The Moldovan president accused Russia of hybrid warfare.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu accused Russia of a hybrid war to overthrow the government in the country through mass protests.
According to her, the Ukrainian special services provided the Moldovan authorities with evidence, and she believed them.
The SBU materials contained instructions on the rules of entry into Moldova for citizens of Russia, Belarus, Serbia, and Montenegro who were to participate in the protests.
It seems that the Kiev regime gave the Moldovan president the U.S. methodology which was used to hold the Maidan protests and the coup in 2014. This is exactly the same technology as in all "color revolutions."

Seymour Hersh Says He May Write More About Nord Stream's Destruction
In his bombshell expose earlier this month, Hersh claimed that the United States is directly responsible for sabotaging the Nord Stream pipeline.
Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, who recently made bombshell allegations about the United States being responsible for the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline, has suggested that he may reveal further details about the โmechanismโ of this act of sabotage.
During an interview with one media outlet, Hersh claimed that the planning of the operation that resulted in Nord Streamโs destruction was โkept pretty separateโ and that it was โvery covert.โ
โIn other words, the president only learned [that] โwe can do itโ,โ Hersh said. โIโll probably write more about the mechanism.โ
He noted that it was Norway who showed the United States where the undersea pipeline was running relatively close to the surface, so that US divers could get to it and do the deed.
The journalist also remarked that the US leadershipโs actions essentially resulted in Russian people rallying behind Russiaโs President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, China's Central Foreign Affairs Office Director Wang Yi warned that the continuation of the crisis in Ukraine increases the likelihood of incidents such as the destruction of Nord Stream happening again.
"We understand the concern of European countries about the Ukrainian crisis. As the crisis drags on, Europe suffers more and more damage and incidents like Nord Stream explosions are prone to happen from time to time," Wang said while speaking to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
Earlier this month, Hersh delivered an expose on the Nord Stream destruction, claiming that US navy divers, with assistance from Norway, planted explosive charges at the pipeline under the cover of a NATO military exercise in the Baltic during summer 2022.
The explosives were triggered about three months later, as US President Joe Biden - who reportedly authorized this scheme - wanted to avoid rousing suspicion, Hersh said citing anonymous sources familiar with the planning of this operation.

CSIS has released a new publication identifying what they believe are key factors influencing the course of the war in Ukraine.
1๏ธโฃ The lack of Ukraine's own weapons and the constant need to arm. The authors of CSIS note that the Russian Federation is preventing this so far only through diplomatic and political means (alliance with Turkey, protests in European countries).
2๏ธโฃ Readiness of Europe and the USA for a big war. It is noted that the warehouses and production capacities of the NATO member countries have been pretty depleted, and therefore a large-scale restructuring, reformation and an increase in output are being carried out.
3๏ธโฃ Bet on a long conflict. According to the authors of CSIS, NATO does not yet count on a long-term conflict, unlike the Russian Federation, which began to make such a bet earlier. Related to this factor is also the question of the "morale" of the parties to the conflict. After all, the more you see how many people Ukraine is losing, the more likely it is to surrender.
4๏ธโฃ Stability of political regimes. Here, the authors of CSIS again started talking about ethnic strife in the Russian Federation and clearly make it clear that they will bet on rocking the situation through ethnic minorities. Another factor is the demoralization of the troops due to their poor equipment.
5๏ธโฃ The use of nuclear weapons. The wording is very vague: "we will not allow the use of nuclear weapons by the Russian Federation." How they plan to prevent it is not clear. However, for preventive purposes, we will refer to the old material about the US defense doctrine, where the Pendos seriously considered the possibility of delivering a preventive / disarming strike on the Russian Federation .
In general, CSIS concludes that it is necessary to escalate the conflict, increase supplies and other assistance. They say that only through the military victory of crests, it is possible to end this war.

