1. The situation has improved in Novorossiya but is still quite serious. The enemy still has an overwhelming advantage in hardware and men and in some instances shows they know how to use that preponderance.
2. As the Army of Novorossiya goes about it’s task of freeing cities, towns and villages they are followed by what relief is available for the newly freed citizens. Also in the follow up are trained investigators who have been keeping detailed records and evidence of the depredations of the occupying forces. While the hanging tree will not be used, there is no doubt that some of the occupiers will be in prison for a long time.
3. The rumors of a large USA tank force in the Talakivka area are false.
4. The relief column of humanitarian aid sent to Lugansk City was welcome. It is of vast interest that USA and EU have warned RF not to do it again. Perhaps when the war is over some of those western political types should be brought to Novorossiya (preferably in chains) to explain to the citizens why they should be denied aid under the remorseless bombardments of the Ukeland army.
5. The new Cauldron in south central liberated territory of Novorossiya is being steadily reduced. The occupants have been given the choice of surrender themselves and their equipment or die. At the moment their commanders have chosen that they die. Of interest is the units trapped in the cauldron are the ones whose depredations against the innocent civilians are well documented as being the worst.
6. The rumors that Poroshenko will surrender today are false. He is still extolling his ‘peace plan’ of the Army of Novorossiya lays down their arms, gets investigated by Ukeland, anyone suspected of crimes against Ukeland will be imprisoned, and then he will negotiate.
7. The airfields in Donetsk City proper and Lugansk City proper have not been assaulted beyond bombardments as of 05:00 this morning. Both are honeycombed with underground service passageways and will be expensive in manpower to take by force. Perhaps the answer is to simply drive the Ukes underground, bring in truckloads of stone to seal all the exits but one and wait them out. The one exit will be their portal of surrender.
8. Mariupol was handed to the Ukes some months ago in a deal with Ahkmetov. It was to Mariupol that all the previous Uke administrations of Novorossiya fled at the beginning of the conflict with their underlings, many bringing their entire families and hangers on. The city was also the rear base of many of the oligarch’s private ‘battalions’, a rest and replenish area thought to be totally secure. It has been known for months that there was no real security in the area for the Ukes, in other words the entire area was wide open. The attack south along the RF border then turning west along the coast toward Mariupol was a masterpiece of deception, tactics and strategy. The flight in panic of all the golden pheasants and their minions was and is epic. Their flight is spreading worry and in some instances panic as far away as Melitopol and Kerson to the south and Dnepropetrovsk to the northeast of Novorossiya.
9. Partizan activities are increasing in frequency and force in the Kharkov and Slavyansk areas to the point Kharkov is building defenses facing Novorossiya. Of particular interest was the capture two weeks ago of an entire Kamaz load of Javelin antitank missiles. These missiles were offloaded from the ‘Canadian’ air force planes that brought ‘non lethal’ aid to the Uke army according to eye witnesses. The Javelin is not listed in the TOE (Table of Organization and Equipment) of the armed forces of Canada, although I have few doubts that oversight will be rectified within minutes of this report being read in The West.
10. The entire Uke force of airworthy air assets has now been shot down one and a half times. To qualify that statement, one should remember that when Belbek Aerodrome north of Sevastopol was taken there were 5 airframes of 43 on base that were airworthy, one of which was a trainer. This is indicative of the condition of the entire Uke armed forces. The problem with this fact is where are the units coming from that are being used by the Ukes? The answer is Germany, Poland and Czech are still supplying the ukes with equipment and aircraft from their stocks of equipment left from ‘the old days’. Those 3 countries are also supplying the ukes with T 72 main battle tanks in pristine condition and other AFV’s. Most of the Uke T 72’s were sold off and exported during the Yushenko/Tymoshenko regime. Reports of crews and maintenance personnel provided with the equipment are not 100% verified.
11. The persistent reports from Ukeland of RF columns of tanks and AFV’s entering Ukeland are false as are the Uke statements of the destruction of these columns. There will be no entry of RF forces in to Novorossiya nor will there be an invasion of Ukeland by RF, wishful thinking be damned. If RF was to invade she would not send half a Rota of armor, she would send half a dozen tank armies.
12. The massive destruction of cities, towns and villages of Novorossiya is ongoing. Every day and every night the bombardments continue. Civilian areas are mainly the targets. The destruction has been carefully planned and executed. The damage is in the many billions of euros and will take years to repair. The loss of life and injuries to the innocent civilians well exceeds 5,000 since the beginning of the war in April. The time for negotiations with Ukeland are long gone. The war will end when every single occupier of Novorossiya land from Ukeland is either ejected, in a POW camp or dead. Fact.

Thanks a lot Juan.
Nice to see you over here.

