The Real Politick with Mark Sleboda

Washington Post: The US and EU no longer believe that Russia will lose on the battlefield or that its economy will be destroyed by sanctions The publication notes that the stalemate, which has been going on for three years now, has become a strategic disaster for Moscow, but Russia can still outlive Washington and its allies due to its enormous mass of forces and resources. The publication also states that this is precisely why the partners are now more inclined to negotiate and are giving Ukraine various hints about this. @Slavyangrad

Our source in the Office of the President said that Andrey Yermak believes the main task for Ukraine is to draw NATO into direct confrontation with Russia. This, he says, would allow our country to join the Alliance and win the war. We have no alternative scenarios—our reserves and equipment are at critical levels, and we cannot withstand a prolonged war. Therefore, we must seek ways to escalate the war and provoke the Kremlin.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 One of the points of Zelensky's "victory plan" is an invitation to NATO, reports Le Monde, citing sources. The [former] President of Ukraine continues to hope for an invitation from Biden before his departure from the White House in a few months. It should be noted that Biden has repeatedly publicly opposed Ukraine's membership in the Alliance. Critics of Zelensky also expressed the opinion that he would present his "victory plan" to the U.S. in order to receive a rejection, and then proceed to negotiations with Russia. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇱 Repeated Sabotage: Israel’s operation against Hezbollah today Was Attempted on Hamas in 2009. In 2009, an attempt similar to the one targeting Hezbollah was made against Hamas. Hamas had imported a large number of devices from Kenwood, which the Israeli army had rigged with explosives. However, Hamas engineers detected the threat at the last moment and foiled the operation. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk Direction: Liberation of Ukrainsk and Attacks by the Russian Armed Forces in Hrodivka Situation as of the end of September 17, 2024 🔻Russian forces continue to advance in the Pokrovsk direction. On the northern flank, fighting continues in Hrodivka, where Russian assault troops have advanced on the western outskirts of the settlement in the area of Krasnaya Street, allowing them to push the enemy out of the western part of the urban-type settlement south of the Zhuravka River. Advances by the Russian Armed Forces are also being recorded in the northern part of the settlement. Judging by footage of strikes by the enemy, Russian units have occupied buildings on Yarovaya (Stakhanov) Street. Thus, less than a third of the city remains under the control of the enemy. The situation between Novohrodivka and Hrodivka remains shrouded in the "fog of war" for now. Attacks by the enemy were recorded in the vicinity of Krytyi Yar, but it is unclear whether the AFU managed to consolidate there. Fighting continues west of Novohrodivka, and the enemy is actively counterattacking towards Mykhailivka near Selidovo. 🔻In addition, for several days in a row, reports of the success of Russian assault troops came from Ukrainsk. By the evening of September 17, footage appeared online showing the flags of the 114th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade on the mine shaft "Ukraina", at the "Ukraina" cinema, and at school No. 12: this allows us to assert full control over the settlement, which, judging by panoramic shots, did not suffer much damage. ❗️The status of the slag heap on the western outskirts of the settlement is still in question. On the one hand, without control of the settlement, it is very problematic to occupy and supply positions on this height. On the other hand, as practice shows, Ukrainian formations often cling even to extremely inconvenient positions. The capture of the city will also allow the development of the offensive towards Tsukuryne and Hirnyk.
