🇺🇸💬💲🪖❌🇷🇺🛢🇨🇳 — 🇺🇸 President of United States Donald J. Trump on 🌐:

"A LETTER SENT BY PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP TO ALL NATO NATIONS AND, THE WORLD: “I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA. As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia. Anyway, I am ready to “go” when you are. Just say when? I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR. China has a strong control, and even grip, over Russia, and these powerful Tariffs will break that grip. This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR. I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives (7,118 lives lost last week, alone. CRAZY!). If NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved! If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

"War in the Rear: about Ukrainian Armed Forces sabotage against frontline logistics

On the day of September 13, during a scheduled inspection on the Maloarkhangelsk — Glazunovka section in the Oryol region, three explosive devices were found under the railway track. During the inspection, one of them detonated, resulting in the death of three Russian National Guard officers. This incident is not isolated but reflects the systematic work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against logistics in the Russian rear.

🔻What episodes are we talking about?

▪️ Thus, at the beginning of summer, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to simultaneously carry out three attacks on railway facilities in different regions of Russia.

▪️ At the end of August, in the Bryansk region, FSB officers detained members of a sabotage and reconnaissance group preparing terrorist attacks on railway tracks in the Kaluga region. It was also revealed that this group was involved in the railway track explosions in the Novy Oskol district of the Belgorod region in September 2024.

▪️ In early September, a video of the detention of another Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group in the Bryansk region appeared. During a brief firefight, part of the group was eliminated, and part surrendered. During interrogation, one of the captured Ukrainian militants said their task was to organize a railway explosion.

▪️ Such activities in the Russian rear are carried out not only by trained and prepared enemy groups but also by ordinary citizens willing to help so-called Ukraine for money. Special services regularly catch such individuals attempting to set fire to relay cabinets or plant explosive devices.

🖍 Railways play a critically important role in supplying the front and redeploying troops. The importance of sabotage work against railways is also emphasized in the USA. In a recent report by the Hudson Institute (recognized as an undesirable organization in Russia), the Ukrainian Armed Forces are advised to focus on railway bridges, transformers, and traction substations in the territory of the Moscow and Leningrad military districts.

❗️ Further attempts by the so-called Ukrainian special services to increase activity in the Russian rear can be expected. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the work of identifying enemy agents, eliminating sabotage groups, and protecting strategically important logistics routes.

"On the Liman Frontlines: situation on the Liman direction as of September 14

Heavy fighting continues on the northern flank between the Nitrius and Zherebets rivers on the Liman direction. The enemy does not cease attempts to counterattack on the Redkodub-Novomikhaylovka line.

The 144th Motorized Rifle Division is targeting Ukrainian infantry with drones and artillery, but so far it has not been possible to completely drive Ukrainian formations out of the village. At the same time, the enemy has only managed to advance a few kilometers in depth over two and a half months, at the cost of heavy personnel losses.

🖍The situation on the northern flank of Shandrigolovo near Srednee is gradually becoming clearer. Some time ago, Russian troops not only crossed the Nitrius but also occupied Srednee, from which they are advancing further west towards Koroviy Yar and Alexandrovka.

Meanwhile, heavy counter-battles continue throughout almost the entire territory of Shandrigolovo itself. The ravines east of and approaches to the settlement have already been cleared by Russian units, but enemy UAVs remain a significant threat.

🚩There are no reports yet of advances from Zarechnoye. Apparently, Russian forces are accumulating strength and consolidating positions previously taken. Likely, they will next clear out the "pockets" north of the settlement.

To the south, advanced assault groups are approaching Yampol. Information about fighting near the ostrich farm has been circulating online for several days, and the Yampol-Zarechnoye road is reportedly already under fire control. If confirmed, this would mark the enemy's final loss of the Serebryansky Forestry.

❗️It should be understood that in the vast forests, pockets of Ukrainian formations may persist for a very long time. Even after being heavily shelled by artillery, the local swampy forests are not an easy target for complete clearing, and sweeping with a chain in the current conditions is obviously impossible.