Sorry, but the map you posted is false. Here’s the accurate one, maintained under supervision of Fyodor Berezin:

By the way, is there any chance to get recent photos from the newly liberated Telmanove?
An annoying ukro-fascist troll is trying to convince me there are no Novorossiyan forces at all, ROFL. I want to shut him up with clear evidence.
According to the Kiev Defense Ministry map, the aid convoy had to pass through the Kiev front line 4 times (2x there and 2x back) as Lugansk was “SURROUNDED!”. Either Kiev let the convoy through on the quiest or the map is rubbish.
But it is the BBC map that will convince Western viewers of what it is wrong.
It shows Ukraine surrounding its own countrymen and killing them.
The real map shows a war which can easily be interpreted as Russia vs the West.
Putin’s speech in Minsk today August 26/2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J4LgNP8ZC8
Look at the Ashton face ………..
Czech army doesn’t own any SU-25 from “old times”. Czech airforce is leasing few Gripens and that’s it. I believe that Ukraine is the only country running a junkyard full of spare parts since soviet times.
In the Czech MSM news they have announced that the discussion between Putin and Poroshenko took two hours and it wasn’t any briefing after the meeting because Poroshenko immediately left the building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the overall map covers the influence of areas our side controls.But I’m worried that things are very fluid inside the pink areas.That we don’t control them totally.Two examples.One the Russian soldiers captured were in those areas.So a force of Ukies would have to be in there to have captured the soldiers.Two,we are said to control the border almost to the Azov sea now.But there was a report of a shootout with Ukie border troops and a Russian force and helicopter on the border.I’m wondering,that we need to sweep the areas we control for Ukie forces.And do we have any control in the villages and small towns.Such as a citizens militia or something to provide order and watch for Ukie stranglers and spies.
It’s not hilarious – it’s ghastly.
I have noted a new “tone” emerging in our MSM in the UK. The first step was to demonise the FR (it was all those dreadful lies about the so-called Revolution which drove me to sites like yours in the first place), second- to ignore the conflict and now to quietly creep round to the idea that the SE of Ukraine has actually been having a really bloody hard time.
it might not seem much – but the BBC (which is basically vetted by m15 and always has been) is being told to “pivot”. No truth about how it all happened in the first place, but I detect a quiet rowing-back from making this a Big Argument with Russia.
I think the EU has taken one look at the reality of sanctions (which they only wanted to last for a token 3 months), and their effect on our economy, and decided NO. The US is balls-deep in the ME (excuse my language)and can’t afford to open another front over Ukraine.
I am so angry over the way ordinary people in Ukraine, of whatever ethnicity or political allegiance, are being used and abused, I have no words. it is pure evil.

That’s right, the rebels do not control every inch of the territory. They use a system of coverage and response (probably not the correct technical term. By this they detect incoming military and respond to it. Having responded they withdraw. That means that in the hinterlands outside of the urban areas they aim to control more fully that there will be junta forces wandering around all over the place – hopefully not in large enough columns to actually do anything productive.
As I understand it, apart from patrols by the militia the main efforts outside their areas of direct interest are the ‘boilers’ or ‘cauldrons’ where the rebels aim to entice in and then encircle the junta forces. These areas, although there are quite a few right now 7 or 8 I think, look big on the map but are not as huge as the artist’s pen draws them.
There is one excellent upside to the avarice and domination of the Ukie oligarchs. These greedy bastards have taken the budgets for defense upgrades, sold off whatever good items were in stock, have stolen the money, the goods and spent very little on training their army for 23 years.
Now they send a third rate army into the field of battle with mostly junk, so they can fire artillery and mortars but do little else.
The swift, light mobile fierce militia, now Army of the People, is whipping the hell out of the Ukies while the thieves hide in Kiev or out of the country.
Putin must smell blood and sense the fall of the junta is soon. He can play this war however he needs or wants to.
We think he wants to see all of the privy sector and criminal units of the national guard wiped out.
We think he wants the junta chased out of Kiev. And we think he wants Mariupol and Odessa, not just using Donbass as a destabilizer. We think he wants no future use of most of Ukraine to launch attacks against Russia.
In summary, he wants all Ukraine the way he needs it to be—in his sphere of influence, rebuilding itself without burdening the RF budget, paying its gas bills and forgetting any idea of NATO, missiles, nuclear warheads, Israeli comfort zones, GMO crops, fracking and spreading Western culture like a virulent virus.
His plan was Eurasia, Ukraine with the RF, and the oligarchs and nazis nullified.
The war is now primed for all these goals. The militia is an Army (small, but well-led, high spirited and supplied with what it needs for the task). It looks like Russian will give them whatever is necessary to do what needs to be done.
Whether Putin’s plans come to fruition or not is up to Putin. He holds all the cards.
Remember Slavyansk, the retreat, the fears we had?
Now, the Ukies are on the run or surrounded and can’t run.
Even the MH-17 shoot down seems meaningless to the war.
We have to keep our senses about it all.
But the ducks are lining up for the duck hunter Vlad.

> equipment and aircraft from their stocks of equipment left from ‘the old days’.
Yes, as I mentioned here before, Germany’s stocks of old GDR equipment are a very likely source of the Ukies’ seemingly inexhaustible resources in military hardware, which would prove once again that the political and cultural elites in Germany are as rabidly russophobic as the Poles, the Baltic states, much of Scandinavia etc. … I really don’t understand why there’s still so much good will towards Germany here in this forum and elsewhere.

