Putin-Trump-Scholz Shadowy Corrupt Dealings with Putin Under Pretext of Peace Negotiations
By Irina SEVEIN | UAObserver
What is so "productive" about Trump's phone call with Putin and Russia's rejection of Trump's ceasefire? Is it about Putin productively corrupting both Trump and Scholz?
As multiyear practice shows, Russia's business deals with the West are part of Putin's warfare against the West - a way to corrupt the Western establishment, turning it into Russian lobbyists or Putin's secret weapons against their own countries.
It is a usual practice for Putin to bribe corrupt foreign politicians, often using hidden bearer shares inside the energy deals. Otherwise, it would be inexplicable why Trump and Scholz would agree to a deal benefiting only Russia when Putin attacks an ally - Ukraine and wages a hidden warfare of attrition against both the US and the West, including Germany.

Why Witkoff, US Special Envoy to Middle East, Negotiating with Russia and Not Specially Assigned nvoy Kellogg?
By Irina SEVEIN | UAObserver
The response is simple. The situation in the Middle East is directly connected to Putin. The deadly Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, which happened on Putin's birthday on October 7, was sponsored by Putin.

Putin needed to divert the attention and resources of the West from Ukraine to the Middle East, and this is precisely what happened. After the Russia-sponsored attack, for more than half a year, Ukraine was deprived of US military aid, and all the attention was redirected to the Middle East, which gave Russia a massive advantage against Ukraine.

Chinese Peace Plan? There is no Chinese Peace Plan
By Irina Severin | UAObserver
Russian peace plan disguised as "Chinese peace plan"
What to know about the Chinese peace plan? There is no Chinese peace plan. China promotes a Russian peace plan disguised as a "Chinese peace plan."
This is an old Russian false flag tactic of promoting its own plans as a third party's plan to increase the chances of its implementation by the weight and authority of the false flag used, in this case, the Chinese flag.
Yes, China has introduced some decorations that should make the plan more acceptable, like phrases about sovereignty and territorial integrity, only to annihilate them with the following demands. Such an approach is hypocrisy as a political strategy - to obtain what Russia wants while preserving a semblance of decency.

Putin's Uranium Obsession Makes Kazakhstan Next Target
By Irina Severin | UAObserver
Gurulyov: "Kazakhs are next after Ukrainians. The decision is taken."

Andrey Gurulyov, a deputy of the 8th State Duma for the ruling "United Russia" faction and a former deputy Commander of the Southern Military District of the Russian military, stated lately: "Kazakhs are next after Ukrainians. The decision is taken."
Why Kazakhstan? Does it mean that Europe can relax?
Russia desperately needs Kazakhstan, the largest producer of uranium, accounting for 43% of global production and possessing the biggest Uranium reserves—13% of global reserves. Russia is also mentioned among the major Uranium producers, but Russia processes Kazakh Uranium as Russia does not have its own Uranium deposits. Russia is afraid that it can lose access to Kazakhstan's fields.
Recently to increase the reserves of Uranium, a Russia-sponsored coup d'état in Niger - one of the major producers of Uranium, which led to the expulsion of the West from the country.
But why Russia so desperately needs Uranium?

West's Soft Power vs. Russia's Reflexive Control
According to Politico, Speaker Mike Johnson eyes Russian assets in favor of Ukraine's military aid.
Bipartisan legislation would let the U.S. seize $5B to $8B in Russian assets.
The US should lead strongly in seizing Russian assets to prove its credibility as a leader, not follow a European approach restrained by fear, which is definitely much better than no action.
To generate fear, Russians invest massively in fearmongering to scare the West. Fear is the most damaging factor and defining when reacting to Russian aggression.
Russians weaponize fear against the West.
According to Russian Reflexive Control, the mere threats of using nuclear weapons affect the enemies' brains in the same way as the real use of nuclear weapons - paralyzing and disabling them.
The massive threats Russians issue through their propaganda channels do scare the West to death and give Russia a huge advantage - the possibility of defeating the West without using weapons.
The West should overcome fear and act as smoothly as possible while emphasizing the fairness and inevitability of their steps, which are the Russian choice in the first hand.
Did Russia expect to be treated as a respected member of an international community while breaking all the rules?

Iran-backed, Russia-sponsored Houthis Special Military Operation in Red Sea
Irina Severin | UAObserver
The Hindustan Times video shows against whom the international coalition is fighting in the Red Sea. Officially, "Iran-backed" Houthis situationally are Russian proxies. Iran in Russia's false flag operation is a convenient cover-up for Russian covert operations and a scapegoat blindly used by Putin in Russia's big game for global dominance.

Putin's Golden Share in American elections or Why Biden doesn't supply Ukraine with ATACAMS and F-16s?
Irina Severin | UAObserver
Why Biden doesn’t supply Ukraine with ATACAMS despite Congress's bipartisan support, except for the radical Putinite faction inside the GOP opposing any aid to Ukraine.
Biden's reelection directly depends on Putin. Putin's "Golden share" in the American presidential election is the Russia-sponsored third-party candidates, which ultimately decide the destiny of the American elections, shifting the balance in favor of one or another candidate.
This was the case in 2016 when the Green Party candidate shifted the balance in Trump's favor. The same happened in 2020 when the Libertarian candidate decided the election's result, favoring Biden's win.
Both were Putin-sponsored spoilers meant to manipulate the result of the US election, and they did it in both cases very successfully.

