The owner of the Russian Wagner Group private military company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, stated on 23 October that Wagner forces were making advances of 100-200m per day, which he claimed was ‘normal in modern warfare’.

According to their military doctrine, Russian forces plan to advance 30km or more per day in most conditions. In February, Russian forces planned to make a 1000km advance through Ukraine within a month. In September, Ukrainian forces achieved advances of over 20km per day.

In the last two months, Prigozhin has abandoned any pretence that he is not associated with Wagner and has been more explicit in his public statements. He is likely trying to burnish his credibility within the stressed Russian national security system.

Putin told Indonesian President Widodo about plans to attend G20 summit, - Bloomberg

Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have informed Indonesian President Joko Widodo that they plan to attend the Group of Twenty (G20) summit to be held on the island of Bali on November 15-16.

Widodo himself told about this in an interview with the Bloomberg agency, Censor.NET informs with reference to DW.

Today, Putin and Widodo discussed preparations for the summit during a telephone conversation. At the same time, the Kremlin's website does not mention Putin's plans to personally come to the summit. He has not yet officially confirmed his participation.

As a reminder, the G20 summit in Bali will take place from November 15 to 16. According to Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, nothing will be decided at the G20, but everyone is working to isolate Vladimir Putin at the summit. US President Joe Biden has no intention of meeting the Russian dictator if he does come to the summit.

On October 31, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called for the cancellation of Putin's invitation to the G20 summit after another missile attack on the energy infrastructure. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3377920

We cannot compromise with Putin and look for some "dirty" deal with him, it will only push him to further aggression - Johnson

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned Western leaders against trying to induce Ukraine to sign a peace agreement on unfavorable terms with Russia.

It was informed by Censor.NЕТ referring to Ukrinform.

"I think the danger is that we will try to compromise and find some kind of a deal, some kind of a dirty deal with Putin, try to encourage Ukrainians to trade a part of their territory, which will only encourage Putin to further aggression," Johnson said.

According to him, compromises on Putin's terms are impossible, especially because by supporting Ukraine, Western countries for the first time in a long time proved their commitment to the values of freedom and democracy.

"The reward for firmness and continued support of Ukraine is absolutely huge, because for the first time in decades we have shown that we really believe in democracy and freedom, and that we are really ready to support these values in Europe. So the Ukrainian victory can be an absolutely turning point for the world," the former British Prime Minister concluded. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3377933

There are no anti-Ukrainian sentiments in army of Belarus. Attack is unlikely, - Tykhanovskaya

The leader of the Belarusian opposition, Svitlana Tykhanovskaya, believes that there are no anti-Ukrainian sentiments in the army of Belarus, and Oleksandr Lukashenko, who seized power in Belarus, knows this, so an attack on Ukraine is unlikely.

She said this in an interview with Ukrainian Truth, Censor.NET reports.

"Already then (in February. - Ed.) it was clear that there are no anti-Ukrainian sentiments in the Belarusian army. Belarusian soldiers are not motivated to go fight against Ukrainians.

Moreover, they perfectly understood that they were not experienced in military operations, they would be used as cannon fodder. And Lukashenko understood these sentiments in the army. Nowadays, it is extremely unlikely that such an order can be issued. Although under pressure, of course, Lukashenko can do it," Tykhanovska said.

In her opinion, even if the order is given, the Belarusians will not fight, but will immediately surrender or flee.

At the same time, Tykhanovska believes that Lukashenko's regime has already officially entered the war with Ukraine. However, the introduction of Belarusian troops into the territory of Ukraine was more likely in February than now.

She emphasized that it is important for Russia that Ukrainians treat Belarusians with the same hatred as Russians. Tykhanovskaya emphasized that Russia creates the image of an "external enemy" in the face of Ukraine, while Lukashenko looks like a "savior". Source: https://censor.net/en/n3378048

Russias Security Council claims "Anglo-Saxons are destroying Russian ethnic group" in Ukraine


Ukrainska Pravda
Thu, November 3, 2022 at 4:58 AM

Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has claimed that "Anglo-Saxons" are using Ukraine "to create a precedent to further fracture the Russian ethnic group" and that their "goal" is to "totally eliminate it."

Source: RIA Novosti, citing Patrushev during the meeting of the Secretaries of Security Councils of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a regional intergovernmental organisation in Eastern Europe and Asia

Details: Patrushev has once again reiterated the Kremlin propaganda statement that "Russians and Ukrainians have always been a single, indivisible people with a shared culture and fate."
However, Patrushev claimed that "Ukraine has turned into a world centre of far-right extremism". He believes that Russia is fighting "a puppet regime in Kyiv" rather than "ordinary Ukrainians."

Quote from Patrushev: "Having organised the coup in Kyiv in 2014 and initiated Ukraine’s transformation into a so-called ‘Anti-Russia’, the Anglo-Saxons are now trying not only to prepare grounds to put further pressure on our country, but also to create a precedent to further fracture the Russian ethnic group in order to completely eliminate it."

Previously: On 24 February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, an independent and sovereign state, under the guise of a "special military operation"; this latest development follows eight years of Russia’s hybrid military aggression against Ukraine.


The majority of Ukrainians believe that Vladimir Putin and his regime want to eliminate the Ukrainian people as such. Though Russia’s official government representatives are continuing to spew lies about "brotherly nations", the Kremlin’s puppets often say that Ukraine must cease its existence as a state.

Beijing’s clear words to Moscow are important for UN Charter and its principles - Scholz

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hopes that China will find "clear words" for Russia in connection with its war against Ukraine and threats to use nuclear weapons.

As informs Cenaor.NЕТ referring to Ukrinform, he wrote about this in his article for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung before his visit to China on November 3-5.

"Russia's war against Ukraine blatantly calls into question the international order of peace and security," Scholz said.

He noted that Russia has even resorted to threats of using nuclear weapons, thus "threatening to cross a red line that will affect all of humanity."

"Earlier this year, in a statement with other permanent members of the UN Security Council, China clearly positioned itself against the use or even threat of use of nuclear weapons. As a permanent member of the Security Council, China has a special responsibility. Beijing's clear words to Moscow are important for the UN Charter and its principles," the Head of the German Government noted.

According to him, such principles include, in particular, "the preservation of the territorial integrity of all states".

Sagt wer? Scholz...? Ach, der...

He also says something different, and non-verbally: he expresses it in one of the biggest trek of German business leaders accomanysing him on his trip that a German chancellor ever has led to Bejing.



Meanwhile, BASF cuts jobs and reduces its engagement in Germany - and shifts it towards China, because of the killing energy costs in Germany. So do many other big corporations, more or less unreported by the media and unnoticed by the public. The deindustrialization of Germany has started and wins pace - and to my irritation almost nobody puts reporting it on the agenda. They talk about it as something maybe happening in the future, but the quota of inditztry in German eocnomy is dropping substantially since 3, 4 years already and the trend accelerated drastically in the past 6-12 months.

That is quite worrying and I should imagine the same pattern will be replicated in other european countries.
