Protests in Russia's Dagestan region against new draft

People in Russia's Dagestan region have clashed with police in the latest protests against Moscow's call-up of 300,000 military reservists.

Over 100 people were arrested during protests in the regional capital Makhachkala, OVD-Info, an independent Russian human rights monitor said.

It said it was concerned by reports of the province's "very tough detentions".

Dagestan is a mainly Muslim region of Russia with a higher death toll than any other province in the war.

Recent analysis by the BBC's Russian service showed that at least 301 soldiers from Dagestan have died, 10 times more than in Moscow. The true figure is likely to be far higher.

More than 2,000 people have been arrested at mass protests since Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilisation of military reservists on Wednesday.

While large protests have taken place in major cities across Russia in recent days - with more than 700 people being arrested on Saturday alone - the images of Dagestani demonstrators fighting with police marked a rare outbreak of violence against authorities.

Dozens of videos posted to social media showed protesters confronting police and other security officials in Makhachkala, with OVD-Info reporting that officers resorted to using stun guns and truncheons on the crowds.

In one video, a man detained by officials headbutts a police officer, before being beaten by other personnel.

Another video showed a security officer fleeing from a large group of demonstrators, some of whom attempted to grab and trip him as he ran.

With their arsenal of around 6000+ warheads its enough if they can bring just every 10th weapon to launch and detonation. Thats also true if only looking at tactical nukes, of which Russia has around 2000.
The US has slightly less nuclear weapons in total, but a higher ammount of them are launch-ready at any time, and they have the - small - lead in the strategic sector, whereas Russia has more tactical nukes than the US.

Putin told Erdogan that he is ready for negotiations with Ukraine, but "on new conditions", - Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu

Russian dictator Putin told Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he was ready for negotiations with Ukraine.

This was stated by the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Censor.NET informs with reference to Anadolu.

According to him, the meeting between Putin and Zelensky could lead to a ceasefire.

Çavuşoğlu added that at a meeting with Erdogan in Samarkand, the Russian dictator said he was ready to return to negotiations.

"However, the longer the war lasts, the more complicated it becomes, the more difficult it is to end it. Of course, they also say that there are new conditions," the minister said. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3369725

Ten EU countries insist on limiting price of Russian gas, - Reuters

Ten countries of the European Union insist on the development of plans to establish a price ceiling for Russian gas.

This is reported by Reuters with reference to the draft document, Censor.NET reports with reference to LigaBusinessInform.

The countries plan to ask the European Commission to make proposals on the maximum price for gas for discussion at the meeting of EU energy ministers on Friday, the publication notes.

"We recognize the efforts made by the Commission and the measures it has proposed to overcome the crisis. But we still have to solve the most serious problem: the wholesale price of natural gas," Reuters quotes the contents of the letter from EU ministers to the European Commission.

According to the publication, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Malta and Greece will make such a proposal.

EU countries justify the idea of ​​capping Russian gas prices on the grounds that it will help overcome "unwarranted inflationary pressures" and can be designed in such a way as to ensure supply reliability.

Reuters adds that Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark oppose capping Russian gas prices because it would jeopardize the security of gas supplies to Europe.

The European Commission was expected to issue an update this week on new sanctions in response to the Russian mobilization and mock referendum, but EU officials said on Monday that it was now expected in early October.

Great Britain introduced sanctions against Russian Federation due to pseudo-referendums

Great Britain introduced new sanctions against Russia due to the holding of pseudo-referendums in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.

This is reported on the website of the government of Great Britain, Censor.NET informs.

"This process repeats their (Russian. - Ed.) approach in Crimea in 2014, which combines disinformation, intimidation and false results. These referendums do not reflect the will of the Ukrainian people and are a serious violation of the territorial integrity and political independence of Ukraine," the minister emphasized of Foreign Affairs James Cleverley.

The list includes 92 individuals and legal entities. Among them are 33 Russian officials whom the Kremlin sent to the captured territories, as well as local traitors. The sanctions package also includes 55 managers of Russian state companies, in particular, members of the board of Gazprombank, Sberbank and Sovkombank.

In particular, the list includes:

- Serhiy Yeliseev: head of the "government" in Kherson, vice-admiral of the Russian fleet. Since his escape from the Ukrainian Navy in 2014, Yeliseev has continued to undermine Ukraine's independence
- Ivan Kusov: "Minister of Education and Science" of the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic".
- Yevhen Balytskyi: appointed by Russia as the head of the so-called "Government" in Zaporizhzhia.
- Yevhenii Solntsev, deputy head of the so-called "DPR".

IMA Consulting, which is called "Putin's favorite PR agency", was also sanctioned. The IMA has reportedly been tasked with leading public campaigns for these bogus referendums and to spread their false legitimacy in Russia. Also on the "black" list was "Gosznak", a company for the production of security documents, known for its monopoly on the production of "tens of millions" of state documents, including expedited passports in the territories temporarily occupied by Russia.

I wasn't sure if anyone caught this or read this report this morning. This may tie in to the Ukrainian / Russian war.

Russia has reported that 22 children have been hurt and 11 children have been killed in a school shooting, 15 fatalities thus far. Apparently, a gunman wearing Nazi symbols opened fire at a school in the western Russian city of Izhevsk, Russian authorities said Monday.

Quote: Russian officials named the shooter as Artem Kazantsev, a local resident born in 1988 who was an alumnus of the school where the shooting took place. The identification process was delayed because no documents were found on the body of the suspect, TASS reported. Investigators have started searching Kazantsev’s residence and probing reports of his “neo-fascist views and Nazi ideology,” Russia’s Investigative Committee said. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the attacker was “a person who, apparently, belongs to a neo-fascist organization or group.”

I don't believe in coincidences. If this school shooting is true, I would bet that it was staged by Putin to rally his countrymen in the war against what he describes as " Nazis in the Ukraine." Now there has been a shooting by someone wearing swastika's . I think this is another chapter from Putin's sad " playbook."

Earlier in the Ukrainian war, Putin was in the act of staging other incidents that were to be committed by Ukrainian's. Various Western intelligence agencies discovered the plots before they came to fruition. Putin knows his citizenry doesn't believe in his war and certainly doesn't want to fight in it.

In a registration and recruitment office in Siberia, a man shot a recruitment officer. The shooter was subsequently detained, writes the governor of the Irkutsk region. The shooting took place in the city of Ust-Ilimsk in eastern Siberia. According to several reports on Telegram, the man walked into the office and said "no one will fight," before opening fire.

With the satellite countries turning against Russia, Iran on the brink of secular revolution, china and India backing down support, Putin gets more and more on the road to his exit.
