According to Poo-tin, it was a soldier who played with a . Ukraine had nothing to do with this accident.
Prezelya having sh*t himself in front of his friends and the people of Ukraine along with his lackeys continues to hide the truth about himself.
A complete collapse, blackout of Ukrainian territory was arranged for unwanted pensioner PrezeZelensky and "Kharkovoblenergo" – Bogodukhov RES (russia could not do this) disconnecting the electricity for several months in order to close his mouth and freedom of speech. And everything is covered by law enforcement officers and DBI of Ukraine.
ПреЗеля обгадившись перед друзьями и народом Украины вместе со своими холуями, продолжает закрывать правду о себе.
Полный коллапс блекаут на украинской территории устроил неугодному пенсионеру ПрезеЗеленский и "Харьковоблэнерго" – Богодухов РЭС (раша не смогла этого сделать), отключив электричество на несколько месяцев с целью закрыть рот и свободу слова. И всё крышуется (покрывается) правоохранителями и ДБР Украины.
Amazing that a Ukrainian Drone Strike and Missiles can cause an Earthquake 🫨.
Yeah sure – MSM making up stuff to sell their advertising space 😂
Russian Ministry of Defense claims full occupation of Heorhiyivka village of Donetsk region of Ukraine
The Zelenskyy regime can not be allowed to continue with it's existence, for the safety of not only Russia, but Europe and the wider world. Nato (Anglo – U.S. occupied Europe) sponsors fascists
they should have said : when it goes up up it will be as powerful as a nuclear blast not it can withstand a nuclear blast
we're already at war with russia.. kinetic is the only one not yet
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan confirmed on Thursday that Ankara is willing to join BRICS but said that the republic doesn’t have enough information regarding institutional development at the grouping.
"Amid the ongoing diversification globally, we are certainly considering various options as regards trade and economic cooperation. BRICS now is a platform, but it is not institutionalized enough <…>. When we join BRICS, we will see how everything evolves. We are looking forward to it," Fidan said in an interview with Turkey's state-run news agency Anadolu when asked to comment on the situation around Ankara’s intentions to become a BRICS member.
Should Turkey’s economic cooperation with the European Union have resulted in full-fledged membership of the bloc, Ankara would not have sought alternatives across the board, Fidan explained. But then Ankara always looks for new opportunities to expand its trade and economic cooperation anyway, he added.
"We are eyeing not only BRICS, but also ASEAN, with which we are seeking to cooperate, too," Turkey’s top diplomat continued. According to him, Turkey is also at the center of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation and Islamic associations, including the Developing Eight (D-8) Organization for Economic Cooperation. "Looking at these associations from the point of view of their scale and market potential, it will be easier to act in cooperating with them when a need for a larger integration arises," he said.
Almost all Turkish banks are virtually trying to stop servicing transactions related to Russia and transfer them to only one local financial institution, an informed source in the field of Turkish financial consulting told TASS.
"Based on the current situation, almost all Turkish banks virtually want to completely withdraw from transactions with Russia and Belarus. They would like to leave all these transactions to Emlak Katilim Bank in order to protect themselves from possible future problems in the form of restrictions and sanctions," the source said.
The issue concerns private and state-owned Turkish banks that do not have foreign partners, mainly Western ones. Financial institutions with Western participation have already effectively stopped servicing transactions related to Russia.
The source noted that "only Emlak Katilim Bank carries out trading transactions in the Russian ruble/Turkish lira pair".
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to Turkey Alexey Erkhov, commenting on the situation in the interbank sphere, told TASS that Turkish banks are increasingly "squeezing out companies" involved in the transit of goods to Russia, blocking their transfers and closing their accounts.
The Russian Armed Forces struck the main center of special radio communications of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The attack was conducted with the use of tactical aviation, drones, missile and artillery troops.
The Russian army also struck critically important objects of the airfield infrastructure of Ukraine, concentrations of manpower and military equipment of the AFU in 142 districts.
On September 15, the head of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring) said that Russia's mass production of Iskander missiles and aerial gliding bombs was a big problem for the AFU on the battlefield.
Budanov also said that reports about the transfer of ammunition from the DPRK to Russia were another "serious headache" for Ukraine's defense.
"I can say directly: the fact that they supply ballistic missiles there is unpleasant for us, but these are not the volumes. As for ammunition, this is critically [dangerous]," the head of Ukrainian intelligence said.
This is biased to comedic level 😂
Слава Україні 🇺🇦
Героям слава! ✊🔱
Разом, роби перемоги! 🇸🇪
Regarding RT although I agree with the idea they arent a news organisation Id also like to point out the The Telegraphs rampant nonsense on Brexit that has damaged the UKs world standing and reduced our influence. Both organisations have questions to answer. Certainly Putin would have been pleased with The Telegraphs output during that time as Brexit has undoubtedly weakened Europe as a whole: did it in part emboldened him to attack Ukraine?
Justice for David.
EU war mongering globalist idiots. The Netherlands out of the eu NEXIT!!!!
Stick your propaganda up your hole
It was not a " mini earthguake." It was simply an explosion that registered on seismographs. A real earthquake is when tectonic plates move either by subduction or abduction against another plate. Any explosion or violent event will register.
Again considered and useful information
