DAY 199, now 9. Friday morning in
Ukraine where - stunning, if reports are true - Kyiv may have big POW bargaining power with captured Lt. Gen. Andrei Sychevoi, in command of RU’s “West” Group the most senior Russ officer captured since WW II VIDEO at/1 .

In Wednesday’s address, President Zelensky emphasized that “we are constantly trying to achieve the liberation of our prisoners of war”. tinyurl.com/ZelenskyySEP07

This could be a big one. Or maybe like Stalin, Putin might regard a captured General as a traitor & abandon him. Time will tell.

mole on his check, his hairline, his nose. If confirmed, and *IF* UKR overran his HQ *and* IF it got all its paper & electronic records...intact….. BIG IFs… but, if so, then maybe…

isn't just a matter of codes, cyphers, and operational plans, it’s also
• RU political & military policy directives that reached that Front HQ from pre-war planning to date.
• filtration lists, kill lists, info on who & what to ethnically cleanse.

• RU ministry directives on what to steal from UA and who to sent it to “This is such a systematic level of documentation of Russian War crimes and who did them it will need it's own globally hosted electronic holocaust research center to process them for war crime trials for/6

- for the next 80 years.
“It will have ongoing political appreciations of Western governments that were applicable to the Front's operations.
“This will provide Ukraine considerable leverage against a whole lot of EU & US politicians for decades.”

“Ukraine has captured what amounts to an information weapon nuclear arsenal to use against Russia & Russia's tools/fools for generations.

Anyway, the answer to #KennethGregg’s question yesterday morning, “Do we see the beginning of the end for Russian Donbass?“ is much more likely YES If the captured fella in lt col clothes is actually the Russian general with responsibility for this entire Front.

AND according to General Staff on FB
Residents of Transnistria (occupied Moldova,just West of Ukraine bordering Romania) have refused to renew contracts with Russia for the troops & military base stationed there AND the troops have started to run away” facebook.com/10006904288584…

Meanwhile, ministers of defense from approx 50 countries gathered in SW Germany yesterday for the 5th meeting of the Ukraine Contact Group, this time back at Ramstein Air Base. Joined by UN Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

If you have not already read yesterday’s report from Ukraine’s Commander in Chief, now could be a good time.
excerpt:
/12

“Any Russian attempts at practical steps in the use of tactical nuclear weapons must be pre-empted by employing the entire arsenal of means at the disposal of world powers.
/13

“After all, starting from this moment, the Russian Federation will become not only a threat to the peaceful coexistence of Ukraine, its neighbors, and a number of European countries but also a truly global-scale terrorist state.
/14

“[it’s urgent right now to] create the prerequisites for Ukraine to defeat the aggressor’s army and put to an end the destructive war that is raging in Europe.”