Just a quick note, the same pivot seems to be underway here via the CBC as of approx. 5/6pm EDT. On tonights episode of Power and (Propaganda) Politics there was an interview with someone who plainly stated that at least 95% of the forces fighting against the Ukie junta are locals and not RF forces. He also stated that while we can believe the RF versions, the Ukies cannot be trusted and are full of lies. Missed the entire interview so will have to wait for it to be uploaded online, unless technical difficulties somehow prevent it. More to come…
‘Hilarious, no?’ Definitely not, considering the number of deaths of civilians and the constant fear they live under. How could you say such a thing???
In the Polish lame-scream media the shift towards the truth has been gradual, sometimes two steps forward, one step back. The two official channels e.g. in one piece from the front devote 45 sec to the Ukir propaganda and 2 minutes presenting (skewed somewhat)view of the other side: suffering population, NAF advances, junta discrepancies.
Getting rid of anglo/zio/nazi/fascist/satanic NATO/Israeli/Bilderberg/FED rule imposed on UE is a very delicate task, the population is at great risk of more bloody EuroMaidans, special operations like GLadio, Breivik, bio weapon attack, nuclear blackmail with micro-nukes.
Interesting to note that 1) the fake “execution” video shows a Brit(ain) _beheading_ America(n) 2)latest qui-pro-quo at the British embassy celebrating the burning of the White House in 1812. A thinly veiled threat to Obama from the Rothschildes/Bilderbergers/SSG?
BTW if you see how fake the Foley video is please check out the evidence for Sandy Hoax “massacre” – I recommend excellent work by Jim Fetzer.
My guess is that the MSM pivot is because Shell has now had enough time to confirm the results of its’ attempt to punch a fracked gas well down into the sweet spot just outside of Slavyansk. It must have failed (like those of Chevron earlier this year).
It was estimated that there was trillions of cubic meters of gas there. This would have allowed Nato to replace the supplies from Russian and pursue really nasty sanctions.
The dry hole outside of Slavyansk is the end of the road for such a plan. Now the goal is to try to smooth things out – blame it all on the Neo-cons, groups of CIA operatives, Nazi sympathizers, etc. Then they will bring in new players that will be nice to Russia in an attempt to get it on the side of the West against China and Iran. Meanwhile, other plots will be put in place.
@ Lumpy There is a German part of the global evil satanic cabal, big business nazi-connected from even before the WW2. Those Atlantists are a major player behind the Ukraine putsch and genocide, their ground base being Frankfurt. Check out Deutsche Bank links to FED and Bilderberg group. Bur the rest of the German has been struggling to shake off their claws choking them.
@les I think it’s rather Putin offering “carrots” to those 4 Hourseman of Oil (Dean Henderson’s term) – instead of looting Ukraine he offers them joint enterprise in the Arctic. And that’s what great leader would do – use persuasion and prospects of beneficial alternatives in addition to “sticks”. The question is how many of those inhumane globalist would give up their dreams of total dominance and control in exchange for still considerable profits from such projects as Antarctica.
According to Wikipedia the Canadian forces had the Javelin anti-tank missiles, however,they have been retired from service some time in the past without replacement.
Thanks Juan.
For a different matter, here is a piece by Sputnik Pogrom arguing that the plan of waiting for Winter to bring sanity to the Ukraine is likely to have too high of a cost. The Nazis sent children to fight at the end of WWII, and Russia may be looking at millions of refugees coming in as well as a place in ruins before long.

Thanks for the update, Juan. Good to see you are OK.
“While the hanging tree will not be used, there is no doubt that some of the occupiers will be in prison for a long time.”
Zakharchenko said the death penalty exists in Novorossia. Just make sure the scum get tried in Novorossia for their war crimes. ;

well not entirely so…
Czech Republic
Czech Air Force. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic acquired twenty-four Su-25Ks and one Su-25UBK. In December 2000, the Czech Su-25s were retired from service and placed in storage at Přerov air base.[86]

Great to hear from you Juan. Get a bit worried when you go subterranean for a while. Great news. I’m sure we’re all with you in spirit and wish we ourselves could help (apart from a few Langley trolls. Hope part of their training is to learn how to f*** themselves, hopefully with the sharp end of a barbwire wrapped barge pole).
Keep healthy and lucky. Your fight is ours.
What’s Ukrainian for Hasbara. Here is how debased Kardashian Post has been on the fighting
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/27/group-of-russian-soldiers_n_5721334.html
Over the past 24 hours, Lysenko said, there had been intense fighting further north near the town of Horlivka and Ilovaysk, about 50 km (30 miles) away in which 200 separatists had been killed and their tanks and missile systems destroyed.
Thirteen Ukrainian service personnel had been killed in the past 24 hours in 34 clashes at points across eastern and south-eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian military officials say the separatists, backed by Russian soldiers and armed with armor and military equipment coming from across the border, have switched the focus in the war towards the south-east of Ukraine down to the Azov Sea.

Good luck pal. NATO doesn’t give assistance to nations currently at war.
