroid. An asteroid could not have caused such enormous damage.

Dinosaurs became extinct due to the fall of debris from a Ukrainian UAV!

⚡️Ukrainian forces break through another section of Russian border, 95th Brigade claims.

Ukraine's 95th Separate Polesian Air Assault Brigade said on Sept. 23 it had broken through another section of the Russian border.

And yet, in 2022 and 2023, your words and actions signalled a categorical refusal to negotiate with the enemy, whereas now you seem to have opened a window to the idea of negotiating, a willingness to ask if negotiations are worth pursuing.

If we go back two years, to the G-20 summit, in Indonesia, in my video appearance, I presented our formula for peace. Since then, I’ve been quite consistent in saying that the Russians have blocked all our initiatives from the very beginning, and that they continue to do so. And I said that any negotiation process would be unsuccessful if it’s with Putin or with his entourage, who are all just his puppets.

Everyone said that we have to allow the possibility of some kind of dialogue. And I told them, “Look, your impression that Putin wants to end the war is misguided. That’s a potentially fatal mistake you are making, I’m telling you.” But, on our end, we have to demonstrate that we do have this desire for dialogue—and ours is a genuine one. Our partners think we should be at the negotiating table? Then let’s be constructive. Let’s have a first summit where we all get together. We shall write up a plan and give it to the Russians. They might say, “We are ready to talk,” and then we’d have a second summit where they say, “This formula of yours, we agree with it.” Or, alternatively, “We disagree. We think that it should be like this and like that.” This is called dialogue. But to make it happen, you have to prepare a plan without the Russians, because, unfortunately, they seem to think that they have a kind of red card, as in soccer, that they can hold up and block everything. Our plan, however—it is being prepared.

I understand that you are going to present this plan to Biden?

The victory plan is a bridge. After the first peace summit, our partners saw that Russia was not prepared for any talks at all—which confirmed my message to them and my insistence that without making Ukraine strong, they will never force Putin to negotiate fairly and on equal terms. No one believed me. They said, We’ll invite them to the second summit and they’ll come running. Well, now we have the second summit planned and they don’t look like they’ll come running.

And so the victory plan is a plan that swiftly strengthens Ukraine. A strong Ukraine will force Putin to the negotiating table. I’m convinced of that. It’s just that, before, I was only saying it and now I’ve put it all on paper, with specific arguments and specific steps to strengthen Ukraine during the months of October, November, and December, and to enable a diplomatic end of the war. The difference this time will be that Putin will have grasped the depth of this plan and of our partners’ commitment to strengthening us, and he will realize an important fact: that if he is not ready to end this war in a way that is fair and just, and instead wishes to continue to try to destroy us, then a strengthened Ukraine will not let him do so. Not only that but continuing to pursue that goal would also considerably weaken Russia, which would threaten Putin’s own position.

What happens if Biden says, “With all due respect, this is a difficult time, the election’s coming up, I’m having enough trouble with Congress without trying to increase aid packages for you,” and he rejects your request—do you have a Plan B?

We have been living in Plan B for years. Plan A was proposed before the full-scale war, when we called for two things: preventive sanctions and preventive reinforcement of Ukraine with various weapons. I told our partners, If Ukraine is very strong, nothing will happen. They didn’t listen. Since then, they have all recognized I was right. Strengthening Ukraine would have significantly lowered the probability of Putin invading.

A SEA OF FLAGS 🇺🇦

A comparison of how many flags of fallen soldiers there were in 2022 and how many there were so far in 2024 on the central square of Kyiv.

A permanent display stands in Kyiv - a flag for every soldier killed.

5 Finnish flags to add to this, 5 volunteers from Finland were killed. 😢

Add to that the huge number of murdered civilians. So many precious lives lost. 😭

The United States has successfully conducted an electronic test launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, Offutt Air Force Base said.

The test, conducted Sept. 17 without actually launching the missile, was called a "signal to our allies and adversaries." Such tests are conducted twice a year to ensure the missile system is ready for operational use.

Minuteman III is a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile that has been in service with the US Army since 1970. Its range is about 9.5 thousand kilometers.

The last test launch of the missile was conducted in June, another test took place in September 2023. In the mid-2030s, Minuteman III is planned to be completely replaced by Sentinel missiles.

Russia currently has 5,580 nuclear warheads, of which 1,710 are in combat readiness.

The United States has 5,044 nuclear warheads, of which 1,770 are deployed.

📸Offutt base is in Omaha, Nebraska.

Satan 2 failed again

OSINT researcher MT Anderson published satellite imagery from September, 21 showing that at the Plesetsk test site in Mirny, Arkhangelsk, apparently an ICBM Sarmat exploded directly in the silo and destroyed one of the sites of the test site.

This is at least the 4th failed test attempt of the 'combat operational' Sarmat Heavy ICBM.
The Sarmat RS-28, (Nato name Satan 2) is one of the new 'Wunderwaffen' praised by Putin after the first (and last) successful flight test in 2022 that allegedly 'renders the West defense useless'.

The first group of Ukrainian pilots completed their training in France

Training on Alphajet aircraft lasted for six months, the French Armed Forces reported on the X social network, declaring their strong support for Ukraine's military efforts.

These jet trainers are equipped with an instrument panel that mimics the one on the F-16 fighters. In just 2 years, France promised to train 26 Ukrainian pilots.

After that, the pilots will probably go to the training center in Romania, writes European Truth.

The French Air Force Center has been training Ukrainian pilots since March 2024. The mass media reported that since March 10 pilots have been trained there.

☢️ I am grateful to the IAEA General Conference for passing a resolution on the Zaporizhzhya NPP that reaffirms the need for Ukraine to regain full control of the plant and withdraw Russian troops and personnel from ZNPP, - Zelensky

❗️Russia is the only terrorist regime in the world that has stolen a nuclear power plant, which is the largest NPP in Europe, turned it into a military base, and continues to use it for nuclear blackmail against our continent and the world.

Good morning Resisters everywhere

Ukrainian Naval Forces have taken credit for the operation that targeted a Russian ammunition depot near Russian occupied Mariupol 3 days ago.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called the figures published by The Wall Street Journal about 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed in the war with Russia a lie

"80 thousand? That’s a lie. The real number is much lower than what was published. Much lower."

On September 17, The Wall Street Journal released an estimate suggesting that the combined military losses of both Russia and Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 could exceed one million.

According to the publication, "the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed is 80,000, with 400,000 wounded."
