Report # 134. AFU major disaster in the South. Kiev prevents the IAEA team to visit ZNPP by extra shelling

August 31, 2022

1. Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) suffered heavy losses

As a result of the defeat of the Ukrainian offensive on Zelensky's personal orders in Nikolaev-Krivoi Rog and other directions, AFU suffered heavy losses for a very short time – for the first time. Ukrainian 524 “major offensive” widely advertised by Ukrainian and Western mass media has vanished in the haze.

During the last two days of unsuccessful attacks in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog and other directions,


Russian forces destroyed:

63 Ukrainian tanks,

59 infantry fighting vehicles,

48 other armored fighting vehicles,

14 pickup trucks with large-caliber machine guns,

And over 1,700 Ukrainian GIs.


Ukrainian troops also lost four combat aircraft: two Su-25s, one Su-24 and one MiG-29. Three Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters were shot down in the air. During repel of the enemy offensive the Russian troops have defeated units of 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of AFU redeployed from western Ukraine.

Just in two days …

The leaders of the USA, the UK, Canada, FRG, etc: don’t you wish to stop the third aggression launched by Kiev against Donbass and against other areas in Ukraine dreaming for living outside neo-Nazi Ukraine? Don’t you understand that your blood money will never help the butcher-in-Kiev?

Reality for you: since February 24, 2022 Kiev has not liberated any of its territory.

 

2. Developments on the other fronts (if you have not time to read it full, just see the latest data in the box below)

High-precision ground-based weapons near Aleksandrovka, Dnepropetrovsk Region, have hit a temporary deployment point and an ammunition depot of 1st Tank Brigade of AFU. More than 200 fighters, including about 40 foreign mercenaries, more than 20 armoured vehicles and a large quantity of artillery shells have been destroyed.

3. Kiev regime continues shelling ZNPP on the eve of the IAEA team visit

Ukraine continues to arrange a man-made nuclear disaster at Zaporozhye NPP (ZNPP), thus blocking the visit of the IAEA inspectors to that place:

On August 29, Ukrainian troops used 4 Polish-made strike kamikadze drones at the plant. All the drones were intercepted by Russian means. One of the drones fell on the roof of Special Building No 1, which stores US-made nuclear fuel and solid radioactive waste. Damage and casualties were avoided.

On August 30, Ukrainian artillery fired 2 shells into the territory of the nuclear power plant, which exploded near Special Building No 1.

On August 31, several hours before the IAEA inspection team’s arrival to ZNPP was expected to reach ZNPP, Zelensky’s troops have shelled more by 60 missiles and artillery ammunition. Several shells hit depot of fresh nuclear fuel.

Цель визита миссии МАГАТЭ на Запорожскую АЭС – предотвращение ядерной аварииAll Ukrainian attacks came from artillery positions of AFU near Marganets, Dnepropetrovsk Region. Russian Armed Forces artillery return fire have suppressed enemy firepower.

Kiev intentionally shelled ZNPP several hours before the UN SC meeting was convened on August 23, and soon after it was closed.

The same story repeats today.

And the U.S. State Department says that it does not know who is responsible for such shelling of the biggest NPP in Europe (?)

Incredible unprofessionalism. That’s on one hand.

On the other – it is covering up a war criminal and nuclear blackmailer – Zelensky. Still:WANTED”.

Like in a U.S. publicly posted police announcement.