My father once told me that, โAmericans play poker, we play Prรฉfรฉrence.โ
He never did learn how to play Poker, yet was highly critical of it. I tried to teach him how to play it properly outside of the rules alone, but the very nature of the game was anathema to him. As he said, โthe nature of Poker is to bluffโ, and this was simply something he could not comprehend nor execute in a game. It was alien to him, perhaps even incomprehensible.
Of course, he taught me to play Chess and we played often, but he would never allow me to win. I defeated him perhaps three times at most from what must have been several hundreds of games. As a fan of board games and family events, I tried to introduce many popular games over the years.
He would reject games like โBetrayal at House on the Hillโ outright, yet took to โSettlerโs of Catanโ immediately.
The point of all this personal story-telling is that Russians, or perhaps more accurately Soviets, have an entirely different psychological profile than people in the West do. Western games, which children play, are rooted at core in the ability to deceive and charm. Eastern classics like Chess and Go are openly visible to both players and depend entirely on mental skill.
Perhaps โConnect Fourโ still remains popular as a childrenโs game in the US at best, when the young ones are not clutching to a Nintendo Gameboy or Switch.
And so we now see the results of this in real-time. American politicians operate on the principle of the โbluffโ. It is not that they lie, but that they may be lying or they not be. Imagine how frustrating this must be to a negotiator who does not know how to lie when engaged in diplomacy.
Putin, Xi, Modi, and others communicate with their Western counterparts directly and mathematically, assuming that their opposition will do likewise. Yet the West in turn negotiates by bluffing, and assuming that their counterparts comprehend bluffing and will respond in kind. Perhaps what all parties say is true, perhaps not. It is always ambiguous, formless, and without meaning. Powell can hold up a bottle of white substance at the UN and the US invades Iraq. It was a โbetโ, and a โbluffโ. He and the US administration were likely very surprised when Russia demanded to actually access that vial.
As such, we are now caught in an exponential feedback loop in which neither party understand the other, and this very lack of understanding feeds the action/reaction chain. American statesman assume that Russian counterparts think the way they do, and vice versa Russian statesman assume that their American counterparts do the same.
Yet they are not only speaking different languages, but quite literally thinking in different psychological languages.
When one party (Russia) makes itโs intentions clear, the opposition must ask the question of โis this a bluff or notโ, instead of treating it seriously. And here we are nowโฆ.
-----------
P.S:
It is often said in some commentaries that, โPutin does not bluffโ.
I feel the far more frightening and honest statement would be that, โPutin does not know what a bluff is, and the Americans do not know what a given wordโs value is.โ

The situation in the Avdiivka direction is not easy..!
After losing the village of Opytne and most of the village of Vodyane, the enemy (AFU)managed to pull up reserves in the Avdiivka direction and is trying, at least here, to recapture the initiative and take back some of the previously lost positions. Yesterday, an AFU armored group attempted to advance but was discovered in time. An artillery strike was launched against the enemy.
Nevertheless, AFU activity and a counteroffensive in this direction are not ruled out.

British defense minister: tanks found not ready to be sent to Ukraine
Now that the political decision to transfer Western tanks to Ukraine has been made, many countries find that their armies do not have operational tanks that could be delivered to Kiev. British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said this in an interview with Germany's Der Spiegel.
"Politicians have sent their military to depots and found that their tanks are not ready or repaired for delivery to Ukraine." "Or that it would take some time to repair the guns or the power plant," he said.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said the same thing; he noted that it would be difficult for Western allies to assemble two full battalions of Leopard 2 tanks to send them to Ukraine as promised.
According to Wallace, NATO countries are painfully aware that their armies have been significantly weakened over the past 30 years.
"There are numbers on how many tanks each country has." But there is a reality that tells us that very few of them are serviceable. "Even the 14 Challenger tanks for Ukraine we didn't take from the depots where they were stored; they were taken off combat duty."
The minister said that the political decision was made, but then came the reality check.
According to him, this applies not only to tanks but also to ammunition and other equipment. However, tanks will definitely be delivered to Ukraine; it will just take longer.
"We have to give other partners a little more time." We have to be honest about this. Tanks are not a miracle weapon to win the war immediately. Sure, they are clearly more effective than Russian tanks. "But beyond that, the green light for Challenger or Leopard was an extremely important signal for Ukraine," the minister said.
It is worth noting that the Americans also said they would not send Abrams any time soon.

