Two FSB and Wagner PMC officers ask for asylum in France and testify, reports Gulagu.net
14 October 2022 20:11A Wagner PMC employee and an FSB officer have requested political asylum in France, Vladimir Osechkin, head of the Gulagu.net media project, told The Insider. According to Osechkin, the two are now giving testimonies to help the international investigation into Russia's war crimes. Their testimony details the corruption schemes in Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), as well as the history of the establishment of the Wagner Private Military Company as a «branch» of the GRU (Russia’s military intelligence service – Translator’s note), said Osechkin. According to him, several members of Russia’s special services have already been able to leave Russia in recent months and seek asylum abroad. They are also testifying.
"One of the people is connected with the work of [Evgeny] Prigozhin's headquarters and team, while the other is an FSB officer. Both of them flew on the same plane and sent their boarding passes, according to [our] rules. So when we saw almost identical boarding passes with the same markings, we thought that two different people had sent us the same ticket - then we looked closer and discovered that one was sitting in the 28th row, while the other was in the 29th. Both went in sync to request political asylum and international protection, it seemed odd - each thought the other was targeting him. The French police and airport security were also suspicious - the situation was extraordinary to say the least.
Now each of them will testify about war crimes and hopefully they will have the opportunity to cooperate with the international investigation and testify against Evgeny Prigozhin and other people from the Putin regime. A major foreign TV channel is devoting a report to one of these testimonies. I can say that they concern how the Wagner PMC was created within the Russian Ministry of Defense under the aegis of the GRU, how the state set up a system of financing and supplying the PMCs and how these secret units were involved in subversive activities in eastern Ukraine, directly in the Luhansk region.
The FSB officer has quite serious inside information about the flow of documents, with a lot of important information, which will be published in several stages. The documents concern both the invasion of Ukraine and recent developments in the counterintelligence department and the Ministry of Defense.
I would like to note that European countries, including France, are the countries that offer political asylum and protection not to those who come to deliver their secrets, but to those who are in danger, who risk not only their freedom but also their lives and health. When members of Putin's system leave it, they become enemies of the system. We know many examples of this. The most sensational case is Sergey Skripal, but also the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, etc.
In recent months, a number of people who were directly involved in Putin's regime have left Russia, the chairman of one of the courts flew to an EU country and delivers a rather detailed and consistent testimony about how the FSB and Putin's administration absorbed the independent judiciary and subjugated the judges, turning the entire system into a branch that approves decisions after a phone call from their handlers."

Russian army will be 'annihilated' if Putin nukes Ukraine: Borrell
Brussels (AFP) Oct 13, 2022 - EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned Moscow on Thursday its forces would be annihilated by the West's military response if President Vladimir Putin uses nuclear weapons against Ukraine.

The third Chechen Independence War will probably not be won by Russia after it has squandered all its military potential in Ukraine...
Remember how Russia's Military Industrial Complex had supposedly been going on overdrive to prepare for this war these last three years?
Now keep this above in mind because here's Russian Pundits' latest plan to win: threaten the USA by flooding countries hostile to the US with weapons, to create a sort of mirror proxy war. But what weapons? They don't have enough weapons for their own army.
(BTW: lol at them thinking they are the only country that can "oppose the West". I'm sure China will appreciate.)
The funny thing is that the outcome they fear -- a repeat of 1991, Russia crumbling and getting dismantled -- is very likely to happen as a consequence of this stupid self-inflicted war. They're slaughtering their economy, in addition to their citizens, with the not-so-partial mobilization, and this is starting to cause serious internal troubles.

Russia has been very stupid with this war given how many local enemies it has. What if the Chechens turn again, and Georgia and Moldova start taking back what's theirs simultaneously?

Details about the French VAB armored vehicle of the Ukrainian army. The armored vehicle was developed by Renault and Savier in 1976 and was produced in different versions. The VAB 4x4 version armed with a 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun was delivered to Ukraine. VAB armor provides protection only from 7.62 mm bullets, for which the car has been repeatedly criticized. There was also a weak protection against mines. The crew of the car is 2 people, the landing force is 10 people. Armored vehicle engine power - 300 hp The maximum speed on the highway is 110 km / h. Fuel range is about 1000 km. The armored car in various modifications is in service with about 15 countries.
Powerful defensive lines with the help of engineering equipment are created by the Russian PMC Wagner in Ukraine. Engineering units of PMC Wagner installed concrete tetrahedrons, anti-tank gouges, ditches and trenches were dug. Firing positions for infantry and equipment were created, and mining of the territory was probably carried out on the approaches to the defense line.
The Ukrainian army began to use the English counter-battery system MAMBA ARTHUR. It was reported that the MAMBA radar was supplied from England, but the experts found out that this is a similar Swedish ARTHUR radar of modification "A". The MAMBA ARTHUR radar is a mobile radar designed to determine the location of firing installations in the direction of their firing. The detection range of firing positions of 82-mm mortars is 20 km, of 120-mm mortars - up to 35 km, MLRS - up to 45 km, the accuracy of determining coordinates - up to 25 m, the system fixes - up to 100 targets per minute. Data on priority targets are transmitted to the control point in automatic or semi-automatic mode. To expand the search area, a network of four radars can be created. The radar is placed on the chassis of the Bv206 all-terrain vehicle. The cost of the ARTHUR radar, 5 million dollars.
Fight in Ukraine. Russian units, noticing a column of Ukrainian armored vehicles and firing points near the forest belt, aimed several tanks at them. UAV operators comment and correct the fire of tanks.
