"In any case, there are victims. But they are silent. "We have everything under control," they say,"

— Another column of the Russian Armed Forces and a pontoon crossing were destroyed in the Kursk region, as evidenced by videos published by eyewitnesses.

"Kursk Region, Zvannoye village. Destroyed engineering structure and two groups of engineering equipment," says the Belgorod People's Republic channel, which published footage from the scene. It is claimed that the footage was filmed on August 28.

On August 28, a video also appeared on Ukrainian military channels showing strikes on military equipment in an area similar to the area in the video from the village of Zvannoye.

"Russian pontoon workers in Kursk region are very unlucky. Once they left to build a crossing, but did not arrive. First, the Big Brother worked, and then the engineering vehicles were burned by drones," blogger Sternenko wrote in his post.

✈️ Operation planning, weapons programming, combat sortie, high-precision strike, objective control and thanks from the commander. And so every day! Relentlessly and selflessly. Ukrainian MiG-29 uses GBU-62 JDAM-ER aerial bombs on bridge crossings in Kurshchyna. Did you recognize the pilot?

Russian state TV saying the quiet part out loud - if they can't vassalize Ukraine, they want to "liquidate" it.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/26886216

A war of annihilation

It is firmly stated by leading Russian voices that the war is holy, against not only Ukraine but also the West, and a matter of the survival of the Russian state, as Kremlin pundits have suggested for some time. The wanton destruction in Ukraine of infrastructure, power stations, dams, harbours, grain storage facilities etc. is clearly intended to break the spirit of Ukrainians and bring civil life to a standstill especially during the coming winter.

By summer 2024, the war had moved further into a campaign of annihilation of all that is Ukrainian; the Ukrainian state, culture, identity, and anything which defines it as a nation or state.

Now, supposedly, ‘the only solution is the total liquidation of Ukraine’.

This blunt assessment is not ours. It is the key message in leading, Russian state-controlled outlets, like the main TV channels, or the RT-Sputnik network, reaching global audiences and indicating the political direction.

It expands on Putin’s erroneous claim from July 2021 that Ukraine is an artificial creation. But there is a considerable distance from Putin’s semi-philosophical, yet ridiculous, concept that Ukraine should in theory not exist, to loud and clear calls for the liquidation of all that is Ukrainian. A precise quote from Sputnik illuminates this imperialist, revisionist position.

“Стратегически может быть достигнуто одно – единственное решение, связанное с Украиной, это полная ее ликвидация как самостоятельной структуры

Our translation into English:

“Strategically, one thing can be achieved – the only solution related to Ukraine is its complete liquidation as an independent entity

The words came from the Russian parliamentary deputy, political advisor Anatoly Wasserman. He may not be the most prominent speaker, but his words and similar calls by others are condoned and promoted. Having less prominent speakers push the boundaries of mainstream communication and perceptions is a Kremlin tactic we have already documented.

Don’t be deceived.

"If you put boots on Russian soldiers and give them a gun, they are already obligated to shoot and, first of all, to die. Why they surrendered in groups, not laying down their lives like their peers at Kursk Bulge?"

Russian propagandist Sladkov criticized Russian servicemen for surrendering en masse in the Kursk region. Sladkov himself never took part in battles, was never on the frontline, and has spent his entire life engaged in PR and propaganda of generals of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

🇺🇦 Ще одне жирне ураження — склад боєприпасів з особовим складом всередині. росіяни зайняли будівлю шиномонтажу на Курському напрямку і деякий час звозили туди зброю та боєприпаси. Коли ми побачили, що відвантаження закінчилося, почали працювати скидами, щоб росіяни сховалися всередині. Ну, а далі дивимося, як воно гарно горить :)

🇬🇧 Another significant strike — an ammunition depot with personnel inside. The russians occupied a tire repair building on the Kursk direction and for some time had been transporting weapons and ammunition there. When we noticed that the shipments had ended, we started attacking with drops, forcing the russians to take cover inside. Then, we watched as it beautifully burned :)

📡📸🔥Satellite images show the spread of fire across the territory of the Rosrezerv oil depot near the Astakhov farm in the Rostov region

A new photo taken yesterday, but several hours after the previous one, shows that the fire had already spread to a third fuel tank on Wednesday. Eyewitness videos and data from NASA's FIRMS system, which tracks fires on the Earth's surface, show that the oil depot continues to burn on Thursday. Local Telegram channels write that firefighters do not have enough special devices to extinguish the fire, which supply foam to neutralize burning fuel.

Let us recall that the Atlas plant of Rosrezerv in the Kamensky district of the Rostov region has been attacked by drones for the second time: before that, a drone attacked it on August 3, but the fire was quickly extinguished. As Radio Liberty found out then, in 2020, a demonstration training session "on the release of petroleum products for the needs of the army" was held at the facility as part of the Kavkaz military exercises.

Along with the oil depot near the Astakhov farm, another Rosrezerv oil depot in the Rostov region, near Proletarsk, continued to burn for at least the 11th day in a row. Today, NASA satellites no longer record fire there, but local authorities have not reported that the fire has been extinguished.