Drunken men table chats
How we lost humanity
When SMO started, I can honestly say, now, after all this time, that I was peaceful, as a man can be. My friends noticed the difference and point it out to me recently. I was against hitting civilian infrastructure, and bridges, feeling sorry for dead opponents, and using ultimate weapons (for that, I'm still against but for a much more sinister reason - we will all be dead). Namely, I consider two nations brothers. Family quarrel. It will go away fast.
Now, as I'd pointed out, I'm a hawk. I could care less what would happen with those in enemy uniforms (would they die fast or slow, be maimed, or spend all their lives in bed or wheelchairs? I am brutalized. I realized that now. They want to transform NovoRossia into barren land, destroyed, polluted, and unhabitable for generations to come. Ukrainian ls dehumanized in my eyes. I wouldn't lift a finger if Russia carpet-bombed some of their cities into oblivion. But I found it a nonessential move in this war. If we want to take all, what to do with the heap of ruins? If not, we still need people. Because we do this for people. But we asked ourselves, what is stopping us from blasting their lines of defense with big bombs, thermo bombs, phosphorus bombs, and others? What is stopping us now to demolish bridges? What is stopping us to make their life miserable as one can be? People changed during this year. Just a minority believes in some kind of brotherhood. The imaginable brotherhood that holds us down to wipe them off from the map? It's naive thinking. We will never be brothers again. Blood spilled take care of that. So, why are we holding it down yet?" We didn't even start yet" - That line from Medvedev and Putin is echoing in our ears. The real deal will probably be when someone does all that I mentioned. Inpatient ones (me included ) are asking, what are we waiting for? We are afraid of their air defense? Not likely. Yes, there would be some losses, but you expect what in war? Blow lines of defense buried them there. Bomb communication lines, crumble everything to dust. Level power plants, not playing ping pong with stupid little drones. Wipe out bridges, tunnels, and main transport arteries. Destroy factories, and return them to the pre-industrial state. Germans did it already long ago. We rebuild it. What is the difference? False brotherhood?
When we spoke almost simultaneously about all this, we understand, at least me, how we lost part of our humanity. We were ready to leave the ash behind us. Psychology has an exact name and description for this attitude. Dehumanization. They are nothing to us anymore. Just walnuts that need to be broken or ideally smashed. But what psychology doesn't have is how to return us to our previous state. We are brutalized and bloodthirsty and we will become even more over time. So, what exactly is the time to end this? The longer it goes, it will be worse. Younger ones already learned whom to hate (despite our attempts to make them not hate anyone). But our former brothers and their allies are now boogeymen. We lost children as well. Maybe only their children will make some sense of this. But until then, we must do what needs to be done. We don't need to care about history. Everyone writes their own. And we started a big chapter. Expensive one, because we lost part of ourselves.