Lack of offensive weapons supply by the US and other allies
Ukraine has to be prepared, and most of all, Ukraine needs offensive weapons. For now, Biden makes Ukraine advance without appropriate weapons, which would lead to the immediate obliteration of the entire Ukraine army by Russian forces, possessing supremacy in the air.
Ukraine can't take chances and doesn't have second chances for simple reasons. It is impossible to resurrect fallen fighters, who, in bulk - are civilians forced by Russian aggression to become soldiers.
Ukraine should do everything to win and to win with minimal losses. Ukraine is a European nation and can't, like Russia, use its people as expandable material.
Ukraine needs more time and weapons to prepare for the final attack, which will undoubtedly be swift and decisive.
Ukraine needs to win, not commit spectacular self-sacrifice live

Prigozhin's short-lived triumph and Putin's next failure to replace Shoigu
As for the continuation of the story, Putin and Prigozhin understood differently the deal they made via Lukashenko. Putin won't fire Shoigu, which was the main condition of Prigozhin. Not because Putin doesn't want to, he can't.
The fact that yesterday, Alexei Diumin was called to the Kremlin means that Putin counted on Prigozhin to eliminate Shoigu to replace him with his long-time bodyguard and loyalist Diumin finally.
In 2021 after the Duma elections, Putin already tried to replace Shoigu with his other former bodyguard Yevgeny Zinichev, who then occupied the same position as earlier Shoigu - the head of the Emergency Ministry.

Did Shoigu overplay Prigozhin and who framed whom?

By swearing allegiance to Shoigu, "Akhmat" and Kadyrov crossed the line, which is punishable |
The scandal between Prigozhin and Shoigu involving Kadyrov, Delimkhanov, and Putin has changed the Russian political landscape a bit. However, it was not Prigozhin who framed Putin by refusing to sign an agreement with Shoigu, as it looks like, but Kadyrov, who signed it. Especially so as Shoigu issued his order without Putin's approval, challenging him.
The "Akhmat" Special Rapid Response Unit is a subdivision of the Russian Guard, personally subordinate to Putin and headed by his former bodyguard Zolotov. "Akhmat" in no way is not "a volunteer unit" mentioned in Shoigu's order.
Putin created the Russian Guard as a counterbalance to Shoigu's army for Putin's protection after one of the attempts on his life. Putin let Kadyrov create a de facto private army located in Chechnya which was formally subordinated to the Russian Guard in exchange for Kadyrov's promise to be "Putin's infantry" protecting him and his clan. But the sudden public Akhmat signing of an agreement with Shoigu meant an over to the side of the rival clan.

Shoigu targets Prigozhin, hits Putin clan
UAObserver
Defense minister Sergei Shoigu's directive demanding that all ‘volunteer detachments’ must sign military contracts by the end of the month aimed at taking under control Wagner and other paramilitary formations, not subordinates to him.
The directive was not agreed with Putin. Which especially important that these paramilitary formations belong to the competing Putin clan and initially were meant to balance Shoigu's extensive military force, directly subordinated and loyal to him. By such a move made under the pretext of aligning all military formations, Shoigu substantially weakened Putin's clan.
The main target of the Shoigu directive is Wagner, whose owner Prigozhin lately openly criticized Shoigu for ineffectiveness. Lately, there were more so-called private armies created to protect the Putin clan or, de facto, to protect the owners of companies and heads of the regions, as lately, weakened by sanctions and isolation Putin started to cease being a guarantor for their positions, or property rights.

The Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Colin Kahl, is convinced that Ukraine doesn't need F-16 and long-range weapons in the counter-offensive against Russian invaders |
Russian military trap in making
There is a really bizarre situation. The Russian propagandists, setting the main noise background of the war, talk about the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine but completely forget about the Russian offensive, which, apparently, is curtailed. Wagner's Prigozhin declares the need to stop where Russian forces are and begin to defend already occupied positions.
Russian propagandists actively praise the Ukrainian army and depict Russia's future defeat in the decisive battle, thus encouraging Ukraine's counter-offensive. Why stop the Russian offensive and spread the defeatist scenarios? And is Moscow really scared by the Ukrainian army?
Not that simple. The Russian side relies on the Ukrainian counter-offensive to win as Moscow is convinced that Ukraine's army will lose without airplanes and long-range weapons.
Russia's calculation is that with predominance in the air Russian army will be able to stop Ukraine's counter-offensive, encircle unprotected Ukrainian troops and destroy them, and after that, launch a full-scale offensive against Ukraine.
Political decision-making vs. military
Despite massive Western military aid to Ukraine, Russia still has the advantage in airplanes and long-range weapons. Therefore, Ukraine's offensive on the ground without protection from the air benefits Russia's military enormously.

Steinmeier Formula: from War of Attrition to War of Annihilation
What does Zelensky expect from the Normandy Summit of Four - signing a capitulation in the presence of Putin, Merkel, and Macron? It would be suicidal not only for Zelensky and Ukraine but also for Europe as this would lead to a large-scale Syria kind of war in Europe, replacing controllable Russian partial occupation of Ukraine.
Now Russia is leading a war of attrition against Ukraine. The recognition of the Russian military exclave inside Ukraine would provoke Moscow to start a war of annihilation against Ukraine while pretending to be a peace-maker.
Shoigu already promised "to stop Ukrainian extremists" and regretted that "it was not done earlier."

Russia intends to impose Transnistrization scheme on Ukraine

The EU loses its position even though it offers a massive amount of aid to the country and pays a significant part of its budget. However, the public either does not know about this or sees this as a bribing of Moldovan authorities by the EU bureaucrats as Russian propaganda touts this.
During the last decade, Moscow has run a relentless disinformation campaign in Moldova. Still, there are no signs of informing the public about the EU assistance, neither the EU nor the Moldovan authorities.
Moreover, the money paid by the EU for years for the construction and renovation of kindergartens, hospitals, and schools in Transnistria (not in Moldova!) is attributed by the locals to Moscow and seen as Russian investment in the region's development.
