In an interview with RT DE, the former politician and member of the Bundestag, Willy Wimmer, explains background to the current military discussion in Ukraine. He explains that French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized on his state visit to Moscow at the beginning of the year that Russia had the right to ask certain questions and also a certain right to get answers. This principle has been negated since the outbreak of the war at the latest. Wimmer also explains that it is the task of German politics to do everything to end hostility in Ukraine. The sanctions are the wrong way and are exemplary for a missed policy.

An ally of President Vladimir Putin has supported plans
by Moscow-backed separatists in Ukraine to hold referendums,
paving the way for the annexation of swathes of areas.
It's a move that would seriously escalate Moscow's confrontation with the West.
Matthew Larotonda reports.

Dear Nato... you gotta know...



NATO boots on the ground in the coming hours or not.
if/then
1. boots on the ground & a 'pull back' from Donetsk/Luhansk to go 'nose to nose' permanently/ new 'berlin wall'
or
2. boots on the ground and escalation/bloodshed all hell breaking loose

However, neither Poland nor the UK have the problem that Germany has. As is well known, there is still no German-Russian peace treaty. This means that as soon as the Russian side evaluates an act as German participation in the war – this cannot be repeated often enough – any kind of act of war against Germany is legal. Because the last war is still in a state of truce, which would then be broken.

Putin‘s speech will allegedly be aired on September 21, when the Far East "wakes up" - Forbes writes, citing two unconfirmed sources. Weird. Only New Year speeches are getting aired like that.

Not weird but significant imo...

Far East is now awake. 8 am Beijing time.

[Böhse Tante]

I just got an idea. Quite a few translators may have plenty of work to do tonight to add subtitles to Putin's speech. So that it can be understood in as many countries as possible.

Erdogan names condition for Ukrainian settlement
Russia should not be allowed to keep the territory it has gained since February, the Turkish president has said

A settlement in the Ukrainian conflict would require Russia to return all “invaded” lands to Ukraine,
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday in an interview with the PBS news outlet.
Asked if Moscow could be permitted to keep territory gained since the conflict began in February, Erdogan said: “No, and undoubtedly no.”
“If a peace is going to be established in Ukraine, of course, the returning of the land that was invaded will become really important.
This is what is expected. This is what is wanted,” he said.
“The lands which were invaded will be returned to Ukraine,” the Turkish leader added.

Germany reacts to Donbass referendum plans
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Berlin will not recognize the “sham referendums” in the breakaway republics

Ukraine’s Western allies have responded angrily
to plans announced by the Donbass republics on Tuesday to hold referendums on joining Russia.
Berlin and Washington were among the first to say they would never recognize the results of the votes.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz brushed off the upcoming votes
as “sham referendums” that “cannot be accepted,” the DPA news agency reported.
Such a move would contradict international law,
Scholz told journalists on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Earlier, the US said it will “never recognize Russia’s claims to any purportedly annexed parts of Ukraine.”
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters
that Washington will always consider them part of Ukraine,
adding that the US also “rejects Russia’s actions unequivocally.”

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
also branded the upcoming polls “sham referendums” on Twitter,
where he called on the international community to “condemn this blatant violation of international law.”
The NATO chief described the development as a “further escalation” of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Serbian leader warns of imminent global war
Aleksandar Vucic sees only escalation ahead for the West’s relations with Russia and China


The world is approaching a major conflict unseen since 1945, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warned on Tuesday,
after the first day of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
Small countries can’t expect any good news going forward, Vucic added.
“You see a crisis in every part of the world,” Vucic told the Serbian state broadcaster RTS,
noting that the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made gloomy predictions in his keynote speech at the UNGA.

“I think realistic predictions ought to be even darker,” Vucic said.
“Our position is even worse, since the UN has been weakened
and the great powers have taken over and practically destroyed the UN order over the past several decades.”
Asked about the upcoming speech by Russian President Vladimir Putin,
Vucic said it’s not difficult to predict its general outline:

I assume that we’re leaving the phase of the special military operation and approaching a major armed conflict,
and now the question becomes where is the line, and whether after a certain time – maybe a month or two, even –
we will enter a great world conflict not seen since the Second World War.

“For all of us small [countries] who only want to be secure and provide safety to our citizens,
there is no good or easy news.
I expect everything going forward to involve more complicated relations between the West and Russia,
but also between the West and China,” the Serbian president added.

@RVvoenkor reports: The battle for Kupyansk is in full swing: information about our retreat has been partially confirmed
For more than a week, this city in Kharkov region has been divided: the western part is held by the AFU, the eastern part by us.
The other day, our troops abandoned several blocks in the eastern part, which were subject to the most devastating fire from the AFU's artillery.
After an incursion by the AFU, our forces launched a counterstrike, driving the enemy into the sack.
There are urban battles involving tanks and artillery.
Special Forces attacked and guided the artillery several times against AFU forces
as they attempted to traverse the Seversky Donets river near Kupyansk.
The AFU Command has not declared the capture of the town by the AFU, but only reports shelling in the area.
The French Le Monde has published (https://t.me/RVvoenkor/26522)
 an article stating that the Russian army is holding back the Ukrainian counteroffensive near Kupyansk,
continuing to hold the railway junction and repelling the AFU onslaught in this direction.