I wouldn't lift a finger if Russia carpet-bombed some of their cities into oblivion. But I found it a nonessential move in this war. If we want to take all, what to do with the heap of ruins? If not, we still need people. Because we do this for people. But we asked ourselves, what is stopping us from blasting their lines of defense with big bombs, thermo bombs, phosphorus bombs, and others? What is stopping us now to demolish bridges? What is stopping us to make their life miserable as one can be? People changed during this year. Just a minority believes in some kind of brotherhood. The imaginable brotherhood that holds us down to wipe them off from the map? It's naive thinking. We will never be brothers again. Blood spilled take care of that. So, why are we holding it down yet?" We didn't even start yet" - That line from Medvedev and Putin is echoing in our ears. The real deal will probably be when someone does all that I mentioned. Inpatient ones (me included ) are asking, what are we waiting for? We are afraid of their air defense? Not likely. Yes, there would be some losses, but you expect what in war? Blow lines of defense buried them there. Bomb communication lines, crumble everything to dust. Level power plants, not playing ping pong with stupid little drones. Wipe out bridges, tunnels, and main transport arteries. Destroy factories, and return them to the pre-industrial state. Germans did it already long ago. We rebuild it. What is the difference? False brotherhood?
When we spoke almost simultaneously about all this, we understand, at least me, how we lost part of our humanity. We were ready to leave the ash behind us. Psychology has an exact name and description for this attitude. Dehumanization. They are nothing to us anymore. Just walnuts that need to be broken or ideally smashed. But what psychology doesn't have is how to return us to our previous state. We are brutalized and bloodthirsty and we will become even more over time. So, what exactly is the time to end this? The longer it goes, it will be worse. Younger ones already learned whom to hate (despite our attempts to make them not hate anyone). But our former brothers and their allies are now boogeymen. We lost children as well. Maybe only their children will make some sense of this. But until then, we must do what needs to be done. We don't need to care about history. Everyone writes their own. And we started a big chapter. Expensive one, because we lost part of ourselves.

Telegram channel @Dva_Majors wrote a note to the civilians living in AFU controlled area :
To the people of Ukraine,
Everyone understands that during the past month, during which the Russian Armed Forces seized the initiative, there was preparation for an offensive. Open sources mention that the possible directions could be Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhya.
People living in these territories can themselves see signs of how the AFU is preparing these cities and regions for defense. The terrain is being mined, fortifications are being erected, and military columns and buses with mercenaries are coming.
The Ukrainian command has good intelligence from American satellites, processed by experienced think tanks.
But the Kiev regime is not officially announcing the evacuation of the population. Because fortifications are being built in the cities, civilians will once again become a human shield. The evacuation in Kupyansk was announced after the Russian Armed Forces approached the city and were around 7โ10 km away.
Ukrainian civilians should leave these cities by all means. The Russian Armed Forces will no longer conduct a police operation. There will be no more such nonsense as there was in Mariupol, when the position of an enemy sniper/machine gunner could not be demolished because there "might be civilians" in a half-destroyed five-story building.
And after all the horrifying videos of torture and execution of our soldiers, and the joyful reaction to them by a large number of Ukrainians, the attitude of soldiers and officers toward "civilians" has changed somewhat.
In addition, counterintelligence activities have shown that agents of the Ukrainian secret services are being infiltrated into the refugee population, helping the AFU target our units with artillery.
If you do not have the physical ability to leave, equip basements, stock up on water, canned food, medicines, and hygiene products. After entering a populated area controlled by the Russian Armed Forces, do not congregate in places where humanitarian aid is handed out. The Ukrainian armed forces also shelled such places in Mariupol (Sharyi has clips with stories from civilians) and now in the Kupyansk direction.
Do not get caught by the active service members. Neither the AFU nor the Russian Armed Forces. Mercenaries are already staging provocations dressed up in Russian uniforms in Liman and Chasov Yar.
Don't hope for the "luck of the draw." Prepare yourselves. Canned food will always come in handy.

The theme continues with the alleged recruitment of former servicemen of the Afghan armed forces by Russia.
They are offered $1,500 to $3,000 a month for 6 months of training in Russia, $7,000 a month on the battlefield, and Russian citizenship for them and their next of kin.
According to the Afghans, "If our situation is not taken care of 'financially', we will have to participate in the war between Russia and Ukraine."

NATO trained them. Now these Afghan soldiers are joining the Russian army to help attack Ukraine
Left without a cause โ or a job โ and exposed to Taliban retaliation after Kabulโs fall, these fighting men are being recruited into Russiaโs war by a network of their peers.

๐ British Prime Minister Sunak said in Munich that London would be the first to supply Kiev with "long-range weapons."
Turning to the European countries, Sunak urged not to consider the depletion of their arsenals as a problem, because, in his opinion, they were intended to fight the Russian Federation.
