The military operation in Ukraine will continue until “original Russian territories” are liberated, Dmitry Medvedev says | Moscow will add even more new regions to its territory, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said on the first anniversary of the country’s unification with the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The residents of the four territories took part in referendums a year ago and made the decision “to be with their Fatherland,” Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel on Saturday. ● Speaking about the ongoing fighting in Ukraine, Medvedev, who now holds the position of deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, insisted that Moscow’s military operation would continue until the current regime in Kiev is “destroyed and the original Russian territories are liberated from the enemy.”

Jeffrey D. Sachs | Last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg committed a Washington gaffe, meaning that he accidentally blurted out the truth | In testimony to the European Union Parliament, Stoltenberg made clear that it was America’s relentless push to enlarge NATO to Ukraine that was the real cause of the war and why it continues today. Here are Stoltenberg’s revealing words:

💬 “The background was that President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement. That was what he sent us. And was a pre-condition for not invade Ukraine. Of course, we didn’t sign that. ● The opposite happened. He wanted us to sign that promise, never to enlarge NATO. He wanted us to remove our military infrastructure in all Allies that have joined NATO since 1997, meaning half of NATO, all the Central and Eastern Europe, we should remove NATO from that part of our Alliance, introducing some kind of B, or second-class membership. We rejected that. ● So, he went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. He has got the exact opposite.”

To repeat, he [Putin] went to war to prevent NATO, more NATO, close to his borders. Why does Russia oppose NATO enlargement? For the simple reason that Russia does not accept the US military on its 2,300 km border with Ukraine in the Black Sea region. Russia does not appreciate the US placement of Aegis missiles in Poland and Romania after the US unilaterally abandoned the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. ● Russia also does not welcome the fact that the US engaged in no fewer than 70 regime change operations during the Cold War (1947-1989), and countless more since, including in Serbia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, and Ukraine. Nor does Russia like the fact that many leading US politicians actively advocate the destruction of Russia under the banner of “Decolonizing Russia.” That would be like Russia calling for the removal of Texas, California, Hawaii, the conquered Indian lands, and much else, from the U.S.

Amid Kiev's botched counteroffensive, which has shown no progress since its initiation in early June, there is a growing number of Ukrainian soldiers opting to surrender by raising a white flag. | Clayton Morris, an American journalist, has expressed his astonishment at a series of videos showcasing the significant surrender of Ukrainian armed forces (UAF) servicemen. This surrender was seen even through the utilization of a newly established Russian radio frequency. “This is amazing. This is a story the Western media does not want you to see,” Morris said on his YouTube channel, referring to “tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers laying down the weapons and surrendering to the Russian troops.” ● According to a reliable source, recently there has been a significant increase in the number of Ukrainian troops utilizing a dedicated radio frequency to communicate their willingness to disarm. The revelation comes after the individual's statement was reported by Russian media. The frequency was set up by Russian forces in mid-summer.

Vučić stated that he had a long conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken about Kosovo. [...] Vučić stated that they did not agree on the nature of what happened in Kosovo, especially the one related to Kosovo's sovereignty.
💬 "I don't care what anyone in the world thinks about it. We have evidence that at least one, and possibly two people were literally liquidated in cold blood, when they were not liquidated in battle, but only wounded, they were alive and surrendered, and then they were liquidated from a short distance. I didn't want to agree that it was any kind of perfectly professionally done action," said Vučić.

President of Serbia stated that he asked Blinken why EULEX was not allowed to participate in the operation in the north of Kosovo and Metohija. Vučić said that the US secretary also spoke about possible measures against Serbia "if we do not behave appropriately".
💬 "You are a big country, a superpower, it's yours to do what you think you have to, I'm completely against that and I think it's very bad, but there are things we have to stick to, and that's first and foremost the truth," Vucic said. "Our country has evidence, we will prosecute cold-blooded killers, we have statements and photos that confirm it," said Vučić. "Our country has evidence, we will prosecute cold-blooded killers, we have statements and photos that confirm it," said Vučić.

On Friday 29 September at 15:00, the seminar "How safe and effective are vaccines against COVID-19?" will start. The event will be hosted by Independent Member of Parliament Elsa Widding. Invited are all Members of Parliament and other specially invited guests. MoD Media will be there filming and you can watch the seminar live here: The seminar in the Parliament on 29 September will focus on the safety and effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccines. It has been over two years since mass vaccination began, and now that the WHO has cancelled the pandemic, recommendations for certain groups continue. Before Sweden decides on the WHO's powers for future pandemic measures, it is important to have a clear picture of the safety of the vaccines and how quickly they were authorised, and whether other effective treatments were available when the pandemic began. Experts are invited to shed light on different aspects of the topic. (Translation: DeepL.com)

It seems no small coincidence this is announced to take place just one day BEFORE the US Emergency Alert System (EAS) test, scheduled for October 4. | With all the bru-ha-ha about the U.S. conducting its first nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test on October 4, it is eerily unsettling that Russia has just announced its first nationwide CIVILIAN nuclear attack exercise one day earlier, on Oct. 3. This first nationwide nuclear attack exercise across 11 time zones is openly stated by Russia to be "in preparation for potential nuclear war." It is scheduled to take place on October 3 and will see Vladimir Putin’s regime present the West as a nuclear aggressor. The one-day nuclear attack exercise, which has only ever been done region by region, will include preparation for the destruction of up to 70% of Russian housing stock and life support facilities. It will assume, for the exercise, that martial law has been introduced in Russia and that is has gone through full mobilization.
